AUTHORS NOTE: I would like to apologize for the lack of updates. I was going to put up my next chapter today, but something happened. Practically ALL of my work was gone. All these funny looking symbols showed up instead. I'm quite upset about it. If anyone knows why this happened and doesn't mind explaining it to me, I would appreciate it. I promise to have the next chapter done ASAP. (Hopefully by Sunday or Monday night.) Thanks for all your patience. Oh, and thank you to all the reviewers . I promise to give shout-outs in the next chapter. =) I am now off to re-write what I lost. ::groans:: This should be a very long night. ________________________________________________________________________
