Last year (or maybe the year before) there was an internet hoax on April 1: the announcement of a sequel to Pretty in Pink with the original actors playing their original roles.

Why somebody thought that would make a good April Fool's Day joke, I'm not sure. I don't even know how I feel about the idea of such a sequel, beyond the usual worry that a sequel would stink, as most sequels do.

Oddly enough, the story stuck in my head and kept cropping up today. You've got Andie, Duckie, and the two preppie guys, Blaine and whatever the James Spader character was called. I'll use Bob for the moment. The question is obviously: who did she end up with, how long did it last, and where is she now? And with whom?

I've got some ideas. You?

This is how fan fiction gets started, by the way.
