Cheers!

Maybe a testament to your awesome-ness :)

"Yes, ladies, step right up and be amazed! Rearrange sentences in a Ladytp fanfic, and you will find it, still, to be a coherent, heartfelt and poignant story!" LOL

Ha ha, it was fun to build up and see! Might be fun to do with other stories too, mine or others, but... *le sigh* (time!)
