Ripp Grunt is no longer the family black sheep. He is no longer a low-paid gas station attendant, and he is no longer living with the General, but he still visits from time to time.

He is now 20 years old. He is a talented pianist, and music composer. He writes songs especially for the piano and has composed over 35 songs so far...

Fame also chased Ripp's talent. His beautiful music as he pressed on the wooden keys on the instrument mesmerized the public. But still, Ripp loved the quiet life. He preferred that. He had suffered long enough of being mistreated, bullied and abused. And fame basically fueled the tormenting. It was no help in healing him.

He was no longer in love with Ophelia. She had been going steady already with Johnny Smith. Ripp didn't mind that, but he didn't want Ophelia to be seen as a two-timer either--and a sacrifice was made. Even then, the two are friends. Now, Ripp is going steady with Penelope Van Dart, the rich daughter of Tycoon André Van Dart. Penelope, or known as "Penz" was also fascinated by music. She played piano, but for a hobby only, Ripp, in the other hand, had to make a living out of it. But it wasn't money and the family history that brought them together, it was the love for music. Penz loved Ripp
for the sound of the piano, Ripp the same. But she was in love with him first. Ripp loved her too, she was good-natured just like Ophelia, and was not one of those sassy and spoiled rich girls he'd seen in teen movies.

Ripp spends most of his time now writing music, and playing the piano. He also does violin. His house, located at the outskirts of Strangetown, was surrounded by green. The house itself was extremely high on environmental standards, and a solar dish, created by Ripp himself, gave the house it's electricity, independent from the nuclear power plants. He drove an algae fueled Porsche, which he brewed his own algae fuel. Both healthy for the environment, as well as independent from the pumps, where Ripp had wasted his life before. Been there, done that..

Back at the house where his family lived, the General, Buzz Grunt, is still the General. But after Ripp had moved from the house, the General was eager to change, just to have Ripp to finally forgive him. He loosen things up. He no longer had anyone on the obstacle course, even if it still remains.

The general has also adopted 2 kids, Claire and Ellie. With Tank no longer having any desire to join the military, Buzz figured out that adopting would benefit both sides. Giving orphans a home, as well as being able to reach their dreams. Both girls somewhat had an interest to join the military. However, they weren't treated the same way as his sons, only discipline was enforced.

Tank was somewhat lost in limbo, not knowing what to do with his life. He no longer had interest to join the military. He was brainwashed for his whole life, he lied to himself also. He lied that he wanted to become a general, in truth, he has no clue of who he is.

Buck, now almost in his teen years, was trying to discover himself also. Musical skills also applied in him, just like Ripp. He practiced and even had lessons from his talented brother, eager to make a good life out of himself. Ripp and Buck still saw each other a lot. They spent quality time with both fun and music.

All that is said for Ripp: he was free now. Which is what his loving, but deceased mother, had always wanted him to be...

Lyla Grunt would be very proud of him now...
