A/N: Happy Thanksgiving! So I think I posted the last chapter like 4 days ago, but I was looking forward to this chapter and as a result this one turned out to be the longest in the entire story. I went through it a few times looking for mistakes and I did find them, I haven't been doing that lately as you can probably tell by missing words here and there. Hopefully I got them all I think the worst I saw was I kept referring to Touro as she because I'm so used to typing she now haha. Anyways, here is this chapter out a lot earlier than anyone probably expected (including myself). I hope you enjoy this and I want to thank everyone for the reviews on the last chapter, they were very kind and gave me some things to think about. I wouldn't be lying if they kind of drove this chapter to get done really fast too haha. Anyways, thank you all seriously. Have a good Thanksgiving and enjoy your weekend, if you are in America have fun on black on Friday, I will be at home probably doing homework or playing league of legends!

Sei frowned when she heard the words muttered from Youko's mouth, she didn't want to imagine what had happened. "Are they alright?" Sei asked as Youko nodded but lowered her head knowing Sei wouldn't like this news.

"They are saying Shimako recruited a few students to do this," Youko started as Sei looked away from her. Youko could see the anger written all over her face as she looked back and prepared herself mentally for the story. "What happened?" Sei asked with a hint of anger in her voice that Youko expected.

"I don't exactly have the full story, but what I do know is that something happened during their gym class that made them angry enough to leave. After that something happened and apparently Yumi was attacked. A few teachers and Sachiko were able to stop it, but they're saying they wrote something on Yumi's face and destroyed something in her bag. Sachiko apparently lost it and attacked one of the girls with her bag enough to the point of being restrained by a teacher," Youko explained as she paused for a moment. "There is one other thing, I received this earlier," Youko continued as she reached into her bag and grabbed out her cellphone quickly bringing up the picture she had received.

"Finally got what they deserved," Sei read on the picture before glancing up and seeing the picture of Yumi as she had turned around with Sachiko yelling something while being held back by a teacher. The picture wasn't great quality but she could plainly seen what was written on Yumi's face.

"Like what you see?" A few girls asked as they noticed what Sei was looking at. "That look suits her well. I still can't those two really did it!"

Youko saw the immediate effect of the girls words on Sei's face. What was annoyed face turned to something different as Sei spun around and grabbed the girls shoulder spinning her around and forcefully slapping her as the girl immediately reached for the side of her face.

"That slap suits you well. A miserable person holding their face after getting what they deserve," Sei said as she grabbed the girl by the collar of her shirt. "Who are the girls that did this?"

"What does it matter to you?" The girl asked before feeling another swift but painful smack to the same spot on her face as the last.

"That was not the answer I wanted, now tell me who did this," Sei demanded with a fury in her eyes that matched Sachiko's. As soon as one of the girls friends stepped up to try and help her Youko jumped in and blocked her.

"They are going to the Rose mansion right now," the girl finally said as Sei raised her hand into the air again.

"The Rose mansion," Sei muttered as she instantly realized what this meant. Shimako was behind this and this time she had gone too far. "This is my fault."

"Sei that isn't true," Youko said as Sei shook her head and sighed, letting the girl go in the process.

"I tried to talk to her, but I couldn't. I didn't want to think she was really behind it and now look at what happened. Yumi and Sachiko experienced yet another terrible misfortune," Sei said as she put her head down, the girl she had just slapped using this as an opportunity to create space.

"It's not your fault, it's Shimako's," Youko said trying to soothe her.

Sei lifted her head with a new look and a new feeling inside. She could feel it in her upper chest and only describe it as anger and it was building fast. "That's right, it is Shimako's fault," Sei said as she started walking, pushing past the girl she had just gotten the answers from.

"Sei where are you going?" Youko asked as she started following leaving the other students behind, unfortunately, Sei's sudden mood change and tone of voice seemed to spark curiosity and soon had many girls following her.

"I can't let this go on any longer, I have to finish what I should have before this happened," Sei said in an odd tone, almost commanding as she pushed out the double doors and started towards the Rose Mansion her pace increasing with her temper.

"Sei you need to think about this, what if you get in trouble?" Youko asked almost pleading for her to stop as they approached the front door.

"I don't care," Sei said as she stopped by the door to finish her thought. "Do you think Yumi wanted to have the word dyke written on her face in marker? She was forced to do it and no one deserves that. . . Shimako needs to know that," Sei said firmly as she swung the door open and started up the stairs with Youko and a small crowd of girls following.

When she finally reached the biscuit door she could feel her heart beating faster, especially when she saw the picture of Yumi in her mind. As soon as she heard the sound of laughter from the other side of the door she forcefully flung it open and entered the room.

The two girls face immediately drained of their life when they saw a furious looking Sei glaring at them. Lucky for them her attention quickly turned to Shimako.

"Onee-sama," Shimako said innocently as Sei quickly walked over to her as she stood from her chair. The crowd of girls all sort of jumping over one another out in the hall trying to see what was happening.

"I am not your Onee-sama you insufferable piece of garbage," Sei said as she grabbed her rosary that hung from Shimako's neck and forcefully yanked it as it broke and pulled her forward a little. Shimako's expression immediately turned grim as she looked up to Sei.

"You think. . ."

"Shut up!" Sei growled as she raised her hand into the air and smacked Shimako as hard as she could knocking her to the ground. "I don't care what you have to say or what you are thinking. You have crossed the line."

"I didn't do it," Shimako said as she felt the side of her cheek only to feel another smack even if her hand was over it.

"Don't lie to me!" Sei screamed as she pointed at the two girls across the table. "I am not as stupid as those two over there, you will not trick me with whatever game you want to play. Your hatred of lesbians has gone too far this time. You had them write on Yumi's face, you had two girls attack a defenseless girl because of who she loves!" Sei shouted as she slapped Shimako again. "How dare you! Who do you think you are to choose who people love!"

"It's wrong," Shimako muttered as she held the side of her very red face and wiped the tears out of her eyes.

"IT'S WRONG FOR YOU!" Sei screamed as she bent over to get closer to her face. "Now stand up!"

"No," Shimako said as she kept her gaze on the floor.

Sei took a deep breath her anger at an all time high, "I said, stand up."

"No," Shimako said again before being forcefully lifted by her shirt collar.

"I suggest you listen to me from now on," Sei said as she turned around and showed Shimako's teary face and red cheeks to the crowd. "Take your pictures, post them where you want," Sei told everyone as she grabbed Shimako's bag and pushed her to get her walking.

"What are you doing?" Shimako asked as Sei grinned.

"Shut up and walk, I'm bringing you to the principal's office. I'm sure after Sachiko's father visited, the principal will be more than glad to hear what you have done," Sei explained as she kept pushing her as the camera flashes went off.

"You know you will get in trouble for what you did to me," Shimako said as they walked out the door Sei now holding the back of her uniform because she wasn't moving fast enough.

"Then we will both be expelled for fighting for our beliefs. I believe that everyone no matter their sexual preference should be allowed a happy life. You believe everyone who doesn't believe what you do should be burned at the stake while their families are murdered," Sei replied as Shimako looked to her horrified at such words.

"Don't look so appalled, I haven't written anything on your face in marker. I have a soul, you are a monster," Sei quickly said as Youko stepped in front of her.

"You are sure you want to do this?" Youko asked as Sei nodded while Shimako raised an eyebrow.

"I've already hit her enough to get expelled, so I might as well make sure they know what is going on," Sei smiled as Youko sighed and glanced down before feeling Sei's lips against her for a few moments. Sei smiled as the kiss broke, "being expelled won't stop me from seeing you."

Shimako just simply looked away in disgust as they climbed the stairs and headed to the principal's office and pushed the door open.

Sachiko immediately glanced over towards the door along with Yumi who still was wiping her face with a wet rag. "Sei-sama," Yumi said as Sei pushed Shimako into the room uncaring that she stumbled and fell to her knees.

The principal immediately stood from his chair as Shimako hit the floor. "What are you doing?!" He asked as he quickly went around his desk and helped Shimako to her feet. "Are you alright? What happened?"

Shimako immediately glanced to her left where she saw Sachiko looking at her as cold as she could.

"How terrible, Yumi your makeup looks horrid," Shimako commented as Sachiko wasted not even a second in standing up and slapping her in the same spot that Sei hard.

"Sit down!" The principal said as he grabbed Sachiko's wrist to stop her from hitting Shimako again.

"Get your hands off of my daughter now!" Touro yelled with a loud pounding noise of his fist hitting the wall. "How dare you lay a finger on her!" Touro yelled as he walked right towards the principal who had released Sachiko already. "Now sit down, I am taking matters into my own hands," Touro commanded as the principal sat down and he turned back to Sahciko and Yumi. After checking Sachiko's wrist he kneeled down and checked Yumi's face before asking if she was alright. When she nodded her head he smiled and patted her shoulder before standing up and turning around. His face lifeless and cold this time as he looked at the people in front of him, surprised to see Youko and Sei. "Were you apart of this?"

"No, they helped us," Sachiko answered as Touro gave a nod and looked to Shimako.

"Who are you exactly?" Touro asked as Shimako remained silent. He couldn't help but notice the look of disgust in Sei's eyes as she looked towards Shimako.

"Is she the one that drew on your face, Yumi-chan?" Touro asked as Yumi shook her head.

"No sir, they are not present," Yumi answered as Touro glanced to Yumi for a second before glaring at the principal.

"Let me understand this," Touro said as he put a finger to his chin, "two girls destroy personal property and draw another girls face against her will and they are not held as long as the victims?"

"You have it all wrong..."

"Do I?" Touro asked as he took a deep breath, "I suggest for the sake of your job you get those two girls in this office NOW," Touro said as he went over and picked up the phone and handed it to the principal. "If they are not on school grounds anymore then do something useful and call their parents. My patience is almost completely gone."

"They were at the Rose mansion when we grabbed Shimako," Youko said as Touro glanced to her.

"Show me where they are, I will go get them myself," Touro said as Youko gave a nod and left the office waiting for Touro outside. "If anyone leaves this office before I get back you will be looking for a job tomorrow."

The principal just nodded as he remained in his seat as the door was forcefully slammed behind Touro. The room mostly remained silent until he got back the two girls entering the office in front of him, both scared to death by the looks on their faces.

"S-She told us to! She said we could be in the Yamayurikai if we did!" One of them said pointing towards Shimako immediately as they entered the room.

"Shut up, you idiots!" Shimako said as she shook her head and sighed.

"Whats done is done and it was done by your hand regardless of what this girl promised you," Touro explained as they both went silent and put their heads down. "Speaking of which, I think we had a talk just recently about an event such as this happening again. Yet here I am, again, dealing with your complete and utter failure," Touro said as he looked towards the principal and shut the door behind him now that Youko was in the room standing behind the chair Sei was sitting in.

"I, well you see, we couldn't predict this," the principal scrambled to say as Touro's glare intensified.

"Your staff could have helped us a little more," Sachiko interrupted as the principal looked towards her a little confused.

"The reason we were at the locker rooms was because someone was again calling me a bunch of names and the gym teacher went after us for causing a scene," Yumi explained as Sachiko nodded in agreement.

Touro glanced back to the principal his facial expression showing anger building as he awaited the principal's response.

"I, I cannot tell people what they think is wrong and right," the principal tried to argue.

"Shut up, you are no better than them!" Yumi shouted, "all you people ever bring up is wrong or right and I am sick of it! I am a girl and I fell in love with Sachiko who is another girl, she is my girlfriend, she is the one I have given my everything to. I made the decision that I love Sachiko, I made the decision that I wanted to be her girlfriend, and I made the decision that I would give my virginity to her," Yumi said as all the girls turned their head to her, some in shock, some in surprise. "Furthermore, I did not cheat on Sachiko, she is the only person I have had sex with so I would appreciate it if you stopped telling lies, Shimako! You do not get to decide how I live my life just as I don't decide how you live yours, because trust me, I don't want you spreading rumors and having your lesbian haters club writing things on my forehead and destroying my personal belongings. You cannot decide who gets to do what based on your own stupid beliefs because at the end of the day, I am just as much a human as you are."

"You're a lesbian," Shimako commented as Yumi stood up this time and took her own swing smacking Shimako across the face.

"You deserved that one," Touro simply commented as Sachiko pulled Yumi back into her lap trying to calm her down.

"That is enough, no one will hit this girl again," the principal said as Touro glanced to him uncaring of his warning.

"So tell me, what are we going to do about this?" Touro asked as the principal looked to him with question written on his face.

"I-I guess based on school code we will have to determine as staff what their punishments will be," he responded as Touro smiled and stood from his seat.

"Good, then gather every available staff member right now and tell them to meet us here in the office."

"W-Well, that isn't usually how we do things and you are not part of the staff," the principal said as Touro turned to him, his patience gone.

"It has become increasingly apparent to me that your so called rules are not factored in when it comes to my daughter and Yumi-chan. If I were to let you meet with your staff you would come back and slap these three on the their hands while damning my daughter and her girlfriend. Yumi-chan is right, you are no better than the rest of them which means for this to be a fair judgment we need a non-bias person there," Touro explained as Shimako turned in her seat and looked up to him.

"You are bias towards Sachiko and Yumi," Shimako said as Touro glanced down to her immediately making her feel small.

"Mad because someone is finally on our side?" Sachiko asked as Touro put a hand up to stop her as Sachiko gave a nod and let him speak.

"You are in no place to judge the likes of me, they will both be in trouble for hitting you as is the rules. However when they leave this school they will not be punished for defending themselves. Furthermore outside of the schools control, I will be in contact with all of your parents to make sure this entire situation is well known," Touro explained as he looked to the principal again. "Gather them now, bring them to this office if you must."

The principal just simply nodded as Sachiko sighed resting her forehead on the back of Yumi's neck as she was still sitting in her lap. "This is a headache," Sachiko said as Yumi covered Sachiko's hands that were in her lap with her own.

"This was your decision," Shimako reminded them without looking as Sei jumped to her feet.

"Enough!" Touro commanded as the entire room when silent and he put a hand up stopping Sei with a shake of his head telling her not to do it. "I am sick of your vile attitude. I will not stand by and listen as you say such things," Touro said as he grabbed the phone from the principal's hand and put it on the hook. Touro just shook his head displeased as he pressed the intercom button, "all staff to the principal's office for an urgent manditory meeting now!"

"Why don't the rest of you wait in the classroom nearby," Touro said as he looked between them. "I will have a careful eye on all of you, any actions you take or words you say will be considered when discussing the severity of your punishment. That means you too Sachiko," Touro said to appease Shimako who just rolled her eyes.

Sachiko just simply nodded as she stood with Yumi and joined Sei and Youko before leaving the room. Shimako and the other two girls followed suit, but kept their distance from the others.

"Yumi-chan let me see your face," Youko said as Yumi glanced to her only to see a smile appear on her face. "I just wanted to make sure you got all of the marker off."

"It wasn't easy," Yumi sighed as Sachiko frowned glancing back towards the girls but seeing her father standing in the doorway beyond them.

"Well it won't go unpunished this time," Sachiko assured Yumi as they entered the classroom and headed towards the back to establish their spot away from Shimako.

"Speaking of punishments," Youko said with a heavy sigh, "I need to apologize for what I did to you Sachiko and Yumi. I was horrible, I said and did things that just...weren't right," Youko explained as Sachiko smiled a little.

"It's fine, Rei experienced something similar from what I can tell," Sachiko said as Youko shook her head.

"It's not alright, I took something from you that I shouldn't have and I want to ask you to take it back, but I realize as much as I want it, you will probably say no," Youko said as Sachiko raised an eyebrow watching Youko reach into her pocket and grab out a familiar piece of jewelry. "I realize I have no right in asking you take this back, but... I would be grateful if you could allow me to be your Onee-sama once more, Sachiko."

"I. . ." Sachiko paused as she looked to Yumi.

"I will never be able to help you or love you as much as she can, but I realized awhile ago that I should have never taken this back," Youko went on to explain as Sachiko looked back to her before smiling after a brief pause.

"I would be glad to have your rosary back," Sachiko said as Youko smiled lifting the rosary placing it once again around Sachiko's neck where she felt it belong.

After a brief hug between Sachiko and Youko, Sei cleared her throat getting their attention. "I also have something I've been wanting to get off my chest," she started as the three looked to her. "I mean it's not much of a surprise I don't think but. . . I love you, Youko," Sei simply said as Sachiko and Yumi both looked to Youko. ". . .I love you so much and...and I was hoping maybe you could consider being my girlfriend."

Sei put her head down immediately after asking due to being afraid of rejection, but what she didn't see was the happy surprise that had crossed Youko's face. ". . .Yes, Sei... I would like that very much," Youko confirmed as Sei lifted her head with a smile as she hugged Youko tightly.

Yumi sighed as Sachiko looked over to her, "I'm feeling kind of left out."

Sachiko just chuckled at this before leaning over and pressing her lips against Yumi's with her eyes closed.

Click!

"Now there is a picture we can send around the school," Sei said with a smile as Yumi blushed and Sachiko fake considered it.

"Delete that!" Yumi complained as she grabbed for Sei phone but not before she felt her own phone vibrate.

"There, now you have a picture that isn't ruined to put in your diary," Sei said as she deleted the picture on her phone and watched Yumi smile at her own.

"Thank you," Yumi said softly as Sachiko wrapped her arms around her and looked at the picture with her.

"There will be many more where this came from. We will get you a new diary that is bigger than the old one and fill it up with happy memories," Sachiko said as Yumi nodded.

"We can both write in it," Yumi said as Sachiko's smile grew.

"That sounds perfect," Sachiko agreed before hearing the loud noise of a chair moving over the floor as Shimako stood up.

"Your lesbian love fest is grossing me out quit it," Shimako said as she stood from her chair and glanced towards the door that the meeting was taking place in. "You're just lucky your daddy has a lot of money."

"Don't listen to her, she is annoying," Yumi said as Sachiko smiled and turned her back to Shimako.

"In the end we are all getting suspensions," Shimako said with a sigh, "I will be suspended for being mean, they will being suspended for destroying your dumb diary or whatever it was and you all will be suspended for being lesbians."

"If they can suspend me over that than fine, because it's true," Yumi replied as she looked to Sachiko for a moment. "It will be true in ten years from now and even twenty, the only difference is you won't even know who we are anymore. We will be married and living together and it won't make a difference to you at all, so why does it matter now?" Yumi asked as Shimako just shook her head.

"Tell yourself whatever you want, I know what is right," Shimako said as the door to the classroom opened and Touro invited them back into the principal's office where a few teachers and the principal stood.

The girls lined up in front of the desk as Touro joined the teachers and nodded for the principal to start.

The principal looked to Youko first, "Youko Mizuno, we have no proof that you did anything, therefore you will not receive any actions against you."

"I did may terrible things actually," Youko admitted as the principal looked back to her. "I hurt them more than you think, therefore I will accept whatever punishment Sei gets."

"I understand what you are saying, but I unfortunately cannot allow that," the principal said as Youko bowed her head a little.

"Satou Sei, for hitting another student, repeatedly I might add, you will be getting a long-term suspension." The principal said as Sei just shrugged realizing before she entered the rose mansion that this was her fate.

The principal glanced to the two girls who had attacked Yumi and looked at the paper in his hand. "As for you two, we will be contacting your parents immediately after this meeting to discuss your expulsion for destroying another students belongings, attacking a student, and drawing on a students face with marker against their will."

"Fukuzawa Yumi," the principal said as Yumi stood up straight everything she had done recently going through her head a million miles a minute. "Yelling at a teacher, hitting a girl and leaving a class in session...with good reason, will be getting you a long-term suspension. We will also be contacting your parents about this matter," the principal explained as Yumi frowned a little bit, she had never been in trouble like this before.

"Ogasawara Sachiko, yelling at a teacher, hitting a girl multiple times, trying to kick a girl, arguing with a teacher, leaving a class that was in session, and cursing at a teacher. Of course all with good intention." the principal said as Sachiko averted her eyes from her father who was upset but feeling oddly proud that she was able to stick up for herself no matter the case. "You will be receiving a long-term suspension, contacting your parents isn't necessary at this point," the principal noted as he glanced to Touro.

"Toudou Shimako, spreading false rumors that damage the reputation of other students, manipulating others into hurting others for you, disrespecting your classmates, alienating your classmates, and disrespecting teachers, along with many other considerations based on your overall attitude towards this situation. We will be calling your parents to the school immediately after this meeting and discussing your expulsion from this school."

"E-expelled?! For what?" Shimako asked as the principal sighed. "I barley did anything!"

"Intolerance with the inability to listen, I see a hard future for you," Touro sighed as he walked to Sachiko and Yumi's side. "I trust this situation is under control now?" He asked as the staff nodded quickly.

"Good, then I will be taking these four with me," Touro said as he turned to the girls and put his hands up directing them out the door. "Come on, we need to discuss your punishments."

-X-X-

"Expelled, she got expelled!" Yumi said as Sachiko put an arm around her in the car and kissed her forehead with a smile.

"She has been expelled, Yumi, she will finally be leaving us alone," Sachiko said as her smile grew along with Yumi's.

"Hopefully the school will calm down after this, up until now no one has really been getting in trouble for attacking you two." Sei said as Touro smiled this time.

"There will still be girls that call us things and say things I'm sure, but all the rumors and big attacks were by her, huh?" Yumi asked as Youko sighed with a nod recalling the way Shimako had acted before she left the Yamayurikai herself.

"Unfortunately yes, she really does not like you two because of what you have, but I think she is just jealous now," Youko explained as Sei leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"Personal experience?" Sei asked as Youko blushed deeply causing the rest of the passengers to chuckle.

"Yes, but I faced it and now I have you," Youko answered with a smile as Touro raised an eyebrow.

"You mean, you two are together?" Touro asked curiously as Youko took Sei's hand and nodded. "Very interesting and congratulations, I hope you haven't had as much trouble as my girls."

"Your girls?" Sei asked curiously as Touro nodded before pointing at Sachiko and Yumi.

"Our families were already close and I would be lying if I said I hadn't overheard talk of weddings from your bedroom Sachiko," Touro explained as Sachiko blushed deeply this time along with Yumi who hid her face by Sachiko's arm. "Yumi-chan is practically family already, even if not by blood she has taken Sachiko's heart and loved her more than I could ever ask anyone to. After all this you two are still together and talking about the future, I'm incredibly proud of both of you just as your mother and Yumi-chans parents are," Touro continued with a smile as Sachiko's blush vanished.

"Thank you, dad."

"Now, time for your punishments," Touro said as the car came to a stop.

"This is an ice cream shop?" Sachiko asked as Touro nodded before glancing out the window.

"You were both attacked for no reason and stood up for yourself. Furthermore, you two took actions into your own hands even at the risk of getting in big trouble you brought the source of the problem right to the principal's office. . . As far as I'm concerned you have all done absolutely nothing wrong, but you have had a rough day and what better way to cure that than ice cream?" Touro asked as Sei smiled and nodded before practically jumping out of the car with Youko in hand.

The others just chuckled as they climbed out of the car and shut the door.

"Thank you, for sticking up for us," Yumi said as Touro stopped and turned towards her and Sachiko. "I know we have been causing you problems by making you come to the school."

Touro just simply reached a hand out and rustled Yumi's hair a little. "I should be thanking you, Yumi-chan. You've given Sachiko a reason to be in this situation. She loves you and I know those feelings between you two are strong after seeing how you dealt with this. So in reality, I should be thanking you for giving my daughter a love that I had only dreamed she would find in her lifetime."

Yumi just simply smiled with a slight bow of her head not sure what to say to that.

"Now let's go get some ice cream and then maybe if you two promise to keep your hands to yourself I could arrange a sleep over for tonight."

"Really?" Sachiko asked as Touro smiled and opened the door to the store, the excitement in Sachiko's voice was very apparent just like when she was a child.

"Only if you promise to keep your hands to yourselves."

A/N: Hey I wanted to post this down here because it would seem odd up top and it's been awhile since I've done two authors notes! Gave it up awhile back for one at the top, but as I said, better down here. This story is not over there is another chapter coming though you can probably imagine what it is going to be like. That being said I wanted to take a minute and discuss what I will be doing next. I thought of working on a Strawberry Panic story because I have this idea where Shizuma is actually a virgin and it would be silly with a serious side to it. Then I watched this show called Kotoura-san (I believe that is how you spell it) and I came up with a better idea for Sachiko and Yumi and I've had scenes playing through my head since. In the end I will be making a MSGM story (shocker I know haha) with the idea that Kotoura-san uses. I won't be using any of their characters or anything like that, but there is something in that show that I just thought would be amazing in this. So you can expect that coming up soon enough, but I'm entering the last 2-3 weeks of the semester which means I have final projects and such so I will be a bit busy. I will try and finish this story up and get started on my next one! I really hope you enjoyed this story, I had a lot of fun with this one. One last thing is seriously thank you thank you thank you for the reviews and likes and follows and whatnot. I started doing this for fun and it is really fun for me still, but to wake up and see emails from fanfiction really can make my day sometimes and definitely makes me want to get better at writing these. So again, thank you for everything thus far!
