Hahaha! How awesome was Mattie's reaction? I love that spunk, and the sarcasm, it was so brillaint. Such a great addition to a brilliant chapter. It was great Jackie, I'm so pleased she's going to be okay, so very pleased. Now bring on the fluff! LoL. Seriously, can't wait for more!

Thanks everyone Of course Anna has insecurities, she had to at least be a little real! Oh, and Kat, almost? Seriously, you couldn't imagine falling for him? I was actually quite proud of that description, never thought I had it in me! More soon, I promise! Thanks again for liking Anna (and the story!)

Do you really have to ask? I loved it, from beginning to end. As soon as I read Kit's thoughts about Hayley, I was in fits of laughter. I mean, I thought cliche, but who doesn't love a cliche thrown in the beginning of a teen fic thats obviously going to create more drama and tension that I can begin to comprehend? I love the cliques that you've set up. Noah and Will would have worked so well with Kim, and I can just imagine him trailing around after Hayley (hmm, sound familar?) but still being addictied to Gypsy. I also could so totally see Hayley, Martha and Cassie being the evil witches that rule the school. I love the way you've written them, I must admit, I instantly hated them, I don't know if it was the desired effect, but it was there for me! I'll admit, you messed around with a few of my all time favourite couples, but I was prepared for anything when I read it, you gave me the warning, and I think you'll just have to continue *hint hint* so I can either learn to love the ships, or be amazed and confused every time you throw another one into the mix. To sum up the mega long review, PLEASE CONTINUE, I'll bribe you with... icons... or fictions... or something!

I think I'd be best to finish my other fics first, then see how much time I've got to write this summer. She has lost some of that original spunk she had when she first came to the bay, I loved that about her, and I loved that she and Mattie/Cassie didn't initially bond. Like in your fanfiction. Thats the best kind of character. The individual one. Oh, I didn't stop reading during the HSC either, but seriously, I hope you breeze through them. There wouldn't be long left, would there? Just don't stress! You feel so much better once they are over, and then you can write more wonderful fan fictions!

A Belle-centric story? I'd so be there. I've actually been thinking about doing one of those myself, because I feel her character is being ripped off with current Australian episodes, and she herself needs to be explored so much more, she's such an intriguing character, and I love the way you write her, so I'd so love to read it! Seriously, it was an amazing story. I loved it from beginning to end, you should be so proud of yourself for creating such an amazing fiction Kase. And I'll always find time to review good work such as this one! Its been such a good read! Good Luck with the exams too, I guess we won't be seeing any new work from you for a while. Don't you dare distract yourself with a story either Study hard girl!

Oh mi god. You put it in there, and it just fitted, and it made everything work, and I really truly had the tears forming in my eyes. Seriously, I loved that perfect little placement, it was such a wonderful addition to the closure of the story. I love, love, love the ending. Seriously. It made sence, how you intertwined everything, how she had her flashbacks and it was great. I loved the moments she remembered with everyone, but especially loved the 'Think this will make her stop fighting with me' moment... but then again, I have a sneaking suspicion you knew I'd appreciate it! The ending was perfect. I could not have asked for more... only a Belle/Henry spin off *dreams happily* It seriously was amazing Kase, perfect, wonderful, beautiful, and any other word that fits into the category. I have to feel sorry for Ric though, I hope in the end he wasn't the only one to end up alone. Loved the story from beginning to end, and I can't wait for another one from you!

Yes... but NOOOOOO! Okay, on one hand you gave me a very hot Belle/Henry reunion, which makes me want to make icons... but on the other, a heartbreaking moment between Mattie and Luke, but I can't even begin to guess where you're going to take the epilogue. I don't want it to end Kase, and if it has to, I don't want it to end this way! It was so beautifully written Kase, I felt the tears, and I wanted to hug them all, especially Luke. I really hope Ric doesn't give Luke or Henry a reason to hate him if they really do go to Melbourne... I can't wait for the epilogue!

You didn't did you? Seriously, I'd be majorly impressed if you did. That was gripping Nicole, amazingly written, and poor JM. I actually felt the tears begin to form, tears Nicole, for JM, real TEARS! Seriously hun, well done!

And still I'm left with nothing on Mattie! I'm just about ripping my hair out, I wanna know so badly if there is anything perminent or if she'll recover 100%! But aside from that, brilliant update Jackie, can't wait for more!

So very cute Julie. I loved what Maddie said at the end, it was very sweet, very moving. Great story hun, can't wait for more from you!

Very cute. Bittersweet reminder of something that could have been *grumbles* Noah/Kit was adorable, and you captured it very well! Whatever else you have in store for the continuation, I'm very excited to read it.

Wow. That was so dramatic. Poor Mattie, poor Lucas, poor Beth (not knowing what the hell is going on with her baby) It was so suspenceful Jackie, amazing, but still, I'm slightly disgruntled because I didn't get any more of it! *Whinges* I wanna know if Mattie is going to be okay! So please hurry along just one measly update, please, please, please!

So you should! Leaving me hanging. Can't you update both? Pretty please? I mean, I'm desperate to know about Mattie in this one, but then, theres Henry in the other. Enough said! I feel comforted knowing that I'll get an update eventually for both though!

Brilliant. Gripping. Suspencful. Painful. How can you do that to me? How can you leave it hanging there? It was wonderful yet hopelessly sad, I know nothing too bad like death will happen... right? I trust you Jackie, I really do, if anything happens I really will cry! Please update soon so I stop raving like a weirdo!

Suspencful, dramatic, well thought out, and Jack is a completele fool! Its like your were trying too hard to impress me Seriously, I'm already way impressed by this story, its got drama and love and wit and its amazing. Did he miss? Only time will tell... (Its like watching a dramatic soap play out in front of me... and thats a good thing!)

Twins? Wow, good for them. Mattie and Lukes holidays went by might fast! No details or anything *pouts a little* But now they are stuck in the storm! Dammit! I hope they are okay, or they are found soon! I really hate cliffhangers! Really well written Jackie, I can't wait for more!

Thanks for the amazing response everyone! I'm really glad people seem to like Anna, even if she does come across as cynical and sarcastic... honestly, whats not to love? More soonish... a whole weekend of writing lies ahead of me!

Thanks Kase and Annie, I'm so pleased you're enjoying the story, especially Anna. Hopefully the development will continue to work in my favour!

Okay, I have to ask, even though you've complimented the writing skills of furrylogic, why would you say that? Why wouldn't you just compliment the style of the story and leave it without saying that... I know you didn't mean it to be offensive or anything, but it honestly does come across that way, especially because it was so well written to suit the characters. I just, have such a hard time understanding this JM thing... I've begun to try, but the fact that most JM fans refuse to try and even see one of the other pairings work with someone else. *Shakes head* why do I honestly even bother replying to this, its obviously going to make very little difference.

Woot... look who's replying coz she actually read a JM fic... thats right, the Puds is.. Okay, that sounded way lamer than it was supposed to. I promised I would, and I have. And I found myself laughing at parts, and becoming entirely frustrated with Martha when she went off at Jack... I just wanted to slap her around a bit. The writing quality is great, and the characters seem so much more real than when I watch... (or just flick on past) them on TV. I must say though, I'm most intrigued by the little "In the next chapter" comments you seem to come up with... much wit there, I can see. I shall continue to read... I wanna know how this hostage situation plays out.

*sniffs* Oh Kase, that was amazingly perfect. Seriously, the cutting between each scene was like the almost ending of a wonderful movie, or story, when everything had crashed down around them and they are only beginning to pick up the pieces. I loved how Matilda and Henry had their moment, and the Matilda and Ric, and I loved the emotions and descriptions and how everything is just flowing. It will be so sad to see this story come to an end, but still, there are two more chapters to look forward to, and I can't wait to read them! Well done!

I discovered the best cure for writers block. Sunlight and sunbaking... which is so ironic, as it was Moonlit Walks and Summer Dreams that I was stuck on. But seriously, taking a pen and paper and going to sit outside and write, it gives you so much freedom to just think, without the confines of a computer sitting there in front of you! I also have some tips for inspiration... try watching movies, and ripping off their themes... I know that sounds bad, but honestly, all movies in say the romance genre follow the same rules, and watching it play out in different wants can be really good for the imagination. I also write one shots if I'm stuck in a rut. If there's just a snippit of something that needs to be written down, that sometimes helps clear the head!

Thanks so much Kase, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the vagueness of the ending, because thats what I really wanted, people to make up their own mind (as most have) I can't believe SOS was the first fic you ever read? Thats kinda amazing, as it was my first fan fic. And everyone has stuck by that and the second one have been so amazing, which is why I really wanted to write the third, to finish it how I imagine it to be finished. Which is will be, the writers block appears to have gone, so hopefully it shall be up sooner than expected... I just hope I've got the time to write that and BD too! Thanks again (to everyone) for reviewing this fic, its so very greatly appreciated!

I shall reiterate what I said in the contest. I love this story, its descriptive and emotive and so moving. I can feel the feelings, the heat jumps off the page at you and you can honestly feel that there is more than just sexual tension and lust between the two, there is love. I mean, as a hardcore Mattie/Luke shipper, unlike many JM fans, I never once doubted the love between the two, I just wanted to know how it got there. And you gave that to us, and for that I'm forever grateful. Thank you for sharing that amazing story with us, and I really hope to read more of your work in the future!

Woot, double fluff, in Mattie/Luke and Jack/Martha. That was so cute Jackie, and I'm glad Martha is pregnant... haha now Jack has an irritable pregnant woman on his hands, I can't wait to see how that plays out! And ML were, as always, adorable. Can't wait for more!
