It's a disguised author's note chapter. 'Kay?

"How much longer are we going to have to wait for this JB per—"
Artemis was stopped before he could finish the sentence. The room froze, as if time had stopped. Time had indeed stopped.
Ria blinked. "Why'd you stop talking, vampire boy?"
It seemed Ria was not affected by the time stop. And judging by Katrina's confused look, and the fact that she was screaming, neither was she.
"Wha—But—" Katrina and Ria protested.
A girl appeared out of nowhere. She walked up to Katrina.
"Read this out loud," she said, shoving a paper into Katrina's hand.
Katrina gave her a confused look, and started reading.
"To my dear readers, I'm afraid that I will have to put this fanfiction on hiatus."
"What's a hiatus?" Ria interrupted.
Katrina rolled her eyes and started reading again. "Thanks to time constraints and never-ending writer's block—"
Ria interrupted again. "CAN YOU AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?"
The girl gave an exasperated sigh. "I created you, and I can't trust you to keep quiet for this message?"
"Huh?"
"Fine," she said, frowning. "You're obviously not any good for dictating this message, and if I let Katrina do it you'll just keep on interrupting. Artemis!"
"—on?" Artemis completed his sentence, and looked around to discover the time-stop in progress. "What's all this about?"
"Artemis," the girl snarled. "Read this, you useless mud boy." She snatched the paper out of Katrina's hands.
Artemis gave her a wary look, and started reciting.
"To my dear readers, I am afraid I will have to put this fanfiction on hiatus. My life has simply become too busy for me to update regularly, and I promise that I shall create more chapters soon. I am sorry for the inconvenience, and hope that you enjoyed People Stuck In A Box. I thank you all for reviewing, it means so much to me. Hopefully you'll forgive me for putting this story on hold."
Artemis stopped reading, and looked at the girl.
"How tacky and sentimental. You really think that's the best way to leave a parting note to your readers?"
The girl gave him a truly foul look and grabbed the paper away.
"I was in a hurry. Anyway, now that that's done, you can go back to suspended motion. Back to your original positions, all of you."
Katrina, Ria and Artemis grudgingly went back to their seats.
The girl smiled. "There we go. Back to time stop in five… four... three… two… Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention."
She gave them all a stern look. "You will not remember any of this. This has nothing to do with the plot."
Katrina and Ria nodded meekly. Artemis just rolled his eyes.
"Okay, that's settled. TIME STOP YA GO!" she yelled.
And so the scene froze again, leaving everyone but the author of the fanfiction frozen in a timeless state.
"Oh, yeah!" She muttered to herself, suddenly realizing something. "I can just disregard this chapter happened when I write the next chapter. Silly me!"
And laughing softly, she disappeared from the control room in a snap.
