AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that this isn't a new story, it is the first one that I ever wrote, way back in January. However, I noticed that it had somehow vanished from its location, and I couldn't let that happen. This is one of my favorites, WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR being a close second. So there has been a minor revamp and this lovely little note added to the beginning.

Also, I have lost all of the reviews that I had originally, but luckily I always print them out and keep them with my hard copy. So I will do shout outs to those that I have, and if I get any new ones, I will reply by email if I can.

f U n N i E b O n E s 2K: Thank you so much. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I am glad that this touched you that much.

Aphiopsyduck: ^_^ *Takes a bow* When I was younger I used to hate being called cute, but now I will take it for the compliment that I know it is! Thank you!

Hawk Niag: *_* I believe in the quality not quantity rule, and you just renewed my faith in it. Thank you very much.

tanuki-chan: I don't want to make people cry, but it does tug at the heartstrings doesn't it? I wrote the darn thing *Muse clears his throat and looks at author threateningly* and it still gets to me. As for a sequel, I don't think so. This was meant to be a one-shot and that is how it will remain... unless you want to tackle it?

animeangelstar2000: I'll send you a new box of tissues! I love sad stories too... maybe because they always seem to work out in the end. At least in my little world (I am a sucker for happy endings!)

DracOnyx: For a review like this from one of my favorites is a real honor. I am glad that you enjoyed it!

Cataluna: Thank you! Another of my favorite authors... you have made my no nonsense muse cry. I don't think he is too happy about that, but I enjoy it! ^_~ As for the fool speech, that was the inspiration for the rest of the story.... that is what I came up with first.

s.kitten: Genius huh? *blushes modestly* Why does that make me feel like Wile E. Coyote.... My name is mud? But thank you so much.

Third-ReCaRnAtIoN: Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Angelstars: @_@ One of your favorite all time reads? I am speechless! Thank you so much....

Classic Cowboy: Dentists? I hate dentists! Can I pay some other kind of bill instead? Or maybe just send you one of my peanut-butter cups? They are a better cure than chicken soup!

Neko no Baka: Not a dark fic, but angsty, no doubt about it! Geez, I make a lot of people cry... I really hope that is a good thing.

perejil_tuk: More tears? You know, when I first wrote this, I told my editor that I didn't think it was angsty enough. Guess I was wrong....
