Lightning-Dono: It's time I brought this fanfic to an end. TT.TT I'm sorry to leave you all hanging, but never fear, I WILL WRITE A SEQUEL...The sequel should be called "Dissipating Sorrow", so if you see that fanfic floating around in the Harvest Moon section and in the description is says 'Sequel to Shattered Image', you know it's what you've been looking for.

Now, first things first. I'm SO glad that you guys helped me for this fanfic. You got me back up on my feet when I needed that support and I got through to 18 chapters, thanks to you. (This being the 19th, which really isn't a chapter) I love you all! Er, you know what I mean.

A special thanks to:

-Ann Fan - She read EVEERRRYYY chapter and reviewed them, and to my delight, I found that she also enjoyed them. Thank you SO much! If you're all reading this right now, I WANT you to read her fanfiction, okay? They're too awesome to be overlooked.

-A fan of harvest moon/fire emblem - You're awfully good at predicting my plans, but thanks for the advice! I'll try to be less predictable and such. Thank YOU for giving the advice that I needed along the way.

-Cassie - Your comments are fun to read! It's like a little snippit of what you like about the fic and how it affects you. xD You're awesome! You should make an account, okay? Promise me just that and I will be happy. oO;

-Evil Scientist - (Your username reminds me of Invader Zim. Anyhow...) You got me to focus on Rick and Karen's relationship, and look what happened! ((squeal)) Thank you for getting me back on track when I needed to, and best of luck on your fanfics!

-RuRu - I never answered your question. ;-; I've never played the one for N64, so I wouldn't know what Rick looks like there. If you visit my bio, there's a link to my site and if you can find it, there's a section with Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town screenies that I took myself.

-gabriele11 - I OWE MUCH TO YOU...As I do everyone else. Anyway, you told me what Rick's father's name is! You rock! Without you, Lilia would be blunt whenever it comes to what she would say to Rod.

NOW, I need your help. I SERIOUSLY do.

I've never known where Rick and Karen live after they are married, and if you can review here and tell me, I will forever be in debt to you...uh, forget that. BUT, I will love you forever! (Such a good bribe...) If no one knows, I have an idea, but first I want the straight facts, okay?

Meanwhile, read other people's fics, or mine if you're interested, and pay attention, because Lightning will strike back! xD

Love y'all!

--Lightning-Dono, your beloved...er...generous authoress that has been able to bring you this fanfic and a sequel that is in progress--
