Hey Guys! Okay, first off I am so so so so so SO sorry for 2 (or more) things:

1) Sorry! This isn't a chapter this is just an AN Apology (SORRRY!)

2) And this is the main thing I'm going to say in this apology. I have not updated since November of 2013, and basically I haven't touched fanfiction since December, maybe January? But the point is, I am so sorry I haven't updated in A YEAR! I got really off track. Around the time I stopped updating (end of 2013), I was getting really busy with homework and essays in a new school, and I made a lot of excuses and stopped updating in my regular schedule. I eventually got really distracted and there were lots of complications that occurred and it was really stressful so I decided to focus on schoolwork again, and eventually everything was really a lot. So I stopped writing fanfiction for a while SORRY! But now it's summer, and summer has been a bit boring so I decided, why not write some fanfiction again?!

So yes, I WILL start writing these fanfictions again, I'm sorry I haven't updated :( and I know it is possible that many of you have lost interest in this fanfic as it has been almost a year? So I don't blame anyone but myself if no one wants me to update. But whether you're a returning reader or a new reader that thought that this story might be interesting, PLEASE PM me or review and tell me I should continue. I will definitely continue at least one to two chapter of each story, and if there are no reviews/PMs, I will 1) quit the story 2) give it out to another ff writer that's interesting 3) continue it.

Also, I am deciding to start over my story, A Mermaid Tale, I know and I'm really really sorry! But today and yesterday I was rereading my fanfictions and I noticed in all of my fanfictions, I didn't recognize my own writing style, so my writing style has also changed. However, I remember last summer I did try hard to make my story Back to Ireland the best, even though it wasn't the best. Also I really didn't want to give up on my other story Mermaids and Mermen. So I will redo A Mermaid Tale, and I'm sorry, again!

Please PM/Review if you have any suggestions for any of the stories! (This is going to be put up on my two stories and my profile).

ILYASM and I hope you enjoyed my story, and I'm currently writing new chapters for all 3.
