A/N Part 1: Hey, her'es the next chapter. I'm sorry that I'm updating so late today, but I'm going to childishly blame FanFiction for delaying my update by cauisng me to get obsessed with the very well written Hunger Games, and Pride & Prejudice stories I was reading. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this, there is some nice family moments, and another rather lame pun, but this time it's Xavier saying it, so it's still very adorable.

Make sure to read my A/N Part 2 at the end of the story beacsue I have somehting important to discuss with my readers. On to the story!

Scheduling

"Victoire, how much do I have to pay you to get you to actually use your table manners?"

Victoire looked up from the Sheppard's pie she had been shovelling into her mouth and rolled her eyes at Xavier Wood. She swallowed and placed a wounded expression on her face. One of her hands came up clutch her chest, "Xavier! You need to stop trying to change me. Why can't you love me the way I am?"

Xavier rolled his eyes at her, "Victoire you really need to stop talking like that or people are going to start to think that there's something going on between us."

Beside Victoire, Ally chocked on her pumpkin juice. Victoire calmly thumped her back until she could breathe, "Merlin you two, keep your voices down. No wonder Skeeter keeps getting 'insider's information' on your relationship."

Xavier's face turned red and he looked down at his half-eaten plate of food. Victoire grabbed her fork and used it to push some potatoes around her plate. Both of them were remembering the news article from that morning. It had showed a picture of the two of them walking to Potions class together a few days ago, laughing, smiling, talking, and, horribly enough, walking arm in arm. Victoire wanted to palm her face into her hand when she saw the picture. She and Xavier had been harassing Kyle and Sandra by mimicking their 'mushy-gushy' hand holding motions. Their best friends had thought that it was funny at the time, but when they read the newspaper today, they were full of sympathy for Victoire and Xavier.

It was dinnertime right now, but they had spent the last two hours at Quidditch practice, and the one before that in Professor McGonagall's office. Kingsley had seen the paper and had immediately flooed to Hogwarts to talk to Harry and Ron about it. It wasn't so much what the picture was showing, as where the picture was taken, that angered Kingsley. He was upset that Skeeter had somehow gotten a picture of Victoire in the Castle; she wasn't supposed to be allowed in except for specific press conferences. Kingsley had met with McGonagall, who had requested that Victoire and Xavier to come to her office and speak with them. Kingsley had asked them if they had seen anything odd that day, he was thinking that she might be using her animagus form to somehow get the information and pictures she wanted. They had told Kingsley that they hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary, and then they had been excused because they were already fifteen minutes late for practice. Victoire had caused them to be even tardier, because on their way to the change rooms, she had gotten a glimpse of bright turquoise blue hair and had ran off to find it. Xavier had stood an awkward ten paces away while Victoire talked to Teddy about the article about them in the news that morning. Ted had been a good sport about it, saying that he didn't actually believe the things that the article was insinuating, but Xavier could tell from the sound of his voice that he was getting tired of his girlfriend being accused of dating someone else.

It's not that I blame him, I mean I'd feel exactly the same way if I was in his place with . . . No. Don't even go there Xavier you have too much to think about now than to spend your time mooning over a girl . . . even if she is really beautiful and smart, and funny, and sweet, and a good Quidditch player, and even though she has really shiny hair and the prettiest eyes . . . Whoa, hold up there Wood. We don't have time to think about this, I we need to go to Quidditch practice and do a damn good job and maybe our skills will impress her enough that we won't have to make the first move . . . sigh . . . one step at a time.

At that point, in Xavier's inner monologue, he decided to stop before his thoughts totally went away with him. He walked towards Ted and Victoire, apologized for interrupting, and practically dragged her away. By the time, Victoire and Xavier had gotten changed and gotten down to the Quidditch pitch they were more than half an hour late for practice. They both apologized profusely, but were rather proud to see that Ally had taken charge while they were gone and at least had the rest of the team doing laps and basic exercises. Because they were late, Victoire and Xavier had to keep the team back for an extra half hour to get everything covered that they needed to. Time was ticking. Their first Quidditch game (which would be against Slytherin) was scheduled for the next Saturday. Because of a later practice, they ended up coming into dinner late; the majority of the students were already gone from the Great Hall. Sandra, Kyle, and Chris had waited for their friends to come from Quidditch practice and were sitting with them while they ate.

They continued to eat in silence. Victoire was almost done when she saw a tall redhead walking towards her.

"Hi Baxter!" Victoire called happily to her cousin.

"Hi Baxter," Ally repeated in the same happy tone as her elder cousin.

The third-year Hufflepuff smiled and sat down on the bench in-between his two cousins.

"Hi Vic. Hi Ally."

"What's up?" Victoire asked, polishing off the last of her desert. She hadn't talked to Baxter since before Ally had told her that he was upset about her not telling him about her relationship with Teddy.

Baxter shrugged, not looking directly in Victoire's face. When he spoke he didn't sound very excited, but he didn't sound very infuriated with her either, "Not much. I just wanted to know if you were excited for the First Task of the Tournament."

Victoire snorted, "Yeah so excited, they haven't even told us when it's going to be, or what we're going to have to do. Yet I've spent all this time practicing with Harry and Ron, stuff that I already know."

Baxter nodded absently, but then froze. He suddenly looked up at Victoire, an odd expression on his face, "Vic . . . weren't you listening to McGonagall at the beginning of dinner?"

"No, I wasn't here at the beginning of dinner. We were at Quidditch practice."

"But nobody else told you?"

Victoire looked at Sandra, Kyle, and Chris, they wouldn't meet her eye, "Told me what?"

Baxter looked surprised, "Well, I guess I'm going to be the one to tell you this then . . . McGonagall announced that the first Tri-Wizard task would be on Saturday November the third."

Victoire's mouth popped open and her eyes went wide. She looked like a deer in headlights, "What! But-but that's the day of our Quidditch game against Slytherin-"

Baxter shrugged, "That's the date the Minister set . . . there was something else about another press conference too, I think . . . but McGonagall said that she was going to discuss that directly with the Champions at their meeting after dinner."

"What! When after dinner?"

"Um," he looked down at his watch, "I'd say now."

Victoire jumped up and sent one more 'why-didn't-you-tell-me-this-earlier' look at her friends. Before rushing out of the Great Hall.

"Nice to see that you've made it Miss Weasley," Professor McGonagall said as Victoire walked into the room, fifteen minutes late.

"I'm so sorry Professor McGonagall, Quidditch practice went late and then Baxter was the first and only one to tell me about this meeting, and then I had to run here . . ."

Professor McGonagall waved off Victoire's apology and told her to sit down in the open chair between Konstantin and Noëlle. She sat down facing the other people in the room; Professor Longbottom, Headmaster Jaroslov, Madame Maxine, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Percy Weasley and Minister Flannery.

"Miss Weasley, are you aware of what is going on in the terms of the Tournament?"

"I think so. I was told that the first task would be taking place next Saturday, is that correct?"

Minister Flannery answered, "Yes that is correct, now the first task and the two after it will-"

"But there can't be a task next Saturday."

Flannery glared at Victoire for interrupting him. "And why is that Miss Weasley?" He spat out through gritted teeth.

"Because the first Quidditch match of the season is next Saturday. Gryffindor verses Slytherin."

Flannery's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head, "A Quidditch match. We can't have the first task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament because there's going to be a Quidditch match."

"Glad you understand," Victoire said as she crossed her arms over her chest, a challenging expression on her face.

Flannery's face was turning red. McGonagall interrupted before he could say something that he would really regret. She had to hand it to Victoire though; she'd really learnt how to push his buttons.

"I've been working on that Miss Weasley. And if you and Mr Knott are amendable, I'd like to place the Quidditch game for Friday afternoon, the day before your task. But if you think that won't be good for you, we could always push it back."

Victoire thought for a minute. She would be rather tired from the Quidditch match the day before the first task, but if they pushed the game back, any further the rest of the Quidditch schedule would be messed up. And it wasn't fair to the other teams for her to screw up the schedule for them.

Victoire sighed, it was time to take one for the team, "That seems fine. I'll just have to try to catch the snitch as soon as possible."

McGonagall's thin lips turned up into a tiny, tiny, smile, "Alright then. You were saying Minister Flannery?"

Flannery cleared his throat rather pompously, "As I was saying before I was interrupted," he shot an angry look at Victoire, "the first task, along with the other two afterward, will follow a certain theme."

"A theeme?" Noëlle asked confused.

"Yes, each task will have a theme based on the four elements. Air, water, fire, and earth-"

"But vere are only vree tasks," Konstantin said puzzled.

Flannery sighed and shot Victoire another angry glance. He was tired of people interrupting him and he blamed her for the actions of her fellow champions, as if she was the one to corrupt them, "Yes that is what the challenge is. You won't know what the theme is until the day of the task. And one theme will never be used. So practice your spells wisely and use your time carefully."

It took a great amount of effort for Victoire to abstain from rolling her eyes; even so, her next words come out rather bitingly, "So why did you even bother telling us that there is going to be a theme if you're not going to tell us what the theme is?"

Flannery glared at her, "Because Miss Weasley, I thought one hint, no matter how broad, would be better than nothing."

Victoire mumbled something under her breath about this being a 'bloody-waste-of-time". Professor Longbottom and Kingsley smirked, while Flannery frowned at her.

"Deed you not zay zomething about anozzer prezz conferenze?" Noëlle asked, bringing the meeting back on track.

"Yes, well, I thought that it would be nice to give the press a chance to go around and talk to the champions in a calm and controlled setting, you know somewhere where they can really talk to you without you all feeling stressed or like you're being put on display. But I also wanted to arrange something where all of you can meet and speak with some of the important people from the ministry. Considering all this plus the short amount of time we have to do it all in, I've decided on a party!" Flannery said, smiling winningly at the champions (Noëlle and Konstantin in particular seeing as he was still trying to win them over).

"Huh?" Victoire asked. Voicing the confusion all three of the champions were feeling.

Flannery sighed, "The Tournament took and will take, a lot of preparation, organization, and . . . well money. Of course, the whole Ministry helped, but there are a special few people who have played a large part in it, and who should be thanked properly. So, there will be a party, here at Hogwarts, as a thank-you for all of them. Your families will also be invited, and this will also give the press a good chance to see what you all are really like as you mix and mingle. Get some real information on you."

Victoire thought her eyes were going to pop right out of her head. Yeah right, we won't be on display. Her head started to spin just thinking about the attention she'd draw at a party like that. She tried to focus her attention on listening to what was going on in the room around her, hoping that it would stop spinning.

Noëlle's eyes were sparkling with the news; it seemed she likes parties.

"Ven vill vis be?" Konstantin asked. Victoire could tell by the sound of his voice that he wasn't very excited for it either.

Flannery smiled, "Well, we need to do it before the first task, but we can't just pick any day. So I've arranged it for Hallowe'en night."

"It's not a costume party is it?" Victoire asked.

Flannery's face pinched. Apparently, he heard the thing in Victoire's voice that indicated that she might just get sick. "No, that would just be juvenile and immature."

Victoire sighed in relief.

Kingsley couldn't hide his smirk. Percy had smiled also, but then he saw the look on his niece's face.

"Victoire . . . are you alright?"

Victoire looked at her uncle's concerned face, but couldn't stay fixed on it, "I will be when the room stops spinning."

Kingsley and Percy shared a worried look with Professor McGonagall, "Victoire . . . the room's not moving."

"I know," she said before closing her eyes and bringing her hands up to clench around her head.

"Miss Weasley?" Flannery asked. He was more concerned about what it would look like if one of his champions got sick than if she was actually okay or not.

Victoire keep her eyes closed and took a few deep breaths, "Do I have to be there Minister Flannery?"

"Are you a champion Miss Weasley?"

"Yes."

"Then yes you have to be there."

"But-"

"No buts. You will attend the party and that is final."

Victoire took one more deep breath and looked up. The room was finally standing still, and Minister Flannery's face was an angry red. "Any more questions?" he huffed out.

Everyone else in the room shook their heads.

"Then I'll be leaving." Flannery walked over to McGonagall's large fireplace and flooed out. Silently, one by one, Noëlle and Konstantin left with their respective Headmaster's and Mistress'. Victoire stayed seated. She wasn't sure if her legs would be able to support her.

"Vic . . ." Percy said as he walked closer to her. He kneeled down next to her to look her in the face. Percy might not have been her favourite uncle, but he does care about his family.

"Vic. Everything is going to be okay. You're not going to be alone."

"No of course not," Victoire said somewhat hysterically, "there will be a room full of people waiting for me to do something stupid so they can gossip about it later."

"No, that's not what I meant. Your Mom will be there, and your Dad, Dominique and Louis, Harry and Ginny, James and Al will be invited, although if Ginny and Harry allow them to come will be something else, Ron and Hermione, Rose, because she's already here, myself and Aunt Audrey, Lucy, Molly and Baxter will all be invited. Aunt Angelina and Uncle George, and Ally and Fred. Kingsley will be there. Everything will be okay. You won't be alone."

"Ally will be invited?" Victoire asked quietly.

"Yes, pretty much our whole family has been invited. And there will be other Hogwarts students, anybody who's parents have been invited will get an invitation. It won't just be you, Konstantin, Noëlle and a whole bunch of middle-aged Ministry fuddy-duddies."

Victoire smiled, but it faltered a little when she looked at Kingsley, "Are you really going to be there or are you going to be too busy organizing all of the Aurors?"

Kingsley grinned, "You know me well Princess. But no. I'm actually going to delegate all of the preparations to another Auror task force, so that I can actually enjoy this party."

Victoire raised an eyebrow. Kingsley's grin widened and he move down beside her and kissed her forehead, "Try to have fun with this. It's your big night to have some fun before your first Quidditch game and your first task. Okay?"

Victoire nodded.

"Good. You should get back to your Common Room." Kingsley said.

Victoire smiled, hugged her godfather, and uncle goodbye, and pranced out of the room.

"Friday . . . our Quidditch match is on a Friday!" Xavier yelled.

"Shhh!" Ally said from beside him as she hit him on the arm, "Xavier, do you want Madam Pince to throw us out?"

Victoire looked around quickly for said librarian and let out a sigh of relief to see that she was nowhere in sight. Victoire and her friends had come to the library to do some homework because the Common Room had gotten too loud. It was the day after Minister Flannery had informed the champions of the upcoming Halloween party and task. Victoire had spent the majority of the day trying to find the courage to tell Xavier about the change. In hindsight, she should have known that her plan, to tell him in the library in the hope that he'd at least keep his anger down to a whispered level, was too much to hope for.

"Yes Xavier. The Quidditch match was moved to Friday because Saturday is the first Tri-Wizard task. And in case you didn't realize, I have to do both. The game is going to stay on Friday unless you can come up with a way for me to be in two places at once," Victoire said mockingly.

"Time-turner?" Xavier asked more hopeful than realistic.

Victoire rolled her ocean-blue eyes. The Ministry had been working on re-creating time-turners after all of them were lost in the last war. They had come out with some new, rather good prototypes, but none of them were ready for practical use yet.

"Great idea imbecile."

Xavier glared at her and Ally sighed. She was thankful that there was a solid piece of wood in the form of a table in between the two Heads.

Victoire's face softened up, "I did it because if I didn't they would have had to re-scheduled it even later and all the other games would be messed up too. This was the best course of action. If it makes you feel any better, I promise to catch the snitch as soon as possible on Friday so that it lessens the chance of us losing."

Xavier's lips twitched, "Okay. But if we lose, I swear, the first task will be nothing compared to what I'll do to you."

"Oh I'm so scared."

Ally sighed again and looked down at the Transfiguration homework she was working on. At least they weren't at each other's throats anymore.

"Vic . . . what's the incantation to conjure a flock of birds?"

"Avis."

"Gesundheit."

Victoire and Ally looked up at Xavier and gave him matching blank looks. Xavier exhale noisily and looked down at his own homework while mumbling angrily, 'that's the last time I try to make a joke'. They worked quietly for a few minutes before Ally spoke again, "Well Xavier, maybe now your parents will be able to make it to the Quidditch game if it's on Friday."

Xavier dropped his quill, and distractedly ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair, "Yeah, maybe . . ."

"What's this about Katie and Oliver?" Victoire asked brightly looking up from her research book -Anthology of Eighteenth Century Charms. She absolutely loves Xavier's parents. Sometimes, (when Victoire and Xavier are in a really intense argument), she thinks that they may be one of the only reasons why she puts up with him.

"Xavier sent them a letter a little while ago telling them when our first game was but they said that they wouldn't be able to make it 'cause it was a Saturday and that Oliver had an away game. Maybe now they'll have time because it's on a Friday," Ally supplied for Victoire.

"Oh, that'd be nice . . . wouldn't it Xavier?" Victoire asked.

Xavier had buried his head back into his textbook -Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century. They could see the slight rise and fall of his head behind the book, which indicated a nodding motion. Ally looked at him worriedly, but didn't know what to say. She could almost flog herself. I shouldn't have brought that up. Now I've gone and upset him. I should have remembered that Oliver and Katie coming to see him would be more than just his parents dropping by for a visit. If they came they'd no doubt bring a few Quidditch scouts with them, and then Xavier would be feeling even more stressed than he usually does about a game. Stupid move Ally.

"Merlin's pants. Remind me to never, ever, come to the library with you lot again," Chris said coming up behind Victoire and falling into the seat next to her. His face was flushed and he was breathing heavily, but Victoire didn't think that it had anything to do with the exertion of carrying the half-a-dozen odd hardcover books in his arms.

"What are you babbling about Chris?" Victoire asked puzzled.

He gave her a dark look, "Nothing, just don't go into the Goblin Poetry Section."

Xavier, who had come out of hiding from behind his book with the sound of Chris' arrival, let out a chuckle, "Thanks for the tip. I was just about to go there."

Chris scowled at him. Ally looked across to Chris still confused.

"Why not?" she asked oh-so-innocently.

Chris' hands came up to rub his temples, as if he was getting a headache, "It's just . . . rather awkward to walk down an aisle and find two of your friends trying to eat each others' faces."

Xavier's face puckered, "Sandra and Kyle?"

Chris nodded, "I really don't understand it either. There are plenty of other places they can snog. Does it have to be in the middle of the library?"

Victoire smirked superiorly, "Of course there may be better places. But it's our last year; they probably want to get to all the places."

"All the places?" Chris asked confused.

Victoire nodded; holding her giggles behind her poker face, "Yes, all the places. Every girl has a list of places she'd like to be snogged in. Ballrooms, teashops, broom closets, in a library behind a shelf of musty old books. You know that kinda stuff."

It was a testament to Victoire's prowess with a poker face, that Xavier and Chris were looking at her like they actually didn't know if she was telling the truth or not.

"Ballrooms and teashops I understand. Broom closets even, but in a library?" Chris asked.

"Oh yes," Victoire said, a grin threatening to take over her face, "It's sort of mysterious and a little thrilling and wild too, seeing how you could get caught any minute."

"Really? So getting a snog in the library is on every girl's wish list?" Xavier asked with extreme sarcasm. It seems someone was able to see through her poker face.

"Yes, isn't that right Ally?" Victoire asked turning to her cousin.

Ally -who had gone back to her essay and was only slightly listening to their conversation- said, "Hmm, yeah, sure. Whatever you say Vic."

Victoire gave Xavier a specific look and then looked at Ally, "Maybe you should get on that one Xavier."

Xavier's face turned red while he gave Victoire a look that said 'Shut-the-hell-up'.

"Get on what? Snogging a girl in the library?" Chris asked.

Victoire nodded, "Yup."

Xavier's complexion was slowly turning back to normal as he stood up, he held out his hand to Victoire. He smiled wickedly, "Want to go visit the Divination Research and Textbook Section Vic?"

Victoire stuck her tongue out, "Eww. No," she put on an affronted air, "That's where Dominique goes when she wants to snog her boyfriends."

"What was that about snogging Vic?"

Victoire turned around in time to see her brother Louis and Xavier's sister Cecilia walking over to their table. Xavier sat back down in his seat while Victoire explained.

"Nothing. Xavier was just trying to convince me to skive off doing my charms homework to go snog him behind some old books."

Victoire words brought about a cornucopia of reactions from the group. Xavier rolled his eyes at her. Chris' head moved back and forth rapidly as he studied both Heads (he had become a little confused with the turn of the conversation and still wasn't sure if they were serious or not). Louis was looking at Victoire with an oddly protective expression (he knew that they were just joking but the idea of a guy snogging his sister -even an older sister- brought out a protective streak he didn't know he had). Ally was smirking and barely holding in a laugh as she watched Louis' face. And Cecilia was regarding Victoire with a whimsical look.

Louis was the first to speak, "It's no wonder the entire Wizarding population thinks you two are dating when you guys act like this."

Victoire stuck her tongue out at her brother.

Cecilia sighed heavily, "You shouldn't tease me like that Victoire. I've been waiting forever, for Xavier to find a nice girl to snog. I do want to be an Aunt some day."

Xavier's face turned red, "Cee-Cee, you wouldn't really want me to date Victoire . . . would you?"

She shrugged, "No, she could do way better than you. But she would be a great sister-in-law."

Xavier frowned but Victoire burst into a huge fit of giggles. Everybody looked at her like she'd lost her mind.

"Vic . . ."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Her friends rolled their eyes, silently communicating with each other that they were worried that all the stress of the Tournament was making her lose her mind.

"Would you bloody Gryffindors shut the hell up?"

Colton Knott came stalking out from behind the closest bookshelf. His 'Gryffindor red' face was doing a good job of clashing with his Slytherin green robes.

Victoire plastered an angelic smile onto her face, "Why hello Colton. Fancy seeing you here."

Knott snorted derisively, "It's the library Weasley it's open to everyone, not just the O.C.D. Ravenclaws."

Victoire nodded seriously, "I know. I just didn't think you knew where it was. But good for you, it only took you six and a half years to figure it out."

Knott rolled his eyes, "And imagine, I get to spend the greater part of next week stuck with you and your charming personality."

Victoire's poker face failed her that time, "What in the name of Merlin's pants are you talking about Knott?"

Colton smirked and leaned casually against the closest bookshelf, "Well Weasley, not only do we get to play Quidditch together next Friday, but we get to spend Halloween together too. At the party Minister Flannery is throwing."

Victoire glared at him, "You got invited? How?"

Colton gave her a bright, slimy smile, "The Tournament takes a lot of money to put on. Money that comes from very generous donors. And who in the Wizarding world has that kind of money to throw around? The ancient pureblood families of course. My parents were approached months ago about giving a donation of money. This party is for you champions to thank all of us."

Victoire was fuming silently, "They were approached months ago?"

"Yes," he smirked even larger, "And I can't wait for the party, for you to come up to me and my parents and personally thank us for all we've done."

"There's only one problem with your little scenario Knott, if I were to do that, I'd probably end up vomiting all over you."

"We shall see Victoire, we shall see," Colton said before turning around.

Victoire stared at his back as he walked away. He can't be serious about that public thank-you . . . can he?

First, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'd love to hear any of your thoughts.

Second, thankyou to everyone who has reviewed, or favourited and submitted! (I didn't have time to answer each review I got for the last chapter separately so stay tuned for the end for those who did review for answers and more personal thanks)

A/N Part 2 (Important!): Okay, so I usually like to give you guys all a heads up on what my next chapter will hold. So I thought it would be nice of me to forewarn you all, that my next chapter will have a cliff hanger (Pauses for everyone to let ut their complains/and/or/grumbles) Anyway, I know that some of you absolutely abhor cliffies, but I also know that some people actually like the suspense. I'm not going to change my next chapter because I had to end it where I could because of the length, and other reasons. But an interesting thought came to me when I thought of the terrible idea of making all of you lovely readers wait a week for the answering chapter to the next cliffie, so I came up with a plan.

I decided that there are two courses of action I could take, I'll post both options down below, with all of the pros and cons for each, and then everyone can leave a review and tell me which plan they think I should go with. The plan with the most votes wins. So here are my plans:

Plan A: I could keep my regular updating schedual. Update the next chapter (with the cliffie in a week) and then update the answering chapter a week after that.

Pro of plan A: In the end you will get both chapters faster than with plan B (see below).

Con of plan A: You have to wait a whole week to see what happens next after the cliffie (And I'm not going to lie, it's a really bad cliff hanger. Really bad.)

Plan B: You will have to wait longer than a week for my next update with the cliffie (maybe a week and a half or maybe close to two). But I will post the chapter that answers the ciffie the next day, or the day after.

Pro of Plan B: You only have to wait a day or two for the answer to the cliffie (again, it's a bad one).

Con of Plan B: You have to wait a little longer than usual for my next update and because I'm giving you two at once, you'll have to wait a little more than a week for the next chapter after that.

So, in summary. Plan A will give you both chapters in a shorter time in the end. Plan B will give you both chapters practically at once and lessen the time you have to sit around and wonder what on Earth is going to happen next. So please leave a review with the Plan you want if you wnat to have a say.

Thanks again to all my reviewers!
