A/N: For those of you that were confused…yes in chapter 34 Spike dusted Riley. I apologize for any misunderstanding but from the point of view of this author, Riley’s passing wasn’t worthy of more time than I gave him. That could either be because I was projecting my own anger at RL onto Riley or that I just didn’t like the character – flip a coin. :D

This is the final chapter of this story. I do have plans for a sequel. This story was needed in order to place everyone where I need them for the main story that I had in mind when I started this fic. I hope to start it after I have finished up some of my other commitments. Thank you all for reading this and to the wonderful people that faithfully reviewed...you have my heart.
