Yeah, yeah…dang. There went that train of thought. =P

Allen: I know! I'll cheer ya up with a nice disclaimer! How does that sound? ^_^

But Allen, this isn't really…

Allen: *ahem* midnightoasis doesn't own Xenosaga or anything therein…but she can borrow me any time she wants! ^_~…Better?

*glomps Allen* Yay! My muse still wants to inspire me with stirring accounts of an inner child!!…or at least, my juvenile lil ramblings in the Author's Notes! =D

Anyway, I was plannin' on ending the fic here…partially due to a bout of writer's block. Couldn't get anything but calculus and chem. in or out of this brain o' mine…~_~

I appreciate how understanding all you are being. Well, I'll say out and out now that my aim for this is not a full-blown Shion/Allen romance…as of right now. I'm thinking more of a continuation of Allen's present life—and onwards from there.

So keep your eyes open over the next couple of weeks…Any new chapters will be a part of a separate story…I think Allen's ready for a little bit more of an optimistic title to his story.

Thank you for everything. Until next time mes amis…
