Me: Hello! Yeah that's right! A new chapter! sorry for the long wait though, I've been super busy. You can ask Gray if you don't believe me!
Gray: *rolls eyes* She's telling the truth for once. But anyway, have you found anyone else to stay with us yet?
Me: Oh yeah! Say hi to….*drum roll* Loke!
Loke: Hi there! *waves*
Me: He's the only other person who has lots of free time!
Gray: Loke! How long has it been since we've seen each other? *gives each other fist bumps*
Me: Aww~ What a sweet little reunion! But I have to answer some reviews now!
Loke: What?
Me: Oh yeah, I didn't tell you why you're here...You'll understand after this chapter!
Loke: Chapter?
Me: Like I said, wait until the end of this chapter!
Darkhuntressxir: yup.. hitting people with chicken leg are fun and addicting... aww that so sweet of you gray...*give author and gray a tub of ice cream*
Me: Did someone say ice-cream?! *two tub of ice-cream appear out of nowhere*
Me&Gray: ICE-CREAM! *dive towards them*
Me: This is some good ice-cream!
Gray: For once, I agree with you!
Me: And yes, hitting people with a chicken leg IS fun and addicting! Isn't that right, Gray?
Gray: NO! It hurts like hell!
Me: That's why it's fun! Thank you for the review~
dust diamond: I LOVED THIS CHAPTER (( fangirl heart attack)) ok ok I'm all good so gray here's an idea try being a hero what you could pay some guys to attack natsu not really of course you save him from the fake bad guys and he falls in love with you and all that good stuff or...YOU COULD MAN UP AND TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL GRAY! Any way good chapter please update soon
Me: Awwww! Stop it you, you made me blush! :#D
Gray: That idea is so clever! Why didn't I think of it before?
Me: Because you're not as awesome as her! See? She even told you to man up!
Gray: *in emo corner* I am a man..*sniff* Why won't you people believe me?
Me: Big baby! But thanks for the review!
Theabridgedkuriboh: Awwwww progress...sort of. So if Natsu is sick...GRAY YOU SHOULD CATCH IT. THIS WAY YOU CAN SPEND TIME WITH HIM. Hehe Cancer That is one douche hospital
Gray: *still mourning about the money* IT WAS ALL THE MONEY I HAVE! *sob*
Me: Dude, I don't know if you know this but rewards are usually much higher than that..
Gray: Yeah, but I got lazy so I took up an easy job! *sniff*
Me: *sigh* Even Lucy takes more job than you! What's gotten into you these days?
Gray: *sniff* Shut up…
Me: Thank you for the review! I think you're the only one who laugh at the cancer thing..*sad face* But then again, cancer isn't suppose to be funny*poker face*…Hmm..Oh well!
WhatifStoryTeller: I was thinking of a different ending, Natsu sneezed, fire comes out, and melts the ice sculpture. Gray, even Happy knows about it; it's time buddy, it's time... (echo effect). Maybe send a mystery gift, without your name, to Natsu.
Me: Well, he did melt it in the end…(Let me write about this in this chapter)
Gray: At least he likes it!
Me: Yup!
Gray: Mystery gift…sounds great!
Me: Yup! I'll use it! *thumbs up* Although, you really should just tell him…
Gray: I'm cool with never telling him.
Me: Thanks for the review!
IvoryQueen: I love this! I really do! You're starting to push Gray towards Natsu and I love it! But, I'm going to be the evil nitpicker and play the devil's advocate with two points here.1) Plue, though it was a SOMEWHAT steep price, cost twenty thousand jewel. If Gray left the hospital for three thousand jewel, than that's a REALLY generous hospital, and if he doesn't have that kind of money with plenty to spare, he needs to be working more.
-Natsu carted a (most likely) three ton Rainbow Sakura tree through Magnolia for Lucy (even if he did use the water ways to help. It's really sad that Gray can't lift a three foot dragon ice sculpture.
Don't be afraid of over exaggeration. It's a writer's tool. And if you think it grossly inaccurate, fact check. Wiki is your friend. So are your fans! If you ever have a question about a reasonable over exaggeration, I follow Fairy Tail religiously and would be happy to help. PM me with , use me. But anyways, I loved the chapter! And tell Gray I'd be more than happy to join the Author's not dialogue so he's not alone!
Best of luck ;) IvoryQueen
Ohhh! I was afraid of over exaggeration so that's why I wrote that! But thanks! I'll make sure to ask you if I need any help! You are also VERY welcome to join the Author's not dialogue! :D I wonder if everyone here is as nice as you!
PianoNL: Now that I think about where to put the ice dragon - though I would say it'll look quite ugly later (no offence Gray, it'll melt soon enough! XD). Although, Gray, Natsu won't even feel loving you if you just keep giving him stuff! You should ask him on a big occasion, like going to the park or whatever with just the 2 of you! It'll be MUCH better, although, I bet Ron has a better chance on going out with Natsu, bad luck Gray! XD
Gray: I'm not offended at all! But I'll continue giving him things! Who knows? Maybe something will happen!
Me: Yeah! Like him asking you why you're giving him random things at random times! Or smacking you for giving him a gift in the middle of the night!
Gray: I would never go into his house in the middle of the night!
Me: Some day in the future you will, I've never been so sure in my life!
Gray: Tsk! But shouldn't it be 'Good luck, Gray'?
Me: I think she meant to spell it that way…And Ron definitely has a better chance of going out with Natsu!
Gray: Can't believe he's still alive..*mumble some really colourful words*
Me: That idea is good though, thank you for the review! Although, you don't mind if I twist the idea a little, right?
Cat: Yay dragon! I wanna know what kind :) Don't forget about your loyal cat-friend! May it rain cats Nya!
I would NEVER forget about cats! How could I?! And the dragon kinda looks like Igneel but you know…blue..And I hope it rains cat soon! But won't they get hurt from falling? Thank you for the review!
Dattebayo Luna and Ginny: Oh love this story update soon
I'll try to update as much as I can but I'm pretty lazy…XD Thanks for the review!
Kayxs: Gray is just one big fail! It's hilarious! (And cute) *giggles* your stories are always so funny! Gratsu is the best! (Gruvia and Nalu should be abolished!) *evil laugh*
Aww! Y-you're making me blush! w Thank you for your compliments! I agree with you on the Nalu and Gruvia thing….THEY SHOULD BE DESTROYED! Ahem, thank you anyway! :)
GYBoba: Lol this is actually pretty funny. Once Natsu is better, Gray and Natsu should go on a mission alone so gray could get money and ask Natsu out.
That's a pretty good idea! :3 Although, I can't write fighting scenes! XD I hope you don't mind when I write that idea lol…It'll be a simple mission! Thank you so much for reviewing and for liking my sense of humor!
A few weeks had passed and Natsu was now fully recovered. Although, he felt bad for melting the ice sculpture with his sneeze, who knew he could sneeze fire? Gray even got burns because he was in the way, which explains why he was lying on the couch awake, but not moving.
"Next time he gets sick, I'm staying as far away as possible from him.." the raven muttered and sighed. He was hungry but even sitting up hurts. He was standing in front of the boy when he sneezed, even though he managed to dodge in time, he still got some burns on his body: one on his right elbow, a HUGE burn on his stomach, one on his left ankle and a tiny little mark on his left wrist.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Gray looked over to the door and thought about trying to walk towards it.
"…Screw it, I'm an injured person. COME IN UNLESS YOU'RE A ROBBER!" he shouted as loud as possible even though the door was only a few feet away.
"You really think a robber would knock first before coming in?" the source of his injuries opened the door and walked in causally. He then flopped down on the floor in front of the couch and stared up at him.
"Hello to you too…And not trying to be rude, but why the hell are you here?" Gray looked down at him.
Natsu scratched behind his head and looked away from the ice mage, "I just feel kinda bad for your injuries and wanted to check on you. I brought some gifts but then I got hungry on the way here..." he added that last part with a sheepish grin.
"When are you NOT hungry? I mean seriously, if you don't stop now you'll become like.." the raven made a really fat version of Natsu out of ice, "..this!"
"Just so you know, I've been eating a lot since I can and has never gained that much weight!" the dragon slayer stuck out his tongue at the mage.
'Cute.' Gray thought but then mentally slapped himself, 'No! Stop thinking about that kind of things brain!'
Meanwhile, Natsu was also debating with himself about something. 'Should I ask him now?' he blushed and stared up at Gray who was spacing out. 'Maybe later!' he sweat dropped nervously. 'But I'll never get the chance again!'
He continued arguing with himself until Gray snapped out of his own argument and noticed the dragon slayer staring at the floor like his was trying to burn it with his eyes.
"Natsu?"
When he didn't respond, he decided to shout, "NATSU!"
"I WASN'T ARGUING WITH MYSELF!" was the immediate responds from him.
Gray stared at him in confusion, "What?"
Natsu blushed, "U-umm…"
Suddenly, two chibi version of himself popped onto his shoulders. One had a red glow and also had horns and a sharp tail. The other one had a soft blue glows and angel wings together with a halo. They were both identical other than that.
"Come on, now's your chance!" the blue one said excitedly.
"No way! Don't listen to Mr goody-two-shoes there!" the red one shouted, "Don't ask him! Who cares if you never get a date with him?"
The blue Natsu chibi rolled his eyes, "Seriously? You're gonna listen to the one with the horns and stuff? Not to mention the horrible thing about not having a date with him."
"Well…If you put it that way.." the real Natsu started.
"No! Hear me out will ya?!" the red Natsu cried.
"No way!" the blue one shouted and all three of them started arguing.
Meanwhile in the real world, Gray was staring at Natsu like he had grown two heads. "Should I start running?"
"Listen to me, I tell you..errr…me! Everything will work out!" devil Natsu yelled.
"No it won't! Ask him out, me!" angel Natsu started waving his arms around, obviously annoyed by devil Natsu.
"Guys, enough! I've settled!" Natsu yelled, "I'm gonna do it!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
Both Natsus yelled at the same time before poofing away.
Gray watched as Natsu started shouting about "Doing it" or whatever and was seriously thinking about running away from him or calling for help if he couldn't. He had never seen a crazy dragon slayer before, who knew what could happen? Especially since he's injured.
"Umm…you done yet?" he asked timidly. The best way not to get hurt is by being nice….and then running out of the house like a mad man if it didn't work.
The dragon slayer shook his head to clear his mind, "Y-yeah! Sorry about that..I was..thinking!" he laughed nervously. 'Now he's gonna think I'm crazy!..am I?'
"O-okay…but if you have a sudden urge to kill someone, take it out on the couch!" the ice mage laughed nervously, making Natsu sweat dropped.
'Now he's afraid of me!'
"S-so….I was wondering…" he paused for a while, "..w-willyougowithmetotheamusementpark?!"
Gray blinked, "What? Speak slower."
The dragon slayer took a deep breath to compose himself, "W-will you go with me to the amusement park? They just opened recently and yeah…I really wanna go…"
"YES!" the raven exclaimed with both his arms up in the air, making Natsu stared at him in shock.
"I-I mean, of course, if you want to go so badly.." he tried to act like that little outburst didn't happen.
"Really? Thank you thank you thank you!" the dragon slayer grinned happily. "Well, I'll see you this Friday! Bye!" he closed the door and headed towards the guild to tell Lucy and Erza about it. Not like he had a choice, they would force him to tell them sooner or later. He prefer sooner since there would be less violence in there.
"He asked me to go with him to somewhere! I guess it was too hard for him to resist my awesomeness!" Gray said proudly to himself.
"What awesomeness?" a voice asked beside him.
"GAAH!" the ice mage turned his head to the side so fast, his neck cracked. "Happy?!"
"The one and only!" the exceed gave him a cat-like smile before continuing, "So, he asked you out?"
"Of course! No one can resist my charm!" the raven stated proudly.
Happy stared at him, "Charm? I know lots of people with charms! Loke, Charle(*sighs dreamily *), Erza, heck even Lucy! But your charm isn't that great compared to them.."
"Shut up you stupid cat!" Gray's eyebrows twitched and he tried to catch Happy but he was standing too far away.
"What does he see in you?"
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE I TURN YOU INTO CAT ICE-CREAM!"
(Three days later)
Gray was currently standing in front of Natsu's house looking and feeling very nervous. Since they were going to an amusement park, he didn't really bother to wear anything fancy. All he wore was a black jacket over a midnight blue shirt and a pair of light blue jeans.
He had thought about getting him gifts but had decided to stop giving him stuff since he needed money for himself too. He had a stupid smile pestered on his face even though he was so close to running to the nearest mirror to check his outfit and hair again.
He then knocked on the door three times.
"Coming!~" Natsu answered from the inside. There were sounds of objects being knocked on the floor and someone tripping before the door opened to reveal the mage.
He was wearing a red shirt with orange outlines at the end of the sleeves and his usual white scarf around his neck. He was also wearing a pair of black shorts that reached his knees. He wanted to wear something meaningful and unique for the hang-out(cough*date*cough) so he changed his wrist band with a black rivalry/friendship bracelet given to him when he was younger by none other than Gray Fullbuster.
"You look great!" Gray complimented without thinking.
"T-thanks! You're looking nice yourself too." Natsu complimented back with a grin.
They spent the next few minutes of walking, talking about recent missions and things like that.
"Here we are!" Natsu said and pointed to a sign.
'WELCOME TO OUR GRAND-OPENING! PLEASE DO COME IN!' was written in colourful letters on a red and orange board.
"Let's go~" he said in a sing-song voice and ran inside excitedly.
Gray watched as he ran around the place, almost bumping into people here and there, "I guess I should make sure that idiot doesn't destroy anything." He smiled warmly and went after the boy.
Natsu was having the time of his life just looking at all those rides and stands around him. "So many rides yet so less time!" he shouted and darted his head back and forth to determined where to go first.
He saw a roller coaster nearby but just the thought of sitting in it as it moves at a speed faster than Happy was terrifying and made him want to throw up everything he ate for lunch, which was a lot.
He then saw a huge house near the roller coaster. Paint was peeling from it and there were bats and crows flying in circles at the top of it. There was also red substances on one of the many windows that could be seen at the front.
"So cool…" he muttered under his breath.
"What's so cool?" Gray asked from behind him suddenly.
"That house! Let's go there!" the dragon slayer answered, somehow not surprised by how suddenly Gray popped out from behind him and started pulling him by his arm towards the house.
"A-alright!"
"Welcome to the Magnolia Haunted House, or MHH for short! I assume you want to go in?" a man asked from behind a table that was decorated with pictures of bats and zombie.
"Yup!" Natsu answered enthusiastically.
The man grinned, showing his black and yellow teeth, "Haha! I will act as your guide then, follow me~" He stopped at the door, "Hurry up!"
Gray looked at the man then to Natsu, "I don't trust that guy…Look at how he's dressed!" he gestured to the man who was wearing a white lab coat and a black shirt beneath it, "Never trust a guy with a lab coat, never! I've watched enough horror movies to know that!"
The pinkette smirked, "Are you sure? Or is it because you're too scared?"
That got the raven all worked up, "Scared? Me?! Pfft! And who was the one who cried at the end of 'Marley and me'?"
Natsu blushed, "I had butter in my eyes! You threw popcorns at me!"
"Oh, so you hugged my arm throughout the entire movie of 'Saw' because of I threw my soda at you?" he retorted smugly. Although, he couldn't say he didn't enjoy having the boy curled up next to him, even if he was covered in grape soda.
"I'm not getting any younger here!" the man with the lab coat yelled impatiently.
"Right, sorry!" Natsu apologized and stuck his tongue out at the raven, "I'm going in myself if you're too scared, ice princess!" he walked over quickly towards the man.
"He has got to stop sticking his tongue out like that…" Gray blushed before following close behind.
"Let the tour begin! I'm Bobby by the way!" the man, now known as Bobby, said.
The two mages shivered at the name, it reminded them if Bob, the man who could give grown men and women nightmares for an entire year.
"Well, this is the first floor of the house! Feel free to ask questions during the tour and try not to get killed by the many monsters here!" Bobby said with a wide grin. Natsu shivered at the monster part while Gray just rolled his eyes.
"Well, this place is pretty nice." The raven stated plainly and took a good look around the room. It looked like a giant living room furnitures like: red carpets, a green couch, a giant lamp and even a television. There were also portraits of some random people hanging around, although one particular portrait caught his attention.
"Hey, umm..Bobby! Who's this ugly woman in this portrait? Oh my God, my eyes are burning!" he shouted and covered his eyes with his hands.
He's eyebrow twitched, "First of all, that's NOT a portrait, it's a window! Second, THAT'S MY WIFE STANDING OUTSIDE!"
Gray sweat dropped when he realised that it was indeed a window. No wonder it looked different from all the other portraits, "W-well, give us a tour then! Tell us about this place!"
Bobby gave him a glare and turned to Natsu, "How do you survive with him?"
The dragon slayer shrugged, "I have no idea!"
Gray walked over to where they were, "What are you two whispering about?"
"Nothing! Anyway, let me tell you about this place." Bobby started, "You see, a few years ago, there was a family of five who lived here."
(Flashback[I think?])
"Daddy! Daddy! Look what I found~" a little girl said, running up to a man who was sitting on a green couch and reading a book. The little girl showed him a little green ball she found.
"That's…very nice! Where did you find it, Alice?" the man asked, putting down his book.
"It just kind of…rolled in front of me!" Alice replied and took a closer look at the ball. "It looks new! Can I keep it, daddy?" she asked cutely.
"I guess so, just don't play with it in the middle of the night, all right?"
"Yes, daddy!"
Alice spent the rest of the day playing with the ball, she threw it at a tree and it bounced back. She did that for a while before dribbling it on the floor. She even got her big brother, Oliver, to play with her!
But soon, the sun started to set and it was time for dinner.
"Alice!~ Dinner time!" her mother, Angela, called from the kitchen.
"Coming, mommy!" she replied happily and ran to her room to put the ball there. She wouldn't want to lose it!
"Alice! Hurry up!" her mother said from the kitchen.
"Almost there, mommy!" she replied and looked fondly at the ball before running down to eat dinner.
"There you are! I'm starving~" her older sister, Lilla, said.
"Sorry~" she apologised and picked up her chop sticks, "Itadakimasu!"
The whole family said the same thing and started eating. They talked about how their days went and when it was Alice's turn, she told them all about her new toy and how fun it was playing with Oliver. Her mother laughed at how excited she was while she continued talking about it.
Suddenly, a bouncing sound was heard from the stairs that leads to Alice's room.
"What is that sound?" Alice's dad asked.
The green ball that Alice found suddenly bounced down from the stairs and it rolled until it was right in front of her.
"Oh! It was just my toy~" Alice said happily and picked it up.
"But how did it get down here?" Oliver asked curiously.
Alice put her little finger on her chin, "Hmm, maybe I forgot to close the door and the wind blew it down here?" For a five years old, she was really intelligent.
"Oh, well be careful next time! Someone might trip over it!" Angela scolded gently.
"Yes, mommy!"
Alice skipped to her room after dinner and placed the ball on her bed, "There you go! I hope you don't roll outside again! Hehe!"
She quickly changed into her night gown before jumping into her bed, Oyasumi!"
Meanwhile, Angela was sleeping next to her husband soundly when she felt a nudge at her side. She opened her eyes after the third time it happened, only to come face to face with the ball.
"Alice?" she asked looking around the room but she was nowhere to be found.
"Nope, just me…" a deep voice said, seemingly coming from the ball.
Angela's eyes widen in horror, "Y-you can talk?!"
"Oh my dear, I can do things no one can imagine!" the voice let out a laughed strong enough to shake the whole bed.
"W-what do you want?!" she was practically crying now.
"Revange." Was the simple answer from the ball before everything was painted red.
The ball then 'turned' towards her husband, "I shall show you mercy and end your life while you are still under my spell."
The next day, Alice was awoken by a horrible smell coming from her parent's room. She looked around for her green ball but it was nowhere to be found so she went into the room in disappointment. A few minutes later, she let out a scream which woke up the whole house.
"Alice! What hap-" Oliver and Lilla came rushing in only to see their mother all chopped up in pieces and a huge gaping hole where their father's heart use to be. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find their mother's head.
While the three siblings were crying and watching policemen take away their parent's bodies, a little green ball sat on a hill nearby, watching them.
(End)
Natsu stared at the man in shock and Gray just stared at Bobby with a dumbfounded look.
"W-why did the ball do that?" the raven asked.
"Well," Bobby seemed to be enjoying their fears a little too much "some people said that Angela killed one of her ex-boyfriend and stuffed his head in a green ball when she couldn't burn it with fire for some reason. Her husband helped her to do it which explained why he was killed too."
Right after he said that, a green ball suddenly rolled out from under the couch.
Natsu then let out a very unmanly scream, "IT CAME TO TAKE IT'S REVANGE ON US! GGRAYYYYYYY!"
He jumped onto the unsuspecting ice mage's back while still screaming.
"Woah! G-get the fuck off of me!" Gray shouted and tried to pry him off his back.
"Get it away! Get is away!" Natsu cried and tightened his grip.
"Ouch! Get off! And when is the last time you cut your nails?! THEY'RE LIKE CLAWS!" the raven shouted and tried to get the fire mage to let go of his poor shoulders.
Bobby watched in amusement as Gray ran around in circles with a, close to crying, Natsu on his back. They looked very much like a couple. But as much as he would love to stay back and watch those act like a couple, he had to go greet another customer outside.
"Well, as much as I love watching you two act like a couple, I have to go now. Feel free to walk around!" and with that, he walked out of the house.
"We do not act like a couple!" Natsu yelled at where he stood a few minutes ago. He was still clinging onto Gray's back.
"Can you get off of me now? The ball is gone!" Gray asked grumpily.
"Huh? Really?"
The fire mage looked at where the ball was but it wasn't there anymore. 'Must have gotten away when I was clinging onto Gray's back…He felt so nice and warm…I wish I could stay here forever….' he shook his head to clear away those thoughts 'No! Stop thinking like that Natsu!'
"Natsu? You okay, man?" Gray looked at him in concern. "You spaced out for a bit there."
"I-I'm fine! Let's go explore the place!" his previous excitement came back and he started running towards the first door he sees. "Come on! This door looks interesting!"
The raven shrugged and walked over to where the endless ball of energy was, "What do you think is behind this door?"
"Only one way to find out!" Natsu opened the door slowly, half expecting something to jump out and scare him shitless. But all he saw was emptiness. "Huh?"
"I guess they forgot to put scary stuff in this-" a human head suddenly rolled out from the darkest corner of the room. "r-room…" he finished.
A menacing laughter came out from the head, scaring not only Natsu but also Gray. The mouth of the head wasn't even moving! Its eyes glared at the two mages, as if trying to dig a hole right through their heads.
"GRAYYYY!"
Before he knew it, the raven felt something climb on his back again.
"This is going to be a looooong trip.."
After a few more scares by headless bodies, more heads and a headless body holding a man's head in one hand and in the other hand a giant butcher knife, they finally decided to go somewhere else.
"T-that was..interesting!" Natsu said, trying very hard not to think of the mad grinning head again.
"Yeah, I like the parts where you WEREN'T clinging onto me!" Gray said even though deep inside, he loved every second Natsu held onto him. It made him want to protect the pinkette with every fiber of his being.
"S-shut up! You know what? I'm hungry! Let's find a place to eat."
The ice mage sighed, "Fine, but I'm not treating you."
"Aww, why not?" Natsu gave him his best puppy dog eyes.
Gray tried not to fall victim to the evilest thing on Earthland, also known as Natsu's puppy dog eyes. "N-n-" His words died in his throat when Natsu started hugging his arm. "F-fine…"
"Thank you~" the dragon slayer said cutely while still hugging his arms.
"Do you mind? I need my arm to eat and to pay."
"Sorry!"
"…and so he said: "Damn, you're strong for a teenager!" And I was like: "Hell yeah I am!" before running off with Happy!" Natsu laughed before taking another bit out of his chicken leg.
"Seriously? You didn't send him to prison or something? You just left him there?" Gray asked, ignoring his shaved ice which was right in front of him.
"Nope! That jerk deserved it anyway!"
They were talking about their recent missions again and Natsu was telling Gray about how he took down four fully grown lighting mage all alone. The last one to go down was the strongest.
"Yeah, I guess so.." the raven agreed and finally took another bit out of his shaved ice. "Oh! I just remember that one time when I-"
"Gray?! Is that really you?!" a voice asked behind him.
"W-what?" the ice mage turned around in shock, he could recognize that voice anywhere.
"LYON?!"
Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger! Aren't I evil? Muahahaha! Phew so how was this chapter? It's over 5000 words! I told you it was gonna be long! (Ya know, in my other story)
Me: So as usual, REVIEW OR GRAY WILL NEVER GET A DATE WITH NATSU!
Gray: WHAT!?
Me: Nah, just kidding but please review!
