To both old and new readers:

Please be advised that this fan fiction was created when I was sixteen and had zero writing skills. I assure you, my literary skills have improved greatly over the last ten years.

While deleting my—what I thought were masterpieces—books would be a good idea, I, sometimes, look back at my Wattpad-published books and laugh at how horrendously written they are.

As you read both Together and Side-by-Side, you'll notice that the writing has changed and is minimally sharper. This is because some chapters were edited when I was older.

I will not be going through either of these books to edit/rewrite them as I honestly do not believe that they are salvageable. But, I do hope that as you read, you appreciate the effort that I did put in and realize that this series was never meant to be anything serious.

For those who are curious, I do still write (much better, thank you), but do not publish. I write under a different pen name, but have yet to make a decision on whether I wish to pursue the task of publishing an actual novel.

Should I ever come to the decision of pursuing publishing, if you are interested, I will let you know. But until then, we will always have the memory of Together and Side-by-Side.

Finally, I just want to say how much I truly appreciate the past, current, and future support that I have, and continue to receive. Without any of you, none of this would be possible.

With all the above in mind:
Enjoy your read, readers. Mr. Dixon is waiting for you.
