I don't own Mystic Knights or Naruto.

Team Assignments
When Naruto got home he went strait to bed. Not bothering to get changed because he was so tired.
He woke up when he felt something sharp poking his face. As he opened his eyes he saw Scorch staring at him.
"It's 6:00 a.m. Naruto. You need to get ready, you've got team placements today" he said still poking him with a claw.
Naruto groaned "All right, just stop poking me." He then got up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. As he was taking the shower he had an idea "I just realized I don't know how I'm going to recognize the other Knights, even if they are standing right in front of me. I'm going to have to talk with Rohan before we leave for the Academy."
After he was done with his shower he got changed, then went to his kitchen to get some breakfast. When he got there he saw Scorch going through his fridge throwing things out.
"What are you doing Scorch?" he asked a bit annoyed.
Scorch turned to look at him "I was checking to see what you had to eat for breakfast and I noticed your milk had went bad. So I decided to find any other spoiled food in here and throw it out. Unfortunately that was everything in your fridge" he told him with a frown.
"I guess we'll just have to have ramen for breakfast then" he said with a shrug as he went to his cupboard.
He pulled out four cups of instant ramen and boiled the water for them. After the water was hot enough he poured it into all four of the cups. He then took all four of them and put them on his kitchen table, setting one in front of Scorch and the other three in front of himself.
Scorch hesitantly took a bite of it, unsure if it was any good. After his first bite he then stuck his head into the cup and started to devour it greedily.
When Naruto noticed this he was a little startled. "Umm...I guess you like ramen, huh?" he said with a chuckle.
Scorch took his head out of the cup and slurped up a noodle that was hanging from his mouth "This stuff is great! I could eat it for the rest of my life!" He then shoved his head back into the cup to finish eating.
Naruto chuckled before he went back to his own breakfast. When he was done he went to his bedroom and grabbed his sword. He brought it back to the kitchen and laid it down on the table.
He then looked at Scorch "I'm going to have a quick talk with Rohan before we head to the Academy. Do you want to join me?"
The little dragon shrugged before he walked over to the sword, rested his head on its blade, and closed his eyes.
When they both opened their eyes they saw Rohan napping in a recliner, which made them both get a sweat drop.
Naruto stepped forward and cleared his throat as Scorch crawled up his body to rest on his shoulder "Rohan?"
When he noticed Rohan didn't stir he sighed before taking a deep breath "ROHAN!"
Rohan shot up out of the chair with a slightly startled expression on his face. After a few seconds he calmed down and stared at him "Naruto, what are you doing back here so soon?"
"There was something I wanted to ask you before I headed to the Academy" he told him.
Rohan raised an eyebrow "What is it you wanted to know?"
"How am I suppose to know if someone I meet is one of the new Mystic Knights?" he asked with a sigh.
"That is a good question. You would be able to tell after about a month's training. Though I think it might be a good idea to find them as soon as possible" Rohan said as he held his chin. Then his eyes noticed Scorch on Naruto's shoulder "I see you have brought your dragon companion. That might actually solve our little dilemma" he said as he walked over to them and put his hand on Scorch's head.
After about five minutes he took his hand away as Scorch started to blink and shake his head for a few seconds.
"What did you do to Scorch?" Naruto asked him with concern.
"Scorch, huh? Nice name for a Fire Dragon. Now what I did was give him the ability to sense the other successor's if they're close by" he told him with a smile.
Naruto looked at him wide-eyed "Really! That's so cool."
"It is cool and with training you'll be able to do the same thing. There is one thing I want to tell you before you two go. When you leave channel chakra into both your sword and your back. That way you can carry the sword on your back and not have to keep it in your hands all the time. Now, I think it's time for you and Scorch to get to the Academy" Rohan told him just before they left Naruto's mindscape.
When they got back to the real world Naruto picked up his sword and did what Rohan told him, sticking it to his back with a large amount of chakra. While he did this Scorch climbed up his arm to his shoulder. Naruto then walked out his front door and locked it before heading to the Academy.
When Naruto entered the classroom a few of the other Genins stared at him.
A boy with two red marks on his cheeks and a small white dog on his head smirked when he saw him "What are you doing here Naruto? Only those who passed the exam should be here."
Naruto pointed to the hatai-ite on his forehead "This hatai-ite that I'm wearing means I passed and before you say that I stole it, you should know that the Hokage gave it to me."
When the other Genins heard this they all stared at him.
Just then Scorch raised his head slightly and whispered in his ear "I sense that two of the other successor's are here."
"Really, which two are they?" he asked him in a whisper.
"The girl with the white eyes and the boy eating chips" he replied still whispering.
"Hinata Hyuga and Choji Akimichi" he thought in shock before he gave a nod to Scorch and looked at the two he had sensed "Umm...Hinata and Choji could you two come with me for a moment?"
When Hinata heard her crush saying that he wanted to talk to her, her entire face turned bright red from the blush. Her mind temporarily shut down as her body went on autopilot, getting up and walking towards him.
Choji shrugged before getting up and walking towards him, while still eating his chips.
Naruto then started to led them from the classroom when two girls came in through the doorway arguing with each other. They stopped when they saw Naruto, Hinata, and Choji walking towards them and the exit of the classroom.
The first one had long pink hair, green eyes, and was wearing a red Chinese dress. She glared at Naruto and the other two "What are you doing here Naruto and why are Hinata and Choji following you?"
Naruto sighed "As I already told Kiba. The Hokage made me a Genin last night. Choji and Hinata are following me because there is something that I need to discuss with them."
The second girl, who had long blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a purple dress, just looked from at the three of them "Why would you need to talk with them. You three have never talked to each other at all during school. So why now?"
"Ino, the reason I need to talk to them is something private. It is no one else's concern but ours" Naruto told her crossing his arms.
Both girls were about to say something when they saw that years King of the Emo's looking in their direction. They both got hearts in their eyes and shouted "SASUKE-KUN!" as they ran towards him.
Naruto watched as they ran over to Sasuke before he turned back around and led a still blushing Hinata and a chip eating Choji out of the classroom. He led them down the hall until he came to an empty classroom. He opened the door letting them go in first before he walked in and shut the door.
"So, Naruto, what is it you wanted to talk to us about?" Choji asked as he put his chips away.
"I'll explain everything to you, but first I want both of you to chose one of these scrolls and do what it says" Naruto said as he smiled and walked over to the teachers desk pulling the four scrolls out of his pocket and placing them on the desk.
Hinata's mind at that moment started to work again. "I can't believe Naruto-kun's giving me something" she thought while still sporting a blush across her face. She started to reach for the scroll marked 'Water' when her hand moved and grabbed the one marked 'Air'.
Choji shrugged and grabbed the scroll marked 'Earth'.
As they both opened their scrolls Naruto picked up the other two and put them back into his pocket.
After about a minute both of their eyes widened. Then they both channeled chakra into the scrolls. The scrolls then disappeared leaving a strange bow and white egg with blue swirls in front of Hinata, while a weird hammer and dull gray egg appeared in front of Choji.
The bow looked like it was formed out of two white-feathered wings with a golden dragons head connecting them and a string stretched from wing tip to wing tip.
The hammer was a steel gray war hammer that had a few unusual golden designs on the hammers head.
"Umm...Naruto-kun, what do we do now?" Hinata asked him confused.
"Just touch the weapons in front of you and everything will be explained" he told them with a smile.
Both of them did what he told them and placed a hand on the weapon in front of them. Their eyes glossed over as it looked like they went into a trance.
Naruto tilted his head to one side and scratched his cheek "So that's what it looks like when I do that."
Choji opened his eyes and saw that he was inside his families restaurant. He looked around and saw that there was no one there.
"How did I get here and where is everyone?" he thought as he walked towards the kitchen. Before he entered he yelled "Mom, dad are you in there?"
When he walked through the kitchen door he saw that there was no one in there. He then turned and walked back into the main part of the restaurant. When he got there he saw a man in silver armor.
Choji took a defensive stance "Who are you and where is everyone?"
The man put his hands up "My name is Angus and the only ones here are the two of us."
"What are you talking about? There's over a thousand people in this village. There's no way they could all disappear" Choji replied confused.
"Well actually that's where you're wrong. The only ones who have ever been here are us" Angus said as he reached up and pulled his helmet off. He had brown eyes and shoulder length wild black hair.
"What do you mean we're the only ones?" Choji asked him with worry.
Angus scratched his cheek while smiling at him "I don't really know how to explain this, but we're currently inside your mind. That's why there's no one else here but us."
Choji looked at him shocked before he asked "If this is my mind then how are you here?"
"Do you remember the scroll you read and the weapon you touched?" Angus asked him.
Choji nodded "Yeah, Naruto had me touch that weird hammer before I woke up here. But, what does that have to do with you?"
"When you touched the hammer, as you called it, you accepted the path of a Mystic Knight. So, since you're the new Mystic Knight of Earth, Kami knew that you would need someone to teach you how to use the powers given to you as a Mystic Knight. The one Kami chose was me, Angus the first Mystic Knight of Earth" he said pointing to himself.
Choji looked at him wide-eyed "Wait, does that mean you're dead?"
Angus frowned "Yeah, have been for a few thousand years. Now, before we get side tracked could you tell me your name. It would be nice to know who my successor is."
"It's Choji Akimichi, heir of the Akimichi Clan" he told him with a quick bow.
"Well Choji before I explain much more to you I want you to see what me and the other Mystic Knights went through" Angus said as he pointed to a wall of the restaurant.
Angus's memories of his time with the Mystic Knights played out on the wall.
By the time Angus's memories finished Choji was sitting in a chair with a look of awe on his face. He looked at Angus "So, what does this have to do with me, Naruto, and Hinata?"
Angus took a seat across from Choji and sighed "That evil sorceress had three sons. The yellow giant that me and my friends defeated was her eldest son. Her other two sons she hid and put them into a magical slumber, that allowed them to sleep for centuries without aging. We knew that the only ones able to defeat them when they woke up would be the Mystic Knights. So we set into motion a plan that would allow the return of the Knights when one or both of those beings awoke. That's were you and the others come into play, you're our successors. When one of our successors opens their designated scroll, it gives them their weapon, a dragon's egg , and summons the first Mystic Knight of that element from heaven to reside in their minds."
"Wait, that dull gray egg was a dragon's egg?" Choji asked in surprise.
Angus nodded "Yeah, when you leave here put your hands on the egg and channel chakra into it to have it hatch. Now there is a couple of more things before you leave. First, I'll be with you until I think you've mastered the powers needed to be a Mystic Knight. Second, for you to come back here you'll have to hold your weapon and think my name." Angus then smiled at him "I think it's time you headed back to the real world" he said as he reached up and flicked Choji in the forehead making him black out.
Hinata awoke in a huge field of flowers. She looked all around and saw flowers in all directions as far as the eye could see.
"W-Where a-am I-I?" she asked out loud in confusion.
"You are in your mind, dear child" she heard a woman's voice behind her.
She whipped around and saw a woman with flowing waist length hair, wearing a light blue gown with white frills along the edge.
"W-Who a-are y-you?" Hinata asked while getting into a Jyuken Stance.
"My name is Queen Deirdre, the First Mystic Knight of Air. May I ask your name" the woman told her with a gentle smile.
Hinata quickly relaxed and bowed to her "M-My n-name is H-Hinata H-Hyuga."
Deirdre smiled "It's nice to meet you Hinata. I'm guessing you want to know what I meant earlier when I said this is your mind."
Hinata nodded.
"When you touched the weapon that was released from the scroll it brought you into your mind. That way you and I could meet, so that I could explain things to you" she told her as she kneeled on the ground.
Hinata kneeled down on the ground a few feet from her.
"First I'm going to show you why the Mystic Knights were given their powers in the first place through my memories" Deirdre said as she pointed to a screen floating in the air off to her left.
Hinata watched the screen as it showed the Knights getting their weapons and powers. Also all of the battles they had against an evil sorceress and her army. The last memories showed when the Knights finally beat the evil sorceress and Deirdre's marriage to Rohan.
When the images stopped Deirdre looked at Hinata and saw that she had a slight blush on her face, along with a look of awe.
"Hinata, may I ask why you're blushing?" Deirdre asked with a small smile.
"U-Umm...y-you're l-last m-memory w-was a l-lovely o-one. I-I h-hope to o-one d-day g-get m-married m-myself, t-though N-Naruto-kun h-hasn't e-even n-noticed m-me" she said with a frown.
"Who's Naruto?" Deirdre asked her.
She blushed "H-He's t-the o-one w-who g-gave m-me a-and C-Choji t-the s-scrolls."
Deirdre smiled "He must be one of the successors like you and probably Choji. Did he have a weapon?"
Hinata closed her eyes for a second before she opened them and nodded "Y-Yes, h-he h-had a s-sword o-on h-his b-back."
Deirdre's smile grew bigger "I don't think you have anything to worry about when it comes to trying to have a relationship with him."
Hinata looked at her confused "W-What d-do y-you m-mean D-Deirdre-sama?"
"The one who used a sword among the First Mystic Knights was my husband, the First Mystic Knight of Fire, King Rohan" she told Hinata still smiling.
Hinata's eyes were wide, while her entire face was red from an instant blush "Y-You m-mean ..."
Deirdre nodded before she continued "Yes, I think he will begin to notice you and hopefully that part of history will repeat itself. Now back to the reason we're here. The evil sorceress we fought had three sons. The first of which was the yellow giant, which we defeated. She hid her other two sons and put them into a magical sleep for the time when they could spread her evil again. We didn't know how long it would be before they awoke, so we made the scrolls that would appear when her sons would awake. We put our weapons and a dragon egg into each scroll, which could only be opened by our successor's. When you opened the scroll the weapon and dragon egg were given to you, while Kami sent me down from heaven to help you learn to use your new abilities as a Mystic Knight."
"S-So d-does t-that m-mean I-I'm g-going to h-have to f-fight a-against p-people a-as s-strong a-as t-that e-evil s-sorceress?" Hinata asked her with a lot of fear in her voice.
"I'm afraid so Hinata, but you won't be doing it alone. You'll have the other Mystic Knight successor's with you. Plus I'll be here to help you with both your training as a Mystic Knight and trying to win Naruto's Heart" Deridre told her reassuringly.
"W-Why w-would y-you h-help m-me w-with N-Naruto-kun?" she asked slightly confused.
"Because your mother made me promise to help you however I could before I left heaven" she told her.
"You've talked to my mother?" Hinata asked her without a stutter do to her surprise.
Deirdre nodded "Yes and she's very proud of the person you've grown into." "Though she had some very unladylike word's for Hiashi" Deirdre thought.
Hinata had a very big smile on her face "I-Is t-there a-any w-way I-I c-could t-talk t-to m-my m-mother?"
Deirdre shook her head "No. You won't be able to see her until the day you join her in heaven. But if you do want to talk, you can always talk to me. All you have to do is hold your weapon and think my name. You'll also have your dragon friend to talk to after you help it hatch by channeling chakra into its egg."
"T-Thank y-you D-Deirdre-sama" she said with a small frown.
"Well, I think it's time for you to head back to the real world" she told Hinata before a wind blew a wall of flower petals between them making her black out.
Naruto watched as their eyes began to focus. When they blinked their eyes and looked at him, he smiled "So, do you two understand what's going on now?"
They both nodded with smile's on their faces, while Hinata also had a slight blush. Then they both put their hands on the egg's next to their weapons and started channeling chakra into them. After about five minutes both eggs hatched revealing dragons similar to Scorch, except for the color of their scales and eyes. Choji's was tan in color with gray eyes, while Hinata's was a pearly white with eyes as blue as the sky.
The one in front of Hinata bowed its head "It's nice to meet you my lady. What do you wish to call me?" it asked with a femine voice.
"I-I t-think I-I'll c-call y-you L-Lumia" Hinata said as she reached out to scratch Lumia's head.
The one in front of Choji looked at him "What's my name going to be?" it asked in a deep gravely male voice.
Choji pulled out his bag of chips, took one out, and offered it to the dragon "How about Clay?"
Clay ate the chip before he answered "I like it. I also like that food you just gave me?"
Choji smiled at Clay before he and Hinata both looked at Naruto.
"N-Naruto-kun, w-where's y-your d-dragon?" Hinata asked curiously.
Naruto pointed to his shoulder where Scorch inched forward while lifting his head "He's right here and his name is Scorch."
"Hey Naruto, I know I'm the Knight of Earth and Hinata's the Knight of Air, but what Knight are you?" Choji asked while eating his chips and giving some to Clay.
Naruto smiled and scratched his cheek "I'm the Mystic Knight of Fire, along with supposedly being the leader of the Knights."
Choji began to laugh, which made Hinata confused and Naruto a little annoyed.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked him with a lot of anger in his voice.
"Sorry Naruto. It's just the idea of you being our leader made me fear for our enemies" Choji told him with a smile.
Naruto looked at him confused "What do you mean?"
"I-I t-think C-Choji is r-referring t-to y-your a-ability t-to b-be u-unpredictable" Hinata said with a smile.
He looked at her "Oh, I didn't think about that. We should be heading back to the classroom. But before we go I need to tell you something. You can't tell anyone about being a Mystic Knight, the Hokage made it a S-Class secret."
They both looked a little concerned before they nodded.
Naruto then smiled before leading them out of the empty classroom. Hinata put the bow over her left shoulder and let Lumia climb up to rest on her right shoulder, while Choji let Clay climb up to rest on his left shoulder and held his hammer with his right hand resting it on his that same shoulder. They then both followed after him.
When they walked back into the classroom the other Genin's stared at them. Which actually made all three of them slightly uncomfortable.
The one that stared at them the most intently was Sasuke who was thinking "I think I've seen that sword the dobe has before." "Hey dobe, what's up with those weapons?" he asked Naruto.
"They're gifts that will allow us to carry on an ancient legacy, teme" Naruto told him with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Why would anyone think you three could carry on any legacy?" the pink-haired kunoichi, whose name was Sakura, said with a laugh.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at her "For your information Sakura, we showed that we were worthy of it."
"There's no way you three could be worthy of anything. I mean the dead last of the Academy, a boy who eats more than trains, and a girl who's probably weaker than a wet piece of paper. You three are worthless. Why don't you give me the sword, along with that hammer and bow so I can find them better users" Sasuke said getting up and moving over to them.
All three of them instinctively grab their weapons tightly and took a step back from him.
"These weapons were given to us and we won't be giving them to ANYONE" Naruto said as he stared Sasuke down.
"Just give Sasuke-kun the weapons you three!" Sakura yelled as she walked up next to Sasuke.
"Is she always this loud" Scorch said as he appeared on top of Naruto's head.
Sakura and the rest of the girls, except Hinata, screamed when they saw Scorch appear and talk. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, while most of the other boys looked at him wide-eyed.
"Naruto, you have a talking snake on your head!" Sakura said continuing to yell.
Scorch cringed slightly before he replied angrily "I'm not a snake! I'M A DRAGON!"
"Scorch-san you know we're were trying to keep our existence secret" Lumia said as she poked her head out from above Hinata's right shoulder.
"Yeah, besides all this yelling is making me lose my appetite" Clay said as he appeared on Choji's left shoulder.
The entire classroom of Genin's stared at the three creatures that appeared.
Sasuke then looked directly at Scorch "Give me that sword you gave him. I'm more worthy of it than he'll ever be" Sasuke demanded.
Scorch tilted his head slightly before he started to laugh "More arrogant if you ask me."
"Why you little jerk! Don't laugh at Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled as she raised up her fist and went to punch Scorch.
Just before Sakura's fist would've hit him, he opened his mouth and let out a spark of fire. The spark hit Sakura's fist burning it slightly. Making her pull it back and hold it against her chest.
Naruto reached up and took Scorch off his head before he looked him in the face "I know Sakura's annoying, but did you have to burn her?"
Scorch blinked before he answered "Sorry, I just sort of reacted."
Before anything else could be said a bandaged Iruka Umino walked into the room. He looked around the room, eyes slightly widening when he saw both Choji and Hinata's weapons and dragons, before he smiled "All right everyone take a seat and quiet down."
Sakura walked up to him and showed him her hand "Iruka-sensei, Naruto's creature burned my hand."
Iruka looked at it before he sighed and put a green glowing hand over top of it, healing her hand. "Now take a seat Sakura. I need to give out the team assignments" he told her pointing at the seats behind her.
She was about to say something more when Iruka glared at her.
Iruka then cleared his throat "Now, I said it once already I need everyone to take a seat!"
After that Sasuke took his usual seat up front next to the window with Sakura sitting next to him. Choji sat down next to his friend Shikamaru, while Naruto followed Hinata to the back of the classroom and a couple of empty seats.
Iruka then stood in front of the class and started to say the team placements (A/N: teams one to six are unimportant) "Team Seven: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki."
The thoughts going through their minds were all completely different. Sakura was over joyed to be on Sasuke's team, while Sasuke just wanted to get a hold of Naruto's sword to have as his own, and Naruto was really angry that he was on Sasuke's team.
"Team Eight: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga" Iruka continued.
Kiba was happy that he got put on Hinata's team, Hinata was really disappointed that she wasn't on Naruto's team, and Shino just thought that his teammates might be interesting.
"Team Nine is still active, Team Ten: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi are the last team for this year's graduation" Iruka said as he finished going through the team placements.
Shikamaru thought that it was going to be troublesome to be on Ino's team, Ino was mad that she wasn't on Sasuke's team, and Choji was hoping that he could at least team up with Naruto and Hinata's team due to their new connection.
Iruka then smiled "Choji, Hinata, and Naruto the Hokage will want to see you after you've meet with your Jonin-sensei after lunch."
The three of them agreed before Iruka left the classroom.
After lunch it only took a hour before the teams Jonin-sensei's showed up to collect them. The only team that still was waiting for their Jonin-sensei was Team Seven.
Both Hinata and Choji said bye to Naruto and wished him good luck as they left with their teams.
About two hours after the last team left saw Team Seven still waiting for their Jonin-sensei.
Sasuke was in the front row staring out the window. Sakura was sitting next to him with heart's in her eyes and thinking of ways to get him to like her. Naruto was sitting in the back row with Scorch talking quietly with each other.
At that moment the door to the classroom opened and a man walked in that had gravity deifying hair, a mask over his lower half of his face, and his hatai-ite covering his left eye. He looked at them with a sigh "Meet me on the roof" before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
It took them about ten minutes to get to the roof. Where they found their sensei leaning against the railing in front of a very long bench. The three of them took a seat on the bench with Sasuke and Sakura sitting at one end of the bench, while Naruto sat at the other end.
Their sensei looked at them with his one eye "Well, let's get to know each other. I'll go first, my name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes, dislikes, and hobbies are none of your business. I've never thought about my dreams. Your up next pinkie" he said looking at Sakura.
"My name is Sakura Haruno, my likes..." she glanced at Sasuke. "My dislikes..." she glanced at Naruto. "My hobbies..." she glanced again at Sasuke. "My dreams..." she continued looking at Sasuke with hearts in her eyes.
"Great a fan-girl" Kakashi thought. "You're next oh depressed one" he said looking at Sasuke.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I have few things I like and many more I dislike, I have no hobbies, and my ambition is to kill a certain man then restore my clan" he said with a lot of venom in his voice.
"An Avenger. That's as bad as the fan-girl" Kakashi mentally sighed. "That just leave's you in the orange" he said looking at Naruto.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like my friends, ramen, pranks, and when people are on time. I dislike people who think everything belongs to them, those who are late for meeting, and the colors pink and black. My hobbies are gardening and pranks. My dream is to become Hokage and rid the world of anything that's pure evil" he said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Sounds like he doesn't like the rest of us at all" Kakashi thought with a mental frown. "Now that that's out of the way meet at Training Ground Seven tomorrow at eight. Oh and skip breakfast, you'll probably just throw it up" he said before leaving in a puff of smoke.
Naruto immediately got up and started to run down the stairs to the first floor, then out of the Academy heading for the Hokage's Tower. "I hope Choji and Hinata aren't mad about me being late. Stupid Kakashi-sensei" he thought as he ran.
A/N: Right off I'd like to let you know that yes I did change the looks of the weapons for the Mystic Knights of Earth and Air. In the original show they were a rock at the end of a chain for the Mystic Knight of Earth and a crossbow for the Mystic Knight of Air. The reason I changed them was to fit better into the Naruto Universe, besides I think that a war hammer is better than a ball and chain any day of the week.
On a side note, I've put two challenges on my Profile for anyone to take.
The only other thing I would like to say is please review.
