Epilogue

We knew it was real. It had to be. Otherwise we wouldn't remember the same things. Our parents wouldn't have cried when we got home. Our pajamas would still fit; Dad and Sandy would still be in the island home. Time would not have passed.

It had all happened.

It was a wonderful reunion, and it felt good that night lying in my own bed, which Mom hadn't gotten rid of, gladly. Sam was happy to be home as well, of course. And, when we got the chance, we went to the beach, sending a message in a bottle.

Naruto –

We're home! Can you believe it? How'd the battle go?

- Sam and Natalie

I threw it into the ocean, grinning, full of hope. I was almost positive we'd get an answer. I knew the portal hadn't collapsed. It couldn't have. But...

We never got an answer.

We couldn't go back.

It was over.

Okay, I know the epilogue is short, but, well, it's an epilogue. I know some of my readers are sad this has ended and wish there were more, but GUESS WHAT? THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL! :D I don't know for sure when I'll put it out, I just want to get it going, get at least half-way through.

ALSO, for the sequel (the reason I keep saying "the sequel" is 'cause I don't have a title yet ^-^'), I will allow ONE (maybe two but I doubt it) person in the story. If you want to be the kid that has moved to where our school happens to be and... stuff... just say so in a review! :D For now, just tell your personality and who you might want to end up with, and I'll try and pick the person who would fit in the story best!

I'll work to get the sequel out as soon as possible, and I might just throw in a few other random stories (most likely short) as well. So, uh, keep on the lookout, and I hope you liked Extended Vacation! :D

EDIT: Well, since there's been only one entry in a little over a week, it looks like misaai is the "winner!" :D Other entries, however, are still welcome, as I may be able to add one more character! :)

NOTE: Misaai, as a warning, if you don't say who you want to end up with and answer any questions I may have, I will have to end up molding those unknown parts of your character for myself. Sorry 'bout that, but... Yeah...

DOUBLE EDIT: Okay, I now have four readers in my story. I will allow only one more. Thank you for your entries! :)

NOTE #2: DarkAkastukiNeko, or Ash if you wish, the same goes to you. If you don't answer in time, I will end up having to try and make it up on my own (although I hate having to do that). :( Sorry, but I'm trying to get this story moving along for you guys.

TRIPLE EDIT: (Wow, how many edits am I going to have to put here? Jeez.) No more people will be allowed in the story. Unless, of course, you feel like being an enemy. But I kinda doubt that. Anyway, there are now five people I have invited into the story. Huh. I only said one or two would come in. Weird. Well, I just have one other thing to say, and I'll say it in this edit 'cause there's really no point in putting in an extra note. Britt3899, are you Brittany, the girl who asked to be in the story? If you are, please tell me, because I want to contact you, but have no idea how. So... yeah.

FINAL EDIT: The new story is finally out! :D It took a few months, but I got there! Yes! The sequal is called Twisted Vacation. Yes... :3
