What?!! THE END? That made me really sad because you know how much I liked your story! I will ofcourse respect your decision and can't wait to read what other MSCL stories you will come out with in the future...that being said...on to the review...well this FINAL (*sob* *sob*) chapter was really great. I mean the whole Cynthia Jordan situation was just like a train wreck waiting to happen what with the way that Jordan was acting with her. I would honestly react exactly the way that Angela had and I'm glad that she had the guts to be so open and honest with her feelings with Jordan (even if it was only because she couldn't help it because she was so mad at him, lol)...Jordan's reaction to it was also very typical Jordan, becoming exasperated and withdrawing like he did...the whole interaction between Angela, Rickie and Rayanne was also very much in character and I enjoyed Rayanne's remarks especially that can't turn a ho into a houswife bit and how quick she was to suggest a way to get back at Jordan in having his car stolen...very Rayanne. Also I really liked the way that Rickie and Rayanne made Angela see that Jordan probably wasn't doing the things he did for the reasosn Angela believed, but that he was still wrong for doing them, because on the show, Rickie especially, would always make Angela see another side to situations and was kind of like her reality sounding board.

The way that Angela and Jordan were joking around in the phone conversation was really cute and reminded me of one of the episodes when Jordan was teasing her about liking him because he overheard her mom saying it and I really liked it a lot, especially when Angela innocently blurted out that she loved him, and then freaking out and trying to explain to him that she didn't mean it that way (because she hadn't) and then abruptly hanging up on him.

Finally, in the end, we got to see a glimpse of what Jordan was going to say to Angela and how he really felt about her...even though we didn't get to hear the actual words..boo...but hopefully you will re-visit that in the much anticipated epilogue (*hint*hint*nudge*nudge*). It was a great final chapter and a great story overall...thank you so much for sharing it...I just wish you had written more...but I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the future... : )

oh, i am sorry because i am just getting around to reviewing and now it's over and I really liked it. So let me say - great last couple chapters - loved the phone conversation, the double date, liked Jordans teenage boy freak out a few chapters back "maybe she'll want to get married", and Angela's ultimatum and retraction. I thought Jordan's mom was really well done. There was a lot of very believable, good dialogue all along, and I liked the whole spirit and flavor of your story. So you did good. Thank you and I hope you'll write more.

The End?? Just as we're about to find out what Jordan Catalano really thinks? - Girl, that's just cruel! lol
Ive really enjoyed reading this fic and it would be nice to hear more but I guess, if you think it's run it's course, it's best to bow out gracefully. Afterall, writing fan fic should be fun and not a chore. Still, I'm looking forward to the epilogue and hope that you start a new fic sometime soon. ~LJ~

Let me begin by saying that I am ignoring the fact that you've said that this is the end. There is no such thing as a beta unemployment agency, so where does that leave me now? LOL I'm going to miss this fic. There are so few current ones and yours is among the best. I really liked these last two chapters because, like the show, they highlighted a perfectly routine thing that teenagers do (going out on a date, eating burgers with their friends) and put the MSCL whammy on it. There was so much in these two chapters, in terms of emotion, and the characters were spot on.

My favorite line is, "‘let me get your napkin for you Cyn’, ‘let me wipe your face for you Cyn’, ‘Hey Cyn you remember that great night we had having sex in the back seat of my car’" Absolutely hilarious! I could just see Angela having a hissy fit and his responses are perfect. As always Rayanne is a scream, instigating and offering to take his car apart in retaliation for his bad behavior. Loved it!

The phone call and the playful banter between them was good too. It reminded me of when he said to her in the library that she could sleep with him if she really wanted to help. There was a playfulness between them that we didn't get to see a lot of, but I would imagine that your apology/boxing discussion would fit perfectly in their relationship.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I got to that last sentence and wanted to strangle the life out of you. If anyone else is reading this, I just want you to know that even her beta never got to hear him say the words.

I'm looking forward to the epilogue and at the same time, not, because it means that this is really over. *pouting* My hope is that you'll start a new one soon. We need all the good writers we can get in this fandom.

you are a tease. You almost made my heart jump in my throat. Your worst than American idol when they announced whose going to go home or whose going to stay. Just joking but excellent story though. The journey to the climax is quite a ride :)

Great update GNG23! I like how affected Jordan was over Angela's ultimatum as it shows how much he truly cares for her. Too bad that Angela jumped the gun though by apologizing to Jordan first and taking back her ultimatium, I would really have liked to have found out what Jordan's response to her ultimatum would have been. Wow, that double date with Shane and Cynthia came out of nowhere and it's interesting that Shane would have picked one of Jordan's exes but it makes it really interesting! I cant wait to see how it goes because its already off to such an awkward start. Im wondering if this is going to cause another fight between Jordan and Angela...

AWKWARD! Wow. They just can't catch a ** break, can they?

Again, I totally had to re-read and I felt like such a dork. Why is it I can remember the plots of 25 so-so stories and not the plot of one I actually enjoyed?!?!? Anyway, great chapter.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with the next one!

Great chapter. Part of me really wants to know what jordan had planned to say to Angela but it's so fitting that she forgave him without any speeches and he could stay the man of few words that we all love.
I really like the way you have written Shane - giving good advice on one hand but also kind of tricking Jordan into agreeing that it was ok for him to see someone jordan had ummed. Made me smile. Looking forward to the next installment. ~LJ~

Yay! So happy you updated. Let me formally apologize to your readers for eating up all your time with beta duties. It's just that she's really good, so I keep sending her stuff. :-) Now, for the review.

This is getting good. I love the interaction between the guys and how Jordan struggles to find the right words to say to her only for her to hijack the apology. Perfect! I can't wait to see what insanity this turns into.

Miss Superintrospective,obssessive must be losing her mind over this and poor Jordan, just when he gets out of the doghouse, boom he's right back in there and he didn't even see it coming. I have to say this is a brilliant plot twist. Lots of us use Cynthia Hargrove in our fics, but I think this is the first time I've seen her put in a situation like this one, so kudos on being so original. I'm really chomping at the bit for you to post the next part. Good job, GoodnightGirl :-)

Just what I needed a little pre-wedding distraction ;-)
Great chapter, really really good!
Oh I need to watch MSCL again, haha I really don't have the time!

Your story is REALLY good. I really like how you write Jordan, and Angela's internal voice. I also like the leap that Jordan made in his head between sex and marriage...guys do tend to freak out like that. I was trying to come up with some kind of constructive criticism, but I couldn't think of anything =o). You're doing a great job, keep it up!

This is a great update! Im already dying to know how Jordan will handle Angela's ultimatum. I hope he comes through for her. I really liked the advise that Shane gave Jordan, it was a very guy like way of giving advise and such a contrast to Angela and Sharon's convo. Sad about Patty and Graham. Please keep them coming. This is a great story.

Great update - the first paragraph sounds like it could be an Angela VO from one of the episodes. I liked the conversation between Shane and Jordan and I think Sharon's dialogue is also very in charecter. Can't wait to see how Jordan reacts to Angela's ultimatum. ~LJ~

good chapter, please update soon, hopefully jordan can be what she needs

I'm glad you updated this story, cause this is one of my favorites
You don't know how many times I reread this story.
I think It's too much for Angela to expect Jordan to be there for her when she falls down Jordan is more broken than her. I guess being cocoon in her parents protection has made her insensitive to other people's plight. I can't believe that she's attracted to him leaning and closing his eyes. She never notice if something is bothering him. That cause him to have that situation. Even in the show she never question Jordan about his questionable body language.
