Hey guys here I am updating the maybe four days early but I think I get a chance after today after review for exams and then I have exams that week…so I've been busy… Sorry for the last update, I know it freaked a lot of you guys out.  I really didn't mean to… It's just that that's my big twist, and it's meant to be surprising. This chapter may confuse some of you, because they contain several inside jokes, which you will probably not .get…but it was originally written it for Amanda.  It involves myself and my two other friends…I'm Maeve, by the way…that's why my pen name is Queen of Connaught…Maeve was an ancient Celtic Queen in Connaught Ireland… well now that I've bored you I will keep the month you with my might weird history lesson… I just forgot to mention my name… thank you for everyone who reviewed…I have 167 now, which is 11 more than last time, and it', why I am updating early so keep up the good work, and I'll try to continue to update sooner… I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I'll stop boring you with my elongated comments.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed:

PrincessAlyce16: It was supposed to be a bit sad… the events beforehand were fast but I'm getting up to my climax in the next chapter so the before paragraph didn't really matter it's just filling the gap…glad you liked it… I'll read your fic as soon as I get a chance…and in the meantime would you please read mine and tell me what you think… I really value your opinion… thanks.

Lady Rhian Knightmage: I thought that have moved to me before with the author update reading its cool because you end up reading more than you thought you could  ... it was my sisters birthday couple days ago so was taken our house two but she doesn't like a icing…so it wasn't that tasty… I've never heard of what you said my sic was like…as for Numair…you'll have to wait and see…in the meantime…review…

Treanz-Alyce: Well…here is your name…at the top of the page... like you wanted it… I'm glad you liked the first chapter and the second one obviously freaked you out so very much…but it will get better… I promise but I won't tell you in which way …you'll have to read to find out (and of course review…which I hope you'll do after you read this chapter) thanks…

Witchblood13: Yes it was sad…but it will get better … but once again…I can't tell you how it does (whether not they get back together) though I admit I started to like them together too… this is the one more you wanted…but the next one may not come for another week and a half or so… so if you really want more, you could reread the other chapters of you wanted or read my songfic or something along those lines… I doubt you really need to… but don't worry the next chapter should be very long… so in the meantime review this one…

Anastazia Silverwind: Yes it was interesting… in fact that's my twist and what makes a plot not like the other normal ones…so keep reading if you want to see what I choose to do…and tell me how you see it…good or bad…

Aimee Damita: Sorry that was so upsetting… it was supposed to be dramatic but not make you that shocked... well I'm glad you liked it… and please read the next chapter and tell me how you like it… I did intend to make that part short because the whole point chapter was about her going home, it will get better and less dramatic so on…so read this one and tell me what you think about it…if you feel like it…thanks…

Wildmage101: I was just kidding…sorry… didn't mean to make you upset… I told the window they will and serve about wages doesn't seem to fit but I will think of a cool ending that you will not expect but it's a long way away I have to finish TSAU first…sorry you cried…I didn't mean to make you… so I'll see when Monday and you're right…exams do seem to ruin everything…as to not belonging... I never really have anywhere…so don't worry about it…miss you…see you Monday…

Milko01: No! It's not over yet…that would be a sad ending…though it does end soon…I will read when you update…at least I will try…so tell me what you think…and I'll see you next time…

Thanks again all of you…keep it up…now without any further ado…here is the chapter:

Home Again

Amanda opened her eyes, and sat up. She was back in her dorm at Amherst, she sat in the same chair as she had sat in so long ago, and she still held Wild Magic. She looked down at herself, and saw that she wore a T-shirt and jeans, and had no copper fire at her fingertips. The door opened, and in came Maeve, carrying bags of groceries, and stepping over the boxes they had begun to unpack.

"Hey Man," she said with a grin, putting the bags down and looking around the room with a sort of reverence. "Just think, he went to school here, he walked these halls, he could have lived in this dorm, he could have slept in this bed! " she flopped down on her own, and closed her eyes as if dreaming.

"I think I'll take the floor." drawled a voice behind her, and in walked Emily, carrying yet more food.  She walked over to the bed, and slapped Maeve on the leg. Maeve jumped, and Emily laughed, they had begun to discuss what their first classes would be like (I wonder what he majored in…?) when a third person walked in, it was Caroline. She strode over to Amanda who sat down next to her.

"You okay, Man?" she asked, "You look like you just saw a ghost."

Amanda looked up at her, her expression one of confusion. "I haven't gone at all, have I?" she asked

Caroline looked puzzled, "No…you wanted to stay here and unpack while we got food. I see you are still reading that book," she motioned to it. "Don't you think it's time you stopped dreaming about some made up guy?"

 Her words echoed again and again in Amanda's mind like a broken record. Some made up guy. They had not even noticed her leaving; no time had passed here in the year and a half she had spent in Tortall. She had not changed at all.

It must have been only a dream.

            That was dramatic…and oddly funny and practical…it is the first scene that I have written in our world…a real contrast to the rest of it…I have a surprise for you guys…though you may have been able to tell that it was winding down to the final climax…the next chapter will be the last one…and when it's one…all of my plots and twists will have wound down into a final conclusion, and it will all make sense then…if you can believe that…but I assure you that it is long…so far about 2500 words without comments ect…I think you guys will like it…you will almost certainly be shocked by it…and I think once you see it, all of the hints I have made over the past few chapters will fit together…and if I am not wrong…you guys who like this fic will like the ending…weather or not it is happy…so…anyway…review, review, review…and lets aim 175…seven more…I may not be able to update for a little bit due to the fact that I have examinations next week and I have to do some major studying…so I will try very hard to update by or on next Friday…but if I can't…I will definitely update by the Thursday after next… (The 22nd) but I think I will be able to by Friday…and if you review a lot…I will be more likely to earlier…(per usual…) so review, review, review…and I will see you then, with the final chapter of my story…

-Thanks,

-Queen of Connaught
