[MLKnCookies]

I just wanted to say I love this contest idea and the award. VERY CREATIVE!!

Now on to my story....

May 21, 2008 was a sad day for all. MLKnCookies knew that time was coming to an end and she had to say her goodbyes to her 150 friends. As the clock approached 1am, MLKnCookies was wearing her favorite pins and her favorite outfit, purple superhero with purple mickey ears. She retired in her favorite room called, "Cookies Suite." It was the castle suite that was filled with all her memories of VMK_Lion including, old pictures from the past years, his favorite furniture, and even the fabulous room visit.
MLKnCookies is now saving the world from evil with her best friends, and still talks to many old VMK'ers while making new friends.

[Friez]

After VMK ended on May 21 of 2008, Friez retired back to her Mark Twain guest room. She sits on her Green Director's Chair and plots to take over the world. She finds an old photo album, which contains some of her best memories. She slowly put her bird hat on her head and thought of an idea- she should become a ninja jedi. She walked onto the stage and a lightsaber magically appeared from the sky and dropped into her hands. She practiced swinging the lightsaber around, and then realized she was not in proper uniform. She put on her black Haunted Mansion pants, Herbie shirt and shoes, and Musketeer hat. And at that moment, she was declared a Ninja Jedi.

And by the way, I just wanted to say that that banner for the contest is really cool!

[Bobray]

On May 21, 2008, Bobray was unsure where to go. So he looked at the Mad Hatter Hat on his head, and decided to go to the Mad Hatter Tea Party Guest Room. And he has been celebrating his 364 unbirthdays ever since. Oh, and his 1 actual birthday. I guess theres not much else to say, besides that he's having the time of his life! Tea, cake, the whole shabang! VMK may be closed, but he's keepin' the guest room alive. And I bet if VMK were to somehow magically come back, I'd find him sitting in that room, partyin' like it's May 23, 2005!

[BuzzBoy133]

On May 21, 2008, defre was scared. Wearing his bird hat, Thunder, a yellow plaid button-up, cowboy pants, and brown slip-ons, he walked to his first room, Prime, a Mad Hatter Tea Party room. It had been unchanged from his beta days, with all of its original furnishings. He sat down in a green teacup chair, and thought about his friends. He thought about the good times. He didn't want them to go to waste. Defre stood up, and put on a black plaid button-up shirt. He declared himself a secret agent, and would find a way to open VMK back up. He now is searching the web and Disney files to find a way to reopen the game.

Ehh, not much.

[VMKObsessed554]

When VMK closed on May 21st 2008, BestCookie_Crazy, was unsure of what might happen next. She was stunned of everything that had just happened. She looked down at her signature outfit, cowboy pants, cowboy boots, the purple tank top, and her maleficent hat. She decided to go to her house: My House, her evil maleficent fortress. She still thinks of VMK and her best moments on there. With her friends. Family. And everyone else she ever met. If VMK ever came back she would be the first to go onto their site. I could almost see her sitting in her house eating mushrooms and cakes....

[ToBeContinued]

When VMK closed...ToBeContinued was emotional for a while. He had lost his home...and was in huge debt. He lived in a homeless for almost five months. Finally, he came out. He decided to try living in VFK-land...but it didn't work out. He couldn't choose where to live next. He finally found a home on a place called VMKForum-ville. He still fights to this day to bring back his home. He can hear the music now...

[Sly cooper]

After VMK closed, slycooper has been sitting alone in his Haunted Mansion Conservatory Guest Room. He sat, frozen, since VMK closed. He has been contemplating how to bring VMK back. It's been more than a year. Nothing. When people walk by his guest room and walk in and see him, in the words of the band, Black Sabbath, they usually say, "We'll just pass him there. Why should we even care?" Legend has it, he turns invisible, and walks among the others. Nobody has seen him move, let alone leave the room. When somebody sits down next to him to talk to him, he remains silent. Just who is this enigma of a VMK character?

[EmmaatMk]

In the days after vmk closed, EmmaatMK decided to go to her skull rock guest room. After, she became a pirate with Jack Sparrow. They sailed the high seas, but soon after, EmmaatMK decided she just wanted to live at home. While she was there, she was lonely because vmk had closed so none of her friends could talk to her. But, she eventually made some new friends on VMKF. She hasn't spoken to any of her vmk friends since...

[farstar]

After VMK closed, Farstar retired to his Tron Guest Room and launched a campaign against barrel shifting. As the great man himself once said, “Shiftiness is a thing up with which I shall not put!”, although he never could figure out how to say “shiftiness” in VMK. What was in these barrels, cry your pardon, we shall never know. He eventually caught a very ASCII code and was de-rezed. Say sorry. In dreams, some have seen him in another dimension, battling evil and searching for true love.

[IceManFan]

After VMK closed, IceManFan returned to his Mark Twain Steamboat Guest Room. Ice remembered all the fun days he had in vmk. So he decided to become a Tron Jedi like he pretended to be back when VMK was still open. Ice just spent quiet relaxing days in his guest room and still does.

[Vivi]

Vienna, on May 21st was a sad player. Most of her friends had already left and her best friend princess_monique had decided to retire away in the far away lands of her Mark Twain Steamboat Guestroom, named 'Storage.' Vienna had tumbled back to her guest room 'The Final Stage'; this had changed from a Dark Alice Room to a Soda Shop and now it was a Castle Suite. Vienna tripped on her dark brown cowboy pants, being too long for her blue princess shoes, landed face first to the tiled floor. She fixed her Mad Hatter Hat and red dance top before taking her place next to her White Haunted Mansion Piano. Playing a couple of chords was how she spent her last days, and is how she spends the rest of her life. Now and then she stands on the balcony, towering over the lost kingdom; tears slipping every now and then.

Aww; how sad. xD
Got it right under the 150 word limit. XD

[KEBSD]

KEBSD, at least for now, is hard at work in his Empty Dark Ride room. As he has hopes of becoming an Imagineer for Disney, he is using his VMK items in the most creative ways possible to make enjoyable attractions for... well... him to enjoy. He someday hopes that his rides will be enjoyed by not only himself, but all VMK members when the magical land of VMK opens again.

[Ms.PrincessLucy]

Once VMK closed on May 21st of 2008, Ms.PrincessLucy retired to her Castle Suite Room. She was wearing her favorite outfit: A Princess Minnie Hat, Brown Cowboy Pants, Pink Princess Shoes, and Pink Princess Gloves. She planned to become Princess of VMK one day. She looked through her photo albums and found the greatest moments she'd ever had in VMK. Ms.PrincessLucy sure was going to miss VMK dearly. She loved talking with her friends and making new ones each day. She loved to play Pirates, Fireworks, Jungle Cruise, and the Haunted Mansion Game. Every now and then, I would cry, just looking out the window. Looking down below at how wonderful VMK was.
