Written for the What If? challenge on the forums! The rules were to take any episode from the series and change one thing about it as a springboard for a fic, with no limits on genre/length/etc.

And yes, I know it’s a short, but that’s all that really seemed to work when I sat down to write it, so that’s what you get. O:)

Unbetaed, so all mistakes are mine.
