Hello lovelies. For the next few chapters, the rangers will be enjoying a much deserved break for Christmas along with Belle's family and friends. I am trying my hardest to get as many of these chapters out before Christmas, but I feel like the more I want to write the chapters, the more my inspiration slips away from me. Right now I am watching a live stream of Gab Smolders to try to get me motivated to write. I tried Christmas music and Christmas movies, but for some reason that doesn't seem to work. But anyways, I am looking forward to the down time that the rangers are going to have for the next week in the story. For each chapter, I will put a Christmas quote to get into the holiday spirit. I hope you all are looking forward to this chapter and the next.
Alex B. Goode: Hello lovely, that is what I am thinking of having Belle do that once her active ranger duties have ended. For now I am planning to have her go through to Dino Thunder next, then Mystic Force, and finally Operation Overdrive. I have a feeling that I'll know more how she is going to interact with the following ranger teams after I write the last of Operation Overdrive.
Now that we're finished with that, let's get on with the quote.
"As long as we love, there will always be Christmas."

The morning that the Rangers were set to leave, Belle was up extra early to make breakfast. She had told the other rangers to arrive at Ninja Ops at eight in the morning so that they could grab some food before they left. She, on the other hand, had already packed with her luggage on her bed and dressed in an outfit consisting of white jeans, knee high tan heeled boots, and a cream sweater. Her hair was up in a messy bun as she went about making pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, toast, and sausage with orange juice, milk, tea, and coffee to drink. Not long after starting work on breakfast, Belle had prepared the usual cup of coffee for Cam since she knew that he would be up not long after her. And true to her hunch, Cam shuffled out of his room to the kitchen dressed in khakis and a green sweater. Without any words, Belle handed over the premade cup of coffee. Cam made a noise of appreciation when he took the cup and took a long sip. Cam's tired eyes watched Belle move around the kitchen to cook until they, and his overall demeanor, seemed to wake up more. He had drained the first cup of coffee and had made another when he moved closer to Belle.
"Do you need help?" Cam asked.
"Yeah, could you set the places at the table? I'm almost finished with the food."
Cam gave a nod and went about setting places for the residents of Ninja Ops, the Wind Rangers, and the Thunder Brothers. Just as Cam finished setting up, Belle started setting out platters filled with breakfast food.
"This looks good," Cam smiled at Belle when he saw how much food she had put out.
"Thanks," Belle said with her own smile. "The others should be here soon."
As if on cue, Hunter and Blake came into the kitchen from the front entrance.
"Morning Anna," Hunter greeted the petite kunoichi.
"You outdid yourself," Blake commented.
"Good morning. Thank you."
Cam was now sitting at a place at the table so Belle showed the brothers to their seats. Sensei Watanabe had also joined the group and began eating his breakfast. A few minutes later the Wind Rangers were sitting down and enjoying their breakfast. There was some light conversation between the rangers as they ate that slowly died out when everyone had finished eating. Rather than try to wash all the dishes by hand, Belle pulled out her wand and all the dishes started washing themselves.
"Does everyone have their bags?" Belle asked the rangers.
They all gave an affirmative and pulled their bags from where they had sat them before breakfast.
"Great. Cam and I need to grab our bags, along with Sensei's, and we can start getting ready to go."
The two were quick to grab the bags and return back to the kitchen where the rangers waited.
"Everyone should change into boots if need be as well as a thick winter coat." Belle advised as she turned to Sensei Watanabe.
"I'll cast the same spell for this trip. If you ever feel unsteady or feel off, come find me and I'll cast the spell again until we come back home."
Sensei Watanabe gave a nod to show he understood before he was enveloped in white gold light of Belle's magic. Just like during the Thanksgiving holiday, his form grew larger and his familiar face appeared. After he had regained his human body, Sensei Watanabe quickly ducked into the bathroom to change into some winter clothes with boots and a thick coat.
"Alright, are we all ready?" Belle asked, looking at everyone in the kitchen.
When she got nods from everyone, she pulled out a ring out of her pocket.
"Aperta Porýli," Belle said, tossing the ring in front of the group.
The ring floated in the air and began to spin and grow to the point that it was large enough for everyone to step through that rang with each spin. Shane and Blake looked a little apprehensive of the glowing portal, but Dustin looked like a kid in a candy store.
"After you," Belle said while gesturing for the others to walk through.
Dustin was the first person to walk through with his yellow duffle bag slung over his yellow coat. Hunter was next followed closely by Cam. Then came Sensei Watanabe, Blake, and the Wind Rangers. Belle was the last person to walk through the portal so that she could close it behind them. On the other side of the portal, Udonna and Clare were waiting for the group.
"Welcome," Udonna greeted the group with a warm smile.
"I already have the key to our cabin. We should arrive before the others so we can situate your rooms."
Since the group was already in a secluded corner, Udonna raised her hands and let her white magic envelop the group to teleport them to their cabin.
ooo0ooo
When the group arrived in the living room of the cabin, everyone but the sorceresses looked around them to take in their surroundings. In front of them sat a large L shaped couch with an overstuffed chair next to it and an overstuffed loveseat perpendicular to a side of the couch. Two coffee tables sat in between the seats with some bean bags peppered on the overly large rug. To the right of the rug were four large picture windows with the curtains drawn back and a large flat screen tv mounted on the wall over the windows. To the left of the large rug was a circular staircase that led to the second floor. Further ahead of the living room was a large dining table with seats meant to house everyone coming for the trip. To the back left corner of the open living room, was a little kitchenette with two separate breakfast tables. To their left, they saw a door to a bedroom. Behind the kitchenette was another door. The last door on that side of the cabin was a sliding door that led out to a back porch with a hot tub housed in a wooden enclosure with a double door.
"Luna and I will be sharing the bedroom to your left," Udonna told the group.
"The door behind the kitchen is a bathroom. Follow me and we'll head upstairs where you will be staying."
Without further ado, Udonna led the group up the spiral staircase that led up to a landing. Two doors were set against the wall while the other side of the landing overlooked the living room. There was another door set against the wall to their left that Udonna walked up to.
"All of your rooms will be past this door once I modify it."
With her hand glowing white with her magic, Udonna placed her hand on the door. When she pulled her hand away, she opened the door to show a hallway with three doors on the right and two on the left.
"You are free to divide the rooms how you wish, but Anna's room will be the last door on the left."
"Thank you Aunt Udonna," Belle smiled happily.
"I'll take the first one on the right, if you don't mind Tori," Clare said to the water kunoichi.
"I don't mind," Tori agreed.
"Blake and I will take the first door on the left," Hunter spoke up.
The girls had already left for their room while the Thunder Brothers left for their room.
"Dad and I will take the second on the right," Cam told the rest of the group before walking towards said door.
That left only the last door on the right for Shane and Dustin to take so they left to get settled in. Since Belle was the last one, she gave her aunt a hug then ventured to her own room. When she walked inside, she was greeted with a queen sized bed pushed against the back wall with a bedside table on either side of the bed. To her immediate left was a vanity table with a seat and to her right was a dresser. Two doors rested against the wall to the right. Upon closer inspection, the furthest door was to a closet while the other door led to an ensuite bathroom. Belle wasted no time unpacking her bags. Her clothes were taken out and put together in outfits then hung them up in her closet while her underclothes, socks, and thermal wear were placed in the dresser. Her accessories were put on the vanity table along with her beauty products like her skincare, perfume, and things for her hair. Now that everything was put away, Belle grabbed her wallet and headed out of the magicked hallway to the actual part of the cabin. The rangers and Sensei Watanabe met up with her on the way out, only to meet up with the newly arrived Briarwood natives. A large smile split Belle's lips at the sight of her friends and she all but ran down the spiral staircase to the living room.
"Guys!"
"Anna/Belle!" the Briarwood teens returned with equal enthusiasm.
Chip was the first person to wrap Belle up in a hug that was warm. Next was Maddie who gave a laugh as she held her close. Then came Vida.
"You ready to hit the slopes, chica?" V asked while wrapping her arms around Belle's shoulders.
"You bet."
And finally came Xander. For his hug, he wrapped his arms around Belle's waist and lift her in the air to spin her around. Belle gave a laugh as Xander let her down so that her feet were on the ground again. When Belle took her eyes off her friends, she saw that they still had their suitcases beside them.
"I'll take them to their rooms," Mama Luna said with a small smile.
"Winter, could you fill the others on the plan for today?"
"Of course."
As Mama Luna led the four teens up the circular staircase, the rangers and Sensei Watanabe turned to Udonna.
"What we have planned for today starts with lunch after everyone is unpacked," Udonna began.
"After lunch we will go for gondola rides and snowboarding or skiing. There will be lessons if you need them. After that we will have dinner and then more skiing or snowboarding before we turn in for the night."
"We're gonna have so much fun!" Belle cheered excitedly.
"Where are we going to eat?"
"We'll stop at one of the restaurants near the gondolas," Udonna said.
The group downstairs didn't have to wait for much longer for the others who were unpacking to come back down to the living room. When they met up with the rangers plus Sensei Watanabe and Udonna, they were filled in on the plans for the day. The teens were more than happy to head off for lunch even if they hadn't been at the resort for long. The group made sure that they were bundled up in their winter coats before venturing out of the cabin and back towards the main part of the resort.
Udonna and Mama Luna chose a bustling pub where a group of tables large enough to fit the group waited. They must have reserved seats for us, Belle thought to herself as she moved to sit between Xander and Hunter. Cam took the opportunity to sit across from her next to Sensei Watanabe. A happy atmosphere settled around the group as they each took a menu to figure out their orders. As the group was browsing, a waiter with tan skin, chocolate curls pulled back at the nape of his neck, and dark eyes walked over with a large smile.
"Hello," he greeted the group.
"My name is Ezra and I'll be your waiter today. Can I get you started with something to drink?"
Everyone gave their drink orders and their waiter ducked away to put the orders in.
"Have you ever gone snowboarding or skiing before?" Belle asked the rangers, Cam, and Sensei Watanabe after everyone had their food orders ready.
"I have gone snowboarding before," Sensei Watanabe admitted with a small smile on his face.
All of the rangers and Cam turned to him in surprise at the news while Belle simply smiled.
"But it has been some time since I have done so."
"Dude, did you know that?" Dustin asked Cam with wide eyes.
All Cam did was give a shake of his head.
"Then we're glad that you could make the trip," Udonna told Sensei Watanabe.
"Do you think you are going to get a refresher before hitting the slopes?" Mama Luna followed with.
"I think so," Sensei Watanabe mused. "It is better to be safe than sorry."
The sorceresses and sorceresses-in-training all gave knowing nods to show that they also agreed. The rangers and Cam could only guess that the four agreed from past experience. Their food was quick to be delivered to their table and they all ate surrounded by smiles and laughter. Once they were finished with lunch, they all headed over to one of the gondola towers.
"Who's riding with who?" V asked the group of teens after the grown ups had split off for their own group.
Before anyone could say anything, Hunter and Xander volunteered themselves to join Belle.
"How many seats do the gondolas have?" Shane questioned.
"Four to each one," Clare offered.
"I'll take the last seat," Cam spoke up.
"That's one cab filled," V commented with a raised eyebrow.
For the other two gondolas were Shane, Blake, Dustin, and Tori with the other Chip, V, Clare, and Maddie. Belle's party was the first after the grown ups with the group with V right behind. As they were waiting in line, V edged forward so that she was right behind Belle who was at the back.
"Let's hope the boys don't fight the whole way to the bottom," V teased, leaning so that her lips were close to Belle's ear.
Besides the raising of one eyebrow, Belle gave now reaction to the jab.
"They try it and they'll see what happens," Belle said.
All V did was smile and laugh because she knew that Belle would be able to keep the boys in line. Well, Cam will behave, V thought to herself. Xander and Hunter on the other hand. After a few minutes of waiting, the four groups started loading onto the empty gondolas. When it was Belle's group's turn to get in their gondola, Belle and Cam sat on one side of the gondola while Hunter and Xander sat on the other.
"How long have you been coming here?" Cam asked when the gondola started moving.
"Ever since Mom and I moved to Briarwood," Belle mused.
"When I met my friends, they started coming with us."
"It really blew my mind when I first came here," Xander added.
"I was only six and the others had already been here before."
"Right, you said you came here during first grade," Hunter commented after remembering what was said during Thanksgiving break.
"Where did you move from?"
"Australia," Xander said.
"After eleven years, I still haven't been able to shake this accent."
"And there's nothing wrong with that," Belle said pointedly.
"You're right," Xander admitted before a smirk grew that showed his dimples.
"It really helps my perfect charm."
All Belle did was stare at him with a blank stare.
"You're ridiculous Xander."
In favor of changing the conversation, Belle turned her attention to the ground below.
"Down there we have the bunny slopes for beginners," Belle told Hunter and Cam.
"Once you guys get the hang of it, we can take you to the green circle slopes. If you're lucky, maybe we can get you to the blue square slopes before we head back home."
"How do the slopes rank?" Hunter questions upon hearing the two different slopes.
"Well, we have bunny slopes at the bottom that are easy for beginners who are just starting to learn. Then we have the green circle slopes that are still easy but are a little up in difficulty from the bunny slopes. After that are the blue square slopes that are intermediate that are for the average skier or snowboarder. Above that is the black diamond slopes that are difficult that I can only do if Mom or Aunt Udonna is with me. The most difficult are the double black diamond slopes that are very difficult. I only really see the experts or professionals attempting."
Now that Hunter knew the different levels, he was relieved that he might be able to be on Belle's level of snowboarding before leaving back to Blue Bay. As the group continued on their route, Belle pointed out different parts of the ski area. She also made sure to point out the different slopes so that they knew which areas to stay away from. When the group reached the top of the mountain, no one got off on the mountain so that they could go back down. However, when they got off the gondola, Belle and Xander broke away from Cam and Hunter. Instead, the other rangers and Sensei Watanabe came over to pick them up.
"Good luck with lessons," Belle wished her fellow rangers with two thumbs up.
"We'll see you later."
They all gave waves to Belle before they left for the bunny slopes.
"Let's meet up with the others and grab our boards," Xander suggested.
"Yes, let's," Belle agreed with a smile.
"I'm excited to hit these trails."
Xander gave a smile of his own and walked beside Belle back to the cabin.
While Belle was at the cabin, she also changed into her white snowsuit with a cream belt buckled around her middle, a white fur lined hood, and cream lining on the sides. On her feet went her thermal dark cream snow boots with white fur lining and white fur pom poms on the end of the laces. Her galaxy hair went up into a ponytail, white gloves were put on her hands, and as a final touch a pair of white googles was fitted to the top of her head. Xander himself dressed in black snow pants, an insulated green coat with dark grey and yellow accents, black snow boots, black gloves, a green hat over his ears and black goggles over said hat. Once they were dressed for the weather, they went to the side of the cabin where their gear was stored. When they arrived, everyone else save the rangers and Sensie Watanabe who were currently at the bunny slopes was also grabbing their gear. Udonna wore white head to toe in a snowsuit with a fur lined hood, boots, gloves, and white goggles. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail. Mama Luna was dressed in a silver snowsuit with white accents and a white fur lined hood, silver snow boots lined with white fur, white gloves, and a pair of white goggles over her hair put into a ponytail. Clare was dressed in a matching set of coat and snow pants that was mainly aqua with white and light purple accents, white snow boots, white gloves, a light purple hat, and white goggles over that. Chip wore a yellow coat with a black line down the zipper, black snow pants, black snow boots, black gloves, a yellow hat, and black goggles over that. Vida wore a matching snow pants and coat outfit with a white camo design, dark grey snow boots, white gloves, a black hat, and white goggles. Maddie wore a dark sky blue coat with pink and Eeyore blue accents, dark sky blue snow pants, white snow boots, white gloves, a dark sky blue hat, and white goggles.
"About time you two caught up," V sassed good-naturedly while she pulled out her pink snowboard with Chinese cloud designs on the bottom.
Belle simply rolled her eyes while Xander chose to ignore her so he could grab his green skis with the Slytherin crest on the bottom of each.
"Are the other boards and skis ready yet?" Belled asked her mom while she pulled her own snowboard out that had a galaxy on the bottom and white with white gold star clusters on the top.
"Yes, I was thinking of stopping by tomorrow morning."
"We should also stop so that they can get an outfit for the snow."
Mama Luna gave a hum to show that she understood.
"That sounds like a good idea," Udonna agreed. "Not everyone can handle the cold."
Belle gave a little snort at her aunt's words while Clare laughed.
"That was horrible Winter," Mama Luna pointed out.
Udonna gave a shrug before she took up her white skis and matching poles. Now that everyone had their gear, Udonna and Mama Luna led the group to the cluster of blue square slopes. They stopped on the top of the hill at the closest trail and suited up. Clare, Maddie, Xander, and Udonna all strapped on their skis while everyone else knuckles themselves into their snowboards.
"Race to the bottom?" Belle challenged her childhood friends and cousin once everyone was situated.
"You're on chica," V said without hesitation.
"I don't see why not," Xander added.
Maddie and Chip didn't say anything because they knew once the other three decided it was a challenge or competition, they knew that they wouldn't win. They were okay with that as long as everyone had fun. Clare herself didn't want to participate in the race, but would rather ski alongside Chip and Maddie. The adults simply watched over the kids and readied themselves to snowboard and ski behind them. The three who were participating in the race all lined up at the edge of the hill to ready themselves.
"On your mark," Clare began to give them a fair start count.
"Get set…Go!"
And like that the three took off with the other following leisurely behind them. V and Belle were leaning their way around obstacles while Xander was angling his legs to move around them. The others watched them so that, for one, they could make sure that they didn't get hurt, and for two, that they would be able to tell who was the winner. All three contestants were neck to neck as they flew down the trail, but in the end, Vida pulled ahead after hitting a small hill to get some air and speed on her side.
"And I win!" Vida cheered as she spun to a stop. "Take that you two!"
"Yeah, yeah," Belle said with a small smile and a roll of her eyes.
"We'll see about that for the next race."
A few beats later the rest of the group came to a stop beside the three.
"Good race you three," Mama Luna congratulated the three.
"Why don't we all go through the next couple of trails and then go meet the others for dinner."
Now that the competitive teenagers had gotten it out of their systems, they were looking forward to a slower pace. Udonna and Mama Luna then took the roles of leaders with Udonna taking up the front of the group while Mama Luna took up the rear of the group.
ooo0ooo
For the next couple of hours the group had a pleasant trip through the trails until the adults decided that it was time to head back towards the cabin. They had to stop to drop off their gear and switch into their clothes from earlier before setting out for the bunny slopes. When they got there, they saw that the group of beginners was just finishing up their lessons.
"Who is ready for dinner?" Mama Luna asked when she walked up to the group.
"I am," Dustin grinned after he had ruffled his thick brown hair.
"You're always hungry Dustin," Tori teased.
Now that the two separate groups were brought back together, Udonna and Mama Luna led the group towards town.
"Does anyone object to a steakhouse?" Udonna asked the rangers, Sensei Watanabe, and Cam.
Upon getting no negative feedback, the group entered a steakhouse where a reservation waited for them. Another large table was made for them and they sat down in the same places that they had sat for lunch.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll be preparing meals at the cabin," Mama Luna told the group after they had ordered their drinks.
"We wanted to give a day for all of us to settle in before we started cooking at the cabin.
Smiles grew on the faces of Hunter and Blake. While the food they ate at the restaurants were good, the two were excited for home cooked food. For a good few years, they almost survived solely on restaurant food or ready made food. To have home-made food now seemed like a luxury. Even the food they ate at Ninja Ops that Belle made seemed like too much. The others didn't have any objection to that.
"So we'll have to stop at the grocery store to grab some ingredients," Udonna continued.
"That's great," Belle grinned at the news.
"That means we can grab some warmer clothes for you guys."
The rangers plus Cam looked up at her words.
"But we have winter clothes," Shane refuted.
"Trust me, you'll need warmer clothes," Belle insisted.
"The cold here will creep up on you until you're freezing within twenty minutes."
While they had wanted to argue, they held back. Belle had been coming here for years now, so if she said they needed warmer clothes, they needed warmer clothes. Dinner didn't take longer than an hour, waiting for their food included, so the group decided to head off to the cluster of shops in the village. The first shop that they stopped at was a clothing store so that the newcomers could get some warm, insulated clothing. They all had fun looking through the racks of clothing with V, Maddie, and Belle coming to stand beside Tori and help her pick out an outfit. Tori found herself grateful for Belle for introducing V and Maddie to her. For as long as she could remember, she had only had male friends. This was the first time that she had female friends. She hadn't quite counted Belle for the fact that she had to be with the rangers due to the Lothor threat. An unconscious smile grew on Tori's lips as she held up a possible coat choice. Meanwhile, the boys were content to browse through the choices by themselves. Even Sensei Watanabe was happy looking through the clothing racks with Mama Luna chiming in to some choices. Once the group had their pants, coat, and boots, they were led over to the racks that had hats, gloves, and goggles. This time, Belle let V and Maddie look through choices with Tori and moved over to the other rangers. When she looked at the choice of clothing, she saw that they had all gotten clothing in the same color as their ranger suits minus Sensei Watanabe and Cam. A small smile quirked at Belle's lips as she went about watching the rangers pick out the last of their outfits.
"Does anyone notice the colors they chose?" Belle quipped so that her childhood friends couldn't hear.
When the rangers saw the colors, they looked surprised at the unconscious choices that they had made.
"How 'bout that?" Blake commented with a raised eyebrow.
"What happens if somebody doesn't like their color?" Dustin mused while eyeing his outfit.
"Maybe they have to get used to it," Belle suggested,
All the rangers plus Cam and Sensei Watanabe shared a smile at the conversation that confused Belle's childhood friends. They all shared a confused glance, but ultimately brushed it off. After paying for their outfits, the group moved over to a shop next door that sold snowboarding and skiing gear.
"What are we doing here?" Tori asked when she saw the sign of the shop.
"Think of it as my Christmas present to you all," Udonna said as she walked to the checkout counter.
"I am here for an order for Udonna."
"Ah," the employee said in recognition of the order name.
"They were just finished around lunch time. Wait a moment and I'll grab them from the back."
The rangers, Cam, and Sensei Watanabe stood in confusion as seven sets of gear was brought to the front. A maroon colored board with lightning on the bottom was passed over to Hunter, a navy colored board with lightning on the bottom was passed to Blake, a teal board with a teal-white-teal gradient on the bottom was passed to Tori, a gray board with a grayscale wood grain design on the bottom was passed to Sensei Watanabe, a light green board with the kanji for bushi on the bottom was passed to Cam, a red board with a bird silhouette inside a circle on the bottom was passed to Shane, and a yellow board with a mountain on the bottom was passed over to Dustin. They all looked over their gear in shock at the generosity of Udonna. They had thought that they would just rent the gear they needed for their stay.
"Thank you very much for this," Sensei Watanabe was the first to say with a bow of his head in gratitude.
The others were quick to follow his example to show their appreciation.
"Think nothing of it," Udonna insisted.
"You were all going to need it and you are all family now."
While the wind rangers, Cam, and Sensei Watanabe smiled, Hunter and Blake felt tears prick at their eyes. They had thought that the only family that they had were each other, but they were proved wrong. Not only had they gotten their fellow rangers as family, but they had also gained more family due to the warmth from Belle. They both shared a look that spoke volumes between the two before looking back at the rest of the group.
"Now that that's settled," Mama Luna said.
"Why don't you head back to the cabin for the night? You need to put your gear away and we have more than enough people to grab groceries."
No one had any objections to heading back as they could now feel how eventful the day was.
"I'll show them where to put their gear," Belle offered.
Udonna and Mama Luna gave a nod to show they heard her before Belle started leading the rangers, Cam, and Sensei Watanabe back to the cabin. When they got back, Belle showed them the little shed to the side where they could put their gear. Almost as soon as they entered the cabin, everyone broke apart for the night. Everyone but Belle went into their rooms while Belle waited for everyone else came back to help put groceries away before she too turned in for the night.

Ok, so I might just be able to get this chapter up before Christmas. I was hoping for more, but it is still hard trying to get through this chapter so that I can get on with the story. Nonetheless, I will keep going until I have this chapter finished. As for the next chapter, I am not sure when I will have that up, but I will work on it. I have to admit that this took some slow progress to be finished, but it's finished. I myself am not quite satisfied with how this chapter turned out, but it is what it is. What do you guys think about this chapter? Are you excited to see what else is going to happen during their brief holiday? I was planning on getting a New Years chapter out before New Years, but I am not sure if I will have it out in time. From the poll I had out before, the majority want me to write about Cam's visit to the past so I will do so. To be honest, I wanted to write this into the story, but I wasn't going to if everyone agreed that they didn't want to see it. I don't have anything else I want to say so I will sign off. If I don't post another chapter before Christmas or New Years, I wish you all happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Years. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave a review or shoot me pm. Remember, reviews are magic!
