I would like to thanks my prime editor and Proofreader for this story. FDA_Approved has spent much of his time in shaping and developing this story along with me. He showed me the flaws and pieces that needed extensive cuts and I have so much thanks to give him. This story would not have been able to come to be without his talent and help.

Also like to to thank Monokeras for the help with the french language and getting the words said correctly.
