I could sorta see that. Peanut already has a crush on Grape. I could see Tarot turning to Maxwell for advise and it becoming something a little more, even if just a deeper friendship.

I really hope that it doesn't involve Maxwell and Tarot getting together if Peanut/Tarot and Maxwell/Grape end up breaking up. I am not a big fan of swapping partners. Besides I do not see Maxwell and Tarot getting together exclusively at all because I feel they wouldn't match personality wise. Only way it would work is if it was a polyamorous relationship between all 4 of them.

I was thinking the current couples would stay together and Tarot just approaches Max because she just wants to talk to someone, and maybe get his take on the situation. I like the couples as they are now, though i wouldn't be opposed to a polyamorous relationship, because think a four characters work well together.

Peanut/Grape/Maxwell/Tarot are probably the only characters I can think of that I would EVER like to be in a four-way relationship.

Tarot probably thought Maxwell was annoying at first based on SAbrina's experiences. The recent arc, though, shows she is willing to listen to him, but whether it's because she had no choice (and probably doesn't want to embarass herself by taking advice from someone she probably found annoying) and because he's dating Grape might've finally slipped through her usual demeanor and confide into him for once.

I could see the two of them being more mature than Peanut and Grape and giving good advice to each other. While i could also see them dating in their relationship with Peanut and Grape doing the same thing, it wouldn't develop into something as simple as a better understanding of the way the two approach Peanut and Grape and growing more maturely because of it. :)

Well, Maxwell has grown up a bit too, so he might be a bit of a different cat than he was when he dated Sabrina.

I like that idea. Tarot doesn't seem to do friendships. Maybe the two could plan a surprise party for Grape and Peanut and it gets comically awry.... Just the planning could provide contrasts in their personalities.

Res comes to BG and hangs out with Peanut and Maxwell. Grape tries to deal with her own insecurity and jealousy about the situation.

Given the time frame, we should be seeing Res again sometime soon. He seems to pop up when his books are published, and given how important his last visit was to the creation of that book, I can't imagine that we're not going to see him.

Should be fun. I think Res might be one of my favorite secondary characters.

I'd like to see the four of them(Grape, Maxwell, Peanut, and Res) hang out together and maybe do some non-Pridelands stuff. Maybe Tarot could come along.

I would say that we would INDEED need to have Tarot come along with them because it wouldn't feel the same otherwise.

How about combining ideas a bit. Res meets up with the four of them, and somehow the topic of Marion comes up. This inspires a new story idea from Res who wants to fictionalize Marions story for his next book. Marion, for his part, is not on board with this. But Res becomes uncharacteristically enthusiastic in perusing the squirrel for information.

So an arc I expect just due to Rick always showing signs he likes these characters. Now that Thomas is definitely established to be in the zoo, were probably going to see Thomas show up around occasionally if Rick continues to mostly focus on them when we see the zoo

Figuratively speaking of course. I'd say multiple times, especially, if the students are anything like the some of my classmates at my alma mater.

In my experience, I find that some students just treat college like an extension of high school and screw around like they did back then. Luckily for me so far, that is the exception.

Very many new students entering college are completely unprepared for the intensity of college. They're expecting the "Thirteenth Grade" or " High School 2.0".

Maxwell, wanting to get a good Christmas gift for Grape, and not having any ideas of his own, asks Peanut and Sabrina for help. Grape tries to snoop around to find out what her gift is and comically fails each time she tries.

I have a completely original one that I want to share that isn't just commenting on other arcs!

We see what happened to Trinket (but some people seem to have a PRETTY good idea... ;) )

I would think if it was the crow that he would go try to get revenge on Maxwell rather than team up with a badge he doesn't know from Adam.

The scar on Fox's eye is likely staying with us. If that's true, this may actually bring Fox and Maxwell full circle into an arc in the future. He called Fox a coward when they were young and Maxwell was more gung-ho than Fox when he was young and even has a bite mark on his ear. I'm pretty sure the two would love to talk about their marks and personalities someday.

Maxwell tries out for the K-9s, Fox, serving as an instructor at the academy while his injury heals, takes an interest in Max, either because he sees some of himself in Max, or because seeing his fellow kidnapping victim trying out for the K-9s makes him proud, and when Max becomes a K-9 he (Fox)comes a mentor to the cat.

Not to mention maybe Max will get some legitimate muscles on him and in Fox's spare time of not being able to work, he can work out. =P

Why would that break your reality? Max going to the gym and Grape telling him afterword he didn't need to do that for her to love him already happened.
