Well, here. It has a little more depth, and gives you some more insight.

Chapter 3

Ryuk, The Everlasting Existence

---

“It is sealed. You are now bound to become the next Guardian of Time,”

“The what-? Ryuk, what are you talking about, and why am I here?” I asked confused.

“Yes, you are right, I am Ryuk, in human Form, that is,” Ryuk told me. Surely I was dreaming, I just had to be. I mean, how else was this happening? The coolest guy in school... Not human? “Moving on,” Ryuk monotonously continued, “Your job will be to guard the Time Continuum. I will be the one to teach you.”

“What are you even talking about?” I asked, incredulous.

“You agreed, and now that your blood has been given to this dimension, it, too, is yours. I will instruct you in your studies and watch over you, do not worry. Also, you can visit this dimension, The World of Time, whenever you wish. If you call me, I’ll come and take you, if you so desire.”

“O-o-okay, but can I just go home now, to, you know, just think it over?”

“Yes,” He said, and, with a blinding flash of light I was home again.

---

“I’m home!” I heard myself say as I walked into the door, but I wasn’t doing any of it.

“Great,” my mom said, walking into the kitchen. “How was it?” she then asked me.

“It was cool,” I said again, not knowing what I was doing. “See, yah, I'm going to go out,
‘kay?”

“Have fun!” I heard her say as I walked back outside.

“That is what was meant to be, you cannot change It unless you know how to manipulate time,” a voice inside of my head told me.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I mean, let me teach you because until then, that will keep happening. Every time you go to another dimension and come back Time will back up a little and you will be forced to do as It says, understand?” Ryuk asked.

“Yes,” I replied.

And, for once, I really, honestly, and truly did.

“Ryuk,” I said in my mind.

“Yes,” he said, forming in front of me. “You need something.”

“What are you? My slave, or something. No offense, but I didn’t exactly expect you to answer…”

“Hey, now. “Slave” is a little derogatory, don’t you think?” He asked, laughing.

“Oh, yeah, sorry about that. I should have thought first,” I replied.

“Don’t worry about it, okay? I was just joking. Most of the humans that I’ve trained that
have asked me that question at one point or another,” he said, looking completely unfazed. “Humans are funny!” he said laughing. I had never seen him laugh so much before. He is always so serious. “From now on, we’re good friends, as you humans call it.”

“Huh, really?” I asked surprised.

“Yeah. Only, even if you get mad, or jealous, or some other negative feeling towards me, I will still be there because I understand that it is just human nature.”

“Cool!” I said, “Friends forever!”

“Well,” he sighed, “Not exactly forever. Once you… die I will have to move on to train the next one.”

“Oh, okay,” I said. “That was a little disheartening, but I’ll do my best.”

“Good, that’s what I want to hear. Well, it’s past six, so you should probably go home now.

“What the hell? How did it get that late? I asked.

“I, too can manipulate the Continuum. Until, that is, you learn how to control It.’

---

“I’m back,” I said as I walked in the back door.

“Where were you?” Mom asked me.

“Hanging out with Ryuk,” I replied.

“Did I not tell you not to hang out with him? He’s three years older than you!” She said,
getting ready to explode again. She just can't deal with the fact that not every single older bay is bad. Some are kind and make good friends.

“Oh, God!! Just leave me alone,” I told her, walking upstairs. Shortly after, I went to bed.

---

I honestly don’t know why they always have to start school on a Thursday. They almost always do and, then, for the older grades, there’s a homecoming dance. As I awoke, I remembered this.

“Goooooood morning!” Ryuk said, making me jump.

“You can't be in here!” I whispered.

“Why not? Your parents left early,” he replied.

“Well, yeah, but my brother’s still here. He’s a third year.”

“So?” Ryuk asked.

“So he’ll mind if you’re here,” I replied.

“Fine then,” Ryuk said, disappearing.

“I can't believe him,” I sighed. Just then, the doorbell rang. “Okay, now I really can't
believe him!”

“I’ll get it,” Haru shouted. As he opened the door, I heard him say,” What the hell are you doing here?” Ryuk and Haru don’t get along very well, as you can imagine.

“I’m here to see Shi, what do you think?” I heard Ryuk reply as I walked into the room.

“I think you’re gonna get outta my house if you want your good health to continue,” Haru angrily told him.

“Sorry, but, no can do,” Ryuk said, pushing right by Haru and walking over to me.

“Hey, Senpai!” I said, acting surprised. I didn’t want Haru think I invited him because he’d blow his top.

“Ready to go?” Ryuk asked.

“Yup,” I replied.

“You aren’t going anywhere with him. I’m, older and so what I say goes,” Haru told me.

“Actually, I'm the oldest here, so I guess that according to your ridiculous logic, what I
say goes,” Ryuk said.

“Let’s go,” I smugly said, walking out.

---

“That was so funny!” I told Ryuk as we drove to school. “Haru can be really annoying at times
and I can never figure out how to piss him off.” I then laughed.

“Well, we probably shouldn’t do that too often, though,” he replied. “If he gets really mad,
then things may get messed up.”

“Oh,” I said, “Okay.”

“Ah, don’t worry so much about all this stuff… For a little while, at least. How does this
weekend sound?”

“Ha ha!” I laughed. “You mean after the dance?”

“Well, yeah,” He replied. “But if I let this happen, then you have got to at least dance. Not
like those other stupid stiffs.” Now was his turn to laugh.

“Fine,” I said, indignantly.

---

“Hey!” DK said, coming up to me. “Where were you this morning? We always walk to school
together…”

“Yeah, well, today Ryuk drove me,” I replied, sensing that at this he may be a little hurt. I
couldn’t help it though. I was excited. I had always liked Ryuk. And DK knew it.

“Oh, okay,” he replied. He tried not to sound disappointed, but it was evident in the
inflection of his voice. I did feel a little remorse then. I felt bad that I had hurt his feelings a
little because he really was always there for me…

Chapter 2:

Sh(e)(I) Discovers

---

“Mom, I'm home!” I yelled as she walked in the door of the house.

“Great,” my mom said, walking into the kitchen. “How was it?” she then asked me.

I probably shouldn’t tell her about me fainting…

“No, you shouldn’t.”

“Huh? ‘The hell?” I said, out loud.

You really shouldn’t do that, you know.”

“Young Lady! We do NOT talk that way in this house, or anywhere else, for that matter.” My mother admonished.

“Who in the Hell is talking?” I again wondered aloud.

This did not go over so well with my mother. “I SAID, DO NOT SWEAR!” my mom now said more sternly, in a louder, more threatening voice, but of course I paid her no mind, I was too self absorbed at the moment with a set of my own problems. I, having a flash of stupidity, ran out of the house and into our tiny backyard.

“Who are you?” I screamed at nothing in particular.

“I am your Guide.”

“What “Guide”?” I said, now breaking down into hysterics.

“Your Dimensional Guide.”

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Do you mean “What are “Dimensions”?”

“Just tell me anything, I just wanna know what’s going on here!” I was now crying.

“I’ll explain…”

---

I feel dizzy again…

It’s the white world again…

“Shi, It is I, your Guide,”

“My what?”

“Your Guide. I am to lead you in your study,”

“What of?”

“Majik, I guess. How to shape your environment to your needs,”

“How?”

“Watch closely,” a dark figure said, suddenly appearing. It moved swiftly towards me and then
stopped, so I just couldn’t see his/her form. It suddenly placed its hand on the ground and pulled up
an intricate stone sword. “See? I can make any object that I desire as long as I follow the
Conservation of Mass Theory and channel the molecules correctly. I can show you how to do that, if
you’d like. But, I need you answer immediately and no matter the answer, there is no turning back. I have been sent to guard you since your birth and now you are of the correct age so I must ask you now. If your final answer is no, then you will never learn of your birthright and how to use your powers to your advantage. The choice is yours alone, and can be influenced by no one. Now, decide,”

“Y-yes,” I said, my voice quavering. As I said this, the figure teleported over beside me, stuck a knife to the back of me hand just so that one drop of blood fell out onto the ground. As this happened, the ground began to shake.

“Wh-what’s going o-on?” I asked, slightly afraid of the answer. “It is complete,” the voice said, stepping out of the shadows…


It was Ryuk…

---

***

Yeah... It turned slightly more sci-fi-ish. Promise that everything will fall into place, though. It is going to end up to be dramatic. :strikes a pose:

I have not yet introduced several main characters as of yet. :lol:

Well, whaddya think? As good? :smile: Worse? :frown: Better?! :D

:lol:

The first chapter of my revised story:



I felt like revising myy story... Here is chapter one of the revised version. I post up most of my stories on fictionpress.com, but I want to wait until I finish up the revised part. So, without further adue, here it is:

---

Chapter 1:
The Start of a New School Year

---

It’s cold and I’m surrounded by white...
Hello!
I call out and await a response.
No one hears me. I’m all alone here, aren’t I?
Footsteps. Coming towards me.
“Shi...”
Someone’s calling my name.
Hello?
I call out again.

---

“BLAAAAANNNNNG!!!!!” the alarm clock screamed in Shi’s ear, telling her that it was time to get up.
“‘The Hell?” she said, staring at it like she wanted very badly to shut it up once and for all. However, she dismissed the thought as she got dressed in clothes suitable for school, and packed her bag.
Shi is your typical teen girl. She is short, at about five feet, and she has long, black hair. She loves most everything that everyone else does, and even sings in a small garage band called Loud Beat.
“’Bye mom!” she said as she headed out to meet up with DK. She had been friends with DK ever since the fifth grade, when he had saved her from a rabies-ridden coyote. DK’s real name is Kiken Otoro, but last year the two had taken English, and had consequently found out that in English, DK’s name literally means ‘Tuna Danger’, which sounds completely stupid. So, instead they now called him Danger-kun, or DK for short. He’s fairly tall at about five-five and has brown hair. He loves to practice his athletic abilities, and enjoys every sport, and especially listening to music. He too, is in Loud Beat. He plays the drums, mainly, and also does some vocals.
Shi ran next door, still ‘putting the finishing touches’ on her book summaries. In reality, ‘finishing touches’ meant that they were never even attempted. As she arrived, Taku bounded down the porch steps to meet her. Taku was DK’s favorite. End of story. He loved that dog more than anything. Taku was less than a foot long, so he was used to going everywhere with DK... Even to school. Once we get to school, DK usually makes a bed in his locker for the poor little pooch.
“Hey there, little guy!” Shi said to the small dog that rapidly wagging its tail at her feet.
“Ohaiyo gozimasu!” DK called screamed as he easily made the six-foot jump from the railing on his porch. He expertly landed on his feet, too. “How ish my wittle doggy-woggy?” He squeaked to Taku. “How’s it going, Shi?” He then said to the girl staring in awe.
“Ugh! That little fur-ball comes before me?” she asked sarcastically.
“Of course,” he replied way too seriously. “Come on! Let’s go!” He said as he and Taku ran down the empty street. Shi chased after, but soon got tired and called out to DK to stop. As she caught up to him, she asked, “So... it’s just six-fifteen... What should we do before we head out to school?”
“Coffeeeeeee!” DK replied hoisting the tired puppy into the brand new messenger bag adorning his shoulder.
“Why not?” Shi sighed and then the two headed to the Shinjuku Café near their school.

---

As they walked in the door, Hijikata greeted them, “Hey, school’s started now, huh? I can tell because you guys never come in this early in the summer!” Hijikata is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He prefers to be called Hiji, though.
“Hmm... yeah, you’re right. We’ll have the usual, I guess,” Shi laughed.
“Hey, you guys are First-Years now, huh? High school is big time!” Hiji laughed as he walked away to get their orders. “What are you planning on doing when you grow up?” he called out from behind the counter.
“No clue absolutely!” DK replied as Shi said, “I want to be... programmer, or a web designer!”
“Do you now?” Hiji asked placing a cappuccino in front of her. “Sounds like a pretty big job!”
“It is! I even know both HTML, and XHTML,” She said and went on explaining it to him as Ryuk walked in.
Ryuk Matedo is now a Fourth-Year. He’s a tall, muscular guy with brown-highlighted-blond hair. He’s the tallest of the trio at around five- seven. He can play almost any instrument and loves singing and writing. He also loves sports. He’s the type of guy that everybody likes. He, of course, is in their garage band as well. He does most of lead vocals and also plays whatever instrument that no one else wants. He is so good, that he even gets to help out with some of the band classes at their school.
“What is up my First-Year friends!?!?” he sang, taking the seat next to Shi’s. “How does it feel to be First-Years?” he then asked.
“I like the feel of power,” Shi sarcastically responded.
“Wow, Shi, pretty deep answer coming from you.” DK told me.
“Yeah, he’s right; I would have expected something like the usual ‘It’s fun!’ crap that you tend to give us!” Ryuk laughed. “I’ll have what DK’s having!”
“Coming right up, Ryuk,” Hiji said.
“So... we’ll head to school in, like, a half hour, or so... right?” Ryuk asked.
“Yeah.” DK replied.
“In... my new car, right?” Ryuk asked cautiously.
“Why not?” DK replied.
“Yes!” he said, pumping his fist up and down a few times. “So... did you guys have a lot of stuff to read over the summer?”
“Of course,” Shi replied. “Did you?”
“Even more then you can imagine!” He groaned at her.
“You know what? I think that I want to drop Taku off at home first... So can we finish up and go soon?” DK asked, hopefully looking at us.
“Fine by me,” Shi said and Ryuk agreed. They all talked some more as they finished up and then went back to drop Taku off at DK’s house.

---

All is quiet. I’m surrounded by some sort of white aura. I feel all tingly.
“Shi.”
Some voice... out in the distance...
“Shi... Follow me...”
What is it? I can’t hear you clearly...

---

“SHI!!! Wake up!!! We’re here!” DK yelled into my ear, jarring me out of my daydream.
“Well... I guess that we’re the first ones here,” Shi said as she, Ryuk, and DK pulled up at the large school located the Ginza district of Tokyo.
“Hmph, oh well,” Ryuk said trying his hardest to parallel park his brand new, black Honda into the center space of the circle located below the front steps of the school’s front entrance.
“A little more to your left,” DK helpfully told him.
“Do. Not. Talk. I. Will. Kill. You. If. I. Scratch. My. New. Car. While-you-are-TALKING!!!!!” Ryuk replied between gritted teeth.
“Sheez, soooorrrry,” DK replied.
“Stop. Being. Helpful.” Ryuk repeated.
“I-DID-IT!!!!!” Ryuk screamed, which shook me up.
“Uh, you want a medal?” I asked him with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
“Can I?” He then replied, putting on the pathetic-puppy-dog-eyes face.
“Uh, you could if I had one...?” I replied, shocked at how proud he was.
“Good enough for me,” he laughed. “Well... what time is it? Exactly how early are we?”
“Really,” I said, looking at the digital clock on the dashboard.
“I’m bored,” DK yawned.
“Geez, you lose yourself pretty easy, huh?” Ryuk asked him, face faulting in DK’s general direction.
“Yeah, I do,” he replied and yawned.
“Uh, you’re not supposed to admit it so blatantly,” I told him, incredulous.
“Oh, well,” he replied. He never really was one to keep his feelings bottled up, and besides, we’re his friends, right? No need to be embarrassed around us.
“Ten minutes ‘till the school opens,” Ryuk said. “Damn, summer should be longer.”
“I agree,” DK replied.
“I do not,” I simply said.
“Whhaaaaaat?” they both asked in incredulous unison. “Why not???” DK asked.
“Well,” I sighed. “I, for one, like school because I get to see you idiots everyday!” I smiled.
“Yeah, I guess I’ll go with you on that one,” Ryuk said, and then he looked pissed. I guess he just caught on, I giggled. “What do you mean by, “you idiots”?”
“Ha ha, I’m just joking!” I replied.
Then DK said, “You’d better be, ‘cause Ryuk here’s pre-tty sharp!” He then realized what he had just said and added, “And so. Am. I.”
“It’s okay,” I said while petting the top of his head. “We know you are!”
“Hey, guys, people are arriving; maybe we should go in now...” Ryuk suddenly observed.

---

“Hey, what free periods do you guys have?” Ryuk asked DK and I as he walked out of the guidance center.
“We both have period G free, you?” I asked him.
“Yeah! Me too!” He happily replied.
“We got the same schedule again, too!” DK told Ryuk. Every year, ever since middle school, we always had the same schedule... I never really could figure it out though I did have a hunch. “The only difference is our electives. Shi has Filmmaking I, Art I, and Drama I and I, well, I didn’t take any electives,” DK laughed. “I took two languages, and an extra science instead.”
“Hey, same home room, too! I’m so glad that we’re allowed to pick which one we want every year,” Ryuk said, flashing a smile.
“Yeah, Gon, Dogoto, Suzu, and Riku are with us too,” DK told Ryuk.
“Good,” He said. We had all been friends, for, like, well, forever, and we so wanted to be together for Ryuk and Gon’s last year.
“Well, let’s head down to the cafeteria, and see who else we can find,” Ryuk said.

---

As we neared our favorite table, the one in the back right hand corner, we could see Riku talking to Dogoto and Gon sleeping while leaning against the wall.
“Hey,” I called to them.
“WhaAaA?!?!” Gon woke up. Yep, he’s the easily startled type. “What‘idja hafta go and do that for?” He asked me. “I was all fast asleep.”
Gon is a Fourth-Year who is about average height, slightly heavy, and has dark brown hair. He’s nice and really funny.
“You are looking cross-eyed and slightly pissed,” I told him. “Rough night?”
“Do NOT start up with some manga thing... It’s waaaaay too early. And, yeah, actually, I stayed up all night and read the rest of I books I missed, ha ha.”
“Gon’s weak spot is procrastination,” Dogoto remarked.
Dogoto is Gon’s cousin. He’s a First-Year who is around five-three, has brown hair, is quiet, and not that smart, but really nice. Shi likes him.
“Hey, Shi! DK! Ryuk!” Riku acknowledged us.
Riku is one of my good friends. She is about my height, a First-Year, like me, and has shoulder-length dark brown hair. She’s friendly, and probably the most outgoing out of all of us.
“How did summer treat you?” I asked Riku who had spent the last week at her grandparents.
“Well! They’re so great! They’re, like, the only ones who’ll put up with taking me out to the bookstore and then buying me whatever manga that I want on top of the drive! And they live right at the ocean, so I got to swim a lot!” She happily chirped.
“Hah, lucky you!” I said to her.
“I know!” she replied, just to rub it in.
“Heeeeeyyy, Gon... How’s that book yah got there? Any Good?” Ryuk slyly asked Gon.
“Cut to the chase,” Gon warned him.
“Fine!” Ryuk pouted. “I didn’t exactly finish it... Mind sharing?” Ryuk asked, hopefully.
“After I finish it, sure, then,” He replied, laughing.
“Ryuuuuuk!!!” How many times did I tell you to read?” Riku asked, upset. She began pounding on his back just for emphasis.
“Uuuhhh... a lot?” he replied.
“Argh!!! You people are impossible!!!” she said, sounding really angry.
“Hey, all!” Suzu said, walking in. “What’s going on here?”
Suzu is the grounded, klutzy, smart-idiotic type. She is around five-four and is a First-Year who lives near me. She has short, brown hair and is hyperactive a lot.
“Ryuk didn’t do his reading!” Suzu told her.
“His problem, not yours, am I right?” she asked Riku.
“Yeah, you are,” she replied.
“How’s it going?” I asked her.
“Good, you guys?” she replied.
“Fine here,” I said.
“Good!” DK said.
“Great!” Ryuk sang.
“Okay...” Dogoto said.
“...” Gon didn’t answer at first, but then he just groaned.
“I see that you’re well!” she smiled at him.
“You suck,” he plainly replied.
“As swift as ever!” she said, laughing.
And then the bell rang, signaling that we should start heading to homeroom.

---

“Hello, class. I my name is Tsunato-sensei. I will be your homeroom instructor for this year. Nice to meet you all,” the dull-looking, bald man standing at the front of the room said, monotonously.
“Greeeat! Loser!” Riku whispered to me.
“Ha ha!” Ryuk laughed out loud.
“MISTER? uh? MATEDO!!! Please be quiet while I am talking! Have courtesy! All of you! This is a fine example of what I was just saying that I do NOT want to see in my room! ?”
That went on for about a half hour and then the bell finally rang for all of the “eager to learn” students. It was honestly more like the “eager to destroy the country’s educational system” students. They honestly were not the “Student of the Month” types. For the most part, they all despised anything that even had to do with learning. As you can tell, they were all a “pleasure to teach”.
“Well, off to a great start, aren’t we, Ryuk?” Dogoto said to him.
“Yeah,” he laughed, “we are.” He replied. “Well, we’re off, we’ve both got “Band 6” first period.” Ryuk told the rest of us as he and Gon walked off towards the “Music and Performing Arts Center”. The rest of them just chatted as they went off to their classes.

---

“I’m sooooo bored!” I whispered to DK, who was sitting next to me in first period, Biology.
“Shh! I’ve gotta hear this! I actually wanna pass!” he whispered to me in reply with a sharp tone of voice.
“Fine!” I said to him and stuck out my tongue in his direction.
“Bring in these criteria, signed, by tomorrow,” the teacher finished saying just as I pulled my tongue back into my mouth. “It has a whole section about how I feel about crude behavior in my classes, Miss Anato,” she said looking in my general direction.
“Eep!” I said and looked at DK.
“Tomorrow you will all have assigned seats. Any questions on what I have just told you all?” No one raised their hands at this or said anything. “Good, then. Miss Anato, please quickly summarize what I have just said.”
“Uh, you said that, uh, we have to bring in our signed criteria and that we all have to, uh, no crude behavior?” I said.
“Not even close,” Bitch-Sensei replied. Can't she see that no one cares? I thought to my self. This is really pissing me off… I'm getting dizzy here… di… zz… y…

---

It’s that white place again… I think that it’s snowing…
“Shi…”
Yes?
“Can you hear me, Shi?”
“Yes.” I said. I can actually talk.
“Shi… Follow my voice…”
How? It’s echoing all around! I can't talk again! Now what do I do…?
“Follow my voice… Listen to me and believe and you will be able to talk again…”
“Okay,” I say with certainty and follow that dreamy voice that kept saying my name over and over so I could follow…
Suddenly, I come to a clearing. In the center there is an odd looking design… It’s a circle-looking thing… with triangles and some other geometric shapes and some symbols, too. That’s odd…
“…”
The voice stopped.
“Is this where you want me to be?” I asked. “Is this it?”
“Yes.”
“Why? What is it?”
Another dimension…”
“What does it do?”
“That is for you to find out…”
“What do I do with it? How do I use it?”
“That is for you to figure out on your own… All that I can do is lead you to it… The time has come for you to learn…” The voice said, sounding more and more faint.
“Nooooo! Don’t leave me here!!! Help me! Heeeeelllp meeeee!!! Pleaseee!!!” I screamed at the cold, white, snow-filled, aura-y sky…

---

“SHI! SHI WAKE UP!” DK was screaming in my ear as I opened my eyes. “You’re okay!” he said, sounding really relieved. He was holding me and trying to wake me up.
“There was this weird dream…” I told him.
“It’s okay now… Don’t worry about it. We’re in the nurses office. I took you here. You’re okay now,” He said in a soothing tone of voice.
“What happened?” I groggily asked him.
“You fainted, probably from stress,” he told me. “Now, what was this dream about?”
He’s curious… Should I really tell him, though? I asked to my self, unsure of the answer. “Can I just ask you something, please?” I said, looking up at him.
“Sure, anything,” he replied.
“Will you always be there to help me out?” I asked him.
“Yeah, of course, you’re my friend, aren’t you? You helped me out back in Middle School, so we’re pretty much thick-and-thin. Why do you ask?” he said. He seemed pretty shocked that I would even have to ask him that.
“No reason, just wondering,” I replied.
“So… What was your dream about?”
“Nothing,” I said to him. “I forgot.”
“Hey, Ryuk, I'm worried about Shi,” I said to Ryuk as I walked down the hallway during break between second and third period.
“Why?” he asked.
“She fainted during Bio, I think that bit was due to stress,” I told him.
“Oh, well, that’s not good, is it?” he said.
“No, duh,” I told him sarcastically. “But still, she’s been acting weird lately… And she keeps saying that she’s having these weird dreams, but when I ask, she won't even tell me what they’re about. AND she even asked me this really weird question after she came-to.”
“Hmm…” he said, perplexed. “What did she ask you?”
“She asked me if I would always be there to help her out… It just confused me because she knows that I will…”
“And what about these dreams? Do you know anything? Maybe that’s what’s bothering her…” he said, still sounding slightly confused, but obviously he didn’t want it to show.
“Nothing, but I think that those, plus school, are really stressing her out…”
“I don’t really know what to tell you, but if you want I’ll go and talk to her.”
“Nah, not yet, anyways… I wanna try to figure something out first…”

If anyonme actually followed that, then cheers to you! :cheers: If you have any insight or anything feel free to tell me. It would be nice.
