Well, Sas, I've been hoping. I've been praying. I've been crossing my fingers. I've even been wearing my lucky shamrock badge. All in the wish that maybe, maybe you were just trying to antagonise me, surely you weren't going to go ahead and post this... this... well, whatever it is.

But you did it!!! You actually did it. And I'm foreseeing a lot of on my part...

Nonetheless - this is a *really* *really* great story, if you avoid every single reference to Ireland and to me... <g> You're in for a heck of a ride, FoLCs

Sara [searching for a nice comfy rock to crawl under]

PS - I know I sound like the ultimate cliché with the red hair and all... that's what you get when the gene's in your family :p

Awww! Loved the end of that part!



^That's me in a waffy puddle!

I can't wait for more!
Jen

Yay Sas!!!! Oh... and I just wanted to make sure it's clarified that of the two Sara's, *I'm* the *less* evil one! )

Wait a minute! Clark in boxers only? Lois in who knows what , sharing a bed on a cold night? Are you kidding me?

Saskia

An excellent idea! Please post the next part soon.

Tricia

Nice begining! In this year yet, please!

Ooh! Very nice, Sas! And lots of fun, too. Clark's clearly having a great time teasing Lois over this room-sharing business. So what comes next?

Oh, and congratulations on being able to labhair as Gaeilge, a chara!

Just popping back in to respond to this;

Dar m'focal! Sara, ever hear the saying "Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón"? Because it's especially true here!!

Sara [the one who's not at all, not even the slightest little bit!! <g>]

Hi,

Great piece. Where is the next part?

MAF

You know, Sara... all I have to say is fillean meal ar an meallaire!!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments! As this is the first thing I've posted in *months*, it's good to know I haven't lost my touch. I'm thrilled that you all like it so far!

/me hands Sara some shamrocks and tells her to use them

Sorry, SJH, no kidding at all... just RAFO. I hope you'll like just what I did. And remember, this is still the PG folder.

Well, as I don't want to give away too much here, I guess that's also RAFO, Tricia. It wasn't easy to think of something, but with a little help, I thought of the perfect gift. <g>

Ehm, I think this is the point where I admit I don't speak any Irish at all... I can write a few phrases, but you do not wish to hear me pronounce it. But give me a few years... All I know is tá grá agam ort and aisling deas . All the Irish I've used in this stories comes from Sara, who was a great help in this!

Now, for the fight over who is lesser evil between Sara and Sara... I say nothing but: I think with this piece I've proved I'm not the one anymore.

Thanks again, Sara, Jose, Jen, Sara, SJH, Tricia, Andreia, Wendy and Maria!

The second and final part will be posted soon.

Saskia

Cute story, Saskia! I chuckled at this:
. I can picture the little town.
The Gaelic is whipping over my head, but my ancestors spoke it.
On to the next part! For once I'm glad to be late.
