Author's Notes
First off, I better explain a few things. In 1983, when RETURN OF THE JEDI first came out and the world heard the truth about Luke, my first thought was "What was Mrs. Skywalker like?" I wanted to know HER story. The same thing happened as QL progressed: What was Beth like? How did she win Al's heart? I had all sorts of ideas and stories, including one that would have put her back in Al's life without a leap (pre-MI). When the show went off the air, all I had left was the novels. It wasn't until around April 15, 1997, that I had full Internet access and the chance to look at other fan fiction. I wish to thank all of the authors, from the bottom of my heart, because some of your ideas have smoothed out wrinkles and writer's block in my story. For instance, I had the hardest time coming up with a reason "Georgia On My Mind" was their song (for my version of things) and reading Ms. Walton's short story "Little-Bit" gave me an idea (it's her idea, with some modifications).

This was originally written in 1997. It is posted several on my homepage as well as a one or two other fanfic archives.
THIS IS BASICALLY ABOUT BETH AND IT'S FOR THOSE OF US WHO WONDERED ABOUT HER. IF YOU HATE HER, SKIP IT ENTIRELY.
Quantum Leap belongs to Universal and Don Bellisario. My apologies to any real relatives of John Paul Jones. It was just a crazy idea. No money was ever made off of this piece of fanfic.
