@Elisabeth: aww! thank you!
I'm really glad I caved when you asked if I would participate. In that way, you certainly deserve credit for this story being posted. About the punch - it wasn't alcoholic, though it's not mentioned. There was a line originally, about it "thankfully not being spiked yet", but I deleted it.
@Laura: thank you so much! *hugs* ...I wish Batman would come in my living-room through the window, too. LOL! I'll settle for him in my head for now, I guess.
Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful feedback - you guys all rock! *big, big hugs to all*
