PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT UPDATE- because of a few blocked vids by YT, I have put those clips elsewhere - to see # 10 of this series, I have it on Vimeo - you will need to give me your username there to be added to the private list to see it. I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused: (playlist to catch up below)- ....I apologize for the huge delay- I won't go into long explanations, but a lot of problems occurred, including two huge things that made me shelve this for awhile - both times. It was days of work gone in a flash. I got discouraged because of what happened, but I would get PMs here, people contacting me at deviantART, etc, (even as recent as two weeks ago) asking me if I would please continue, and I made up my mind months ago to get this out for Christmas. :) There should be one more installment, maybe two, depending on how I decide to do this- but it won't be as difficult as this one, so shouldn't take as long. I'm hoping I can even get it up before the New Year - or for New Year's, since I'm starting work on it this week. :) That's my plan. I know 5 and a half min. isn't much for a clip, compared to what I've done before, but on much of this, 5 seconds worth of run time took 5 hours or more to prepare, because of all the special things I did to make it look like it all "fit" as a movie- and I don't have a program with moving masks (yet- I'm still looking)- so it was a huge challenge. But one I gladly took on. Also finding some much needed clips to tell the story took a while - for this section I wanted it as close to the written chapter as possible- since this is one of the most pivotal acts, if not THE most pivotal and emotional act of the entire story- and thank God I succeeded in getting it almost word for word as I wrote it and posted it at fanfiction! lol Anyway, enjoy - and Merry Christmas! :D -

![(Dont) Say Goodbye (John ♥ Sam) - my tribute to McBam - GH
PLEASE READ: (lyrics below) This is my tribute to a well loved couple who entertained me, made me smile, made me cry, and made me burn ;-)...their all-around chemistry was what made me want to watch the show, and though ME is coming back, it wont be as John because of legal issues. This tribute is John & Sams relationship encapsulated- I used a clip from every scene (not meaning episode) that theyve been in for the full year- this shows what McBam meant to me and to each other. They could make one another laugh and smile when their lives were full of misery, all the while their connection grew stronger and their desire for each other grew beyond friendship, to be with one another, as did their trust. If not for PP, I have no doubt that RC would have given us McBam. And while Im eager to see KeMO w/ ME in a new pairing, to see what that story will be (hoping he will pair them)- Ill never forget McBam. Heres some of the symbolism: overlays- glimpses of them remembering the past. Their hug at door shows him leaving first time AND the last, and her reaction to that (what it would have been) since we didnt get to see it on the show (again, because Im not sure they can even say his name). At one set of lyrics maybe its not the end for you and I- I purposely put a non GH What If kiss clip there, to show that maybe a new relationship is coming for this pairing (ME & KeMO). I kept their connection a mystery, like the show did (because their hands got tied from doing what I think would have happened). Ill leave the rest of symbolism for viewer to decide. ;-) ...Also, if any of you vid Calivia or McBam (in HD or w/ full screen- using quality clips) or might vid the new couple they become (crossing fingers they do)- would you be interested in joining a collab group Im thinking of starting for KeMO & ME pairings? Caleb & Livvie (and Caleb & Tess) are still popular, I have a feeling McBam will remain that way, at least for awhile- and the new couple (assuming they make them a pairing), with no PP mess to hamper it, along with KeMOs & MEs chemistry behind it - is sure to rock. PM me if youre interested. :) This is still in early planning stages- if I even do it, depending on what response I get (dont care what editing program you use- just care about the quality of clips and that they are either HD or full screen with correct ratio {same for Calivia - if you dont know how to do this for non HD clips, contact me})...clips credit: PartyGirls04 and SimplyGH
some of dialogue was mumbled (her upset) and hard to hear no matter what I did with filters- lol. Here are those instances:
Sam: ...I chose to be close to you and I told anyone and everyone that would listen to me that we were just friends, but ...it was more than that.
Sam: It still doesnt explain...the connection that we feel...
Say Goodbye sung by Skillet
Things are changing
It seems strange and
I need to figure this out
Youve got your life
I got mine
But youre all I cared about
Yesterday we were laughing
Today Im left here asking
Where has all the time gone now
Im left alone somehow
Growing up and getting older
I dont want to believe its over
[Chorus:]
Dont say goodbye
Cause I dont wanna hear those words tonight
Cause maybe its not the end for you and I
And although we knew
This time would come for me and you
Dont say anything tonight
If youre gonna say goodbye
Do you remember
In December
How we swore wed never change
Even though youre leaving
That our feelings
Would always stay the same
I wish we could be laughing
Instead Im standing here asking
Do we have to end this now
Can we make it last somehow
We both know what weve gotta say, not today
Cause I dont wanna leave this way
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
And if its over
It hurts but Im giving you my word
I hope that youre always
Happy like we were
Happy like we were
[Chorus]
[Altro:]
Yesterday we were laughing (if youre gonna say goodbye)
Today Im left here asking (if youre gonna say goodbye)
And although we knew this time would come for me and you
Dont say anything tonight
If youre gonna say goodbye
