By mid afternoon he saw something up ahead...Was it a mirage? Were his eyes playing tricks on him or was it the two women? He rode faster and looked in horror as Sunshine and Mary came into view. As he jumped off his horse Mary looked up. Disoriented, as if in a daze, she just stared. Matt gave her his canteen as he looked at the crumpled form of Sunshine, laying on the ground by Mary's feet. He gently cradled her head.
Mary:"I'm sorry, Matt. Sunshine is dead."
Matt looked at her motionless body. He clutched her tightly to his chest and cried.
AND NOW PART THREE:
"The Desert"
Subtitle....." Your Annie Oakley Is A Tough Cookie"
As Matt held Sunshine, sobbing uncontrollaby, he heard a sound....So soft he thought he had imagined it. Sunshine slowly opened her eyes.
Matt:"SUNNY?! " She quickly fell back into unconsciousness. Matt cried out his thanks to God, as he quickly and carefully put Mary on his horse and Sunshine in his arms. They were headed in the direction of Rattlesnake Bluff when Festus came riding toward them in a buckboard. Both women were placed in the back, with Matt sitting next to them. They were well on their way to Dodge when Matt made his grim discovery......Two punctures on Sunshine's leg.
Matt:"SNAKEBITE!!"
Festus reined in the horses as he looked over his shoulder and watched Matt cut her leg in an effort to extract the poison. Mary was not coherent enough to tell them when it had occured.
Festus:"Matthew?"
Matt:"Festus! I gotta get her to Dodge, NOW!! You get Mary back safely."
He mounted his horse, placing Sunshine in front of him and sped off !! His earlier hopes were dashed. He knew she needed the attention of Doc....And SOON!
When he got back to town, a crowd gathered and watched as he carried Sunshine up the stairs to Doc's office. (2) Noone spoke. They could see the gravity of the situation. Matt placed her on the bed and told Doc the details. Doc's face was grim as he administered the antibiotics.
Matt:"Save her, Doc. (4) I can't go on without her."
Doc:"I won't lie to you, Matt. This is very serious. In her dehydrated state, she's almost defenseless."
Matt's face reflected his panic. (6) He dropped to his knees.
Doc had never seen Matt so unglued. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll do everything I possibly can. Why don't you go and get some sleep."
Matt never took his eyes off Sunshine ...... " I'm staying."
The door opened and Kitty slipped quietly in the room. She looked at Sunshine...Then she looked at Matt.
Kitty:"She'll be okay, Cowboy. Your Annie Oakley is a tough cookie." She stroked his hair and was unnerved by his stoic stare.
(9) She had to turn away. It was just too unsettling to see Matt in this condition. She stopped for a moment as she left the room....."Matt loves her........ He really loves her."
Throughout the night, Matt stood vigil. At one point, he got up and walked out on the landing. (5) The sky was ablaze with stars. He looked up, whispered a prayer and then went back inside, taking his place next to her. As he looked at her ashen face he searched for a change....ANY change that would indicate she was mending. He smiled as he touched her cheek. He cried as he gently kissed her lips. He could imagine her (7) Like a little fairy sitting on a leaf, watching him, with a bemused smile and a twinkle in her eyes...... "My little pixie.....(8) Today, tomorrow and always......
My little pixie."
(3) Images as vivid as words on a page flooded his mind.
[ At this point~~~~~~~ Flashbacks are shown, as this music is being played.
Think back to the other stories you have read about these beloved characters....The hilarious moments they have shared; The perilous times and the times they argued, only to end up in a tender embrace. Think about the countless times they expressed their profound love for each other. THESE are the thoughts and pictures that are playing (1) In slow motion, in Matt's heart and soul. ]
Matt held her hand and put it to his face......."(10) I will alwayslove you, Sunshine~~~~~ Please come back to me."
Listen carefully and you will hear the Sunshine's name being sung:

Tips for finding small holes: You might be able to hear air escaping through holes in the tires. Sometimes, however, it's not that easy. Here's a trick to help you spot small holes in the car tire. Make a soapy solution in a large bowl. Inflate the tire as best you can. Pour the soapy water over it. The leak should be easily evident because the air escaping through a hole will create bubbles. Mark the hole with a paint pen so you can find it later.

Ways to fix a tire: You may either get it patched or temporarily plug it yourself. Here are some repair tips:

In slow motion, she walked through her life of pain. She hears herself say, "I can't go on". Then, on that beautiful day, was when her Dreams were answered. He came to put an end to her sadness. And Love was the escape Plan to do just that. Although no one spoke. He brings her words from a letter that he had written with his thoughts of her. She reads each line and was filled with the images, as vivid as words on a page.
...He dropped to his knees to ask for her hand. She had to turn away. Nothing had proepared her for these emotions. The sky was ablaze with Stars of Love.
.. At the end of the Letter, was these few words, "I will always love you. Today, tomorrow, always. And that is my promise.

While taking a long walk down the beach the other day, a man ran across a small bottle buried on the beach. He dropped to his knees to retrieve the bottle and upon brushing against the surface a flash of light occurred around him and he passed out. When he awoke, the sky was ablaze with stars and he still held the bottle in his hands. He was now in a small forested glen where he felt so small almost like a little fairy sitting on a leaf poised to go about the daily duties of applying the dew to petals of a flower. Standing up, he looked about and saw that he was not the only person there, there was a young woman who was standing about 10 feet away from him giggling at him. She laughed at the fact of his situation.
She stated to him, “Welcome to my world, you will now be here today, tomorrow and always. By handling the bottle, you have moved yourself to an alternate universe that exists only by magic and the memories of those who have passed.”
Then as if in slow motion she started to walk away from him. He pursued, felling that this woman was the reason for his existence, he ran after her. Catching up to her, he grasped at her hand, and stated to her “I can't go on. I will always be your servant.” Then she smiled and allowed all the Images as vivid as words on a page to enter his mind by looking into her eyes. The images were ones that he was familiar with, his childhood, his parents lives and deaths, he realized the woman was his mother and she was sharing her memories with him. Seeing the tears running down his face caused her to feel two ways. One to take him in her arms and comfort him or two she had to turn away and leave him to his personal discovery.
He then was enclosed in the light once more, and found himself back on the beach still holding the bottle and realized the biggest lesson of all, Don’t drink TOO MUCH!!!

No one spoke, time seemed to be going in slow motion.
"I can't go on like this Jake" she said...she had to turn away from his face as he gazed into her eyes.
She slowly walked away and looked like a little fariy sitting on a leaf amongst the trees, she was so small. His heart was breaking. The sky was ablaze with stars, but all he had eyes for was her.
He followed her and said "I can't go on without you my love" as he dropped to his knees at her feet. "I will love you today, tomorrow and always".

Bill arose to the sight of Crimson wagging her tail in slow motion. She's trying to stay quiet, he thought, and give me a few more minutes in bed. That's the nice thing about older dogs. They're patient.
BilI would usually give Cathy a wake up call right about now, but she hadn't given him the usual reminder yesterday at quitting time. Come to think of it, NO ONE spoke to him at all when he went out to the parking lot. He wondered if he'd somehow offended his co-workers.
Bill walked to the kitchen and hit the start button on the coffee maker. Then he and Crimson went into the back yard to take care of some routine morning business.
Though the first few rays of sunlight were peeking up over the eastern horizon, Bill was surprized to notice that, to the west, the sky was ablaze with stars. "Have a look, Old Girl. You don't see a sky like that every morning!" he exclaimed. Crimson wagged her tail a little faster at the sound of his voice, but otherwise ignored him.
Moments later, the slow moving pair made their way around to the driveway to pick up the newspaper. As usual, they were greeted by Ms. Finch, a retired chorus girl, strolling down the sidewalk in her faux-fur collared pink houserobe, petting the persian cat she held in her arms. "Good morning to you Mr. Cane", she said in her deliberately breathy voice. "And to you as well, good neighbor..today, tomorrow and always!" he replied with obvious Truman-like enthusiasm.
Suddenly, the cat leapt out of Ms. Finch's arms and she had to turn away momentarily to secure her robe. "Now you leave Sugar alone!" Bill reminded Crimson who was paying little attention anyway to the cat that was now hiding in the hedgerow.
Bill KNEW what was coming next, but he waited until he was asked, "Oh, dear, can you please get my Sugar out of the bush?" He laughed to himself as he dropped to his knees and tried to coax the cat to come out into the open, "Come on now, Sugar. I can't go on like this all morning. The neighbors will start to talk!"
Bill handed the cat to its owner, and dusted the damp leaves from his robe. "Thank you so much, darling," said Ms. Finch, and then added, "By the way, I almost forgot to give you your package that was dropped at my house by mistake! Wouldn't be your birthday, would it, dear?"
"Why yes it IS as a matter of fact!"
THAT explains alot, thought Bill. The office gang must be planning the proverbial black balloon birthday celebration.
Bill retrieved the package, thanked his neighbor and headed into his house for his first cup of coffee. "You know something, Crimson?" he asked, "If the rest of today goes anything like this morning, it's gonna' be a real doozy!"

Not going to give you seven! But for number 10...."I will always
try my best in life, no matter how hard it gets, and no matter how many times my heart gets broken, I will strive to keep
believing that things will eventually get better, and, even if I end up old, alone and ugly and sick and broke, and half demented, I will NEVER, NEVER stop believing that Jesus is real and He loves me!"
How's that?
