Even though this chapter was basic plot development, nothing overly adventurous or exciting, I really enjoyed it and thought it read really smoothly. I love how you (in all your stories) are able to transition the Planeteers into real, believable people, especially as they mature into adults! I'm sure it must feel weird for them to separate for "vacation," and it's always hard to realize (like Linka is) that those who were your teachers, mentors and idols will grow old some day. I like how you've already made Suchi a repeat, important comic-relief part of this story. He commonly gets forgotten, and I have a feeling that this potentially heavy story will continue to benefit from moments like Suchi and Wheeler sharing the popcorn.

Great chapter! I can really imagine Linka saying that comment about Wheeler's eating habits ("Charming, Yankee... you eat like a pig."), and it made me smile.

If sex in an airplane is called "joining the mile high club" then what do you call sex in a submarine? So many dirty possibilities! ;)

Poor Linka. Alzheimer's runs in my family. My grandpa's sister has it pretty bad, to the point where she's forgetting how to eat. It scares me any time my mom forgets something, or tells me something more than once. And my best friend's grandma has it. It's hard watching how it affects her when she goes to visit. I feel like I should ask "How's your Gram doing?" But I know the answer is never going to be good and I don't want to upset her by making her talk about it, so I know how Wheeler and Gi must be feeling when it comes to comforting Linka. There's nothing that anyone can say to make it better. But I'm looking forward to seeing how you have Gi and Wheeler comfort Linka and I might use steal your ideas in real life!

Good to see that things are settling in, though sad that some things are beyond your control. but it is important to assume that there is a world they left behind and that it's part of each. Keep up the good work and please update soon.

omg i loved this chapter (and not just because of the hot scene lol). This is really building up now and I didn't like the feeling of drawing to the end of the chapter. Nooo I want more! I loved the look of terror Wheeler had when Linka burst into tears. Poor Ma-Ti :(

I like how you started to wrap things up with the Planeteers in their prospective situations and yet left the doors wide open for them to take it home with them. It clearly indicates that they can't just abandon all of their family/life responsibilities just because of their roles as Planeteers and they can so easily forget about the other parts of their lives when they're not immersed in them.

I was right about Kwame too! Poor Gi though. I think you wrote them both well in this scenario. I like how Gi's dad was the quiet support for her. Will be interesting to see how they patch things up ;)

It seems that this all very sad. At last Wheeler looks good. Gi's mother makes me angry. Continue your great job.

Hey you updated. I enjoyed reading especially Gi's father's side. And im glad they are coming back home. Kwame should be a bit understanding though. Hope u reply my PM :-D

So sad to see that Wheeler's father hasn't done anything to help himself and is getting worse.

And Gi's mom sounds like mine! "you're old, unmarried, I'll never have grandchildren, wasted all that time and money on a degree you're not using..." Yeah, Mamma Becks and Umma should be friends!

This chapter felt so refreshing to read. I enjoyed reading what each one was up to. I don't believe im gonna say this but Wheeler and Trish were so cute together and i wish i could see them progressing from there. Gi's mum is a pain in the backside. I felt so annoyed with her, i mean what the hell with "straighten your posture, Gi, you are walking slouched"

You are doing such a great job Oz. Cant wait for the update.

I love this chapter. This is all very sad. I felt very sorry for Linka, but the reality is very cruel. The part of Wheeler is very disheartening as well. Ma-ti will need much strength, but that he has, thankfully. Gi's mother looks scary, but it must be love by her daughter, although not the best way to love, but whatever.

I love everything. Please update soon. I can't wait again.

I love every chapter of this story, just a look into the Planeteers' life without seeing them as a group - as Planeteers. It's a really good plot, I gotta admit that. :)

I particularly enjoy Wheeler's story, for various reasons, but I also like Linka's part, too. and I feel very sad for her. :( Maybe now she'll believe Mishka. Although I'd much rather prefer it to turn out Mishka's been lying... Because they'll face very difficult times now.

And I can't forget Gi and her connection with her mother... It's quite heartbreaking, you know? But very, very good. I hope they won't give her hell about Kwame...

I can't wait for the next part, again. :)

And just apart from everything, I want you to check out the song from the movie Camp Rock: Final Jam. The song's title is "Wouldn't change a thing" and except for the part with "fire and rain", it actually very much suits Wheeler and Linka. :) I just thought you might think that, too and wanted to share it.

Another awesome chapter.

Poor Linka, I suspected this was going to happen, and she set herself for the hard slap of reality in the face, unfortunately. Though I can't blame her for wanting to hold on to the comfort and security that comes with denial.

I feel Wheeler's frustration with his dad. It'd be so hard to see someone fading away by their own hand, and to know the anxiety it causes on his mum. I like that his dad speaks highly of his son, even if not to his face. Nice little scene with Wheeler and Trish too. Thought it showed that even a tough city kid has his vulnerabilities and seeks comfort in stability and familiarity.

Poor Ma-Ti! I can't imagine the burden he carries and what he will face. And despite his feelings he is prepared to face and accept reality.

Kwame is being too calm that I suspect something coming ;) Haha, and I was suprised how Gi managed to bite her tongue!

Nice work! You're doing a great job of keeping an interesting story going for each of the planeteers.

I'm kinda waiting for something horrible to happen and hoping it doesn't but I'll be waiting to read the next chapter anyway. :o)

I love it how the characters each feel without their fellow Planeteers. I think it's fastest seen with Linka, her being bored already and all.

I hope everything works out for Ma-Ti... That sounds like a pretty serious case. :(

As for Wheeler, I totally love his part. He must feel really bad with himself and about his life... And I feel very sorry for him, that having a terrible father isn't enough bad luck for him, he's also hated by the neighbours, and why. I very much liked his part and can't wait to get more.

At least Gi and Kwame are having a good time. ;) Although I feel horrible about Gi and her mother and the redecorating. It's so sad.
