Not quite sure how it ties into the sequel, but a very intriguing concept.

Well, obviously the girl in that one was the girl in this one. I’d have gone into more detail, but I only had 1K. :)

But of course the beauty of ficlets is it doesn’t really have to tie in. Someone can write a new sequel to this, or a new prequel to that, ignoring the other altogether. Or a sequel that ignores the prequel, for that matter.
