I don't own Skip Beat!
Or I'd work on that instead.
Authoress' Notes: Just to make this clear. This story is set after the events of Valentine's Day. Maybe a month later? Anyways, at first I was going to include Ren's kiss in Kyoko's mentality. But I decided instead to make it something she's worked through and mostly forgotten about. This is mostly because when I started, I wasn't sure how her character would handle it - I'm still very new to this fandom. Sho's kiss? Well she definitely hasn't fully gotten over that, but she's not spending her days thinking about it either. Really. Who would want to?
As to why Sho didn't get the other male lead in the drama...that's too predictable. Where's the fun in that? Plus director Shingai seems the type who would want to deal with actors...not singers who want to try their hand at acting. But remember, it is a tv drama. There are other roles that need to be filled - that was just the main cast. Sho might still make his tv drama debut...or not.
Before we go on to the story, I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed (we've hit 30! =D and for just three chapters!). Each and every review makes my day because it means that someone liked my story enough to want to tell me. It's a great feeling. I also want to say that I read your suggestions and what you like and don't like about my story, and I take it all to heart. But ultimately, this is my brain child, and I have to write what I feel is right.
Now. Quiet on the set! Kyoko's Fairytale begins in 3...2...1...ACTION!
"Ren, you need to eat. Kyoko-san will be very upset with me if you don't," Yashiro pleaded, giving up all dignity.
Ren was picking at his lunch. He never ate much unless Kyoko was around to scold him and voice her concerns for his health.
"She'll be upset with you too if she finds out," Yashiro continued shamelessly. He wasn't actually concerned for Ren. Ren could take care of himself where Kyoko was concerned...except when it came to expressing his true feelings for her. Yashiro, instead, was concerned for his own well-being. After all, he had seen Kyoko's anger before, and he didn't want there to be any reason for her to direct that towards him.
Mercifully, Ren started actually eating the food in front of him.
Yashiro decided he could give Ren a treat since the actor was saving his ass.
"Since we're still running rather early, why don't we go visit Kyoko at the track to assure her that you've eaten lunch. It'll make her happy to know that you took care of yourself, and it's on our way," Yashiro suggested having already gotten the location of the track from Sawara...just in case.
He watched as Ren started eating faster. The increase in the rate of food consumption would have gone unnoticed by anyone else. Yashiro was not anyone though, he was Ren's manager...and friend.
Kyoko turned away from the man standing in front of her, giving a very audible huff.
"Hello, Shoko-san. How's it going?" Kyoko asked his manager with a deceptively casual air. Her grudges were back in full force, and despite her even tone, it was impossible not to feel the aura of hatred around her.
"That's not what I meant!" Sho shouted angrily.
"Oh, now that's a mature reaction," Kyoko said sarcastically before choosing to ignore him. For once, she was very aware of the people around her. Daisuke and Aki didn't need to see her verbally attack Sho...maybe even physically attack him if she was provoked enough. Directly attacking him wouldn't accomplish anything anyways. He'd still be a famous singer after all was said and done.
But showing him up...well that would make him feel awful, all while emphasizing how much better than him she was...not to mention that it would just be fun. And she had the perfect tool for that in her hands now.
Sho started talking at her again, but she somehow managed to tune out his every word. Ren would have been proud of her.
"Aki-san," Kyoko addressed her instructor calmly, "I believe Yoshida-san and I are ready to begin if you're done with your other client."
The Kyoko in front of Aki was not the girl he had been working with for the past few days. She was hard and cold. He was used to seeing a sweet, calm, determined girl.
"Of course," he answered quickly. "Your bike's in the shed. The one Daisuke-san will be using is parked next to it."
"Thank you," she stated simply. Then she promptly dropped her bag and opened it up to pull out the boots, riding gloves, and leather jacket she had stored in there. She was already wearing jeans. She kicked off her shoes and slipped the boots onto her feet, stuck her arms into the leather jacket, and pulled the gloves on, all while pointedly ignoring Sho. She didn't need to wear the extra padding anymore.
"What are you doing here anyways?" Sho was demanding angrily now.
Kyoko just glared at him. "I'm here to ride a motorcycle you dumb ass," she snapped before turning on her heel and walking towards the shed.
Shoko was trying to calm Sho down, but she wasn't having any luck. Daisuke and Aki just watched the whole scene in stunned silence. Neither could figure out exactly what had caused the one-eighty in Kyoko's behavior, though they were intelligent enough to realize it had something to do with the fuming boy standing in front of them
Kyoko finally reached the small shed where Aki stored the bikes. She disappeared inside and came out wheeling one that was obviously too big for her. Then, she disappeared back into the small building again and came out with a sleek red helmet on her head, rolling a smaller motorcycle forwards.
Sho was finally distracted from his nonsensical ranting when he saw Kyoko throw her leg over the motorcycle's seat. The bike was a bright red like her helmet, small and fast. Sho recognized it as a Japanese model, a Kawasaki sportbike.
"She's not actually going to ride that is she?" he asked no one in particular, laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. He couldn't imagine the demure Kyoko of his past ever riding a motorcycle. What he kept forgetting was that Kyoko was not limited by him anymore.
Kyoko heard him and revved the motorcycle's engine to show her anger.
"Oh! I can't wait to see this," Sho continued on gleefully, fully ignoring Shoko and the other two men standing with him. "She's just going to embarrass herself when she falls. Really, why's she even here?"
Aki looked at his client with something close to pity in his eyes. Not because he particularly liked Sho, but because the young singer was about to be humiliated.
"It's for her new role."
Sho looked at the man who had unexpectedly answered his question. "Excuse me?" he asked rudely.
"She's starring in a new drama. Her character needs to ride a motorcycle. From what I've heard, she's learned quickly and is pretty good," Daisuke answered, ignoring Sho's rude attitude, while looking at the track. "But you can check that out for yourself."
Sho followed Daisuke's stare and turned his own gaze to where Kyoko was already moving, and then his eyes widened to comical proportions. She was speeding around the track, taking every curve much faster than she would have if she was not so pissed off. She was the complete opposite to Sho on a motorcycle. Where he was awkward and choppy in his movements, she was relaxed and fluid. Where he looked uncomfortable, she looked like she was a mere extension of the bike instead of a separate entity. Where he moved at a snail's pace, she was a cheetah.
"Ah, Kyoko-san! Take it a little slower!" Aki called out, cautioning the angry girl.
Kyoko, realizing she was making rash decisions in her fury, went one step further than slowing down. She had proved her point, and could see Sho's wide, glazed over eyes from where she was. She brought the bike to a complete stop, right in front of her audience. She didn't forget to steady herself with her foot. The bike didn't fall over on her when she climbed off.
She pulled off her helmet and stared fiercely at Sho.
"Now. What was all that you were yammering about?" she asked sharply, not breaking her pointed stare.
Sho was still shocked and couldn't retort.
"Wow, Kyoko-san," Shoko commented, "you're amazing. How long have you been practicing for?"
Kyoko tried to sound less cold when she responded to Shoko's question. "Less than a week," she answered a little too sweetly, knowing what would come next.
"Less than a week?" Sho yelled angrily. "You're lying!"
"It's true," Aki stated calmly. He wasn't sure what exactly he was in the middle of, but he felt like he needed to validate Kyoko's claim.
"There's no way a no-talent person like you could have learned to ride a motorcycle in less than a week!" Sho kept shouting.
Kyoko didn't even look at him when she answered, "You know, it's not my fault you're not any good at it!"
"What?" Sho spluttered.
"You heard me! You're not perfect! You're not good at everything! I'm actually amazed that you're good at anything," she continued, picking up some momentum. The longer she stood with Sho, the harder it became for her to act like she wasn't as worked up as she really was.
"This coming from the girl who- "
But Kyoko didn't hear the rest. It was that moment that another car pulled into the lot. One that grabbed Kyoko's full attention.
She instinctively took a step back from Sho and placed herself nearer Daisuke and Aki while she watched the driver's side door open. Then she waited to see what would happen.
'He can't possibly get angry with me, right? It's not my fault that the idiot was here,' she thought.
Ren was shocked by the scene before him.
Kyoko was standing in front of Sho, while the singer glared at her.
'Why is he here?' Ren demanded the heavens, cursing fate for bringing Kyoko and Sho together...again. He really was fighting against powerful forces, but there was no way that he was going to give up.
Another look at Kyoko though, and Ren was put somewhat at ease. She was looking at him as he approached. Not Sho. Him. That had to mean that Sho didn't occupy as much of her mind and heart as he had before. Right?
"Mogami-san!" Ren greeted her cheerfully when he had reached the small group of people gathered by the track with Yashiro trailing along behind him.
Trying to be helpful to Ren, Yashiro dutifully chimed in, "We just came from lunch!"
It did the trick. Kyoko's attention was pulled from Sho as she turned to give Yashiro and Ren a genuine smile. "I'm glad," she said, happy that Ren had listened to her and taken care of himself. "But how'd you get here so fast?" she asked confused. "There was a lot of traffic."
After she spoke, her thoughts returned momentarily to Sho as she marveled at how easily she had been distracted from him. All because Ren had shown up and started talking to her. Her full attention was yanked right back to Ren though when he spoke again.
"We heard about it on the radio and managed to avoid it," Ren explained coming to stand beside her so that he could face Sho.
"What are you doing here?" Sho finally bit out angrily, finding his voice.
"Well, I had some time before my next job, and since this was on the way, and since Mogami-san had been so worried about my health earlier, I came to reassure her and to see what progress she's made," Ren answered calmly, placing a hand possessively on Kyoko's shoulder. His cold eyes contrasted the easy smile he was wearing.
Shoko and Yashiro knew what was going on. Ren was blatantly showing Sho that Kyoko wasn't the singer's, and Sho was getting mad. Daisuke and Aki were just more confused. The poor mens' heads were whipping from speaker to speaker as they tried to figure out what the relationship between the three young people was. Kyoko though was perhaps the most clueless to what was going on. She was oblivious to Sho's and Ren's hostility towards one another.
Sho noticed the difference between Ren's eyes and the rest of his demeanor. The possessive hand on Kyoko's shoulder did not go by unnoticed either. Sho wanted to growl at the other man. Sho had to occupy the biggest part of Kyoko's heart. He had to be the one on her mind. She was his and would never be anyone else's.
But right now, he could see that Kyoko was barely thinking of him. Her eyes were focused on Ren, and he had seen the happy smile she had given Ren when the actor's manager had said that they had eaten lunch. What was with that? This was all wrong. Completely wrong. Had the kiss he had given her on Valentine's Day already been forgotten?
He blamed Ren. Everything was Ren's fault.
And now the bastard was ushering Kyoko back onto the track, saying that he had to leave soon and that he wanted to see her ride first. That other guy was also getting ready to ride. And Sho, well he was going to -
"Sho! We have to go," Shoko told him as she started heading towards the car, planning to wait for him to catch up to her there.
Sho looked to her, startled out of his thinking, before looking back at Ren.
Yashiro had gone closer to the track with Aki, where Aki was instructing his two students. Sho was angered to see that not only did Kyoko ride well, but the guy with her did also. They were both better than him.
"You should go."
It was Ren's voice he heard. It was a sound that was really starting to piss him off.
"You think that you stand a chance of getting her?" Sho scoffed. Ever since Karuizawa, he had noticed Ren's possessiveness, and it bugged him. Kyoko was no one else's, let alone this jerk's. "She'll never stop thinking of me. You'll never win her heart."
"She's already forgetting about you," Ren retaliated coolly, "and you know it. She's not letting you rile her up. She turned her attention away from you. You're not the most important person in her life anymore. She's building a family. She has friends. Her heart will open up again, and I'll be there when that happens. I'm fighting for her."
Sho glared at Ren in disgust. "What you do doesn't matter. It'll always be me. Whether you're there for her or not. She'll never love you."
"She might never love me, but whatever else happens, I will not allow her to dwell on you. Even if she ultimately chooses someone else, as long as it's not you, I will be happy for her," Ren told Sho. Then Ren's eyes narrowed: "Your manager is waiting."
That was when Ren walked away, unable to deal with Sho anymore. His anger was rising. Sho's words echoed his very worst inner fears. That Kyoko would be unable to get over Sho. That Kyoko wouldn't be able to move on with her life. That even if she did, she wouldn't love him.
But then he remembered how brightly she had smiled at him. How readily she had accepted his touch on her shoulder. How much she worried for him. How she had ignored Sho and had focused her attention on him just now. She might not love him, but she accepted him, and his place in her life was most definitely rivaling Sho's. She cared what he thought about her. She sought his opinions. She respected him.
No. It wasn't love. But he wasn't losing to Sho.
"Tsuruga-san!"
His eyes snapped to Kyoko who was going around the track at a slow pace, one arm in the air, waving at him. Worry instantly seized him, but she lowered her hand and placed it back on the bike. Then she picked up speed, and he watched her fly around the track. She was a regular speed demon.
No. She couldn't be a demon.
She was his angel.
"She's starring in a drama!"
Sho had finally processed the first part of Daisuke's explanation for Kyoko's presence at the track.
Shoko rubbed her sore ears - they protested Sho's loud exclamation. Suddenly this was going to be a very long day.
Kyoko pulled the helmet off her head and looked at Daisuke with a smile on her face. Ren had to leave soon after stopping by, but she had felt elated since he had come. His presence had managed to distract her from Sho and calm her down somehow. Ren hadn't even known Sho was going to be at the track. He had dropped by just to visit her and to let her know that he had eaten like she had told him too.
That wasn't something he needed to do as her sempai. He could have just called... Maybe... No. Ren was her senior, he wasn't her friend... But he was treating her the same way Kanae sometimes did, and Kanae had openly admitted to being her friend... Kyoko was confused by his behavior to say the least. 'Maybe Ren really is a friend,' she thought.
She started thinking about maybe asking him about it all so that she could unravel the mystery, but her thoughts were interrupted and she promptly forgot about her plan.
"Kyoko-san, you're really good for only a few days practice," Daisuke complimented her. "Heck, you're good for anyone."
"Thank-you, Yoshida-san," Kyoko answered happily, still exhilarated from her ride. The blush that would have come to her cheeks went by unnoticed because they were already flushed.
"Please. Call me Daisuke. Yoshida-san is much too formal," he told her, "I'm only a few years older than you."
"I'll try to remember that, Daisuke-san," Kyoko compromised, keeping the honorific on his first name.
After the brief exchange, the two packed up in relative silence while Aki checked over the bikes. As Kyoko finished getting ready by switching her riding boots for her flats, Aki approached the two with important news.
"Daisuke-san, you seem to know what you're doing. I could tell that you were out of practice when we started, but you seemed comfortable by the end. And Kyoko-san, your improvement continues and you're riding very well. Both of you are ready to get your motorcycle licence. I will take you at our next lesson. We'll load the two bikes into the back of my truck, and then we'll go get you two legal to ride on the road. As for being prepared for your movie scenes, you should both be fine. I'd like to continue lessons, though not as frequently, to make sure that you're staying in practice," Aki explained to them.
"I'm getting my licence?" Kyoko questioned, surprised by this turn of events. It was something she hadn't even though about.
"Of course," Aki answered, "if they have to shoot you driving down a road, even if they close it down, there could be some legal complications if you're not licenced. This way, we avoid trouble, and you can also ride around town for fun if you so choose."
"Sounds good," Daisuke commented.
Soon after that, the two actors said their goodbyes and walked back towards the parking lot. Daisuke had insisted on giving Kyoko a ride to wherever she needed to go.
"I have nothing else to do today, Kyoko-san. Really, it's fine. Just tell me where we're going," he told her for the umpteenth time.
Kyoko hated to impose on someone she barely knew, but a ride would be really helpful, so she finally gave in.
"Could you take me to the LME offices?" Kyoko asked as she buckled her seatbelt.
"Do you have a meeting there or something?" Daisuke asked.
"Or something. I have some work to do before I can go home," Kyoko replied, not wanting to talk about her pink jumpsuit or the menial tasks she would probably have to do when she got to the office building. She was only slightly embarrassed by the pink jumpsuit these days. Mostly she was unbothered by it, all because she was willing to do whatever it took for her to find her lost emotion.
"Maybe I could come pick you up afterwards?" Daisuke suggested when they were closer to the office. When he had first seen her at the cast meeting that afternoon, he had thought she was cute. Spending the little bit of time with her this afternoon had only encouraged that idea. The only reason he was offering her a ride instead of asking her out on a date was because he didn't want to seem too eager.
"Oh, you really don't have to!" Kyoko was quick to exclaim. "I couldn't possibly ask you to go out of your way again to pick me up, though it was very kind of you to offer. And anyways, I promised a friend that I would help her out with something after I was done working."
Kyoko didn't see Daisuke's face fall slightly at her answer. The American film star wasn't used to rejection. He was handsome and he knew it. Girls usually swooned when he asked them out. Kyoko however, was unaffected.
They arrived at LME and Kyoko climbed out of the car, thanking her co-star profusely.
"How about I walk you inside? I'm signed with LME now and since I'm here I might as well see if they've found me a personal manager yet," Daisuke said as he climbed out to join her.
Kyoko had no objections. It made her feel better that Daisuke actually had a reason for going out of his way to drop her off here now.
The two of them walked in through the actor's entrance to the building, and then headed for the acting department's offices. As they passed through a hallway near the Love Me office, Kyoko's eyes landed on a familiar shade of bright pink.
"Chiori-san!" she called out excitedly.
Chiori turned around, her eyes landing first on Kyoko, and then moving automatically to the man standing next to her. Daisuke was tall, though not nearly as tall as Ren, and his dark hair was long enough that he could tie it into a short ponytail. He had a small hoop earring in one ear, warm eyes, a square jaw, and broad shoulders. Chiori was sure that if he were to take off his shirt, she would catch sight of washboard abs. All in all, he was good looking.
Chiori's heart sped up for a moment. It was a natural reaction to seeing an attractive man. It was the same thing that had happened when she had been introduced to Tsuruga Ren by Kyoko. Just as quickly though, her heart returned to normal and she got over it. She had no need or desire for boys right now. She was too busy trying to become a better actress and finding the love she had lost to worry about guys. Just as quickly as her eyes had snapped to the man, they left him and focused back on Kyoko.
"Are you here to work, Kyoko-san?" Chiori asked when the introductions were done. She had only acknowledged Daisuke long enough to shake his hand.
"Yup. Do you need any help with anything?" Kyoko enquired.
"Not yet. I was just heading back to the office to see if there was any work to be done," Chiori answered.
"Then I'll join you," Kyoko said while she took a step away from Daisuke and towards the girl in pink, "I guess this is where I leave you Daisuke-san. I'll see you in two days at the track."
And with that she rushed off with Chiori, leaving the handsome actor alone in the hallway wondering what was different about these two girls that they were both so very unaffected by him. It wasn't his fault that the two were both Love Me Section members.
"Onee-sama!"
Kyoko looked up from the floor in the hallway she was mopping to see Maria, Lory's granddaughter, standing by the "Caution: Wet Floor" sign that Kyoko had put up remembering all too well the gum incident back when she had first joined LME.
"Hi, Maria-chan!" Kyoko called out just as cheerfully. She was happy to see the little girl who called her big sister.
"Are you almost done?" Maria shouted down the hallway, unwilling to walk on the potentially slippery floor.
"Yup! I'll be there in a second."
Kyoko had promised to go shopping with Maria. Of course shopping with Maria meant something entirely different than shopping with Kanae. Maria's fascination with the occult meant that of course the two girls would be visiting some "special" stores, and since Maria still loved to play, toy stores were also a must.
Kyoko finished up her mopping and headed carefully over to where Maria was, holding onto the wall for support. Once Kyoko had reached the dry part of the floor, Maria hugged her tightly. "Come on!" she urged Kyoko. "Put the mop away, get out of that jumpsuit, and let's go! Grandfather's limo's waiting!"
"Thanks so much for the ice cream!" Maria chirped sweetly while she licked the frozen treat with delight.
"That's what big sisters are for, no?" Kyoko remarked while she sat down heavily on a bench.
She was exhausted. Maria had tugged her from store to store. She had seen dresses and accessories, voodoo dolls and interactive games. And now Maria was loaded down with bags. She briefly wondered who gave Maria so much money to spend when a limo pulled up by the two girls. 'I almost forgot about him,' Kyoko thought, before the door burst open and Lory emerged.
He was dressed as a swordsman from the feudal era, though Kyoko was relieved to notice that he didn't actually have a sword with him. Whoever had designed this costume had been smart enough to not give the President something he could wave around in his excitement and potentially hurt other people with.
"How was shopping, Maria-chan?" he questioned excitedly, his eyes twinkling.
Maria hopped from her chair with her ice cream in hand to go stand by her grandfather. "It was great! I got everything I needed to, and I even bought onee-sama a present!"
Kyoko's head snapped up. 'What present?' she thought. She didn't remember Maria buying anything for her. They had picked up a new ribbon for the little girl, presents for her father and grandfather, and some supplies to satisfy Maria's fascination with the occult. Kyoko hadn't seen Maria get anything else.
"Oh! You have to show it to me!" Lory exclaimed like an excited preteen.
"I'll dig it out in the car," Maria said as she finally moved passed her grandfather and climbed into the limo. "Are you coming onee-sama?"
Kyoko immediately stood and held her hands in front of her, shaking her head no. "It's okay. I don't need a ride. Really." She had been saying that a lot lately.
"Kyoko-chan, it's getting dark. Don't be silly. Let's go," Lory said, climbing in behind his granddaughter. He wasn't giving Kyoko a choice in the matter. Kyoko climbed in behind him, pulling the limo door shut and settling into the comfortable seat.
When the limo started moving, Lory turned his attention to his granddaughter.
"So what did you buy Kyoko-chan, Maria-chan?" he asked, the sparkle coming back into his eyes.
Kyoko repressed her groan for Lory's behavior while Maria dug rapidly through her assorted bags, coming up with a small black one. She handed it to Kyoko and smiled brightly. "I hope you like it! I saw Moko-san and Chiori-san looking at it in a magazine in the LME office. Moko-san said that she thought something like this might look good with your new dress."
Kyoko's curiosity peaked. She accepted the black bag, giving her thanks to Maria. Then she opened it and pulled out the small silver box. Kyoko looked up at Maria, with shock in her eyes.
The silver box was from a jewelry store, not a super expensive one mind you, but one that was renowned for their beautiful pieces. Kyoko gingerly lifted the lid from the box and felt a warm feeling starting somewhere in her body as she took the accessory from its case.
It was a bracelet made up of small, circular, polished pieces of turquoise set in silver. The set stones were held together by delicate silver links.
"Do you like it?" Maria asked nervously.
Kyoko didn't know what to say. She couldn't accept a gift like this. It was too much. She was about to say that she couldn't take it, but when she looked up and glanced at Maria's face, the words were lost.
"I love it. Thank-you, Maria-chan," she whispered instead, the warmth building in her.
She was rewarded by Maria's ecstatic smile. "I'm so happy that you're happy onee-sama! Now you have to wear it with the dress that Moko-san said it would match. I want to see you all dressed up!"
"Of course, Maria-chan," Kyoko answered. She owed Maria so much more than that.
Kyoko then turned to look at Lory, who was being bombarded by Maria's insistent: "Isn't it pretty, Grandpa?" His eyes were focused on her, and a small smile played on his lips. Kyoko turned her gaze back to Maria, not understanding Lory's look at all. The warm feeling was still in her heart, and it grew when she looked at the little girl who was truly like a little sister to her.
'She doesn't realize that she already knows how to love. She shows it to almost everyone she meets, and she inspires others to show it to her. If only she could recognize it and desire it,' Lory thought to himself while he looked at his very first Love Me member.
Kyoko had piqued his interest when she had shown up for the LME audition. Since then, every moment that she had spent with his agency had just made her more interesting to him. And her relationship with Maria and the little girl's high praise of Kyoko had only endeared his granddaughter's supposed "onee-sama" further to him.
Lory was very invested in her future now, and he wanted every happiness for her. Especially given the sad past he assumed she had. No father. A mother who didn't care where her daughter was. It was a sad life, and Lory guessed that was part of the reason the girl felt so incapable of love, even if she didn't realize it herself.
Sho sat fuming in a corner.
It wasn't supposed to be happening like this.
He was supposed to be leaving her behind in the dust.
Instead, she was becoming more famous.
He was supposed to be the only one on her mind.
Instead, he was losing his standing.
And who the hell did Tsuruga Ren think he was?
"You're not the most important person in her life anymore. She's building a family. She has friends. Her heart will open up again, and I'll be there when that happens. I'm fighting for her," Sho repeated Ren's words mockingly.
"Well then I'll fight too," he resolved.
"After all.... She's mine."
A/N: I couldn't resist the Maria moment. She's adorable. This chapter's a little bit shorter. Oh well. Now we're going to skip over a few boring days. Coming up next time...the photo shoot! Sorry. We've spent too much time with Kyoko and her motorcycle already. Obviously she'll get her licence. We don't need to see that. Until next time.
