Author's Note

It all started with a dream. I'd go into detail, but every time I think about laying it all out, I hear the voice of Mr. Reese - my High School Pysch teach - saying that the moment you tell the dream to someone, it's get misinterpreted and you start to recognize it in the manner you tell it and not the manner you had it. Sound logical and I intend on following it.

But the basics of the dream - the parts involving MOTU characters - is presented in this story. I honestly have to believe that this story - this dream - derived from three things. The first is, obviously, He-Man and Masters of the Universe - more importantly, the episode entitled "Separation." The second would be the anime movie called "Spirited Away," though I'm not sure where the inspiration came from there, but I can't help but feel it some had an effect. The third and final inspiration comes from a young woman I spoke to on-line last night

This young woman is from Hawaii, where she is 4 months pregnant and is working until she gives birth. As she tells it, she has no one there that cares about her at all. This is her second pregnancy; the first one ended in a miscarriage.

How this affected me, I'm not so sure. But I think a lot the angst you'll see in this story comes from the brief, ten-minute conversation I had. Which, actually, brings up another point. This fanfic contains the most angst I've ever written in my entire life. It's not a very up-beat story, though I'm hoping things work out in the end.

I don't really know what'll happen, to be honest. Usually I have things plotted out pretty well, but with this little beast - I don't. Probably because the dream didn't have a real conclusion. I guess we'll just to see, huh?

"He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" and all things related are owned by Mattel and Hallmark. This story is based on the new "MOTU" cannon, created by MVP, 4H, Cartoon Network, and Images Comics. This is my first story featuring the new cannon, so bare with me.

Enjoy!
