I laughed over the Claymore part- being a real man for CM and the "Now, where are my Cocoa Puffs?" Great timing!

thank you for posting! I've really enjoyed reading your work!

Well this helps explain why all of a sudden she starts dating at the start of this episode. That always puzzled me why they showed 3-4 suitors when up until this point she never seemed to date. Thank you for enlightening me via FF :)

Love this story. It helps explain the second season's change from the very romantic first season to the more typical comedy of the second season. No romance allowed, very unfortunately.

I hope he's very ready in your next FF! Let's see what you can do with the only scene in which CNR looks remotely romantic...the Waltz! The third paragraph is very romantic.

A two-fer! Candy and the pirate ship. I love this little vignette, and how she hangs out with Martha to avoid the Captain...or typing in the parlor. These are the realistic facts that make the show so much more intriguing off-camera.

Gayle, I love the way you've framed her cool response in the context of his own distancing. Never saw it this way before. I actually had to stop and think of the episode to follow!
