FIC UPDATED ON THIS DATE: March 30, 2002
NEXT POSTING FOR CHAPTER: Sometime in April?? I don't know…hopefully sometime soon, though!!
A/N: Okay, I'm sick and really…well, sick. I feel totally lousy, but I hope to get better soon to write the next chapter. That's what it comes down to.

SPOILERS: Here's a small excerpt from the next chapter:

            "What do you mean that you won't let me compete? I'm the best you have out there!" yelled Joren.

            Coach Obafem shook his head sadly. "I wish I could do something about this, son, but the only reason this is happening is because of you. You wouldn't be in this mess if you had kept up your grades, but you didn't. So now not only you suffer, but the team suffers also. I'm sorry, Stone, but you brought this down on yourself."

ACKNOLEDGMENTS:

Thanks to the following people for reviewing…

ACK - LOL...your an interesting person, I can tell. Super-hot senior Domitan Masbolle, huh? Or Kel and Owen? Very interesting choices there. Can't make any promises on those coupling, but I hope you still keep on reading.

Arabella Skydancer - Nice name, I like the way it just seems to roll off your tongue. Anyway, thank you for reviewing and I'll continue on as fast as I can.

(Add on for 2nd review) LOL...I'm glad you liked the last chapter. You scared me for a moment there, I almost thought you were gonna say it sucked. That would've hurt my poor, poor ego. Thank you for reviewing.

arukara - LOL...yes it does have Joren in it. I mean what kind of story would it be without him in it? Thanks for reviewing!

Carina - Thanks for the review and I hope to keep it up!

claud - It may be a K/J so keep on reading...Thanks for reviewing!

Dani – Thanks for reading and reviewing! I'll try and update as soon and fast as possible.

dzjiofhadksf - I'm sorry that it is messed up. I actually didn't know that Kalasin was older than Roald, but it serves my fic that he is other than Kally. It is an AU fic, you know? Thanks for the review.
Galadriel Greenleaf - I like the name, it reminds me of the Lord of the Rings. Anyway, I really hope to get people from all the books, but I there won't be much of the Squire characters because I didn't buy the book yet and only read it once. Daine may be in my story, but I'm not so sure about her...thanks for the review, though.

IceWind - First off, I love your 'Aether Wind' fic. I keep on telling myself to leave a review, but I keep on forgetting. Typical me! Anyway, thanks for reviewing. Your review sure made my ego grow a few sizes, but don't worry, my brothers will deflate in a couple of moments. A Joren/Kel pairing is a definite possibility...LOL, Joren is supposed to sound hot in this story. I mean, I couldn't make him ugly could I?

iluvspiderandprinceharry - Thanks for the review. I love the name it's....interesting. Where did you get it? Anyway, K/R is on my list of prospects for coupling.

Kaori Knight - Neal, Joren, or Roald? Those are actually my exact prospects for a pairing with Kel. Very observant. Anyway, Cleon will come in the story sometime or another. He'll play a small part in my story.

kkatz - It is a rather interesting idea, isn't it? Kel/Neal pairing, huh? I'll see what I can do...it is a possibility. Thanks for the review.

kyria starr - I'll keep on trying to write more. Thanks for the review.

lady kithandra - I love AU fics too. Thank you for reviewing and keep on reading!

Lady Louisa - You're not that different. Never read a Cleon/Yuki fic before, though. It may become a Kel/Neal fic, so watch out. Thank you for reviewing.

Lanna – Thank you very much for the compliments. I swear my ego just gets bigger and bigger these days (lol…j/j). There are a lot more fight scenes in the future of the story and I do hope you stay with the story to read them all. I'm sure your fics' fight scenes are well done, unfortunately no author says they do anything well ('cuz we have to remain humble). Thanks for reviewing!

Larzdinn  - "Peace, love, and blueberry lollipops"...very interesting ending there, I really love that though. Thanks for the review and I agree with you about the "I can't choose" part. That's why I'm asking you people. Neal and Joren and Roald seem to be the top of the readers' choice. You were a lot of help and I hope you keep on reading!

(Adding on part for your 2nd review) I guess it was a pretty good chapter 'cause of the reviews. I did like the fact that Kel beat Joren...I wasn't too sure if I wanted to do that, but now I'm glad that I did.

Laurie Makensri - LOL...I do hope you enjoyed the next chapter. Thank you for the review.

Lelu - I'm sorry that I'm not doing a Kel/Cleon fic. It's not that I hate Cleon, it's just that I don't really want Kel and Cleon together as much as with other people. Anyway, thank you for being honest about your opinion.

L.J. - LOL...I hope you did like the next chapter and I'm sorry for how long it takes for me to get them out. Anyway, there are other options for Kel/? pairing...who would you choose if not Joren? Thanks for reviewing.

Mandi-girl - That's very cool that you go to a private school. Hope you like it there! I know that this 'private school' is different, but that's the way it's supposed to be. Anyway, thanks for reviewing and hope you keep on looking for the next chapter!

mikaela - Kel and Joren do seem to be a favorite here. Thank you for reviewing.

MoonPrincess - I'm glad you enjoy the fic. Thanks for reviewing!

night writer - As always, thanks for giving me a chance to write this story.

ooooga ooooooga - LOL...I'm guessing you want a Kel/Roald pairing? I'm sorry, but I'm kinda so on the uptake. Anyway, I may just do that pairing, but keep on reading and reviewing to find out! Thanks for reviewing.

Pinkpanther - Thank you for reviewing and I am considering a Kel/Joren pairing. Keep reading!

Princess Sanidaylene - Thank you for reviewing and I'm interested to know who you do like Kel to be paired with. Anyway, keep on reading and reviewing!

(Adding on for your 2nd review) I agree with you about the 'finally' part!

SailorPluto7 - I love AU fics, too! If I ever see a story with your name on it, I'll make sure to read it. Thank you for reviewing.

Squire Kali - I kinda want to go to CHS too. Big rooms, hot guys, who wouldn't wanna be there? I'm actually thinking about going towards K/J...who knows, though?

(For 2nd Review) I'm writing, I'm writing…thanks for reading!

taint passion - I'll try my best to keep on getting the chapters out there. Thanks for the review.

ToUchEd - Joren and Kel would make a pretty cool coupling and so would Kel and Roald. I'll see what I can do and thanks for the review.

TP FAN @))@ - Joren does sound mighty fine, doesn't he? Thanks for the review.

White Lady - LOL...A lot of people sure do want Kel and Joren. I must admit to there being Kel/Neal stories that are very mushy, maybe a bit too mushy. Anyway, thanks for the review!
