Chapter 22

Learning to Relax

Tomorrow morning quickly came. I woke up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for another day. As I went about my daily routine in the morning, I thought about what I was going to do today. Today I was going to the lake to go hang with the Strauss siblings. To be honest, I was having some mixed emotions about this. Part of me wanted more than anything to go play with the siblings. I mean it had been days since I last played with them with the exception of Mira. However, another part of me thought that I should be spending my day training some more. After all, I had to figure out the training Tu Chi assigned to me so I could learn hers and maybe Finn's spells.

"I know Tu Chi told me to take a couple days off, but I should be focusing on training," I thought to myself. "I still need to figure out how to get past the training."

I finished brushing my teeth and then I was immersed in warm water as I took my bath. As I soaked into the water, I thought back to how I kept getting blasted by the different balls as they fell from the falls. I could well remember how much smoke I got on me and how irritating it was.

"I still can't figure it out," I muttered as I sat in the tub. "How am I supposed to hit ten balls in a row without hitting the ones that have that spell in it? Every time I try to destroy one and then try to move onto another one, I always end up either getting lucky or hitting another ball that has that explosion spell on it. It doesn't hurt very much, but still, it's so annoying being covered in soot. I wish Tu Chi or Finn would have given me a hint.

I sank into the water and let out a breath making bubbles.

"Maybe they did," I thought. "Maybe they already gave me a hint and I didn't pick up on it."

I thought back to yesterday thinking back to what Tu Chi and Finn said.

"... you're forgetting one of the most important things about training, resting. It's important to take a break after working hard in training. Resting can even help you find the answers to problems you never thought possible."

"That's what she said, but what does that even mean?" I thought.

Then I heard Finn calling me. "Hey, Willy! You almost done in there? You've been in there for a while."

"Yeah! I'm almost done!" I called. "I'll be out in just a second!"

I stood up and got out of the tub and dried myself off. I put on my necklace and got dressed. I wore a white t-shirt with blue shorts wearing a pair of sandals. As soon as I was ready and dressed, I followed Finn out the door and we both headed for the clinic.

Soon we came to the clinic and we were at the lake. Finn dropped me off and went about his work and then I went to go find the Strauss siblings. I walked around for a little while until eventually, I saw them walking with Sieri.

"Hey, guys! I'm here!" I called out as I ran towards them waving.

"Hey! Willy's here!" cheered Lisanna.

"Sorry if I'm late. Were you guys waiting long?"

"No. We just got here a few minutes ago," said Elfman.

I looked at Mira who was standing there looking silent and nervous.

"Hey, Mira? Is something the matter?" I asked. "You look nervous."

"Um... uh... nothing. I'm fine," she said. "Just fine."

I looked at Mira a little confused. Then Sieri cut in.

"Now that Willy's here, what do you all say you kids go and have some fun?" asked Sieri.

"Yeah!" said Elfman. "Let's all go swimming!"

"Sounds like a plan!" I said. "Let's do it!"

Feeling excited and raring to swim, I took off my shirt starting to take off my clothes. Starting off with my shirt, I started taking off my pants when Sieri once again stopped me.

"Willy! Don't strip right here again!" she cried.

"Oops. Sorry, I forgot," I said blushing. "I guess since I haven't done this in a while, I got too excited."

"Oh my Willy, you certainly are bold," said Lisanna her cheeks flushed a bright pink.

"Bold isn't a word I'd exactly go for," said Elfman.

"Now go on Willy. You and the kids go get dressed into your swimsuits and no stripping in public Willy!" said Sieri as she led us to the dressing rooms. Elfman and I headed to the boy's side and Lisanna and Mira headed for the right.

NO POV

"Well that was a close one eh Mira?" chuckled Lisanna as she got her swimsuit on. "We almost got to see Willy in his birthday suit."

"Wh-why would I care about that!?" said Mira. "Honestly Lisanna, you really have been hanging around with Sieri too much!"

Lisanna giggled. "It's so cute when you react like that." Then her face softened a little and she smiled. "You know... it's been a while since we've done this," she said softly. "I never would have thought that you'd do this Mira."

"Well... of course, I would," said Mira. "I know I've been busy with jobs, but I'd never pass up an opportunity to hang with you guys. You two are my brother and sister after all."

"And you have Willy as a friend," added Lisanna. "Your first friend at that."

"Wha... what are you talking about Lisanna?! I've had friends Lisanna!" said Mira. "I...just didn't have time for them due to doing jobs that's all!"

"Suuuure you did," said Lisanna in a mocking tone.

Mira glared. "Lisanna I'm getting really irritated with you with your teasing! If you don't knock it off, I'm gonna...!"

Then suddenly, they heard a voice call out outside of the dressing rooms which turned out to be Sieri.

"Hey, Mira! Lisanna! You kids almost done in there?"

"Yes! We'll be right out!" called Mira as she hurriedly got looked through for a swimsuit while Lisanna chuckled under her breath.

WILLY'S POV

Elfman and I had finished getting dressed and were waiting outside with Sieri waiting for the girls to finish getting dressed. I was feeling a little impatient for waiting.

"What's taking the girls so long?" I wondered.

"Yeah. They're sure taking their time aren't they?" said Elfman. "I hope nothing's wrong."

"Now, now boys," said Sieri. "All things come to those who wait as they say. Wait a little bit longer OK?"

Then finally Lisanna and Mira came out in their swimsuits. Lisanna was wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit with a small white bow. Mira, on the other hand, was wearing a one piece swimsuit as well, but hers was blue and had her hair tied in a ponytail. Lisanna looked happy and raring to go, but Mira was bright red in the face.

"Something the matter Sis?" asked Elfman. "You look embarrassed for some reason."

"Oh don't pay attention to her," said Lisanna. "So Willy, what do you think? Doesn't Mira look cute in this swimsuit?

"Lisanna!" whispered Mira.

I looked at Mira up and down looking at her swimsuit and I smiled.

"I think it looks great," I said. "It really suits you."

"Um...uh...Th-thank you..." said Mira her cheeks even redder. "You...really think so?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Blue is really your color."

"Well then now that you're all dressed up, you kids go ahead and have fun," said Sieri. "I'll be watching over you guys so if you need anything, feel free to call on me."

"We will."

And with that Sieri left. As soon as she was gone, we all went to the lake to swim. I took a running start and dove into the water with Elfman and Lisanna following suit. Mira watched from afar dipping her feet into the water watching us play. We decided to have some fun in a splash fight.

"Take this!" said Elfman as he splashed me and Lisanna.

"Oh yeah? Take that!" I laughed as I splashed him back.

"Come on Mira! Join in on the fun!" called Lisanna. "Don't be such a stick in the mud!"

"No thanks!" called Mira. "I'm just gonna stay here and watch."

"Awww come on Mira!" I said. "It's no fun if you're just sitting there! Besides, I could use some help here!"

"Haha! You're wide open!" said Elfman and he swung his arm around in the water and made a big wave. I dodged the wave, but because of me dodging it the wave ended up hitting Mira instead. Water splashed all over her. Mira sat there slightly shaking. All of us stared at Mira in fear that she would be mad.

"Oh my gosh! Sis! I'm so sorry!" said Elfman.

"You should be..." said Mira in a low voice. "Because now..." She looked up and she had a playful smile on her face. "I'm gonna get you for that Elfman!"

She leaped into the water and then joined the fray. From there the splash fight became a lot more fun. Thanks to Mira evening the odds, the splash war turned to our favor. After that, we had more fun playing in the water.

NO POV

As she went about doing her daily duties, Sieri took a peek at the kids every now and again to check on them. She could see them playing about in the water either splashing each other or swimming together and that made her smile.

"Looks like they're having fun huh?"

Sieri turned to the voice and she found Finn next to her.

"Yes," she said. "They seem so happy. Especially Mira."

"Yes. It's been a while since I've seen that kind of smile on her," mused Finn. "I must say it's refreshing seeing her so happy."

"Yes. It is," said Sieri smiling. "Now that I think about it... when was the last time you saw Mira and her siblings this happy?"

"I don't know. I do know that it was around the time before... you know..."

"Yeah. I can still remember that day."

Sieri certainly knew what Finn was talking about. She thought back to a couple of years ago back when Mira was a little younger. She was living happily with her mother and father living a peaceful life. Fast forward, she remembered hearing the news about her mom and dad and how saddened the siblings are.

Her smile then changed into a frown. "I wish I could have helped them," she said. "I wish I would have been there for her..."

"Now Sieri, let me stop you right there," interrupted Finn. "I can understand your feelings, but what happened, happened. No matter how much we want to wish to change what had happened, we can't."

"I know," said Sieri. "But... still..."

Finn placed a hand on Sieri's shoulder and looked at her reassuringly.

"There's a saying that Master told me back when a kid," continued Finn. "We can't change the past, but we can improve the future. And from where I'm standing thanks to Willy, the Strauss siblings' future is looking pretty bright. Don't you think?"

Sieri looked at Finn. Then her smile returned and she chuckled. "You always know just what to say don't you Finn? It's things like that that make a girl like me admire you. You've grown to be quite the mature man haven't you?"

"What are you talking about Sieri? I've always been mature. It... just took me a while to mature that's all."

"Whatever you say, Finn."

WILLY'S POV

I'm not sure how long we played in the water, but I'm pretty sure it was quite a while. Personally, I didn't care. I was having way too much fun. I can't even remember the last time I had such fun. Swimming was cool on your own, but when you had people and friends around it was much more fun.

We continued with the splash fights Mira and I going against Elfman and Lisanna. Then we swimming races with Lisanna on the sidelines cheering us on. After that, we swam beneath the water and checked out all the life that was underwater. The lake wasn't splendid like the ocean, but it had a lot of creatures and other things swimming here and there at the bottom.

After we did all of that it soon became evening. Mira and I took a little break while Elfman and Lisanna played in the water some more.

"I wonder where they get all that energy," chuckled Mira as she sat next to me.

"Who knows?" I replied smiling. "They're your siblings after all."

Mira chuckled then she turned to me smiling. "You know... I had a lot of fun today," she said. "I really did."

"Yeah. Me too," I said.

"Would you believe me if I told you that this was the first time in a while that I've done something fun?"

"No. Really?"

"Yup. I've been so busy taking jobs and making jewel that I hardly had any time to play with Lisanna and Elfman. I always felt bad and I constantly worried about them because they didn't make many friends."

"What about Sieri?" I asked. "She seems like a good friend to you guys. Not to mention Finn too."

"I mean friends that are pretty close to their age silly," said Mira. "Which is why I'm glad they met you as did I. I don't know if I told you enough times Willy, but... thank you. Thank you so much for being there for my brother and sister and for...you know saving me. I really appreciate it."

Mira looked at and gave me a toothless smile. I blushed a little bit smiling back at her.

"It's no big deal," I said. "I'm glad to help out. Besides, I'm sure you or anyone else would have done the same thing if I was in trouble."

"So... Willy what have you been up to for the past few days?" Mira asked. "Lisanna and Elfman were wondering where you were."

"Oh yeah. Sorry about that. That's because I've been busy training," I replied.

"Training?"

Then I explained to Mira how I have been training for the past few days and what type of training I did.

"So that's it," said Mira as I finished explaining. "This Tu Chi person has been training you. That explains the soot I saw on your cheek the other day."

"Yeah... sorry about that," I said. "Anyway, that's why I haven't been seeing Elfman and Lisanna lately. Although on the plus side, Tu Chi's letting me have a couple days off so at least there's that. However... the training is still bugging me for some reason."

"What do you mean?" asked Mira.

"Well you see, I have to hit ten balls in a row without hitting one rigged with explosion magic. If I do I have to start over," I said. "Like I said Tu Chi told me to take the day off because she said that rest can help me solve my training. The problem is how. I know rest is important, but still..."

"Hmmm..." hummed Mira thoughtfully. "Well... it seems to me that Tu Chi's got the right idea if you want my opinion. In a way, I think I can relate."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I know I take jobs all the time, but I try to relax whenever I can," said Mira. "When I have a problem I take my time and eventually I figure it out and that's what you should do too. As my mom always says, Fiore wasn't built in a day."

"What was your Mama like?" I asked.

"She was an incredible person," said Mira. "Along with my father, she was one of the best mothers you could ever ask for. She taught me how to cook, she played with me, Lisanna, and Elfman, and she was always a hard worker. Yeah back when I was a girl my mom was the best in the world. You know...before she..."

Mira trailed off looking a little depressed upon remembering her mother. I felt kinda bad for bringing up her mother so I quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry about that," I said. "I didn't mean to bring up painful memories."

"It's OK," she said. "I don't mind. It still is painful to remember, but I'm proud to have a mom like her. Sure she's gone, but she's still with me in my heart. Hehe. It's a lame cliche isn't?"

"Not really," I said. "You know my Mama told me something like that. She told me that we are not always with our Mama's but they'll always be with us. In this way, we're never apart for we are a part of each other."

"Wow... That's pretty deep Willy," said Mira. "You know for a kid like you, you're pretty wise for your age."

"Hehe. You're a kid too Mira. I mean you're the same age as me right?"

"Hey. I'm thirteen! Technically that makes me a teenager, not a kid."

"You're thirteen?" I looked at her a little surprised. "I guess that makes you my senior then. I'm twelve."

"Oh. So that makes you Elfman's age," said Mira. "And yes that also makes you my senior, so you better treat me with respect got it?"

"Yes, of course, Ms. Mira!" I said.

"Gah... I was just kidding," said Mira looking away. "Please just call me Mira OK?"

"Oh. OK, Mira."

And so we turned back to watching Lisanna and Elfman playing in the water playing some kind of strange game. Elfman would go underwater and then Lisanna would try and guess what Elfman was saying while he was underwater. Then Lisanna would do the same thing and Elfman took his turn guessing. Neither of them could tell what they were saying, but they were having fun anyway.

"Hey, Willy! Mira! Come on back and play with us some more!" called Lisanna.

"Yeah! It's getting kinda lonely!" called Elfman.

"Hold on you two!" called Mira back. "We'll will be right there!"

"What kind of game are those two playing anyway?" I asked. "Some kind of holding your breath game?"

"I don't even know myself," said Mira. "It's some kind of game those two invented. All I know is that the object of the game is to guess what the person that's underwater is saying. Lisanna loves playing that game with Elfman. Although I don't even know what the point is considering how they can't even hear each other beneath the water."

"Oh really?" I asked.

I looked over at Elfman and Lisanna playing their game then I got curious. What if there was a way to hear them? That was when I had an idea. I closed my eyes and you used my ability to sense the current in the water. At first, I could only sense the waves, but then I felt vibrations in the water. Curious as to what those were, I focused on those vibrations and then I could hear what Elfman was saying.

"The monkey jumped and broke his head!" I heard him say.

"Just now Elfman just said 'The monkey jumped and broke his head,' " I told Mira.

"Seriously? You gotta be bluffing," said Mira skeptically.

"No. Really. I heard him," I said. "I used the current in the water to sense the vibrations when Elfman talked. My Mama did teach me how to sense currents after all."

"Prove it," said Mira.

"All right," I said. "Hey! Elfman!"

Elfman's head came out from underneath the water just as soon as I called him. "Yeah? What's up, Willy?"

"What did you say in the water just now?" I asked him. "Be honest."

"I said The monkey jumped and broke his head," replied Elfman.

"Dang it!" said Lisanna. "I thought for sure you said something else."

Mira looked at me in surprise while I smiled in an 'I told you so' grin.

"No way... you were right?" she murmured.

"What's wrong Mira?" asked Lisanna as she came out of the water up to us.

"You know that game you and Elfman were playing? Well Willy here told me what Elfman just said underwater," said Mira. "But I'm a little skeptical."

"Is that true Willy?" asked Elfman who now came up as well.

"Yes, I did. Like I told Mira I was able to tell what you were saying by sensing the vibrations in the water," I said. "After all, I was caught to sense currents thanks to Aquadia."

"Oh really? Let's put it to the test shall we?" replied Lisanna stepping back into the water. "Willy, I'm gonna say something underwater and you tell me what I said got it?"

"Got it."

And with that, Lisanna dove into the water and I closed my eyes and concentrated. I did what I had done before and focused on the vibrations I felt in the water. Then after babbling something in the water a few seconds, Lisanna came back up.

"All right Willy. What did I just say underwater just now?"

"You said, hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle and the fish jumped over the wall," I replied.

"That's... that's exactly right."

All three of the siblings stared at me then Elfman entered the water.

"Let me try," he said as he plunged into the water.

He once more babbled something into the water and I sensed the vibrations from under the water. Soon he came back up.

"OK. What did I say that time?" he asked.

"You mostly just babbled," I replied. "You weren't even using words. Just babbling."

"R-right again," said Elfman a little baffled.

"All right Willy," said Lisanna. "Try this one!"

She dove beneath the surface and said something underwater. This time I heard Lisanna say this:

"Mira has a big crush on Willy and she wants to be his girlfriend!"

When she resurfaced I looked at her a little puzzled while she had a big and teasing grin on her face.

"All right Willy. What did I say this time?" she asked smiling.

"Something about Mira having a huge crush on me and wanting to be my girlfriend?" I replied.

"What?!"

Mira immediately blushed a beet shade of red and glared at Lisanna. While Elfman and I stood back a little bit.

"Lisanna! How many times do I have to tell you not to joke like that!?" she cried.

"Sorry, Mira. I couldn't resist," giggled Lisanna. Then she turned to me. "That's pretty incredible Willy!"

"Yeah. You're even more awesome than before," added Elfman.

"I don't know about that," I said blushing. "I... was just doing what I was taught."

"Well whatever you were taught, it's quite the talent," said Mira. "Your Mom taught you a pretty neat trick."

"Come on! Let's play it some more!" said Lisanna. "I wanna test Willy some more! Please, Willy? Will you play?"

I smiled. "Sure. Why not? It sounds like a lot of fun."

And so we played the game for a little while. Pretty soon, I heard Finn call out to me.

"Willy! It's time to head home!"

I turned around and I saw Finn and Sieri with Finn waving to me. We all got out of the lake and walked up to Finn and Sieri.

"Sounds like you kids are having a lot of fun," said Finn as he came up to us along with Sieri. "But now it's time to head home Willy. It's getting late."

"Aww... but we wanna play just a little longer," complained Lisanna.

"Now come on Lisanna. You know that it's getting close to dinnertime," said Mira. "We can play with Willy tomorrow."

"Oh OK..." said Lisanna puffing her cheeks.

"Good girl," said Mira patting her head. "Now come on you two. Let's go get dressed."

"OK," they both replied as the three of them headed for the dressing rooms.

"What a good sister," said Sieri. "Someone would probably mistake her for being their mother."

"You got that right," said Finn. "You have fun today Willy?"

"I sure did," I replied. "We had a lot of fun. I even got to join in a game Lisanna and Elfman made up."

"Hehe. I can see that," said Finn. "It looked like you had fun playing that game."

"To be honest, I had fun and all but I would much rather try and figure out how to get past that training," I replied.

"I know but remember what Tu Chi told you," said Finn. "Besides... I think you already have an idea of how you should get past it. In fact, I believe that you were already pretty much training."

"I have?" I pondered. "How's that?"

"Sorry. I can't say," said Finn. "You have to figure it out for yourself. Until then, go get dressed. We gotta head home and eat dinner."

"Can we walk Mira and the others home?" I asked.

"Sure."

I smiled as went to the dressing room to change.

After that, I changed into my normal clothes and Me, Finn, and Sieri all walked home together. Lisanna and Elfman talked about how much fun they had today while me, Mira, and Finn walked next to them. As we walked, I pondered over what Finn said to me before.

"I wonder what he meant," I thought. "I was already training? But how was I?"

"Hey, Willy? You're deep in thought again," said Mira. "What's up? Still thinking about your training?"

"Yeah. Sorry Mira," I said. "I was just thinking. Finn told me that I was already training, but I don't know what he meant."

"Well... we did do a lot of swimming so I guess that counts as exercise," said Mira. "But based on from your body, I don't think that's what Finn meant."

"I know," I said. "I wish I knew what he meant. Man... I'm starting to want to train again..."

"Easy Train-o-holic. Remember you got plenty of time to figure it out, so take your time," said Mira patting my shoulder.

"I know."

A little later as we walked along, Sieri left to her place and we soon dropped off the Strauss siblings. After that, we walked back and were soon home. We ate dinner and we both started to get ready for bed. I was sitting in the tub letting the water relax my body. As I washed my body I let my mind wander. I mostly had the training on my mind. I tried to shake it out of my head, but it kept on resurfacing in my mind.

"Geez... come on Willy. Stop thinking about training and relax a little," I said to myself as I rinsed myself off. "Then again, maybe if I soak in the tub I'll relax and come up with an idea."

As soon as I was rinsed off, I stepped into the tub and let out a contented sigh as the warm water washed over me. Swimming in the lake was cool (literally), but nothing compares than a warm bath. As I soaked in the tub, I left my mind drift away and relaxed. I relaxed so much that I started to feel a little sleepy. Eventually, even though I didn't realize it at the time, I fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an endless ocean again. Something I was all too familiar with. Then I heard something. Something strange rippling throughout the space I was in.

"This place..." I said as I looked around. "I... I've been here before.

Then heard a noise. It sounded like something was vibrating. Then I heard a voice that sounded feminine. It was a voice that I knew anywhere in the world.

Willy... Willy...

"Mama?" I called out. "Mama? Where are you?"

"Listen to me, Willy... You must...focus on the vibrations...focus on the vibrations by sensing and focus your magic on your hand...do it now..."

At first, I didn't know what the heck was going on, but then I did what I was told. I closed my eyes and listened deeply to the vibrations. I focused my magic power and also sensed the vibrations, but heard nothing. Nothing but vibrations. The voice came again.

"Focus... focus on the vibrations... use your magic power to sense the vibrations and feel it...remember back to when you were playing with your friends..."

"Wait! How do you know about my friends?" I demanded opening my eyes. "Mama! Answer me!

"Just trust me Willy... use your current sensing ability and focus your magic power in your hand and focus...do it..."

I wanted to know what was going on and why my Mama wasn't answering me, but I raised my hand and used my current sensing and added some magic power to my right hand. This time with a little more power. This time, the vibrations started to die down and I started to feel something. Something that felt like water, but it had something mixed inside it. Something that felt warm and bright. Then I began to see something in my head. I could see a blue ball of light floating around a few feet behind me.

"This feeling..." I thought. "I felt this before."

I opened my eyes and turned around and I saw it. From my dream before, there was a murky cloud with glowing yellow eyes.

"What you're feeling is magic power as well as the water, in other words, The Aqua Sense...don't forget this feeling. If you do this with the help of your friends when you play... you will master what you seek..."

At first, I had no idea what she meant, but then I suddenly remembered. Back when I was playing with Lisanna and Elfman with their game when I sensed their voices and vibrations in the water. I also thought about my training and that's when it hit me. This was it! This was the way to pass my training. Playing that game with Lisanna and Elfman was the key!

Then suddenly the murky cloud began to disperse and then I felt a powerful current blast me forcing me back and away from the water.

"Mama! Mama! Is that you?! Wait!"

I tried to swim towards her, but the current was too strong and the murky cloud disappeared. I once again swept away by the current and I lost conscious.

My eyes snapped open and I found myself under the water of the tub. I opened my mouth to gasp, but water filled my mouth making me sit up immediately. I coughed getting the water out of my mouth. After clearing my throat and getting my breathing in order.

"What... was that just now...?" I said to myself.

Then I heard Finn. "Willy? Are you OK in there?"

"I-i'm fine Finn!" I called. "I...just kinda dozed off a bit. I'll be right out!"

"All right. Just don't stay in there too long. You may be a water magic user, but you can overheat from the bath!" called Finn.

"Okay!"

I then got out of the tub and dried myself off and exited the bath not wanting Finn to worry. As I got out of the bath, I didn't notice that my necklace was glowing again, but the light quickly faded as I left the bathroom.

After that, I got ready for bed and was lying in bed trying to close my eyes and trying to get to sleep. As I did, I thought about what I had just dreamt about. It was almost like the same dream back when I first found out about Aquadia disappearing. Not only that, but I was given a strange hint about my training. It not only helped me a little, but it also left me with a lot of questions. Like who that cloud was. I assumed it was my Mama Aqaudia, but at the same time for some reason, I felt like it wasn't.

"Just what the heck was that?" I wondered. "Who was that? And why did that thing know about me playing with the Strauss siblings?"

I turned to my side still deep in thought, but then I quickly put it out of my mind. I finally had an idea of what to do for the training now. Or at least I had a way to practice. It seems Finn's and Tu Chi's words were right after all.

"One thing's for sure," I thought. "I'm definitely gonna be playing with Mira and the others again. After all, I gotta relax and play hard and I'm gonna do my best too!"

And after giving myself a determined fist pump, I went to sleep eager for tomorrow.

Sorry for the wait guys. Had to do a lot of thinking and go through a lot of stuff, but I'm glad I got this up now.
