The Walkon II by Lapi

Someone once commented how good it felt when a plan comes together. How exactly is it when two people each have a plan and only one comes true. In Nick's case the end result probably does not matter. Remember guys. 'Resistance is futile' especially if one party always gets her way. It's not important what your position is when you start the race, but what it is when you finish.
