Yay, you're back! I'm so happy! :D

And with such an awesome chapter too! I really enjoyed this one. Shizune definitely needs some attention every now and then ;) Max is definitely HOT! But he's sweet, which is even better XD But the best part had to be the ending scene with the little girl. Heehee, cooties :P

Excellent chapter! Setting up for the Twilight Challenge makes me really excited! Can't wait for more, keep up the awesome work!
