Title:  One Last Time
Rated: G   (There is some death)
Summary:   I prefer to have you read this story without a summary, because I don't want to give anything away. At the end of this story, I talk about why I wrote it, and how I am a part of this story. I hope you will enjoy reading it, because I wrote it with a lot of tears, and a lot of love for the four men who make up The Cartwright Family, that we have all come to know and love. I will say this, and that is, that if you are a true Bonanza fan/Adam/PR fan, you will be able to read between the lines.

PG

When I was a teenager, I fell in love with a movie of the week, titles 'The Two Words of Jennie Logan'. I took the idea for this story from that movie, and incorporated it into a Bonanza fan fiction. It's my own original idea with some of the elements of that movie. If you know the movie, think of how Jennie would have said the words that Sarah does as you read them. This story is about the love that develops between Adam Cartwright and Sarah Scott, and whether their love for each other can withstand the test of time.

G

This story features Adam and Hoss. It takes place under the stars somewhere on The Ponderosa, along the shores of Lake Tahoe. This story is almost like reading a play, because it is just one scene throughout the whole story. There isn't any descriptions of anything except what is described below under The Setting. It's just two brothers talking to one another, and that's what I wanted to be concentrated on. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.
