The Storm Part 1

Erza walked into her room and sighed happily. It had been a good day. She and Natsu had a little date in the guild café and their guild mates were just so supportive of their relationship. Erza smiled softly "Mmmm… Today was good." she said. "Natsu is really good at being in a relationship… I wonder why… I suppose I'll ask him next chance I get." she said. Erza stretched and yawned softly "I am tired though… Maybe I'll take a bath and go to sleep" she decided. Erza went into to the bathroom. Around the same time Natsu came in through the window and looked around "I guess she's not home yet." he said.

Natsu sat on the bed and pulled the cake they had shared earlier that day out of his scarf "Erza will be happy to see this. She loves this kind of cake." he said smiling. Over the past few days they'd spent together Natsu was really happy. He couldn't have asked for a better mate. He looked around the room "So this is what her room looks like..." he said. He looked over to a room and saw a saw glimpse of some of her armor through an opening. "Whoa! Is that her armor?" Natsu asked himself excitedly.

He got up and put the cake on the bed and ran over to the room and open the door. There was so much armor! Natsu grinned widely. "Awesome! Look at all the cool looking armor! I've never seen these armors before! I didn't know Erza had these." he said as he walked through the room admiring all the interesting armors.

After a few minutes Erza came out of the bathroom in her pajamas and stretched "Mmmm… That was a good bath… I can see why Lucy likes them…" she said. She walked over to her bed and saw the cake she and Natsu had shared earlier that day laying there. "Oh? How did this get here? I thought Natsu had taken it home with him." she said. Then she heard something crash in her armor room. Erza summoned her sword and slowly approached the room "Whoever is there come out now if you value your life!" she said getting her sword ready.

Natsu gulped. 'Crap… shouldn't have messed around with that armor' he thought. Natsu slowly came out of the room with his hands raised "D-Don't kill me Erza… Please…?" he asked. Erza blinked "N-Natsu? What are you doing here?" she asked. "I came to drop off your cake. Then I saw your armor in this room and I decided to check it out and it was so cool! And then I saw your really shiny armor and I saw my reflection in it and it was so clear and I got too close and I ended up knocking it over and I'm sorry and please don't kill me! P-Put the sword down?" he asked.

Erza blinked and put her sword away "Sorry Natsu. I thought you were someone else. And as opposed to the armor falling, it's alright." She said. Natsu sighed in relief. "Thanks Erza…" he said. Erza smiled "No need to thank me. Now are you going to leave?" Natsu shook his head "I was hoping I could stay here a while. Maybe finish the rest of that cake… Maybe stay the night." He said. Erza blushed heavily. Natsu and Erza finish their cake then Natsu stay the night? This was turning into one of her romance novels.

"O-Of course Natsu…" she said. Then Erza remembered where she lived and sighed "No… You can't stay the night… This is Fairy Hills. A girls only dorm. They wouldn't let you…" she said. "Nobody has to know I'm staying the night. I'd be gone before anybody woke up." Natsu said. Erza was a little disappointed by that. "Oh…. A-Alright… I suppose you can stay under those conditions…" she said blushing a little. Natsu grinned "Perfect. Now do you wanna finish that cake?" he asked. Erza smiled and nodded "I'd love to." she said.

(The next morning)

Erza woke slowly to the sun's warm light shining on her face. She got up slowly and yawned. She rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes and looked over to the small kitchen she had and saw Natsu cooking something. Erza tilted her head a bit "Natsu…?" she asked. Natsu smiled over to her "Good morning Erza. And if you're wondering why I'm here still, don't worry. It's still very early in the morning. I just opened your curtains so the sun would wake you up faster." he said.

Erza blinked. Natsu really was good at this. "O-Okay… But… What are you cooking? I didn't know you could cook…" she asked. Natsu smiled. "Well of course I can cook. I have to take care of you. Igneel taught me that when you have a mate you have to be able to take care of them and to love them with all your being. And I'm just cooking some pancakes and eggs." he said. Erza smiled "Well thank you Natsu." she said. Natsu grinned "No need to thank me Erza. Breakfast is about ready now. We'll eat but then I have to leave okay? The others should be waking up soon." he said. Erza nodded. "Alright then." She said.

Erza got up and walked to the table taking a seat as Natsu put the pancakes and eggs on a plate and getting a fork and bringing the breakfast over to the table, setting everything down then taking a seat himself. Natsu smiled as he ate some of the eggs "I love you Erza." he said. Erza smiled and took the fork from him and ate some eggs herself "I love you too Natsu." she replied.

As the two ate Erza was impressed at how well the food was cooked. Natsu was a real talent. "Natsu the food you cooked is amazing." she said. Natsu smiled "I'm glad to hear its good enough." he said. Erza nodded. "It's really good. Hey Natsu, can I talk you?" she asked. "Of course Erza. What is it?" Natsu asked. "Well, I'm going to be participating in the Miss Fairy Tail pageant today. Will you be there to see me?" she asked. Natsu nodded "Of course Erza. I wouldn't miss it for the world." he said smiling. Erza smiled "Thank you Natsu. Now let's hurry and finish this food before the others wake up." she said.

They finished their food in a hurry and Natsu got up from the table and walked over to the window "See you at the guild okay Erza?" he asked. Erza smiled "Okay Natsu. Now hurry before the others wake up." she said. Natsu nodded and jumped out the window. Erza got up from the table "I should probably get ready to leave too." she said. She requiped out of her pajamas and into her armor and left her dorm room. Nobody else seemed to have woken up yet. 'I'm impressed. Natsu was right. Nobody else has woken up yet.' she thought.

She went downstairs and out the door of the dorm and looked up at the sky. The sun was just barely up. She then looked down the road to the guild hall and saw Natsu already walking towards the guild hall. 'I guess I'll be walking with Natsu then.' she thought smiling. She ran over to Natsu and tapped his shoulder. "Forgetting someone?" she asked. Natsu smiled and turned around "Of course not. I was just thinking you wouldn't take that long to get ready. I take it you requiped into your outfit?" he asked. Erza nodded. Natsu smiled "Well then. Let get going shall we?" he said. Erza smiled "Of course." she said

Natsu held out his hand and Erza took it and they walked to the guild hall together hand in hand. Erza smiled softly. Ever since they got together Natsu had always been getting them to do couple things like hold hands and share meals. All the things they did together made her happy and Erza loved him for it. She'd never been happier.

As they walked through town they noticed a lot of people had been setting up stands. "Looks like people have been setting up for the Fantasia parade." said Natsu. Erza nodded "Well of course. It's a big event. I'm not surprised they'd be setting up so early in the morning." she said. Natsu shrugged "I guess." he said. Erza giggled a bit. Despite how amazing a lover he was, he was still Natsu.

When they got to the guild people had been setting up for the pageant. Erza smiled and kissed Natsu's cheek. "I'm going to go ahead and sign up for the pageant. You go ahead and wait for me to be on okay?" she asked. Natsu smiled and nodded. "Alright. Knock 'em dead." he replied. Erza smiled and kissed him "Bye Natsu. I'll see you after the pageant." she said. Natsu smiled "Bye. Now go sign up." Erza nodded and left.

Natsu went and took a seat at one of the tables and rested his chin on the table. How he managed to pull off looking like he was feeling well for so long was beyond him. Truth be told he was still feeling the after-effects of eating all the ethernano back at the Tower of Heaven. 'Ugh… I feel awful… But at least it's starting to clear up little by little' he thought. Mirajane came over and smiled "Anything I can get you Natsu?" she asked. Natsu looked up at her "Oh…. Hey Mira…" he said. Mira tilted her head "Something wrong?" she asked. Natsu sighed "I don't feel all that good right now Mira…" he said. Mira frowned softly "Aw… Feeling bad because Erza's not around?" she asked. Natsu growled a little "Don't mock our relationship Mira…" he said. "But I wasn't. That was an honest question." replied Mira.

Natsu sighed "Sorry… But no. It's not that… I just… Ate something I shouldn't eat… I had to do it granted, but I still shouldn't have eaten it…" he said. Mira shrugged assuming it was typical Natsu actions. "Well alright. Hang in there okay?" she asked. "Yeah…" replied Natsu. With that Mira left and Natsu sighed. 'I hope this pageant thing ends soon...' he thought.

As time went by more people started coming in for the pageant. Eventually Gray and Elfman came by and sat down next to him. Gray looked over to Natsu "I can understand Elfman being here but why are you here?" he asked. Elfman crossed his arms "Cus he's a man." He said. Natsu sighed "No. Cus Erza's gonna be on." he replied. Elfman nodded "Thus proving you manliness." He said. Natsu wasn't really up for this at the moment… but at least he started feeling better.

When everyone had gathered Max got on stage and started announcing. The crowd cheered for seeing the Fairy Tail beauties. One by one the contestants came and the crowd cheered for each one. Then Erza was announced and Natsu perked up a bit lifting his head so he could see her better. When Erza came on stage the crowd cheered louder than before. Natsu looked around him and gritted his teeth. He had become rather possessive over Erza. 'Settle down… Damn…' he thought.

Erza smirked "Let me show you a requip you've never seen before" she said. Natsu was somewhat excited 'This I have to see…' he thought. Erza certainly made a show about requiping into the outfit she now wore. Natsu smiled out of the corner of his mouth 'Heh… looking good Erza.' He thought. Natsu rested his head back down on the table after Erza went backstage. The bad feeling he had was starting to clear up completely. After Erza had left a few more contestants went on eventually Lucy was being announced.

"And now for entry number seven!" announced Max. "Lucyyyyyyy-""No! Please don't say my last name!" cried Lucy frantically. The crowd seemed interested in the newcomer. Lucy put on a smile "Hiiiii. Me and my celestial spirits are gonna do a little cheer for you." she said shaking the pom-poms she had. The crowd cheered. All seemed well for the moment. Then…

"Entry number 8." Announced someone from behind the curtains. "Hey I haven't even gotten my cheer on" complained Lucy. The person slowly came out from behind the curtains "I am the very definition of fairy, and I am the very definition of beauty, therefore the prize money goes to me, the lovely Evergreen." said Evergreen as she walked out on stage. "Hey you can't just go and do that" complained Lucy. Evergreen smirked and started removing her glasses. Lucy was puzzled by her actions. "No! Don't look into her eyes!" warned Gray. But his words were pointless as Lucy was turned to stone.

Natsu got up. Evergreen had come from behind the curtains … did that mean…? "Everyone! Get out of here! Now!" shouted Max. The visitors all ran out of the guild hall screaming. Makarov stepped forward "Evergreen. What is the meaning of this? You're ruining the festival for everyone!" he demanded. Evergreen chuckled as the curtains rose behind her "Actually, I think things are just starting to get interesting." She said as the curtains came up completely. All the other girls had been turned to stone! Natsu got up "Erza!" he shouted. Erza had also been turned to stone. 'What's going on!? What the hell is happening!?' he thought.

"Don't be a fool! Turn them back this instance!" shouted Makarov. At that moment a lightning bolt struck the stage and Laxus stood up from the strike. "Well. Looks like all your fans decided to head home. Pity, because the party's about to start." He said. Natsu growled. 'What the hell are you doing Laxus…' he thought. "I should have known…" said Makarov. Gray looked around. "Freed? Bixlow too?" he said spotting the two. "The Thunder Legion…" Macao said. Natsu looked around 'What the hell…' he thought. Laxus grinned "Come on let's have a little fun." he said.

Makarov scowled "What are you doing? Turn them back now…" he said. Laxus chuckled "Now wheres the fun in that old man? You better play nice if you want these ladies to stay in one piece." he said summoning a lightning bolt above Lucy. "No! Stop!" shouted Makarov. A lightning bolt came down striking exactly next to Lucy. Natsu growled more 'What the hell are you doing Laxus…' he thought. Laxus walked next to Lucy and put his arm around her "In other words I'm taking all there lovely ladies hostage. Break the rules and I'll destroy every one of your little statues. One by one or all together. Your choice." he said smiling darkly. "This isn't funny Laxus. Quit messing around." Said Makarov angrily.

"I'm being serious you old geezer." said Laxus. Freed jumped down to the stage from the spot he was in "I was always wondering who was the strongest member of the guild." he said. Bixlow jumped down and grinned "Yeah. Now it's time for some fun" he said with his little floating tikis chanting what he had said. Laxus grinned "There's only one rule to this little game. Whoever is left standing after this is the winner." He said. Natsu's anger was rising even more than it had during all of this. "It's a Fairy Tail battle royale!" continued Laxus.

Natsu slammed his fist on the table "You … You …." He growled. 'How dare he have Erza turned to stone. How dare he!' he thought angrily. Laxus smirked at Natsu seeing that he was getting worked up. "Awww what's the matter Natsu? I figured you'd love something like this." He said. Natsu's fist exploded into flames "You bastard! Turn Erza back right now!" he shouted. Laxus grinned "Oh? Now why would I do that?" he asked. Natsu got up "Because if you don't I'm gonna pound that smug little grin right off your face." He growled. He lept off the table at Laxus with his fist raised and on fire. Laxus laughed "I like the enthusiasm but why don't you sit your ass back down!" he said zapping Natsu with a bolt of lightning and effectively knocking him out. "If you want us to turn the girls back you'll have to defeat us first." said Evergreen. "But the odds aren't too bad. There's only four of us and a ton of you guys." said Bixlow.

"You have only three hours. Nothing more but nothing less. After that the statues will be obliterated." said Evergreen. "All of Magnolia will be the stage for this event. The battle starts when and if you can find us." said Laxus grinning. Makarov was growing upset "Laxus how could you do this… I won't stand for this any longer!" he roared using his magic to become giant. "Now now calm your jets old man! It's all a part of the festival right? Ha ha ha ha come on lets have some fun!" shouted Laxus. He used his magic to make a flash blinding everybody. "Let the battle of Fairy Tail begin!" When the light went down Laxus and the Thunder Legion were gone. It took a while for things to sink in. "So its high stakes hide and go seek then…" said Macao. "Come on! We gotta man up and go beat them!" yelled Elfman

Everyone ran out of the guild hall in an attempt to save their girls. Makarov sighed and ran with them "You stupid brats! I'll stop you with my own two-" he was saying but was cut off by running into an invisible wall. Gray fell back from the crowd "What's wrong master? Why aren't you coming with us?" he asked going over to him. Makarov pushed against the invisible wall "I can't. There's an invisible wall here!" he said. "Don't be silly gramps there ain't nothing there" said Gray as he picked him up and tried pulling him through "What the hell? What's going on?" he said.

Makarov got down "If I had to guess it must be one of freed's enchantments." he said. "Enchantments?" Gray asked. Makarov nodded. "Yes. In a battle they'd be useless because of how long it takes to set them up. But as you can see their quite effective when used as traps." he explained. Gray turned around "Damn. I guess we'll have to do this on our own then." He said. Makarov nodded. "Yes. Looks like it. Now go. Quickly." he said. Gray nodded. "Alright. But I won't show any mercy. Even if Laxus is your grandson" he said before running off.

Makarov looked over to see Reedus hiding behind a post. "I see you there." He said. "Why are you there and not out there with the rest of the guild?" he asked. Reedus came out from behind the post "I'm afraid Laxus is gonna hurt me…" he said. Makarov thought for a moment. "Reedus. I need you to go to the East forest. There's an old woman there. A friend of mine. Porlyusica. Go and see if she has a cure for petrification." He asked. Reedus nodded and left.

Not long after he left Natsu came to and got up "Damn… He got me…" he said. Makarov looked back at Natsu 'Natsu… He might be strong enough to pull it off.' He thought. Natsu got up and looked around "Everyone left then…." He said. He looked over to the petrified statue of Erza. "I'll get him back for this…" he vowed. "Natsu" said Makarov. Natsu looked over to him "What is it gramps?" he asked. Makarov pointed out the doors "Laxus is hiding somewhere in the city. Find him and beat him!" he said. Natsu nodded "Don't have to tell me twice." He said running out the doors. Or at least, he attempted to. He unfortunately ran into the barrier. "W-What the…. Hey! Who put up this damn invisible wall!" he said punching the barrier. They looked up to see there was writing in the enchantment. "No stone statues or people over the age of eighty may pass through this barrier" read Natsu.

Wait… Then how could Natsu not be able to pass through? Natsu kicked the barrier "Dammit. How the hell am I supposed to save Erza!?" he yelled. He kicked the barrier again in frustration. Natsu growled "Why the hell are you doing this you bastard…." He said. He sat down in front of the barrier looking up at the status report. One by one it seemed the Fairy Tail members were going down. The waiting seemed endless.

Natsu sat down and stared up at the messages that were appearing on the barrier. A battle status report. Alzack versus Jet and Droy. Macao versus Wakaba. Everyone seemed to be fighting someone. He watched as their numbers went down one by one. 'Laxus. Why are you doing this…?' he thought. He looked back to Erza. 'Hm… I wonder if…' he thought as he was getting up and going over to Erza. He got up on the stage and looked at the mating mark on her neck. It was glowing faintly through the stone. 'The mark should weaken the spell. I just hope she'll come back soon' he thought sitting down in front of her.

Happy flew over to Natsu "Hey Natsu. What are you doing sitting in front of Erza?" he asked. Natsu looked over to Happy "I'm waiting for her to come out of the stone. Duh." he said. Happy was amazed at his answer "What!? But how is she gonna come out!?" he asked a little loudly. Natsu smiled "Because I love her." he said simply. Happy facepalmed. "Natsu this isn't a little kid's story. She's not gonna turn back with just your love." he said. Natsu pet Happy's head "You'll see what I'm talking about soon little buddy." he said.

After a while an image of Laxus appeared. He grinned "So, you old geezer, you enjoying the show?" he asked. Makarov turned around "Laxus…" he said. Natsu looked back at the projection of Laxus and growled "You!" he shouted. He got up and ran over to the projection. Laxus smirked and turned around. "Natsu. What are you doing here in this dump? You scared or something?" he taunted. Natsu scowled "You wish. As much as I'd love to kick your ass right now I can't cus I'm stuck here." he said. "What do you want…?" asked Makarov. Laxus grinned "You think of the guild mates as family right? Your children? I can imagine how you must feel seeing your precious kiddies tear themselves apart. It sucks that Natsu or Erza can't join the fray. They're the only ones who would be strong enough to take on the Thunder Legion. Ready to give in?" he asked.

A little bead of sweat formed on Makarov's head. "It's not over yet! Gray is still out there fighting!" shouted happy. Laxus laughed "Gray? You're gonna put your hopes on that loser?" he said. "The boy is stronger than you think. You shouldn't underestimate him!" said Makarov. Natsu looked over to the status report. Apparently Gray was fighting Bixlow. They all watched with tension as the battle was in progress. Unfortunately, in the end Gray had lost. Laxus smirked "Only twenty two contestants remain." he said. He started laughing then "And that punk was gonna save ya?" "You big cheater! You guys probably used some dirty trick to beat him!" said Happy outraged. Natsu growled. "So what now you old geezer? Who's gonna beat the Thunder Legion now?" Laxus asked.

"Gajeel!" said Happy. Laxus shook his head "I don't think so. He's made it pretty clear he's not gonna be in the game. Not surprising. As if that guy could care less about the guild." he said. Natsu growled. Makarov sighed "This isn't worth it… I surrender…" he said defeatedly. Natsu was in shock "What the hell gramps!? Seriously!?" he said. Laxus smirked "What's the deal? I thought you were master of the all-powerful Fairy Tail guild? You can't just give up just like that! But I suppose that if you insist, announce on the guild's loudspeaker that your turning over the guild to me." he said.

Natsu growled louder "That's dirty you bastard…" he said clenching his fists. Makarov shook with anger "I should have suspected as much …. This was your plan all along wasn't it?" he asked. Laxus grinned "You've only got an hour and a half before the statues crumble… If you want all this to end do what I said… Announce to all of Magnolia that you're taking a retirement and handing the guild over to me." he said. "What matters more to you? Your kids or your title. Choose carefully…" his projection faded away after that.

"Bastard… If he wants to be master why is he being such a wimp and not facing us himself?" he asked. Makarov sighed "It was never the title I valued…" he said. "So you're just gonna give in?" asked Natsu. Makarov shook his head "No of course not. Laxus doesn't have what it takes to become master. He's strong but he isn't trustworthy. I'd never let him become master. He doesn't have the conviction or the heart to run the guild." he said. Happy looked worriedly over to the girls "We have to do something or Laxus is going to destroy the girls. There's gotta be someone we can count on…" he said.

Then everyone heard a sort of metal crunching behind the bar. It was Gajeel! He came up from behind the bar chewing on a cup. "He was here the entire time!?" asked Natsu. Happy stared at him in awe "He's eating the dishes…" he said. "Gajeel. Will you fight for the guild?" asked Makarov. Gajeel hopped over the bar and grinned. "Yeah. Count me in. I've got a score to settle with that punk for the other day. I got this." he said. He started walking towards the doors. Then life decided to be funny again. Gajeel walked right into the barrier. The others were in shock. Natsu facepalmed "You too huh?" he said. Gajeel pressed his fist to the barrier, at a loss for words.

Makarov looked up at the status report. Fights against the Thunder Legion were breaking but the guild mates didn't stand a chance. Eventually their numbers dwindled down to two. "Don't tell me…" said Makarov. He looked back at the two dragon slayers. "You two are the only ones left!?" he yelled. Natsu blinked. "What are you talking about? Erza is gonna be in the fight too. I suppose that now I really should bring her back." he said as he started walking over to Erza. Makarov was amazed "Do what!?" he said. Gajeel smirked "Oh trust me. He could do it. Dragon mating marks are very useful. They provide strength and can even remedy some magical ailments. Though to be honest, I'm not sure if it can be done for petrification." he said.

"Mating marks?" asked Makarov. Gajeel nodded. "Dragon slayers can do it too. Not just dragons. Didn't you ever see that mark on that Erza chick's neck?" he asked. Makarov looked over at Erza. "Yes I can see it. I didn't even notice it until now." he said. Natsu got up on stage and walked up to Erza and smiled. "Well. Here goes nothing." he said. He bit over the mark and it started glowing brightly. A few seconds later there was a crack in Erza's face. Natsu pulled back and smiled. "That magic should wear off now." he said. Makarov panicked at seeing the crack in Erza's face get bigger. "Natsu! What have you done!? You broke Erza!" he shouted.

Natsu looked back at Makarov. "Is that not supposed to happen?" he asked. Makarov facepalmed "What does it look like to you!?" he said. Natsu looked back to Erza. "Uh Oh… Oh no… No no no no no no!" he said panicking as the crack got bigger. "Nooooooo! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry Erza! I'm so sorry!" Natsu got on his knees and put his hands in his hair thinking he'd just killed his mate.

But after it cracked a bit more the stone went away and Erza was back to normal. "Oh hey Erza." said Natsu smiling as he turned back to the others. "See? I told you it would work." Erza blinked and looked at herself "Natsu… Did you change me back?" she asked. Natsu smiled at her and nodded. "Natsu tell me something…" she asked. "What is it Erza?" he asked. Erza sighed "Why didn't you do this sooner?" she asked. Natsu blinked. "Oh… Well… Uh… I uh… uh…. I love you?" he said, worried about what Erza might do if he was truthful and say that the thought never crossed his mind until just now. "I love you too…. If you're not going to tell me now I'll be expecting you to tell me later." Erza said. Natsu sighed and nodded.

Makarov walked up to her "Erza do you know whats' going on?" he asked. Erza nodded. "Yes. Even thought I was stone I could still hear most of what was going on." she said. Makarov nodded. "Good. Then you know what you need to do?" he asked. Erza nodded again and started walking over to the doors. Natsu and the others followed her and they looked up at the status. Erza had been added to the numbers. "So the runes update automatically." said Erza.

Then the number went up again. "Hey! It went up again!" said Happy. Natsu thought for a moment "Who could it be?" he asked. Happy looked back to the girls "The girls are still statues so it can't be any of them." he said. Erza smirked "Aren't you guys forgetting someone? A member who's constantly away on jobs?" she asked. Natsu grinned "You mean he's here?" he asked. Makarov nodded "And just when we need him the most!" he said. Gajeel crossed his arms. "Anyone wanna tell me who this guy is?" he asked. "We're talking about a man who could very well be the strongest member of Fairy Tail. Mystogan."

(Meanwhile, in Cardia Cathedral)

Laxus looked up at the runes. "So Erza has turned back and now Mystogan is joining the fray. Including me that's all of Fairy Tail's best. Well I suppose you can't have a party without a main event." He said grinning. Things were about to get heated.

(A little author's note) Aaaaaaaaaand I have to stop here. Don't wanna make this chapter too long. Even if I did want to write out the whole arc. I'm splitting this chapter into two parts. I hope everyone will be okay with this. Erza will be in the action in the next chapter so enjoy this until I write out the next part. Anyway, let me know what you thought about the chapter in the reviews. And guys, PM me ideas for what I should do with the GaLe hint I gave in the last chapter because I'm going to have to do something with it in the next part and I wanna know what you all would like me to do with them before I decide anything. Anyway, much love and many thanks. Sit tight. Allmaster, signing off.
