Author's note: Thanks for the reviews, all! I went back and read my Ben/Annie part and cringed. I have an odd habit of writing my stories at about 11PM and then publishing them while I'm half-asleep. I was trying out- what's it called again?- fluff. That's it. I was seeing if fluff cuts it. And it doesn't. Because it's really really easy just to make romance out of kissy kissy goo goo stuff. And that's not usually how I am. I like to take the hard road. Give them more of an emotional connection. So, if you liked that fluffy part- great! If you didn't, I apologize. My eyes kind of twitched when I read it and I was like "Did I actually write all that junk?"

But, anyway. This story is in no way affiliated with the 'Annie' Trilogy that I'm writing. Speaking of that, I may put this story on hold so I can have time to work on my second annexation in the 'Annie' series. But, don't give up hope! When all is said and done, I'll be back to work on this. Thanks, and I'm sorry for starting this out and immediately ending it.
