A/N: Yay! Another fic! ((hears groans coming from readers)) tsk tsk. Making conclusions right before you've seen what I have to offer. What would your mothers say? Trust me, this time I have planned out EVERY chapter. I have the overall outline and each and every chapter overview written on 18 pages back to front in PEN.

"So what?" you say? "18 pages, big deal," you state? Well I say it's pretty good considering that they are OUTLINES... well...no...deeper than that, more like summaries. Short, condensed summaries. I have written everything out and make it out to be 15 chapters not including the prologue and epilogue. And if you still don't trust that I have it all and won't abandon this fic like I did my first one, then I will tell you that I plan to make the 14th and 15th chapters just a little longer than the rest. Considering that I have to fit in the climax and a few flashbacks in order to explain everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I hope...

Oh! before I forget. All my other fics are on hiatus until I get this one off my mind. In other words: compleated. But I promise I won't start anything new and leave this in the dust like my other fics. Okay? Okay!

In any case, I wont leave reading this exceedingly long author's note any longer. On with my fic!


What Comes After the Storm?

Prologue

Not everyone lives the dream of a fairy-tale life.

Most face troubles and challanges, each on a different basis.

Some face them on a daily basis, but each with a different intensity.

Few face challanges on a daily basis with great intensities, but each for a different length of time.

Even fewer face these trials on a daily basis, in intense conditions, for a long period of time.

These are the people who wish the lived fairy-tale lives, the kind where trouble is scarce and easily avoidable. Yet, a great many variables eliminate these wishes, and make them only dreams. Dreams that will forever be a thing of the imagination.

The protagonist in this story is of the few who live intense challanges on a daily basis. It has been this way for over a decade.


A/N: Hah. That was short. To make it up to you guys I'll put up a chapter longer than those I usually do. But because of the long author's note in the beginning, I won't keep you here any longer. ((hears cheering)). Inconsiderate bums... oh! Not you guys! Never you guys! I just have to say that the first chapter will be up very soon...at least when I get 3 reviews (my friend will review... I just know it. So it's only 2 reviews you have to give me!) sly grin. Just to let you know, the 1st chapter may be up as early as tomorrow... depending on the reviews I get.
