Author's Note: OK, before I start with this, I want to say that for this fic, you can more or less take everyone's current marital relations and toss them out the window. Maria's really gone. (Sorry Maria fans. She's not coming back in this one) Dixie's still around. She never left and she's not going to. This fic is a bit different. It was written mostly as a challenge to myself. I'm totally and completely not a Tad/Liza fan. Nothing against Tad/Liza fans, I just personally believe that Tad should be with Dixie. But alas, that is not how this story will play out. I have a feeling that Tad/Liza people are going to enjoy this one. As for Adam Chandler, I agree that he and Liza share a certain chemistry. However, you won't be seeing that chemistry in this story. I'm hoping that there will be a few people who are happy with my pairing of Brooke/Adam. With Maria out of the picture, I needed to find somebody for Edmund. this is why I turned to something I don't think I've ever read before, Edmund/Dixie. Although the pairings aren't what you're usually used to seeing in fics, I hope you can stick with this one. I'll do my best to keep you entertained.
