Manfred Argerich grew up with a single mother. They had a great life, and as it would turn out his uncle helped his mother out quite a bit. There was a lot that Manfred didn’t really pick up on for quite a while. They never wanted for anything. Steve Chavez was Manny’s roommate at Humboldt State University for four years. Now the adventure was about to begin. Each was about to venture out into the cold, cruel world to conquer the unconquerable. Steve was joining Greenpeace to conquer the environmentally evil industrial world. Manny had a little less adventurous goal. He was going to work at a winery in central Arkansas. Each had something to discover.

Author's foreword: This is not going to be an easy or comforting story for me to write. Sara's Story exhausted me, mentally and emotionally. When it was done I tried my hand at a couple of short-shorts, but they weren't what I needed them to be.

An Epilogue

With the end of Ivan's trial came a level of relaxation at the office. Steve took a week’s well-earned vacation allowing he and Phyllis to use the time to come to terms with their new lives. Desiree found housework chores to be a relaxing experience compared to his normal high pressure job.

Dana makes her decision about transforming Sloan, or was it made for her?

Gabriel, Matt, and Danielle receive a visit from Brandin Jessup's agent, Thomas Dern. The agent is pushing to get his client back into the film project, while Matt and Danielle have already decided to use Sloan. In Hollywood power plays between producers, directors, and agents, who's will is stronger?

Sloan has a chance to get the role of a lifetime in Matt Sharp's new Hollywood blockbuster...all he has to do is convince them that he can play the part; however, Matt and his wife Danielle are looking for much more than an actor to play a trans-gendered hit man. They are looking for a submissive to replace Gabriel/Gabi-girl, who is finishing his internship and returning to University.

In this chapter, Sloan and Dana start working out some issues as they discuss their plan for the upcoming costume party at which they hope to convince the Sharps that Sloan's acting talent will make him a perfect fit in their new film.
