Perhaps the following represents an alternative third season as we might have liked it. although this one is far steamier than would have ever graced the screen. As you read, recall that these were written just prior to the second season, and our creative juices had just begun to run swift and strong and constant. If these stories are successful. the hope and joy of that time. that precious gift we were bestowed with. will peek through. and we can rejoice in that rebirth. I hope the following stories may give you a renewal of the wonder of that first year and the boundless expectations for the second. Remember that time? Perhaps they will give us back our hope for their future in whatever incarnation the moguls will allow. Forever. They will endure forever.") (123)
