Alright so here we are; in my opinion the defining chapter of this tale. Hopefully everyone will be able to figure out what happened in it. If not, let me know and I'll try and straighten it out.

More crazy point of view changes as I proceed to experiment; you have been warned.

Incidentally, who wants to see what I'd do with the magical girl trope? Anyone? Bueller? (Gives a shark's grin)

Author notes:

This is kind of a long story, so I'll cut to the chase: The existing version of TOTY is dead in the water. Why? Several reasons, largely around continuity and the dark themes I was trying to deal with. But at the end of the day, it was just turning into a story that I wasn't really enjoying writing. And that's what's really important to me at the end of the day.

December already. Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. I know it’s supposed to be a time of good cheer and everything, I really do, but…

Chapter *17*
Tripping

Whilst everyone had been through the day's testing, not everyone would be going to Italy so Friday morning saw the departure of David, John and Steve leaving just nine of us for the day's activities, a two hour bash around the Pennine foothills. I felt bad for David and Steve, they've been giving their all but I guess we've been building towards this point since we arrived.

Next one: fair warning, this is a different point of view from a new character in the story. While I have the utmost faith in all members of my audience to figure that out quickly, I've been told doing that sort of thing without warning is jarring. So consider yourselves warned, and enjoy Phil the night watchman.

Princess of Russia
Chapter 2
By Kellen

I'm Christina and I'm Sabrina and Nicole's friend and love there brother Junior but as a little brother. It's my little sister that has a crush on him. And her name is Joy. She's so cute and is like my little baby. Well that's what I'm told because she looks just like me. But that can't be because I'm only 13 and she's 6. I know this sounds weird but i really love Sara Beth and yes i know the way she was born. But that doesn't matter to me at all. Joy is shy and not to good with words. and the reason why we're in diapers as well will come out soon. Sorry I have to go someones messy.

Deep Breath

“Bit full of himself.” Mand stated as we headed towards the bus.

“A right jerk,” I agreed, “he thought I was a girl!”

“As if,” Claire noted. “At least they had some decent gloves.”

“Pity that Telekom jersey was so big,” Laura lamented.

“They're a good laugh.”

“Who?” Sal queried.

“The Telekom lads.”

When the hunter becomes the hunted, they are often the last to know.

Don't You Remember?
by Stephanie Rose

Mark Jacobson was running late. He was meeting his best friend, Jake Schneider at their old hunting grounds, Blake's Tavern. They had barely seen each other in the four years since high school. Now, both of them college graduates, they were finally back home. It was time to re- connect.

Mark flashed his ID at the bouncer at the door. The burly man waved him through without a second look. Mark smiled. It was the first time he had gone in there without having to pull one of his tricks. Those days were behind him now.
