Before anything else, I am tremendously sorry for just suddenly leaving like that. Some of you might have waited for an update, and what, it's been 3 years since then? I don't think I have much of an excuse other than me being irresponsible (and petty!) and me being a tad busy with school life.

I know this sudden 'update' may have lifted your hopes (I AM SO SORRY IF IT DID) and disappointed you all with an Author's Note, but I really plan on making it up to you all. So here's what I thought:

I need to fix the story before I go on and continue it. I mean, really, like, the WHOLE story- the plot, the sudden shift in perspectives (inconsistency), the grammatical errors, and the way I wrote. To clarify, I won't necessarily change the plot of the story. It's still going to be about Paigee and Luffy in the real world, but I may have to add what I feel the story lacked as it progressed. I can't forget character development and other important stuff. So point is, I'm going to make it better, yeah?

When I'm done with that, I'll slowly continue with the story again!

But here's another thing: I may transfer the 'better' version of the story to another account of mine. I just recently tried using that account again and well, I thought, since I was starting anew, I might as well use a different and newer account.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!

But you know, it feels really nice when people are somehow 'touched' by words I stringed together into stories. I'm really thankful to all of you!

I promise I'll be doing my best to try writing stories again, as lil-pundit. That's my new account. Here's the url: u/5713728

It's been 3 years already. I'm now 17 years-old (just turned 17 this month actually, lol) and hopefully, a better writer. Man, I was really surprised by my 'bubbly' personality evident from the old chapters xD Well, it's still me; just... less bubbly? Don't worry, I'm still eager to talk to you all again :) Life's been tough, y'know? I just graduated from Junior High this year. Going to 11th grade, I'm going to Senior High with 2 years before going to college. Yeah, I live in the Philippines so our school levels are a tad different.

Sorry and thank you all so much!
