Sorry it's so late! School and all. To clarify, this takes place kind of during the end of The Deserter but before The Northern Air Temple. It's sort of an in between chapter. In the beginning, Mikaila and Zuko are doing something (don't want to say to give it away) and I'm sure what their doing and looking at wouldn't have names in this world, just bare with me. Okay! ENJOY! PLEASE REVIEW!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Avatar world :(

This is Me

(During the end of The Deserter but before The Northern Air Temple)

It has been a few days since Zuko and my… "bonding experience". There hasn't been another incident where I have called Zuko by his name, or where Zuko has called me by my name. But something had definitely changed. I found myself finding excuses to be around Zuko more, not only that but it seemed Zuko didn't mind my presence. It was strange.

We continued our usual morning sparing. We had finally begun fighting each other. Of course, Zuko always beat… rather quickly. He didn't get mad though. I think it was possible for us to be friends.

That idea was startling. I remember the days when Zuko would purposefully irritate me and do anything to rip my secrets from me. I mean they weren't that long ago. What exactly changed between us? We were still at odds, still technically enemies.

Zuko was looking for the Avatar to capture: I would do anything to help the Avatar. Zuko was Fire Nation and they were hunting down my people: I would gladly give my life to protect my family and friends.

Yet, Zuko was the only true friend I've ever had. My grandmother was the only other person who I cared for so much as a friend. He probably didn't feel the same way. He was a prince after all. He said he didn't have a lot of friends, he preferred to be alone.

True to what Iroh said, Zuko wasn't as bad of a person as I initially thought. It was weird to say but I felt we had many things in common. We understood each other in a way.

It was night. The stars shone brightly up in the dark lit sky. It was beautiful. I sat on the edge overlooking the water. It was calm tonight. The moon and star's reflection made the sea glow. I bended the water as we moved across the ocean.

I let the water go. I could feel it within myself. My body ached from the lack of earth bending. It was too risky to earth bend, even if I thought I was alone. You never knew who was watching. However, I feared if I didn't find myself doing it soon I might accidentally do it… in front of people.

That wasn't an option. My hands shook. Things would only get worse. Tightening my fists I jumped down from the edge. I heard the clicking of boots and I knew exactly whose they were.

"It's rather late," Zuko stated.

I smiled.

"I was too mesmerized; I lost track of how long I've been out here," I stated.

"It's rather peaceful," Zuko commented.

I laughed lightly.

"I was talking about its beauty. I could stare at the ocean and sky forever," I smiled.

"It's pretty… I suppose," Zuko admitted.

I shook my head.

"Not good enough," I said sitting down.

I patted the deck next to me. Zuko walked over and sat next to me. I smiled before laying down and looking up at the sky. Zuko stared at me before clearing his throat and following my example. We looked at the sky.

"See, isn't it beautiful? I grew up looking at these stars every night. I would spend hours finding pictures, um, constellations. You can find them easily if you look hard enough," I stated.

Looking up at the sky I began to point them out.

"There's Aquila, Aries, Leo, Cancer, and Capricornus," I pointed all the stars, making sure Zuko could connect them all.

"Oh and that one right there is–" I started.

"Orion," Zuko interrupted.

I turned my head and looked at Zuko.

"You know constellations?" I asked.

"Most. I sail on the waters, they're kind of important," Zuko joked smirking.

I laughed.

"Well thanks for letting me point them all out," I stated.

"You're welcome. But I also… I knew them before. My mom and I used to look at them together," Zuko said a little more serious.

It was quiet for a moment. There was a question I wanted to ask him but I didn't know if I could ask it.

"You don't talk about her," I stated.

Zuko looked away.

"Do you miss her?" I asked.

Zuko nodded.

"Very much," Zuko said.

"At least you'll see her soon, right?" I stated.

Zuko looked back at the sky. He looked to stare more than look at it.

"Show me them again," Zuko said.

He didn't quite phrase it as a demand, but I knew he really wanted to change the topic. So, I nodded and pointed out all the constellations I knew. In return Zuko did the same. We had to look at every single star. Sometime later, they all faded away.

Whatever I was lying on, wasn't very comfy. It was rather hard. And it was cold out. My blankets must have fallen on the ground again. Feeling myself starting to wake up more, I was confused why I could hear waves.

Then there was the shaking. Sure I was on a boat but this was different. I moved too much to be just the boat. Then I could feel the heat of someone's hand shaking my shoulder. Iroh must have come in to wake me up. Groaning, I slowly opened my eyes. Seeing sky instead of a ceiling I bolted up. Zuko was crouched down next to me. I rubbed my eyes.

"We fell asleep here? How long did we sleep in?" I asked.

"Yeah we did. It's about the time we train," Zuko said.

"Oh right," I said standing up yawning.

"Let me change real quick and we can begin," I stated.

"You should get some more sleep," Zuko suggested.

"I'm fine. Let me change and stretch and I'll be ready to go," I smiled.

Zuko nodded.

"Very well. Meet back here in fifteen minutes. We'll begin then," Zuko advised.

"I'll be back then," I said going to my room.

I couldn't believe we fell asleep on the deck. I couldn't remember even dozing off. One minute we were looking up at the stars, the next I was waking up to Zuko shaking me. Putting on fresh clothes, I brushed my hair before putting it up again. I was in need of a shower but that could wait until later.

I wasn't surprised that Zuko had beaten me back. He stood there arms folded, looking off into the distance. I walked up to him and folded my hands behind my back.

"What shall we do today?" I asked.

"Spare again. But I won't give you any directions. This will be like a real fight," Zuko explained.

I nodded.

"Got it," I said.

We stood in our fighting positions. Neither one of us moved. I stared at Zuko watching everything to see where he would strike. After a few moments, Zuko advanced with a powerful fire blast. Acting quickly, I bended water to block the fire and continue to hit Zuko. He dodged out of the way.

Zuko rapidly got back to his feet and shot multiple blasts at me. I barely managed to dodge them all. And probably not in the most graceful way. Once the fire stopped coming my way, I looked to see where Zuko was and only to have him punch me. I flew back a few feet. I groaned but got to my feet.

I froze some water and sent icicles at Zuko. He moved more gracefully than I did to avoid them. Zuko came at me quickly at me again. Out of reaction I created a huge ice wall between us. The first time he hit he didn't break it. By the third time it was hit, the wall came crashing down. Zuko threw fire at me. I blocked it.

I jumped close enough for hand-to-hand combat. Relying on speed rather than strength I began to attack. However, Zuko was stronger than I was fast. He managed to make contact and knock me down. He had me pinned.

I was satisfied that he was breathing heavily. At first he just held my wrists by my head staring down at me.

"Better," Zuko said.

I was a little disappointed. I wanted to be good, great.

"With my training you'll soon be a good fighter," Zuko said. "You show great promise."

I smiled.

"Just you wait, one day I'm going to kick your butt," I stated.

Zuko rolled his eyes before smirking.

"Good luck with that," Zuko joked.

He stood up and I got unto my feet.

"Let's finish with some stretches and agility exercises," Zuko stated.

I nodded. We began doing sit-ups, push-ups, running, and some stretches. I was content at the end of it. It was strange to admit but I could get used to this way of living. It wasn't what I first imagined doing traveling the world, but somehow it was better. I knew it couldn't last forever.

I still wanted to see the world. Zuko was still after the Avatar. He wouldn't be chasing him forever. I hated to admit it but I knew Zuko was capable of capturing Aang. There was also the matter of me being a dual bender; I couldn't hide that secret forever like this. I didn't want to think about it at the moment. Everything just seemed right.

After breakfast, I sat in the control room playing Pai Shao with Iroh. Some rounds I played against other members of the crew. I could beat some of them rather easily, but I could never seem close to defeating Iroh.

Zuko entered the room and talked to the helmsman. He nodded his head and turned the wheel a little in another direction. I looked at Zuko rather quizzically.

"We're stopping at the next port. See if we can get any Intel. The Avatar should have passed through here," Zuko explained.

Everyone nodded. They saw it as a sign to get back to work. All the workers stood, bowed quickly and left. Uncle continued to play against himself. Which I didn't understand how it was possible. I stretched as I stood and yawned.

"Am I companying you on land?" I asked.

Zuko nodded.

"I better change then. Let me know once we reach land," I stated before going down to my room.

I changed into some nicer looking clothes rather than training clothes. Estimating about an hour or so till docking, I grabbed a scroll and read through it at the desk. I was going through one particular scroll. It was my favorite. Some of the places it described sounded so beautiful! I began mouthing everything I was thinking to try to memorize it all. Zuko cleared his throat from behind me. I looked over at him.

"Where would you go first?" Zuko asked.

I leaned back in my chair and put down the scroll. I smiled.

"The markets, to buy a new boat," I laughed.

Zuko hid his smile, which came out as a smirk.

"After that," Zuko stated.

"No idea. I really don't know where to begin," I admitted.

Zuko looked down at the scroll. His eyes traced some places before he pointed out a place.

"That's where I would start," Zuko said.

I was about to ask him when I could be let go when he interrupted.

"We've almost docked. Come to the main deck," Zuko stated more coldly.

He turned and left before I could speak another word. Blinking away what just happened I put away the scroll before going to the main deck. Men were busy preparing for docking.

As soon as the ship was secured, Iroh, Zuko, and I made our way to land. It was like a lightning bolt to my body. Iroh wanted to look around the markets for new stuff, but Zuko had other plans.

He went straight to a particular man. I didn't know who he could be, Zuko didn't say. He seemed important though.

"Has the Avatar passed through here?" Zuko demanded to know.

"The A-Avatar? Oh no your highness," the poor scared man trembled.

Zuko gripped the man's collar.

"Zuko!" I cried out.

I pulled him away from the man, forcing the man to fall to the ground on his butt. Zuko looked pissed at what I did, so I spoke quickly.

"This approach may not be best. Do you really want to be known as the guy who gets what he wants because his people feared him?" I asked gesturing to the man.

Zuko looked at the man who looked scared. I added another point to help.

"You're better than that. Act kind and people will give you what you want because they want to, not because they're threatened," I smiled for a good measure.

Zuko calmed down and sighed. He nodded before walking over to the man. The man still looked terrified. He held out his hand.

"I… apologize," Zuko said. "I shouldn't have talked to you like that."

The man took his hand and was helped up. The man dusted himself off before giving Zuko a nod and small smile.

"If you know anything about the Avatar I'd appreciate it if you could tell me," Zuko said.

The man looked to be thinking for a minute. Then it looked as if he remembered something.

"A man passed through here yesterday. He came from a village not too far away. There was a festival. Rumor has it the Avatar was there. If you want to ask the man more I know he lives in the next village over. Just bring your own supply of water. They're been having problems, needing to take some of ours to survive," the man reported.

"Thank… you," Zuko stated.

All this "being nice" seemed new to him. Well more like "acting nice to peasants since his banishment". Something told me he was a kind person, I could just see it.

"You're welcome, your highness," the man bowed.

The man continued walking. The three of us, along with a few soldiers, packed some water canteens and headed to the next village through the forest. It was about an hour's walk. The trees began to thin out. The lush forest became bare and dead.

Then the trees stopped all together. The villages looked dry, dry as the dirt that covered the ground. Dust swirled around every time someone took a step. The villagers had stopped their actions when we entered. They stared at us, a little scared. One girl and boy who couldn't be older than ten looked into my eyes. I looked back.

Noticing my group was walking away, I sped up to catch up to them. Hopefully we wouldn't stay here longer than a few hours. I had only half of my water left. Zuko seemed to know where he was going.

Zuko calmly talked to a man while I continued looking around at the people. The little girl and boy still looked at me. When my eyes reached theirs, they both turned and ran away. I sighed.

We finally had found the man Zuko needed to find.

"Tell us what you know about the Avatar," Zuko demanded a little nicer than usual.

The man gulped and nodded.

"He was at the festival celebrating Fire Nation Culture. No one noticed him or his friends because they wore masks. But uh the girl was called onto stage for an act. The Avatar thought she was in danger and jumped in the way. Soldiers chased them through town. A man helped them escape. That's all I know. They disappeared on a flying bison heading towards the forest," the man reported.

"Which direction?" Zuko asked.

"N-North, I think," the man responded.

Zuko nodded. The man walked away.

"What should we do now sir?" a soldier asked.

"Ask around, see if anyone else knows anything. Especially what happened after they left to the forest," Zuko ordered.

"Yes sir," they all replied.

They split up going to different people.

"You want me to do the same?" I asked.

"No, just stay out of the way for now," Zuko stated.

I wanted to argue that I could help, then I realized that I shouldn't be helping Zuko capture the Avatar. I found myself wanting to help. How disappointed my parents would be, everyone on my island, my grandmother.

For as long as I can remember, I've been told the dangers and horrors about the Fire Nation. That they wanted us dead because we threatened their existence. We were forced to run and hide.

Because of them, we've had to live in isolation, in fear we would die otherwise. They hurt and kill people. They've done so many bad things to the world that it might not survive much longer under their reign.

I should hate the Fire Nation. I should plot to take them out from the inside. I should take every waking moment as time to escape. I should join the Avatar and help him. I should, I should, I should… I should. But I don't.

I'm not saying I'm on "Team Fire Nation", no not even close. Something about Zuko failing though just didn't sit right with me. All this stressing was crushing me from the inside.

Amongst my thoughts, I didn't notice the little girl and boy return to the quad. Supplies of empty water containers showed that the water was running low.

"Sorry children, the women haven't returned with the new water yet," another woman said.

The two children looked saddened. Taking my canteen I made sure they saw me. I held it and gestured for them to come. They slowly came. The girl behind the boy.

"Hello you two, would you like a drink?" I asked.

The little girl looked at the boy hesitant. He nodded. The little girl took the canteen into her hands and started to gulp down the water. She sighed with relief before handing it over to the boy. He took a smaller sip before handing it to me.

"My name is Mikaila. What are your names?" I asked.

"Kanan, and this is Ela," the little boy spoke softly.

"What wonderful names. Are you two siblings?" I asked.

The little boy giggled.

"No, we're best friends!" Kanan said happily wrapping his arm around Ela.

She blushed deeply but managed to nod in agreement. They were adorable. I smiled.

"Do you know why we're here?" I asked.

They nodded.

"You're looking for the Avatar miss," Kanan said.

"And what do you know about the Avatar?" I asked.

"That he can bend all four elements! It's so cool! Ela and I can't even bend one, it seems unfair," Kanan stated happily at first before pouting a little.

I giggled.

"Maybe, but bending isn't everything," I said.

"Oh really?" Kanan asked unconvinced.

"Really. I know people who can bend and people who can't. True, there are these they can't do that benders can, but there things benders can't do too," I stated.

"Can you bend anything?" Kanan asked.

I nodded.

"Show us!" Kanan stated excitedly.

I smiled before unscrewing the cap off the canteen again. Using my other hand I bended the water out. Kanan and Ela looked so excited. I returned the water, noticing much wasn't left, maybe a fourth.

"Wow! That's so cool. Could you play with us?" Kanan asked.

"If that's okay with Ela," I stated.

Kanan looked over to Ela, she nodded in agreement, smiling a little. I stood up.

"Very well. What should we play?" I asked.

I was going to screw the cap on my canteen on when Kanan spoke up.

"Oh! There was something else I remembered about the Avatar! My mom and dad were talking about him. I don't know if I should say, I wasn't supposed to be listening," Kanan admitted.

"Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be fine. Just tell me," I said.

"They were attacked by Zhao? I don't remember his name," Kanan asked.

"Oh? What happened?" I asked curiously.

"Well, the Avatar won. I don't know how. But Zhao came here the other day and he's coming back soon," Kanan explained.

"Zhao?" I asked.

Kanan nodded.

"He was looking for information on the Avatar and a water bender," Kanan stated.

"The one traveling with the Avatar?" I asked.

"No. He said she was a prisoner of the royal family," Kanan said.

My eyes went wide and my canteen slipped out my hands and hit the ground. The remaining water spilled out. I stood in shock. Zhao, he was asking around about me. Why?

"I'm sorry kids, I have to go," I stated still frozen.

"Aww," Kanan whined.

I forced my feet to move towards Zuko. On the way I managed to look less frightened and calm down my rushing heart.

"What is it?" Zuko asked.

"Zhao," I managed to say.

Zuko folded his arms and glared his eyes.

"What about him?" Zuko asked.

"He fought the Avatar in the forest. He was here a couple days ago and he's coming back soon," I said.

"Is that all?" Zuko asked as if he knew I was hiding something.

"That's all I know," I lied.

Zuko nodded.

"Very well, we might as well head back to the ship and continue north. No sense in staying here," Zuko said unfolding his arms.

I nodded.

A soldier came up to Zuko.

"Your highness, Admiral Zhao is coming to the village today," the soldier stated.

I went stiff. Zuko looked over at me a little confused. Zuko rubbed his forehead.

"Let's get going then before Zhao gets here," Zuko stated.

I loosened up and sighed happily.

"I'm afraid it's too late for that," Zhao's annoying voice stated from behind us.

We turned to see Zhao with numerous soldiers walking behind him. Zhao looked at us, with his hands behind his back. I swear he looked at me and smirked. Not good.

"Well, well look who it is. How are you, Prince Zuko?" Zhao asked.

Zuko didn't look happy to see Zhao. I couldn't blame him; I wasn't exactly happy either. I avoided eye contact. Maybe Zhao wouldn't notice. He couldn't really be looking for me, could he? I mean for what purpose would he need to know stuff about me? I could feel Zhao's stare on me.

"What are you doing here?" Zuko asked.

Zhao seemed to look away from me and back to Zuko.

"I was here first. Just following any leads on the Avatar," Zhao stated.

"You were already here, why come back?" Zuko asked.

Zhao smiled before walking around us.

"I knew you would come here eventually," Zhao said. "So I waited."

Zhao stopped his circling as the wheels of Zuko's head turned.

"What do you want from me?" Zuko asked.

Zhao smirked, because only men around here can smirk.

"I'm glad you asked. I'm here to help you," Zhao stated.

"Help me? How could you possibly help me?" Zuko asked not believing it.

"I'll give you information we have on the Avatar, that will help you catch him will it not?" Zhao stated all smug.

Damn. Whatever Zhao wanted in exchange, I had no doubt Zuko would give it to him.

"What do you want in return?" Zuko asked.

Zhao head gestured to me. I nearly stopped breathing.

"Her," Zhao stated.

My eyes went wide and I took a step back. Zuko looked at me and seemed to be thinking.

"Why do you want her?" Zuko asked. "She's not going with you."

"Why don't you want to give her up?" Zhao asked.

"I asked first," Zuko stated.

"What are you five Prince Zuko?" Zhao asked.

Zuko didn't budge. Zhao sighed.

"I think she holds valuable information. You don't seem to be interrogating her. You don't even seem to have her as a prisoner anymore. Why is that?" Zhao stated.

Zhao looked between us. He probably noticed Zuko's hand that seemed to protect me from Zhao. He smiled wickedly.

"Don't tell me you fell for her," Zhao laughed.

I looked down.

"No, you're too smart for that Prince Zuko. So hand her over and I can tell you everything I know about the Avatar," Zhao negotiated.

Zuko put his arm down and walked up to Zhao. He leaned slowly.

"No," Zuko said sternly.

Zhao got angry.

"Maybe you're not as smart as I thought you were. Give her to me," Zhao demanded angrily.

"Never," Zuko replied with just as much anger in his voice.

Zhao clenched his fists.

"Men, take her by force," Zhao ordered.

Zhao's soldiers prepared to fight.

"Men, let's kick Zhao's ass," Zuko stated.

Zuko's soldiers prepared to fight.

Both parties advanced at each other. The fighting began. While all the soldiers fought, all of the people fled the quad but watched around the edges. I made sure none of the fire would hit them. However, without so much as an ounce of water it was difficult.

Zhao and Zuko circled each other, fighting slowly. There was more glaring and growling then physical contact. Then, one of the soldiers missed his shot and hit the roof of a house. The people cried and jumped out of the way as that part fell to the ground. Luckily, the rest of the house didn't catch fire.

That's when I could hear Zhao speaking.

"Just give her to me Prince Zuko, you have no need for her," Zhao persuaded.

"I don't need your help!" Zuko retorted.

They went back and forth, throwing fire flames at each other. Never hit their target.

"What do you have to lose Zuko? Is she really that important to you?" Zhao asked irritated.

"She's mine Zhao. You have better things to do then steal my prisoners," Zuko retorted.

"Maybe you won't give her to me because you already know something. No, if you knew anything she wouldn't be roaming free now would she?" Zhao asked smirking.

Zuko fought back harder. However, he didn't land a hit yet.

"That's none of your business!" Zuko lashed out.

Zhao stopped attacking and held out his hand for a hand shake.

"If I had her, she would tell me everything. What do you say?" Zhao asked.

"No!" Zuko disagreed.

Zhao got angry. Then Zhao's smirking got wider as another idea popped into his head.

"I bet you're using her for something else. I mean it does get rather lonely on a ship without any… company doesn't it?" Zhao asked.

Zuko looked pissed. I on the other hand, couldn't decide how I felt. Zhao was saying Zuko kept me around… to sleep with him? That's crazy! Zuko hadn't even once suggested such a thing. Which was strange. Wouldn't he want to? Did he think I was too ugly? Did Zuko even do that sort of thing? Wait! Why did I care?!

For some reason, Zuko didn't even bother answering Zhao's question. I guess to him it was obvious that we weren't doing that. Maybe Zhao knew that already.

That was the last of the conversation I heard before I went back to protecting the people. I noticed Kanan and Ela trying to step forward but I motioned them to stay back.

A soldier started to come and fight me. Without bending, I had to rely on my physical training with Zuko. I waited for him to make the first move, which didn't take long. I used his "strength" against him.

Zuko and Zhao's fighting was getting more intense. I was surprised they hadn't hit each other yet. Zhao went to strike Zuko with a hard flamed fist. Being faster, Zuko hit his arm out of the way. Unfortunately, his flame went straight to the roof of a house.

Everyone was clear out of the way, everyone but Ela. Ela screamed as the roof came felling to her. My mistake was turning away from my opponent. As I tried to run after her, the soldier knocked me down.

"NO!" I cried out sending my hand forward.

Mistake number two. This moment was my breaking point. I couldn't hold it back anymore. Time froze as everyone turned to see that the earth bended and saved that girl. All fighting stopped.

I stood slowly to my feet. Ela ran from under the shield to Kanan's arms. One soldier was brave enough to attack me. There was no point in hiding my earth bending anymore. Everyone had seen it. I bended a wall to block his flames. I pushed it out and sent him flying away.

Zhao and Zuko stared at me.

"I don't believe it," Zhao said smirking evilly. "She's a dual bender."

Zuko stared at me as I was some bizarre creature he's never seen before. On the other hand, Zhao looked very pleased.

"Here I thought I'd never see a dual bender. We knew, of course, that there was been some hiding somewhere. We've never found any clue to their whereabouts… that is until now," Zhao stated stepping forward.

Zuko stepped between Zhao and me. Zhao smiled wider.

"What? Are you going to protect her? I know you know the history of dual benders, Prince Zuko. She must be brought in for… questioning," Zhao smirked.

Zuko stepped closer.

"She's my prisoner. If you want her, you'll have to take her from me. And I'm sure the Fire Lord would be glad to hear one of his men, crossed his son," Zuko stated.

Zhao glared at Zuko but didn't reply. Zuko stepped back before turning. He looked between his men and me. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Zhao.

"Tie her hands," Zuko ordered.

My eyes widened. Two men grabbed me from behind before I could protest. My hands were tied too tightly to move. I looked at Zuko, probably with tears in my eyes.

"Let's get back to the ship! There's nothing more for us here," Zuko ordered.

All of his men got into lines and marched away. Ela ran forward.

"Thank you, Miss Mikaila," she sorrowfully said with tears in her eyes.

I gave her a reassuring smile. The trip to the ship was full of tension. I dared not look at Zuko, no matter how much my eyes wanted to. All I could think was stupid, stupid, stupid! I didn't regret saving Ela; it was probably the only thing I could do in that situation. No, I was stupid for freaking out and not running when I had the chance.

The ship finally came into view. I pushed up the plank onto the ship. Zuko stopped in front of us. He faced me. He nodded his head once to the soldier holding my arm. The ropes were cut. I looked at my hands before looking up at Zuko. Gesturing his head again, all of the soldiers dispersed along with Iroh so it was just Zuko and me.

"Tell me everything," Zuko stated.

It wasn't quite a demand but it was more than a suggestion. I sighed. Inside I was shaking and about to fall about. I reached deep down for confidence I knew I had. I looked into Zuko's eyes, strong and confident.

"I bend water… I bend earth… this is me."

Another chapter finished! Unfortunately for Mikaila, her secret is know exposed! What will happen next? I honestly don't know when the next chapter will be out, probably about a week. But you know if I get REVIEWS, I will type faster! SO PLEASE REVIEW! And thank you for everyone who already writes reviews and reads my story! I love you all!
