After the previous much too long text, now something short :-)

I think I haven‘t mentioned it so far. I really like Ted. In the show, I was a little bit surprised about his role when Brian‘s got diagnosed with cancer, but it was a good surprise. Ted‘s really a great guy and I see him as a much better choice for a best friend. So, I like stories in which Brian and Ted develop a great friendship. And I felt very happy for Justin getting accepted at Cal Arts! That‘s a step in the right direction - so, one step at a time! ;-) And Brian‘s reaction is so cute! Oh, all these goodbye-speeches are heartbreaking... and again, you managed to portray all their characters so well!How I would have love to see this beach-scene in the show. As I mentioned before, your version of how it could have been in S5 is so much better! „genuine happiness written across his face" Makes me smile!

Author's Response:

I've always liked Ted. Just like I like Melanie. I have a soft spot for "nerds." And I loved how Ted and Brian's relationship slowly and quietly developed in the series. 

I also love the beach scene - I was hoping with Brian picking him up and spinning him around it would be reminiscent of prom...

Amazing chapter! The end is wonderful: I love when Brian is genuinely happy and shows it with a smile.

Their lives won't always be easy in LA, but they are together by choice and away from the gang and its permanent advices and judgments.

I loved the “Congratulations Walt Disney!” from Debbie; it was a great way to cut the chase and to loop the loop.

Lindsay and Mel are so engrossed by their "our lives and our choices are always better than yours, listen to us and do as we say".

Michael was weird and Emmett was very protective.

Molly was funny with her way to get a room for her next holiday.

Author's Response:

Thank you! You're right, LA won't be easy but they have each other and it will be good for them to get away from how everyone sees them in Pittsburgh. 

I'm glad you liked Molly!
