Business Proposition (Part 2 of 3) After finishing with Marina, I went along with Angeline as she held one of my hands, guiding me from the Fairy Fountain towards another part of the complex. I was still wearing the robe Marina gave me, covering my otherwise naked body and concealing the erection that I still had. During the walk, Angeline had time to talk with me a little. "So, are you enjoying the stay thus far?", she asked sweetly with a bit of a glimmer in her green eyes. I smiled and held onto her soft hand. "Mmm...yes...you and Marina are quite hospitable", I answered, getting a chuckle out of the female togekiss. "Mmm...thank you, but I haven't done anything for you yet", she commented cheerfully before I felt her cheek rub against my own. "By the way, do you enjoy cuddling?", she soon asked as I felt her warm and downy cheek feathers rub along my soft sylveon cheek fur. I couldn't help smiling when Angeline asked me this. "Is that a trick question?", I playfully remarked while rubbing my own cheek against hers, getting another chuckle out of Angeline. "Good...because I love to cuddle with my partners!", she answered happily as I saw those top feathers of hers twitch slightly as we kept walking together, soon reaching another large atrium. "Anyway, here we are! Welcome to the Fairy Forest!", she soon mentioned as we arrived. The Fairy Forest had a large glass roof above what appeared to be real trees, with the atrium having a strong scent of various wildflowers that also grew inside. There seemed to be other lighting in the forest as I could detect hues of pink, green, and cyan light coming from within the trees. Angeline continued to hold my hand and brought me towards the forest itself. "C'mon...let's find ourselves a nice spot to makeout!", she suggested cheerfully. The two of us entered the forest proper where I looked around some more, discovering that the lights I saw came from various mushrooms that were scattered throughout. I couldn't tell if these were natural mushrooms or if they were just decorative, but it seemed as if they grew brighter after being touched. Also, along the way, Angeline and I passed by some other clients enjoying the services of the fairy-types living in the fairy forest. In one part, I saw a male mouse enjoying oral sex being performed by a red-flower florges. Then, a little further in, I happened to come across a male vulpix who was gleefully enjoying a session with a male whimsicott. This seemed to concern me a little since fire and grass didn't go well together. However, Angeline was quick to assure me that everything would be fine. "Relax...Shane is a regular here. He has perfect control over his fire-type abilities and enjoys making out with our fairy/grass-types", Angeline commented as I watched the male vulpix humping the whimsicott foxy-style, just as his knot went in and he began to inseminate the fairy/grass-type. The male whimsicott called out in pleasure as his own seed started to leave his tip, creating a sweet aroma as it left him. "Well, I guess he seems to be enjoying it", I thought to myself before feeling Angeline tug on my arm a bit. "C'mon...let's leave these two to enjoy their fun. Besides, I want to have some with you", Angeline sweetly remarked as I soon turned my attention back to her and walked with Angeline deeper into the forest. A little further into the forest, Angeline and I arrived in an open clearing with a few pink and cyan mushrooms scattered around to give off some added light. There were some flowering bushes nearby, providing a sweet floral scent while a non-anthro floette was tending to them. Angeline sweetly chuckled and rubbed her cheek against my face. "Why don't you go ahead and get ready for me while I talk to this floette", she suggested. I curiously did as she asked, disrobing and picking out a nice spot in the open space, sitting down as I watched Angeline go over and speak with the floette. Angeline was calm and sweet in her demeanor, politely asking the smaller fairy-type for a bit of privacy. The floette seemed to giggle when Angeline spoke to her and eventually floated off to another part of the forest. After this, Angeline turned to me as I remained fully erect and throbbing, curious to see what the female togekiss wanted from me. "As you can see, we use natural means to keep our flowers nice and healthy", Angeline commented softly. "Mmm...yeah, I noticed that when I first arrived", I responded calmly as Angeline chuckled sweetly. "Are you ready to have a good time with me, cutie?", Angeline soon asked as I saw her start to remove the nightgown she wore. My foxhood twitched as a bead of fresh precum appeared at the tip of it. "Mmm...sure!", I answered while I watched her take off the clothing she wore. She took off the nightgown, letting it fall to the floor, revealing that she was wearing a bra and panties that matched the color of her feathers. Most of her feathers were a pearly white, with some red and blue feathers around her belly, creating the shapes that were common for her kind. Then, soon after, Angeline took off the bra and slid out of her panties, revealing her vaginal lips and breasts to me. Angeline's bosom was not as bountiful as Marina's. They were about on par with what my sister had, but she had large and vibrant pink nipples that protruded from underneath her soft plumage as she showed off a little. "By the way, they're 100% real", she remarked sweetly as I saw her press her boobs together in a playful manner. I thought Angeline looked quite pretty and so did my foxhood. A spurt of precum launched from my tip as she showed off, going straight up before landing back on my footlong sylveon shaft. Soon after, Angeline came over to me and got into my lap, pressing her vaginal lips against the underside of my cock and rubbing along it gently. She placed her arms around my upper body and pulled me towards her, allowing me to feel how warm and soft her feathers were. I reached around and held onto Angeline, doing so gently as the female togekiss seemed to coo with delight. "You don't mind if I rub against you a little until I'm ready for sex, do you cutie?", she softly asked as I felt the warmth of her pussy along my happy and eager maleness. "Mmm...go right ahead!", I answered happily, feeling Angeline grind along my shaft in an up and down motion, moving slowly as I felt my member pulse for her. She seemed to enjoy herself as I felt her embrace me, with one of her hands lightly stroking my back at the same time. Meanwhile, I could feel her folds become warmer and wetter, reacting to how I felt against them. I kept enjoying her touch and the rubbing, feeling my shaft pulse for her warmth and my balls churn with life as new sperm was being made, murring as I looked into her eyes and saw them twinkle. Angeline smiled, then took me a bit by surprise, kissing me on the lips. I felt one of her hands move to my cheek, stroking it gently while she took things further, putting her tongue into my mouth, encouraging me to do the same. I decided to go along with it and engaged in a deeper kiss with the female togekiss, with my maleness throbbing more and my balls churning strongly. My precum kept launching from the tip, getting onto both my body and hers while she kept rubbing against my shaft. I wasn't sure if Angeline did this with all of her clients, or if she was just doing this for me. Regardless, it felt really good, and I responded by reaching for one of her breasts to give it a grope. Her bosom felt warm and completely natural, confirming that she had a mammalian reproductive system. I heard her softly chuckle while we kissed, feeling a fingertip caress my cheek, tracing a heart-shape on it. She continued to kiss me for several seconds before pulling away from my mouth, her warm pussy still caressing the underside of my sylveon shaft. "You feel so big and strong...and I'll bet that you've got lots of seed you want to give me", Angeline sweetly remarked as I felt her caress my cheek some more while I kept playing with one of her breasts. "I really want you in me, but I don't know if I can fit such a big dick in my tight pussy. I've never taken anything larger than 8 inches in length", she added. I moved my hand from her breast to her soft, downy cheek and stroked it lightly. "My foxhood changes size depending on the form I'm in", I explained to her calmly. "If you want, I could change back to my normal form and make it fit you better", I added a few moments later. Angeline touched her nose to my own, rubbing it gently. "I'd be fine with that", she answered sweetly as I started to concentrate on changing my shape, all while Angeline stayed in my lap. Within seconds, I was back to my normal two-tailed fox form and my foxhood returned to its default length of 7.5 inches, staying fully erect as it kept touching Angeline's soft pussy lips. "How's that?", I asked after changing forms, wanting to get Angeline's opinion. The female togekiss kept rubbing against me, letting out a chuckle while feeling how my member was to her. "Mmm...that's better! You should be able to fit in me comfortably now", she remarked sweetly as I felt a bit of her sauce leak onto the underside of my shaft. "Oooh...and you feel warmer to the touch as well...even more so than some of the other fox boys who I've met", she added cheerfully before she touched both of my cheeks and looked into my eyes. "Would you mind if I took it for a ride, sweetie? I'll let you choose how we do it next time", she asked curiously. I smiled, then rubbed my nose against hers. "If that's what you'd like", I answered as my member throbbed for her, precum still dribbling from the tip as I anticipated what would come next. She gave me a quick kiss then moved into position, reaching down to grab hold of my length to aim the tip of it towards her entrance. I soon felt it touch the space between her vaginal folds as a trickle of her vaginal sauce ran down the upper portion of my member, leaving it feeling a bit warm and slimy. "Grab onto my hips, cutie", she soon suggested as I felt her gently press down on my tip, making it go between her outer lips and just kiss against the tight vaginal opening. I did what Angeline asked, gripping her hips firmly to hold onto her, but also trying to be gentle enough not to unintentionally cause harm. Meanwhile, I felt Angeline's hands rest on my shoulders while she lowered herself down onto me, sending my foxhood into her pussy. She moved slowly, seeming to savor the feeling of my foxhood pushing up into her passage with my warmth radiating from my flesh as it throbbed against her canal. Her pussy was moist and snug, gripping me firmly as it pushed inward and glazing my shaft in a thick layer of her feminine goo. I felt a bit more precum leave the tip of my member, going into Angeline, causing the female togekiss to chuckle while she kept taking me into her. "Don't go off too soon now, cutie! I want to enjoy your cock for a bit before I let you fill me", she sweetly remarked while tracing another heart-shape on my cheek just as I felt her outer lips kiss my knot. "I'll do my best", I assured Angeline while holding onto her, feeling more of her sauce trickle from her opening as it started to glaze my bulb. Soon, I felt her start to bounce on my happy foxhood, moving at a modest pace as I felt her passage rub along my length. Her head feathers seemed to twitch as she did this, with her cheeks turning pink and a smile on her cute face. I could feel my shaft throb against her insides while spurting precum upward into Angeline, hitting the upper reaches of the canal and her cervix. "Mmm...yes...you feel so warm and thick inside me!", she soon mentioned happily as I noticed her tail feathers wiggle along with her head feathers. "How do I feel to you, cutie? Are you enjoying my warm togekiss pussy?", she soon asked in a loving tone as I felt one of her hands lightly rub my cheek and saw her looking at me with a glimmer in those green eyes of hers. My hands kept holding onto Angeline's hips, gripping them a bit tighter while I looked up and smiled. "Mmm...yes...very much!", I told her in a soft tone, causing her to chuckle and rub my cheek some more as I felt her vaginal walls suddenly spasm tighter around me, giving my length a decent squeeze. "You know, my kind enjoys bringing love and happiness to others. I'm happy that you enjoy being inside me", Angeline sweetly remarked as I felt her trace another heart-shape on my cheek. She then took me by surprise, taking me into her arms and pressing herself against me. "Of course, it feels even better when I get to share the love and happiness", she commented playfully as I felt her nose tickle my own. "Wanna make out with me while we do it?", she asked curiously while her head feathers twitched, and her tail feathers swayed. "Mmm...sure...why not", I answered sweetly before Angeline and I kissed deeply, with me murring as I engaged in the kiss. I heard a soft coo from her mouth while we made out, feeling her hands caress my back while my own latched onto her tush. We started to move together at that point, with me humping upward and her still bouncing on my pole a little, my knot grinding against her outer lips while the rest of my shaft was being massaged by her tight passage. My balls churned strongly for the female togekiss, both from sexual arousal and from fairy essence she was giving me as we kissed. The feeling made me become more sexually 'aggressive' and I soon took the lead, taking Angeline by surprise and rolling her over so I was on top of her. Then, I started to pump her pussy at a vigorous pace, attempting to knot the female before I came inside her. She let out a curious moan when I did this, but soon let out a long and soft coo, kissing me some more as I felt one of her hands go back to my cheek. "Cum for me, cutie! Show me how much you'd like to fill my 'nest'!", I heard her call to me in thought, catching me a bit by surprise when she did this. Nevertheless, I wanted to give Angeline what she desired and held her tightly while delivering my shaft to her at full speed, feeling my knot bump against her outer lips each time I moved inward. As I did this, her passage tightened more and I felt the warming sensation of her fairy aura all over my body, with it being the strongest in my foxhood and balls. Then, the instant I finally got my knot inside, she let out a muffled squeal while we kept kissing and climaxed. Angeline's hole clamped down on my member as my knot began to grow, washing over it with a thick glaze of her sauce. The goo she produced was very warm and quite slimy, giving off a sweet scent as she produced it. Not to be outdone, I finally let my load burst forth from my tip, rushing deep inside the female togekiss as I remained on top of her. She let out another long and very satisfied coo as I came, my own essence spreading throughout the reaches of her reproductive tract. We never stopped kissing during this time, with me staying on top of her and holding on tightly while Angeline pulled me in as closely as she could. It wasn't until after my knot reached full-size and my climax slowed to periodic spurts when she finally broke the kiss. However, her cheeks were still rosy, and she still had a satisfied look on her cute face. "I can see why females want to hire you as a stud!", she playfully remarked as I felt her trace a heart-shape on my cheek. "Mmm...quite honestly, I sorta wish I didn't take yiffberries before you came over", she mentioned in a loving tone, advertising her willingness to let me knock her up. "Well, I give my seed to any female who wishes to receive it...and if you really want it, I would be more than willing to knock you up when you're ready", I answered while still slowly adding more seed to her tight togekiss pussy. "Mmm...I'll talk to Marina about it, and we can arrange a date. Who knows, maybe she'll want you to do the same to her!", Angeline sweetly remarked while I remained on top of her, growing a bit more curious. "Mmm...by the way, if you have a mammalian reproductive system and I knocked you up, what would our kids be like?", I asked. Angeline blushed and touched my cheek some more. "Well, since I'm a pokémorph, my sons and daughters would mostly take after me. They'll probably inherit some of your traits, but they'll be born as togetic", she commented softly, causing me to become more curious. "Togetic? Not togepi?", I asked as I was starting to relax a little after my orgasm, my knot starting to shrink inside Angeline's pussy. "That's correct...since I can give live birth, my sons and daughters would skip the togepi stage and be born as togetic. They would still be "Level 1", though", she answered as she felt my bulb relaxing. "Anyway, it looks like you're about ready to pull out of me", she commented in a soft tone. I blushed some and felt a little nervous. "Well, yeah...I haven't turned the tie with you, so it only stays inflated for a little while. But don't worry, I still have more to give you...assuming you want it", I replied. Angeline sweetly chuckled and pulled me back towards her, kissing my lips for a moment. "You can fill me to your heart's content, cutie. However, before we go another round, would it be alright if you and I had another snuggle session? I really like how cuddly you are", she answered sweetly. "Mmm...same here...your feathers feel really soft and warm", I answered just before I pulled out of Angeline. As I did so, I got an idea. "How would you like to see an even cuter and more cuddly form?", I asked curiously, thinking about changing into my raposa form. Angeline seemed curious as I felt her touch my cheek some more. "You're already cute as far as I'm concerned, sweetie. However, I would like to see what you have in mind", she softly replied as I remained on top of her with my still-erect foxhood kissing against her vaginal lips. I briefly got up onto my feet before focusing my energy on changing, shrinking down to my raposa form for Angeline. When she saw this, Angeline chuckled while sitting up a little, having her legs spread apart as some of what I already put into her began to leak from her entrance. She also noticed that while the color of my maleness changed from red to pink, it was still just as long and thick as it was in my normal form. "Mmm...I can see why Mari likes you so much!", Angeline commented in a playful manner, referring back to how Mari and I behaved when Angeline and Marina first met us. I was tempted to tell Angeline that Mari was actually my sister-in-law, but I decided not to since I felt like it wouldn't matter anyway. "Nevermind about that...what do you think of it?", I soon asked the female togekiss, showing off for her some more. She chuckled and held her arms out to me. "Why don't you come over to me and find out?", she lovingly remarked. I smiled and went over to Angeline, leaping on top of the female togekiss as I felt her embrace me to her warm and downy body, my rapocock kissing her outer folds once again as it began to throb anew. "Your fur feels smooth and velvety!", she soon remarked, rubbing my back a little with one of her hands as I was in perfect position to reach her bosom, resting my head between her breasts, my arms wrapped around her hips as I was on top. "Mmm...your boobs feel so warm and squishy. It makes me want to play with them", I commented while resting my head against her natural breasts, feeling Angeline touch my face with her free hand. "Mmm...go right ahead, cutie! I told you before that they're completely real. They'll even be able to make milk once you make me a mommy", Angeline playfully commented, causing my maleness to throb some more as it caressed her outer folds, beginning to drip with fresh precum onto them. Part of me wondered what milk from a female togekiss would taste like, but I dismissed the thought since I figured I'd never find out that answer and instead went over to one of her breasts. I was tempted to grope Angeline, but I didn't want to let go of her hips, so I brought my mouth to one of her nipples and began to lick at it. I let my tongue circle around the nipple a little, feeling how warm and fleshy it was, even causing the nipple to puff out some more. Meanwhile, my rapocock rubbed along Angeline's soft and warm vaginal lips, with me humping her lightly as I played with the nipple. She chuckled and reached down with one of her hands, grabbing hold of my shaft around the knot. "Mmm...here...let me help you with that", she sweetly mentioned, helping to position the tip of my member so it met her vaginal entrance. "There! I'll bet that feels a lot better, doesn't it?", she commented soon after as she concentrated on bringing me close to her body, embracing me to it. I quickly took advantage of the opportunity and pushed my rapocock back into her warmth, sending it deep into her passage. As I did this, I felt her pussy quiver around my length as it seemed she was a bit tighter and warmer than she was the first time. Her insides were very moist, both from her own juices and some of what I put into her previously, making it easy for me to push forward until all but the knot was inside. Soon after, I started to hump Angeline again, moving at a modest pace while licking at her nipple, looking up at her with my blue eyes as I held her tightly. She looked back at me, continuing to press my body against her own as I watched her head feathers twitch. I decided to take things further and took her nipple into my mouth, lightly sucking on it as if she were producing milk, all while I felt my member being rubbed and massaged by the tightness of her togekiss pussy. My ears twitched a little when I did this, and I blushed slightly. "Mmm...you know, this is the first time that someone other than Marina has played with my nipples. All the other males I've had sex with thought that they were merely implants", Angeline commented while I mated with her, spurting precum back into her passage while my shaft move back and forth through her. I stopped sucking for a second so I could respond to her. "I guess their loss is my gain then", I answered sweetly, giving the nipple I was sucking on a gentle kiss, making Angeline chuckle. Then, I went back to sucking on it while humping her, increasing my pace slightly as I felt the churning in my balls begin to return and my rapocock thicken a little as it became more sensitive. "You're such a sweetie!", she mentioned happily as my knot was bumping against her outer folds yet again. "Oooh...and you're also a great lover, too! You make my insides feel all warm and tingly with that nice cock of yours. Makes me look forward to having your babies", Angeline added in a loving tone as I felt one of her hands rub my back while the other pressed my lower body towards her lower body. All this talk about babymaking and how she felt about me helped to fuel my sex drive, and it wasn't long before I was humping the female togekiss at a vigorous pace while the churning in my balls intensified. My arms held her tighter, and I began to chrrr while sucking at her nipple some more, feeling it plump up a bit further while it was in my mouth. As I was doing this, I couldn't help thinking about what she would be like as a mother. I pictured her with the offspring I helped provide her with, being a sweet and joyous as she was with me. I also could see Marina getting involved as well, acting as a second mother to the kids while she treated them as if I had impregnated her myself. The thought of seeing a happy Angeline with her kids was enough to drive me to spill my seed into her again. Even though I was consciously aware that she was not receptive, my sub-conscious wanted me to believe that she secretly was. I humped her at full speed as the churning in my swollen Raposian nuts neared critical, with my climax drawing close. Angeline clutched me to her as tightly as she could and encouraged me further. "Ahh! Yes! Fill me again!", she called out gleefully. "I want to see how much you enjoy being with me!", she added as I looked up and saw her cheeks turning pink and a large smile on her face, her head feathers twitching almost constantly. Seconds later, I let go of her nipple, plunged my knot into her warm passage and squealed with delight as my seed left my balls, launching deep into her passage. My raposian cream was thicker than the normal grade, coating Angeline's vaginal walls and cervix quite nicely as it rushed in to greet her. Meanwhile, her vaginal walls clamped down hard on my rapocock, concentrating most of their attention on my throbbing bulb. Even though my knot did not grow inside her, since it could only do that when I was mating with someone who was important to me, it still reacted to her warmth and tightness. "Mmm...your load is so thick and sticky! Is it always like this or do you just enjoy mating with me?", she soon commented as I kept inseminating her. I looked at Angeline and blushed a little, still keeping my entire rapocock in her warm vaginal canal. "Raposian cum is thicker and has more sperm in it than my normal form", I explained to her. "It's designed to coat a female's reproductive tract and prevent other males from getting their seed into them...kind of like how rabbits are", I added. Angeline responded with a chuckle, then rubbed one of my cheeks. "You're the only one I want right now, cutie. No one else is going to put their dick in me today", she commented sweetly. "Mmm...in fact, by the time you're done with me, I wouldn't be surprised if you end up ruining me for all other males!", she playfully remarked, making me unsure if she was merely joking about that or if she was serious. Regardless, it didn't stop me from filling her willing vaginal passage and uterus with seed, leaving a larger pool of cum deep within her "nest". I came inside Angeline for about a minute before the churning relaxed and I pulled my knot out, leaving the rest of my still-erect and throbbing rapocock in her. "Mmm...still got more for me, sweetie?", she asked in a loving tone as I felt her hand stroke my cheek while I let out a louder chrrr and attached myself to her other nipple, starting to suck on it while humping Angeline some more. She chuckled and went back to embracing me to her warm and soft body. "Go for it, cutie! Mate with me as many times as you want!", she soon mentioned as we enjoyed how we felt to each other some more, with me mating with her for about the next half-hour. I came in her three times in total while in Raposa form before the churning in my balls subsided and I finally felt fully satisfied, pulling free from Angeline's passage while resting on top of her. Angeline pulled me up towards her face after I was finished and kissed me on the lips. "Mmm...now that you're finished with me, why don't we spend some time cuddling here while I help you relax and recover", Angeline suggested sweetly. "Mmm...sure, I wouldn't mind snuggling against your soft, downy body some more", I replied as Angeline cuddled me against her body while sitting back up. "How about a little something to drink?", she soon asked politely, rubbing her soft pointed nose against my small rabbit-like one. "Mmm...alright...what kind of drink?", I asked curiously before I heard Angeline whistle. A few moments later, I noticed a female ribombee flutter over. She was anthro, but still smaller than I was in my raposa form. She was also completely naked with (fake) C-cup breasts as opposed to Angeline's natural ones. "What can I do for you, my queen?", the female ribombee asked in a polite tone, referring to Angeline as "her queen". I found it a little strange that she would consider Angeline her "queen", considering that she was a togekiss, but I decided not to ask about it. "Yes, could you please bring my friend here a glass of "Moonblast Supreme"?, Angeline responded in a soft tone. The female ribombee nodded. "At once, my queen!", she replied before fluttering off in another direction. Curiously, I had to ask about what Angeline just ordered? "Moonblast Supreme?", I asked curiously. "You'll like it...it's vanilla ice cream blended with strawberries, raspberries, mega audino milk, and a bit of ribombee honey", she assured me as I felt her hold me to her body. "Normally we would charge 12 UIC Dollars for one, but because you're our guest, this one will be on me", Angeline mentioned sweetly as I felt her touch my nose with one of her feathery fingertips. I was curious about some of the ingredients she mentioned, specifically the milk and honey. "What are the milk and honey for?", I soon asked as Angeline continued to snuggle me. "The milk is to add more flavor to the smoothie. For the most part, fairy-type milk is naturally sweet and rich, it is often used to heal others", Angeline remarked in a soft tone. "The honey is a natural male enhancer, designed to go straight into your balls to temporarily boost sperm production", she added with a sweet chuckle at the end. "I figured with as much as Marina and I took out of you that I owed it to your wife to make you as ready for her as you were with us", Angeline replied sweetly before the female ribombee returned with a glass filled with the pink-colored smoothie. "Here you are, one fresh "Moonblast Supreme"", she announced as Angeline took the glass. "Thank you, my dear", Angeline replied politely before giving the glass to me. Meanwhile, I noticed that the female ribombee was looking at me with considerable interest. "Say...he's quite the cutie! Would it be alright if I enjoyed some of his 'pollen'?", she remarked gleefully just as I was starting to sip the glass filled with the cool and sweet smoothie. "I think he needs some time to rest, honey. However, you can enjoy some of what he put inside my 'flower'", Angeline replied in a sweet tone, making the female ribombee blush and chuckle. She then flew down to where Angeline's pussy lips were and began to lick at her. "Mmm...she enjoys giving oral sex to males while rubbing against them", Angeline commented to me while I drank some more of the smoothie. "In the meantime, I'll keep you here with me for a bit until that smoothie kicks in, then we can get dressed and I'll take you back to the lobby", she added. "Hopefully by then your wife will be finished with her session and we can talk about business", Angeline explained softly before she kissed my cheek and stroked my head fur, still holding me to her soft body as I enjoyed the drink she gave to me. End of Part 2
