{ the last time i freaked out, i just kept looking down
i st-st-stuttered when you asked me what i'm thinkin' bout }

alix tapped her pen on the table, unable to think of what to write next. if only lucie would come through and write that damn song for her! alix wasn't much good at writing on her own, and after madii had quit the band last year, writing a song was pretty much impossible. still, she continued to try, mainly because she didn't want to get labelled as someone who couldn't write her own music.

pressing pause on her ipod, alix stretched her arms out in front of her and sighed. all this thinking was giving her a headache. she'd yet to tell her cousins that she was back, and sven was having the night off, seeing as he knew where alix was and he knew that there was hardly anyone in the school. sometimes, alix thought sven took his job far too seriously. scrolling through her songs after she'd finished stretching, alix decided to listen to a new paramore song she'd stumbled across when surfing itunes.

getting up, alix closed her folder and turned around, only to drop her folder when she bumped into someone. all her music sheets, half written lyrics, everything came flying out.

"hey!" she shouted, crouching down to pick up her papers before anyone could steal them. "watch it!"

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian was still laying in bed even if it was passed noon. He was just too lazy to get up and do his morning duties. He kept his gaze on the window across his bed, looking to see if there were any signs of a possible sunny day, but it was hopeless. The sky was deep gray and it seemed that the time couldn't be told while looking at it. Maybe that this is the reason that forced Seb to stay in bed, but whatever the weather was, he needed to get up and take a shower.

After stretching his arms tiredly, he squeesed his fists just to feel the ache of woking up with no strenghts at all. He jumped out of his bed, trying his best not to fall, and fixed his falling boxers on his hips. He walked with absolutely no motivation to the door of the bathroom of his dorm and closed it behind him.

About an hour later ((bet he fell asleep lolz)) he finally got out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, and made his way to his drawer. He picked a pair of tight dark blue pants, a pink Glamour Kills tee and some boxers and socks. He quickly got dressed and walked to the mirror. He shrugged at the sight of his messy wet hair, but just decided to let it dry this way. After all, every boy in this school was trying to get perfectly the 'I just got out of bed' hairstyle... He was the best, no doubts about it.

He yawned one last time and finally walked out of the room he liked to call his heaven. He looked around just to see that he was once again alone in the hallway, and made up his mind about where to go at. He chose the Student Lounge, the one place where he could possibly see some friends. He was damn right, since as he entered, he collided with his friend Alix.

"Hey calm down you little impatient!" He said and grinned toothily at his best friend. "You really look like someone that didn't get beauty rest, right? Look at me.. I'm just so gorgeous.. you should try it..." He added with irony and just kept his annoying grin on.

[alix baillard }]

alix shot a withering look at sebastian and slammed her folder on the table, trying to appear as annoyed as possible. she hadn't seen sebastian in so long ; it took all her self control not to throw herself at him and hug him half to death. "no, i haven't had much sleep lately because lucie still hasn't finished that song, my mother's still blaming me for my father running away when i was two, even my brother's ignoring me, i got my tongue pierced and it fucking hurts like hell, and, as if things could get any worse, i have my first solo gig next saturday and i'm supposed to have written four new songs. i only have half of one." alix ranted, counting off the things she needed to do on her hand. she sighed, breathing out sharply through her nose. "but yes, i have to agree, you're looking very scrumptious this morning," she grinned, dropping the act and flicking her blonde hair out of her eyes.

she hadn't been to cha in so long that she'd almost forgotten her way around. she couldn't even remember why her mother had sent her here in the first place - not that she cared. her mother could go to hell for all she cared. "how're you?" she asked, running forward and hugging him, thankful that she'd at last had that growth spurt she needed. she was just under five seven now, instead of the pitiful five two she'd been last year. "i haven't seen you in an age."

looking over out the window, alix pulled a face as she saw the rain. no matter how many times she flew over from toulouse to new york, she couldn't get used to the rain. she absolutely hated it. it hardly ever rained in toulouse ; why couldn't she have stayed there?

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian just kept on nodding his head while Alix was ranting about how her life was miserable. He couldn't help but smile when she mentionned her piercing. He could have bet on it. It was obvious that she would have either a tattoo or a piercing after all that time without seeing him. After all, she was now a rockstar! He decided not to mention all of that glam part of her life, to not piss her off. At least she was the same good ol' Alix and as long as she was, nothing else mattered.

Lost in his thoughts, he snapped out of them when he felt a strong hug on him. He grinned even widder and wrapped his strong arms around her little body, just so happy to be with her right at that moment. It's been a while since he's had a crush on her. He just felt that she would never love him back so he kept it all secret. She's LIXXI after all! He let go of her and put a strand of her hair on the back of her ear. "What about I help you with your songs and then you talk to me about what's going on lately in your life, all with a cup of hot chocolate and under a comfortable blanket?" he asked and made his famous puppy pout.

He couldn't help but notice how much she changed. Of course they IMed from times to times, but it's really been a while since he last saw her. She was blonder, taller and just overall prettier. She seemed to have a new way to do her makeup and she was just looking perfect, even though she said that she was tired. It didn't really show. Maybe that the spotlights have some good effect on the skin... Once again, he was lost in his thoughts.

[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[alix baillard }]

alix smiled as she felt sebastian push her hair behind her ear. ever since she'd dyed it, it had been giving her grief. it never stayed where she wanted it to stay, and it more often than not made her look like she had bed head, which was usually a good thing, but when you're a popstar, it's not that good.

she now noticed how much taller she'd grown. the last time she'd seen seb, she'd only just come up to the middle of his chest ; now she was above his chin. this was good. alix had no idea why, but this was a good thing.

"What about I help you with your songs and then you talk to me about what's going on lately in your life, all with a cup of hot chocolate and under a comfortable blanket?"

alix laughed, before looking up and blowing her fringe out of her eyes again in frustration. "i'd love some help, but i'd like to try and struggle on my own first. and i'm not allowed hot chocolate any more, which is really annoying seeing as i've been craving it all summer. i only got back the other day and it's killing me to see so much chocolate." alix smiled and looked back at sebastian. "how bout a film instead? i usually get inspiration from that,"

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian raised an eyebrow at her in questionement "Uhh no more hot chocolate? Why so? Your agent's worried about having an obese star to deal with? Pshh you'd be gorgeous with a little fat on that tinny belly" he said and poked her stomach with a smile. "But I say yes for the movie. Can you AT LEAST eat low fat and no calories popcorn? If you can't I'm going to beat up the one that doesn't let you..." he added and just grabbed her hand, leading her to the huge television of the lounge.

He gently sat her on the couch and walked to the side of the room were there were drawers filled with DVDs. "What do you want to watch, little bumblebee? Action, romance, horror, fight?" he asked while looking at the titles so quickly that he wasn't really reading anything.

It was a total burst of energy that he got in seconds. Seeing Alix had such an effect on him and it was probably because he was happy and excited to finally get to see her. After all, back when they were really close, they never really hung out together that much. They just talked and they had their own circles of friends. It was like a renewal for Seb.

[alix baillard }]

alix smiled. "i'm not allowed sugar. i get too hyper and then i don't come down from the high for days. apparently. but y'know, fuck my agent. toffee popcorn please." she said, resting her feet on the table in front of her. she crossed them at the ankle, her sparkly socks peeping out of the bottom of her dark blue jeans. "and are there any comedies in there? i feel like a laugh," alix said, scrutinising her talons nails.

she was well aware that just by seeing her, she'd managed to make seb seriously hyper. it was going to be fun trying to talk to him. but then again, saying that, alix was going to be hitting the sugar pretty hard. she was sure there was still some diet coke in the mini fridge in the corner of the room. she hadn't had anything other than vegetables and stuff she'd usually hate in months, so now that she had the chance to gorge herself silly on sugar, she was going to do it.

"and i doubt you could beat up michael. he's six foot five and about two hundred pounds. he doesn't like it when i argue with him though, cuz it usually means that i win." alix looked up. "oooh! put that one on!"

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian just gave her a raised eyebrow as an answer and laughed softly. "Sure, my queen. Do you want some chocolate poured on your popcorn, too? It's so great... Yumm" he said while looking into the drawer for the comedies that could possibly be in there. He moved his head to the left in a quick movement, his hair falling down his eyes once again.

After all, Seb didn't care to get Alix high on sugar. He was pretty excited himself so it would be great to not be the only one that can't stop chatting or the only one with a quick heartbeat... And with a good comedy on, it's always great to make jokes and just be hyper. Makes the movie 10 times better.

He smiled when he picked a DVD box with Zoolander written on. "Pfff I could beat your manager aaaaanytime. I have those super powers remember? I could make him melt with either my puppy eyes or my super duper natural hotness. You know that gays love me... and to be the manager of a popstar like you, you can't be straight haha. Your songs are waaay too cheesy" He added and rolled his eyes. He walked to the DVD player and put the movie on, running to sit with Alix. "Go get the popcorn honey... I'll pause it. I did the hard job, now you have to work a little, unless you've became a diva.." he added with a wink.

[alix baillard }]

alix pulled tongues at him, knowing he was teasing her now about the chocolate. she'd kill for some chocolate, but she knew that michael would find out that she'd had it one way or another. she could get hyper without chocolate anyway. air could make her hyper half the time, especially if she was with a person that managed to make her laugh in her every waking second that she was with him. she wondered whether that was simply because seb was her best friend in the whole entire world - and one of the few people who hadn't changed when alix did - or whether she liked him more than that.

wrinkling her nose at seb, alix shook her head. sebastian was her best friend. she wasn't allowed to think of him like that. she couldn't think like that . . . could she? no, she bloody well couldn't, now shut up, alix and concentrate.

"Pfff I could beat your manager aaaaanytime. I have those super powers remember? I could make him melt with either my puppy eyes or my super duper natural hotness. You know that gays love me... and to be the manager of a popstar like you, you can't be straight haha. Your songs are waaay too cheesy,"

alix feigned offence and threw a cushion at him. "my songs are not cheesy," she said, battering him with another cushion. "they're brilliant. they get me to number one, don't they?" alix grinned and gave up attacking him. she flopped back down on the sofa and burst out laughing when seb sat down next to her.

"Go get the popcorn honey... I'll pause it. I did the hard job, now you have to work a little, unless you've became a diva.."

"pfft. me? a diva? you've been away from me too long, maytee." alix laughed, poking seb in the side. she bounced back up from the couch and padded across the room to where she knew there was a pack of butterkist popcorn hidden somewhere.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Pshh. She really has the cheesiest and cutest songs ever.. he thought and felt his cheeks go a little warmer. "You bet that your songs are not cheesy? We'll ask some people later.. and let me remind you that you're in the top 10 of the best young pop artists in J-14.. isn't that cheesy? haha of course nooot" he added and winked at her. "Oh and let me add to your argument that Jessice Simpson also made it to number one.. but she's not a reference isn't she?" Seb said and just kept his machiavelous grin on.

When Alix stood up to get her popcorn, he couldn't stop his eyes to totally chek her out. She was beautiful, no denying to that. She was also sexy in that weird kind of way. After all, he couldn't think that she was sexy.. it was kind of forbiden. You know, one of those bestfriend-rules... But of course, Seb wasn't able to follow rules..

So after a short brainstorm with no result, Seb just stood up and walked to Alix, wrapping his arms around her tiny waist to hug her. "I soooo missed you dahhling. Even my mom's been asking why you couldn't come and see us. I told her that you turned into a big headed star haha. She believed me" he said and grinned goofily. He grabbed the bag of popcorn from her hands and made her a ign to go back to the couch. "I'll be the kind knight, my lady. Go sit" he ordered gently.

[alix baillard }]

alix was rummaging around in the cupboards when she felt two hands slip around her waist. she knew for a fact that they were seb's, but she couldn't help the little squeak that came through her lips. she was going to hit him for the jessica simpson reference. she was nothing like jessica simpson, so that comparison had been unneeded. she did have to admit though, her being in j-14 was slightly cheesy, though she'd never admit it.

"I'll be the kind knight, my lady. Go sit"

alix pulled a face at seb - or as well as she could, seeing as he had a grip on her waist and she couldn't exactly move. "you're a freak," she accused, grinning at him. she tried her hardest not to think about how seb's hands on her waist was making her feel. she shouldn't be feeling like that anyway - he was her best friend and alix had no wish whatsoever to change that . . . didn't she?

pushing the thought away with as much force as she could muster, alix swatted seb's hands away and threw the popcorn at him, giggling her head off. she had no idea why she was thinking like this all of a sudden - maybe not seeing him for almost a year had changed the way she thought about him. wandering back to the couch, alix flopped down and curled her feet underneath her, wondering if she'd have time to run back to her dorm and get her slippers. sven had expressly forbidden her to leave the common room, but she wouldn't be gone for long.

bugger it. i'll get seb to sit on them.

"you may think it, but i'm not a 'big-headed-star'. i simply have a lot of stuff to do. i pretty much missed all of last year because of that stupid tour michael made me do. oooh! that reminds me!" alix jumped up again and ran back up to seb. she pulled a small figurine out of her pocket and gave it to seb. "present!"

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

"Yeah well.. Next time you're busy touring, I expect to have some VIP passes... No one back home believed me when I say that I knew you! I looked like a freak to all of those girls!" he said and shook his head. Bah. A girl reference wasn't clever at all Seb. Noooot at all.

He grabbed the little figurine from her hand and looked at it with a grin. "Awwe Lix.. Thanks!" he said looking at the mini microphone for kids with Alix's face on it. "You really are a popstar, aren't you? I just can't get it through my head... Just so weird haha" He added sighed happily.

"Go sit now, stop running around like a psycho freak filled with sugar. You haven't touch a single popcorn yet since you just threw them at my face, poor thing" Sebastian said and grabbed a huge metalic bowl from under the counter. He poured what was left of the bag into it and threw the greasy paper in the garbage. "Why don't you start writing while my hot bod and I just keep on cooking damn popcorn for your face?" he asked while making a mess out of the place while searching for another bag.

[alix baillard }]

"haha, you're so fun-"

actually, that's not that bad an idea.

what the fuck are you on about? i can't write a song about seb! he's my best friend!

and?

alix frowned slightly, chewing the inside of her cheek. now she thought about it, it really wasn't a bad idea . . . how would she explain it to seb that it was about him? did she even need to tell him? not until after she'd recorded it, at least.

shaking her head and trying to make it look as if she hadn't just been thinking about him, alix turned her concentration back to sebastian and grinned at him. "but i am a psycho freak filled with sugar," she said, turning back to sit on the couch. "it's why you love me." she curled her feet back under her and rested her head on her hands, watching seb cook the popcorn. she remembered that seb had said that he couldn't get over the fact that alix was now a popstar ; alix still hadn't managed to get over that fact herself.

alix sat up when a lyric popped into her head.

'i got my sight set on you, and i'm ready to aim . . .' it could work, i guess.

alix wasn't the best song writer in the world, but when something clicked, the lyrics came through thick and fast. she itched to write the lyrics down before she forgot them, but she knew that if she tried, seb would be nosy - as per usual - and try to see them before she'd finished.

"come onnn," she whined, grinning at him. "i'm hungry, and bored."

'i have a heart that will never be tamed.' bloody well got that right.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

"Hey la diva. Stop whining! If you want the best popcorn EVER than just sit and reliax and wait. I told you to write! It's not my fault if you can't wait for three bloody minutes" he said and winked at her, unfolding the popcorn bag. He opened the microwave and tossed it in, pressing the Pop Corn button and walking to sit on the chair to wait.

He always had to stay there for a few minutes. Just think. He couldn't understand why he loved her so much.. He just couldn't do that to her, though. He'd break their friendship... It was obvious. It was some dangerous game... The kind of game that Sebastian Tremblay can't get away of. Trouble. He had to think about the pros and the cons of all his feelings.. Losing his bestfriend would be hell for him, but what if she possibly liked him back? Bestfriend + Lover sounds great... But friendship oftenly lasts longer than love...

BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Seb jumped in surprise and scratched the back of his head timidly "It's ready! Go get us a blanket while I finish this and then we can watch it" he said and tried to get back to his cool attitude. Hard. He fixed his annoying bangs once again before opening the hot bag. "Ouch" he muttered to himself when he burned his fingers. After two other tries, he was done with the popcorn and he walked to the couch.

[alix baillard }]

alix rolled her eyes, though she didn't really mind. maybe she could sneak a quick go on her keyboard whilst hunting for a blanket. would she have time? uncurling herself from her position on the couch, alix was halfway through the door when she remembered her music. running back to grab her folder, she hugged it to her. it wasn't that she didn't trust seb - she'd trust him with her life, if she had to - but she didn't like people seeing her work half finished. it was just a stupid paranoia thing alix had.

"yes master," she laughed, running from the room. she detoured via her dorm and hid her folder under her bed, before grabbing the blanket off of it and running back to the student lounge. sebastian would probably make a face at her when he realised that she'd grabbed her own blanket, but right now she was too pre-occupied to think of anything else. she was thinking of the music to go with her lyrics, so was completely out of her mind when she walked back into the room.

"OW. BUGGER. OW MERDE!" alix said, dropping the blanket and clutching at her foot.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote] [/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Meanwhile, Sebastian was sitting on the couch, waiting for her to come back. He still hadn't made up his mind. He just didn't know how to react to it. What to do?
-Surprise her with a gift
-Give her some obvious hints as his unstoppable love
-Hug her and cuddle with her as much as possible
-Fake virginity and asking her for help as to how to do
-Do nothing at all.

He just couldn't do anything... It would break either his or her heart. So he just sat there, his mind wandering in ridiculous and absurd thoughts. "Hurrrrry, Zoolander can't wait! I wanna see GLITTERS!" he said and yawned right after.

He then heard a loud yell from Alix and instantly stood up, running to the stairs. "You okay?" he asked her kindly while taking the blanket from her hands. "Oh my... cute blanket haha.. Barbie right? Wow.. I don't know if we should cover ourselves with that one.. I'll look a little gay.." he said and pouted.

[alix baillard }]

"no, i'm bloody not okay!" alix said, hopping on the spot and noticing that the barbie blanket had disappeared from her hands. "owww," she whined, wrinkling her nose. "i hate being so damn clumsy," she said, letting go of her foot and putting it down on the floor. alix stubbed her toe so many times during the day, you wouldn't have thought that it would hurt, but it bloody well did.

trying to get over her mini diva tantrum - next time, she was wearing shoes - alix flicked her hair out of her face agitatedly and turned her attention back to sebastian. "oh, don't worry," she said, smiling at him and walking back into the lounge. "you can pull it off. you couldn't look gay even if you tried," she laughed, holding the door open for him.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian thanked her for opening the door, with a nod of his head, and burst out laughing. "What if I'm hiding some dark secret? You never know.. I mean.. Last time I got someone in my a** it was AMAZING.. and he was SOOOO hot and he made me moan all night long.. you should have seen his .." but he got interrupted because he fell on the little table in front of the couch.

"Okay. No more dumb obscenities. I can't even finish them duuh" he said and shrugged while standing up. He sat on the couch and wrapped himself in the blanket. He couldn't help but stalkishly smelled it subtly. Okay. He was in love... no denying to that. DAMN he needed to stop that. Why not really be gay after all...

[alix baillard }]

"okay, eww," alix said, smiling and jumping onto the couch. "besides, not even you could keep a secret that big. you would have told me like a shot," she grinned, once again sitting on her feet and laughing as sebastian fell over. she knew she probably shouldn't laugh at him, seeing as he hadn't laughed at her when she'd been her normal clumsy self and stubbed her toe - which was still hurting - but it was easier to laugh at him than to let herself think about seb in a way which was very not friendlike.

"Okay. No more dumb obscenities. I can't even finish them duuh,"

alix laughed again and pulled the blanket towards her, huddling up into it. she hated being cold, she really did.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

The only thing that Seb could answer to her being that close, was once again, a stupidity. "Eww you're so close to me. Move about a meter or so.." he said and made a disgusted face. Yeah. He can't be serious at all... Even if sometimes it sounds mean.

He has just always been that way. He knew that right now, he was playing with fire. It's no good and it's pretty much a warning that he was trying to send himself. He couldn't stay serious around her or else some details would spill. He knew it way too well. By doing mean jokes, maybe that he could convince himself to feel differently. He just had to stay focused on something else.

The only thing was that right now, he was worried that he maybe offended her. Of course he was joking, but he sounded quite serious and he even moved a little from her. At least, maybe that she would think he was kind of disgusted by being that close to her since she's his bestfriend and not his girlfriend.. Maybe?

[alix baillard }]

alix raised an eyebrow at seb and reached over to get the dvd remote. she had no idea what sebastian had meant by doing that, but she wasn't going to question him. she'd learnt long ago that to question him was to pretty much get your head bitten off, or to have it mangled into a mush when he tried to explain something that made sense to only him. she smiled slightly, her mind half on sebastian and half on the song that was currently writing itself in her head. she didn't know what would happen if she actually sang it and sebastian asked her what the hell that was all about. she wasn't even sure if she'd finish the song yet, to be honest.

pulling her knees up and resting her chin on them, alix smiled as the opening credits came rolling up on the screen. it had been so long since she was just herself with another person that she'd almost forgotten how to act. nowadays, if she wasn't at home, she was either singing on stage or being mobbed by fans. it didn't leave much time for friends.

'i got my sight set on you, and i'm ready to aim
i have a heart that will never be tamed
i knew you were something special when you spoke my name
now i can't wait to see you again'

alix pulled a face. she still had to sort the music out before she thought of any lyrics.

"so, what did you do in the year that you didn't have me around to distract you?" she asked, grinning.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Sebastian Tremblay]

Sebastian bit his lip, thinking. Would he really tell her about what he did? After she left he actually kind of gotten into trouble... He started to drink as before and even to drug himself up at private clubs and stuff like that. It's not because he was sad she was gone.. He never really stopped his bad abuses. She just wasn't there to stop him or to change his mind by doing something else. His stepfather wasn't particularly charmed by it all. He kept it secret from his mother but if he keeps on going back to his old fantoms, it's going to cost him more than just a ticket to the reform school.

"Well... I saw friends. Friends you wouldn't approve though.. But don't worry, now that you're back it's pretty much going to stop" he said and looked into her eyes, shame glowing from his. He couldn't lie to Alix. It was just too hard and she would probably get to know the truth anyway. Those bastard keep on calling on his cellphone and she has always had the habit to answer it before he could. "But truthfully, let's talk about what I will be doing now that you are here to distract me.. okay? Waaay happier than my abuses stories" he said and gave her a weak smile.

[alix baillard }]

{ the last time i freaked out, i just kept looking down
i st-st-stuttered when you asked me what i'm thinkin' bout }

alix glared at him. she'd never approved of his drug usings, and she hated it when she wasn't there, because she knew that seb would eventually get back into them and there was nothing she could do about it. short of dragging him on tour with her, there was absolutely nother that she could do, and she hated it. seb knew that she hated it, but yet he went ahead and did it anyway the minute her back was turned. half the time, alix felt like she couldn't trust seb; if he abused drugs when she wasn't looking, who was to say that he wouldn't do it when she was around?

"but truthfully, let's talk about what i will be doing now that you are here to distract me.. okay? waaay happier than my abuses stories."

alix flicked another angry glance at him. "don't you dare think for one minute that i'm letting you get away with this," she muttered, drawing her knees up and sitting on her feet, all thoughts of her songs gone. "i've told you a million times how much i hate you doing drugs, and i'm getting sick of how many times i'm having to repeat it. i swear to god, seb, the next time i hear about you and drugs, then i will never speak to you again. are we clear?" alix was angrier than she had been in a long time. she didn't want to have to deal with this right now.

sighing, alix flicked her hair out of her face. she didn't wait for an answer; she knew that seb wouldn't want to lose her, in the same way she didn't want to lose him. but if she had to, she would walk away. for a small amount of time, at least.

"well. now that i'm back and staying for pretty much all year, you can start by not hogging the popcorn," alix reached over for the bag a small smile slipping up onto her face.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]
