WARNING… This is not a new chapter…
It's an Author Notes by the Masked Phantom herself…
She steps in wearing an apron and holding a duster in her hand…
Looking pretty disappointed…
"Sorry… I can't really get on with the story for the moment…" (sighs)
"My mother wants me to clean up my room and help out in cleaning the house since… I'm somewhere in between my holidays…" (Points to a really untidy room, books and boxes piling all over…)
"Sniff… I really love the room I'm in… but why can't she understand?" (sighs again)
"She's being nagging at me to quit writing and start helping out… but I can't disappoint allmy faithful readers who had R&R…"
(Gives audiences a determined look…)
"But don't worry I'll be back updating and writing like I never did to satisfy all you people… and it's a promise…"
"I give my many thanks to all who had been reading & reviewing the updates… and even though I can't find the time to sit and type, I'll still check on the happenings at and the Message Board at the Sh22 fansite and perhaps post some short messages…"
The Masked Phantom gives a bow before them and she continues dusting her room…
The scene darkens to show these words before the viewers' screen:
"I Shall Return…"
