Chapter 56: Headin' South!

The sound of birds chirping outside of the open bedroom window, caused the figure in the bed to sigh. Sleepy gray eyes opened to stare at the ceiling for a moment before realizing that she was alone in the bed. The ninja pushed herself up and looked to her legs, her brows furrowing in confusion a the tangled mess that were her legs and the sheet they had slept beneath.

"How the hell did I manage that?" She asked herself aloud before fighting to free herself from the sheets. After a few minutes of struggling and putting on her brace, Yuffie rolled out of bed and stretched. Yawning loudly she left the bedroom, scratching her lower back as she searched for her Vinnie.

"Vince?" she called out, pausing as she found the kitchen empty. Her eyes were drawn to the letter stuck to the fridge with a magnet, her name scrolled across the paper in thick, yet elegant lines. The ninja plucked the letter from the fridge, leaning against the cool countertop as she read.

Yuffie-

I went out for a while, but I will be back soon to have breakfast with you.

I will see you soon.

-Vincent

"Hmmwhat to do till Vinnie returns?" She asked herself before grinning and dashing off to the bedroom to dress. Slipping on a pair of shorts and a tank top and a pair of socks, she grabbed her sneakers. One quick trip to grab her weapon, she bounded out of the back door and onto the beach just outside of their back patio.

Twisting her foot in the sand, she closed her eyes. It had been a while since she had a chance to do her katas and she was looking forward to stretching the sore muscles she was still feeling after yesterday's epic game of capture the flag. Her shuriken was spun with undeniable expertise as she began the deadly dance. Her weapon became an extension of her body and soon, Yuffie lost herself in the precise movements of her katas.

.:-o-:.

Vincent pushed open the door to their bungalow and kicked off his shoes. His gun swung at his hip as he started for the hallway leading to their bedroom, listening for any indication that his little ninja was awake. He peeked into the open bedroom door only to find their bed vacant. Putting his gun away, he ventured into the kitchen and saw that the note he left her was missing. It wasn't until he moved to the sink, that he saw the oh-so-familiar graceful movements that belonged to only one person.

With a small smile, he quietly made his way out of the back door and sat a short and safe distance away to watch her practice. Her breaths were rapid yet even and a fine sheen of sweat had formed on her tawny skin. His crimson gaze moved to her feet, there was no doubt in his mind that the sand was adding an added measure of difficulties to her katas, but despite this, her movements remained unhindered. It was then that he notice that her movements were much faster than what he had seen on the deck of the Highwind and from the footprints in the sand, she kept her movements in a circle approximately six feet in diameter.

Yuffie increase the speed of her movements; the feigned blows would be devastating if she had actually been going against an opponent. She kept her steps precise and ended in a crouch, swiping outward in a move that would have severed the muscles, tendons and ligaments of an opponents legs. Breathing hard, her eyes snapped open when she heard applause coming from her right.

"Deadly yet beautiful. Your precision never ceases to impress me, Yuffie." He complimented her as she bounced over to him, placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Thanks!" She plopped down on the sand beside him, trying to slow her breathing. "I thought I'd get some training in. I have been slacking a bitthough I don't think I'll do anything that intense again while we're here."

"Understandable." The gunman nodded in understanding.

"So, where'd ya go?" she pushed a damp lock away from her face.

"I felt a need to 'stretch my legs' as you often say. Like you, I decided I needed to hone my skills."

"Ahhh, target practice?" She watched as he nodded and smiled.

"Do you know what you would like for breakfast?"

Yuffie bit her lip and shrugged. "Actually, I'm not really hungry. Do you feel up to a swim and maybe an early lunch instead?"

She watched as her gunman nodded and hopped to her feet, offering a hand to him. She grinned when he grasped it and with a grunt, she pulled him to his feet. Yuffie moved through the house and fished out the once piece suit she had worn in the hot tub, her cheeks heating at the memories that flashed through her mind.

'Bad Yuffie!' She scolded herself while rinsing the chlorine smell away and rang the excess water out. It was slipped on along with the shorts she already had been wearing. She looked at herself in the large mirror that ran the length of the bathroom counter top and adjusted the shoulder straps. She knew that she needed to do more shopping but had been holding off. Tifa would be dragging her shopping, this she knew and she had no clue where she would be taken once Shera, Elmyra and little Marlene arrived. Elena was coming with Reeve and her fellow Turks; Yuffie couldn't help but to wonder if the blonde woman was a shopaholic too. She hoped not.

.:-o-:.

The pair enjoyed their time in the warm Costa waters. While swimming in the deeper waters, and after the accidental loss and retrieval of Yuffie's Minerva band, the ninja had seen more shells that she wanted. It was a little deeper down than she thought and after a few failed retrievals, the ninja quickly turned the shell hunt into a game of who could gather the most or even who could hold their breath the longest. Much to the ninja's chagrin, her companion won more time's than not and only received a smirk followed up quickly by a chuckle when she claimed he had an unfair advantage thanks to Chaos. That chuckle grew to soft laughter when she grumbled, swearing that she would swipe the underwater materia and then they'd see who'd win.

They exited the surf, grabbing her discarded shorts as they approached their abode, Vincent swept the ninja's petite form into arms, enjoying the feel of her head coming to rest against his shoulder. Their time of being truly alone would be coming to an end. In a way, the crimson-eyed man found himself to be slightly saddened by the coming change; he had enjoyed their time alone immensely, but he knew that she would still be at his side as he would be by hers. With the arrival of their companions, there was also a positive. Since she was bound to spend more time with the females of their group, it would give him some free time to take care of some business that he had been neglecting.

Shaking himself from his thoughts as they crossed the gate back into their yard, the gunman carefully placed her on her feet the ground. The two washed up in their outdoor shower, drying off as they entered the bungalow. Yuffie immediately moved to the thermostat and turned the air conditioner then rejoined the ebon haired man in making a quick lunch of Sandwiches, chips, grapes and a couple sodas at the table.

Popping a grape, Yuffie looked to the man across from her, her head tilted in thought. A soft sound caused Vincent to look up as her gray eyes moved to his.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing's wrong, but I was just thinkin'. Cloud's birthday is in a few days I have an idea for a gift that we could give, but it'll require a little road trip. It'll take a few hour to get there if we can get a couple gold chocobos." The ninja glanced over to the time display on the oven. "It's half past ten now so we should be back probably around four or so."

"I have no problem with that." He said with a nod, retrieving the cordless phone from its cradle and the small directory. After a moment of searching, he dialed the extension for the stables. Yuffie listened to the conversation as she picked up her sandwich and took a bite. At hearing that there was only one gold remaining for the day, she nodded in agreement with Vincent when he told the employee that it would be sufficient.

.:-o-:.

The two finished their meal and retreated to the bedroom, changing their clothing and donning armor, materia and weapons. Yuffie looked down to the items that she had packed into a rucksack and felt a twinge of excitement flow through her. She had a twinge of hope that they would encounter a few monsters on their journey and though she knew she probably shouldn't have felt this way, she was still itching for some combat and as they slipped from the home, making their way to the stable, she wondered if Vincent felt the same.

Upon reaching the stable, the employee gave a small bow. "Mr. Valentine, Miss Kisaragi, this is Zarek." The large golden chocobo bobbed his head and gave an impressive 'wark' before turning his unusual pale blue eyes to the ninja. "I apologize that we only have one gold mount at the moment."

Yuffie shook her head and approached the massive gold, holding her hand out to him. She smiled when the bird lowered it's head for a scratch and shook her head. "No worries. He'll be fine, isn't that right Z-man?"

Though the gunman's face remained stoic, inwardly he was smiling at the young ninja while the stable hand brought over the necessary greens. His beloved seemed to have a fascination with the large birds and he could easily see her with her own heard of the feathered creatures. She had taken their breeding quite seriously during their journey and they seemed to make her happy.

He wasn't one to deny his love that.

Shaking himself from those thoughts, Vincent took the bag from the young male as they made final preparations for Zarek. Yuffie hopped back over to his side and pulled out her PHS.

Yuffie flashed him a smile as the phone rang for a moment before it was picked up. "Hey Teef?"

"Hiya Yuffs, what's going on?"

"I was just calling to see around when you guys will be arriving. We're about to head out for a while, but I wanna be back in time to see you and Cloudy."

"Well, we haven't left Gold Saucer yet but then we'll be heading to Corel for a while. We wont be arriving to Costa until about six."

"Thats perfect. You'll call me when you guys get here?"

"Of course. We can grab dinner after we get settled."

"Sounds good. See ya later Tifa!"

She hung up the phone after the exchanged goodbyes and packed the phone in her bag. Vincent approached the mount as it crouched, preparing to mount but it was only then that he realized that the chocolate haired teen had yet to tell them exactly where they were going. He turned a curious gaze to her and as if reading the look in his garnet eyes, the ninja grinned.

"We're heading south. I wanna pay a visit to the weapons smith. Tifa told me about some of the things he had created and I want to take a look to see if we can find something unique for Cloud. I would have loved to be able to get him something from Wutai, preferably made by your family," that gained a smile from the gunman, "But I did say that I wouldn't be returning there before I have toI plan on sticking to that."

Vincent nodded in understanding as he climbed into the saddle, feeling warmth flush through him as Yuffie's smaller form became pressed to his back. Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, though she was very careful to keep the access to his weapon clear.

Zarek stood with ease and with a slight tug of the reins, the bird darted to the cove at the southern tip of the resort town. The gold never broke his stride as they took to the ocean, his little female rider giving a whoop was his speed doubled as the breeze whipped the hair of its riders in their wake.

.:-o-:.

Their journey across the ocean seemed to pass faster than it actually took to cross the expansive body of water. In reality, it took their mount nearly an hour it its great speed to do so. The actual distance traveled never ceased to amaze the young ninja. Spending time traveling on airships, crossing hundreds of miles of terrain simply wasn't the same as feeling the land, or in this case, ocean passing beneath the feet of a chocobo.

Once they made landfall, their speed seemed to increase and much to the amusement of the couple, a couple of the monsters that roamed the grassy plains that bordered the ocean and the Corel desert, dared to chase their mount in search of an easy meal. The slower walking chocobo were common in this area, but Zarek paid the beasts no mind as he continued on. Yuffie launched the occasional fire or ice spell with ease, or Vincent took a beast out with a well-placed shot from his death penalty.

Eventually they came to a stop near a small shaded area with a small babbling brook that wound its way through the grasslands on its journey to the ocean. Yuffie removed an insulated plastic container was removed from their pack, along with a couple nectarines, bottles of water and a bag of chips. She sat on the soft green grass and pulled out a small bottle of sanitizer, watching as Vincent pulled a long tether from the gold's saddlebag. He draped it over his shoulder while he removed the saddle, setting it aside. Using the tether, he tied it securely around a tree, hooking it to the bird's reins. Greens were placed on the ground for the bird before the he cam over and sat at her side.

She watched as he took his glove off and took a seat at her side. "Here," Yuffie squirted some of the gel into her hands before tossing it to him. After they settled, they ate their meals, enjoying the serenity that the area brought. Yuffie plucked her nectarine from her lap and bit into the sweet fruit. A commotion to their right, caused both to turn and Yuffie laughed at the sight that greeted them.

Zarek warked happily as he plunged into the cool waters of the brook, flapping his flightless wing as played in the water, eventually immersing himself once more. Before long, the massive bird shook himself free of the water before dipping down to take a deep drink. The couple watched as the tethered bird moved back to the bank and made himself comfortable on the soft bank, giving them both a look before closing his eyes.

Yuffie snorted and shook her head. "It was almost like he said 'you didn't see that' with his eyes." She saw the small smirk that traced her gunman's lips as he gave a single nod in agreement.

The ninja moved to her knees and crawled across the small distance that separated them before settling herself into his lap. His arm instantly wrapped around her, supporting her as his crimson eyes moved to meet gray. With a soft smile tracing her lips, Yuffie moved in close and kissed her gunman deeply, dropping the nectarine pit and moving her newly freed hand to caress his cheek.

Vincent ran his tongue lightly across her lower lip, before deepening the kiss. His heart thudded almost painfully within the confines of his chest as his metal hand gripped her hip lightly as his warm, calloused hand came to rest on the softness of her abdomen. The ebon haired man allowed a moan to escape his lips as she nipped at his bottom lip before she pulled away, breathless.

She smiled when she saw the question in his eyes and reached down, entwining his fingers with her own. "We wont be alone after today" she answered, "Cloud and Tifa todaythen everyone else will be trickling into town for his party."

Vincent placed soft kisses down the side of her neck as he squeezed her hand. Once he reached the pulse point, he allowed the tip of his tongue to brush lightly against that spot, drawing a moan from his little ninja. "We will have adequate time alone, Yuffie, trust me." He smiled against her skin, continuing to kiss down to her collarbone, allowing a deep chuckle to escape his lips when he felt her shiver in his arms.

The ninja kissed his temple when the decidedly masculine laughter rumbled from deep with his chest. "Good." She said softly, coaxing him back up for a kiss, letting her head rest on his shoulder once it ended. "I don't want things to change too much. I'm having fun being with you, Vinnie." She smiled.

After ten more minutes of resting, they began packing up the remnants of their lunch. Zarek gave himself another shake before allowing his riders to mount him and it wasn't long before they had leapt over the brook and were off once more to the south in the direction of their destination.

.:-o-:.

Almost two hours later, the weapon maker's home came into view. They dismounted and secured Zarek in the shade of a tree near the home before making their way to the door. Vincent knocked as Yuffie looked off into the distance. She tilted her head in curiosity, her eyes narrowing.

"That wasn't here last time, was it?" She pointed to the few scattered rooftops in the distance. Vincent turned his claret gaze in the direction where his ninja pointed, and shook his head as the door open.

The weapons seller looked in the direction in which they pointed. "That's Hallibrea Village, named after the bay that the coastline borders." He said, catching their attention.

"Hi Clay," Yuffie smiled in greeting and watched as he nodded, returning the smile. "How long has it been there?"

"About five months. Initially, it started as a distribution point for supplies from the post-war Shinra group in order to help the small villages and townships in the area. Ships would come to the bay and the materials are transported to the shoreline. Eventually, a couple storage buildings popped up, and they began working on the Infrastructure. Now some of the troops have set up homes there and some citizens from Midgar are taking notice of the area. A few of the merchants are starting to set up shop as well."

"I see." Yuffie turned to the older man. "It makes sense that the set up something south of Costa so they don't have to transport all the materials such a great distance by land."

"Makes it more convenient for me either way, Miss Yuffie," He nodded then smiled. She knew better than to try and correct him, he'd call her Miss Yuffie regardless. It was just the way that Clay Oliver was brought up. "Gongaga is still quite a ride away to get supplies and groceries. Come on in, you two."

Vincent led the young ninja into the man's home and followed the man to his display room. He looked around the room, gazing at the impressive array of handmade weapons as the man's voice pulled his attention back to the business at hand.

"Mr. Valentine, Miss Yuffie, what brings you to my neck of the woods?" He asked, leaning casually against a display table.

"Well," Yuffie started, "We're looking for a gift for Cloud. His birthday is coming up and I wanted to see if you had anything that was unique."

The man brought his hand up and tapped his chin, deep in thought before speaking. "I do have a few blades that you can look at. Feel free to look around though while I go get them. They're still in back."

The couple watched as he disappeared and Yuffie slipped over to a wall and admired a few of the throwing knife sets. She plucked one from its perch, testing its weight and balance. The razor sharp edge seemed to shine in the sunlight pouring through the window. She had seen many weapons, some not so well made, but she did know a good blade when she saw it. She twirled the blade with expert precision before placing it back in its resting place. All of the weapons seemed to be highly functional in their design and that was something that the young ninja could admire.

A soft 'hmm' drew her attention and she made her way to the side of the ebon haired man as he admired a few of the pistols in another area of Clay's shop. He held the gun up and sighted down the barrel of the unloaded weapon before testing its weight once more.

"That's a 9mm semi automatic, right?" She looked at the weapon with a critical eye as her gunman turned his gaze to her and nodded. "What? I do pay attention when your giving me and Tifa lessons." She smiled and stuck her tongue out at Vincent, gaining a smile.

"You are correct." He handed the handgun to her, watching as she too tested the weapon. The grip was a little big for her hands, but she handled it with relative ease.

"This feels lighter than usual." She commented.

"Thats because its made of a different material. My own special blend." Clay answered as he entered the room, pushing a cart with five blades wrapped in heavy fabric. Only the hilts of the swords were visible. While not they didn't have intricate and beautiful detail that was trademark to the Koizumi weapons made by Vincent's family, but they had their own sleek appeal.

"Come on over, I'll show you what I got."

Yuffie and Vincent approached the cart as he unwrapped the blades. The listened carefully was they watched him point out the features of the various swords. The broadsword was impressive to say the least with a blade nearly as tall as the little ninja. It was unique in the fact that not only did it have 3 single materia slots, but it also had a two triple materia slots instead of the standard double or single slots. Clay explained that the new design worked well with supportive materia. His favorite combination was to use a mastered all materia along with quadra magic and a mastered bolt materia. He'd never seen a lightning attack so devastating.

Next was a pair of sabres with two double materia slots and two single slots on each blade. Each of the swords held a slight yet elegant cure with blades was so sharp, they cut through the thick fabric that once covered them like a hot knives through butter. With a titanium composite coating on the blade's razor sharp edges, it had his guarantee that it would almost never need sharpening. Yuffie could attest to this, since her own shuriken received on her birthday had titanium reinforced blades and she had not yet needed to sharpen it at all.

The fourth blade was quite beautiful in Yuffie's opinion, and she couldn't help the little 'ooooh' that escaped her lips as Clay picked up the blade and its scabbard. "This is a Flamberge Rapier. Its blade is made of 75 percent carbon, 18 percent steel and 7 percent mythril. The undulating style of the blade can cause a devastating amount of damage when its trust into the body and when removed."

"May I?" Vincent asked, and Clay nodded, handing the blade to him. It was a bit heavier than it looked, but easily manageable. The gunman stepped back and gave a few test swipes, listening to the blade sing through the air. Its hilt was swept and made of silver and seemed to fit perfectly in his hand. With a nod, the blade was handed back to the weapons maker, who sheathed the sword and placed it back on the cart.

"Now this blade is one of a kind," He tossed the fabric back to reveal the final sword.

Yuffie studied the blade and noticed that it was similar in size to Cloud's Apocalypse sword, but where that blade was an almost crystalline white and violet, this one was a silver and when the light caught the blade just right, you could see a uniform green shimmer throughout the blade. The hilt was wrapped with black and green leather to help secure the hilt and there was an pink materia affixed permanently in one of six materia slots.

"I had been working on a method of incorporating certain magical attributes. After many months of trial and error, I managed to come up with a blade that works quite well. Its better if you see the power of the blade though. There's an forested about ten minutes southwest of here. If you guys are up to it, you can see it in action." Clay picked up the blade with ease and brought it to rest on his shoulder.

Vincent looked down to his ninja and watched as she nodded eagerly. "That is acceptable."

"Good," he started for the door with the blade. "Let me get my chocobo from her stable and we'll head out."

"All right, we'll meet you out front." Yuffie nodded and headed for the door with her gunman following a few steps behind her.

Zarek roused from his rest as he heard their approach and stood, giving the small ninja a happy wark. Yuffie rushed forward and scratched him, murmuring to the huge bird, unaware of Vincent's quirked lips as he watched her. She pulled out some greens from her pack and he carefully plucked the leafy greens from her hand only to rub his cheek against her palm once empty.

"You're nothing but a big, intimidating baby, aren't you Z-man?" She cooed and heard Vincent chuckle.

A few moments later, they were mounted on the large bird as Clay rode towards him on a black chocobo of his own. Smaller than Zarek, the ninja guessed the bird to be female and snickered, when their gold turned its gaze to the other chocobo.

"I'll lead the way. I brought the Flameberge as well so you could test it as well." He gave the sheathed blade at his hip a pat while shifting the larger from its custom holder on his back. The couple nodded and with a click of his tongue, his chocobo darted off to the southwest with Zarek quickly catching up to dash at the side of the weapons smith.

.:-o-:.

Yuffie looked at one petrified grand horn, and a second frozen one in its claws raised as if to fend off the attack that locked it into its current state. The blade did an impressive amount of damage as Vincent attacked the large beasts easily after Clay had given them an initial demonstration. Yuffie held the rapier that her gunman had started with and walked close to the defeated beasts and raised the blade, giving it an fast and precise downward swipe, causing the frozen form to shatter to the ground. A smirk traced her lips before she let out a war cry and destroyed the stone figure.

The grand horn lay in crumbled ruins as she turned back to the two men. "So Vinnie, what did you think of the blade?" She asked, sheathing the rapier as she moved towards him. Her adrenaline was flowing from the fights that they had used to test the blades and to put it plainly, she felt good.

He moved his crimson gaze to the bundle of energy and wanted to smile, but didn't feel entirely comfortable with the weapons maker so close. "I believe that this will suit Cloud well. The pull of energy to power the blade's embedded materia feels nominal because of the absorption materia locked within the slot." He said simply, handing the blade back to Clay.

"Yeah, its perfect!" Yuffie added. Cloud deserved something unique and you can't really beat a weapon that is one of a kind.

"All right then," Clay nodded with a smile, "lets head back and get everything settled." He took the blade back from the ninja and placed it at his hip once more before putting the larger blade back into its harness before they made their way back to his home.

.:-o-:.

Yuffie sat on a stool in front of a counter where Clay that clay had set up for business transactions. When the price for the unnamed blade had been determined, Vincent placed his payment card on the counter top. Seeing the look in his eyes, a look meant just for her, she simply smiled and nodded. Once the payment processed however, the ninja pulled out her card.

"Hey Clay, I want to buy the Rapier too." She slid the card forward and he nodded without question.

After everything was taken care of with the payments, Clay nodded and walked around the counter. "You said you were staying in Costa, right?"

"Yep!" Yuffie replied.

"Well, I'll be in Costa in two days to meet with suppliers. I'd add some finishing touches to both blades and alter the harness a bit. You'll have both blades in time for the party."

"That sounds good. Thanks for your help, Clay." She wrote down where they were staying and her number so he could contact them if he needed to.

"No problem Miss Yuffie, Mr. Valentine," he opened the door for them. "Thanks for the business and I'll see you in a couple days.

Vincent nodded as he walked past the man and the door closed behind them. As They prepared Zarek, Vince looked down at his ninja in question and rolling up the tether, the ninja met his gaze with a smile.

"It suited you, Vinnie." She moved to her toes and placed a chaste kiss on his cheek and pulled back to see something swimming in his eyes and smiled. "Don't think it had anything to do with you paying for Cloud's gift. It's a good blade."

The corner of his lips quirked slightly and he placed an equally chaste kiss on her forehead. "Let's return before it grows too late." Watching her nod, he made his way onto Zarek's back and felt her arms wrap around his waist, on of her small hands coming to rest on the flat plains of his abdomen. With a click of his tongue, their chocobo climbed to his feet and with slight tug of the reins, they started back towards Costa Del Sol.

.:-Author's Notes-:.

Yes, this author's note is basically the same for the two updates tonight.

I bet you didn't expect to see an update so soon, right?

I really don't have much to say, story wise, only that we're drawing closer to cloud's party and there's a few things coming up that I have been waiting to do for quite a while now, but it wont come until after Cloud's party...

I already have the next chapter planned out and on paper as ya'll know, I just have to type it all out now and start plotting the other chapters. But first, I'm gonna take a few days to play my new psp game, Dissidia: Final Fantasy!! I traded in my old psp and got the new mystic silver Dissidia bundle. When I got my new psp, I decided to do a bit of browsing on it and was surprised to know that you can now download anime from the playstation store.

The downside? They're english dubs.

I HATE ENGLISH DUBS! THEY'RE EVIL! The only three that are halfway decent are Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist and to a lesser degree, Bleach. Even with bleach, I cringe on some of the characters voices...but until I get a new computer, I can't watch my precious subtitled ones...

-thinks- um, the only other thing web related I can think of is I now have a facebook. I go on every once in a while, but I'm more active in my livejournal. Just look up my email on this site and with that, you'll be able to find me on facebook.

Anyway,

This month has been especially heartbreaking for me. On the fifth of August, I had to put my beloved doggie to sleep. My family had her since she was a puppy and still being bottle fed. I was with my little girl until the very end and thinking about it, still makes me cry. The only solace that I have right now is that she's no longer in pain. I miss her terribly and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her.

-wipes away the teary-ness- Along with that -points up- My health still isn't the best...and because of this, I have had the strangest encounters with the most dysfunctional people that I've ever met. I won't tell ya'll about the transsexual who decided to show me and this other young woman, his/her panties that she carried in her backpack...

...

People are very very strange.

Very special thanks to Mistress of Earth, Empress-Eerian-Sadow, Mystic Fate, and Angey. Thanks so much for your support. You ladies rock.

Thanks to you all again!

Ezzie
