Rain
Comic 1054 - Sappy
Author Notes:
Anyway, this one took a bit of extra time rewriting this page a bit today, because I wasn't satisfied with the original wording. I think I'm very happy with it now though.
For those of you who like to snark about me repeatedly adding new arcs without resolving the old ones: well, here you go. An arc is resolved. Maria and Emily have finally made up and completely forgiven each other after almost a thousand pages spanning their relationship of outright hating each other, to passive tolerance of each other, to "we have the same friends so we should try to be civil with each other". I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but these pages make me really happy. ^_^
And for some of my more cynical readers whose only takeaway is "but does Maria really have time to be wasting with this right now?" Realistically, no, probably not. But I'd like to offer the mental image of Pete (the receptionist Maria sent looking for supplies for Emily's alleged labor), frantically running into rooms incoherently shouting about how "he needs supplies because the baby is coming" and him not clarifying because he doesn't have time to explain either.
Because fiction. XD

*Agent Maria, code name Flaming Dyke*, hoping around lasers and cameras, avoiding robot father Quentions that shoot harmful conversion rays from their eyes*
(insert cool code pad hacking scene here)
*One of the Quention bots spots Maria, attempting to shoot her with conversion rays!*
*She jumps onto the wall and rebounds, kicking off the robot's head*
*she dashes out the back door*
*The Blair 10000, the latest in flying hover car technology, quickly descends and Maria jumps in, just as more Quention bots stream out the door, trying to shoot down Blair and Maria with their conversion rays*
*Yes, maria did in fact call herself this, as an announcement to the entire school.
You'll be okay, though. You're tough and strong; you might be sad or crushed, I don't know, but I'm confident that you'll bounce back. We've all got that in us, and you seem to have it in spades.
Anyway. I hope life turns sweeter to you soon and you find some truer friends. On the off-chance that you want to talk to an Internet stranger, I'm right here.
It seems like everyone loses someone in their transition. Often several someones. If there's any silver lining to it, it's that you'll now have more time for the people who accept you fully. <3
Seriously though, I couldn't think of a better way to end this arc.
I mean, it's possible they might face some hardships because of taking this time right now. But I'm sure they'll persevere and make it through anything thrown at them.
Also, for what it's worth... At 46, I'm still a stupid kid in a lot of ways. It's almost like turning {some arbitrary age less than 46} didn't magically make me a perfect adult.
Yes. Yes I am.
