Summary: Some down-time at the Temple creates a few complications such as
war, famine, homelessness, Taffy Toys and (of course) sex. 

Disclaimers: The Boyz and most of the concepts herein belong to George "Our
Heavenly Father" Lucas.  Please don't smack me with a big ol' lawsuit.  The
songs "Crystal Ship", "Love me Two Times" and "Touch Me" belong to either
the Doors or whoever finally ended up with the rights to their music.  Not
me, anyway.  I made no money off of this.  Jim Morrison is dead, and he
doesn't really make an appearance in this story, but he comes pretty
honking close.  Please, Mr. Morrison's spirit or his family, don't sue me
either.

Notes: ACHTUNG!!!  This story underwent a major re-write (added 33% to it,
give or take) for the second time after feedback proved to me that I had
left out some major plot points.  If you are at all even MARGINALLY
following this series, I do heartily encourage you to check out this
re-post.  You'll be missing big chunks of info that will come in handy
later if you don't.  Plus, there's new naughtiness to be found within. 
Really.  If you read the next installment without this, you're going to be
thinking, basically, "WHAT?" 

Rauhnee's help was so amazing on this that she's been promoted to co-author
on this one.  She really deserves it!  Rilka and the Allocations Office was
written by her. I had this idea that maybe a Marine could get their butts
in gear and she kindly took the job after she made a few too many comments
on how bloody inefficient the Temple was and how badly they needed a Woman
Marine to take over Allocations.  What a lovely job she's done with it,
too!

Big thanks go to my Padawhine Mre, who also babied this thing through
post-feedback surgery.  She's fearless.  She lets me know when I get my
characterization hopelessly incorrect ("Master, you've written Qui-Gon like
a scumsucking bastard.") and is kind enough to indicate when I get it
right.  ("This is better, Master.  I take it back.")

This was originally written under the influence of the Sith Academy.  After
a radical joke-ectomy, it is actually a presentable portion to the 'Bonds
of Choice' storyline.  Perhaps, one day far in the future, I'll share that
original with you all.  Like when this is all just some horrible nightmare.

Rauhnee's notes: Not much to add, but I wanted to make sure Mercutio knows
how much she's appreciated after she did the unthinkable -- not only gave a
major LOC with useful crits in it, but actually responded to a requested
for more information.  You give hope, darling.  Thank you.

And Mercutio, if you're a he, I'm sorry.  Educated guess.
