This story is dedicated to someone that is special to a lot of us

JBK is sitting typing away at his computer. He is very seriously hoping to get the next chapter of Omake out.

Suddenly, a notice pops up on his computer, saying he has a new e-mail.

"Huh…wonder who it could be?"

He pops open the Internet, and surfs to his e-mail.

As he reads it, he gasps.

"No…way…."

He turns and starts running (almost tripping in the process).

Meanwhile, elsewhere

A man turns off the computer.

"Man, I'm tired…"

He gets up, and walks through the hallway. He stops at the bathroom, and grabs a drink of water.

He then walks to his room.

He turns on the light, and is very surprised at the sight before him.

"Welcome back….Anime-Rebirth." Kagura said, a big smile on her face.

Standing there is Kagura, Chiyo, Osaka, Sakaki, Tomo, Yomi, Rachel, Chihiro, and even Kaorin, all wearing slight smiles on their faces.

"We seriously missed you…" Chiyo said.

"It just hasn't been the same without you…" Sakaki said.

"Really, it just hasn't…" Osaka said.

Tomo and Yomi nodded in agreement.

Rachel gave him a hug.

"I really missed you…" Rachel said, a tear running down her face.

"heh…Thanks, guys…" AR looks over all of them, feeling content, yet still very tired. He looks over at Kaorin.

Kaorin comes walking forward, and bows.

"Welcome back, AR." Kaorin said, a smile on her face. "You have been missed by all of us."

AR just smiled. "Thank you, girls…but I'm feeling really tired…"

AR walks over to his bed, and gets underneath the covers. He is almost instantly asleep.

All of the girls leave the room, a smile on their face.

Kaorin stays behind. She walks over to the bed, leans down, and kisses AR on the forehead.

She then leaves, making sure to turn off the light as she goes.

As Kaorin leaves, AR's closet opens, and a woman comes walking out.

"I'm glad to see you have returned…My creator."

Author's notes: This is a special dedication and a welcome back to possibly the most active member on FF. We missed you, AR, and we hope you get well soon!!

PS. the reason Rachel said she missed AR the most was because (other than myself) I don't ever see her used in other fics.

And in case you didn't know, that last woman that popped out of AR's closet was Madoka, AR's own OC.
