Recap: Part 1
The Author (Me- Bojack) is driving along a dusty highway in a red 1968 Shelby GT 500.
Bojack: "On the 31st of October, a story of mine was presented to the Fanfiction.net community."
Cactuses can be seen flying by as the car speeds along
Bojack: "It was a fan story for the game Breath of Fire 3." He pauses briefly. "I had been stumbling through an ocean of fan fiction for this game since I was a freshman in high school. Then, something lead me to the website that you're on right now- FF.net." He pauses again to adjust his sunglasses. "I found the BoF section and began skimming through it- and I came upon a story written by TioRankP. It was called 'Untouchable' and I was hooked on it instantly."
Flash back of me looking at computer screen and reading
Bojack: "After a read it for a bit, I decided to give a try and my own BoF3 fic. I had a couple of other fics out as well. One was the Gunslinger-
Cut to scene of Vincent Valentine in a shootout with various attackers. Cut to scene of Vincent in the clinic. "You're dying, Vincent." Explains the Doctor. Cut to scene of the casino as Charles speaks. "I want Valentine dead."
Bojack: "It's not done yet, but it will be. I also had an InuYash fan fiction that no one liked. Apparently it didn't jive with the whole mushy- fluff thing that the fans wanted. I had to drop it because it was such a dismal fan failure..."
Scene of an older Kagome holding her eldest son as he lies bleeding on the ground. A figure in a black cloak rides up to her and drops down a letter. "If you ever want to see you're grandson alive, then you'll follow the instruction on that." "My hands are just a bloody as the kidnappers because I chose to walk out on you, but I'll make them all pay." An older (human) Inuyasha tells Kagome.
Bojack: "I also had a few others back then too, but none of this is relevant to what I'm getting to." He pauses. "The story was comedy at its core, plain and simple. I didn't want to make an epic romantic drama like Tio had because I wanted something that could stand on its own, not as a contemporary of her fic."
More cactuses
Bojack: "One key element was the same as hers, it would focus around the relationship of Rei and Momo. That couple had been a favorite of mind since I got the game and started surfing the net." He pauses. "There was going to be comedy, and a lot of it if I could help it. The thing was, somewhere along the line, I kept finding myself looking at scenes that seemed pretty serious and dramtic." He checks the rear-view mirror. "This wasn't a problem, mind you- at least not for me and most of the readers." He pauses again. "Critics were unavoidable, you'll almost always write something that will offend of upset someone whether it was your intention to or not."
Stops at a train track and looks and looks around, then continues
Bojack: "Now all of you may be wondering why I'm talking to you in a scene that was clearly taken from the 2nd volume of 'Kill Bill', and I don't blame you. So much has happened with this story that it's practically grown beyond my control, so I'm going to devote this episode to getting all of the readers caught up and up to date so that I can move this story right along."
Bojack: Hello, I'm Bojack, the author of this story and apparently an on and off extra/ plot device for it.
Tio: Hello, I'm TioRankP, the author of "Untouchable" and I played "Tio the Hammer Fairy" in episode 5 and myself in episode 10.
Zinic: Hello, I am Zinic, not currently posting anything. I help with the continuity and grammatical issues of the story.
Bojack: big moral support too. Anyway, we're going to look at a series of clips from the first five episodes and trying to make some sort of sense out of them.
Zinic: I just hope the 'fans' don't figure out that this is just a lame clip show.
Tio: Hai, me too, Bojack.
Bojack: I prefer to think of it as a tribute. Now lets get onto the clips. I'll start by telling you that this is the first scene from the first chapter.
Ryu was going to stay with Nina in Windia for a while, but Momo had to get back to the tower to take care of a few things at the Tower Ruins. Momo had been just fine in going by herself, but Nina didn't like the idea of her walking all that way on her own- the teleportation machines had been temporarily put out of service by a magnetic discharge when Myria's Floating Eden was destroyed. Now this posed a problem, as Nina didn't want Ryu to leave, so with only one other option remaining, she insisted that Rei go with her. The Worren had been less then thrilled by the aspect of having to be alone with the Engineer, but Ryu was finally able to convince him to go.
Bojack: Exposition! This is one of two of my fics that have it.
Tio: "The Cell" being the other, right?
Bojack: Yes, but the cell's was actually much more to the point and less along the lines of a way of covering what could have been an extra chapter in just one bulky paragraph.
Zinic: Like in this story.
Bojack: Bingo! I wasn't sure about my writing style yet, so I just glossed over the intro and used that lame exposition paragraph. I was too eager to get the story. Lets see the next scene.
Scene of Rei and Momo walking along through the woods and then stopping to get into an argument, and almost a fight, but then stopping and going on.
Bojack: Anyone who can't see the romance in that has to be "crazy"! (Sarcastically)
Tio: The tension is nice.
Zinic: Too bad that you won't bother to learn how to use html. tags or you could have shown "crazy" as italic.
Bojack: Real clever. Now, that scene was pretty much reflective of how I felt about the two characters initial relationship.
Zinic: Its also reflective of all the other scenes like it in the other Rei/Momo fics.
Bojack: Thanks for the complement! (Sarcastic tone.) On to the next clip. This scene was the result of the finding the strange plant and then the smoke that it made in the fire. I'll let the readers do the math.
Rei finally woke up, suffering from a bad headache. He then rolled over onto his side and felt something against him, or someone. "What the hell?" He thought. He slowly shifted onto his other side and saw that what he had been afraid of was true.
There was Momo, lying there, asleep. Her long orange hair was hanging down over her face and her long, rabbit ears were hanging down on the sides of her face. Her body was moving gently in unison with her breathing.
Rei then lifted up the blanket that they were sharing and looked down at himself. He choked when he realized that he wasn't wearing anything, and as far as he could see, neither was Momo.
And so, it didn't take long for the magnitude of the situation to don on the Tiger. But, there was really nothing that he could think to say, except for what he always said when he couldn't think of anything else.
"Well, doesn't this beat all." He said, while rubbing his palms across his forehead. Bojack: The "morning after" scene, which continues into episode two. This had me a little nervous, because I didn't want it to be tacky.
Zinic: Then why did you write the fic in the first place?
Bojack: I'll ignore that. After the end of this chapter, I got a couple of reviews, one of which kept in my mind. He is the condensed version of it.
Rei is not a worren. And you put in it that worren posses super speed when they don't. In BOF4 Cray who was a REAL worren was slow as hell, he was like garr, strong but slow. Momo was the second slowest after garr, and no way in hell could she succesfully hit rei.
Bojack: The guy who sent me this could only be identified as "Ryan". What bothered me about it was that the guy failed to see that I wasn't going for realism here. Maybe I overreacted a little by calling him out in the next chapter. Oh well. Otherwise, everyone seemed to like it.
Zinic and Tio: I did.
Bojack: Thank you. Also, this was the second contact I had received from Tio, I had e-mailed her earlier and asked her if she- the obviously superior writer- would look at it, and she did. I was overjoyed when I saw that she liked it. I also got my first contact from Shannon- now known as RaftRider- in the review section, she loved it and I was overjoyed at that to, because she would become one of my few true steadfast fans- which includes the present company with me now.
On another note, look at this, its from a person who chose to call them self "you know who."
Why is this crap still here? I thought you had the dignity to remove it a long time ago. It's a shame, and not to mention a surprise, that there's actual people who like it, even better writers than you.
Remove it. this steaming piece of fertilizer is only stealing valuable space here on FF.Net
Bojack: What a SON OF A BITCH, I hope that you're reading this chapter right now because I'm gonna keep that review as something to laugh at when I'm sad about actual relevant things. AND IF "YOU KNOW WHO" WANT TO CONTACT ME IN A WAY THAT I CAN GET BACK TO HIM/HER. THAT'S RIGHT- I'M CALLING YOU OUT MOTHER FER. Anyway, on to the next scene.
Morning after scene... Bojack: Looking back, I admit that the scene was a little too "Halmark-ish" for my liking, they realized their feeling to easily. But as Fred Delles from the "Cool But Archives" proved- Romance can be obscenely funny and bizarre. Now we're in episode two, where Momo and Rei are now a couple- groan- and they figure out that plant caused them to sleep with each other.
Tio: And now they'll head back to the Tower, right?
Bojack: Exactly. Chapter two lead to my first reviews from "Wood Elf and Kitty", Boko (the Guitar-Playing Chokobo) and Kohran Kurogane.
Momo looked up at him, she was speechless. She just leaned her head against his chest for a moment. "Rei. you're never what you seem to be, just when I think I know you." She began. "You surprise me, with something like this." She said, smiling as she looked up into his eyes. She smiled and kissed him gently. She then got up, her long copper-colored hair poured down as she stood up, the long dark strands hanging around her body.
Zinic: Someone likes Momo!
Bojack: Guilty as charged, I guess I always just had a thing for exotic women like her in videogames. I threw in a bit of a "lime" scene and then had them decide to go to the tower together.
Tio: Now for chapter three.
"Hey, Momo, how do you think that stuff affected us like that?" Rei asked her. The Engineer looked at him. "I don't know exactly, it probably has some sort of chemical in it that lowers our minds ability for logical thinking. that makes us act so weird." She said, sighing out loud. "But, no matter what happens, I will never stray from my duties as a scientist and pioneer of the never ending search for knowledge!" She exclaimed, striking a dramatic pose as miniature fireworks set off behind her. As this happened, she became all starry-eyed.
Rei couldn't help but smiled at the unusual display of enthusiasm. "Very moving." Rei said with his eyes closed and his hand at the back of his head.
"You bet it is!" Momo said, striking another pose.
Tio: Very kawai.
Bojack: Indeed, this was when I started inserting various anime fodder into the story. The story will be lighthearted for a while after this. I like the idea of Momo being so dramatic about her love of science that it set off all of those anime clichés.
Zinic: The part with the robots is a bit off in terms of the story's ach.
Bojack: Yes, I planned to do more with that idea, but it didn't work out. The next key point is the elevator scene, which is heavy on the mush if you know what I mean. I guess I was feeling in a romantic mood at the time. The hinting at Momo's maternal instinct never lead to anything... and I'm sure now if it will play into the story again.
Tio: I thought it was cute.
Meanwhile, back in Windia, a certain princess was completely in the dark about as to what was happening with her two friends. namely, a certain tiger-striped man and a certain bunny-eared woman.
She looked up her favorite blue haired dragon appeared in front of her. "Ryu, what do you think happened to those two?" She asked him.
Ryu shrugged. "Why not contact the Tower; they might know something about their location there." Ryu suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Nina exclaimed, getting up and running off to get the two-way radio she had in her room.
Dark Knight Raven looked down at the spot where the Mimerlia Bushes had been. "They're gone." He said to something that couldn't be seen.
"Find them, Raven, find them! The Mimerlia plants can't fall into the wrong hands."
"I know, Master Lore." Raven replied.
Bojack: Those two scenes were to set the stage for the next chapter and for the future of the whole story. Chapter three was really generating a lot of feedback and it would lead to my first contact with Ryu-sama, who would later become an advisor of sorts to me on another story I was working on.
Tio: They were eating it up!
Zinic: The extra charaters also complicates the whole thing as well. On to chapter four.
Bojack: There isn't much to this chapter, it was mostly done as a way to get Ryu and Nina into the loop of the story and involve them more. Also, Ryu's speech scene worked pretty well.
Zinic: In a nutshell, we have a story about sex and drugs.
Bojack: So far, yes. But there is more to it. I'm pretty happy with Momo's remark about the situational anime physics.
A strange man with pale blond hair stopped in front of the door to the tower. He looked down at the map he was holding. "Hmm, this looks like the right spot." He said as he looked back up at the door. He then noticed a speaker next to the door with an inscription underneath it that read: "Press button and wait for response, please speak clearly into the speaker."
Zinic: Hark, the introduction of the first original character!
Bojack: I wanted to expand the cast for many reasons, one was to help enhance the dialogues in the story. I also needed another intellect around so that Momo wouldn't be left with all of the technical info and end up sounding like a mouth piece for the info that I couldn't fit into the story in a normal way...
...Though, I soon found that I liked him a lot more then I expected and began expanding his character as well, as all of the readers will see later on.
Zinic: Coming up next is one of the most defining moments for the story.
Tio: I hope this is my big scene.
Bojack: It is. And I would like to state that this scene grew out of a need to make it very clear that this story was completely random, and for the most part- had no socially redeeming qualities.
Ryu looked around, he suddenly realized that he was floating through a great multi-colored void filled with random things. like original scripts from Breath of Fire 3, the version were Ryu talks. The Dragon reached up and grabbed one of the loose-leaf scripts and skimmed through it. "Hmm, wow, I have some good lines. why'd they cut them.?" He wondered out loud.
"Shame on you!" Said a loud feminine voice. Ryu jumped suddenly to see a strange girl in front of him. It was a short, thin girl with long blond hair- with pink highlights. She was wearing a long, sparkling dress over her slender body and butterfly-like wings swayed behind her.
Bojack: Wait for it...
"Who the hell are you?" Ryu asked in confusion.
The Girl smiled and the air around seemed to sparkle when she did. Ryu started to relax, until, she pulled out a gigantic hammer and hit him with it.
"Ow! What was that for?!" He exclaimed.
The girl struck a pose. "Sill Baka-head, my name is Tio Rank P and I'm your fairy guide for this little drug-induced freak out." She replied happily as little stars twinkled behind like in all those anime scenes.
"But. I'm not freaking out." Ryu replied hesitantly.
"You will by, silly." She said as she raised her hammer.
"Oh no!" Ryu yelled as the girl swung herself around and put all of her body weight into hitting him and sending him propelling across the void.
Tio: Yay!
Bojack: I was so impressed with Tio's story "Untouchable", that I felt that she needed to be honored in some way, so I went out on a limb and asked her if she'd like to play a part in my story.
Tio: And I said yes.
Bojack: After she sent me a basic description of herself as she wanted to be portrayed, I took it from there. At first I wasn't sure as to what she would be- but I knew I wanted to have her featured in the hallucination scene. Then, an idea hit me like a ton of bricks!
Zinic: The Baka Fairy!
Bojack: Exactly, I was a huge fan of Poe's web comic "Exploitation Now" and I there was a character in it called the Baka Fairy. She would come in and look all sweet and harmless, but it would turn out that she had a giant hammer that she used to punish people for having dirty thoughts or doing perverse things.
Zinic: Echi!
Bojack: Her personality was perfect to relate to Tio, in the sense that she had a seemingly unlimited level of exuberance and enthusiasm. She also spoke what I like to call Otaku Japanese- the basic words that those fans at the conventions can say.
Zinic: "Kawaii", "Nani", "Hai", etcetera.
Bojack: Exactly. Tio became the "Tio Fairy", who's mission was to "guide" Ryu through his drugged out quest. But I felt it would be funnier if she was also the source of his torment as well.
Tio: I was more then happy to be in the fic, and I love being able to tease little Ryu-chan like that. I was just a bit surprised at the way you had me acting so anime-ish.
Bojack: The Fairy and this whole sequence would be full of anime clichés and traditional imagery, as well as a few unexpected quests and scenes.
Tio: Explain the scene with "Musashi" in it.
Bojack: That was a way of making a reference to a game that I could never decide if I liked or hated it. The game- in the long run- was a waste of my time. And, I think that it was expected to do MUCH better then it actually did.
Zinic: Squaresoft had started to think that it was infallible.
It was a tall man with blue skin and pointed ears. Long brown hear hung down his back and a red bandana was on his head. He was wearing a white button-up shirt and blue jeans and a pair of cowboy boots. A saber hung from his belt.
"Oh no, not another nutcase?" Ryu exclaimed in fear.
The man smiled. "That's right, you hopped up freak, I'm the author of this story, Bojack, and I'm here to send you on your way." He announced to the blue haired young man as he pulled out a giant club from seemingly nowhere.
"Huh?" Ryu asked.
"That's right, the Magical Mystery Tour. I'm sending you back home on a one- way ticket out freakville, you damned dirty hippy!" He yelled raising his club. "It's time for a momentary lapse of reason, buddy!" Bojack yelled.
And with that, Bojack sent Ryu screaming off into the sunset.
Bojack: I believe that this is pretty self explanatory.
Back in Wonderland.
Bojack and Tio are sitting in the field drinking tea.
"What did you think of that guy?" Asked Bojack as he took a sip of tea.
Tio looked up at him. "Ryu-chan was okay, cute, but kind of clueless." She replied.
"Yeah, I'm just glad we got things back to normal, can't have Dragons coming here whenever they please." Replies Bojack.
Tio nods in agreement. "Hai, Bojack-san." She added with a smile.
Bojack suddenly looked up. "Oh yes, it looks as if the closing statement is being done live." He remarked as he saw a sign next to them that read "The End". Bojack stands up. "I'd like to thank you all for reading this chapter, and I hoped you all enjoyed it. Please send me reviews and feedback to let me know that you liked this. Anyway, I'm Bojack and-"
"And I'm Tio!" Inserted the Fairy lady (Author).
"Right, and this is Tio." Bojack added.
And we'd both just like to say goodbye!" They both called out in unison while pulling out those little fans that look like Japanese Flags that are sometimes scene in Anime when characters are cheering on someone.
Bojack: That was the last scene of episode five, and on this note, I will say goodbye to all of you readers, and thanks to my two colleagues here who took the time to help me out with this.
Tio: No problem.
Zinic: Always a pleasure.
Bojack: Next time, we'll be covering chapters 6-12. Until then...
All three: See you later.
End of Chapter 18

I guess I was feeling in a romantic mood at the time. The hinting at Momo's maternal instinct never lead to anything... and I'm sure now if it will play into the story again.
Tio: I thought it was cute.
Meanwhile, back in Windia, a certain princess was completely in the dark about as to what was happening with her two friends. namely, a certain tiger-striped man and a certain bunny-eared woman.
She looked up her favorite blue haired dragon appeared in front of her. "Ryu, what do you think happened to those two?" She asked him.
Ryu shrugged. "Why not contact the Tower; they might know something about their location there." Ryu suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Nina exclaimed, getting up and running off to get the two-way radio she had in her room.
Dark Knight Raven looked down at the spot where the Mimerlia Bushes had been. "They're gone." He said to something that couldn't be seen.
"Find them, Raven, find them! The Mimerlia plants can't fall into the wrong hands."
"I know, Master Lore." Raven replied.
Bojack: Those two scenes were to set the stage for the next chapter and for the future of the whole story. Chapter three was really generating a lot of feedback and it would lead to my first contact with Ryu-sama, who would later become an advisor of sorts to me on another story I was working on.
Tio: They were eating it up!
Zinic: The extra charaters also complicates the whole thing as well. On to chapter four.
Bojack: There isn't much to this chapter, it was mostly done as a way to get Ryu and Nina into the loop of the story and involve them more. Also, Ryu's speech scene worked pretty well.
Zinic: In a nutshell, we have a story about sex and drugs.
Bojack: So far, yes. But there is more to it. I'm pretty happy with Momo's remark about the situational anime physics.
A strange man with pale blond hair stopped in front of the door to the tower. He looked down at the map he was holding. "Hmm, this looks like the right spot." He said as he looked back up at the door. He then noticed a speaker next to the door with an inscription underneath it that read: "Press button and wait for response, please speak clearly into the speaker."
Zinic: Hark, the introduction of the first original character!
Bojack: I wanted to expand the cast for many reasons, one was to help enhance the dialogues in the story. I also needed another intellect around so that Momo wouldn't be left with all of the technical info and end up sounding like a mouth piece for the info that I couldn't fit into the story in a normal way...
...Though, I soon found that I liked him a lot more then I expected and began expanding his character as well, as all of the readers will see later on.
Zinic: Coming up next is one of the most defining moments for the story.
Tio: I hope this is my big scene.
Bojack: It is. And I would like to state that this scene grew out of a need to make it very clear that this story was completely random, and for the most part- had no socially redeeming qualities.
Ryu looked around, he suddenly realized that he was floating through a great multi-colored void filled with random things. like original scripts from Breath of Fire 3, the version were Ryu talks. The Dragon reached up and grabbed one of the loose-leaf scripts and skimmed through it. "Hmm, wow, I have some good lines. why'd they cut them.?" He wondered out loud.
"Shame on you!" Said a loud feminine voice. Ryu jumped suddenly to see a strange girl in front of him. It was a short, thin girl with long blond hair- with pink highlights. She was wearing a long, sparkling dress over her slender body and butterfly-like wings swayed behind her.
Bojack: Wait for it...
"Who the hell are you?" Ryu asked in confusion.
The Girl smiled and the air around seemed to sparkle when she did. Ryu started to relax, until, she pulled out a gigantic hammer and hit him with it.
"Ow! What was that for?!" He exclaimed.
The girl struck a pose. "Sill Baka-head, my name is Tio Rank P and I'm your fairy guide for this little drug-induced freak out." She replied happily as little stars twinkled behind like in all those anime scenes.
"But. I'm not freaking out." Ryu replied hesitantly.
"You will by, silly." She said as she raised her hammer.
"Oh no!" Ryu yelled as the girl swung herself around and put all of her body weight into hitting him and sending him propelling across the void.
Tio: Yay!
Bojack: I was so impressed with Tio's story "Untouchable", that I felt that she needed to be honored in some way, so I went out on a limb and asked her if she'd like to play a part in my story.
Tio: And I said yes.
Bojack: After she sent me a basic description of herself as she wanted to be portrayed, I took it from there. At first I wasn't sure as to what she would be- but I knew I wanted to have her featured in the hallucination scene. Then, an idea hit me like a ton of bricks!
Zinic: The Baka Fairy!
Bojack: Exactly, I was a huge fan of Poe's web comic "Exploitation Now" and I there was a character in it called the Baka Fairy. She would come in and look all sweet and harmless, but it would turn out that she had a giant hammer that she used to punish people for having dirty thoughts or doing perverse things.
Zinic: Echi!
Bojack: Her personality was perfect to relate to Tio, in the sense that she had a seemingly unlimited level of exuberance and enthusiasm. She also spoke what I like to call Otaku Japanese- the basic words that those fans at the conventions can say.
Zinic: "Kawaii", "Nani", "Hai", etcetera.
Bojack: Exactly. Tio became the "Tio Fairy", who's mission was to "guide" Ryu through his drugged out quest. But I felt it would be funnier if she was also the source of his torment as well.
Tio: I was more then happy to be in the fic, and I love being able to tease little Ryu-chan like that. I was just a bit surprised at the way you had me acting so anime-ish.
Bojack: The Fairy and this whole sequence would be full of anime clichés and traditional imagery, as well as a few unexpected quests and scenes.
Tio: Explain the scene with "Musashi" in it.
Bojack: That was a way of making a reference to a game that I could never decide if I liked or hated it. The game- in the long run- was a waste of my time. And, I think that it was expected to do MUCH better then it actually did.
Zinic: Squaresoft had started to think that it was infallible.
It was a tall man with blue skin and pointed ears. Long brown hear hung down his back and a red bandana was on his head. He was wearing a white button-up shirt and blue jeans and a pair of cowboy boots. A saber hung from his belt.
"Oh no, not another nutcase?" Ryu exclaimed in fear.
The man smiled. "That's right, you hopped up freak, I'm the author of this story, Bojack, and I'm here to send you on your way." He announced to the blue haired young man as he pulled out a giant club from seemingly nowhere.
"Huh?" Ryu asked.
"That's right, the Magical Mystery Tour. I'm sending you back home on a one- way ticket out freakville, you damned dirty hippy!" He yelled raising his club. "It's time for a momentary lapse of reason, buddy!" Bojack yelled.
And with that, Bojack sent Ryu screaming off into the sunset.
Bojack: I believe that this is pretty self explanatory.
Back in Wonderland.
Bojack and Tio are sitting in the field drinking tea.
"What did you think of that guy?" Asked Bojack as he took a sip of tea.
Tio looked up at him. "Ryu-chan was okay, cute, but kind of clueless." She replied.
"Yeah, I'm just glad we got things back to normal, can't have Dragons coming here whenever they please." Replies Bojack.
Tio nods in agreement. "Hai, Bojack-san." She added with a smile.
Bojack suddenly looked up. "Oh yes, it looks as if the closing statement is being done live." He remarked as he saw a sign next to them that read "The End". Bojack stands up. "I'd like to thank you all for reading this chapter, and I hoped you all enjoyed it. Please send me reviews and feedback to let me know that you liked this. Anyway, I'm Bojack and-"
"And I'm Tio!" Inserted the Fairy lady (Author).
"Right, and this is Tio." Bojack added.
And we'd both just like to say goodbye!" They both called out in unison while pulling out those little fans that look like Japanese Flags that are sometimes scene in Anime when characters are cheering on someone.
Bojack: That was the last scene of episode five, and on this note, I will say goodbye to all of you readers, and thanks to my two colleagues here who took the time to help me out with this.
Tio: No problem.
Zinic: Always a pleasure.
Bojack: Next time, we'll be covering chapters 6-12. Until then...
All three: See you later.
End of Chapter 18
