Amanda takes steps to improve her relationship with Lee. It’s A/U and may be off cannon. It takes place Before Night Crawler. This is my first Adult story.

AUTHOR’S NOTES: In a previous Fanfiction of mine titled A Summer to Forget, Amanda overcomes a serious life threatening injury. That is what I’m making reference to. I hope to post Summer first, but, just in case I don’t, you’ll have some idea what I’m talking about here.

DISCLAIMER:  Scarecrow & Mrs. King does not belong to me. I’m only borrowing them for a little fun. They belong to Warner Bros. & Shoot the Moon.

A GREAT BIG HUG AND MY PROFOUND THANKS GO TO CHERYL AND RITA.  THEIR HELP WAS INVALUABLE TO ME.

Lee discovers one of Amanda’s hidden secrets. End of season three. Just slightly off cannon. A/U

Disclaimer: The characters don’t belong to me. I am just having fun. The songs don’t belong to me either. The story is mine. The reference to Sandy Newcomb is from the episode Sudden Death; this character belongs to the writer of that episode. Scarecrow and Mrs. King is the property of Warner Brothers and Shoot the Moon Enterprises. Any reference to person’s living or deceased that are not credited is purely accidental. This is a work of fiction.

Authors Note: The timing of the songs may not be just right in the time line but I liked these songs so I used them. Salinte: Gaelic for “Cheers.” Mi baidh sibn: I love you, also Gaelic. This is the  very first story I've ever written.

I’d like to give huge THANKS to NancyY, Stephanie, Alley, Ana, Cheryl, and Rita, Miss Edna, too, for the wonderful beta job they did. Their help only made this story and my writing better.

Special thanks go to Tina Ramos. She gave me the courage to try something new. Thanks for all your help. And to all the Gutter Girls who I bugged nightly in chats, thanks for all your patience and suggestions.

This story takes place after the Tag in the episode Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag.

Disclaimer: Scarecrow & Mrs. King, and Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag belong to Warner Bros. and Shoot The Moon. The story is mine--flaws and all.

Thanks to my wonderful betas, Rita and Miss Edna.  A very special thanks to Kathy. She took my idea for an ending, and using her talents, actually managed to turn it into something legible.
