Sure Merton, you aren't falling for Tommy! As if. Of course you are falling for Tommy! And hee, Tommy's feeling okay about his lack of responsibilities, heee. I take it he wasn't supposed to adapt so quickly?

And now I Really should go to bed, since I have to be up really early.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you today, though I'm sure you're already halfway through. At least I hope so.

Tommy was supposed to be a little more upset about his failures, but then he had this moment of 'so this is what freedom feels like' and I just couldn't take that from him. He just looked so *happy*, you know? And he's going to be miserable so much that I wanted him to get a little happiness in. I'm just not sure how to work the next chapter now, but I'm sure he will tell me. He's clueless, but he's bossy.

Aww, he deserved his moment of happiness. You're right. And clueless but bossy can be a dangerous combination!

I have temps, it's so pretty all ready. LOL.

I'm glad the temp crowns went okay. I think one of my crowns is cracked, hence the pain lately. Yikes. I really need that full-time job now.

How does this differ from what you wanted? 'Cause it seems to work just fine. More, please?

It works in the context of the story (I wouldn't have posted it if it didn't), but it's not what was on the outline. I'm just not sure now if I can use the next part of the outline or if I have to regroup. Again.

That's always been the problem with this story; for all the planning I do, it has always had a mind of its own. Still, it's nice to see Tommy enjoying his freedom just a little. Boy needs to spread his wings : )

As for more, I am taking a fic break to start that original project (75 words so far! Woo!), but I will probably get back to this project sometime this weekend. I have to work all weekend, though, so we'll see how that goes.

Another chapter so quickly! That's wonderful! :)

I liked Tommy's moment of appreciating freedom, even if he was deviating from your outline. I imagine when he hears from his father happiness is going to be the last thing he feels.

I love Merton's denial of how much he likes Tommy, and the way Tommy has learned that sometimes it's just better not to tell Merton (The head-shaving thing. I foresee one really unhappy Merton. LOL)

Yes, happiness is sort of a fleeting concept in this fic. But it's kind of fun to watch Tommy being naive and joyful, if only for a few moments : )

Haha. Merton-in-my-head is already mad at me about the head shaving thing. OH WELL.

Ah, that Tommy. He never does what you tell him to, does he? Still, it's nice to see him enjoying freedom before he realises he isn't free at all still.

He *doesn't* ever do what he's told. I think that's why I love him so.

OMG horrah! This is totally worth the cat scratch I just recieved (I stopped petting her to read).

Ouch, sorry about that. I'm glad it was worth it, though.
