Chapter 25
James was standing in front of Marco. Cassidy was huddled in the corner with Shade. Garth was standing in the door way.
"I'm not getting out of my sleeping bag." James realized. "Is it because I did something differently?"
Marco launched an aura sphere at James. James was ready for it, and slashed it with one hand. The sphere dissipated, and a small cloud of blue smoke floated up from it. Marco stared at James in fear.
"Die!" Garth shouted. He shot an enormous beam of yellow-blue energy at James. He crossed his arms over his chest, and took the attack. It kept coming, and James' feet were starting to slide backwards. He growled, and stopped sliding. James started trudging forwards. He pushed his way through the energy attack, and walked closer to Garth. He was several feet from Garth, and James was running out of energy. The attack was starting to burn him.
Marco tackled James from his left. James and Marco tumbled to the floor, while Garth's attack punched a hole in the wall. Marco threw punch after punch at James' head, and James just managed to evade it. James managed to get his feet underneath Marco, and kicked forwards.
Marco flew across the room, and hit the wall. Marco slid to the ground, and then stood up swiftly. He took a running start at James, and swung his leg forwards at an incredible speed.
His foot connected to James' head. James blacked out for just a second, long enough for Marco to get on top of him, and pin him down. James' eyes snapped open, and Marco's fist connected with his face.
Crack!
James felt several teeth fall into the back of his mouth. Marco wound up for another punch, his hand surrounded in some kind of aura-flame.
Crunch!
James' nose went next. He roared in pain, and Marco laughed. He wound up again, and this time, James raised his hands up to protect his face.
Thunk.
Marco's fist hit James' arm. It smarted, but didn't hurt as much as when his nose was shattered. Marco wound up for another punch. His fist flew towards James' face.
James grabbed his fist, and started crushing his paw.
"Augh!" Marco cried. James grabbed Marco under his arm, and while still crushing his paw, threw him across the room. Marco hit the wall, and smashed his head on it. Marco slid to the floor unconscious. James stood up, still dazed from Marco's ridiculously powerful punches.
Cassidy watched this with curiosity. The scaly figure wasn't attacking the others, he was just defending himself.
"Wait!" Cassidy cried out. "Don't hurt him!"
"Are you crazy!?" Garth shouted. "Look at what he did to Marco!" Garth launched himself at James. James raised his arm, and Garth bounced off harmlessly. Growling, Garth jumped at him again, this time using the wall as a spring board. Garth jumped behind him, and slashed him across the back.
James literally roared. It had hurt him more than it should have if his back was as protected as he thought. James grabbed Garth, and threw him out the doorway. He then turned, and checked his back.
He had wings. They were just a few bones supporting a thin layer of membrane. They were folded up on his back, and if they were stretched out, they probably wouldn't fit in the room. He took a closer look behind him. James had a tail. A long, scaly tail, with a spear like tip at the end.
Cassidy was watching the scaly beast examine himself, as if not sure what he was. She wasn't at all scared now. She was watching him with interest, waiting to see what he would do.
James swished his tail back and forth, getting used to the new limb. He flared his wings, and touched them to the walls. One of the wings had a large tear in the membrane, and was bleeding profusely. They felt sensitive, and tingled whenever a breeze came from the hole in the wall. Shuddering, he brought the wings back towards his body, and they folded up nicely on his back.
"Um... Hello?" Cassidy asked the creature. She wasn't sure if it could understand her, or even hear her. The scaly figure turned towards her. It pointed towards itself, like it wasn't sure if she were addressing it. "Yes you." Cassidy told it. "Can you talk?"
James wasn't sure at all what was going on. He found himself in this room, was attacked, found out he had wings and a tail, and was now being asked questions by someone who had melted his eyes before.
Cassidy watched as the creature held it's neck, and shook it's head. Cassidy sighed.
"This is going to make things more difficult." She thought. "Can you write?" She asked. She could read only a little, but could probably get some form of communication going. The creature nodded its head slowly, as if it knew something that she didn't. It walked towards a wall, and started carving something out with its claws. Once it finished, the creature stood back.
Cassidy's eyes widened as she slowly took in what he had written.
"James." She whispered. "What did you do to him!?" She shouted.
James jumped. He hadn't expected her to start shouting at him. Quickly, he pointed at the writing, and then at himself, gesturing that he was, in fact, James.
"What? But... How?" Cassidy asked in shock. She stared into the gold eyes of the creature, and realized that it was James. She could tell by the way he looked at her.
"Gotcha!" Marco exclaimed, jumping onto James' back. He wrapped one arm around his neck, and used the other to pull harder.
"No!" Cassidy cried. "Stop!" Marco didn't hear her. James tried to reach behind himself to get Marco, but couldn't. James backed up into a wall, trying to flatten him.
Marco grunted as he collided with the wall, but held on tight. James leaned forwards, and did it again, and again, each time getting weaker due to lack of air.
"Marco, please!" Cassidy cried, trying to get near enough to the two to help. She had to jump out of the way as James and Marco crashed her way.
James gave a strangled gurgle. He slowly sank to his knees, and then fell to the floor. Marco finally let go of him. James turned himself over, and gasped for air.
Crack!
Marco broke off the leg of the bedside table. He slowly approached James, swinging it side to side.
"Marco!" Cassidy shouted. She ran over to him, and grabbed the table leg. "Please, stop!" Marco chuckled, and threw Cassidy to the side.
James growled deeply, and started to get up.
Smack!
Marco struck James across the face with the table leg, full force. James shook it off, and started getting up again.
"AARGH!" Garth yelled, racing into the room once again. He raced towards James, and leaped. Garth tackled James' chest, and chomped down on his throat, his teeth sinking inches into the throat of James, completely severing his jugular.
James thrashed around, unable to stop the bleeding. He slowly stopped moving, and lay there, vision fading. Marco approached him, and raised the table leg above his head.
"You're a monster."
Crack!
James sat upright in the sleeping bag once again. He was breathing hard, and his head hurt like he was struck in the face with a table leg. He shakily got up, and dressed. He headed for the door, and opened it. James was about to leave when he heard Cassidy.
"No... Marco... Don't... hurt him..." Cassidy mumbled. James stared at her, shocked.
"That couldn't have anything to do with my dream could it!?" James thought. "I'll have to ask her about it later." James quietly closed the door behind him.
~{o}~{o}~
"Well, another day of school..." James sighed, leaving Shade's classroom. He and Cassidy walked towards one of the three stairwells of the school. Cassidy was walking closer to James than usual, tail swishing nervously.
"Um... What class do we have?" Cassidy asked James. "Please not social!"
"We have social." James told her.
"I hate you author!" Cassidy shouted mentally, shattering the fourth wall. "Alright." She replied. James gave her a sympathetic look.
"Don't worry." James told her, resting a hand on her shoulder. "I won't let anything happen to you." Cassidy smiled back at him, her tail wagging happily back and forth.
The two passed by many people and pokemon, all on their way to their first class. They passed by several couples, all holding hands, or kissing each other on the cheek lovingly. Every time they passed a couple, Cassidy looked at James longingly. She was so tempted to tell him, so ready to take his hand, and walk down the hall proudly. But she couldn't. She was too afraid of being rejected.
They walked up the staircase, James taking them two at a time, and acting like he was going normally. Cassidy sighed, and bolted up the stairs, leaving James to catch up. Breathing slightly harder than usual, Cassidy waited at the top of the stairs.
"Why did you run off?" James asked as he climbed the last few stairs. Cassidy smirked.
"What? You're allowed to show off, and I'm not?" She asked. James paled slightly.
"What? No, I didn't mean it like that! I wasn't trying to be rude, or-" Cassidy covered his mouth with her hand.
"You talk too much." She giggled. "C'mon." She started waking down the second floor hallway, leaving James once again. James jogged up to her, and fell into step right beside her.
They made their way down the hall. The moment the social classroom was in sight, Cassidy started feeling sick. They were almost at the entrance. Cassidy swallowed, and headed for the open door.
Something grabbed Cassidy's arm, and spun her around, pinning her back to the wall. Cassidy stared in fear at the Poliwhirl pokemorph stranding in front of her.
"Hey beautiful." He said, leaning closer to Cassidy. "You. Me. Tonight. 10:30. Back alley behind the pokemon center. Be there." With that, the Poliwhirl turned and started down the hallway, followed closely by his group of friends.
"Uh, no thank you!" Cassidy called to the Poliwhirl. He stopped, and turned around.
"What did you say to me?" The Poliwhirl hissed. He stormed towards Cassidy, and gripped her shoulder. Cassidy cringed back, but responded firmly.
"I said no." She told him firmly, glaring back at him. The Poliwhirl pokemorph let go of her, and stood back. His gang was laughing at him. He grabbed Cassidy's shoulders, and started shaking them.
"Listen here you little bitch! I will not be made a joke just because some little whore said no!" He shouted at her. James stepped forwards, but Cassidy shook her head.
"Don't call me that." Cassidy said quietly, voice barely above a whisper. The Poliwhirl let go, and stood back.
"Or what bitch?" The Poliwhirl laughed. "What are you gonna-"
Crunch!
"FUCK!" He screamed, holding his nose. Cassidy struck forwards so suddenly, not even James saw it coming. The Poliwhirl staggered back, and slammed his back against a set of lockers.
"I warned you." Cassidy growled. She took a step closer to the Poliwhirl.
"Bitch!" He screamed. He swung an arm at Cassidy. She easily caught it, and elbowed him in the stomach. While the Poliwhirl was doubled over, she took his arm, and swing him around. He smashed face first into the lockers. He slid to the floor, groaning.
"Let's go." Cassidy said. She walked towards the classroom, back turned to the Poliwhirl. James followed right behind her.
"Aaaarrrgh!" The Poliwhirl screamed, charging Cassidy while she was turned. He raised his fist, and swung it downwards.
James caught it.
"Shame on you. Attacking someone while their back is turned." James frowned. He slowly started twisting the Poliwhirl's arm.
"Fuck!" He swore. The Poliwhirl pokemorph tried to break his arm free, but was caught in James' grip. "Let goaaaah!" It cried, as James twisted his arm more. He was forced to turn around. James let go, and kicked him in the rear, sending him sprawling to the ground. "I'll kill you fat ass." The Poliwhirl pokemorph grumbled.
"Piss off." James told the Poliwhirl. He and Cassidy walked back towards the classroom, leaving the Poliwhirl and gang in the hall. The two sat themselves into desks beside each other. James laid a hand on Cassidy's shoulder.
"I'm really proud of you for standing up for yourself." James told her. Cassidy smiled back. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. "But my hand hurts from punching him." She shook out her hand, and laid it on the table.
"Maybe you should take it easy next time." James laughed. "I bet his hard head really injured your hand."
"Listen James, thank you. I wouldn't have been able to do that without you." She told him. James smiled, but his smile faded when the teacher walked into the room. He walked to his desk without even acknowledging that the two were there. He had what looked like a cast over his nose.
-5 minutes later-
"Hi Cassidy!" Several girls called out while entering the class. The five walked towards James and Cassidy.
"What the teacher said to you wasn't nice." A female Loppuny said, standing in front of the two.
"Yeah, I like, totally hate him for, like, ever." Another girl said, standing next to the Lopunny.
"He's a meanie!" A Roselia exclaimed, and stood near the others, not being tall enough to really be seen.
"None of us knew either." A pokemorph Luxio said solemnly.
"That was uncalled for." Another girl said.
"You should hang out with us!" They all exclaimed at once. They jumped when they said it, causing their breasts to bounce. James was pretty sure that if he were in an anime, his nose would be bleeding non-stop. However, the tone they said it in caused James to cringe back.
"Please!" They begged. The Lopunny grabbed Cassidy's hand, and started to tug her away from James.
"But," Cassidy began, "is-isn't James coming?" They all laughed.
"Of course not!" A girl exclaimed.
"He's a boy!" The Roselia exclaimed. They started dragging her towards another set of tables, and they grabbed a sixth one as well.
James sat there utterly confused as they put her into a chair, and started chatting with her as if they had known her for their entire lives. James watched Cassidy as she started blushing, and fidgeting.
"So, have you ever had sex?" One of the girls asked loudly. James heard it from his side of the room.
Cassidy turned her head towards James and mouthed the words Help Me!
~{o}~{o}~
"Pop quiz!" The teacher shouted, waving around a stack of papers like a maniac. The entire class groaned as he started handing out tests to everyone. James watched as all the pokemon were lead out of the room, going to get a verbal test.
Cassidy glanced over her shoulder at James once more. He waved to her, and she waved back.
Smack!
A test was slammed down onto his desk. James looked at the test, and sighed in defeat.
1) What is the capital of Johto?
2) How many miles/kilometers is Unova from Hoenn?
3) How many times has Johto sent someone to space?
4) How long will it take for a Slowpoke to crawl around the world?
"Half of these have nothing to do with social!" James exclaimed mentally. He flipped to the back page.
50) How many times has Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman?
"What the hell!?" James shouted mentally. "How do they know about that? Do they have their own version?"
37) What is the 5,716th digit of Pi?
"Fuck me." James sighed mentally.
~{o}~{o}~
"Well, almost all of you got above ninety percent!" The teacher exclaimed happily. "However, there are some of you," The teacher said, looking at James, and then at Cassidy, "that need to study a lot."
"How could some people not know how many times Sonic has defeated Dr. Eggman?" Someone whispered. "It's obviously-"
"Shush your face hole." The teacher told them. The person snapped their jaw shut, making a loud clack. "Now, I will call up everybody that got one hundred percent on their quiz. Lola."
The Lopunny that dragged Cassidy away walked to the front.
"Diana." The teacher called.
A different girl walked up to the front.
"Laura."
One of the girls Cassidy was with went up.
The teacher kept calling out names, each one had perfect marks. The teacher then walked around the classroom, and started handing back papers to those who didn't get perfect marks. There were only five in total, counting Cassidy and James.
The bell rand for class to be over. Cassidy left the group of girls, and made her way towards James, weaving in and out of people heading for the exit. She stood by his desk, and James stood up as well.
"So, how did you do?" James sighed. He and Cassidy walked out the door, and started heading towards a stairwell.
"Terrible." Cassidy sighed. "I got seventy-one percent." James laughed, and Cassidy felt hurt.
"Seventy-one is terrible?" He asked while trying not to laugh. "I got twenty-three percent!"
"Oh." Cassidy responded. Suddenly, she didn't feel so bad about her mark.
The two walked down the stairs to the first floor. They turned right after getting off the stairs, and started down another hallway. They walked for about two minutes, and then turned left, entering one of the gyms. The two walked past huge rows of balance beams, climbing walls, and other weird setups. They sat down on the floor, and waited for the others.
"First day and you don't have gym clothes. Not the best way to make a first impression." The gym teacher said, exiting his office. He looked at them seriously, and then burst out laughing. "I'm just kidding!" He chuckled. "You should have seen your faces! You were all like "Aaaaah! What's he going to do to us?"" The teacher stood in front of the several students sitting there. "My name is Mr. Mann, but I'll tell you this in about five minutes."
-About 5 Minutes Later-
"My name is Mr. Mann." He announced to the entire gym class. "I had a substitute yesterday, so you should all know what we're doing today." Mr. Mann climbed up the bleachers, and stood up at the top. "An obstacle course!" He exclaimed. "Half of you get dodge balls, half of you get to the start! The ones with dodge balls climb onto the bleachers!"
The half of the class that was running the course went towards the start. They all lined up, Cassidy and James included.
"Runners! On your marks!"
"Good luck!" Cynthia called from the front.
"Get set!"
"You'll need it." Kyle replied.
"Go!"
It wasn't as exciting as the teacher made it sound. They all went from a line up. The moment the person in front of them went, they had to go as well. People on the bleachers were hurling dodge balls rapidly, and the teacher went around the course, throwing them back to the bleachers.
Cassidy ran along the balance beam with ease, and James with a little less grace. Kyle tripped on the beam, and Cynthia ran along it easily. The four ducked behind a large mat that was used for a wall.
"Out of my way!" Kyle exclaimed, shoving James to the side. Kyle raced ahead, and got beaned in the head with a dodge ball.
"Fuck." Kyle swore, and trudged back towards the starting position.
Several people raced forwards, and started crawling under benches, trying to get to the other side. Several people were hit by dodge balls, and had to restart.
Cassidy, Cynthia, and Marco quickly went under the benches, and crawled out just as quick. Garth's fin kept bumping into the benches, and forced him to restart. James managed to crawl under them as well, but not as quickly. He ran towards a hockey net that was set up as a wall to protect the runners from the dodge balls. There were several people milling around behind it, waiting for someone to go as bait.
"Go!" Cynthia shouted. She bolted ahead of the group, and raced towards the next net that was set up. Several people followed her example, and raced forwards. Some of the people passed her, and raced towards the spring board. Someone jumped, and caught their face on the wall they had to scale. They walked towards the start, holding their bleeding nose. The wall was ten feet tall.
James booked it for the spring board. He ran past the three nets, and leaped at the spring board. James flew off the spring board, and his hands caught the edge of the wall. The pulled himself up, and dropped onto a large mat on the other side, hidden by another mat.
Cassidy dropped down next to James, landing softly. Cynthia also made it over the wall, and fell face first onto the mat.
Marco stood at the top of the wall, and crouched down to jump.
Thwack!
Marco was struck in the side of the face with a ball. He fell onto the mat and groaned. He slowly got up, and made his way back towards the start.
"It's just the three of us." Cynthia said to James and Cassidy.
"Yeah, and the fifteen other people behind us." James responded as another person vaulted the wall.
"Three." Started Cynthia.
"Two." Cassidy continued.
"One." James finished.
The three raced towards the mat at the end of the gym. All they had to do was touch it, and they would be done. Cynthia started to get a lead on the group. She bolted forwards, passing James and Cassidy. She was almost there!
Thwack!
Cynthia was hit in the arm. She immediately stopped, and slumped back towards the start, her victory only meters before her.
James was running along side Cassidy. He was on her left side, unintentionally blocking her from the dodge balls, as the bleachers were on their right. James ducked as a ball flew right over his head. He could feel the air tickle the hairs on the back of his neck.
"Crap!" James exclaimed. He and Cassidy ran faster, motivated by the high speed projectiles being hurled at them.
Whap!
A ball hit James in the leg, knocking him off balance, and sending him crashing to the floor. James felt a sharp pain shoot through his knee when he hit the floor. He lay there, his knee in absolute pain. He could feel it slowly repairing from underneath his skin, the unidentified DNA going to work.
Cassidy watched as James tumbled to the floor. She glanced behind her, and he wasn't getting up. Now spurred on by worry, she bolted towards the mat that was only feet from her. She leaped towards it, and was inches from victory.
Smack!
Cassidy was hit in the side. She fell onto the mat, and sighed.
"So close!" She thought. She crawled off the mat, and started walking towards James.
"Are you alright?" She asked. James sat up, and started moving his leg.
"Yeah, I just banged my knee. I'll be fine." He reassured her. He stood up, cringing slightly, and limped towards the start, ready for round two.
~{o}~{o}~
"Most items in the world are manufactured by Sliph co." The teacher told the class, showing an image on the logo on the white board.
James had managed to make it through the entire gym class without too much trouble. Sure he had tripped on the balance beam, and hit his crotch, but that was two hours ago. Cassidy, Cynthia, Marco, and Kyle had managed to finish the course, followed by several other people.
After gym, they went to the cafeteria to get lunch. It was a quiet lunch for most of them. Cassidy, however, was dragged off by the group of girls again, and had lunch with them.
"James!" Cassidy whispered. "Pay attention!"
Jame's attention snapped back towards the front of the room. The teacher was going on about what type of pokeball did what.
"Great..." James sighed mentally. "Only three more hours of this!" Even mentally, his sarcasm was strong.
~{o}~{o}~
The bell rang for the end of class. James woke from his rather peaceful sleep with a start. Grumbling, he stood up, and started making his way for the door. Cassidy fell into step beside him.
"What's wrong?" Cassidy asked, noticing the way he was slumped forwards.
"Nothing..." James groaned. "Just woke from a nice nap is all." The two made their way downstairs, and after a minute, they walked into Shade's room. They were greeted by "The Doctor" and led to the back of the room.
"James," the teacher said once they were within a close enough distance, "Shade has been puy into solitary classes for a day."
"What!? Why!?" James and Cassidy exclaimed simultaneously. The teacher sighed, and beckoned Shade out from behind a structure.
"She bit another student." The teacher sighed. "He was sitting quietly at his desk, and she bit him on the arm."
"That's not true!" Shade exclaimed. "He was hurting my friend!"
"Shade, it's not nice to lie." The teacher told her. Shade sighed in defeat.
"We'll take care of it." James told the teacher. She just nodded, and waved them away.
James carried Shade, while Cassidy walked beside the two. They walked silently down the hallways, passing by people and pokemon alike. They made their way into the lobby, and then exited through the front moment they stepped outside, James set Shade on the ground.
"What happened?" James asked.
"This mean kid was kicking a girl under the table, and was calling her mean names! He also started scribbling on her paper, and said he would hurt her if she told the teacher!" Shade said. She seemed like she was almost ready to cry. "You believe me, right?"
"Of course we believe you Shade." Cassidy reassured her. Shade smiled happily, and bounced around.
"Next time you should tell the teacher instead of biting him." James told her. Shade nodded.
Cassidy, Shade, and James waited about a minute before Marco, Cynthia, and Garth managed to escape the horde of students, and exited the school.
"Sorry we're late." Marco apologized, walking up to the three. "Lance was flirting with girls, Cynthia included." Marco stopped several feet from James, and shook his head. "Honestly, what is it about him that girls like? Is it his phony accent? Is it because his hair is red?"
"I duuno." James said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Let's go!" Cynthia exclaimed. She bolted down the sidewalk, tearing towards the pokemon center that was a few minutes away.
"Not again." Garth sighed.
~{o}~{o}~
The instant James opened the door, Cynthia ran towards her room, and slammed the door closed.
"Weird..." Marco wondered. They all walked through the door, and James closed it behind them, locking it. He threw the keys onto the counter, and then walked over to the table. He picked up the box of pencil crayons that Cassidy had 'borrowed', as well as a blank sheet of paper. He walked towards his and Cassidy's room, and Cassidy followed. He rolled up the sleeping bag, and moved it to the side. He laid on the floor, and Cassidy laid beside him.
"Alright," James said, laying down a sheet of paper, "I know that you know the basics, and can read already, so I'm going to skip the very basics." James told Cassidy.
"Um... Can I show you what I can do?" She asked tentatively. James nodded, and moved to the side, letting her take over. She started writing rapidly on the sheet, tongue sticking slightly out of her mouth as she concentrated. After about a minute of writing, she handed James the paper. "Done." She announced.
"You... You just wrote out the entire alphabet, a word for each, and... and wrote how each letter sounds..." James breathed. "That... That's amazing."
"R-really?" Cassidy asked, her tail wagging happily.
"Absolutely!" James exclaimed, handing her the paper. "Let's make some words, and then we'll start sounding them out."
"Alright!" Cassidy said eagerly. She started writing on the sheet, tongue out once again. Her tail was wagging happily, and whacked James on the side several times. James suddenly reached out, and grabbed her tail.
Cassidy gave a faint "eep" of surprise, her tail twitching in his hands.
"It's so poofy. What's it like having a tail?" James asked her, stroking the length of it with one hand. Cassidy shuddered every time he did that, her tail started twitching erratically.
"I mean, I wouldn't know." James said, remembering last night's dream. "But is it some thing you can consciously control, or is it something else?"
"Please let go." Cassidy whined. James didn't hear her. He kept stroking her bushy tail.
"How well can you control it? Is it like an arm, or is it like your nose? Where you can control it a lot, or only with practice?" James kept stroking her tail.
Garth walked towards Cassidy and James' room. He was bored, and decided to go see what they were doing. He stopped at the closed door, and raised his arm to knock.
"James! That's sensitive!" Cassidy screamed. Garth turned around, eyes wide, and decided to leave the two alone for today.
Authors Note
Hello! Guess what? I got the flu, yay! I cannot talk, my skin is sensitive, I get dizzy when I wake up, and bright lights hurt. Woo! Anyways, I just helped push one of my neighbors trucks out of the snow. It was about 1 1/4 feet, which isn't mush compared to two meters... I hate winter.
Anyways, about the chapter! I decided to give Cassidy a chance to fight back, as well as my usual shenanigans. You know... Adding an antagonist every 2 paragraphs... I sort of suck at writing...
I re-named the FNaF story to something that wasn't already taken, woo!
I'm running out of things to talk about... Oops. I had this entire note to you guys/girls planned out, but that hasn't helped me at all. My brain just decided to trash the entire note while I wasn't looking. ...I don't know how I feel about that...
So, I guess that's it...? I'm sort of awkward in social situations, like talking to a large group of people, or to the 300 or so people that will read this within 3 hours of posting... Oops?
Thanks
