1Sigh... I was pretty sure I wouldn't get comments on my last chapter, and told myself, La, make peace with your ego and abandon this.

And then, this morning, I open my computer and Lo! A review asking me to keep writing. Thanks, Karina, for the useful comments. Lotor and Allura will have their moment too. He avoids her for a reason! He's not sure he would be able to resist jumping her! He stays as far as he can. Its hard... He's not used at all not to just grab what he wants. But they will have a very serious talk.

Since someone asked me to, I'll guess I'll have to continue the story.

But, you do realise you've just given me a lot of work? And Real Life is about to get pretty hectic, too.

I have at least 8 readers, counting by the number of countries in my traffic statistics. I even got one from Trinidad! Only a couple of clics though, I think he or she didn't come back. Still, I was pretty excited, here in Quebec we are about to have our first snowstorm of the year, it's fun to imagine someone reading my story in the warm sun, far, far away.

People from Australia too, they are at the beginning of summer! Its on the other side of the earth! :-) Italy (got a half Italian cousin who calls me La teribile La (not sure of the spelling), Singapore, Indonesia, USA, fellow Canadians, Austria and Hungary!

I guess I have to rewrite those chapters after all. *Sigh...* And type all those hand written ones. And also figure out how to fill the time jumps.

I'm juggling medical issues, work, the upcoming concert (I'm alto in a local choir, its brand new so I don't know any of the parts, its pretty challenging to learn it all for December 5th). I'll do my best.

Thank Karina, readers, I had pretty much told myself that if nobody asked, I'd give it up. I really thought that I could motivate myself solely on the traffic stats, but I do need feedback after all.

And as a reward for having read all that, I post at the same time a chapter freshly out of the keyboard. Part of it was written in the hospital, while I waited for an exam. So it was re-written, and then retyped! Enjoy!
