A Special Author's Note

To my Beloved and Wondrous Readers,

I know I said from the previous chapter that I would try to finish part 4 of 'Panic in the Sewers' before Christmas, but I was so busy the last several days finishing up the decorating, wrapping presents, cleaning the house, and doing shopping for some important supplies for the holidays that it's gotten me into a panic about getting the next chapter done in time for Christmas.

Unfortunately, I just don't' have the time to complete it and I'm really, truly sorry about this! I need to take a break for the Christmas Holidays, just 'til the New Year is up. Then I'll get back to finishing and updating the next chapter for you all to read. I know it'll leave you all in suspense, yet I just need to clear my head and rest for a while. Once the New Year is here, I'll hopefully be right as rain and get back into writing more chapters. Maybe I'll even start on the second book in the New Year. I really hope you'll all understand!

Now, to my Dear Reader - Nightshade,

From your last review, you asked me to write a Christmas Special about the Turtles giving Alora the best Christmas ever. It sounded like an excellent idea and I was planning on creating one, but since it's so very close to Christmas, and I haven't finished part 4 of the episode I'm writing on, I haven't really got any time to write one. I'm really sorry! I'm sure you were looking forward to reading a Christmas Special, but, as I explained earlier, I'm just feeling rather tangled up at the moment. This Holiday Season has been very hectic lately and I really would like to take a long breather from writing for a while, but I promise you that I will make a Christmas Special next year. I already planned on making a holiday episode in Season 2, right before the second Kraang invasion, yet I don't know how long that'll be, but I'll make sure to write this all down as soon as possible. I hope you'll understand.

As always, thank you all for reading and I'll see you right after the New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
