Authors Note

Hi Everyone!

Before I continue with "Leavin' On A Jet Plane", I would like to clear some things up.

First and formost, I LOVE Ugly Betty. It is one of my favorite shows and the fan base here and other sites are amazingly large. I love talking to and getting opinions and insights from people with different points of view on the many storylines of the show.

I started writing fan fiction just for the joy of writing and getting opinions back from others on how I could improve on my writing. Also I love the people that has the same opinions as me and liked reading about their favorite characters or couple. It's become one of my favorite hobbies, and a way to just de-stress from my crazy and busy life.

Now about this fic. Yes I know it is out of character for our Heroine and the others. I just had this thought and I wanted to just get it out there. I thought it was a unique idea about our favorite characters, and I didn't mean to make anyone angry with it. It's just fan fiction. You can do whatever you want and you call the shots on what you want to happen or how you want it to end. I thought it would be a nice twist to the very cryptic ending of this season, which left the rest to our imaginations.

I know that it is un like Betty to "have her cake and eat it too." as some had commented, but she's just trying to be a good friend, and just let her friend be happy. I know there no good way to "let someone down gently" and yes Gio would be hurt (sorry all you Gio fans! :( ), but I think if it actually happened in the show, I think Gio would forgive Betty, for he has become a very good friend to her, and they both value their friendship. He knows deep down that she still loves Henry, and its hard to let love die. Trust me I know.

I truely don't mean to offend or anger anyone who chooses to read this. This is just a way to kill time for the what seems like upcoming long wait until September when Ugly Betty will come back on for Season 3. I don't mean to sound rude here, but if you do not like this fic, please just read something else. I appreciate all comments that are made on this, but I feel bad with some of the comments I have getting on this story, and I feel like that this tale is not good with a lot of teh negatve comments I have been getting. I know everyone has their opinions and that some people (like myself) can get very shippy at times with comments and opinions, and I respect everyone's opinion on this, but with some of the comments I have been getting, it is like I am on some sites I have been avoiding becuase of the bashing. I know some of you do not mean to be mean and many of you do mean well, but some of them do just hurt and seems bashy to me. If you are going to bash, simply don't comment. It makes me feel bad, and it really doesnt do well when I am trying to keep this story going for those who do enjoy reading this. This is just the reason I turned this once one-shot into a multi-shot, so people wouldnt get confused and complain about the concept of this!

For those who enjoy reading this, Thank You! You guys are the reason this fic is still going and I aprreciate your positive reviews on this, no matter what ship you are! It keeps my morale up, and gives me the push to keep writing.

I am going to continue with this fic and I do plan on finishing it, no matter who likes this story or not. I am just a Nerd Lover, who wanted to add a little kick to the idea of Betty's desision. I did not mean to start a shipper war or bash-fest, I'm just trying to tell a story, a (what I think) unique and interesting story about them. Weither you support Henry, Gio, Daniel, or even someone else, we all have our opinions and we all can't wait till our favorite show comes back on in the fall. Till then, I am planning to keep on writing!

The next chapter will be up in a day or two.

Till then and thanks for reading,

-Bridget
