Thank you for bumping, Chadow! I appreciate the help, but it doesn't need to be bumped so much----I just want to quietly keep it out of the 51 page monster's jaws.
Yeah, this is one of the older threads around! It seems a bit unreal. I still remember posting it! Thank you very much for taking care of the older ones. A lot of them are very nostalgic.
And thanks terribly, Elvina! It makes me so happy when people come bump this old thing. It was one of the first things I wrote, and it's one of the few that, with some editing, I feel is really a good story. I'd give out capes for everyone if I could!
