Need a second set of eyes: Stumped by Serializer issue :-/

I'm altering the PetClaimTicket for FsAts system to allow claiming two pets instead of one.
However, when I add the secondpet to the serializer it gives me an error and forces deleting the ticket on world load.

Honestly can't see what I'm doing wrong even after several days.
If i take out the secondpet parts, it will save and load fine.

I've props it in game after creation and everything is normal.

Code: 
public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
        {
            base.Serialize( writer );

            writer.Write( (int) 2 );  // was originally 1
           
            // edit
            writer.Write( m_SecondPet );
            // end edit
            writer.Write( m_AI );
            writer.Write( m_Owner );
            writer.Write( m_Pet );
            writer.Write( m_Str );
            writer.Write( m_Dex );
            writer.Write( m_Int );
            writer.Write( m_Hits );
            writer.Write( m_Stam );
            writer.Write( m_Mana );
            writer.Write( m_Phys );
            writer.Write( m_Fire );
            writer.Write( m_Cold );
            writer.Write( m_Nrgy );
            writer.Write( m_Pois );
            writer.Write( m_Dmin );
            writer.Write( m_Dmax );
            writer.Write( m_Mlev );
            writer.Write( m_Gen );
            writer.Write( m_Price );
            writer.WriteDeltaTime( m_Time );
        }
       
        public override void Deserialize(GenericReader reader)
        {
            base.Deserialize( reader );

            int version = reader.ReadInt();

            switch ( version )
            {

error readout is pretty typical

Looks like lines 49 + 50 from the script in your first post are not necessary, technically trying to load the mobile twice.

Ty but that's just my error in reverting changes I had previously made.

Brain is feeling pretty fried today and for no real reason (sadly)
 
I'm not on a computer with ServUO installed at the moment, but you cant read m_SecondPet in version 1.

Code: 
               case 1:
               {
//                  if( m_SecondPet != null )
//                       m_SecondPet = reader.ReadMobile();
                 
                    m_AI = reader.ReadInt(); // AI Fix
                   goto case 0;
               }

Everything handling m_SecondPet must be in version 2.
If you dont like to read/write a empty structure then you need to have a boolean before telling so in both read/write function. m_IsSecondPet
