Hey! Thanks for reading! This chapter was sooooo fun to write!

A very big thanks goes out to Randomitis Sufferer, who wanted to be in the story. She is the awesome flying purple monkey named Panda. She also supplied the cool fact that kitty hog-nosed bats are smaller than your thumb! Isn't that amazing?? Anyway, thanks for reviewing, Randomitis Sufferer, and see my read my next chapter, coming soon, to see what happens in the rest of the tournament!

If you have any fun facts you'd like me to put into the story, or maybe you have some fun ideas, or quite possibly you are just crazy (like me!!) review this story! Your review could change the ENTIRE STORY! (Cue the creepy music….)

So there you have it. I'm not usually on the computer on weekdays, but today is an exception. And probably tomorrow will be too. And if not, I'll sneak on and write another chapter, okay? Okay! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Fang: But maybe they didn't review yet!

Hey! Shush!

Fang: Please review.

Shush! Do you want to be attacked by Panda?

Fang: No. Sorry.

That's what I thought. So thanks for reading! And remember – don't wear pink when you are attacked by millions of kitty hog-nosed bats!!

Fang: And don't forget to review!!

PANDA!!!!!!!!!
