1. Intro

Just Relax

PLEASE READ:

Hello, everybody. Now, this story is going to deal with a topic that many teenage girls and young women are loath to dwell on or even discuss: going in for regular PAP smears. I have actually wanted write a fanfic that revolves around this subject matter for a few years now – ever since I first found out what PAP smears were in my 10th grade Health class. I'll admit that my first reaction to learning of them was, "WHAT? They DO this?" (Which is actually a question voiced by various characters many times in the following story) and if I remember correctly, I even went to sleep that night with my legs crossed, LOL! :P

Anyway, I just wanted to clear a few things up about why I gave this fic the rating I did…it's going to be considerably more heavy – handed and pathos – laden than most of my other fics, and for another thing, it deals with very personal health and wellness concerns for women. Writing heavy – handed and pathos – laden works of fiction is something that does not come naturally to me, given the fact that I usually use humor as my coping method of choice when dealing with life's problems and obstacles.

Any flames or immature comments will not be tolerated.

I was inspired to write this fanfic in order to gather courage for what may be soon to come – and also, to help others my age getting ready for their first PAP smear to feel empowered and relaxed as well.

It's not gonna be that bad. That's what I've heard, anyway. :)

Love to all,
