Chapter 28

Erica Meets Logan

About a week after Aeron and I had gotten here, I had learned that I could get up and make my own breakfast without seeming rude. Although, Yugi and Grandpa had to tell me that like a hundred times for me to get the picture. They seemed glad when I did.

That is why I didn't feel funny now making myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast. It was that off brand of Cocoa Pebbles. I forget the name.

I had the bowl filled 4/5's to the brim and now was adding milk into it. I sat the milk carton back down on the counter just as the door opened to reveal a tired looking Yugi.

Oh great. I had planned to avoid Yugi and the others today in case they were mad!

"Morning!" he said with as much excitement he could possibly muster. He seemed extremely tired. Yugi then yawned and rubbed his eye.

Okay, he didn't seem all too mad.

"Morning." I replied. I stuck a spoon in my cereal and carefully carried it to the table to eat it. I sat down, took the spoon, and shoveled a lump of cereal into my mouth.

A minute later, Yugi came out of the kitchen with his own bowl of cereal and sat down next to me.

Alright, if he was mad, would he sit next to me?

Yugi looked over at my cereal. "Erica, I'm not a food expert or anything, but don't people usually eat milk with their cereal?"

I could tell he was joking around with me. So, was he even angry?

"There is milk in there." I replied.

Yugi looked at my breakfast again. "Are you sure? I can't see it."

"There is!"

Yugi laughed a bit. I pouted. This was some sort of silly payback, I knew it!

I took another bite of my cereal. So did he. Yugi was eating the vanilla version of my cereal.

"Say, Yugi?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"Yeah?" the petite duelist answered while playing with his breakfast cereal.

"You… and the others… aren't mad, are you?" I asked hesitantly. I was a bit nervous of the answer.

"Mad at what?"

"You know… yesterday… pairings…"

"Oh, that. No, of course not. Why do you ask?"

"Well," I paused for a minute, nerves still acting up, "it's just, me and Aeron like that sort of thing," my words began to come out of my mouth a bit faster with each word said, and I felt hot tears coming to my eyes, "and you guys had such a reaction yesterday, and I thought you'd hate us now that you knew, and you might thing we're freaks, and-!"

"WHOA! Erica! Slow down! You really think we'd hate you?" Yugi inquired.

I wiped stray tears from my cheeks with the back of my hand and sniffled. I nodded.

I didn't look at Yugi. I didn't want to. I could just feel the hurt radiating from him. I didn't want to see it. I just looked at my bowl of cereal, milk, and tears that fell in while I was crying.

Yugi let out a sigh of what sounded like hurt. "Listen, Erica, we'd never hate either of you for this… well, Bakura might, but me and any of the others will most definitely not."

I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder. I looked up to see Yugi smiling at me. I smiled back.

"We're your friends, right?" Yugi continued. "We accept you as you, not if you do or do not read yaoi." Yugi visibly shivered at the word 'yaoi'.

I giggled. "Yeah, you're definitely my friends. And Aeron's too."

Yugi took his hand off my shoulder and went back to eating his now soggy cereal. I did the same, and we ate in silence for some time.

"Hey, Yugi?" I said.

"Hm?" he sounded.

"Can I ask one more question?"

"Sure."

"You seemed more tired this morning than you usually are in the mornings. How come?"

Yugi bit his lip and looked back down to his breakfast cereal. "Oh, I kept having a dream last night."

"Nightmare?" I inquired sympathetically.

"To me, heck yeah. But, you'd actually like it." Yugi's eyes widened and I heard him curse himself under his breath for saying that last part.

"I would? What was it about?"

Yugi heaved a sigh. "There's no way out now, is there?"

I cocked my head to the right slightly.

Yugi muttered the next word he said in a disgusted tone. "Puzzleshipping."

I "eeped" loudly. "Details! Details!" I squeaked excitedly.

Yugi laughed. "See? I told you you'd like it!"

"Details!" I persisted. I began to hop in my seat. I needed details. NOW!

We heard someone come in. We turned to find Atem. "I thought I heard you two talking in here." He said.

A grumpy voice behind Atem spoke. "Atem! Why in Ra's name did you wake me up?" A messy haired Aeron walked out from behind said ex-pharaoh.

"I didn't wake you up. I just happened to be passing the open door when you fell off your 'bed'."

Aeron growled.

"Uh, Aeron? Your hair is messy." Yugi pointed out.

"Eh? Oh, I was tossing 'n turning a lot last night, probably." She said.

"Nightmare?"

"Uh, yeah, nightmare. Let's go with that!"

"So it wasn't a perverted dream about Joey, then?" I queried sarcastically.

"SHUT UP!"

All of us in the room, excluding Aeron, laughed.

Aeron, once again, growled. "I'm going back to bed!"

Aeron headed back to the living room. Yugi looked at me and smirked. I got what he was planning the second he did. I was having the same thought. I grinned back.

"Alright." Yugi said. "Too bad Joey's going to be here in an hour."

Aeron stopped in her tracks. She turned around and put on a smile. "So… what's for breakfast?"

"I'd fix my hair first." I said.

Aeron grumbled and went to the bathroom to find a brush.

After a minute, we heard the bathroom door shut. Yugi stood up, went to the phone, grabbed it, and began dialing a number. "Now I have to call Joey and ask him to be here in an hour."

Atem, who had been in the kitchen getting his own breakfast, who had also heard the whole thing, came out of said kitchen shaking his head. He sat a bowl with two boiled eggs in it on the table. "That girl is too love-struck to realize when she's being lied to."

"You got that right." I replied.


It was nearly 11:00 am, 10:45 to be exact. Joey was due to be here in 15 minutes. Aeron, who had ate barely any food for breakfast. We had tried everything to get her to eat, but she'd have none of it.

Yugi, Atem, and I agree that she's too in love for her own good. Saving her food to give to Joey to get on his good side. Was she planning to starve herself?

But, to top all that, Yugi still hadn't told me the details of his dream! I have been waiting for 45 minutes! Was he avoiding the subject?

I had enough. I wanted details, NOW!

"Yuugiiiiiiiii‼" I whined.

Yugi looked up from his sudoku puzzle he had gotten out about 40 minutes ago confused. Aeron chuckled.

"What?" he asked her.

"You've done it now." she giggled.

Yugi looked fully confused now. "What have I done?"

"Well," Aeron elucidated, "Erica only stretches out her words in a whiney voice when she's impatient and/or ignored, whether it be in a conversation, real life, or a subject she wants to know about."

Yugi gulped and looked back at his sudoku.

Oh, no! I'm not giving this up without a fight! I thought, growling.

"Yuuuugiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Detaaiils!" I whined again.

Now Atem looked puzzled. "Details? What's she talking about Yugi?"

Yugi gave out a defeated sigh. "My dream."

"Oh. Why can't you tell us your dream?"

"Because I don't want to relive it, and I know you sure as heck don't want to live it."

"Why?"

"One disgusting word: Puzzleshipping."

Atem fell out of his seat with a "GAH!" Aeron eeped a "Tell!" and I just repeated the word "Details!"

"Do I have to?" Yugi groaned.

"YES!" Aeron and I shouted.

Yugi groaned once again and told the details. Atem had left the room before so. It turned out that the dream was just fluff. Aeron, disappointed, actually began to eat again. I, on the other hand, was fully satisfied and had written down each and every word so I could turn it into a Fanfic.


Folding up the napkin I wrote on and shoving it in my pocket, I looked over at Yugi who had his head on the table muttering something about feeling like he was going to hurl again.

"You okay, Yugi?" I asked.

"Not really." He replied.

At that moment, the phone rang. Atem answered it in the room he was in (we know that because we heard him, he was in the room next to us). After a second, said pharaoh stuck his head in the door. "It's Joey. He says he's at the mall and needs help."

Aeron perked up at "Joey". "Help with what?"

Atem put the phone back to his ear and asked that, then, receiving an answer, put his hand back over the phone. "He says that all we need to know is the word, 'Bakura'."

"What's Bakura done this time?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know, but I think we should head over there."

I had already got up from my seat and had put my dishes away when Atem said Bakura. I was currently putting my coat and shoes on. "Waaay ahead of ya." I said heading toward the game shop.

"Wait for us, Erica!" I heard Aeron call behind me. I also heard tableware clattering.

"Hurry up slowpokes! I'm almost to the front door!" I called back.


When the four of us got to the mall, we expected something (since it was Bakura). But what we saw… well, let's put it this way… you thought the Bakurae had feminine looks before?

Apparently, one of the stores was having a fashion show. From what I can guess, the manager was running short on models and had asked the two silverettes to be volunteer models. Did I mention that it was a show for teenage girl's fashion?

Ryou was trying his hardest up there while Bakura just stood there stiff and with a bit of angry attitude on the runway. Though, the manager seemed to love Bakura's… pose. It did match the outfit was wearing.

Bakura was wearing a black turtle neck; a plaited skirt that had a black background and orange, yellow, and red flames rising from it from the bottom hem of the skirt (not real flames, of course); blackish-grayish tights; and black- were they go-go boots?- boots that reached his knees and had buckles on them running up the middle. His hair was tied up in some sort of wild bun with some pieces hanging down to frame his face. These strands had a hair extension on each side that was red-black striped. I think he went for the Goth look.

Ryou, on the other hand, went for a brighter, happier feeling. He flaunted and posed pretty much like a girl would on the runway. His actions, I say, matched the look he went for. A bright pink shirt under a furry, white jacket; light blue skinny jeans that looked a bit won around the knee area; furry, white ankle boots; and white gloves was what he was wearing. Ryou had his hair into two long braids and had a pink beanie in top of his head.

But what got me was their tops. Someone had stuck something in their tops to make it look like they had breasts.

… Don't tell them this, but they made pretty convincing girls.

Atem and Aeron were on the floor laughing. I would have joined them, but I kept a straight face in case Bakura were to look our way. I must say, it was extremely hard.

"Hey!" Yugi and I looked in the direction of the shout. We saw Joey running up to us with a video camera in his hand. "There ya are!"

"Hey, Joey, what's the problem?" Yugi asked.

"Yea, I thought that Bakura was up to something naughty again. Not starring in a fashion show!" I added.

"I knew dat if I said Bakura, you'd come runnin'. What I need help with is dat I need you two ta get up ta da front and film our lil' fashion models." Joey laughed evilly as he handed Yugi his video camera.

"Wait. Why can't you do that?" Yugi asked.

"You and Erica are smaller than me. You can squeeze in 'n out of da crowd." Joey explained. "An' don't'cha want some Bakura blackmail?"

"You know, that could come in handy." I thought aloud. "We're in!"

"What?" Yugi opposed.

"Great! Now jus' wheedle in there an' get to da front!"

"Alright!" I grabbed Yugi's arm and began to drag him to the crowd, not without his protests, I might add. "See ya in a few!"


"Erica, I'm not sure about this. What if Bakura sees us!" Yugi disputed.

"Relax! Do you really think Bakura would do anything to us? Ry wont let anything happen to us!" I argued. We arrived at the front. The two Bakurae were still up there, thankfully.

"Still…"

"Oh, just shut up and film them already!"

"Okay…"


Bakura just couldn't believe what his Hikari had gotten him into. Why did Ryou have to be so sweet, nice, and helpful? Anyone who comes crying to him, he'll help. No matter what he has to do. Like dressing up as girls to be in a silly, girly fashion show!

He was so uncomfortable. His tights were riding up, his Yadounushi was flaunting around like a stupid girl, and he was being filmed by that idiotic blond girl and the bakayaro pharaoh's midget-light! He had had enou- wait. What was that part?

He looked out into the crowd again and saw Yugi holding up a video camera and Erica smiling and waving at him in the front row.

"Hey! Ryou!" he called out.

Ryou stopped his posing and looked back at his darker half. "Hm?"

"Do you know we're being filmed?" Bakura inquired.

"Huh?"

Sighing, Bakura motioned out to the crowd. He pointed to the front row where the duo stood. Ryou's eyes followed Bakura's motion and saw his friends in the crowed with a video camera. He gasped.

With that done, Bakura had one last thing to do. "They're dead!" he yelled and stomped off stage.


"They're dead!"

Yugi and I gulped. We looked at each other and shouted: "RUN‼"

We ran. Fast. Like roadrunner. For our lives. After making our way through the crowd, we dashed straight to our friends. Yugi tossed Joey his camcorder and he and I his behind our bewildered friends.

"What's going on?" asked Atem, whom Yugi was hiding behind.

"HE'S GONNA KILL US‼‼" Yugi and I screamed.

"Oh, come on. I doubt he'll do that… now, who are we talking about?" Aeron said.

"Alright! Where are the midgets?" Bakura growled as he stomped his way over to us. Ryou was holding onto Bakura by the waist trying to hold him back.

"IT WAS JOEY'S IDEA‼" Yugi and I, who were apparently the midgets, screamed.

Joey turned to us. "Thanks." He said sarcastically. He turned back to Bakura and Ryou, who was still trying to stop the angered Yami, to no avail. "Yeah, it was my idea. What'cha gonna do 'bout it?"

"I'll just have to kill you then‼" Bakura declared, rolling up his sleeves.

"I'd like ta see ya try!" Joey shot back.

Even though I was hiding behind her, I could just tell that Aeron's eyes were glittering and she was in Joey-land again.

"He's so brave!" she whispered in love-struck amazement. I sweatdropped.

Atem put his hand to his head. "Come on, guys. Can't we settle this without violence? I don't want to be kicked out of the mall."


On the other side of the mall, Margherita's minions were doing… well… this authoress doesn't really know what.

Ahem… in JCPenny's…

"Logan! What the hell are you doing?" Sara yelled at said Logan. The dark skinned boy was fiddling with… well… something.

"I'm playing around with my magic ring-thing! What does it look like I'm doing!" He yelled back.

Logan was flipping this metal ring that his master, Margherita, gave him. It was just that. A small, silver, metal ring. It was about as big as the circle you make when you put your hand in an OK sign. He could put it up to his eye, and it would encircle it completely.

"Logan, that's not a magic ring-thing. Weren't you paying attention when Master told us what they are?" Sara argued.

"Uhh…" Logan had a flashback to that moment.


"Now, listen here," Margherita demanded as she passed her three minions a small, metal ring each, "these are Spark Finders. If you look through these rings, you see the Soul Sparks a person has… You have to look at a person to see that. If the person is yellow, they have a weak soul. If they are orange, they have a strong soul. If they are red, they have a powerful soul. If you flick your wrist while holding it (not letting go), it'll show you the exact number of sparks a person's soul has."

The four were sitting atop a mall. Kara and Sara were paying attention while Logan was busy looking through the skylight at fashion show models. That Goth with the white hair's hot! Logan thought.


"No." he answered.

Sara whacked the boy upside the back of his head.

"OW! What the hell was that for!"

"You're an idiot!" Sara retorted.

"Well, you're a bitch!" Logan shot back.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"

The two brawled for like ten minutes. During then, Kara just shook her head and looked at some clothes. Those two fight just like a married couple. I hope they don't get too angry and try out the Shadow powers Master gave to us on each other.

Two minutes later, she heard an explosion somewhere in the store.

"Wow! Did I just do that?" Kara heard Logan yell excitedly. She looked over to see the boy looking at his hands, which were glowing with navy blue flames.

"Don't yell that out loud! People'll think we're terrorists!" Sara yelled at him. A young couple who were running out of the store- along with the rest of the stores occupants- stopped and stared at her with a weird look. Sara saw that and looked at them. "We're not terrorists! Don't worry! Now, be on your way!" she reassured them nervously. The young couple nodded and left.

"Smooth." Logan commented.

"Shut up!"

Logan threw his arms up and stated, "Make me!" Another explosion, although this one closer, sounded. A second one followed.

"Stop doing that!" Sara demanded.

"I can do whatever I want! I swear, if I could, I-" Logan began.

Kara had had enough. "SHUT UP‼ BOTH OF YOU‼"

Sara and Logan jumped in surprise. They looked at Kara, who had a dark and angry expression on her face, fearfully.

"She's scary." Logan squeaked.

"Tell me about it." Sara agreed.

Kara walked to the stores exit, passing the fear-struck two. "Now, before you two start brawling again, I say we do what we're here for. Either we win a pyramid or a soul." Kara stopped at the exit to see that the two were exactly where they were a minute ago. "Now, WOULD YOU TWO HURRY UP? ‼ WE HAVE A JOB TO DO‼"

Sara and Logan gulped and hurried after the usually level-headed, patient, and quiet girl.


Ryou had finally convinced Bakura to quit fighting. The two were now in a changing room close to where Aeron, Yugi, Atem, Joey, and I were.

To tell the truth, I felt more relieved I've ever felt in my entire life at that moment. I thought Bakura was going to kill me!

Everything seemed peaceful, actually, right now. Just another day at the mall. That is, until something exploded here in the mall.

At the loud and sudden noise, I shrieked and grabbed hold of Yugi's (he was standing next to me, BTW) arm.

After a second, Yugi spoke up. "Um, Erica, could you let go of my arm?"

I opened my eyes, which had been previously shut, and looked at Yugi. "A-ano. Sorry‼ Just was surprised, is all." I let go of Yugi's arm and laughed nervously, scratching the back of my head as I did so.

"It's okay. I was surprised too. I'm just used to freak things happening." He said, smiling.

Coming from our right, we saw Ryou and Bakura running to us. When they arrived, Ryou asked, panting, "Did you guys hear that?"

"Yup. And we know Erica sure did." Atem replied.

"Hey!" said I sounded… (*groans* I'm running out of ways to put my words without seeming redundant. Ryou: I kind of thought it was cute. Me: *blushes* Really?)

"So that's that girly scream I heard." Bakura said.

I turned to him angrily. "FYI: I am a girl!"

I noticed something. Bakura's shirt was in his hand. Not on his…bare, masculine, well-toned chest…

KAMI-SAMA! Am I beginning to blush?

I turned away sharply. "W-we should get out of here. A-and Bakura, you should put your shirt on, y-you'll freeze out there without it!" I began to walk away.

"What if I don't want to?" Bakura argued.

"J-JUST PUT YOUR DANG SHIRT ON‼" I yelled at him and sauntered off. Kami-sama, I hope that blush goes away. How embarrassing.

Aeron chuckled and ran to catch up with me. I heard Bakura grumble behind me also.

Before we could get any farther, we heard another explosion.

"GYAH‼" I latched onto Yugi's arm again. I heard Aeron laugh beside me.

"Erica, I don't think Yugi likes you grabbing his arm every time an explosion sounds." She said while laughing.

"It's alright. I don't mind." Yugi said.

I let go of Yugi's arm once again. This was getting awkward.

"Why let go?" Bakura asked. "You know you'll just grab hold again when another explosion sounds."

"No I wont!" I countered. Another explosion sounded. Guess what I did. "Ya know, you have a point! Is it all right Yugi?"

"It's alright with me." He replied.

Aeron face-palmed and shook her head. "You're hopeless."

"Shut up!" I yelled.


Kara, Sara, and Logan stood on a balcony that overlooked the large square in the middle of the indoor mall. Kara took out her Spark Finder and put it up to her eye. She let her gaze sweep over the mall's occupants, most of which left from the sound of the three explosions. While checking out all of the persons, she saw a hint of red. Kara zoomed in on the red person (she had learned how to do that not long ago). The black haired girl flicked her wrist, while still keeping hold on the ring, and a 32 appeared in the middle of said ring.

Logan and Sara hadn't said a word. They were worried Kara might get mad at them again. When Kara spoke, they looked to her.

"Well, well, well. Look at this. We have a soul with 32 Soul Sparks. Pretty powerful." Kara said.

"32? That's a lot." Sara commented.

"I say we challenge him and take his soul!" Logan announced. "That will give us a head start on souls!"

"Logan. He's a she." Kara deadpanned.

"Huh?" Logan remarked, surprised. "Well, then we'll take her soul. I'll go challenge her right now."

Logan was about jump off the balcony (Atem: That could kill him! Bakura: That balcony was not that high. I could jump off it and survive. Atem: Still, why would he do that? Bakura: It's a thief thing, y'all wouldn't understand. Me: WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!) when Sara stopped him by putting a hand on his arm.

"Wait a minute. Why do you get to challenge her?" she questioned.

"Because I called it." Logan answered.

"Still, what if I want to challenge her?"

"Well, too bad!"

Kara sighed. "I think Logan should challenge her."

"WHAT?" Sara shouted at hearing this.

"Yeah!" Logan said.

Sara walked over to her sister and asked, "Why?"

"Because," Kara explained, "32 Soul Sparks is a lot. None of us are experienced, too. There's a 75% percent chance that we won't win. Do you want to be the one to lose and tell Margherita of your loss?"

Sara thought for a moment. "No. Man, Sis, I didn't know you could be that…"

"Thanks. Now come on, we need to catch up with Logan."

Logan had already left to go find his challenge-ie.


At a food court (Guess who thought of going there…), Aeron, Joey, Atem, Ryou, and Bakura, were drinking smoothies and eating French fries while watching Erica being paranoid and Yugi trying to calm her down. Erica was still holding onto Yugi's arm, BTW.

Aeron shook her head. "People could mistake them as a couple."

"Yeah." Joey agreed. "'S a good thing Mokuba ain't here."

"Yes." Atem concurred. "He'd get really jealous."

Ryou sighed. These past few days have been like a bad dramadey on TV. He thought.


Logan was peeking at our group of heroes from behind a pop machine. Kara and Sara were behind him.

"So," Sara said, "how are you going to get their attention?"

"Just walking up to them would be too obvious." Logan stated. "We need something so elaborate and complicated, that it'll take the writer days to think up!"

The twins blinked. "What the hell are you talking about?" Sara asked. She then leaned over to her sister. "I think he's lost it." she whispered. Kara nodded.

"Which girl is it? I see four." Logan inquired.

Kara peered out from behind the red soda machine. "Logan, there's only two girls."

"What about the girls with the white…?"

"Those are boys… with long hair."

"Oh… does that make me gay?"

"Huh?"

"I thought the one with the white hair and the dark look was a girl." Logan pointed to our very own Bakura while saying this. "He was in the fashion show I believe and I thought he was hot."

Kara's eye twitched. "No comment."

A second later, Logan snapped his fingers. "I got it!"


Yugi sighed. "Erica, the mall announced that it was just a few machines in the back of JCPenny's. There's noting to be worried about."

"I'm allowed to be paranoid!" I countered.

Yugi sighed again. "Can you at least let go of my arm, though? My sandwich keeps wanting to fall apart, so it's hard to eat it with one hand."

I blinked and let go of his arm. "Sorry." I mumbled.

"It's alright."

Ugh. I. Am. An. IDIOT‼ I probably look like a weak, scaredy-cat now! Double ugh.

Yugi went back to eating his sandwich. I looked over to the others who were talking away to themselves, drinking smoothies.

I turned my back to the food court and looked out to the mall square. I swear, did Kaiba own this building? This place is huge! I mean, it had a square large enough to have a probably 10 by 10 foot rock platform in the middle with a moat around it that had small fountains in it. I think I even saw a river somewhere in a stare too!

I saw something on the side of the fountain. I looked closer and saw the KaibaCorp logo on it. … I sweatdropped.

I turned back around. I blinked confusedly.

"Ok! I swear there was a food court right there‼" I yelled, motioning to the empty space in front of me.

In place of the food court was a dark area. The atmosphere was swirling black and violet. I looked at the ground below me. All black. "Alright, where'd the white tiled floor go." I said more than asked.

I turned back around. "Come to think of it, WHERE'D THE MALL GO‼‼"

Everything was black swirling violet. Well… this was strange.

"Hello there." A voice echoed from the darkness.

(Erica: Are you kidding me? Me: Nope!)

"Are you kidding me?" I yelled.

(Erica: *sweatdrop*)

"Nope." The voice said.

(Erica: *double sweatdrop*)

A boy walked out from the darkness. He had dark skin and what looked like one of those hairstyles that looked like he had no hair… or, at least, that's what I thought.

"Hello, I'm Logan, and I want to play a game with you." he said.

"Why would I want to play a game with you Mister Master of Clichés?" I retorted. "I mean, how many movies have Hollywood directors used this scenario? How many authors? I don't want to sound rude, but have you ever thought of originality?"

Logan's eyes narrowed. "Shut up and play me."

"Well!" I said to myself, annoyed. If you've noticed my sudden change in attitude, being transported from one dimension that was filled with many colors to a place with only two depressing dyes can make you cranky.

There was a short silence. Then Logan asked, "In any case, what is your answer? Play a game with me? Or not?"

Sheyikes! Looooong list! I guess i got carried away with the shippings in last chapter.

Oh yes, I have a question. I realized a while back that I have been spelling Yugi's last name Motto intsead of the correct Mutou. Do you guys think i should spell it right from now on or keep it the way i started? I'm just too lazy to go back and change it. X)
