Part 1
After a short, but deep relationship, Luis and Sheridan were tore apart by Alistar Crane, Sheridan's Father. She changed her name and appearance and moved away leaving Luis behind and makingthem both utterly miserable......................................................MADRID, SPAIN
"Louisa," a voice called, " I thought you were working today?" said her roomate Alison. "Oh, yeah. I was supposed to, but I don't feel quite up to it today, so I called in sick." "You know what?," said Alison, "If you keep calling in sick like you did the past couple of days, people are going to beleive something is actually wrong with you. You only moved here a few months ago and you just began to work." Alison stalls for a moment. " You miss him don't you ?" " Of course I do, he is the love of my life, my soulmate. When I just think of his deep brown eyes I go weak at the knees. His smile makes me melt. He's . . . he's, well just . . . . . . ." As she says this a single tear slides down her cheek. "It's ok, everything will be alright. Love conquersall." " I sure hope you're right. I don't think that I could go on another day without him, his touch, . . . . . .his kisses." Sheridan breaks down and cries hysterically. "Louisa, I have to go to work. Are you going to be ok?""I think so." "When I get home we can talk about whatever you want. If he is what you want, then we'll talkabout him. Bye." And with that said Alison left the apartment.
BACK IN HARMONY . . .
" Mama, I can't do it. I just can't get on with my life without her. I Love Her Mama !," said Luis. " I know you do mi hijo, but you must. If not for you, do it for Sheridan. She would not want you to be unhappy, she would want you to be happy. I love her too, just as if she was one of my own children. Luis, she is like a part of the family.Nobody could ever forget her." "Mama, you make it sound like Sheridan died. She didn't, I know she didn't. Alistar and Julian had to be behind this and if I find out they were in fact behind this, there will be hell to pay.""Luis," Pilar said. "But, what if . . . "But nothing mama. Just leave it alone. I know in my heart that she isn't dead because if she was I would feel like a part of myself has died too."
AT THE YOUTH CENTER ( 2hrs. later )
" Hey there stranger," Hank said as Luis walked in and set at his desk. " Where have you been,under a rock or something ?" " Huh . . . . What? ""I said hey there." "Yeah, hey. " "Luis what's wrong, man. You've been like this for the past 2 months, ever since . . . . . . " Hank'svoice trailed off. "Ever since . . . What, Hank ?," Said Luis. "Ever since Sheridan left ?" Luis sits and stares of thepitcure of Sheridan. " Luis, man. Why don't you take a vacation for a while? I can't let Harmony's best police officer or my best friend work when his mind is on something /someone else." "Thanks Hank ," said Luis. "I think I could use that. I might just take the trip I've always wanted,Spain.
MADRID - Later on that evening
"Alison," said Sheridan. "Is that you?" "Yeah, it's me. How've you been holding up after thisafternoon?" "I manage. I just can't get him off my mind." "Louisa, if you want to be with him that bad, be likeNike and JUST DO IT !" "That's the problem, I can't. If I go back . . . . . ." "What, Louisa. Tell me the whole story. WHO he is andWHY you can't see him." "Alright, But it's a very long story." "I'm up for that. If we can get some cocoa first?"Said Alison."It's a deal."
3 hrs. later
" . . . we fell in love. We couldn't help it, it was always there but we could never admit it to each other. Back home, in Harmony, the Valentine's Day Dance at the youth center, Which he runs, we finally admitted it. All it took was 1 year. That night, after the dance, we walked along the beach and back to my cottage. On the way Luis gave me a single red rose wrapped up in heart paper and said that this rose, just blossoming, was the beginning of our relationship and every thime I seeone remember him and how much he loves me and will neverstop, no matter what. That night Luis and I became wrapped up in our passion . Our emotional, as well as physical desire for one another. We made love. The night lasted forever as we fell asleep in each other arms. It was magical. He told me that night that nothing would ever come between us. That we would be together forever and one day marry and have as many children as our heart desired. The next morning we decided to tell my father and brother that we were in love with each other and we didn't care what they thought. We wanted to betogether, forever ." "Wow, Louisa.""Sheridan, it's Sheridan""Sorry, Sheridan" "It's alright. I just glad that I could confide insomeone." "Hey, I have the best idea. Why don't we send him aletter?" " I can't, my father and bother know my 'name' and if they know I sent him a package, there's notelling what they are capable of." " What if I send him one?"" I don't know. It may work . . . no it won't. They'll realize that it is someone I know sending theletter and track me down. "What if we put a fake address on it," said Alison, "Maybe say that we're from Santa Fe or something and then put our real address inside?" " It might work, it just might work . . ." Sheridan thought this and just nodded her head.

THELOPEZ-FITZGERALD HOME, HARMONY
The next morning . . .
"Luis, Theresita, Miguel. Time to get up, breakfast is ready." said Pilar who was yelling up the stairs. "Coming mama." said Theresa. "Me too," shoutedMiguel. "Where's Luis, mi hija?" asked Pilar. "I don't know mama, I'm not even sure if he came home last night," stated Theresa. Just then Luis walked in the front door. "Mi Hijo, where have you been?""Oh, hi mama. I was taking a walk and ended up at Sheridan's cottage last night. I let myself inand . . .". Luis just let the rest of his sentance dangle in theair. " Mi Hijo, you know that you shouldn't go there. It'sjust too painful." " I know mama, but I just couldn't help it. I miss her so much. I know she didn't leave me. She couldn't have, mama. She was forced to leave by Alistar and Julian and I won't rest until I know that she is safe and with me. I love her and she loves me." and with that Luis left the living room and went upstairs to get ready for work.
SHERIDANAND ALISONS APARTMENT, MADRID
Later on that same evening . . .
"Alright Sheridan," said Alison, " We have paper, pens and 2 envelopes. Shall we begin?""I thought you'd never ask." "How do we start this letter off?" "Well how about Officer Lopez - Fitzgerald ?" Sheridan said with a million dollar smile plasteredupon her face."Ok." "We're really going to do this aren't we?" "You bet your little behind we are." After Alison said this, she and Sheridan began to laugh. "The letter should go something like this," siadSheridan.
Dear Officer Lopez - Fitzgerald,
You may not have any clue who I am but I have some important information on the "death" of one Sheridan Elizabeth Crane. If you are able to, would you kindly come to Madrid, Spain. If you could, it would be greatly appreciated. It would be good if you knew a little Spanish, it would be easier to find your way around. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 1 (859) 555-2987, ask for Alison Gomez or Louisa L. Fisher. We have information that could put somebody(s) away for hopefully a long, long time for what they did to cet woman. If you love her or loved her, this information is vital.
Thank You,
Alison P. Gomez "Perfect," said an overjoyed Sheridan. "I hope hecomes to me ." "Sheridan, lets go mail the letter." said Alison, "Lets send is by air-mail, if we do it should be thereina few hours." "Alison?" said Sheridan, "Do you think you could do it. I have to make a few phone calls and I have to make a doctor's appointment. I really do feelsquamish." "Sure thing, right away." and Alison left theappartment.
BACK IN HARMONY . . . (1 hr. later)
"Bye mama," Luis said as he left the house for work,"I'll see you later." "Alright mi hijo, supper will be at 7 tonight." "O.K." and with that, Luis was out the door and headedfor the station. As Luis was on his way to the station he was sidetracked. Obviously thinking about Sheridan. He pulled over and got out of his car for some freshair. " Oh Sheridan, I love you so much. If there was only a way to proove you were still alive. Oh, Luis stop it. You know in your heart of all hearts that she is alive don't keep doing this to yourself. SHEIS ALIVE! I KNOW SHE IS !" Luis got back into his car and finished his drive tothe station.

"Appointment made. I have to go in at 11:30 tomorrow morning." Sheridan said."Good, and the mail was sent.. . . to be delivered by tomorrow morning. Now can we please go to sleep? You and I both have a long day ahead of us."asked Alison. "Good night Ali.""Nightie-nite Sheridan" Alison and Sheridan part ways and both enter their bedrooms on the opposite sides of the apartment. Alison was right, a long day was ahead forboth her and Sheridan.
BACK IN HARMONY
"Luis, what are you doing here?" asked the Cheif of Police, Sam Bennett."Sam, I was wondering..... well I do have..." Luis looked curiously towards Sam "Vacation." Luisstated firmly. "What about vacation, Luis?" "I do have time saved and I have been putting a little away. Could I, Well, Am I allowed to take a vacation?" Luis asked lowering his voice as he nearedthe end of his sentence. "Are you serious?" Sam replied sternly finding it hard not to yell YES and pray to the Lord."I, I'm sorry. I shouldn't hhhhhhhhave." "Luis, buddy." He called after him as he was near to the front door of the station."Yeah, Sam?" "Have Fun." He sends him off with a wink and heads back to his office for a long night. He stops infroont of his office door to hear "Thanks, Cheif."and then a slam.
LATER ONTHAT SAME EVENING
(Lo-Fitz Residence)
Crash, Bang, Boom, is all that could be heard from the upstairs of the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence that evening when Pilar arrived home from the mansion. "Luis, mi hijo, is that you?" Pilar asked becoming a bit apprehensive when there was no answer. "Yeah Mama, I'm here. Where's my suitcase?" Luis asked as he rummaged through everything insight. "It's in the hall closet on the bottom shelf behindthe box of books." "Thanks, Mama." Luis found his suitcase and came downstairs after setting it on his bed. "Mama?""What is it Luis?" "Well, I asked Sam if I could have some vacation time, and well, I can ........... so, Mama?""Yes?" "Can I, I mean, do you mind if I go on a trip?" "I will do you some good. You go and have fun." "Thanks Mama. You know I love you, right?" "Yes, but it is always great to hear it, from all ofmy children." "I leave tomorrow at one o'clock on my way to Spain." "Ok, mi hijo. Now go to bed and get rested. It will bea long trip." As Luis is making his way upstairs to his room he hears a knock on the door. "I'll get it Mama." "Good-night, I love you." Pilar says as she is entering her bedroom for the night. "Night, I love you too." Luis replies as he opens thedoor. "Parcel for .." the man looks down at his clipboard and mutters "Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald.""That's me. Where do I . . ." "Sign here please." Luis signs his name and recieves his parcel. "Thank You." and then he shuts the door. "I wonder what this is. Oh, well. I'll read it on my way. I gotta go to bed for my trip tomorrow afternoon." Luis rubs his hands together and turns into his bedroom for the evening.
-------------------------------------------------------
MADRID
Sheridan was woken by the sound of cars whizzing past her slightly open window. After another night with these vivid, and I do mean vivid dreams, she was about to crack. Sheridan clutched her pillow to her chest and began to relive her dream . .. . . . . ~*~ DREAM ~*~ He walked up to her with accuracy and precision, never taking his eyes off of her in his favorite outfit. The short, tight little black number. He called it theTemptress. He looked into her crystal blue eyes and saw forever. "Sheridan, I Love You." was all she heard. Her voiced missing for a moment. He takes her face between the palms of her hands and places a feather light kiss onher forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips. Sheridan looks at him and shakes her head yes. He picks her up and carries her from the livingroom, upstairs to the bedroom in a place she knew all towell --Her Dreamhouse . He gently lays her down on the bed and covers her with his hard muscular male form. He slips the strap of her nightie down her shoulder and places open mouthed kisses along the exposed area, across her collarbone and then repeating the sameprocess to the other strap. Sheridan begins to untuck his shirt and proceeds to pull it over his head. She flips them over so that nowshe is ontop and she places sweet, suculent kisses along his broad, muscular chest until he moans frompleasure. He sits up and pulls her to her knees so she is now straddling him. He lifts the nightie over her head sothat all she is left in is her black lace bra and panties. She unbuckles his belt and slips it loop for loop out ofhis pants. She undoes the button of his Denver Hayes and starts to undo the zipper. His hand grazes over hersas if telling her to stop. He gets up off of the bed and takes them off, standing infront of her clad in a pairof boxers. He motions for her to get up. She complies as he walks over to the stereo and puts on a tape of their song .. .
I Imagine your lips onmine,
"Dance with me." he says with his eyes glazed over by all of the passion and love he held inside for her. He reaches his hand outward toward her and she takes it.
And it takes my breathaway,
I imagine what it would be liketo be the one As they sway back and forth with their bodies in complete sync with the other, they inch their way backto thebed.
In your arms and in yourdreams,
They say we come from twocompletely different worlds,
"Make love to me." Sheridan says in a voice just barely above a whisper. "Are you sure?" he says,hoping that she says yes. Sheridan nods her head, "yes," shesays, "I need you."
When I'm with you I feelblessed,
Safe and precious,
He gives her one of the most special smiles, then proceeded to undress her then himself. His eyes,smoldering with the fire she knew was only for her, penetrated her soul. He was hers and within the next few momentsshewould be his, forever.
He was very gentle, As he poised to enter her, he stopped for a second - one to make sure that this iswhat she wanted and the other to reassure her with those deep hazel eyes of his, that he loved her. truly loved her. He brushes a strand of her hair away from her angelic face as he they become one, one body, one mind and one soul. He goes slow, very sensual. As though she would break if he went any faster or harder. In andout and in and out pushing her further and further to a place where neither have gone before. Sheridan begs him "Go faster baby." Their bodies which once moved in a slow sensual manner now were moving at a rapid pace. In and out, in and out, in and out, in and out. "Oh , yes, Luis." Sheridan screamedas she reached her peak. After a few more thrusts "Sheridan" he yelled as he reached his as well,filling her completely mixing their sweet juices and then colapsedon top of her. He rolled them over so he was on bottom with Sheridan on top. "I really do love you Sheridan Crane." hetells her and then brings her up to kiss her mouth. Sheridan now had tears in her eyes when she said "And I really love you Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald." she says kissing his eyelids which suddenly became teary. "Always and Forever, Sheridan. Always and Forever."
~*~ END OF DREAM ~*~
"Sheridan, Sheridan, are you alright?" Alison asked as she pounded on the bedroom door. When she didn't answer, Alison opened Sheridan's bedroom door and went inside only to see a very pale, very flustered Sheridan. "Sheri . . . ." was all she could manage to get out before Sheridan ran past her covering her mouth and heading towards thebathroom.
BOSTON, LOGAN AIRPORT
Luis was greeted by all of the hustle and bustle of peole rushing around and announcements booming from the loudspeakers. "Welcome to the Logan Airport in Boston. Would all those on flight 521 to Spain please board at Gate 17. That's flight 521 from Boston to Spain boarding now atGate 17. Thank You." "That's me, Bye guys, I'll miss you so much." "Adios Mi Hija. I love you." Pilar said as she almost squeezed the life out of him. When Luis coughed for air Pilar finally let go. Now it was Theresa's turn, then Miguel's who told him to have fun, that it was a long time coming. Theresa said nothing, the tears just pouring from her as though she would never see him again. They waved goodbye and Luis boarded the plane with hiscarry-on and newspaper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luis was all settled in seat 7A, first class. how could he have been so reckless? Oh well, he thought, this is my vacation. He got comfortable and before long he fell asleep for the first 3 hours of the trip.
