Earth 2 Discussion List Fan Fiction Fans: This is the third time I've tried to send this story off to the list... it's written as a single piece but since the other two ones disappeared without a trace, I'm rendering it into smaller bits as is the custom for this attempt. Just assemble the pieces in the right order at the "*---...---*" lines it was cut at for mailing, and you'll have the whole thing back together properly (the story should total 1463 lines, 79557 chars.) I've had files as big as 300K come through the Internet mail as a unit before with no trouble, but not apparently here, *sigh*. And if you get part but not all of the story, never fear, we'll make something work.

Enjoy...
