Well,

I loved that there was an Eddie in the story!
Another thing I liked, the way Nora didn't exactly
take advantage of Scooter in the way I thought she would.
I expected something until, it was only an innocent dance. I
could not help but squeal. You see, I thought she
was to do something out of jealousy, though thankfully
that thought never came true.

I loved the interaction with Richard and co.
I couldn't help but sigh in awe.

I loved this fic. :smile:

Awwwww...

Oh, Nora, you took your corsage off on purpose and you know it! (laughs softly) But she just wanted to take one last dance with Scooter, so there you go.

And I like how Catherine and I subtly moved in our chairs to keep Sara from noticing - that's exactly what I would have done in real life. And I love how Richard and the ghosts came down from their clouds to join in.

Well done, Ed, very well done!

That was a marvelous ending to a marvelous tale, Count.:smile: I had the same thoughts as BeakerSqueedom had about Nora, thinking she was going to woo him behind Sara's back or something. But, luckily, it was only something innocent and kept the marriage between Scooter and his new bride safe.

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece with us.:wink:

Gee... What devious minds you guys have. Almost makes me want to post the last segment again, slightly altered. Hmmm, maybe a deleted scene? We'll see what happens, should you the masses demand it.

That's your fault Eddie, you tricked me into thinking that way.
:wink:

LOL!
Kidding, that'd be interesting...

I must say that I was thinking that there was going to be a big scene too. Would love to know if orginally there really was!

Well, when it comes to me, I'm the king of thinking up chaotic plot twists (just read "The Spectacular" or any other story I've written in the past), so it shouldn't come as any big surprise that I'd think that way. lol! :smile:

I'll tell you this much, Count. If you do go back and slightly alter that last segment, then I'm certain it'll make this short story a lot longer. But, in my honest opinion, it's fine how it is. I knew it was a feel-good ending, because I'm not as down as I was before I read it. ^_^

Well... What I'm thinking will only expand on the clandestine conversation at the reception, but won't put any true damper on the ending.
Waiting to see if some friends update their own writings before deciding to post this deleted scene, you kow, use the one piece of leverage I have.
