Howdy Kittens! Chapter 13 will be up momentarily, but first...here's feedback replies! Enjoy responsibly!
meretricious: Hi Mary. Ever since I read your feedback I've had the Little House on the Prairie theme in my head, but then I realized it was actually The Waltons theme. Huh. I intended the dream to be less Tara's subconscious figuring things out, and more just wishful thinking, but either way she's going to start scrutinizing Will a little closer. Thanks!
Kendahl1897: 
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
JustSkipIt: You're right that Tara is dismissing her dream as wishful thinking, but that's what I intended. Right now she's still so overwhelmed by the thought of being attracted to a *gasp!* boy, that she can't see it any other way. I like your summation of the gender dynamics of the story...I like to think that it shouldn't matter when it comes to love, but won't Tara be pleasantly surprised when she finds out she gets the err...whole package, so to speak.

Glad you liked it, Debra...shortness notwithstanding (and hey! I'm short! short things are good!)

It seems as if W/T are finally going to get things going
It does, doesn't it? Gee, I hope nothing or no one bad gets in the way of that happening. But hey, what are the odds?

Thanks for reading!
cperrins78: Thank you, Christina. More you shall have!
Tempest Duer: TD, there's no such thing as a bad kitten...unless that was you yowling outside my bedroom the last few nights while I was trying to sleep.

Thank you r.e. the pacing, and there will definitely be major sparkage soon.
wimpy0729: You seem awfully certain that Tara knows. Hate to break it to you, but Willow hasn't gotten away with cross-dressing this long without having a few tricks up her sleeve. No revelations yet, but I promise I will make it worth the wait when it happens, ok? Thanks Pam!
WickedReds: Thanks Reds!
You missed breast grabbage, G? Damn girl, you really were out of it. I guess you probably didn't catch the part where they had hot steamy sex on the bar, either...............HA!!! Made you look!
Artemis:I did intend the dream to be more wishful thinking than anything, Chris, but Tara's already noticed how feminine a boy Will is, so she may start looking a little more closely. I was LMAO r.e. your discussion of various "bumps", but I don't think the clothing of the day allowed for the kind of bumping and grinding necessary to notice the lack of certain ones. And now you've made me blush.

Thanks, Chris!
hermitfish: Cyd! Welcome back and thank you. You know, there's something about the phrase "festive groping" that just makes me smile.

does [Tara] remember that dream or will her subconscious begin to usher her towards noticing other clues while she's awake?
Ummm...yes.
Quote:
I wonder if any of the assembled baddies are gonna cause any problems?
Ummm...yes.
hidden watson: Unfortunately, Tara is still trying to deal with her feelings for a boy, which will prevent her from seeing the truth for a while (well, that and the fact that all heck's gonna break loose before long

). I think Donnie would love to see his sister settled down and happy, and realizes that both she and Will like each other. After the truth comes out? I haven't written or even planned that far. Remember? Unlike
some very disciplined writers, I cannot write out a whole story before posting.

Thanks watson!
Still Waters T: Liv...dude...stop making me think so hard!

I intended the dream to be wishful thinking, and that's certainly all Tara's considering it. Whether or not she subconsciously
knows is something I'll let the rest of you speculate on. My brain hurts.

Thanks for the feedback, and look! Another update in only a week!
GayNow:By all means, Carleen, fantasize away. The encouragement does help, honestly. Thanks for your comments r.e. the characters. I don't like changing them too much, even if it is an Uber fic, because the majority of them have to at least be recognizable. The cool thing is that over the course of the show, many characters went through serious changes , allowing me to pick and choose which version I use (i.e. earnest, Cowboy guy Riley instead of bitter, "I feel useless" Riley). Since you asked, Faith will be playing a part, but I will say no more for now.
ringwaldoeuvre: Very cool to see you delurking! Thank you so much for your comments, and no worries about anything you have planned for The Prisoner (which I love, btw). Since you mentioned it, I can't get the image of Yul Brynner in "Westworld" out of my head...I'm sure whatever you write will be similarly creepy (in a good way!).
Reallybigpineapple: I can't tell you how much I enjoy some good old fashioned western feedback, and yours tickled me something fierce. Any and all are welcome at this here dance, so long as no one tries to two-step with

or

...they're spoken fer! Enjoy yerselves now, ya' hear?
thebardgirl: heehee...glad you liked it Liz. Hopefully more dreamy-yummy-sigh moments in this next one. But what's this about you hangin' up yer spurs---err---pencils?, chalks?
terra21: terra...

Uhhh...sorry dude...no smut...not even smoochies (yet). But more flirting and dancing and long, dreamy gazes into each other's eyes? Still love me?
lilMissFortuneCookie: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
