Oooooooh. I missed this story. & Maxers's lovely works overall, really.
I'm so glad this chapter focused around Nicola; I just really like her for some reason, she just amuses me to no end.

(The new Mr. Donkey? I'm not sure she'd take to that title very well, though...

)
As every other chapter you've ever written, this was awesome Maxers! And I can't wait for more! I really can't wait to see what's going to happen to Nicola in this little... get-together...
I have a feeling something bad's going to happen to her, though. :| One of the DEs might take advantage of her neediness to be "in" and use her for evil schemes or something... I dunno.
Anyway, can't wait for more!
