After the movie
Ok, I love making up stories for the characters after the movie. It's something I've been doing off and on with various different movies since I first read one on The Little Giants message board by someone else.
Sam and Austin-Since it was very apperent that they went to Princeton together, they also graduated with degrees in journalism or something along the lines of writing. Since most univsersities are four year ones, they graduated in 2008 and got married that summer. They are now living in Northridge and are getting their writing careers off to a good start as well as running things at Hal's Diner. They are now trying to have a baby.
Since Rhonda was the mother figure that Sam never had and after she become free of Fiona, Sam and Rhonda decided to make it official as mother and daughter. Even though Sam was 18 when Rhonda adopted it was the happiest day for them both when it become legal and official. Sam and Rhonda remain very close to this day.
Fiona and her daughters-They continued to work at Hal's Diner, but all three were fired after not pulling their own weight. Since none were very bright and smart, they started to attend a small community college in their town, but all three dropped out because they had always been used to being served hand and foot and couldn't handle having to do things for themselves. The two girls now work at different fast food places and Fiona is now a circus worker cleaning elephant butts and cleaning up after all the other animals.
(I had to put that in there since Fiona made a comment about Sam cleaning elephant butts somewhere during the movie) One day while giving an elephant a bath, she didn't realize that this elephant was having some bad diarreha and the she got a huge, nasty mess on her after the elephant took a dump and she happened to be right below it's butt.
Carter and the DJ-It was also apparent that Carter and the DJ girl hooked up at the end of the movie. In 2007, they got married after discovering that she was pregnant with his child.
Shelby-It took a long time for Shelby to get over Austin, since she was always one who got her way in everything. After Austin ran off to college with Sam, she become extremely jealous and sent him letters begging him to come back to her. Austin, who usually ignored these letters and never responded, finally got sick of them and told Shelby that they are over and to never write him again. Shelby snapped and drove to Princeton and tried to hurt Sam. She was arrested and put in jail for assault. She got 1 year in prison and while there, she got into a fight with another inmate, who messed up her face badly and she's still recovering from that after having numerous plastic surgeries.
If anyone else wants to add on or change the stories, please feel free to do so. Especially the one about Shelby. I wrote a similiar piece for Meredith on Parent Trap 1998, but knew that this one for Shelby had to be different since they are two different characters, but I'm not very happy about Shelby's story.
