A/N Since I've been writing the chapters fast, I've been uploading them both on the same day, but I can't guarantee that that will last. For full Author's Note, please see the original upload on AO3. Happy reading!

The next morning the trio woke to the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"It's open." Gohan muttered in his sleep, turning over.

The door pushed open and Pigero poked his head in the door. "Good morning guys. Sahir? Your grandma is here to pick you up."

Sahir groaned, rolling over to sit up. He was hoping it would be for Gohan and Dende so he could sleep more, but maybe he could sleep in the car. "I'll be out in five minutes." He announced.

When the door closed, he slipped on his glasses and yawned. He wasn't changing, so all he had to do was use the restroom, grab his bags, and go. He pulled his covers back and hopped out of his bed, landing right on top of the sleeping Gohan.

Gohan yelled in surprise, shifting his body to push his roommate off of him. Sahir went toppling over into the desk across from him, hitting his head against the chair. Both of them laid on the ground groaning in pain.

Dende peaked over from Gohan's bed. "Are you two alright?"

Gohan sat up, groaning at his aching back. It already hurt from sleeping on the floor, but having it stepped on didn't help. "Sahir broke my back." He mumbled.

Sahir pulled himself up, and held his head. He pulled his hand away, and saw his hand covered in blood. "Gohan put a dent in my head." He muttered. He could feel the headache coming on already. Hopefully he didn't have a concussion, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep on the trip home.

Gohan looked at his roommate with disdain "I told you not to step on me." He complained.

Sahir held his hand up in annoyance. "Don't start. I couldn't pee the entire night because of you."

"Well waking up with a sore back wasn't how I wanted to start my day."

"Um, I think my forehead being split open beats a sore back, brother."

With a sigh, Gohan looked up at Dende. "Dende could you..?" He tapped at his head for reference.

"Sahir, could you look up please?"

Sahir looked up at Dende, and before he could reply, he placed his hand atop his head.

Sahir could feel the warmth from Dende's hand when he touched him, and soon, his headache was gone. Sahir touched his forehead, no longer feeling the wound. He stepped over Gohan and pulled his wardrobe door open to look in the mirror. Just as he thought, his wound was completely healed. "Amazing." He said before thinking for a moment. "So, when Gohan said you couldn't heal Angela the other night, this is what you tried to do?" He asked.

Dende looked away as he once again thought back to that night. "Yes, but I knew it was too late. There was nothing I could do." He said quietly.

Sahir nodded in understanding. "Well, I appreciate it working for me. Thank you."

Dende nodded in reply. "Gohan? Do you need help with your back?"

He shook his head. "No, I'll just stretch. I should be fine."

Sahir grabbed his toothbrush and towel. "Well stretch your back by taking my suitcase to the lobby. I've got a full bladder."

…

Baba tapped against her crystal ball impatiently, smiling when she saw Sahir come down the hallway. "There he is. It's about time you came out. Don't you know it's rude to keep a woman waiting?"

"Sorry Baba, I had a bit of a situation back in my room. How are you?" He asked before greeting her with kisses to her cheeks.

"Fine now that I'm done waiting. Besides," Baba reached out to pinch his cheeks. "I could never stay mad at someone as cute as you. How has school been, bubala?"

As much as he hated having his cheeks pinched by Baba, it was nice to have her do it again. He somewhat missed it. It made him feel home already. "It's been fine, just ready to go home to see my father."

"Well let's make haste. We've got a long trip ahead of us." She spoke floating towards the door.

Sahir seemed a bit confused as he picked up his suitcase his roommate brought out for him. He pushed the door open for her and followed her out. "Are we taking your crystal ball?" He knew it was her mode of transportation but surely they couldn't both fit on it.

Baba laughed. "Oh heavens no. I brought my car in a DynoCap. Popped it earlier to save us a spot." She said pointing at the pink, soft top hovercar parked in front of the dorm.

"Oh, I didn't know you drove."

"I don't, you are."

Sahir stopped at her comment. "Baba, I don't have a license."

Baba looked back at him as she continued gliding towards her car. "Don't be silly, it's in your pocket."

Hesitantly, Sahir reached down in his pajama pants and pulled out a full legal license in his name. He'd be surprised if he wasn't used to Baba's magical antics. He just didn't know how he was going to explain this to his father. Sahir tucked the license back in his pocket and ran after Baba. He loaded the suitcase in the car, and opened the door for Baba before he went around to climb in the driver's seat.

"I'm sure you've practiced before."

He turned the keys over in the ignition. "We can't afford lessons Baba."

Baba grabbed her pack of cigarettes from the glovebox, needing one to calm her nerves. "Well there's a first time for everything." She tucked the stick between her lips. "Just don't kill us." She mumbled and lit the cigarette with the tip of her finger.

"I'll try." He muttered and started his journey home.

Dende zipped up his suitcase, finally finished packing. It wouldn't be long before Gohan's ride would be here.

Gohan grabbed his suitcase. "Do you need anything else?"

Dende grabbed a bottle of water from the side of his desk. "No, I should have everything."

Gohan nodded and headed out of his room holding the door open for him. "Bulma should be here soon. We can wait in the lobby until she comes." His room was already cleaned and his suitcase was outside his room. Instead of dreading the feeling of going home, Gohan was almost excited. He missed his parents and brother, and they were all looking forward to meeting Dende. His mother just seemed relieved that it wasn't a girl.

Dende walked out of his room, looking over it once more before locking it behind them. The exhaustion was starting to catch up to him. He could feel how tired his body was, but he still wasn't able to sleep. The nightmares continued to keep him up, and thought he was better off staying up. So he stayed up until his body couldn't fight the exhaustion, doze off, and wake up from a nightmare. The cycle was vicious and exhausting.

Gohan led them down to the lobby. "You okay? You seem quiet."

"Tired."

"Still no sleep?"

"Not good sleep."

Gohan picked up his suitcase on the way down to the lobby. "Well you've got plenty of time to work on getting sleep this week. You're gonna love Mount Paozu. It's super quiet, and really peaceful. You'll be asleep in no time."

As promising as it sounded, he hoped it was true. Gohan sat in the lobby and Dende sat next to him. "Did you bring the tea Sharpner gave you? My mom can brew you a cup tonight before bed."

"It's in my suitcase. I'll have a cup before bed. It should help."

From outside the dorm building the two could hear a large vehicle hovering loudly in the courtyard. "That sounds like Bulma." Gohan said standing up. He collected both of the bags and headed towards the door. Soon a familiar little face came running in and hugging Gohan as soon as he saw him. "Gohan! I bet you weren't expecting me."

Gohan laughed at the sight of his little purple haired friend. He kneeled down to hug him properly. "No I wasn't. How goes it Trunks? Keeping your mom company for our trip?"

"Yeah, and I wanted to make Goten jealous by telling him I saw you first." He said with a smirk.

He shook his head. "He'll be jealous alright, but happy to see his best friend." He stood up to introduce Dende. "Speaking of best friends, Trunks, this is Dende. Dende, this is Trunks, Bulma's son."

Dende managed a smile. "Nice to meet you." He said holding his hand out.

Trunks took in Dende slowly. "Woah. Gohan, is everybody else here as tall as your friend?" He asked, shaking his hand.

Dende's forced smile turned into a genuine one. "I'm one of the tallest students here. Would you believe they gave me the shortest student to be my roommate?"

Trunks' eyes widened. "You're joking."

"I wish I was."

"So he's shorter than me, but as old as you?"

Dende nodded.

"That's insane! I gotta meet him."

"You might meet him one day. Here Trunks, grab a suitcase so we can head out." Gohan said, grabbing Dende's suitcase and exiting the lobby.

Dende walked out when Gohan held the door for him. He looked out in the courtyard noticing what the loud hovering noise was outside. It was a VTOL plane sitting in the middle of the courtyard. Dende was more than surprised. He's never flown in a plane, let alone a plane as big as this one. Dende had been so distracted by the sight of the plane he hadn't noticed that Trunks was asking him more questions.

"Hey Trunks? Dende's had a rough couple of days, so you may want to ease up on the questions, okay?"

"Oh, sorry. I'll save my yapping for you then." He said as they approached the open door.

The three boarded the ship where they were greeted by a blue haired woman. "Hi Gohan, hi Gohan's friend. How are you two?"

"Hey Bulma, this is Dende. Dende, this is our family friend Bulma. He'll be staying with me for break."

Bulma smiled at the two. "Oh how sweet of you to bring a friend for a break. I'm sure your mother is just relieved it's not a girl." She said with a giggle.

"You would be right."

Bulma began closing the door of the plane. "Well let's get you two over to Mount Paozu. I'm sure you're dying to start your extended break. Dende, have you ever been on a plane before? You look nervous."

"This is my first time, but I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine."

"Okay well you're going to want to strap in for take off, and once we reach cruising altitude you'll be fine."

Trunks sat in the front seat next to his mother and the pair sat in the available seats in the back. They all strapped in. Bulma turned over the engine and it roared to life. Slowly they started to lift off the ground, and soon they were in the air. Dende had seemed fine for take off, though he was holding Gohan's hand a little tighter than normal. Gohan didn't seem to mind, he tried his best to comfort him by stroking his hand with his thumb.

Once they were at a cruising altitude, Trunks took off his seatbelt and ran to the back to continue chatting with Gohan.

"One second Trunks. There's a bed if you want to lay down Dende. Do you want to try to rest?"

"Yes please."

"I'll help you!" Trunks offered running to the back. Dende followed Trunks. Trunks unlocked a long compartment door, and pulled out a standard sized bed, already made with a blanket and pillow. "Here ya go. The VTOL flies really smoothly so you should be able to sleep just fine."

Dende nodded at the words and laid down onto the soft bed. "Thank you for your help Trunks."

"No prob. I'll keep your seat warm while you're asleep." With that he ran back to the seat next to Gohan to continue their conversation.

Dende's body settled against the bed, and soon he fell asleep to the sound of Gohan's quiet voice.

.

.

.

Two hours passed, and Dende was finally able to sleep peacefully. The white noise of the plane combined with Gohan's voice nearby helped him catch up on the sleep he lost. It wasn't enough, as he still needed hours more to feel better, but it was a start. Gohan gently shook him awake when they were nearing their destination. "We're getting ready to land soon, but we're in Mount Paozu if you want to look out the window."

Dende pulled himself up from the bed and looked out of one of the circular windows. The sight was breathtaking. Soft curved mountaintops covered in lush green grass, mile high pine trees, bright blue bodies of water, and crystal clear waterfalls. He couldn't believe Gohan had been surrounded by this his entire life, it was ethereal. "This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen." He commented quietly.

"Yeah, it's home." Gohan replied just as quietly.

"Everyone strap in. We're getting ready to land." Bulma warned.

The three took heed and began strapping themselves in.

Slowly, Bulma began descending down towards Gohan's home, landing in the open field. Soon they were planted firmly and Bulma turned the airship off.

Dende followed behind Gohan quietly off the ship and to his small home, which seemed to have a small hut connected next to it. Before Gohan could knock on the door, it already came open with his mother greeting him with hugs and kisses. "Gohan! It's so wonderful to have you home! I've missed you so much!" She greeted happily.

"I wanna hug Gohan too mom!" Said another child, trying to push his way in between the pair.

Gohan managed to pull away from his mother to pick up his little brother. "It's good to be home, mom. I missed you too. Goten, how has your learning coming along?" He asked.

Goten hugged his brother tightly. "I've been doing good! I can spell my name without having any of the letters backwards!"

Gohan rolled his eyes. "Well it's better than nothing." He muttered, putting him down. "Where's dad?"

"He's training in Dragon Rock, but he knows you're home. He should be home soon."

With a nod Gohan grabbed Dende's hand pulling him close to introduce him. "Mom, this is my friend Dende. His last few days at school weren't the best, so try not to be so overbearing, please?" He warned cautiously.

Dende bowed respectfully. "It's nice to finally meet you Mrs. Son. Thank you for allowing me to stay in your home."

Gohan's mother smiled at Gohan's polite friend. "Chi-Chi is fine if you're more comfortable with it. We're happy to have you Dende. I'm glad Gohan has found respectable friends to surround himself with at school."

"Gohan is wonderful to be around as well. He's very respectable himself, and extremely sweet to me. You've raised a very lovely boy." Dende replied, looking over at Gohan.

Gohan found himself blushing at the comment. He hoped no one noticed.

"Ew Gohan, are you blushing? You're such a baby!" Goten teased.

Gohan's embarrassed blush became a flushed face of anger when his brother teased him. "Why don't you make yourself useful and take a bag in the house?" He said and shoved his suitcase forward to his brother, knocking him over.

"Mom! Gohan pushed me down with the bag!" Goten whined pulling himself up.

"I didn't push you down, the bag did." Gohan said, stepping over his brother and into the house. "Who's the baby now?" He muttered.

…

After introductions, Bulma and Trunks staying for lunch, and settling in from travel, Gohan showed Dende where he would be staying. He pushed his grandpa's hut door open, allowing him to walk inside. "My mom said she cleaned up the hut for you to stay in. I brought your bag in for you already. It has a bathroom and everything for you, so you should be comfortable."

Dende nodded as he looked around the cozy hut. A well made bed, dressers for storage, a closed off bathroom, and an altar near the back of the room. "It's perfect. Thank you." He said approaching the altar. He looked at the family photos that sat there neatly, the incense holder that sat in front of the altar, and the offering that sat in the center. "Gohan, what's this?" He asked, pointing at the offering.

"Oh that? That's my Granddad's. It was his most prized possession. My dad believes it holds my grandpa's spirit. He pays his respects to it everyday. He thinks it holds good fortune for our family."

Dende observed the orange glass ball with four small red stars on it. It was beautiful, and oddly familiar. "Gohan, this is a star orb." He concluded.

Gohan shrugged. "My dad calls it a Dragonball. You think they're the same thing?"

Dende carefully picked up the ball to observe it closer. "A Dragonball." He repeated quietly as he held the orb.

"Dende my parents will flip if they see you holding it. Could you—" Gohan stopped his warning when he saw the ball glow gently in Dende's hands. It was amazing, and beautiful to witness. "I've never seen it do that before."

"I can't remember the verse off the top of my head, but these are described in the Book of Kami. 'Small orange orbs numbered by stars. Seven in total, and scattered across the world…I can't remember the rest." It made him wish he still had his book with him.

"'Should someone find the seven orbs, and reunite them, they may call the Eternal Dragon to wish for whatever is in its power.'" Gohan finished.

"Out of everything I thought to be true in the Book of Kami, I didn't believe the star orbs were real. But if this is real…" Dende trailed off.

"Then there are six more scattered across the world." Gohan finished.

"We have to find them."

Gohan sighed. "Dende—"

"If you're only going to plague me with doubt then I'd rather not hear it." He spoke, setting the ball back on the altar.

"Come on Dende, be serious. We don't even know where to start looking for these things. We don't have a map. There's nothing in the Book of Kami about their recent locations. And even if we did have an idea of where they are, it's not exactly going to be a walk in the park. Scattered across the world? That could take months and we don't have months to spare looking for them. We barely have two weeks."

Dende sighed. He didn't want Gohan to be right, but he was. "Okay fine, maybe this isn't an easy task, but surely it has to be doable. I'm just not sure how it's doable yet."

"Maybe if we had an idea of where they are, or how to find them, that would take the pressure off."

Dende tried to think of a solution but he was drawing a blank. "I feel like how to find them is in the Book of Kami, but I've been so lost without my book. I feel like I can't recall a single thing."

Gohan put a hand on his shoulder. "It's just stress and lack of sleep. I'm sure if you rest you'll be able to concentrate better. In the meantime, don't worry about it. We at least know they're out there."

Dende nodded at his reassuring words. "Okay, we will come back to the theory after proper rest. Thank you for not thinking I was crazy about this."

Gohan shrugged. "I technically didn't say you weren't. Honestly I didn't even say I believed you."

Dende shook his head. "Son Gohan, I've come to find out that you can be quite…"

"Charming?"

"Irritating."

.

Later on in the evening, shortly before dinner, the front door opened and in came another man.

"Dad!" Goten greeted running up to him.

"Hey Goten, dinner almost ready?" He asked.

"Goku! Your son is here for break and all you can think about is food!" Chi-Chi scolded from the kitchen.

Goku smiled, coming over to the dining room table to greet his oldest son. "Oh yeah, I forgot Gohan was coming home today. If I remembered, I would have come home earlier." He ruffled his oldest hair in greeting. "How are ya son? Been training in school?"

Gohan smiled at the personal greeting, and looked up at his father. "Hey dad, I've been good. And yes, I've been training, I'm in a Martial Arts Club."

"How cool, you look stronger too. Who's your friend?" He asked, glancing over at Dende.

"This is Dende, he's staying over for break. Dende this is my Dad."

Gohan's father put his hand out. "Nice to meet you Dende, I'm Son Goku."

Dende shook his hand. "It's a pleasure meeting you Mr. Son, thank you for—ahhh…" He started but started to groan in pain at the more-than-firm handshake he offered.

Goku pulled his hand away. "Oh sorry, did I shake too hard? I didn't mean to." He spoke sincerely.

Dende tried shaking off the pain in his hand. "It's fine, honestly. My hands are just a bit sensitive is all."

Gohan took his hand in his, assessing for any bruising. His father could be careless about his strength to unsuspecting people. He didn't want Dende hurt at all. "Are you sure you're okay?" He quietly asked, massaging his hand gently.

Dende's hand relaxed in his, although the massage wasn't needed, it helped. "I said I'm fine, Gohan. Stop worrying." He replied just as quietly.

Chi-Chi observed the interaction between the two. "Dinner will be ready soon. Dende, are you allergic to anything? Or would you like something special made?"

"I'm not allergic to anything, I just don't eat much. Dinner smells amazing, and I'm happy to stay at the table for dinner, but I've been having trouble sleeping. A friend offered a tea blend to help me sleep, may I have it brewed please?"

Chi-Chi nodded. "Sure I've got some water already in the kettle. I'll get it brewed for you."

Dende pulled out the tea pack and handed it to her. "Thank you, I appreciate it."

Chi-Chi turned on the kettle on the stove. "I know you said you don't eat much, but is there anything you do like? I'd feel terrible if I couldn't feed you at all."

"It's very generous of you to offer, but really, I mostly drink liquids. The only solid food I eat is diced watermelon and cucumber as a snack."

Goten made a face. "Watermelon and cucumber together? That sounds gross."

"Well we can't all eat our boogers as a snack like you Goten." Gohan replied.

"I don't eat my boogers anymore!"

"Oh, so you just lick the snot now? Got it."

"Shut up!"

"Boys, stop fighting at the table. Dende, I'll keep in mind your eating preferences."

Dende covered his mouth to hide his giggle. "Thank you Mrs. Son." He spoke once he composed himself. It was funny to see Gohan and Goten interact. It made him miss his own brother. Since he and Cargo were only a year apart they typically got along well, but they had their moments. Gohan and Goten seemed to bicker more than get along.

.

.

.

Dinner went smoothly. Gohan ate more than he thought, but he missed his mothers cooking. It had been months since he's had food that good. Not to mention eating the same things every week at school. Tonight his mother made his favorites and he couldn't be happier. After dinner, the family prepared for bed. The tea Chi-Chi brewed for Dende helped tremendously. He felt relaxed and his mind was free of anxious thoughts. When he was ready for bed, he dismissed himself for the night.

Gohan managed to sneak the landline to his room. When the house was quiet and everyone went to bed, Gohan sat in his bed, in his shared room, talking to Videl.

"Did you make it home okay?"

"Yeah it was fine. Being away from home for so long made me forget how big this house is. I kinda miss my tiny dorm." Videl laughed quietly over the phone.

Gohan smiled. "I never thought I'd hear someone complain about their house being too big. Maybe we should switch?"

"Nice try, but I think I'm gonna pass on the agreement."

"Well it was worth asking at least." He said before he noticed his younger brother across the room tossing and turning in his sleep. "Do you have any plans for the break?"

"Other than sleeping, not really. Erasa lives in West City too so I'm sure we'll hang out or have a sleepover or something. What about you? Do you have any plans?"

Before he could answer, he heard Goten whining in his sleep. He was even annoying in slumber. With a shake of his head, he replied. "Well I know Goten will want me to take him on a hike so he can look at bugs. Luckily Dende is here so he can annoy him about beetles and caterpillars instead of me."

Videl giggled. "Aw, how cute. Your little brother's into bugs? I liked bugs when I was little too, but mostly butterflies and moths. Fireflies too."

Gohan could never understand the fascination with bugs. He never liked them, always preferred a book over a bug. "I'm guessing you grew up with band-aids on your face and knees too huh?"

"From beating up boys? Yeah, I did. Luckily my dresses were long enough to cover up my knee bandages for Sunday service, but my mom used to yell about how 'proper girls didn't pick fights with boys.' My dad was just glad I was able to defend myself."

Gohan chuckled slightly at the thought. Videl was definitely more on the aggressive side, but she had her soft moments. Gohan started to speak again, but Goten had distracted him once more with his whining, tossing, and turning. Annoyed, Gohan covered the speaker on the landline. "Do you mind shutting up? I'm on the phone." He whispered harshly.

Goten groaned as he sat up to look at his brother across the room. "I can't help it. Your friend has the light on in grandpa's hut, and it's keeping me up."

Gohan looked over at the window, and saw the faint glow of the light cascading throughout the room. He couldn't imagine how bright his parents' room must be. He pulled his hand away from the speaker. "Hey Videl? Can I call you back tomorrow? My brother is being annoying."

"Oh sure, it's late anyways. Get some sleep, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"You too. Talk to you tomorrow." With that he hung up the phone and climbed out of bed. Gohan went over to his brother's bed and scooped him up. "You can sleep in my bed tonight, I'm going to go check on Dende." He said and carried him to his bed and laid him down.

Goten began pulling the covers over him. "Are you coming back?"

"I doubt it, so I'll see you in the morning." He gave a small kiss to his head and went over to their window. Gohan pushed it out and climbed over. "If you get cold, close the window but don't lock it, okay?"

"'Kay. Goodnight Gohan." Goten mumbled, turning over to continue his rest.

"Goodnight Squirt." Gohan called and hopped out the window to sneak over to his grandfather's hut. Gohan managed to make it to his grandfather's hut without alarming his parents. Even outside, the hut's light's were extremely bright. He knocked on the door quietly before sliding it open when he didn't get a reply. "Dende? Are you okay?"

Dende rolled over tiredly in bed towards Gohan. "Hi Gohan. Something wrong?" He asked, his voice light and full of fatigue.

"I was going to ask you the same thing. You can't sleep?"

Dende sat up, rubbing his eyes. "I was asleep, you woke me up."

"Oh, sorry. You had the lights on so I thought you had trouble sleeping still."

Dende looked away in embarrassment. "I'm afraid of the dark. Chiaotzu and I share a night light, but I forgot to bring it."

Gohan held back a laugh. No wonder he asked to sleep with the blinds up back at the dorm. "Well there's no light pollution out this far. We don't even have streetlights. The hut lights are really bright on the house, so it's kinda keeping everyone up."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb anyone. I'm finally starting to sleep again but I can't sleep without some kind of light."

"Would you be able to sleep in the dark if I stayed here with you?"

Dende smiled slightly at the offer and nodded his head.

"M'kay, I'm going to turn off the lights." He said and went to turn off the switch for the main light, as well as the light in the bathroom.

Dende tensed at the pitch black darkness that enveloped the room. He didn't want to subject Gohan to sleeping on the floor again for his sake, but to his surprise Gohan had slid in the bed next to him.

"You're crazy if you thought I was sleeping on the floor again. Scoot over."

As requested, Dende moved over towards the wall for Gohan to have space in the shared bed. "Are you comfortable?" He asked.

"Not yet." He said and lifted an arm to wrap around Dende, pulling him closer and settling against the bed. "That's better. Sorry if I'm too close, the bed's pretty small. You can lay on me if you want."

Dende moved closer to Gohan, laying his head on his chest. Once again, he could hear his calming heartbeat. He never felt so safe. "Goodnight Gohan." He spoke quietly in the dark.

"Goodnight Dende. Sleep well."

"I will."

A/N If you can't tell, Gohan/Dende will be way less subtle due to Videl currently being out of the picture. I've been waiting on writing the last scene for a while, so I'm glad it's finally posted. I hope you didn't expect Gohan to a nice big brother. As a younger sibling, it didn't seem realistic to have him naturally pleasant to Goten. They're 10+ years apart, of course they're not going to get along. If you have any siblings, you would know that their dynamic in the story is completely normal. However, it doesn't mean that Gohan hates Goten. Gohan loves Goten, which is why I exemplified it in the last scene. But again, they're gonna fuss and fight and argue before they're getting along and loving each other. It is sibling law. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Reviews are appreciated. Until next chapter!
