I know I haven't told you guys prior to now, but this is the last chapter. Thanks to all who read this… and sorry for the terribly long hiatus… so yeah. Thanks to all who read and reviewed. Fairy Tale should be next after I finish Obsession.

Deidara cursed under his breath. He was almost sure that Tobi had wandered off somewhere while the fight began. Now he had to keep three things on his mind; The fight, Hinata, and the now-missing Tobi. God, can't that idiot stay in one place for over an hour!? He quickly made a clay bird and threw it into the air, making it explode to serve as a distraction. He had no idea where Sasuke was, but he was sure that he wasn't far.

"What the –!?" Sasuke protected his head with his arm and looked toward the place where the explosion came from and cursed when he felt cold metal press against his neck. "How long have we been at this, a day?" Deidara sighed in a bored tone. "I'm hungry – I hope Tobi went out to get McDonald's or something…" Sasuke growled. "Why…" he said in a low tone.

"Why? I thought I said – I'm hungry—" Deidara was cut off by Sasuke's sudden yell. "No! Why don't you just end it here and now!?" Deidara shrugged. "You came here for revenge, right? I just thought you'd try a little harder if you really wanted it, you know?" he backed away a bit and jumped into the nearest tree, disappearing from sight. Sasuke turned around, looking for him.

Deidara caught a glimpse of where the sun was. It was almost noon, he thought. He was getting really hungry. It wasn't healthy to be fighting and hungry. He sighed quietly. Tobi, if you're out there, I'd like a Big Mac and large fries.

-:-

Hinata blinked and sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Ah, you're awake. I'm glad." Sasori's voice came from beside her. He looked like he just woke up as well. Hinata yawned, trying to remember what happened before she 'fell asleep'. She was in the middle of an important conversation, as she recalled. An important conversation… Hinata squeaked, turning red with embarrassment. "S-Sasori!" she started. Sasori stared at her. "Hm?" he was slightly amused at her flustered look.

"D-D-Did I f-faint on you while we were t-talking!?" she stammered, a frantically apologetic look on her face. Sasori stared at her for a little longer before smiling. "Yeah, but that's okay. We weren't talking about anything important." He waved a hand dismissively in the air. "B-But… it was terribly rude of me! I'm sorry!" Hinata put a hand over his. "Have you figured out what you have to say to Deidara yet?" he asked.

Hinata looked downward. "No… No I haven't…" she sounded sad. "Okay. I hope you find out soon." Sasori kissed her cheek. "Yeah… Thanks…" Sasori studied her for a few minutes. She looked down, no doubt about that, her cheeks were tinted pink, and her eyes had a distant look in them. She was thinking again.

… Whenever Sasori's around… I can't think straight… he's like a giant reset button on my brain… it's just so… overwhelming…

Sasori stood up, kissing her head. "Well… why don't we go see what Deidara's doing right now, hm?" he offered his hand to her, and she took it. "I hope he's alright." Hinata said as they transferred themselves to ask God where he was (he still could've moved from where he was, you know. Deidara, I mean.)

No, he hasn't moved the battle from where you last saw him. He's still looking forward to seeing you again, Hinata. He thought ahead and decided to stay put until he saw you. God told them. Hinata blushed. "He… still wants to see me? Even when he's supposed to be fighting… and focused on the battle…" she felt a little happy and a little worried at the same time. Now, I warn you, he's not in the best condition to be in, so don't be surprised when you see him, alright? I'm sure Sasori knows what I mean. God nodded to Sasori. He nodded back. He's badly hurt, isn't he? He thought, glancing at Hinata.

So now, I'll take you guys to where he is.

In a few seconds Sasori and Hinata were in the same clearing as they were yesterday. Hinata saw Sasuke in the center of it, looking around for Deidara. "Where's Deidara?" she asked Sasori. "He's hiding from him. Either he's that badly wounded or…" he trailed off. "'Or'?" Hinata looked at him. "…He's hungry." Hinata stared at him as he nodded. "He's probably hungry." He said to himself.

Hinata slowly floated towards the tree where she saw Deidara. He seemed to be sleeping in the tree. Sasori shook his head. "Honestly, Deidara… falling asleep in the middle of a battle…" he leaned close to Deidara's face, then suddenly drew back and head-butted Deidara into the tree. "WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!!" he yelled. Hinata jumped in surprise, watching as Deidara's head was pounded into the tree. Deidara opened his eyes and rubbed the sore spot behind his head. "Owie…" he said a little too loudly.

Sasuke heard him and immediately threw a kunai in the direction of the sound. It whizzed through Hinata and hit the tree right beside Deidara's head. "Eep." He quickly got out of the tree and landed on the ground. "Hinata! I'll talk to you in a little bit, okay?" Deidara looked back up to the tree and grinned at Hinata. She waved timidly at him. "Get back to the battle, dumbass!" Sasori shouted at him. Deidara huffed, turning back to Sasuke.

"Is Hinata in that tree?" he asked in a low voice. Deidara nodded, yawning a bit. "Yeah. Can't keep a woman waiting, so can we speed this up a bit?" he reached into his pouch full of clay and made a clay bird. "Alrighty, I'll start." He threw the clay bird at Sasuke. It exploded.

-:-

Neji walked home, a strange feeling filling his chest. He felt… happy. Just a little, but it was a start. It felt weird to smile wide, so he kept a small one in his pocket. He opened the door to the house and walked into the kitchen, hoping for an after school snack.

"Hey, mom." He greeted, sitting at the table. "Hello, Neji. How was schoo—" Neji jumped a little when he heard a pan drop from Mrs. Hyuga's hands. "Mom?" Neji moved to pick up the fallen pan and put it 

back onto the stove. He noticed his mother had tears in her eyes. "Mom!?" Neji put a hand on her shoulder as she began to cry. "Neji… Oh, Neji! I can't believe it!" she sobbed, hugging him tightly. He turned a light pink, slowly hugging her back. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Mrs. Hyuga wiped her eyes and held Neji's hands tightly. "Neji, dear, you're smiling!" she exclaimed happily. Neji's smile grew a little more. It felt good to make his mother happy like that. "Oh, Neji!" she hugged him tightly again. "It's been so long since I've seen you smile! I'm so… I'm so glad!" Hiashi walked into the kitchen, wondering what all the commotion was about. Neji noticed him and smiled. Surprised, he smiled in return. "It's great to have you back, son." He said softly, moving to bring his son into a tight hug.

--

"He kissed you?" Rock Lee asked. TenTen nodded, blushing a little. "And… H-He smiled a little, too. And he took the razor from my pocket!" she huffed at that part. Lee laughed a bit. "Wow. That's unexpected. Wish I could've seen that." There was a short pause. "Do you like him?" he asked. TenTen was about to say no, but stopped herself. "I… Yeah. I guess." She smiled at the thought. "That's cool. When're you two gonna hook up then?"

TenTen punched Lee in the gut.

-:-

Hinata picked the worst time to get lost in her thoughts. While she was watching Deidara fight Sasuke, she realized that he was getting tired – and quickly, too. There was a strong chance that Sasuke might win. But… if Deidara lost, then that would mean that Sasuke killed him. And she didn't want that. She didn't want them fighting at all. What was a girl to do?

"Hinata." Sasori's voice brought her out of her thoughts, probably to be forgotten about later. "Hm?" she looked at him. "I think… Deidara's going to lose the fight." He looked at Deidara and then back to Hinata. "What makes you think that?" she asked, watching Deidara carefully. The way he walked was obvious. The multiple cuts and the exhaustion on his face was a dead giveaway as well. "Soon… he's going to get desperate… and then he'll use that technique just to win."

'That' technique? What is he talking about? Hinata stared at him. "'That'?" Sasori looked like he didn't want to answer. Like what he was going to say next would scare her. And it would. "You know how he uses those clay birds as bombs to attack?" he started. Hinata nodded. "Well… he told me about this once – he said that when he absolutely needed to, he'd eat the clay and use himself as the bomb. He told me that the explosion would kill everything within a ten kilometer radius of where he was. It was powerful, and he'd be sure that his opponent couldn't escape."

Hinata gasped. "But… W-Wouldn't that mean…" she stared at him with worry in her eyes. Sasori nodded. "If there's anything he hates more than being hungry, it's losing. He'd do anything just to ensure a victory."Hinata watched Deidara more closely now, thinking even harder than before on what she needed to say to him. If what Sasori told her was true, then he'd die. And that would mean that she'd never be able to make him hear what she had to say.

She felt Sasori grab her arm. "I'll go ahead, okay?" he said suddenly. "Huh?" Hinata was pulled into a short kiss before she saw Sasori go down to Deidara. "What are you…?" she followed him.

Deidara was currently blocking Sasuke's sword with a kunai. He looked like he was having a hard time, too.

"Deidara." Sasori called. "Kinda busy… what is it!?" Deidara growled. "You remember that sock you lost a few weeks back?" Deidara glared at him from the corner of his eye. "Well…"

Hinata realized what Sasori was going to do. He was going to tell Deidara what he had to say and pass on before she did. "Ah… W-Wait…" she tried saying. But it was no use. Something was holding her voice back. Somehow, she knew that after Sasori told Deidara, he'd pass on before her, and she'd be alone.

"It's behind the dryer."

"Wait!" Hinata finally managed to say. But it was already too late. Sasori turned around and smiled at her. "S-Sasori!" she reached for him, but her hand sifted through him. He started floating up to the sky while Hinata stayed down below. "I'll see you in heaven, okay, Hinata?" he waved to her briefly before looking up towards where he was heading to.

"Wait…" Hinata stared after him, tears in her eyes. Sasori disappeared from sight.

Deidara was looking upward, too. "Where did he…?" his attention was back on Sasuke when he felt him apply more pressure to the sword. "Deidara…" Hinata looked worriedly at him. "Hinata, don't you have to find Sasori or something?" Deidara glanced at her for a split second before jumping back from Sasuke. Though he disliked not seeing her, she had to leave him to the fight. "I-I can't. He… He left." Hinata felt weird using the term 'pass on' suddenly. "Hinata, I'm a little busy. Could you just… go somewhere else for an hour or so? Please?" he looked at her with a stern look. "But…" Hinata started to protest. "Please. Hinata." Now his look was more of a glare.

Hinata reluctantly swayed towards the trees. "Don't die." She whispered before disappearing into the woods.

-:-

Sasori sighed. He looked up at the bright light and then back down to Earth. From where he was, he could see the Akatsuki base a few miles away from where Deidara was fighting. He was going to miss the puppets he made there. His eyes drifted towards the town of Sunagakure, which was quite a long distance from where he was, but still visible. He'd miss his hometown, too. Then his eyes settled on the bright light once again.

"I'm going to miss everything." He said to himself. "I'm going to miss… Hinata." Slowly he began to walk into the light and closed his eyes.

As he walked, a calming feeling went over him. This feels… nice. He decided. Then, he thought, I'll find Hinata here soon. Very soon.

-:-

Hinata stayed in a tree near the clearing, crying to herself. Sasori had passed on without her, and now she felt terribly lonely. She was the only dead person she knew now. Well, besides her grandmother, but she hasn't seen her at all. Her thoughts wandered to Sasuke. He said he loved her. I'm sorry, Sasuke… I didn't realize until now… and now was too late. She felt bad that Sasuke had to go through the death of someone he loved – though, his entire family was a huge sword through his gut, but losing someone he's had a crush on? To her, that would be absolutely unbearable.

And Deidara… he's about willing to kill himself to get a victory in a battle… a battle that she knew was her fault… "Oh…" Hinata rubbed her eyes. But now… now that Sasori passed on, he wasn't there to restart her brain every time she thought of something. So now she could think of one thing and continue to think about it for as long as she could. Hinata cheered herself up with this. She decided to think hard about what she wanted to say to Deidara – before it was too late.

Alright… so… what have I been regretting while I was alive? She knew many things were under that category. So she narrowed it down to what she regretted that involved Deidara, and things would narrow down on their own.

…I took that apple from him at lunch one time… he got mad at poor Naruto for no reason…

I accidentally punched him one time in PE and didn't get a chance to say sorry…

I feel bad for calling him a dummy… even though they're one of my favorite lollipops… (AN: Lol make sex joke right now)

Maybe I should've listened to him while he was reading his report on his family… even though it was a bull-faced lie.

I should've treated him better… I should've let him borrow my manga when he asked – and drew the drawings he requested from me ages ago – I should've been a better person to him more than anyone else!

I was supposed to be his best friend! I needed to be there for him when he needed me! I wanted to be at his side even if he didn't need me! I wanted to be by his side because… because…!

"I love him!" she gasped. That was the thing she wanted – no, needed to tell him! At the date he took her on before he killed her… what she wanted to say all along was 'I love you, Deidara!!'. When he interrogated her about what guy she liked in the class she should have said 'I like you most of all!' because she really, truly did! It seemed so obvious now that she realized!

She didn't care if he didn't like her back! He needed to know!

"D-Deidara—!" Hinata inhaled.

"H… Hinata?" someone croaked from behind her. She gasped and turned, leaning to look on the other side of the tree. Deidara was sitting there, clutching a huge wound in his stomach. Hinata was at his side at once, trying to figure out what to do. "I… I underestimated him… that Sasuke kid…" Deidara made a sound similar to a laugh. "Do you know how awful clay tastes? Ugh, disgusting. But… I've gotta win… I have to…" he continued. Hinata put her hand over his; ignoring the fact that she couldn't really touch him. He looked at her and noticed her worried face. He smiled a little.

"Deidara… I need to tell you something." Hinata said, her voice cracking a little. She knew Deidara was going to die soon, and she was thankful that she knew what she wanted to tell him in time, even if it was a few seconds before too late.

"Well… first of all… I was the one who took your apple at lunch that one time." She blushed a little from embarrassment. Deidara chuckled softly. "And… I'm sorry I didn't apologize to you when I punched you in PE that other time." She continued. "Didn't feel a thing…" Deidara assured her. "Also, I feel bad for calling you a dummy a few months back… though, dummies are my favorite kind of lollipop…" Hinata began to laugh a little at that. But her face turned serious again. "I should have listened to you better… I should have been nicer to you instead of everyone else. I should have drawn those drawings you wanted me to… I should have been a better friend." Deidara was about to protest, but stopped when he saw a tear escape her eye. "But most of all… the thing I regret telling you the most is…" Hinata raised her head to look at him.

"I love you, Deidara." She carefully moved his hand up to touch her face. "I love you so much. I'm sorry… I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you." She sobbed. Deidara summed up all his strength to cup her face. "I'm sorry I didn't say it first." He smiled at her. "I love you too, Hinata." Hinata smiled at him through her tears.

Deidara heard Sasuke approaching, and his face turned back to serious. "Hinata. I'm going to see you soon. I'm gonna win this fight, even if it kills me." He looked at Hinata. "N-No… Y-You can't… don't…" she whispered. "Over winning, I want to be able to touch you… hug you, kiss you… and the only way I can do that is…" Hinata shook her head. "You're in bad enough conditions as it is! Live as long as your beating heart lets you!" Deidara leaned up and gently pecked her lips. "I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do." He said finally, performing the hand seal that made his clay explode.

"Katsu."

-:-

Deidara saw a bright light when he woke up. He immediately walked toward it. He stopped when a deep booming voice came from above him.

Deidara.

Thinking that it would be polite to respond, Deidara said, "Uh… Yes?"

Welcome. I am God…

-:-

"Hello?"

"Hey, TenTen?"

"Neji? Hey, what's up?"

"I was just wondering…"

"Hm?"

"Do you want to go out sometime? Like… I don't know, this Saturday or something?"

"Huh… I don't know…"

"…"

"I'm kidding! Of course I would!"

"That's great. I'll see you later."

"Yeah."

"Oh, and TenTen?"

"Uh-huh?"

"I love you."

"… I love you too, Neji."

-chuckle- "Alright. Bye."

"B-Bye."

-:-

After formally apologizing for the many sins he had committed while he was alive (and changing into a suit so that he wouldn't have to wear those tattered and torn battle clothes), Deidara was let into Heaven. At once he started looking for Hinata. He asked God for help, and he told her to look in the park. Deidara nodded. …But… where's the park?

Just keep going straight. You'll find it. You'll find her. God responded. Deidara grinned, running even faster than he was before until he saw a sign that said 'Park' in front of a dark green gate. He tore through the gate, and ran to the fountain in the middle. He looked around the not-so-crowded square until finally his gaze settled on a familiar blue-haired girl sitting at a bench on the other side of the fountain. She was reading.

"Hinata…" he breathed. Quickly, he ran toward her. She didn't notice him until he closed the book for her and pulled her to stand up. Surprised, she gasped. "Hinata." Deidara grinned at her. "Deidara… Deidara!" Hinata squealed as realization hit her. Her arms wrapped around him tightly. He couldn't contain his excitement, so he started twirling her around. "I can't believe I'm here right now!!" he shouted. Hinata laughed.

Finally he stopped twirling her around. He stared into her eyes and she stared back. "You made it…" she whispered, smiling. She rested her head on his chest, but he tilted her head up to look at him. He leaned down and kissed her. He was glad he could actually feel it this time. When they parted, he kept her face close to his. "I love you." He whispered, his lips meeting hers again. "I love you, too." Hinata managed in between kisses. She giggled as he moved to her cheek and trailed to her ear. He laughed a little too.

They heard a sound behind them, so they turned around.

"Hey." Sasori waved to them, smiling. "Sasori!" Deidara and Hinata exclaimed in surprise. "You two are already getting it on, aren't you? At least get a room before that, alright?" Sasori teased, laughing at their blushing faces. "I'm kidding." He looked at their still blushing faces and felt worried for a second. "Uh… I'm sorry?" he stayed silent for a minute.

"SO! Anyway, where are you staying, Hinata? Maybe you live close to me." Sasori changed the subject awkwardly. Hinata opened up first. "Oh, I don't live all that far from here. One block from here, actually. I'll take you guys there, if you want." She offered, trying to walk with Deidara still clinging to her. They arrived there pretty quickly, and it was when Hinata opened the door that Deidara finally let go of her.

It was a small house, but still enough to fit at least two or three people. Hinata's iPod was playing from speakers from the living room, and the light in the hallway was on. "So… do you like it?" Hinata asked, closing the door behind them. Deidara nodded in approval. "I'm so moving in with you." He said. Hinata giggled. "How about you, Sasori?" she asked. "As much as I'd love to live here, I'm already living with my grandma over on the other side of the block." Sasori sighed. "Oh well." He heard Deidara snicker behind him. "The only reason I'm not beating you up right now is because I don't want to go to Hell." Sasori glared at him.

The three spent time talking to each other in the living room, laughing and joking around until nightfall in heaven came. Sasori headed back home, leaving Deidara and Hinata all alone.

"Hinata…?" Deidara started. "Hm?" Hinata looked at him, smiling a little. "I'm really sorry that I killed you." He said softly, holding her hand. "Are we back to that again?" Hinata asked, scooting closer to him on the couch. Deidara bit his lower lip. He felt that he made it awkward between them for bringing it up again. "I just don't think I've really apologized. And I don't really feel like I've been forgiven, either." He looked at her with a serious look. She pouted. "Of course I forgive you! How could you ever think differently?" she asked. Deidara looked sad for a second before returning to serious. He stared at her for a long while until she spoke.

"You know…" she started. His look softened a bit. "I always thought that even Heaven wasn't perfect. You want to know why?" she asked, taking his hand and studying it idly. Deidara nodded. "Well… it was because… the people I loved wouldn't be there with me." She pressed her lips together and looked at him. "But… somewhere in the back of my mind… it told me that I didn't want my loved ones in heaven yet… because it would mean that they had died…" her fingers interlaced with his. "But now I'm having second thoughts about that. Having someone you love with you in Heaven… isn't all that bad." Deidara's other hand found hers; he leaned closer to her. She kept leaning back, teasing him.

"I'm glad you think that way. The only reason I did that last move versus Sasuke was because of you. I wanted to be able to touch you, even just for a second before I went to Hell." He kept leaning to her until she was completely lying down on the couch. "But God had mercy on me… and let me spend the rest of my afterlife with you. And now I'm here, telling you this, holding your hand." He pressed her hand against his cheek. "And you've never felt softer." He kissed her hand and trailed down her arm until he reached her lips.

"I can't believe I've never kissed you when you were alive." He sighed, his lips brushing against her neck. "We almost did…" Hinata said, her hand feeling over his chest. "When?" Deidara asked, pulling away to look at her. "At that one dance… the one after you asked me what guy I liked in class… it was a slow song, and we got closer like this…" Hinata leaned up to him until their lips were almost touching. Deidara was about to kiss her, but she leaned away just before he did. "…but the song ended too soon. And we pulled away blushing like crazy. I could see you from across the room when you walked away." Hinata giggled.

"We can slow dance on the couch…" Deidara offered huskily, smirking. "But I'm afraid it wouldn't be called dancing." His breath tickled her ear. She shivered a little. "Maybe later. When I find an outfit that's easier to move in." Hinata laughed at his pouty look. "Hey, at least later means that we'll get to it eventually." She shrugged. Deidara sighed. "Fine…" The two stayed in that position until they eventually fell asleep.

Epilogue: A Simple Yes Would Do

"You may now kiss the bride…" the priest said, closing the book he was holding. Neji leaned towards TenTen and gently pecked her on the lips. After, cheering and clapping was heard, and the two smiled as the many cameras started taking pictures of them.

Hinata sighed happily. "I'm so happy for you, Neji!" she said to the TV she was watching. Deidara was sitting beside her, his arm around her. "Took him long enough." He said. Hinata giggled, leaning on Deidara's shoulder. He looked at her and kissed her head. "Hey… do you know if you can get married here in heaven?" he asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. Fortunately, Hinata didn't get the hint. "I 

don't know… why? You know someone who wants to get married here?" she asked, looking up at him. Deidara laughed at her obliviousness.

"I wanna marry you, silly." He said, kissing her head. Hinata blushed. "W-Well… I g-guess you can… I-I mean… It is Heaven…" she tried her best to sound calm. But on the inside, her heart was pounding out of her chest. "U-Um… Oh…" she covered her face from embarrassment. "D-Do you have a ring?" she asked, looking at him through her fingers. Deidara stiffened for a second. Apparently he didn't. But he suddenly felt something appear in his hand. He opened his hand to reveal a small velvet box; he smiled, looking up.

"Actually… Yes." He held out the ring for Hinata to see. She gasped, her hands moving over her heart to try to get it to calm down. She knew it was useless. "Wh-When did you –" she was interrupted when Deidara kissed her. "Will you marry me?" he asked, smiling at her bashful face. He waited patiently for her answer, watching with an amused look as she thought about her answer with many facial expressions. Finally she decided to stay at embarrassed. She took a deep breath and looked him straight in the eye. "I do."

Deidara stared at her. 'Will you marry me?' 'I do'? he started giggling uncontrollably. Hinata hit him gently. "That was a mess-up! Ask me again!" she told him. Deidara nodded, a huge grin on his face.

"Will you marry me?"

"S-Sure!!"

Her urgency made him laugh again. "Ooh! Ask me again!" she ordered him. His grin was as wide as ever.

"Will you marry me?"

"O-Okay!"

He was almost busting his gut trying not to laugh. Hinata could see that. "I'm sorry! Ask me again!" she was searching for the right reaction to this.

"Will you be my Queen, Princess Hinata?" he said this in such a charming voice that Hinata fainted. And then, Deidara laughed at her reaction once again.

When she woke up Deidara was on top of her on the bed. "Sorry… did I go too far with that Princess Hinata joke?" he asked apologetically, looking worriedly at her. Hinata blushed. "N-No! I-I… I actually liked it… it's just that… I'm not used to that kind of treatment, you know?" she laughed a little, looking away from awkwardness. He moved her head so that she was looking straight at him. His serious look melted into a playful smile.

"A simple 'Yes' will do." Deidara said. Hinata blushed again, this time a darker shade of red. "Now, Will you marry me?" he asked. Hinata opened her mouth to say something, but the words were late to come out. But when they did, they came out in the cutest version of her voice that Deidara had ever heard. "…Yes."

"Okay. Yes was all I wanted to hear." He kissed her passionately, his arms wrapping around her, crushing her to his body. "I love you, Deidara." She whispered when they parted. "I love you, too."

In case you haven't noticed… the Epilogue was a few years later.

And… I'm sorry that all I have to say is 'I'm sorry' for everything that I have to say 'I'm sorry' for. So I'll make a list:

I'm sorry that…

-:- I had such a long Hiatus on this story
-:- The updates I put up probably didn't make sense
-:- I didn't directly put in SasuHina or Grandma Chiyo
-:- I didn't put much back plot on Sasori
-:- or Deidara
-:- Or the Hyugas
-:- And TenTen and Rock Lee
-:- And that angel God was talking to about Hinata's love story.
-:- And I'm sorry that I couldn't make the story longer.

So now that that's out of the way… thanks to all who read and to all who reviewed! Those reviews put food on the table, you know! (lol not really) so thank you times infinity for reading my story!
