Story Notes:
This story will be written in much the same way as the show "24":  Each chapter will take place over the course of one hour and it all starts on "Casino Night".  Including the prologue, there will be 25 chapters total.  This is something new and a little out of my comfort zone for me so I hope you enjoy it!

What shall the first hour bring for these two crazy kids?

P.S. Yes, I am taking creative license and saying that the parking lot scene was around 10 pm. Just because I can.

I love writing chapters late at night; it's always entertaining to see what I've come up with the next morning. But this one actually turned out pretty well, and after a few minor edits, I present the next installment!

The only good thing about being on duty in my hall on a party night is having an excuse to stay in and write another chapter. So voila! Enjoy!

Happy Premiere Day everybody!  And what better way to celebrate than with a new chapter!  It's fitting that I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning finishing this, huh?  Hope it's somewhat coherent.  Enjoy!

So I'm pretty nervous about this chapter, almost to the point where I was going to postpone updating. But at the same time I really want to hear what you guys think.

A bajillion Schrutebucks and a whole plate of Italin food to Sweetpea and supergirlsudz for being such amazing betas.  You ladies are just all kinds of fantastic :)

9. 5:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 12] 4 (1097 words)
Oh Becky215, I can't thank you enough for talking me off the ledge with this chapter.  And I owe Cousin Mose a huge thank you for pushing me in the right direction with this story.  You guys rock :)

10. 6:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 14] 3 (1029 words)
Thanks to Miss Becky215 for giving this a once over before posting :) 

11. 7:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 8] 1 (1149 words)
"Thank you" doesn't even begin to cut it for Cousin Mose and Becky215.  You guys are amazing!

12. 8:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 8] 1 (1589 words)

This one's a bit on the long side (TWSS) but I'm hoping you guys don't mind :)

Thanks to Cousin Mose for his awesomeness as usual.

13. 9:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 5] (1073 words)

Wow, so sorry this took so long, folks.  Blame life.  But as a Thanskgiving treat for you all, I present 9:00 am!  

P.S. This thing wouldn't even exist were it not for Becky215.  Thanks a million, hun :)

14. 10:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 18] 4 (1212 words)

SO glad I got this chapter out when I did. Sad to say that this will be my last for awhile since finals are approaching and I'd really rather not fail :)

Cousin Mose and Becky215 rock my socks off for being such good cheerleaders!

15. 11:00 AM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 11] 6 (1346 words)

Yeah, wow, I suck for taking this long to update.  Blame finals!   And, you know, me sleeping in till 11:30 everyday (I'm on vacation).  Anywho!  I hereby present another installment, which would totally not have been possible without the amazing beta team of Cousin Mose and Becky215.  You guys rock my fanficcin' world :D

Enjoy!

So this chapter is in a bit of a different format; hope you guys like it.  As always, this would be nothing without the constant help and encouragement of Cousin Mose.

17. 1:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 13] 6 (808 words)
Woo another update!  And a faster one at that.  Muchos gracias to Becky215 for looking this over!

18. 2:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 12] 4 (1350 words)

Ten years later, I'm back with another chapter! Sorry it took so long folks, life getting in the way and what not. Anyway, hope this is worth the wait!

Oh and before I forget, a big huge thank you to both Becky215 and Cousin Mose for giving this the seal of approval!

19. 3:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 14] 6 (1228 words)
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, I have actually updated!  I am so sorry it took so long and I can promise you that it will not be two months before I update again.  I don't want to leave you guys hangin'!  Without further ado, enjoy 3 pm!

20. 4:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 15] 6 (1328 words)

So remember that time I was like "Oh don't worry guys, it won't take me two months to update." EPIC FAIL!  My sincerest apologies for yet another long wait; as Becky215 joked, I'll really try not to have "One Day" take One Year :) If you've given up on this story, I completely understand.  And if you haven't, then you're much more patient than I am.  But I seriously thank you guys for still reading even with the slow updates.  I'll do my best to crank out these last few chapters fairly quickly.

Enough of my jabbering, enjoy!

21. 5:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 11] 5 (1018 words)
Can you believe it?  A new chapter already!  I told you I wouldn't let you guys down, and I hope this chapter doesn't either.  Enjoy!

22. 6:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 19] 10 (815 words)
I know. I KNOW.  It's taken over a year to write One Day and basically there's no excuse for my severe lack of updating besides the stress of life and writer's block.  But at long last, here's a new chapter, and I really, truly hope it does not disappoint!

23. 7:00 PM by Wendy Blue [Reviews - 20] 10 (1049 words)
I don't think I can apologize enough for the delay between chapters.  Senior year of college takes a lot out of a girl, lemme tell ya.  But chapter 23! It's here! And I hope you enjoy :)

A long time ago, Becky215 and I were chatting about this story and how long it was taking to write. She joked "Let's hope 'One Day' doesn't take two years!" And I laughed and said "Oh my dear friend, of course it won't! I am on top of this!"

Two years later...

 I know I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again: I am so so so sorry I am taking months to update. I've got no excuse other than life getting in the way. But I bring you a long chapter, so that's something right?.....Right?

 

Big huge hugs and thanks to Little Comment who truly brought it with her beta skillz and encouraged me to get this thing back in motion.
