M.L.D: Hello and welcome back to 'A Simple Thread' everyone!
Kusukusu: So, Nagi and Rima are going out starting in this chapter, right?
M.L.D: *nods* Yup! Let's see what chaos can these two love birds cause today.
Kusukusu: Okay, hehe. MoonLightDaiyz owns nothing of Shugo Chara or it's contents; just her own OCs. Please enjoy the following chapter ^^
~ …Chapter Twenty – Just our secret!… ~
Rima's POV ...
I smiled gently to myself as I fluffed my thick wavy ponytail on top of my head and studied my reflecting image in the downstairs bathroom's mirror. I was downstairs, having just finished eating some cinnamon toast cereal and brushing my teeth -in that order. Kusukusu was floating just beside my shoulder, brushing her tiny teeth, "Brush-brush-brush! Brush-brush-brush!" She chanted to herself in a small sing-song voice. I couldn't help but giggle at her.
Tying my blue ribbon around the beginning of my high ponytail, I blinked cutely as I heard the distant ringing of the front doorbell; I giggled some more as I hurried into the living room and grabbed my schoolbag, waited for Kusukusu and then I rushed over to the front door of my home, opening the front door revealing a genuine smiling Nagihiko.
"Good morning, Nagihiko." I chimed up to him with a beaming Kusukusu floating slightly above me.
"Good morning, Rima-chan, haha," he smiled down to me. "Did you sleep well?"
"Mhm," I giggled, nodding my head and reached into my blazer pocket for the house key, after finding it, I turned into the house and called out, "See you later, Mamma. I'm off to school."
"Be safe, Ri-chan, oh and don't forget to get some soy sauce for dinner tonight. I put the money in your schoolbag already." She told me. I nodded my head and locked the door.
Nagihiko smiled down to me as we started towards school side by side. It was warm out today, and the sidewalks were slightly busy as per usual. Mine and Nagihiko's Charas floated a little ways ahead of us, chatting amongst themselves.
"So, how is your arm?" I ask, getting slightly bored of the silence surrounding us. Nagihiko blinked and glanced over down to me, "Well, the doctor said that the cast should be okay to take off today. The bones healed and everything, haha. I just have to be careful, because it's still tender a bit."
"Well, that's good news. Nagi-kun gets to be all better again." I smiled lightly, making the purple haired boy chuckle beside me.
"Haha, 'Nagi-kun'? Hmm . . . Nagi likes the sounds of that." Nagihiko smirked as he wrapped his arm around my small waist, making me giggle a little, but I blinked and glanced down to my shoes. "Um, Nagihiko . . . would it be alright if we didn't tell Amu and the others about us just yet?"
"Hm, why?"
"Well, you know how they can be . . . and you can't forget about our fans. Your fangirls would nearly kill me for dating you." I tried to explain. Nagihiko nodded his head in understanding, "You're worried about how everyone will react about us. It's understandable, haha. I can practiclly imagine the crazy plots of your fanboys if they were to find out."
"I don't want anything bad to happen to you because of me."
Nagihiko looked over to me with a taken aback look on his face, "Rima-chan . . . nothing bad is going to happen, alright? I'm happy, you're happy; why should we care what anyone else has to think about us? But, if you'd feel more comfortable about keeping us a secret, then I'll accept that . . . as long as I get to be with you, I'm okay." He smiled down to me.
I blinked as I glanced up to him, "Aw, Nagihiko . . . you're so sweet."
"Heh, well I sort of get that alot." He smirked down to me and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on my cheek. I giggled softly as I felt him playfully nibble a bit on my skin, "Nagihiko, hehe, stop it, hehe."
"What if I don't want to . . . ?" He mused as he leaned closer to me.
"I'm serious, Nagi, that tickles. Stop it already," I giggled some more as I reached up, placing my hands on his chest, but nearly gasped as I glanced across the street finding Amu arguing with her three Charas. "Na-Nagihiko, I'm totally serious now. Stop it, like right now." I told him; only to recieve him to lean down more to me and peck a small kiss on the corner of my mouth; I mentally panicked and shoved him from me into a rushing black haired girl who was wearing the girls' version of the Seiyo high division's uniform. Nagihiko blinked and quickly apologized to the girl and then he quickly turned to me, "What was that for?"
"Because Amu's over there. What if she saw us?" I asked him, pointing behind him and he glanced over his shoulder. "Ooohh . . ."
"Yeah, 'ooohh . . .'; we have to be more careful, Nagi."
He shrugged his shoulders as he turned and smiled lightly down to me, "It doesn't seem like she saw us."
"Luckily . . . but, we need to be a little more careful, Nagi."
"Alright, alright . . . but, once you think about it; it could be sort of fun to be secretly dating and all." Nagihiko hummed innocently with a sly smirk playing across his lips. Rhythm laughed a little as he floated over to me, "Fun and . . . hot." He smiled over to me; I felt myself blush a little at that comment.
"Rhythm, will you grow up already," I scoffed lightly, closing my eyes with my cheeks tinting pink. "A-anyways, we should be going; school can start at any minute."
"Heh, smooth subject change, Rima." Kusukusu smirked beside a tittering Temari. I growled under my breath; I caught Nagihiko chuckling on the side of me, "It's not funny. Stop encouraging them."
"Hahaha."
~ … A Simple Thread … ~
I yawned softly as I was sitting in my assigned seat at my group's table totally bored out of my mind; Amu was sitting just left beside me, so there was a bit of entertainment in that. It was 3rd period, Health class and Tanakawa-sensei was babbling on about some mess about what foods were best for kids around our age and whatnot; you know the utterly dreadful and boring stuff, which should occur to him that many kids would follow the opposite of. Shrugging my shoulders at the thought, I rolled my eyes and scoffed lightly under my breath, making Amu glance up from her health education book. She looked over to me and giggled softly, "Bored again?" She whispered. I looked over to her and couldn't help but smile in return.
"Sorta." I replied in a gentle tone of voice, with a snickering Kusukusu at my shoulder. Amu and her Charas giggled softly along. I smiled at the four of them, but my smile soon fell as Tanakawa-sensei glanced over in our direction. I quickly pursed my lips together as I looked down into my hardcovered book, pretending to follow along. After a few seconds, I sighed and glanced around the room; Tadase and Nagihiko were sitting at the same table, side by side, following along with the "interesting" facts that our sensei was mumbling on about and junk. They were obviously taking turns writing down and sharing notes.
'Total bore . . .' I thought to myself, but blinked as I noticed Nagihiko staring over to me from the corners of his eyes, smirking lightly. His hand was busy scribbling down some writing and his face was facing towards the front of the class. He seemed to chuckle a bit as he noticed my staring, but kept himself oblivious to Tadase.
I felt myself blush at this, 'Could he get any cuter . . . ? Even with his broken arm . . . he's still unbelievable,' I thought to myself as I unconsciously curled a loose strand of my pony tail, a bit embarrassed of the small pink at my cheeks.
'You're so cute.' He mouthed over to me with a playful wink; I giggled softly to myself. I've never noticed how silly Nagihiko could be; he's adorable at times. With that cool, laidback attitude of his and cute features that could make any girl fall head over heels . . . why didn't I ever notice any of these things before? Maybe because I hated him so much? But, I sort of noticed that he was pretty cute, funny and really smart; although I've picked on him a few times, which by the way, totally hilarious.
I felt my lips curve into a small cute smile at the memory.
"Hmm . . . I've never seen that smile before, Rima." I heard Amu's voice coo over to me. I sucked in a quick breath as I turned my attention towards her, finding her smirking at me slyly. "What's up, huh?"
"N-nothing . . ." I told her as I refaced my health book.
"Yeah right, now try telling me what's really going on. Who were you just giving the flirty smile to, hm?"
"Flirty smile? There wasn't a flirty smile, haha. No, no, you're obviously delusional." I quickly tell her, while mentally scolding myself. Just earlier, I was scolding and nagging at Nagihiko about giving the fact of our dating away and here I am acting all love sick and flirtsy in class! I guess this is one of those things that people being an item can't help . . .
Amu looked me over with an observant eye and then slowly went back to her following of the book; I managed out a small, soft sigh as I inwardly cursed to myself, following after her suit. Kusukusu was floating just above the surface of the table, smiling up to me. I glanced over to her and smiled back.
'Watch yourself, Rima,' she told me through our mind link. I rolled my eyes at this, but kept a calm profile as I pretended to read along with Tanakawa-sensei.
~ …A Simple Thread…~
… LUNCH PERIOD …
"Open up, Nagihiko." I told the purple haired boy who sat across from me; he easily complied with a small smile on his face. I shook my head, giggling softly at this, "You're such a kid at times."
"It isn't much of a bad thing," he playfully pouted over to me; Kusukusu, Rhythm and Temari chuckled amongst each other at this; I guess they were happy that Nagihiko and I finally got together. Hehe, Temari seemed the most excited though. But anyways, we were sitting in an emptied class room, like we had been doing since Monday . . . but, this time we were enjoying ourselves and taking our sweet time.
I leaned over my desk a bit and dabbed a small napkin on the corner of his mouth, "Messy eater."
Nagihiko gave me a pouty offended look, "But, RiRi-tan's the one feeding Fuji-kun . . . it's not his fault that she doesn't know how to aim well."
"And would it be my fault if I stopped feeding Fuji-kun?" I ask him as I glanced up over to him; he blinked and sweat dropped at this, "I'll be good." He quickly told me and I giggled lightly to myself. Seems like Rima Mashiro has won a verbal debate against the all-perfect Nagihiko Fujisaki; but I blinked as I noticed the sudden chatter outside of the classroom. Nagihiko and I both glanced towards the door, "Huh?"
"What's all the fuss, I wonder . . ." Temari said gently as she floated a bit to my shoulder, giving Rhythm and Kusukusu a thoughtful glance; they in turn, simply shrugged their shoulders in unison and turned over to me and Nagihiko. We both sat silent as we listened on to the various conversations in the hallway just outside the door.
"C'mon! I want to go see the new girl, hehe." A girl's voice giggled, with a small pitter patter of trailing footsteps.
"It's just a transfer student, nothing major. You're getting way too excited about this." Her friend commented; their conversation fading down the hallway.
"Oh, it's just a new student, that's all." I said as I turned back to feed Nagihiko.
"Could I have some of your pudding, Rima-chan?"
I rolled my eyes as I took the small pudding cup and placed it inside of my bento box, "Nuh-uhn, Nagi-kun hasn't even finished eating his lunch first." I told him with a small smile. Nagihiko chuckled over to me as he opened his mouth, letting me feed him, "Aah~" he mused, making me, Temari and Kusukusu giggle in unison; Rhythm smirked at this and floated over to me, sitting on my small shoulder.
Lunch today, is going really nice. No distractions, no interruptions . . . just the two of us; me and Nagihiko (along with our Charas; they were busy people watching, making fun of funny looking people and whatnot).
Nagihiko didn't want me to be all hungry, so we're sharing our lunches, with me feeding both myself and Nagi-kun. It's still surprising that the two of us are dating, but for some reason it seems pretty natural, like it was meant to happen. I rolled my eyes at the thought . . . now, I sound like Eru, haha.
"Hmm, what's RiRi-tan thinking about?" The purple haired boy asked me, drawing me away from my silly various thoughts. "Hm?" I hum gently, dipping the delicate spoon into the delicious beef bowl. Nagihiko smiled at this, "What's rummaging through that mind of yours?" He asked again with a hint of a chuckle. I blinked and then shook my head, a small smile playing across my lips. "Nothing, I'm just a little giddy."
"About what?" He smiled over to me.
"Nothing, you crazy baka." I giggled over to him as I dipped the small metal spoon into the soup, ready to feed him. He nodded his head with a soft chuckle, "This is really good, Rima-chan." Nagihiko complimented the meal. I nodded my head, "Mamma made it for you from some leftovers from last night." I explained, leaning over slightly to blow gently on the steamy food, but was startled by a sudden rapping at the classroom's door.
"Ah!" I heard Nagihiko gasp, making me glance over to him. Oops . . . I guess I sort of blew too hard making the soup shoot over and splashing onto the purple head's thin uniform shirt. I winced at this, closing one of my eyes as if I could feel his pain. I sure can imagine it. I'm so sorry, Nagihiko!
The sliding door to the classroom slid open quickly to the room, revealing Tadase and Kukai, "We heard someone scream." Kukai quickly rambled as he and Tadase both stared over to Nagihiko and I. Nagihiko was glancing between me and his shirt and flashed a playful glare as I eased back with an awkward chuckle, sweat dropping at my clumsiness.
'Sorry,' I mouthed over to him as I offered him a few napkins to try to dry off his top. He chuckled softly as he took them from me and went to quickly get the mess out.
"What's going on here?" The brunette smirked slyly, making Nagihiko and I both flinch simutaneously. Nagihiko was the first between us to recover, "Rima was helping me and it kind of got a little messy." The purple haired boy forced a chuckle as he placed the napkins into his bento box. I quickly nodded my head at the explanation.
"Oh, so Mashiro's still following you around and helping you with junk?" Kukai asks. I glared over to him. "Hey, I am not following the gender-confused baka around."
"Ouch," Nagihiko chuckled along with the brunette and the blonde. I flared a small glare towards the three friends.
"Well, anyways," Kukai grinned. "We came to take Nagi-boy off your hands and take him to class . . . maybe we should stop by your gym locker and get you changed out of that shirt first, haha." He joked as Nagihiko grinned sheepishly over to the cackling brunette.
"Sure, it's not like I care." I fanned my hand dismissively; Tadase, Rhythm and Nagihiko all sweat dropped. Standing to my feet, I started collecting mine and Nagihiko's lunches, I could feel the three boys' eyes watching me. Glancing up from my packing, I caught their gazes and blinked my eyes, "What is it?" I nearly growled.
"It's just that . . . I'm pretty sure that you're gonna stay that same size forever, Mashiro." Kukai stated randomly with an awkwardly chuckling Nagihiko and Tadase as they both sweat dropped at the brunette's sudden comment. I felt the emotional stab shoot through me at that, but I ignored it and flared my usual glare over to him. "Hey, I've managed to grow at least two and a half inches since last year, Skater Boy."
Kukai chuckled at this, "Yeah, but you're still pretty short –" He started before I waltzed over and kicked him in his shin. "Ah! Damn it, Mashiro!"
I glanced back to him from over my quite slender shoulder with minor interest, "Hmph. I've already told you all that I'm not small, I'm Bite-sized. Remember that." I stated in a high-class manner before leaving from out of the classroom, with a giggling Kusukusu floating close behind me.
Nagihiko's POV ...
Chuckling inwardly to myself, I watched as Kukai rubbed faintly on his shin as he managed a glare following after Rima-chan. He winced slightly as he grumbled angrily to himself, "Man, that Mashiro . . . you'll never know what she's gonna do."
"Hahaha, an always classic quality of Rima Mashiro that you've got to love." I shook my head as I stood from my seat and started over to my two best friends. Tadase chuckled softly, nodding his head in agreement, "She does keep one on their toes, that's for sure."
"Totally." Rhythm smirked with a tittering Temari beside him.
"I guess . . . but it still sorta hurts, man," Kukai frowned, standing fully to his tall height; I guess the pain was starting to subside a little. "Well, anyways. We should head on out and get you changed, Nagi. We got permission from Tsukasa for an early ten minutes before class starts to get you settled and stuff."
"Uncle is hoping that you're getting better though." Tadase added in as he shifted over a bit, making room for me to exit out of the room, with Kukai and Tadase following after me, soon walking alongside of me; Kukai to my right as was Tadase to my left. I smiled over to the blonde, "Wow, I feel sort of special with all this attention from you all. Too bad that it has to end tomorrow, that's when I'll be able to officially take off this cast, haha."
"Yeah, I like you and all Nagi-boy, but you're so gonna owe me after all this crap. What do you say to a game of basketball after school tomorrow? You know, to see if you're still fit to wear the title of team captian." Kukai grinned over to me as he casually crossed his arms behind his head. Glancing over my shoulder, I returned his grin and a genuine chuckle, "Oh, I'm still fit alright, don't you worry. I see that last night wasn't enough for you, hm? Trying to steal my place?"
"Sorta, haha. I mean, I am older," Kukai laughed a bit. "And here I am taking orders from a guy three years younger than me."
"Well, what do you know. I guess, Kukai can do a little math." Tadase joked, earning a quick glare from the brunette; I smirked at this as we turned into the boy's locker room. Rhythm cackled a laugh as Daichi snickered down at his bearer.
Kukai rolled his eyes, "Ah, shut it, Hotori. Nobody asked you to comment."
Tadase strode over to an emptied wooden bench and sat himself down with Kiseki, "Awh . . . but I felt left out of your two's little banter."
The brunette grumbled something under his breath as he leaned against two lockers behind him, stuffing his hands into his pockets, rolling his eyes. I chuckled some more at my friends as I went over to my locker and twisted in my combination. I just loved mine, Kukai's and Tadase's little conversations.
"Aside from that silly subject. How are things going with you and Utau-neechan, Kukai? Have you asked her yet?" Tadase asked as he leaned his head back, planting his hands onto the bench.
"Nah. Everytime I try to get her attention, either she's with a group of her friends or the prowler's around."
Opening my locker, I laughed silently as I spotted my all white gym shirt and reached my hand inside to get it, "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you mean Ikuto-san, right?"
I heard Kukai let out a sigh, "Yeah . . . I wanna ask Diva out and everything, but there's not really a time when she's alone, y'know?"
"Haha, so you've got cold feet and won't ask her?" Rhythm queried with a playful smirk towards the russet haired boy. Kukai growled a bit before replying, "My feet are about warm temperature, little chibi guy and I will ask her."
"Then ask her." I laughed. "Don't be like those guys who really likes or even loves that special girl and always finds a reason or way not to tell her how he feels and stupidly ends up losing her to another guy. I mean, this is Utau Hoshina, Seiyo's number one pop star. Any guy would be lucky to be with her, and trust me they'll try."
Kukai bellowed a low groan within his throat as he brushed his hand over his face in frustration, "I know that much already, Nagi . . . but, it's not that easy."
"Heh, nobody said it was going to be. Plus, Utau-chan could be slightly difficult at times . . ." I told him. "Like Rima-chan, you have to be a little . . . basically you have to be blunt and straightforward, don't beat around the bush. Set your mind on your goal and for whatever reason, don't lose it."
"You just need to push your ego to the side and come out and tell her, Kukai. It's your best bet, don't end up like me losing Amu-chan to Ikuto-niisan. The only reason nobody has tried to ask her out yet is because you're popular and they can tell that you seem interested in her. Utau-neechan is just a bit too dense to notice, I suppose." Tadase thought that last sentence aloud, making both me and him chuckle as I shrugged off my uniform's blazer and my uniform shirt, and hung them on my locker's door.
Rhythm floated from my shoulder over to the russet and smirked a sporty grin, "Girls like it when a guy can get commanding, dude. If she's around her gal pals just take her to the side and don't take no for an answer."
"Some would consider that as harrassment." I say and my Chara grinned over to me.
"Oh please, it manages to work for Ikuto and some other guys I know." He forced back a laugh at the sight of my light blush.
'I hope when I get older, I become lesser like my Charas. If I don't, please forgive me, Rima-chan . . .' I thought to myself with a tentative sweat drop, trailing down the side of my head.
"Heh, this is sorta backwards," Kukai chuckled softly to himself. "Y'know? I'm sitting here recieving advice from my younger bros, heh, it should be the other way around. I kinda feel like I'm making this all sorta harder than it needs to be."
"Most guys do, but I guess they're just as nervous with expressing their feelings than girls are. It's almost like a pride thing, neither one would want to put themselves out there and feel awkward when they get rejected." I tried to explain after I pulled my gym shirt over my head. "Hey, um . . . Tadase, could you help me get my arm through the sleeve?" The blonde nodded his head as he got up from sitting on the bench and strode over to me, helping me with my shirt and after my arm slid through the arm sleeve of the shirt, I folded both my uniform tops and placed them inside my schoolbag and we started out of the boy's locker room, on our way to mine and Tadase's next class.
Kukai, Daichi and Rhythm were busy chatting about the upcoming game, that I hope that Coach Gunma would let me be a part of, minus my long period of absence. Well, physical absence in practice and the games. He'll probably excuse me, he did have knowledge of my arm injury and all. Glancing over to Tadase, I found him conversing with Kiseki about the following Guardian meeting that was to happen somewhere next week; I made sure to mentally take a note down on that.
I turned my gaze in front of me as we walked down the emptied hallways, well partially emptied hallways; letting my mind wander for a short time before Tadase's short gasp took me, Kukai and our Charas by surprise as we heard the after-effects of his schoolbooks falling from out of his grasp and colliding against the cherry wooden floors, with a almost faint mix of a teenage girl's surprised yelp.
I blinked my eyes as I looked over to the blonde, he was standing still giving off an awkward chuckle as he kneeled down to retrieve his dropped belongings at the same time a familiar girl with long tan colored hair kneeled over, rambling on a few apologies as she helped collect his things, "I-I'm so, so sorry. I was in hurry to get my things and wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"It's alright, don't worry." He smiled over to her as she blushed slightly, curling a few fleeing strands of her hair behind her right ear. Tadase chuckled softly as they both climbed up to their feet, "Pardon my rudeness, but I haven't seen you around here at school before. You must be new?"
The girl giggled gently as she held Tadase's Literature book in her hands, "Hehe, and right you are. I just transferred here today. My Mom's heard a lot of good things about this school and signed me up and such."
"Well then, as student body president, I happily welcome you here at Seiyo Academy. It has a lot to offer; from it's elite sporting activities to it's wonderful fine arts club holdings, whichever you seem more interested in, that is." Tadase beamed his usual smile as he then took a few steps to the side, revealing Kukai and I, gesturing over to us. "And needn't I forget my two close friends. This is Nagihiko Fujisaki, our school's student body vice president and this is Kukai Souma, one of our advisors; and also, my name is Tadase Hotori."
"Wow, a royal official welcoming. Thanks, hehe." The girl giggled as she handed the blonde back his thick book and then placed her hand at her chest. "Since we're doing introductions, hehe. My name's Rinetto Yorokobi, but you can call me Rin-chan, if you want."
"Pleased to meet you, Yorokobi-san."
"Awh, thanks. Well, I should really get going, class is almost about to end and I still have to get my things." She beamed a smile.
"It's been a pleasure." Tadase smiled genuinely as he dipped his head towards her.
"Likewise, hehe," Rinetto giggled. "Maybe we'll see each other around the school sometime, yeah?"
"It's a rather large school, so I can't be certain." He chuckled, earning a warm laugh from her in return as she started off towards her class. "Hehe, alright then. See you guys around, hopefully." She waved off, turning around and continuing on her way. Tadase gave another faint smile to himself and turned back to us, blinking his eyes. "Hm? What's the matter, you two?"
Kukai huffed out a heavy sigh as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Oh nothing . . . it just seems like Nagi and I were basically invisible for the past four minutes or so." He said with a calm smirk over to the blonde. I too, smiled at this as I looked over to Tadase.
"I was only being polite."
"Too polite, it seems. You had the girl blushing and you were smiling through that whole conversation." Daichi grinned from Kukai's shoulder, earning a round of laughter from Temari and Rhythm.
"Well, as the school's president, I have to be cooperative and openly friendly with my fellow peers as I'm their representive, who they look up to for help and guidance." Tadase argued.
"Hahaha, so you're getting mad now? You're actually trying to make up stuff to explain yourself, because you're mad now? You hate drawing in girl's attentions, after that horrible "Gift Your Favorite Valentine A Chocolate of Pure Love" gimmick that Yaya did last year, tricking people into giving her free candy." Kukai cackled as he started back down the hallway, with me and our Charas following along.
"He hid in the outside gym equipment shed all that day, didn't he?" Rhythm queried, getting a hearty laugh from the brunette.
"You guys . . ." Tadase pouted slightly as he hurried after us. I couldn't help, but smile at the situation, haha.
Hm, I wonder how Rima-chan's enjoying herself for the hour . . .
Rima's POV ...
'I miss Nagihiko . . .' I sighed within my thoughts, resting my chin in the palm of my hand. I was getting pretty bored and there was no one in class to talk to, that I actually enjoyed having around, except Kusukusu. But, I don't want to look like a senile small little blonde who likes having conversations to thin air.
With another sigh, I closed my eyes and gently laid my head in the folds of my arms, slowly drifting off into a short nap, 'Things can get pretty boring when the other's aren't around . . .'
~ …A Simple Thread…~
M.L.D: And there's chapter 20, with another one of my famous OCs. Some of should remember her from the previous failed attempt of this rewrite ^^
Rhythm: Tadase and Rin-chan seemed to get along pretty well together, didn't they?
Kusukusu: Well, Tadase can't be alone while everyone else is all lovey-dovey, kusukusukusu!
M.L.D: Yeah, hehe. Well, there's not much to say now, besides. Thanks for reading, now review?
