Usual disclaimer: The characters in this story were created by someone richer, smarter and way cuter then me. I hope he’s flattered. If he is, he can send me Spike in gratitude. Since I’m not making any money off of this, I figure it’s a fair trade. Special grazie to liquidVamp for being my beta and my sounding board. She also leads great virtual sing alongs.
