Between the Light and the Darknes ~~~Chapter 34 - The End~~~

[Astral Faery]

Wow!  I'm practically buried up to my eyeballs in cookies!  WOOT - that gives me lots of energy for the next chapter, which I'll start working on shortly.  My oldest is still struggling with his asthma and needs to be on the nebulizer quite a bit plus extra meds, but I'm hoping he'll make it back to school Monday (we had spring break this week) and no one else will get sick.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Impish - I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.  I was hoping people would like it.

kcbanana - I see I have you guys spoiled on the extra long chapters, don't I, lol?  This one was a little longer than the first several chapters, but then I got kind of carried away with myself and started spitting out these 70+ picture deals - they're exhausting, lol.  I'll try to make the next one a bit longer.

mattitje - yes, Tim is still kicking, lol!  I was hoping people wouldn't stop reading after the last chapter - that's why I begged everyone to come back and read this one.

mpb - thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sadie - yes, he'll be needing his acting skills for sure!  I can't answer all of your questions, yet, but I can tell you why Gertie is young again.  Simply because I believe that when you go to the Great Beyond - wherever that happens to be depending on your religion - that your body, mind, and spirit are at their prime - like they were on earth in early adulthood.  Sicknesses are healed, body and mind are whole.  Or perhaps people have the ability to choose what they want to look like, and that's what Gertie chose.  Or did I just confuse you more, lol?

Diana - Don't worry, this story will have many more chapters to it.  The climax is still pretty far off.  I think Jondak is cute, too.  I have a crush on both my leading men, lol.

SAZ - epic suckerpunch?  We'll have to see, I guess.  Keep that boxing gear handy, just in case.  

Paige - aw, thanks!  Do I really leave people hanging that much?

HJ - Thanks!  I was very pleased how pretty Gertie turned out as an adult.

steelguy - LOL - everyone is already cringing about the thought of Tim and Shirra together.  That's good.

greydove - LOL - I hope you get your paper finished!  Thanks for the comments.

Lola - good luck on your paper, too.  I'm going to feel really bad if you girls get bad grades on them!

Squirt - Glad you enjoyed it!

Did I remember everyone?  Thanks all - for taking the time to read and comment - I'm glad everyone is enjoying it.  And thanks for all the cookies!!

ARI! This chapter was great!! It proves my point though that you are in fact the evil Queen Of Cliffhangers. I love it! Haha. Update soon pleaseeee.

If Astral Faery isn't the Queen of Cliffhangers, she's tied with flid. (Who's the Queen of Suprises.)

[Astral Faery]

Oh, SAZ :oogle: - that is a huuuuge compliment.  I would certainly not put myself on the same level as Flid, but I'm blushing at your kind words!

Wwindystar - welcome, new reader!  Glad to have you aboard.  I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

I definitely agree. Flid made me cry in AFS!

But Astral's story put me into shock =]]

[discowhipped]

Aw hope your son gets better. I had to go on a nebulizer thing once when I had hooping cough... It was HORRIBLE. But back to updating... It will be the highlight of my week!

[Lola136]

Flid: She's a particularly great storywriter on the InSim, particularly known for her evil plotline suckerpunches.
Check out some of her stories, particularly A Father's Sacrifice.

[Astral Faery]

Flid is definitely an expert in the field.  

Thanks for the well wishes for my boys.  All three are back on the nebulizer again.  Ugh.  My oldest is on 7 medications twice a day plus his treatments, plus the other two need some, too!  I swear if I didn't have a computer to relieve stress I would have gutted myself long ago, lol.  I'm going to try to start taking pics for the next chapter in a couple of days.  If I can get them all to school Monday, I'll start then.

[Astral Faery]

Hey, YHSims!  Glad you could stop by.  I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter.  And it's definitely not over yet, not by a long shot!

SAZ - popcorn now, eh?  I'm not a big fan of popcorn unless it's butter toffee coated, yum!

This is a new breed of popcorn called Mind-Adapting Popcorn. It changes it's flavor depending on the person who's eating it.
