Blue Eyes
Chapter Three
Besaid Island

By Angel-Goddess

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Two figures lay half submersed within the beautiful crystal clear blue waters of a beach that looked unnaturally perfect as the tranquil waves gently moved ashore back and forth the fine, golden-yellow sands. The only thing that marred the perfectly serene seawater was the light wispy breeze that skipped across its surface continuously, crinkling its previously flawless exterior.

The still form of the Zanarkand Blitzball player that was floating face down in the water suddenly shot up when he awoke due to the water running up his nose and giving him an unpleasant surprise. He gasped, the wonderful, precious air filling up his deprived lungs and he coughed out the horrible taste of salt water loudly. He shook his head; sending his wild, wet sun-bleached hair flying in all directions and letting water droplets soar right out of his locks from the rapid movement.

Seeing that he might be here for a while since there was no civilization around, Tidus let himself fall back into the water with a mild spray of water. He turned to his back, contently floating in the translucent waters and staring up into the enchanting blue sky that so reminded him of his pretty friend's eyes. Tidus kicked himself mentally; he shouldn't be thinking such things! He didn't even know her all that well!

He watched as wonderfully fluffy white clouds drifted overhead, a large puff somewhat blocking the incandescent rays of the sun's extraordinarily bright glare that imperceptibly bounced off the glassy surface of the water. The loud squawks of the seagulls that flew in the skies were the only factor that almost purged the peacefulness of this quiet environment that Tidus could've easily slept in.

His left hand felt heavy and he intuitively turned to his left to find himself staring into the beautiful sapphire depths of his companion. Only he couldn't really appreciate the beauty at the moment as unmasked fury was swimming in that sharp azure gaze that was most likely directed at him. "What?" He asked automatically, wondering why she was looking at him almost murderously. The blonde beside him gritted her teeth.

"You just dragged me under in that movement!" She hissed at him through her teeth, suddenly pulling her right hand towards her in one movement and causing him to lose his balance as his left wrist was dragged along with the motion. Tidus was submerged underwater for a few seconds before he broke to the surface, looking extremely sheepish.

"Aww, I'm sorry, okay? I forgot you were still attached to me." He apologized hastily, "Well at least we're not separated!"

Usagi sighed, regarding him with those mesmerizing cerulean orbs that he could just stare into forever. "Yeah, but you just had to rip my sleeve to do that." She countered dryly, making him laugh guiltily. It took her a while to unfastened the tight knot that he surprisingly had fixed in that awkward spot they had been in. She rubbed absent-mindedly rubbed her wrist, which was red from the pressure it had been tied.

"Don't worry, we'll get yo-" His sentence was cut short when the familiar blue marked ball came rocketing out of nowhere and knocking the poor teen over the head with precise aim and sending him back underwater from the force it had been thrown or kicked. Usagi stared in surprised stupor before hooting in amusement. His facial expression had just been classic. It was one of those, 'Kodak moments'.

He surfaced, partially dazed, before looking at the offending object that had been so ruthlessly thrown at him, "Huh? Blitzball!" He exclaimed in revelation. He looked around frantically and realised that they had been lying in the waters of a beach, and there was people around. He couldn't believe he had missed it when he had looked at his surroundings the first time.

"Hey!" The owner shouted to him, waving to gain Tidus' attention, "You okay?" He was most likely the person who had punted the ball. Flaming red/orange hair was styled in a wave-like fashion and was held out of the man's face with a. unadorned, plain blue bandana.

Tidus shot the laughing girl beside him an indignant look. Oh, he'll make sure she'll be gushing over him after this trick. He waved back to the man, calling out a greeting.

He let the ball float on the water as he dove underwater and shot up abruptly underneath the ball. The ball bounced off the crown of his head, rebounding up high into the air with his body following the movement fluently before he athletically twisted himself speedily in a mid-air back flip and booted the ball in a remarkably stunning display of skill right back to the owner who ducked to avoid the fierce, overwhelming kick that sent the ball soaring right above their heads and into the distance. The owner was taken aback; it was evident by his widened eyes.

When he landed back in the water he grinned at Usagi and winked, "How bout that? Wasn't that a cool move?" He happily crowed. His friend could only stare at him and his grin widened, "Yeah, I thought so too." He told her taking hold of his wrist and he started swimming, pulling her towards the picturesque island that had startlingly lively, lush green plants, bushes and trees. It was nothing they'd ever seen in Zanarkand. It was so … alive!

Usagi lightly yanked her wrist out of his grip. She could swim on her own! As they neared the shoreline, Usagi could clearly see how amazing the island really was. The plants that grew were well kept, even though she doubted any of the people cared for them. It was one of those things that were definitely Mother Nature's creations. Flowers flourished elegantly within the vivid green shrubbery and there were rows upon rows of them that were growing on elevated areas behind the rock builds further from the shore. It was like a natural paradise that looked virtually untouched by the destructive force that humans can sometimes carry. Nothing like this existed in Zanarkand. Everywhere you looked were man-made creations. Machines, buildings… technology. But here, it was such a refreshing change.

-.-

As soon as they stepped foot onto the sand, the men that were on the coastline crowded around them, ostensibly in awe. All of them were tanned and wearing yellow. What a colourful bunch they were.

"You wanna try that move one more time?" The red-headed man that approached them asked Tidus, his eyes looking hopeful. In Usagi's opinion, he was dressed just as strangely as Tidus. He was presumably the leader.

Like Tidus, he was tanned and seemed to like the colour yellow. Usagi couldn't understand what the fad with tanned people wearing yellow was, seeing as the colours seem to clash. He had weird arm pieces that decorated his upper body. He had a bare chest and wore dark blue shorts that were partly covered by very baggy yellow pants that had suspenders so that they wouldn't fall. To complete his odd garb, simple green sandals adorned his feet. Usagi couldn't help staring at the outrageous outfit. Talk about unearthly. She sweatdropped.

Tidus agreed heartily to the man's question. At last, something I know! He thought keenly. The others stepped back, Usagi with them, to allow him some room to perform his trick.

Tidus tossed the ball up, hitting it with his head, before jumping up into the air and flipping, kicking the ball in mid-air like he had done a little while ago. The ball zipped like a bullet towards the sea's horizon, the water underneath it parting slightly from the mach-like speed.

The teen landed on his feet, a smug smile on his face as the others gawped at him in admiration, some gasping. His eyes darted to Usagi who looked entirely bored and his grin disappeared, scratching his head slightly. She seemed to notice his gaze on her because she caught his stare and held it, a tiny smile quirking her lips as she mouthed 'show off.' to him impishly, appearing to enjoy the sour look that spread upon his face.

"You're no amateur." The leader pondered thoughtfully, "Who you play for?"

Tidus jerked his thumb towards his chest, "The Zanarkand Abes!" He boasted proudly. But realised what he had just said wasn't right when Usagi bit her lip and shook her head at him and all the men were whispering around him.

The leader looked just as taken aback as his posse. "What team you say again?" He enquired slowly, raising a brow.

Usagi sighed and resisted the urge to slap her forehead has her friend tried to make up a lame excuse.

"Uhh… I meant … forget that. I got to uhh… close to Sin and my head's all umm… foggy-like." He hastily told them uncomfortably, shooting Usagi a look, silently asking for help. She looked apologetically back at him; she had no clue what to say either. "So I don't where this place is or even where I came from." That explanation will do for now. Tidus thought grimly, completely forgetting what Rikku had warned them about.

The leader nodded, appearing to be content with the answer. His gaze landed on Usagi and he asked Tidus, "And your umm… girlfriend? Does she remember anything?"

Both Tidus and Usagi's cheeks flamed in embarrassment at the suggested question, "I'm not his girlfriend!" She exclaimed, glaring at the man as she speculated about how he even came to that conclusion. "But yes, I was near Sin too." Both her and Tidus weren't lying about being near Sin. Heck, they were probably inside Sin. But they clearly remembered everything.

"So Sin's toxin got to you." The man mused, "But you're still alive. Praise be to Yevon!"

Him and his group made an odd gesture towards them. They bent over very slightly, arms outstretched to their side, gradually moving up to make some sort of large circle before coming slowly down, never meeting. Their right hand was over their left, leaving enough space in the middle to fit a ball before bowing completely.

Usagi openly stared. Weirdoes.

Tidus nudged her very gently, "You're staring." He whispered faintly in her ear and she sweatdropped, averting her eyes whilst pushing her friend away from her and shrugging.

The man turned to his team, "Okay, back to practice!" He told them. There was instantly a flurry of activity as the men passed each other the spare Blitzballs and trying basic tricks. He held his hand out to each of them in turn, shaking their hands. "I'm Wakka," He introduced himself with a cheerful grin, "Coach and captain of the Besaid Aurochs."

"I'm Tidus, and this is my friend, Usagi." Tidus presented himself, waving a hand to the nodding blonde girl beside him that beamed brightly.

Tidus' stomach unexpectedly growled, interrupting the introductions and Usagi giggled, only to blush when her own tummy started to grumble in agreement to Tidus' belly, earning her a smirk from the Zanarkand player which she ignored.

"Oh, you hungry?" Wakka asked, blinking at them, "Okay! Back to the village, I'll get youse somethin'!" Wakka started to walk into a path between the elevated rocky platforms and the two followed him.

While Tidus contemplated whether to ask Wakka about Zanarkand, he glanced at the short blonde that slowly tailed behind him. "'Sagi, do you think I should ask about well… you know, Sin and Zanarkand?" he asked, needing advice.

She looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you asking me?" She enquired.

The tanned boy shrugged, "I don't know… I just need an opinion."

"Well, why not? What have you got to lose?" She sighed, squelching water out of her clothes and hair. It was rather cold, so she liked the fact that the sun's rays warmed her, countering the wind that blew. "We need to know more about where we are anyway. So… might as well."

"Wakka, it's true that Zanarkand was destroyed, right? A thousand years ago?" Tidus queried loudly, "So its just a big pile of rubble now, isn't it?"

Wakka took in a deep breath, releasing it slowly, "Long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big cities with machina – machines – to run 'em." Wakka started, "People played all day and let the machina do all the work." He paused. "And then, well, take a look." He waved a hand to his surroundings, gesturing for them to look.

"Sin came and destroyed the machina cities." He continued dourly, "And Zanarkand along with 'em. Yeah, that was 'bout a thousand years ago like you said."

Tidus and Usagi exchanged glances. There was no way Rikku and Wakka would both lie to them. Their stories were too similar for people that presumably haven't ever met. All this couldn't possibly be a joke anymore. Though Usagi partly wished that someone would just pop out of nowhere and just say, 'Haha! This was all a joke! We've used you as part of the casting for our latest movie but we couldn't tell you 'cause you wouldn't make your acting believable!' or something along those lines.

"If you ask me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get outta hand." Wakka told them morosely. "But what really gets me though is that we gotta suffer for what some goofballs did way back when!

"'Course we must always repent for out sins! That's important! It's just that, it's hard to keep at it sometimes, you know?" He ended his explanation with a rhetorical question before laughing to break the tense, sullen atmosphere that now surrounded the small group. He put an arm around the smaller boy's neck and dragged him down, giving him a noogie. "But you from the Zanarkand Abes – that was a good one!"

Tidus mock glared at the man who put his hands up innocently.

"Hey, I'm not saying that team never existed, ya?" He told them, "But you gotta figure, a team living in luxury like that'd be pretty soft, eh?"

Wakka abruptly ran off in front of them. "Hey, it's this way!" He called to them, waving before disappearing round the corner.

"Well, what do you think?" It was Tidus that had broken the brooding silence. "Think we're a thousand years in the future?"

"I really don't know what to think anymore." Usagi replied with a shake of her head. When she looked up, Tidus was surprised to see an amused smile alighting her pretty face, "But whatever is happening, we may as well go along for the ride! Come on, Tidus, let's make the most of our stay here. You never know when we gotta go back." The blonde giggled and ran after their guide.

"H-Hey! Wait up!"

-.-

They came to a dead end; a large lake that had an amazingly clear body flowed calmly underneath the ledge that stopped short that they currently stood on.

The large trees that grew on higher mountainous areas that surrounded the site shaded the breathtakingly charming large area, blocking off the bright glare of the sun and making it look like a dreamlike scene that only imagination can create. There were all the natural sounds of water trickling, frogs croaking, birds singing… pretty much everything that Usagi didn't believe was possible to hear and see. How she wished she had a camera! Were there even cameras in this time?

"Wow… it looks like an ideal dating spot!" Usagi couldn't help squealing out loud making the two in front of her sweatdrop.

Tidus curiously looked down at the ledge and Wakka subtly moved behind him. Tidus partly turned to see why Wakka moved, "Huh?"

Without warning, Wakka shoved the boy who let out a belated yelp. There was a large splash heard and the two still on ground knew that Tidus had reached the water. His grinning face turned to the startled Usagi, "After you." He told her, gesturing down below.

She shrugged before running and diving in with an elated cry. "Cannonball!" She shouted with glee as she tucked herself into a ball and felt herself sink deep underwater, the chilly substance engulfing her completely before she surfaced with an excited gleam in her eyes. "Oh! Let's do that again!" She yelled. Seeing Tidus' sombre look, she laughed gleefully. "Okay, maybe not."

Wakka dived and resurfaced next to them, "This way." He told them, jerking his head to the right.

-.-

"I hate swimming." Usagi complained after what she felt was ten minutes. Underneath them were colourful corals that mostly consisted of the most amazing shades of blue that she hadn't thought was possible until now. Then again, this place had the most incredible mind-blowing landscapes. A small part of Usagi desired to live here in the divine environment but she still desperately missed her home. I hope Shingo is okay… She thought, vaguely wondering about her little brother's condition. She ducked her head for a moment, opening her eyes to see the living corals that existed underneath them.

Scales of red and white flashed in the blue depths and she pulled her head out of the water in alarm. Did she just see something? She stopped swimming and scanned the area beneath her. There didn't seem to be any signs of movement. She shook her head wryly; she had been too vigilant ever since the incident back at Zanarkand. She felt something rough brush against her leg and let out a half shriek when whatever it was nipped onto her skirt and suddenly yanked under.

Wakka and Tidus turned, wondering why Usagi's scream was cut off. All they saw were bubbles rising to the surface on the spot she had previously been.

"Usagi!" Tidus shouted, fearing for the safety of his friend. He dove underneath without hesitation and discovered the offenders were in fact large fish that had uncanny piranha qualities. By the look of the rows of teeth that decorated their mouth, he figured they were meat-lovers. The struggling blonde was being pulled by her skirt towards a large chasm by one of them.

A Blitzball whizzed past Tidus, oddly expeditious even underwater. It pummelled one of the enlarged piranhas, knocking it out in one hit. Turning in surprise, Tidus smirked when he saw Wakka giving him a thumbs up.

The small school of meat-eating fish immediately realised that these hostile newcomers weren't exactly going to agree to be their lunch without a fight, so they automatically attacked.

Tidus whipped out his large sword, hoping that Usagi wouldn't run out of air before they got to her as he slashed his way effortlessly through the toothy fish heading in the direction of the blonde with Wakka assisting him from behind to keep the nipping critters away from gnawing his back.

But it seemed Usagi could take care of herself. She roughly poked the large, unblinking eyeball of her snatcher, causing it to pull away from her before she punted it with a well-aimed kick. That done, she had made her way to the surface for air.

"You okay?" Wakka asked, realizing that this fragile-looking girl could actually be pretty spiteful in battle when she wanted to be.

"Yep! No worries, it was nothing I couldn't handle." She assured him, swimming ahead.

"I got a favour to ask ya." Wakka broke the comfortable silence, directing his question to the tanned teen.

Tidus' eyes flicked to the man, seemingly knowing what the question was. "You want me on your team, right?" He guessed.

Wakka chuckled, "A major Blitz tournament is coming up. All the teams in Spira'll be there!" He answered enthusiastically, "It's so huge, I'm sure that someone there will recognise you! Then you can go back to your old team again, right? It'll be fun! What d'ya say? Come on, come on!"

Tidus turned, floating on his back as he looked up at the sky as he considered the offer. It wasn't like they'd get back home soon anyway. He glanced briefly at the blonde who was swimming in front. "Sure… why not?" He said reluctantly, catching up to her.

Wakka threw a fist up into the sky, "Whoo!! Our team is gonna rock, eh?" He asked no one in particular.

-.-.-.-.-.-

They walked through a rocky place that didn't have much grass growing on it. Nearby was a cliff that had fencing, overlooking a small town or village that had tents and a large oddly shaped building in the distance. Birds nearby tweeted cheerily. They trudged along the twisting dirt path that seemed worn from people that used it often.

"This is where I was born." Wakka explained, "I started Blitz when I was five. I joined the Aurochs at thirteen… ten years ago. Ten years… and we never won a game." He sighed, eyes slightly glazed in reminiscence.

"Well, after last year's tournament, I quit. Time seemed right." The man continued, "So, after quitting, I got this new job, ya? But every time my mind wandered, I thought about the game."

Usagi briefly wondered why on earth Wakka would reveal all this to them. She felt sorry for Wakka, who seemed to take Blitzball seriously. Ten years without a win must've been pretty hard.

Tidus nodded, "Ten years without a single win'll do that."

"My first match last year was my big chance." Wakka sighed, looking weary. "But something else was on my mind. I couldn't focus."

The Zanarkand Blitz player snorted, "Nice excuse." He answered, only to be elbowed in the ribs rather hard by a cross blonde that walked next to him.

Wakka almost sweatdropped, "Hey, hey!"

"Tidus, don't be so mean." She whispered heatedly to him, frowning. "I don't think he's got all that much self-confidence if he's been through all that…"

He sighed and nodded. Just because he felt a little sour about being taken to all sorts of places without a single idea of what was happening doesn't mean he should let out some of his pent up frustrations on Wakka. "So you want to win the next tournament – go out with a bang." He asked. When Wakka nodded, he took it as a sign to continue. "So, what's our goal?"

Wakka scratched his head, looking a little confused, "Well… I don't really care how we do. Long as we play our best. If we give it our all, I can walk away happy." He admitted.

Tidus immediately shook his head. Usagi was right. "No, no, no, no, no. If I say, 'What's our goal?', you say, 'Victory!'" Tidus chided, "When you play a tournament, you play to win!"

Usagi sweatdropped. Maybe Tidus took it a little far. Not everything was about winning.

Wakka looked incredulous, "Victory? You serious?" He asked sceptically.

Tidus nodded and was about to reply when two absurdly dressed men suddenly blocked their path when they were so close to the village. Usagi frowned. What is it with the people of this era? Didn't they have normal clothing? Truth be told, she'd be pretty embarrassed if she had to be seen wearing something like that.

"Ahh, the ones from the sea. Be on your guard. There are fiends on the road today." One of them warned while the other nodded. "It would be a shame if you survived Sin only to die in the hands of a fiend." They retreated right after that without waiting for an answer.

"Fiends?" Usagi questioned, looking up at Tidus. "Does he mean those monsters we keep encountering?"

"Uhh… I guess." Tidus shrugged, unsure. He turned to Wakka, "Who were they?"

"Luzza and Gatta – Crusaders."

Tidus looked befuddled, "Crews of what?" he repeated.

"Don't tell me you forgot that too!" Wakka exclaimed before shaking his head, "About the Crusaders, you can ask them yourself. They've got a lodge in the village."

"Here, this is my village." Wakka told them when the crossed through large wooden gates. "Besaid Village."

It was a simple looking village. It consisted mostly of large blue tents that Usagi guessed were their houses. Funny, you'd think that a thousand years into the future they'd have massive houses like in Zanarkand. Maybe even spaceships. But no, it looked as though they were going through one of those developing stages. The peculiar thing that stood out to Usagi was the large, grand temple straight ahead, seemingly at the head of the village. It was definitely something you'd see at Zanarkand by the way it was structured so well.

"That's my house over there-" He jerked his thumb second tent to the left. "-And the Crusaders lodge is over yonder." Wakka pointed to a large tent that looked different from all the others. It had wooden supports that move out from the sides to keep it upright. "Oh right, before I forget, you do remember the prayer, right?" He asked them, eyes questioning. When he saw Usagi and Tidus exchange funny glances he shook his head. "Man, that's like basics of the basics. Alright, I'll show you."

Wakka made the strange hand gestures that Usagi and Tidus had seen earlier when they had met them at the beach and had explained to them that they had been near Sin. "Go ahead, try it." He urged them and they copied obediently, albeit a little rustily. "Hey, not bad. Now you should go present yourself to the temple summoner before we eat." He nodded, retreating to his house.

"Weird prayer." Usagi remarked, heading towards the towering temple.

Tidus chuckled good-naturedly as he walked beside her, "Any Blitzball player would know that prayer. It was the Blitzball sign for victory." He elucidated.

-.-

The duo entered the temple and Usagi shivered. It had a relatively freaky feel to it. The stonewalled temple was dark and gloomy because of the lack of windows. The concrete floor had bricks arranged in a curious circular fashion that reminded Usagi of well, demonic rituals that she saw on TV. This place was just plain creepy. Huge posts held the large structure upright that had icons decorating it. The temple had a rounded structure, with platforms on the sides that had four elevated levels. There weresculptures that stood there stonily, equally spaced out so that you could see them clearly. All around were people 'praying' in front of these statues. Whatever happened to that commandment, 'Thou shalt not worship any other Gods before me'?

Near the front were a set of stairs that ascended with a single door at the very top that had a medieval looking flag hanging above it, proudly displaying a crest with the colours of red and gold. The only think that lit the temple's murky appearance were two brightly burning flames that danced atop a stand on either side of the staircase. But that only really added to the eerie feeling because of the numerous shadows that it cast upon the area, making the shadows of the statues appear to move around. Usagi sweatdropped, how scary…

There were four larger statues, much larger than lifelike and were positioned so that there were two on each side of the flight of steps. Usagi guessed that those four played a much larger role than the tiny icons that littered the sides of the temple.

"This is a little disturbing." Usagi whimpered, looking around.

Tidus nodded in agreement as he curiously approached one of the larger statues of a man dressed in regal-looking robes as he held a large staff, intrigued.

"Ten years have passed since Lord Braska became High Summoner and finally we received a statue for our temple." A mild voice of an old man commented behind Usagi.

Turning around, Usagi inspected the balding man. He looked to be the priest of the temple or something. Clad in sleeveless robes of orange and blue with a white, long-sleeved shirt underneath it.

"What's a High Summoner?" She heard Tidus ask.

There was a gasp from the people inside the temple as they stared at Tidus, whispering amongst themselves. Usagi almost scowled a their attitude. So what if they didn't know? It didn't hurt to ask a simple question, did it?

"We got too close to Sin." Usagi excused. There was another wave of sharp intakes of breaths and she sighed.

The robed man 'prayed' for them. "The summoners are practitioners of a sacred art, sworn to protect the people of Yevon. Only a chosen few become summoners, who call forth entities of great power: the aeons. The aeons hear our prayers and come down to us. They are the blessing of Yevon." He answered Tidus' question.

Usagi nodded slowly, trying to comprehend everything that this man was saying. This was one really weird place. She wanted to go back home now! She was starting to feel a little homesick too. "Tidus, let's go." She prompted, tugging at the boy's sleeve.

-.-

"Hey, sorry, guys, no time for lunch yet. You guys should take a nap … but I only got one bed, ya?" Wakka looked sheepish as he scratched the back of his head, looking at his bed.

Usagi waved it off, "I'll take the floor." She decided, shrugging.

"No, it's okay. I'll take the floor." Tidus offered.

"No, no. I insist, you take the bed. I'll take the floor." Usagi persisted.

Tidus folded his arms and shook his head stubbornly, "What kind of man sleeps on the bed, when there's a woman on the floor?" He asked.

A small smile lit Usagi's face at his point. How sweet. To think that this once egotistical Blitzball player was actually offering her the bed instead of taking it for himself. "Alrighty then, I'll take the bed!" She agreed wholeheartedly.

Tidus sweatdropped as he lay down on the floor. Guess that line only worked in movies where the girl would feel bad for the guy and ask him to share the bed with her out of compassion. He felt his face warm up suddenly. What was he thinking!? Geez. He wasn't supposed to be thinking about his friend that way! He turned his back to the blonde so that no more bad thoughts would pop up.

-.-

Tidus shot up from a dream. Well, it wasn't exactly a dream, more like an old memory. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. It had felt so real … He shook his head to clear the thoughts and stood up, looking around.

Usagi was still sleeping. He smiled fondly at the younger girl and brushed part of her fringe away from her face before pulling back as though he had just been burnt when she shifted slightly. What on earth was he doing? He balled his hands into fists as he turned away in embarrassment. Why was he so shy anyway? It wasn't like she was awake. It wasn't like him to be shy either. Strange.

Where was Wakka? Frowning, he left the tent to look for the older man but not without giving the sleeping girl a quick glance.

-.-.-.-.-.-
