EPILOGUE

Katie stretched and ran her fingers through her short, burgandy hair causing it to spike up (that's right, my hair now matches the upholstry in my car). Finally, after three months, the story was done. In part she felt extremely sad that it was all coming to an end. This project had taken a large part of her life and concentration to complete. And yet she also felt glad that it was done just because of the sheer exhaustion of it all. She stretched again and with a sigh reached down and clicked her mouse to submit the final part of her story.

Her thoughts drifted back to when she first began her story, she had never thought it would escalate into something like this. And now, 39 chapters, 224 pages and over 460 reviews later, she felt she had really accomplished something. Never before had she written something this long, let alone finish a story she started. She saw it as a breakthrough for herself.

Katie logged off and stood up, stretching once more. It was late and she was more than ready to sink into her bed and sleep like a rock for the next seven hours. She got changed into her pajamas and lay down, her story flashing behind her eyes as she fell asleep.

Sunlight filtered in across her face. Katie let out a groan and snuggled deeper under her blankets, forever thankful that it was Sunday and she could sleep in. She leaned back against her body pillow and her body pillow draped an arm comfortably around her waist while sighing blissfully into her hair. Katie froze for a fraction of a second before screaming and scrambling out of bed, making sure to kick the owner of the arms as much as possible. Katie gasped when she saw the scarred face of a teenage boy gawking back at her. The face quickly contorted into rage as the boy clambered out of her bed. But it wasn't her bed, and this wasn't her room. Katie grabbed one of the broadswords hanging from the wall and held it out like a baseball bat. It only took a second for the familiarity of this to sink in.

"Aw shammit."

FIN

I hoped you liked it! Jeez, I can't get over how sad it is that my story is finally done. But now I can move on to other stories! Which reminds me, anybody who read the first chapter thinger of "Phantom" I must apologize. The Administration deleted it for reasons which are still unclear to me and I am fighting to get it back! Anyways, back to the sadness of being done with this story. Thank you all so much for being behind me all this way, I never would have made it this far if it weren't for your encouraging reviews. I LOVE YOUR GUTS. I would go through and mention every single person that ever reviewed, but I'm just too lazy. And for those of you who read but never did review, I love you as well. And it's not too late to still drop a kindly word. If you have an account here I can still give you a reply even if it isn't the same as a shoutout.

Another thing, a few have asked about a sequel. No. I'm not doing a sequel. But if anybody out there really wants to, feel free to write a continuation of my story! I would love to see where other people could take this. Any of my plot and any of my characters (including me) are now open to the public so long as you remember where they came from and please let me know so I can feel all proud and fuzzy. Also, I would still love to see fanart if anybody has some. I've finally gotten my pictures up on my computer and now have my own deviant account although I haven't been able to figure out how to post my pics (so my relationship with that site might not even work out at all). When or if I do, I will post a link on my profile page, so keep your eyes peeled. Speaking of my profile page, I've given it a makeover! There's really not anything new, but check it out anyways if you want. Anyhoo, If you are too impatient to wait for me to post them and really want to see my pics, drop me an email and I'll forward them to you! While we're on the subject of email. If anybody just wants to chator if you need advice or anything, my mailbox is open!

Now…my final shoutout (sniffsobsnort)

Elenea Galad: Thank you so much! (bows back) hmm, what does "Tenna ento lye omenta" mean? It sounds pretty, is it insulting ;-)

Katara183: Wow, I think you're one of the few who have been reviewing since the very first chapter. Thank you so much. And that poem was really pretty. (sniff) it sounds like someone's died!

1bzwriter: Sentimentality rocks. I'm just so glad my story had this kind of an affect. Thank you.

Plutobably494: Thank you so much! You're sweet too!

Newsifreak9er9er: I'm glad that you loved it! But alas, no sequel. If you want to write one though, then feel free.

Zukoscute2: Hee hee. Your schizophrenia always makes me laugh. Thank you for your luverly reviews.

Lovergal1227: I would love it if you did that! You're my hero! Thanks for being around for this for so long!

Serori: Thank you so much for all of your kindness.

Khazia: I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, Chanta is nuts. She actually moved to Nephi last year (sob, I miss her guts) but I just couldn't help but bring her back here in my fic. YAY! I would love it if you came and visited. Unfortunately I don't trust you and will never agree to meet people I met on the Internet. JK. I luv ya!

Fyreflower: YOU'RE FRIGGEN AWESOME TOO! Unfortunately, this is the end of the story.

xTommyxSx: Thank you once again for your wonderful email. And yes, the ending was a bit corny, wasn't it? I just didn't know what else to write and "They lived happily ever after" just seemed to fit. Thanx again.

Seethingxshadows: That's why I have an epilogue! To make my story an even 40 chappies. And to answer your question about Rado, I figure he's like a cat. Those buggers have been known to live for over twenty years. That is unless they live around my house. (sob) I MISS YOU PROFESSOR FLUFFY PANTS!

hppartygirl: hey, I love pickles too! You're my hero.

Randomwriter88: Aw, I'm glad you liked it. I will have to email ya! In fact, I'll go do that right now!

Fritters-4-Psi: Yup, my story is done. And if it went on forever my brain would look like a sponge that has been wrung dry. I'm glad that my fic had such an affect on ya!

Evangline Angel: Wow! I was so touched by the Super long review of Death that I really don't know what to say. That just really made me feel all happy and fuzzy! But I have to confess, when I started the whole idea was to hook myself up with a hot main character (sob) I'M SO PATHETIC! But seriously, I'm glad you liked it and I really hope to see you do one of these fics someday.

I would also like to thank all my regular reviewers who haven't reviewed for that last chapter yet. I LOVE YOU ALL!
