Summary: "Have you noticed anything weird about Auron?"
"You mean apart from everything?"
Thanks: All thanks and love go to jilliferium for checking my accuracy and to heyheyrenay for the beta and for reassuring me that it's not as terrible as I thought. :D
Notes: I confess; I am not an Aurikku girl. The pairing is one that I don't actually understand, and um can't write as anything more than hinting? That said, this was a fun idea to play with, so I hope it balances it out and you like your gift!
"What're you doing?"
The Al Bhed girl smiled up at him, bright and kinda embarrassed, scrubbing at her face with a rag and completely missing the smudge of grease on her cheek. How she managed not to stand on any of her tools as she wriggled away from the airship's engine... "Well, sand isn't good for engines, and I thought that maybe I should clean them out before they get clogged and stuff, because I'll bet Brother forgot to and..."
Tidus let her talk, most of it washing over him in a babble of Rikkuness. It was kinda comforting, if he was honest, to have Rikku chattering at him. After Zanarkand, he needed that. It was… Almost normal, even with the soft metallic echo, and he'd never have thought he'd say that about anything in Spira. Especially after --
"Tidus, are you listening?"
The blond blinked, and found Rikku peering up into his face, hands on her hips and the grease still on her face.
"Sure I am! You were telling me about the engine and -- er -- and then you said…You said…" From the look on her face he'd missed something pretty big. Oops? "… What were we talking about again?"
Rikku huffed and threw the rag at his face. "I said, do we know where we're going yet?"
"Oh, yeah. We're going back to Macalania Woods -- you remember that mirror we got when we won that Chocobo Race? Lulu and Auron were saying that we could do something to it there." He managed not to scowl as he said it, but there must've been something wrong with his face because now the blonde girl was frowning slightly, head tilted to one side.
"Don't you wanna go? I won't go chasing after the butterflies again, I promise!"
"It's not that." Tidus took a deep breath. He really needed to tell one of the others. It wouldn't surprise him if Lulu'd figured it all out already -- that was the sort of thing she'd do, especially the part where she didn't tell anyone -- but he couldn't imagine telling Wakka and Yuna. Not about this. "It's just… You noticed anything weird about Auron?"
"You mean apart from everything?" Rikku blinked and bounced away, crossing one arm across her skinny stomach and proceeding to stalk back towards him with what was probably supposed to be a fearsome glare on her face. "I'm Auron and I could stop Sin in its track by glaring at it!" She'd tried to lower her voice to Auron's growl, but it didn't work -- her trying not to giggle probably wasn't helping. "And -- and I wear my sunglasses all day and night -- and --"
"And he's dead."
It just came out. He hadn't meant to say it like that -- but then, he wasn't sure how he'd meant to say it at all. Or even whether he should've. He… He felt dizzy, as though actually saying the words aloud made them real. Made it real. Rikku was staring at him, mouth open and eyes wide.
"That's not funny."
She thought he was joking? About something like that? "I'm serious. He's dead. He's an unsent, like Seymour."
Rikku shook her head, then starting pacing up and down the room, picking her way through tools and rags and scraps of metal without even looking. "He can't be -- "
"Remember what Seymour said when we were in Guadosalem -- something about being 'keen to the scent of the Farplane,' whatever that means -- "
"You believe Seymour?!"
"I believe Auron."
Rikku stared at him, lost and confused. "But -- but it's Auron. Who could've -- "
So he told her. What Auron had said, and more importantly what he hadn't said. How he couldn't have told the others because he didn't trust them -- well, he did, but after Wakka's reaction to finding out Rikku was an Al Bhed he didn't want to risk it -- not to tell Yuna and try to get her to Send him, legendary guardian or not.
About half way through, Rikku folded her arms and turned away to look out the porthole, shoulders hunched. She didn't say anything, and that was the worst part -- If Rikku didn't believe him -- if she was gonna treat this like she'd treated his story about Zanarkand, with the sort of affectionate unreasonableness she'd shown back then --
"He should've told us before we killed her," she said finally, her voice was soft and wobbly, like she was gonna start crying. Tidus' definition of "the worst part" changed instantly. He hadn't thought -- and there it was, that little voice that sounded like Auron. 'How's that any different from usual?' -- he hadn't thought that it might be as much of a shock to her as it was to him, not when everyone else seemed to know everything when he didn't. "So now what're we gonna do? Go to Farplane and kick her butt?"
"Hey, I'd go." Tidus stepped forwards, and tentatively put his hands on her shoulders, like she'd hit him if he startled her. She was shaking, but she didn't hit him. "It's --" Okay, he was going to say. It's okay. But it wasn't -- Auron was dead, had been dead the whole time he knew them, and nothing could make that okay, not even Auron being so matter-of-fact about it.
He couldn't say it. It'd come out like Wakka's stupid "festival fireworks."
"It's not right," Rikku finished for him, and her faint reflection in the porthole glass was frowning. "It's -- it's not fair."
Then the blonde was gone, the door hissing shut behind her, and Tidus was left reaching out to air. He looked at his outstretched hand, then scratched at the back of his head sheepishly.
It probably wasn't fair of him to spring that one on her either, but nothing in Spira was fair.
The deck wasn't the safest place to be, not when Brother was driving anyway, but right now Rikku wanted to be out in the open air where she could get the wind to blow stupid Tidus' stupid Auron's dead rubbish out of her head and far away.
Auron couldn't be dead. He was a legendary guardian -- the legendary guardian, and hello? You couldn't kill a legend!
Besides, apart from the legend-ness and the sunglasses and walking around with one arm out of his sleeve and the grumpiness and the not letting Rikku practice her stealing on him, Auron was normal.
Okay, so that was a bad word to describe Auron, but.
He -- he bled all over when really lucky and sneaky fiends hit him! Okay, so when he got knocked out the blood flow was really slow to about non-existent, and it sent Yuna and Lulu into fits because they always thought that him not bleeding right meant the fiends had killed him, but once he was up and about again he was okay!
("Why are you still here sir?")
And he was warm. When they'd been through Macalania and Gagazet, she'd nearly frozen to death -- her shorts were fine for wearing beneath her diving suit, which was why she wore them, but as soon as she realised that she couldn't feel her legs she'd thought I KNEW I should've brought that suit along -- and Auron had waited until no one was looking and wrapped his coat around her.
Well, that made it sound nice. He'd actually tossed it over her shoulders and told her to stop lagging behind, but it was close enough, right? Anyways, the coat had been warm from his own body heat, and… Dead people weren't warm. Dead people didn't share things and scold you and tell you stories about things you'll never see and tell you to get out of their pockets and make you keep going -- keep walking -- keep steering you the way you didn't want to go. Dead people might be able to make your heart turn over like it was doing a weird, twisty cartwheel, but it probably wasn't the same way Rikku's did.
(Dead people don't get married and kiss summoners who're trying to send them either, you thought of that one?)
Auron couldn't be dead because Rikku didn't want him to be dead. Right? Right.
The Al Bhed plunked herself down onto the sunwarm metal and stared at the clouds scooting past until her eyes started hurting. Thinking-but-not-thinking. She hadn't been up here since that time they were going to save Yunie from stupid Seymour
("He's an unsent, just like Seymour.")
and they got to slide down the anchor lines. That was something they should all do again. Mainly because her and Tidus were too busy doing flips from chain to chain and not getting shot to actually pay attention to Auron and Lulu grinding down with them, and that was something she would've paid to see. Okay, with someone else's money, but she'd pay.
The ramp's door whooshed open, and Rikku grinned. It'd be Rin, she figured even without turning round -- if you thought about gil too loudly when you were in the same building or city and probably if you were on the same island, he'd show up and try to charm it out of you.
Maybe they could do a swap, like they used to when Rin would still bring back candies and she wasn't caught up in trying to save summoners. She could customise some of his merchandise maybe, and then he could help her find something ticky and nasty to go in Tidus' and Wakka's cabin.
Or maybe he'd do her a deal on weapons, but then she'd end up looking at the katanas again and thinking about how strong Auron must be to swing them around like they didn't weigh anything and Rin would give her that smile and ask if she wanted to buy it for someone. Rin was always too good at dismantling thinking-not-thinking things, doing it almost as fast and well as Rikku herself taking apart a machina. Still, it'd pass the time until they got to Macalania, and if she was concentrating on the customisations she wouldn't be thinking that about things being not right and not fair and not true.
(You know what's weird? Auron probably wanted Yuna to get the Final Aeon about as much as you did.)
"Um… Auron?"
The only response she got was that he lifted his head slightly to look at her. As always, it was enough for her, even when she was tugging at her gloves and looking as though she would dearly love to duck into his blind side so she didn't have to try to meet his gaze.
(Tidus used to use his blind side as a way to hide his tears -- a habit he grew out of when he realised it didn't work. Rikku used -- uses -- it as a way to practice her pickpocketing, despite the fact that she never manages to get anything. Either way, he doesn't trust either of them when they start edging to his right.)
"I need to borrow you -- just for a little while!" He took it as a sign that he was getting predictable that she didn't even give him time to raise an eyebrow before she countered any possible objections, hands flailing in the air before her: "And yes it's important and no I can't get one of the others to do it and it's really close by and it won't take long I promise so -- um -- please?" She tilted her head to one side, scratching at her temple. "I think that's everything you could say no for. Is it?"
"I could always say I don't want to." If it was anyone else, they would have explained what they wanted him for, perhaps. Or, more likely, they wouldn't have bothered him.
(Being dead might have its advantages, but being a legend had more.)
"But you do!" was Rikku's reply. "Because I made it and if I don't show you and get you to say yes right now Rin's gonna take it off me!"
There was a long pause. As a rule, most of what Rikku made was useful -- barring a few machina that found their way into Wakka's bedroll after Macalania and the trinkets she entertained them with. And if Rin was likely to take it…
"What do you want to show me?"
Rikku grinned brilliantly, as though he had already agreed. "It's a secret. Come on!"
(The first time he saw her, he thought of Braska. Braska and his wife. The same eagerness and determination, the same urge to tease at every possible opportunity -- although he could not quell Braska's wife with a look and wouldn't have dared try. The same loathing of the summoning and love of the summoner. The same quick fingers when it came to machina and fixing things -- although Rikku's were always faster when it came to taking things that weren't hers.
Later, he realised that neither of them could use the brakes when it came to hovers, but it was too late by then.)
For all Rikku's insistence that he didn't understand her at all, he understood her enough to know that if she walked beside him quietly -- taking two hop-steps to one of his strides, and on his left so he could see her -- something was wrong. The last time he had seen her this way was walking through Zanarkand; before that, Home.
The former had lasted two hours, until she finally lunged for him, beating her fists against his chest and cursing him as though he was to blame for Yuna's pilgrimage. He had let her, as he had let Tidus, for the simple reason that it was easier to let her vent her emotions on him before they arrived and spare themselves her fury when they arrived. The latter had lasted until he took his spot in the passage to the control room and she a spot next to him, on his right so he wouldn't see her shake. In that case, Rikku couldn't beat anything into working or taking the blame, which in her mind seemed to mean that Auron was the best person to turn to -- if only because he would let her be, and wouldn't ask questions.
("There was nothing you could have done," he said eventually. Not because she needed to hear it -- despite all appearances, there was a mind working inside her head as quickly and ably as her fingers, and she would know what she could and couldn't have done. He said it because it was the truth.
His fondness for the truth had grown more and more as he distanced himself from it. If nothing else, truth was the anathema of everything Sin and Yevon represented and all the more precious for its scarcity.
Beside him, Rikku stiffened, and he didn't look at her. Finally, she leaned against his side, forehead against his shoulder.
"E ghuf," she croaked. "I know.")
In this case, however, he couldn't predict what the explosion would be about and when. All he could do was employ standard tactics; wait and see what came out.
What came out was a rather awkward "Auron? You're okay, aren't you?"
Auron stopped, half turning to find that Rikku was several steps behind him, biting her lip. He didn't know what had brought that on, but for some reason he found himself thinking of Tidus. The hurt on his face when Auron told him --
If Auron had said that he didn't expect Tidus to tell any of the others, he would have been lying. He had hoped otherwise, certainly, but he'd expected it. But Rikku?
'Perhaps he's learnt something then.'
"I'm fine. Let's go."
Rikku huffed behind him and bounced up to his side with a scowl on her face. "It's always 'let's go' with you. Let's go and get it over with, let's hurry up and get Yunie killed --"
"Would you have preferred that we draw it out?"
"Well, yeah -- I mean, you could've given us a little more time to plan how we were gonna stop…" The blonde trailed off, and he could almost hear the wheels turning inside her head. "You didn't want us to stop Yunie's pilgrimage, or any of the other summoners' pilgrimages, we knew that. You wanted us to go to Zanarkand, even though it was that big evil Yu -- her, even though she -- even though you knew what was there."
(The echo of Bevelle's bells ringing the alarm somewhere inside his mind, and Tidus saying "No one would believe me anyway," even though they would -- at least about this.)
"Did you even want Yunie to get the Final Aeon?"
"I wanted her to see the truth of the sacrifice -- the truth behind Sin. After that it was her choice."
Rikku made a vague, sceptical "Hm" sound and bounded ahead of him to jab at the button pad of the door at the end of the corridor. She didn't look at him when she said "It wasn't her choice to be a summoner. It was never her choice. You think the daughter of Lord Braska would've been anything else?"
Auron didn't argue -- she was right -- and Rikku didn't give him time to, stomping through the door and fumbling against the wall to turn on the lights. When they blinked into life, they revealed a room that was filled by what appeared to be half-dismantled machina and shelves supporting a riot of spheres, bottles and metal. One side of the room was lined with workbenches, most littered with the same scraps as were on the shelves -- the one that wasn't was the one that Rikku went to, and Auron waited in the doorway, eyes following her figure as she slipped through the room until he realised what she was getting.
Rikku, when she made something, would not rest unless it was made well -- or, failing that, unless it would fall apart in an entertaining manner. The katana she tried to lift showed signs of belonging to the former category. It was stained a colour between that of rust and old scars, the blade easily sharper than the one he used now -- but of course, he hadn't been using it to rip through fiends, had he?
"I um, thought you might need a new sword?" Rikku offered, lowering the blade back to the workbench. "And I figured that it'd be easier to just customise one for you here instead of buying you one because I kinda haven't got any gil and you're mean and won't let me steal some and Rin'll let me have stuff for free so long as I customise some of his other merchandise and…" Rikku flailed her arms again. "What do you think?"
For an answer, Auron hefted the blade, feeling the weight and the balance of it -- Rikku frowned as he did, as though searching for any problems that she might have missed while she was working on it. It felt right, in a way that he'd missed since he lost the blade that had been made for him in his time as a warrior monk. Swords from a rack in an armourers did the purpose they had been made for well enough, but having a blade that had been made for him --
Auron frowned slightly at the thought, and shifted the blade to what might become its usual position; slung over one shoulder. "You made this for me?"
Rikku nodded absently, eyes still on the katana. "Yep. I told you -- I thought you might need a new sword. And I wanted to do something nice for someone because Rin said that if I blew anything up on the airship he'd tell Pop it was me and then he'd throw me overboard. And if I wasted anything from his stock on blowing Tidus up then he'd throw me off."
"I would've thought Wakka would be your preferred target."
"Nope! I wouldn't blow Wakka up. I'm gonna punch holes in his blitzball next time the season starts, so that'll be enough, right?" Rikku hesitated, then swung herself up onto a high stool, legs kicking. "Auron? Can I ask you something?"
"You just did."
Rikku pulled a face at him, tongue out. "I'm being serious. Something else."
"If you must."
She hesitated for long minutes, heels thunking into the stool's crossbar. "Promise you won't kill me? Or Tidus?"
Auron looked at her over the top of his sunglasses.
"You could pretend. Have you never heard of trying to be reassuring?"
The look didn't change.
"No, I guess you haven't." Rikku took a deep breath, tugging at her gloves, then told the floor "Tidussaidyouwereanunsent."
It took him a few moments to translate that into separate words, and when he did he found that Tidus hadn't disappointed him. He could remember a time when he could say that would surprise him.
"An Unsent."
Rikku nodded, not looking at him. "But you're not, right?"
The silence seemed like a perfectly adequate answer to him, but Rikku looked up at him with wide, pleading eyes. "Right?"
Auron shook his head.
Rikku stared at him, eyes wide and the spirals stretched thin -- then moved, not past him as he'd expected, but to him. She leaned her head against his chest, hands fisting in his coat. When she spoke, her voice was muffled.
"I don't believe you."
"You don't have to."
He closed his eye and concentrated for a few seconds -- not on her, but on himself -- and was rewarded by something tight and crushed uncurling inside him. Judging by Rikku's gasp, she'd seen the handful of pyreflies he was releasing.
"Doesn't that hurt?"
Auron laughed, a harsh thunderclap, and Rikku ducked her head a little closer to his chest. Of all the questions -- but that was what he expected from them. From her and Tidus both.
"It's not funny," Rikku huffed, poking his chest. "It's -- I don't know!" The poke turned into a thump, her fist thudding on his armour. "You can't be dead. I mean -- it's you! You can't --" She stopped, then thunked her head against him. "I don't want you to be dead."
Auron stepped back enough that he could free his left hand from his coat and tilt Rikku's face up with it. Her lower lip trembled a little, but there were no tears.
(Jecht had always wanted to know where the crying women were, until he saw Sin destroy a village for the first time. Spira didn't have time to mourn the dead, and even less to mourn the living.)
There was just a spark of determination -- the determination she showed when it came to the Al Bhed, to Yuna, to a problem that she couldn't solve but would if it took her the rest of her life.
Auron wouldn't have it any other way.

CoverGirl Talia, who charmed America with her video make-up tutorials, dies aged 13 after six year battle with cancer
- Talia Joy Castellano, 13, from Orlando, Florida, last year become a face of CoverGirl thanks to the success of her YouTube make-up tutorials
- Last year the teen revealed that she had both neuroblastoma and leukemia
- Doctors suggested a bone marrow transplant, but she decided forgo further treatment and enjoy her remaining days
Talia Joy Castellano, who charmed America with her YouTube make-up tutorials and became an honorary face of CoverGirl, has died aged 13 following a six year battle with cancer.
A message posted on the Florida teen's Facebook page today read: 'It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings at 11:22am. Please lift her beautiful soul, her beautiful light to heaven.'
Since the news broke dozens of fans have taken to Twitter to offer their condolences including Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber.
Natural beauty: Talia Joy Castellano, who charmed America with her YouTube make-up tutorials and became an honorary face of CoverGirl, has died aged 13 following a six year battle with cancer
Talia was first diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma cancer, a tumor that develops from nerve tissue in infants and children, on Valentine's Day in 2007 when she was just seven years old.
chemotherapy, surgery and radiation she was cancer-free for one year
but in September 2008 doctors found the disease had spread to a
small lymph node near her heart.
the next four years she received various treatments, but after periods
of remission the cancer kept on returning to other parts of her body.
Step-by-step: The youngster's YouTube tutorials attracted more than 39million hits
Inspirational eyes: Talia, who was first
diagnosed with with stage four neuroblastoma cancer on Valentine's Day
in 2007, said that make-up helped to boost her confidence
Last year, on one of her famous YouTube video, she revealed that she had neuroblastoma and leukemia at the same time.
suggested a bone marrow transplant as a possible remedy but Talia
decided forgo another painful surgery and enjoy her remaining days.
Talk show star, Ellen DeGeneres, previously cited the youngster as an inspiration.
'Having a YouTube channel, inspiring people. . . the journey of having cancer was amazing. But every journey has an end'
While interviewing her last October on her eponymous daytime show, Ms DeGeneres stopped to say: 'You really are quite something.
'There's a depth to your soul that is not a 13-year-old soul.
'You're an old soul and you are very special and amazing, and I'm so honored that you wanted to meet me and that I got to meet you.'
Learning that Talia had passed away this
morning, the TV personality Tweeted: 'I met a very special girl, and
today we lost her. Sending my heart to Talia's family. I'm so sad.'
In one of her YouTube tutorials Talia, who would have turned 14 on August 18, explained that she didn't wear wigs because they made her feel 'fake and 'just not me'.
Messages of condolence: Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres had met the teen numerous times
Great loss: The news of Talia's death has touched thousands of her fans around the world
she used make-up as a confidence booster and her upbeat and entertaining video tutorials went on to attract millions of hits.
Desiree Castellano, Talia's mother, who supported her daughter's decision to forgo surgery, told Florida's Blood Centers in 2010: 'She made bald beautiful. She's a gorgeous girl, everyone's telling her, "you look gorgeous without any hair!"'
'She just tries to live every day to the fullest, Talia's a Leo, she's a fighter,' Mrs Castellano added.
Celebrity following: Talia met Miley Cyrus at the iHeartRadio music festival last October
Making her mark: A teary Talia was announced as an honorary CoverGirl on the Ellen show
Mutual admiration: The teenager, who developed an interest in make-up seven years ago, when she was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma, was as in awe of Ellen as the host was of her
In awe: At the time, Talia had no idea Ellen would surprise her with her very own CoverGirl poster
More than 759,110 people subscribed to the teen's YouTube page to watch her bubbly and expert tips.
'When I put on my make-up I feel like I can embrace those features that I really like about myself,' she explained last year.
'I feel if someone's looking at me, they're looking at my makeup, not looking at my bald head. I am just trying to make young girls, young adults, adults, anyone, feel beautiful by using makeup.'
Cancer fighter: Talia was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and leukemia 'at the same time' in 2012, giving her only four months to one year to live
Once a week, while enduring chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplants, and blood transfusions, she would teach her viewers how to master a make-up look that most girls are quick to put in the 'too hard basket'.
'Just fill [the base layer] in sloppily,' she advised on one popular video. 'But focus on the eyelid because that's where we want most of the intensity and the yellow to stick.
'When you're using very vibrant colors like this you always want to use a base. One, it will prevent creasing, and it will give the eyeshadow something to stick to,' she explains of a look inspired by fire and her 'fiery' bathing suit.
She also told her fans that 'it's just for fun'.
'I just did this while my parents were in the pool and I was really bored. It's not hard at all. Some girls think it's so hard, being like "How do you do that?!" and I'm like "bro, it's"..never mind,' she trails off.
The Orlando, Florida native, who lived with her supportive parents and her older sister, Mattia Joyce, told MailOnline that clothes also helped to lift her spirits and some of her favorite looks included 'preppy', 'rocker' and 'boho chic'.
Earlier this year, Talia fulfilled her dream of becoming a fashion designer as she collaborated on a line of clothing for teenagers called That Bald Chick with Los Angeles-based designer, Urbana Chappa.
Ms Chappa, who runs a womenswear label called Maison De Urbana, decided to help fulfill Talia's ambitions after hearing her inspirational story on the Ellen show last fall.
Always smiling: Talia told MailOnline that clothes also helped to lift her spirits and some of her favorite looks included 'preppy', 'rocker' and 'boho chic'
Finishing touches: Talia told her fans that 'it's just for fun', explaining she did this particular make-up tutorial while her parents were in the pool and she ' was really bored'
End result: Although Talia was fighting cancer, she promised her fans she would continue her YouTube channel and make-up tutorials
She flew to Florida on April 15 to meet the teen at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando and help bring her design ideas to life.
Ms Chappa, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 19 but successfully overcame the disease, explained that meeting Talia was an experience 'I'll never forget.'
She told MailOnline: 'Even though she was sick in the hospital, we made the best of our time. We talked, sketched, worked on her line. I wanted nothing more to keep her legacy alive.'
Mommy's girl: Talia with her mother, Desiree, at their home in Orlando, Florida
Sister love: Talia with her older sister, Mattia Joyce Castellano
Family time: The three Castellano women took a tropical break while ticking a few things of Talia's bucket list
Ms Chappa is now hoping to get a major retailer to pick up the fashion collection in Talia's memory.
Doctors estimated last summer that Talia had around four to 12 months left to live.
Looking at things in a positive light, she explained in one of her videos: 'I've gotten so many benefits from [cancer].
Best friends: Misty Sheridan posted this picture of Talia with the caption 'my bestfriend forever @taliajoy18 girly poo you are my sister!'
Perfectly polished: Talia used make-up as a confidence booster and her upbeat and entertaining video tutorials went on to attract millions of hits
Barely there: Talia wasn't afraid to show the effects of chemotherapy, as well as how much fun make-up could be; she hoped her openness would help other young cancer suffers
'Having a YouTube channel, [inspiring] people and having people look up to me . . . the journey of having cancer was amazing. But every journey has an end.'
Her sister, Mattia Joyce, tweeted earlier today: 'I know you loved tweeting so this tweet is for you @TaliaJoy18 love you forever I will see you in a blink of an eye!!'

Have you ever imagined wearing a ripped up pair of destroyed denim jean cut-off shorts to the office? It's completely possible to use something as rebel-inspired and edgy as cut-off shorts in a luxe look. It's all about the way you style, as The Marcy Stop teaches us in a recent blog post. Pairing those shredded shorts with a white modern blazer, a gold necklace and a tucked-in tank takes the whole concept to a new level. If this is against dress code, we don't wanna be right.

Not all cut-off shorts are created equal. Sometimes a pair of denim shorts comes along that literally makes us dive for our cred cards… and one such pair has arrived in the form of destroyed denim cut-offs. The Nasty Gal Denim "The Wreckage" Splash Shorts are everything we love about super-short summer shorts. They feature a splatter of bleach and unique light wash, exposed pockets, frayed edges, and a whole lot of attitude.

We want to see your favorite shorts this summer! Follow us on Instagram, and hashtag #DenimTherapy so we can check you out.

Take a visual vacation and get some inspiration here, and some some of our favorite cut-off's below.

I have emailed and had live chat several times with no responsibility taken on their part. They continue the silly game of "sorry for the inconvenience, please be peaceful" They will not correct their mistake, they will not accept the dress back, they will not refund my money. They simply repeat "we understand your frustration, so sorry for the inconvenience" "Please take local to fix".
I spent $150 for this dress and this is a complete ripoff and I am not the only victim. I now see numerous complaints about this company. There has to be a way to stop these people from stealing our money and not providing the quality they guarantee at the time of sale. Another company doing the same thing and selling clothing that looks nothing like the website is Tidebuy.
Are there no laws to protect American consumers that buy products on the internet? If a foreign company chooses to do business with American citizens, do we not have any trade laws to protect us from this kind of rip off? I should think a class action lawsuit could stop these people in China from stealing from us. What options do we have? Is there not any restrictions in the Federal Trade Commission to prevent this type of Internet theft? If they are allowed to sell merchandise to and ship to this country, do we not have any consumer protection laws?

But when the post is approached as an archive or a search, using this doesn't work:
if(is_paged("page-title") || is_archive("page-title") || is_search("page-title"))
$background_image = "background1.jpg";
There must be some way that the code knows that "/page/3/" is the same post-id as "year/month/day/page-title".
Does anybody have a clue? Thanks so much for any input.

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
The Power Rangers Megaforce Deluxe Gosei Morpher is a replica of the tool used in the show as the Rangers morph into Power Rangers. This morpher features Gosei in Tiki mode. As on the show, the Rangers activate the morpher using cards, and this toy comes with 10 cards. Turn it on and insert a card. Snap it shut and you'll hear one of 180 different phrases. The cards can also be used in the Power Rangers Action Card Game, which is sold separately, and with the Power Rangers Card Scanner app, which is a free download on Android and iOS devices. Scan a card with the app to unlock digital Power Rangers content. The Deluxe Gosei Morpher also comes with a clip so that kids can attach it to a belt and take the morphing fun on the go.
Kids love to pretend to morph into Power Rangers, and the basic play of this allows them to pretend that Gosei is instructing them to transform. The more elaborate play is with the trading card game, but this is a good, basic roleplay item.
The Power Rangers Megaforce Deluxe Gosei Morpher is for Power Rangers fans 4 and up.
Two AAA batteries are included.
If you're not using this toy to play the card game, make sure to turn the switch from TCG to ON.
If you're not playing the trading card game, there is a lot of information on the cards that won't really be relevant to the game play.
This is a little complicated for Power Rangers fans to use. To insert the cards, you have to be sure they click completely or they may get stuck as you try to close the unit. Younger kids are also going to need adult help getting this set up.

This is true of the other 5 pages that I have created for my site.

Fait ce qu'on lui demande de faire.
I do NOT think this plugin can track the "Updates",a.k.a the "Update Logs".
Lets say i have 3 Top Administrators, then tomorrow some of my Plugins and/or the whole WP is updated. So who did it?
We need this tracking.
I installed plugin on wp 3.5.1
found problem that settings are not changing properly..
i added widget but it was sending non stop requests to server.
I had to edit the file wp-act-admin.php, line 285 is throwing a warning because the $wpdb->prepare now requires 2 arguments to be passed.
$logins = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare($act_recent_sql, null));
I just added ", null" and now all seems to be well. I only use this for the admin to track login and all feed items are deactivated.

Easy Crunchy Chicken
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr
I invented this recipe based on whatever I had in my cupboard, and when I cut into it to test the chicken for doneness...I heard a loud "CRUNCH". This is really great, tasty and really crunchy. And healthy too! Please note that the nutritional values on this recipe are totally out of whack because you end up throwing away most of the egg and breadcrumb mixture...not eating it!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 whole chicken, cut up
- 473.18 ml quick oats
- 236.59 ml seasoned bread crumbs
- 236.59 ml whole wheat flour
- 44.37 ml thyme
- 29.58 ml oregano
- 14.79 ml salt
- 14.79 ml pepper
- 29.58 ml dried parsley
- 29.58 ml poultry seasoning (or whatever seasoning you'd like)
- 3 eggs
- 158.51 ml brown mustard or 158.51 ml Dijon mustard
- Spray a roasting pan with PAM.
- Whisk the eggs and mustard together in a bowl.
- Mix all other ingredients, except the chicken, in another bowl.
- Leave the skin on the chicken. Wash it and pat it dry.
- Dip each piece of chicken in the egg/mustard mixture one at a time, then drop them into the dry mixture and cover them completely. Do each piece one at a time.
- Place the chicken pieces into the roasting pan and bake in the oven at 400 for 1 hour or until juices run clear in the thickest part of the breast.
- If you notice that the tops of each piece are not browning and still look 'floury', simply spray some pam on each piece and then return the chicken to the oven on 'broil' for about 5 minutes.

This was yummy for our family too. I used chicken breast and omitted the breadcrumbs. It came out moist and crunchy. I topped mine with some buffalo wing sauce and ranch. Loved it!
Wow! You are gonna have to keep posting recipes because my family is fast falling in love with you! This chicken got a weird eye when they saw the oatmeal, but that soon turned to, "Mmmm!" My only change was to use A/P flour, as I was out of W/W. I used my own dried thyme and oregano & DH thanks you for proving to me that all coatings do not require "little twigs" (rosemary). ;) My picky toddler ate this right up & that speaks for itself! Thanks for sharing, Eva! We've really enjoyed your recipes. You've been adopted during Pick A Chef Spring 2010! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498

By David San MiguelJanuary 30, 2012
FORT BLISS, Texas -- In a surprise visit Jan. 26 with U.S. Army Contracting Command participants of the Joint Dawn exercise, Command Sgt. Maj. Ronald T. Riling, U.S. Army Materiel Command, lauded the Soldiers' efforts in supporting the war fighter in theater.
Speaking before the 80-plus NCOs and officers, Riling commented how he and Gen. Ann Dunwoody, AMC commanding general, were proud of their contributions to the Army and how they should be proud to wear the AMC patch.
He said that once they deploy in theater, the Soldiers shouldn't let anyone intimidate them to change it.
"Be proud to wear the AMC patch," he said. "You're working for AMC and you should be proud of it."
Riling added that he was impressed by all the warrior skills training the Soldiers were undertaking prior to their deployment. He said they should take the training seriously and to ask the "hard questions" before they deploy.
"We're all Soldiers before we do any MOS (military occupational specialty) and we need to know the basics well," he said.
The sergeant major cited recent attacks on Soldiers in Kandahar and how insurgents changed their tactics to inflict injury on U.S. forces. Once in theater, he said the Soldiers should talk with their peers, learn the latest tactics, techniques and procedures and ask what they need to be proficient in.
"I know you're going over there to conduct contracting business," he said, "but you're going from FOB (forward operating base) to FOB and you could get hit. You have to know what to do … how to react."
A combat veteran himself, Riling added that it's critical they be safe and that they can continue with their contracting mission.
"They (Soldiers) depend on 51-Charlies," he said. "If you don't write the contract that makes sense and you don't do the right thing for the Soldiers, the Soldiers will ultimately pay the price."
"I'll tell you right now, the Army really doesn't know what the 51-Charlie series MOS is doing," Riling added. "But that's what you're about to do."
Joint Dawn is the premier contingency contracting pre-deployment mission readiness exercise. This annual exercise brings together a joint, multi-component group of military and civilian contracting professionals and gives them the tools, techniques, and procedures necessary to deploy with confidence and the ability to survive and support the war fighter.

Best Uses
good qualty shirt at a low price. I have worn and washed it twice and no noticable pilling yet. For this price I dont care anyway I bought it for work.
Best Uses
This is a great shirt for winter, inside or outside. Good looking enough for me to call a dress shirt. Got all four colors because I like the other Duluth Waffle shirts I have. I ware a shirt in my basement and do not have to turn on my extra heat.
Best Uses
I got 5 of these for myself ~ one in a tall size for bumming on the couch, and the other 4 for work/everything else. They're so, so warm for all the thicker they are. Not to say that they're thin & cheap, because they definitely aren't. I washed mine in cold water, gentle cycle, and hung them up to dry (which I pretty much do to every article of clothing I own to avoid shrinkage, fading, and loss off stretch), and mine didn't pill at all. They're prefect in every way.....so maybe using the dryer makes them pill. ??? It doesn't matter, because I know with Duluth's standards, what they might consider not up-to-par is still 100x better than what another brand would bill as top-notch. You just can't beat them for the clearance price! Also, I'm 5'9 & they fall way past my hip, and they have the shirttail hem that I love so much. All-around perfect in my book! Thanks, Duluth!!
Best Uses
We are so pleased with the smooth, soft material and generous fit!
Best Uses
This fits perfectly and I love how it feels.

Kershaw County residents, their guests and others attending the 81st annual Carolina Cup should feel safe this weekend as there will be 17 law enforcement organizations and additional support service agencies patrolling the area.
The Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) arrested three teenagers Thursday in connection with a string of automobile break-ins in the Lugoff and Elgin areas.
