I hope everyone enjoyed the story. I know I enjoyed writing it. It's been over a year since I first started and I have to admit it was a wild ride. Giving life to the characters of Full Metal Panic was such a delight and it is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me since the very beginning, all those who have left reviews and those who have helped out so much:

Blackwolf581 for not only being a great friend through it all, we met through our stories, we discussed our plotlines and our characters, we helped each other over the bumps and writer's block. I know we lose touch sometimes but you are always with me and I now have more time to keep reading Project R! Thanks again for lending me Michael, he is the coolest FOXHOUND agent ever! Keep writing, you rock!

MizLou for being the most amazing co-website owner and the most amazing friend any girl could have. We met through one of your AMVs on LiveJournal (awesomeness still, by the way) and through that we became fast friends and decided to open the greatest Full Metal Panic Shrine and community this side of the net to quench our thirst for everything FMP. My character Amy Miller was modeled after you for her strong spirit and devotion to her causes. A person rarely meets another who they can truly call friend and you are one of them. Love and hugs girl!

James for sitting and listening to every chapter even when you were tired after work or college. For loving everything I do even if it is crap, for bringing FMP into my life that wonderful summer of 2007. And most especially for being the most amazing positive force in my life. I love you, I love us and I will always be yours forever! Us against the world, babe!

To those who had faith in me even though they had no clue who I was or what I was about. Shoji Gatoh for giving these wonderful amazing characters life through your novels. I am and will forever be in awe of your skill and can only hope one day to match even 10-percent of your ability.

Sousuke & Kaname 4ever!
