Hullo again!

This tale is a “second edition” of my very first fic written three years ago. The story is still posted on ff.net in its original format, but beware--let’s just say it’s...different. It’s extremely pre-Pearl Took, lol. I would rather the reader read this version first, if you please, before giving yourself a fright.

There are some things that had to go because it just didn’t do anything to push the plot or compliment the characters, but most of it stayed--the crux of tale is still the same. I did my best...

This version (like the original) is not beta’d, however, if anyone wishes self-torment, lol, just let me know. ;-)

Enjoy.
