So, before we start, I'd like to tell you all that if you don't like the concept of the story or the ship of Reese X Ursula, you do not have to read the story; it's your choice.
PS, I am still a huge ReeZan shipper, don't worry.
Also, there is a change to the canon of an episode prior to this one (Dinosaur Amour), I just wasn't happy with how I wrote it, so I'm skipping it and I'll mention what happened there through characters as we move through the story.
TRIGGER WARNING: Self-doubt, self-degradation, lack of self-worth, domestic abuse (to the extent the original episode shows it, but might be more detailed)
IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE OR EASILY TRIGGERED BY ANY OF THE STUFF MENTIONED ABOVE, PLEASE, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Yet another mission ended in their failure. Yet another card was taken by those brats!
"You failed?" Dr. Z yelled at his henchmen when they returned from their most recent mission, "you three blockheads do absolutely nothing for me! Why do I even bother keeping you around?" The trio gulped as they listened to him.
"Well, that's because we-" Ursula tried to respond.
"I wasn't really asking!" Dr. Z snapped at her, making the three jerk in fear, "you three are in the doghouse, so now you can act like dogs! You are only allowed to bark!" He couldn't be serious...
"Why...?" Zander wondered, but the only answer he received was a kick in the face. The other two stared in shock and shuddered when Dr. Z turned to them.
Quickly taking the hint, Ursula did what she was told and barked instead of speaking. She snapped at Dr. Z and surprisingly he knew exactly what she wanted to ask.
"How long will you have to stay dogs?" he said, waiting so her to nod, "until I decide whether to keep you or not." The trio gasped, their eyes widened in shock. "So, do what you're being told and be dogs!"
This was so humiliating... But hey, this was their punishment for failing once again, so nothing can be done about that. They had no other choice but to obey and Dr. Z abused that as much as he could.
"At least as dogs you obey orders," Dr. Z admitted after his minions showed him all the tricks he asked for, "until you succeed in collecting some dinosaur cards, it's dog chow in the dog house for you!" The trio whimpered, knowing that he was dead serious.
And he was...
"Until I decide whether to keep you or not!" was something that resonated in their heads.
This whole treatment lasted for hours and stayed during lunch. While the rest of the Alpha Gang was sitting at the table, eating, the trio was forced to sit on the floor and...eat nothing but bones out of a dog bowl.
That's what they get for messing up so many times. That's what they get for being hopeless wastes of space.
Right after lunch, just like dogs, they were thrown outside where they each had their own doghouse.
"What? We're supposed to live in these things?" Ursula wondered when she saw three small wooden houses they'd barely fit into.
"Shh! We're only allowed to woof and bark, remember?" Zander shushed her in panic as Ed was examining the doghouses.
"Who cares?!" she snapped out.
"Guys! These doghouses are great!" Ed called out to the others.
"What?"
"He's right, Ursula, it's nice in here," Zander said as he peeked into one of the houses, "there are even doggie jammies for us to wear!"
"Huh?" Ursula looked inside, seeing three dog costumes, a small bed and a TV, "you're right! You know, with a few tweaks this could be nice." She crawled inside to take a closer and so did her team members with their houses. And that's when everything in the doghouses became dark. The light from the sun was gone. "Hey, who shut the door? Open up!"
"I'm locked in! Help!"
"Turn on the lights! It's dark in here, I'm scared!" the trio yelled out, banging on the metal doors.
"Did you think you were just going to lounge around in there?" they heard Dr. Z's voice from the outside, "I'm sending you to get dinosaur cards, and don't let me down!"
The ground started to shake and they felt as if they were risen up like in an elevator.
"What's going on now?!"
"This rocket has just enough fuel to get you to where the dinosaur card is, so once you crash, get to work!" Dr. Z ordered them. That one word really caught their attention.
"Crash?!"
"Dr. Z! The Alpha Scanner?" Zander called out as the rocket was taking off.
"All right. Rod, throw!" Dr. Z told his grandson who threw the Scanner attached to a little plane at the rocket, "bring me that card or don't bother coming back!"
—
They weren't sure how long the rocket was flying for or where they were even heading. After what felt like hours, a beeping sounded through the rocket. A beeping the three of them knew very well.
"The fuel's gone!" Zander gasped, "we're going down!" They were and neither of them could do anything from their doghouse prisons.
The rocket lost its height, collapsing to the ground, and breaking in half. The three henchmen fell out of the rocket, laying in a crater.
"Call Dr. Z. I have a bone to pick," Ursula let out, staring at a bright blue sky as the clouds became blurry. Her eyes soon closed.
Unknown to them, when they crashed, they broke more than just the ship. A card capsule was laying nearby, wide open. Once the wind blew, the card inside was carried over to a bush. In bright green light, an Iguanodon materialized.
The dino looked confusedly around and when it noticed another life near it, it made its way over there. Over to the Alpha Gang. All three of them were unconscious until the Iguanodon leaned over to Ursula and licked her cheek.
The green-haired opened her eyes and as she spotted the creature above her, she smiled. This didn't exactly feel real. Even if it wasn't, she had to get up and try to capture it; that's why they were sent to whatever this wasteland was in the first place. But she couldn't move her body at all; it was so heavy.
And so were her eyelids. They slowly shut as she passed out.
It was only in a few hours that they all woke up and decided to look for any civilization or at least water, so they aren't dehydrated. Ursula just brushed off the Iguanodon sighting as a hallucination from the heat.
"Where in the world are we?" she suddenly asked, leaning on an improvised cane.
"I think we're somewhere in Australia," Ed replied, wiping sweat away from a handkerchief.
"The Alpha Scanner seems to have been damaged by the impact," Zander said as he held up the Scanner with the screen showing nothing but static.
"That's just great. So now we can't even call for help," Ursula growled in frustration, gritting her teeth, "not like anyone cares about us enough to come and save us anyway!"
She wasn't wrong. Dr. Z did send them off with the words "bring me that card or don't bother coming back". He cared about those stupid cards more than about them; he couldn't be troubled to think about their safety...
"Don't bother coming back!" those words echoed in her head until Ed spoke up.
"I'm so thirsty I could drink a mud puddle-"
"Yeah? How about I get you a soda at the next mini-mall?" she interrupted him. Her anger quickly faded away as she spotted something moving at their feet. A lizard. "This is the first time I've seen a frilled lizard."
They watched the little walk away and gasped as they saw another approach, this time a bigger one.
"A monitor lizard! This place is crawling with creatures," Ursula exclaimed.
"As expected from Australia," Zander pointed out.
The monitor lizard was then followed by something much larger and much, much older. It walked past them as they just stared, not even believing their eyes.
"Wow, I guess it's true what they say. Everything in here is bigger," Ursula exclaimed as they continued moving forward.
"Too bad they're not bigger on drinking fountains," Zander commented.
"I know. I'm about to burst into flames," Ed whined.
"Yeah, and I'm starting to see things," Ursula groaned when she suddenly froze in place and turned her head to the right, "huh?" What was standing there was a dinosaur. "That's no lizard!"
"It's an Iguanodon!" the trio exclaimed. This was great! That's what they came here for-
But the Scanner isn't working; they can't fight the Iguanodon...
The dino glanced at them, nudging its head forward.
"Got a crick in its neck," mumbled Zander.
"I think it's telling us to follow it," Ed theorized and the Iguanodon started walking.
"What've we got to lose?" Ursula said and shrugged before they followed the dinosaur.
—
The Iguanodon led them to a lake surrounded by trees. The three dehydrated humans stared in disbelief before rushing forward. Ed started drinking as Ursula and Zander jumped in the water. While he was swimming, she was sitting in shallow water and looked up at the Iguanodon.
"Iguanodon, leading us here saved our lives. Thank you," she said.
"You don't think it was just a coincidence?" Zander wondered, floating over to her.
The Iguanodon lowered its head to Ursula, who was just staring at it, and it licked her cheek, making her chuckle.
"Hey. Stop it," she giggles, "that tickles!" As the dino pulled away, she reached out her hand to it, strangely mesmerized by the creature. It leaned in, resting its head against Ursula's chest.
"It does seem to be pretty attached to you, Ursula," Zander pointed out, "maybe it thinks you're its mom or something."
"Nah!" she exclaimed, shrugging as the Iguanodon turned around, "now, where is it going?"
"Shouldn't we catch it before it leaves?" Ed asked, walking over to the other two.
"Of course, we should!" Zander snapped, "we came here for a dinosaur, and here it is, so all we have to do is turn it into a card, and we can quit being the Doctor's dogs!"
"But how do we do that when the Alpha Scanner is broken and there's no way to get Spiny, Terry, or Tank out here to fight with him?" Ursula shook her head.
"You have a point there," Zander admitted.
"I say we follow it," the green-haired decided, "after all, it's brought us good luck so far." She laughed, got up, and ran after the dino. She jumped behind the Iguano's neck. "Now isn't this nice?"
"Hey, that looks a whole lot better than walking!"
"Yeah! All aboard the Iguanodon!" Zander and Ed said as they rushed to them. They tried to hop on the dino as well, but the Iguanodon lifted its head, causing the two men to crash into each other. They groaned in pain.
"It says that there's no room for you two," Ursula chuckled.
The Iguanodon made its way forward and eventually, it enters a village near Ayers Rock.
"Oh, my aching feet," the two men let out, too tired to go on. Thankfully for them, they didn't have to continue.
As the trio and the dinosaur walked through the village, people watched them in disbelief.
"Never seen anything like it."
"What is it?"
"We've never seen anybody riding atop a lizard before!" the villagers exclaimed.
"It's not a lizard, you know," Ursula spoke up, "it's a-"
"They're lizard charmers! Fantastic!"
"We're what now?" She tilted her head in confusion.
"We welcome you to our humble village, strangers," an old man said as he walked up to the trio.
"Oh! Well, thank you," Ursula mumbled.
"Come, please follow me. You must be very tired after your long journey," the man told her, leading them further into the village.
"Actually, I feel great," Ursula commented and her team members groaned at her words, but were happy to seemingly have someplace to stay for a bit. Or at least that's what they expected.
The villagers gave them something to eat and drink, but when Ursula spoke up, things turned against the two of them. She took advantage of the situation for her own gain, making the villagers praise her like a queen while her team members were looked down upon due to her words.
For a split second, they thought they were freed from Dr. Z's treatment for at least a bit, only for Ursula to force them into countless jobs for the profit of the village.
While she and Iguano were sitting outside and feasting with the villagers, Zander and Ed walked around Ayers Rock with full fridges on their backs, selling drinks and food to tourists. And if they complained, some men from the village would threaten them.
Not only that Ursula treated them like slaves, but she also decided that they'll all live in the village without even asking them. Realizing that this is how their every day might have to be, both of them sobbed.
"Excuse me, could we have some water, please?" a kid asked them, making the men wipe away their tears and turn around with smiles on their faces. Even if they hated the job, they wanted to avoid customers' complaints.
Although, their smiles were replaced with faces full of shock. The kids that asked for the water were none other than one of the D-Team brats. The three kids were just as surprised.
"It's the Alpha Gang creeps!" Zoe exclaimed.
"So, the dinosaur must be around here, right?" Rex figured, causing Zander and Ed to shriek.
"We don't know anything!" they blurted out, "no dinosaurs around here!" In a panic, the two of them started running away. The D-Team just watched them disappear in the distance.
—
As her teammates were found by the enemy, Ursula was doing something surprising; helping people. She and Iguano were tasked to clean up a field from boulders. The dino pulled on a rope around a rock while the woman cheered him on. Soon, the rock rolled out of the way.
"Thanks to you we can plant here now," one of the villagers said.
"Don't thank me," Ursula replied, smiling, "thank my friend here." The Iguanodon nudged her lovingly, making her giggle. She patted his head. "Oh, Iguano, you're just a big softie, aren't you?"
Having him close like this felt so warm and so different from anything she felt before. The closest feeling to this was what she experienced while shopping, but that couldn't even compare.
"I never thought of them this way," she admitted quietly to herself, "I just saw dinosaurs as cards, not loving, living creatures. It was that stupid mission that took that away from them... Maybe if it wasn't for Dr. Z or the Ancients, I'd realize earlier that they are more than pieces of paper." She glanced at Uluru in the distance as it slowly changed color alongside the sky thanks to the sunset. "It'd be nice to stay here forever."
"How long will you have to stay dogs? Until I decide whether to keep you or not!" Dr. Z's yell sounded in her head, repeating the same thing over and over again, "keep you or not! Keep you or not!"
"If I take you back to the Zeta Point, Dr. Z would treat you even worse than he treats the three of us... You shouldn't be forced to go through something so horrible." Listening to Ursula, Iguano nuzzled her back, and tears formed in her eyes as he did. "You're definitely better off here. We both are..."
That warm and different feeling was suddenly broken by an Alpha Craft flying above her and a voice coming from its speakers.
"What do you think you're doing, Ursula?"
"Seth?!"
"Capture that dinosaur! Now!" Seth's voice insisted as the Craft flew above her again.
"Wait! You don't understand!" Ursula yelled at him.
"Are you defying the Doctor's orders?"
She froze when he said that. She was sure that her heart stopped, the whole world around her stopped. She was lost for words, staring at the Alpha Craft.
Seth was right; she was defying Dr. Z's orders and she knew what that meant for her...
It was Iguano's cry that made her snap out of those thoughts. She took one look at him and realized what she had to respond.
"Yes, I am!" Ursula shouted at the top of her lungs, "I've decided that I'm going to stay right here! I've had enough of being treated like some kind of animal by Dr. Z! I'm never going back to that island again!" Those words lifted such a weight off her shoulders.
"Ursula, do you really mean that?" Zander and Ed panicked as they ran over to her. That relief was quickly gone since the two of them heard her loud and clear.
She swiftly turned her back to the two of them. She didn't even consider how this would affect them. It'd be better to take them with her, right Although, thinking back to that paralyzing fear she felt just a few seconds ago. Running away from Dr. Z was one of the most horrifying ideas and she knew that neither Zander nor Ed was strong enough to handle that horror just yet.
"You guys can go back if you want," she told them, "it's-it's up to you..." They glanced at one another. She couldn't be serious...
"I guess we have a choice to make," Zander said.
"You choose," Ed told him, "I always pick the wrong one." But before they could decide Seth's Craft headed towards the Iguanodon.
"Stop that, Seth! Don't attack him!" Ursula begged him, but it was too late. Tears streamed down Iguano's cheeks as his vision became blurry and he went out of control, running into crowds of people, ramming into boulders, causing them to break or fall over.
"Iguano!"
"Do something, Ursula!" the villagers demanded. But what...?
"Iguano! Please!" He didn't listen. "Okay, plan B." Ursula glared at Zander. "Don't just stand there. Think of something."
"O-okay," he let out, "I have an idea." He reached into his pocket, pulling out the Alpha Scanner.
"I thought it was broken," Ursula pointed.
"It just needed a little collision with the ground," Ed replied.
Meanwhile, Seth noticed something out of a broken boulder.
Zander swiped a card, summoning Terry who immediately knocked Iguano away while the surroundings changed. They were trapped in another time warp, this time it was a volcano.
"Did you have to hit him so hard?" Ursula snapped at Zander before rushing over to Iguano.
He rammed into Terry, however, was then hit with Volcano Burst, causing him to collapse to the ground.
Seeing this, the D-Team, who just arrived, got involved. Their Parasaurolophus joined the battle.
Ursula fell to her knees beside the Iguanodon, crying.
"Oh, Iguano! Please be all right! I'm so sorry, Iguano. This wasn't meant to happen."
"Ursula, you've got to get out of the way!" Zander called out to her. She raised her head to see Terry charging at her. She refused to move. The Tyrannosaurus was heading her way, yet she stayed where she was and hugged Iguano tightly, ready to take the hit with him.
Terry was only a few meters away from her when he was hit by Pteranodons, getting knocked over. Ursula watched in shock for a bit, trying to catch her breath. That brat saved her...?
"Oh, Iguano!" She pulled him closer, but her heart abruptly shattered into million pieces when the dinosaur's body started to glow in a green light, turning him back into a card. The card fell into Ursula's shaking hands. "Iguano...I'll take care of you," she sobbed quietly, "I promise."
However, there was still a battle around her. The Pteranodons charged at Terry.
"Got to get those birds off of Terry," Ed said, "it's back to the usual losing pattern."
"Tail Smash!" Zander shouted out as he swiped a move card. Terry slapped the Pteranodons away with his tail, defeating them. Unfortunately for him, Zoe was already prepared and activated another move.
Paris charged at Terry, smacked him with her tail, knocking him to the ground, and jumped on him, stomping him into the ground three times. With a weak roar, Terry turned back into a card, making the battlefield disappear.
Unaware of what just happened during the fight, Seth landed the Craft and walked up to the broken boulder, seeing a card inside it. He picked it up.
"Velociraptor?" He smirked to himself and chuckled devilishly.
"Good job!" Zander exclaimed as he and Ed walked over to Ursula after picking up Terry's card, "we can go back home now."
"Home...?" she mumbled questioningly, her eyes locked on the card.
"The Doctor will be so happy with the Iguanodon card," Ed added.
"Happy, huh?"
She only glanced up when a group of villagers stormed over to the three of them.
"Sorry, but you can no longer live in our village," they announced. Ursula's eyes widened in horror. This couldn't be true...
"W-wait!"
"Your lizard nearly got us killed!"
"He didn't mean to!" she blurted out, falling to her knees, "please, let me stay here!"
"No! Don't say that! You've got to come home!" her teammates insisted.
"Until I decide whether to keep you or not!"
"I've decided that I'm going to stay right here!"
"So, do what you're being told and be dogs!"
"I'm never going back to that island again!"
Dr. Z's and her own words kept echoing in her head, screaming at her.
"Keep you or not!"
"Stay right here!"
"Be dogs!"
"Never going back!"
They were getting louder and louder.
"Keep you or not! Keep you or not! ...or not! Be dogs! ...dogs!"
"Stay right here! Stay right here! ...right here! ...right here! Never going back! ...never! ...never! NEVER!"
"Home?" she let out in a strangely calm voice, loud enough for them to hear, silencing the voices in her head, "you call that a home?" She got up to her feet and turned around to them. "You seriously wanna go back? Back to him to be treated like we don't matter?! He doesn't care...!"
"You know that's not true," Ed said, "the Doctor loves us."
"That isn't love, Ed! And if this is love...I don't wanna be loved." Ursula wrapped her arms around herself. "Look, if you wanna go, just go. But I'm never going back to that place."
"Are you abandoning us?" Ed asked her.
"Don't say it like that..."
"If you really are staying," Zander spoke up, "then at least..." He reached his hand to hers which was holding the card, but she quickly pulled away.
"We're both staying," she told him firmly.
"But without the dinosaur card, we're gonna be punished," Zander reminded her.
"Zander, I can't give him to you!" she snapped at him, tears in her eyes again, "I can't leave him!"
"But-"
"You remember that little peacock you brought home as a kid?" Ursula wondered, catching the tall man off guard, "you couldn't bring yourself to leave it." He glanced away from her but quickly turned around when he heard Seth's Craft's engine start.
Both men took one last look at their trio's leader. She just shook her head and mouthed "I can't" before turning her back to them. They tried reaching their hands to her but gave up halfway through. However, before they ran off to Seth, Zander dropped the Alpha Scanner beside her. Then the two men rushed over to the Craft, grabbing onto it as it took off, leaving Ursula behind.
She was standing there in silence, watching as the villagers walked away, and then she fell to her knees, crying.
What now...? She just left everything she knew to stay in a village that banished her. Sure, she was with Iguano, but what was she supposed to do? Was this really worth it?
"Is there anything we could do to help?" a voice she recognized too well asked her. She lifted her head to see the brats looking worried yet it felt so provocative for them to just look down on her.
"I'm not asking for your help," she growled as she stood up, catching a glimpse of the Alpha Scanner beside her, "just get lost."
"We saw and heard everything," Rex told her.
"Yeah? And all of that is none of your business!"
"But you don't have anywhere to go," Max joined in, "you can't just roam around here without a place to stay. You can come with us."
"You just want the Iguanodon card, but you can forget about that," Ursula snapped out.
"That's not it," Zoe told her, shaking her head. Ursula clicked her tongue in response.
"Then why do you want me to go with you?" she wondered, "I'm the enemy. You can't trust me. I can be pulling a scheme here!"
"You're close to that Iguanodon, aren't you?" Zoe said. Ursula shifted her eyes away from the preteen. "I saw how you protected him. I heard what you said; I know that this isn't a trick. Now, it's up to you if you wanna come with us or not."
Ursula tightened her grip on Iguano's card. There was something reassuring about the D-Team's offer. She couldn't quite put a finger on it. Maybe it was the opportunity to get away from the people that now hated her? Or maybe the fact that she'll be away from the last place the Alpha Gang saw her?
"Fine," she suddenly spoke up, picking the Alpha Scanner up, "I'm going with you." The kids just glanced at each other in surprise before nodding.
—
Back at the D-Lab, a beam of light transported the D-Team back home, but to Spike and Reese's surprise, the kids weren't alone. Noticing the bleak woman with them, Reese got up from her chair.
"We're back," Max said, "and we've brought-"
"You?" Reese exclaimed surprisedly, staring at the green-haired.
"Hi, Blondie," Ursula let out as she waved at her weakly and a soft smile formed on her face.
"You two know each other?" Spike questioned.
"You could say that," Reese answered before turning back to Ursula, "but what are you doing here? I thought you were-"
"I left the Alpha Gang," Ursula quickly interrupted her, walking off the platform and laying her Scanner and Iguano's card on the table before heading to the only door in the room, "do what you will with that Scanner, but I recommend taking it apart, looking for trackers and stuff."
"Where are you going?" Zoe asked her, "you said you'd come with us."
"And that's what I did; I never said I'd stay. I only agreed because Dr. Z would be looking for me in Australia. I had to get out of there," Ursula explained, "I won't bother you or your families. They surely won't be thrilled to let someone who nearly set the city on fire stay."
"No one is bothered," Reese told her, "if it's truly about that, you could spend a night here."
"You'd let a former evil sleep in your HQ? Plus, you seriously don't-"
"I'd stay here to keep an eye on you of course," she added, "but it's your choice."
"Okay, okay," Ursula mumbled, folding her arms on her chest, "one night, but only for you, Blondie. And if you promise me to take care of Iguano."
"I promise." Reese nodded.
So, it was settled. Ursula was staying at the D-Lab for the night—something no one would have even thought of just 24 hours ago. After dismantling the Alpha Scanner, Reese prepared sleeping bags for the two of them in the lower part of the control room.
"You were quite insistent on getting me to stay here," Ursula teased with a smirk, "any reasons for that?"
"Empathy. Generosity. Knowing how to show genuine kindness towards another human being," Reese replied as Ursula tilted her head confusedly.
"Excuse me, what now?"
"What? Are you that big bad villain that has never heard of love?" the blonde joked while her tone remained monotone. She eyed the ex-Alpha Gang member and worries took over her expression. That mocking smirk was gone from Ursula's face as she sat down on the floor. That was the wrong button to push...
Reese walked up to her and sat on the floor beside her, giving her a reassuring smile.
"Thanks for giving a damn about me," Ursula murmured.
"Don't mention it. I've got to say, it is nice to see you again," Reese admitted. It's been a few weeks since they met each other back when Ursula got separated from the Alpha Gang. When those two met in Canada and accidentally switched bags, they didn't even think they'd see one another again.
"You say that to all your enemies that robbed you?" Ursula wondered, a smile forming on her face.
"Tried to rob me," the blonde corrected her.
"I still got the dinosaur card in the end, so I did succeed."
"Because I let you," Reese reminded her.
"Cause you good guys are all sissies and you pitied me," Ursula chuckled.
"Considering what the things you mentioned implied, I had to," Reese's tone shifted, sounding a bit grimmer now, "and I'm going to assume that's the reason you left."
Ursula wrapped her arms around her legs, pulling her knees to her chin, her body tensing up. As soon as Reese noticed, she glanced away.
"I won't force you to talk about it if you don't want to," she assured her, "it's okay to take your time."
"All I'll say is that..." Ursula spoke up after a few seconds of silence, "I'll run to the edge of the world to keep Iguano away from Dr. Z."
"You truly aren't who I imagined when Zoe described you."
"I am still a villain; you just caught me in a bad mood."
"Well, even a villain can be redeemed if they really want it and try," Reese told her, a soft smile on her face. Ursula smirked back warmly. It was so refreshing to hear words like that. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea that she went with the brats. Maybe things could get better from now on. They were already different, but the good kind of different.
It felt nice not to be beaten up or yelled at all the time.
—
Alright, chapter 1 is done! I can guarantee that the next few chapters won't be just rewritten scenes, but they were needed for this one. I am very excited to write Reese and Ursula's dynamic more in the future.
So, Ruff and Ready has an actual impact on characters now, yay! Honestly, one of the best DK episodes.
I hope you enjoyed and see you soon!
