A/N: This is a repost. The story has been worked over, steam rolled, red inked and re-edited to bring it up to a livable standard. When I first started writing, I didn’t have a beta or a clue as to what the hell I was supposed to be doing. I’ve learned. I’ve grown. And I’ve gotten LOTS of help. I’m also still learning. So… =0)

Thank You’s: Dirk for being my wonderful primary beta. Dennis for the moral support and the humor. Thumper for allowing her minion some alone time. Howard Russell for his spit and polish on the final touches. Lastly, Valyssia, who when this is all said and done, should probably get writing credit on it as well.
