I'm so happy you're back :D And I loved this. I'm sad for Lexi, but I love me some Merrikat. Actually, and thing with Zack is good. But you get the point.
:O Oh gosh. I wonder what Jack's going to do... ...and what I saw should have been able to startle me enough to wake me up. But it was then when I realized that I was already awake. I really love how you wrote that part for some reason...
Oh Alex (: I really enjoyed the little foreshadowing in your authors note ;) And I'm jealous of your Ranger costume!! I'm handing out candy to kids and doing a ouji board haha
