Hey everybody! ^-^ I just wanted to
put up the old reviews that this thing got the first time around. And I wanted
to say a quick thanks to everybody too who reviewed last
time…hence all the comments…I got a bit carried away with some of them though
(translation: I act like a complete goof.)…^-^;;; But
anyway, THANKS EVERBODY!!! Y'all rock!
Musouka chapter:1 @
EEEE!
Taishirou!! (not *nearly* enough
of THIS floating around on the net!) Wow, this was really something, Lynn-san!!
But isn't all your stuff in general? Heeheehee...Truth
or Dare...that's a really cute idea!!
Wheee! ^-^ You are sooo right! There isn't enough Taishirou
out there! *pouts* And, as always, you're so sweet, Musouka-san! ^-^ (And your Kenjoyu…*ultra
hyper puppy eyes* You are going to write more on that one, one of these days,
right? )
Cynthia, Piedmon's Lady chapter:1 @
OHHH!
I really liked this! One of the better Taishiros I've
read!
See! Proof that there need to be more Taishirous written! I'm just not going to be the one to do
'em, anymore. Izzy's
beginning to make my head hurt. ^-^;; I'm glad you liked it, though! ^-^
StarCats chapter:1 @
did
you say more parts?! Yay! This is fantastic (even
without my 'tiny' Taishirou bisas
^.~) and it sounds just about right for Izzy; you kept his stubbornness so well in tact. *grins* If
you do more of this then i am a very happy fangirl, well done!
Geee! And you're one of those cool people that
write Taishirous!! *happy sigh* I hope this had
enough Taishirou stuff in it for you. ^-^
Faded Jae chapter:1
That
was awesome! I admit, I decided to read this story because I thought that Izzy and Tai would never be together and it would be an
opportunity to make fun of something. Of course, I was incredibly wrong. Your
story was amazing! Simply amazing! Tai and Izzy seem
so right together! I loved it! You have to write a sequel. You _have_ to!
*giggles* I still find it amusing that that's the
reason you read the first chapter. ^-^ You're so cool, Jae-san!
Eeep! This is absolutely cuute! You really
managed to capture Izzy's feelings, and the 'underwear
incident' scenario is hilarious. Please do continue this.
I
had such a hard time too trying to think up a dare that would be good and
embarrassing for Tai. ^-^;; I'm glad you liked it!
*bounces happily*
S1ncer1ty chapter:1 @
Just
one teensy little criticism, Rae-san... What do you ~mean~ Izzy
didn't see The Matrix the moment it hit the theatres?! I mean, come ~on~! What
self-respecting computer geek/Digital World fanatic ~doesn't~ go see The
Matrix? Even I saw that movie in the theatres, and I never go out to the
movies! Aside from that one utterly unrealistic moment (*grin* I'm just kidding
with ya! I still think you're awesome, Rae-san. :) ), I loved the story! The 'underwear incident' amused the
heck out of me, and I thought the characterization was wonderful. I'm much more
of a Taishiro fan than I am of Taito, so this was a
lovely way to wake up (especially on my day offa work -- Any Friday I have off is a good
Friday!). Thanks, Rae-san! And don't take my criticism too seriously. *grin* o.o
Oh, you are sooo right
about that. . Izzy really would have been one
of those people who would have bought tickets for that three days in advance or
something…Well, I changed the movie to 'The Phantom Menace' cause I thought
that one pretty much stunk, and I thought Izzy
probably would have been too intelligent to have been sucked in by the hype to
go see it in theatres, but then again…that could very well just be me…^-^;;;
Still, this so made me laugh! Thanks s1ncer1ty-san! ^-^
un chapter:1
@
cool more
I
hope the other chapters were enough to satisfy…^-^;;;
Luciadigi chapter:1 @
Wai!
Cute! I hope there's more! Is there? If not, there should be! Soon, I hope! ^_^
Oy. Sorry I was kinda wishy-washy about whether or not I was going to
continue things when I started this fic…^-^;;
Shimmercat chapter:1 @
You
HAVE to continue this! If you don't, I'll find out where you're staying and
beat you up! Really! I've been there, at a party I was dragged to, but I
couldn't really talk to anyone so I just kind went outside and made myself
invisible. I've also been in many of the other situations. They suck. I hated
middle school. Fortuanately, I've managed to get some
friends for high school. But not everyone does. *sigh* You
are GOING to finish this...
Eieee! Someone who understands!
^-^;; I absolutely ~detest~ going to parties…I just
don't see the point unless it's just a few of your really close friends. But
then again, I know that not everyone else is the same way, so I guess it's all
good. Izzy just inherited my bias towards the stupid
things in this fic. ^-^;;
Cybra chapter:1 @
:::drool:::
Cool...Wonderful job! If possible, could you write a sequel?! ~Cybra
Whee! Thanks! I love your 'Trio' stories, too!
^-^ Tai-Izzy-Matt just makes for some really fun
interactions. ^-^
Kay chapter:1 @
::faints::
Taishiro... I'd forgotten how much I loved it! ^_^
Thanks! Heh, god, this was amazing... very good... my
poor Izzy-sama! But how awesome! Very good writing, veeery interesting/hilarious "dare"
for Tai... heheheheh... :) Anyway.
I loved it to pieces!!!
Eieee! You're another person I
know who's written Taishirous! *grins happily* You even wrote a Takeshirou too,
right? *drools* Thanks for reviewin' this thing! ^-^
Nanaki Lioness chapter:1 @
Oh
that was great! Heh, I wanna
see Izzy 'get even' with Tai!! ^_^
Erk. That might have been one of
the loose ends that never got tied up. 'Course, I kinda
think Izzy got even with Tai without really ever
having to try. I'm sure poor Tai was wrestling with some nice semi-angsty issues while Izzy was
being secretive and paranoid. ^-^;;
Kymaera chapter:1 @
Gah!
Rae-chan, you *can't* stop there! What're Tai's
motives, what happens next? ::pouts:: I want to know!
Seriously, though, I thought that this was excellent! Who says late night writing
doesn't turn out? ^_~ You did such a good job at writing Tai and Izzy ::glowers::
in character, and I can really see where you're coming from on both of them.
Joel was right, you do have a unique and fascinating way with words...^_^
I still think you write Izzy
incredibly well, so there. *blows raspberries* ^-^ And all the good stuff that
got into Izzy's personality in this thing, comes from
conversations I've had with ~you~ over his twerpy
little character. But thanks! ^-^
Finny chapter:1 @
Rae,
how is it you keep making Matt and Jyou, and now Izzy, say and do and think the sort of stuff I'd say and do
and think in situations like that? *glomps you* Great
job, gal!
*giggles*
Finny-san, you're so much fun! ^-^ What can I say? We just happen to be a lot
alike sometimes. ^-^
Jin chapter:1 @
Wonderfully written and fun to read. Mooore,
please! @_@
Speaking of more…."Stereotypical Vampire Fanfiiction"…you're going to write more on that
one…right? *puppy eyes*
Faded Jae chapter:2 @
*goes
bananas. Yes, bananas* Good gads! Of course you're going to write more!
*jumps around her computer room* Need MORE!
*giggles* Now you know what my reaction is whenever
I see that ~you've~ posted new chapters…*puppy eyes* Are you going to write
another chapter for "Sandy Castles"?
Luciadigi chapter:2 @
Rachel-sama! You _will_ write another chapter to this, or I will beat
you over the head with a stick. ^_^ OK, OK, just kidding, but you absolutely
can't leave it there. That would be cruel.
*falls over laughing* Geee!
Too funny! ^-^ I hope the rest of the fic lived up to
your expectations.
Star girl chapter:2 @
i really like your story!
PLEASE keep on writing some more , i
really wanna keep on reading your great fic! thanx!
**~STAR GIRL~**
Thanks for reviewing! ^-^ Although, I think
personally, that the first two chapters were probably the better chapters. I
lost control of things after that. Izzy is such a
lunatic. . (Riiiight…blame the cartoon
character…I'm sure everyone will buy that…*rolls eyes at self*)
Kymaera chapter:2 @
*glomps Rae-chan* I
~love~ it. This is sooo great! Just out of curiosity,
why would your brothers kill you? *looks intrigued* I love the way you can get
inside Izzy's head and I love the way he doesn't
understand Tai. The fact that Tai wanted to die their hair...and that he
actually did it...*snerk* Remind me about that
later.... Btw, did you make Tai's hair shorter in this? Because I honestly
can't see him with that huge mop that he sports dyed bleach blond...maybe
that's just me. Okay, I've rambled entirely too much *sweatdrop*
Please hurry and write the next one.... I know you're busy but...I wanna know! *giggles* Great job, as
usual.
I really wanted to say somewhere in there after I
read this that, yeah, Tai's hair was shorter, but I just couldn't seem to
squeeze it in anywhere. ^-^;; And my brothers would've
killed me because I made fun of both 1)them dying their hair and 2) them
surfing. My brothers are so adorably goofy. ^-^
Aardwulf chapter:2 @
Hee hee!
You write Taishiro really well - bringing out the
friendship aspect first and foremost and building their romantic interest on
that. Izzy reminds me of myself, all geeky and
social-phobic. Heh. Cute story, can't wait to see the
rest! :)
Whee! Thank you so much for
saying that! Cause I really did want to show that they were good friends and
that it wasn't all just hormones and whatever…X_x
(There was proof in the show! There really was!)
Shimmercat chapter:2 @
Ooooo, you better write another
chapter for this. Or I will track you down and tie you to a chair until you do.
*falls over laughing* I get such a kick out of
reading threats. ^-^ You're too funny, Shimmercat-san!
^-^ (And you're Daijyou was just…*drools all over the
place* sooooo ~good~!! Gyah!
I loved it and it was soo sad! ;_; )
Kitty chapter: 2 @
AGH! YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT THERE, ANYWHERE BUT THERE!
Ahem. Loved your story...please, for the love of everything holy or non, write more!
Yeah, I suppose that chapter break was a little
cruel of me, ne? ^-^;;
Sorry!
StarCats chapter:2 @
*kicks herself* How did i miss the second
chapter up?! Wah! It's cruel to leave us there...but i shan't complain (after all; i'm
still giggling over the Tai and his mothers electric
toothbrush idea O.o how did you think of that one!).
Again you've got Izzy's character right on too, and i cannot wait for the next part! ^__^
No really! Electric toothbrushes really ~do~ look
like those things!! ^-^;;; My Mom's got one of those
(the electric toothbrush…if she's got a PPD…I ~seriously~ don't want to know
about it. X_x) and when I first had someone describe
to me what a PPD was that, strangely enough, was the first thing I thought it
might vaguely resemble. ^-^;;
ChiTas
no Miko chapter:2 @
i wonder what the kids at
school will think when they see their hair! ^_^ next chapter?
I seriously thought about writing that in…but I just
couldn't swing it. ;_; I would have loved to have been
a fly on the wall though when they walked through the halls. *snickers*
Shimmercat chapter: 3 @
*claws at screen* No... there is supposed to
be a little button I can push for teh next chapter...
where is it? *grin* They were NOT OOC, Rae. Izzy, especially Izzy as opposed
to Koushirou, is a little f*cked
up. To paraphrase Musouka, we only get one glimpse
into the little guy's head and that glimpse was pretty damn trippy.
I feel so bad for him... your fics have made me fall
in love with our favorite little computer geek all over again. *grin*
Whee! Thank you so much Shimmercat-san! ^-^ You have no idea how reading this made
me feel just that much better about this twerpy fic. I think there are aspects where Izzy's
pretty OOC, but I think he does fit in character in a lot of other ways. (I
just don't write techno babble…and I refuse to make him sound like a walking
thesaurus. No one actually thinks to themselves that way. At least…I don't
think they do…X_x)
Kymaera chapter:3
@
Rae-chan!!!! *shakes
computer in frustration* You're killing me! What do
you mean this is all the more you have written? You ~can't~ stop there! Why is Izzy being so stupid?! (I ought to be careful how hard I
type on the keyboard, I might break it... _
*giggles* There really was more to this review. Twerpy FF.N! Apparently if you type in this '_'
face…it cuts off everything after the second thingy. Bleh. As
for Izzy being stupid…erm.
^-^;; Well, he can't be intelligent at everything
right? ^-^
Cynthia, Piedmon's Lady chapter:3 @
Ohhh....VERY good!! Poor Izzy...
Oooh I made him so nutso in that chapter. I'd have to agree. Poor kid. I think that at times I was overly identifying and
my own insecurities were dripping through a bit onto Izzy.
Although, I really do think he's pretty anti-social. I mean, his whole purpose
in 02 was to be 'the guy who explains everything that is technical'. For the
amount of time he was probably spending with the new DD's they certainly didn't
seem that close…(And I don't count Miyako's stupid
towel from Kyoto…I'm ~still~ trying to figure out where the heck that came out
of…X_x)
Allison Michelle chapter:3 @
Oh pleeeze write the next chapter ASAP. That was just great, I
love Izzy Tai couplings. Anyways, keep up the good
work.
Eiee! Thanks! ^-^ And like I've
said before…there should be more Taishirou!! ;_; (have I been whine-y enough yet? ^-^;;)
Starcats chapter:3 @
You didn't make Izzy a headcase...he already was one... *pats the poor boy on his
head* i adored the interaction between Joe and Matt
here, the whole deal with Matt getting kicked just fitted in perfect...*happily
sighs* ^^ I shant move now until the next part comes,
i love seeing this boy's head get messed around
with... =p
*giggles* I really, really liked writing Matt and
Joe into this. ^-^;; I was afraid Matt might have been a little OOC, but
really, I can see him being a little bit of an imp too. And I thought it was
pretty IC for Joe to kick him. I just wanted to write something where Matt was
a happy kid for a change. Don't get me wrong, he's fun and cool to see angsty…but I like to see him having fun too. (That and I
like seeing him be someone other than just 'TK's
mentally screwed up big bro'.) Oh, and "Daisy Chains"…*puppy eyes*
you write such an ~awesome~ Miyako!!
Please say chapter three's in the works…please?
Rae chapter:3 @
I'm
really looking forward to Izzy's head being bashed.
What an idiot! Self-esteem is no excuse for the level of angst that you've put
him through. You should be ashamed of yourself. Please let me know when this is
done. raegan_1@hotmail.com
Erk. ^-^;;;
Lack of self-esteem can do some really crazy things to your head though….But
I'll admit that I probably went a little overboard with it. ^-^;;
Isabella chapter:3 @
*eagerly awaiting the next
part* AAAAHHHHHHH i wuv
this story i just can't wait for the next part, i need more or i'll explode T___T
Don't do that! ^-^;; But
I'm glad that it caught your attention. ^-^
Finny chapter:3 @
You
do realize that I like you getting into Izzy's head,
right? 'Cause I do, and you do a great job of it!
Finny-san! You're just too cool! ^-^ Thanks for
saying that! ^-^
Kymaera chapter:3 @
Just
adding this to favorites... I just realized that it wasn't there. And I just wanted
to let you know that you had better finish this! I mean, c'mon! Izzy has to realize that he's being an idiot about this
whole self-doubt thing. He ~has~ to. And I'm curious too why no one told him
Tai was gay. I mean, did they just assume that he already knew, or did Tai tell
them not to? What? And JOoC, what kind of restaurant
serves Fettuccini and fries? *grins* Okay, I'll stop pestering you now, but
you'd better finish this or I'll come after you with one of Musouka's sharpened sticks...
You have no idea how long I agonized over the fries
and fettuccini question. *mock glowers* I finally figured that they were
probably at a place like T.G.I.Fridays since I know
they serve fettuccini there. And I ~think~ you can order fries as like an
appetizer or side or something. *looks around to see who's buying this train of
logic* Maybe? ^-^;;;
Aphrael chapter:3 @
Erk!
Poor Izzy! Agh... I totally
love this fic! You know for someone with the Crest of
Knowledge, that kid can be incredibly dense... Wai!
But, I love it all the same! Taishiro! *grin* Always
good!
*giggles*
You said it about Izzy! ^-^
You just have an incredible way with words. I loved "Rune Master",
and "The Next Level" is soooo good so far!
^-^
Seiitsu chapter:3
@
Ohmigosh.. I -really- hope you've got more to this. I really,
REALLY hope you've got more to this... ^_^ Gosh, that was so..
GOOD. I mean, very, VERY GOOD. ::holds her hands up:;
May I have some more, please? -Seii-
#^-^# Thanks! I don't know if it was obvious to
anyone, but I've struggled so much with this twerpy fic….
yahiko2tailmon chapter:3 @
First
off, thanks for reviewing my fic. I *LOVE* this!
Please write more! I just loved how Matt and Joe acted during that whole scene
with Izzy in the restaurant...*giggles*. That was
cute. Peace! How did you find my fic, anyway? Just asking. ^^*
*grins* I'm particularly proud of the restaurant
scene. (X_x It's like not even important to the plot,
and I'm thrilled I wrote it, sheesh…sometimes my head
really is floating up there in the stratosphere…X_x)
And I do a lot of surfing around and reading people's favs
when I'm bored. ^-^;;
Faded Jae chapter:3 @
Poor Izzy!
*glomps Izzy* Oh geez! *sniffles* I love this chapter! Oh gads! *cries her
eyes out* Sniff...
I really ~was~ kinda mean
to him in this chapter, wasn't I? ^-^;;;
Lia Rose chapter:3 @
I
REALLY LOVE this fic! PPLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE
continue! Pretty please? with
Tai, Izzy, and Matt on top?!?
What? Is Joe chopped liver? (I'm just kidding
around. ^-^;; He and Matt didn't figure in too much to
this fic anyway…) But thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Hopefully revised chapter four and five are a little bit more worth reading…
DarkGatomon chapter:3 @
Write
more!!! Please, write more!!! I am so hanging off this story. I look forward to
seeing more from you. It's well written. Please write more.
#^-^#
Thanks! Sorry I yanked this off and revised the whole thing, folks. I just
really wasn't happy with the way the poor thing had turned out originally.
(Actually, truth be told, I was a bit disgusted with it…. Grrr.)
Sunny-chan chapter:3 @
Aw,
poor Izzy. He's got such low self-esteem. ^.^ I am totally in awe of your writing prowess. ::falls prostrate to ground:: O, Great One, please continue
to write this fic of wonderful Taishiro
goodness.. (There really should be more Taishiro.
It's the cutest thing in the world since Bukamon
evolved into Gomamon.)
##^-^## Thanks!! *giggles* Oh, I love that last
little comment! ^-^ And you're right, there should be more Taishiro!!
^-^;;
Pales Megami chapter:3 @
OMG... ::speechless:: This fic is
simply amazing. Honestly, there is nowhere NEAR enough Taishiro
on the 'net, and this fic blows em
all away. I absolutely loved it.. please
write more! ;_; Poor Izzy-chan;
he's my favorite! ::huggles Izzy plushy:: Great job, Rachel-san! You are a very
talented writer; keep up the good work, and I'll be looking for the next
chapter, okies? ^_^
I
like Izzy-chan a lot too…when I'm not the one writing
him. X_x But thankyouthankyou
for the nice review! ^-^ And I'm glad that I'm not the only one noticing this Taishirou shortage…it's criminal I
say! ^-^;;; Ignore me…
Lyra-chan chapter:3
@
Hn. Well now I know how
everyone feels when I end my chapters so abrtuptly.
*Wails* You gotta write
more!!!! If you do...I'll write a four page chapter for Inori
no Asa rather then my little one page chapters!!
*puppy eyes* Pleeeeeease?!!!
*giggles* You have to write
more on that Angekeru!!! *puppy eyes* And Hikari better not be mean to Miyako!! Grrr. (It would seem
that I have a soft spot for Miyako…it's just that
she's so much like Daisuke sometimes, and I ~love~ Daisuke. ^-^)
290 chapter:3 @
Okay
so you really have to hurry up and come out with the next part. I'm as psycho as Izzy now! This, is btw perfectly Izzy. He is
a headcase! But such a cute one^^ This
seems like the perfect extension of the movie, with everything that went on
between Tai and Izzy...And I like the correspondence
between Mimi and Izzy. Great Job! I need the next
part!
Whee! Thanks! ^-^ See there is Taishirou proof! *points to the comment about the
movie…crickets chirp* ^-^;; And in the revision, I cut
out the correspondence to a certain extent. I wanted to keep it, but for some
reason, it was one of the things that was bugging me and generally making life
difficult. *glares at fic* Sorry!
No. 9 chapter:3 @
As
an Izzy-fan, I personally like it.
I'm glad you like it! ^-^ *giggles* You know, I've
noticed that both Izzy and Joe have their separate
fan bases of a couple dozen loyal fans who just adore them. Matt and Daisuke
obviously have much bigger fan bases. But you know,
the only Tai fans I ever see are the Taito fans. Is that just me? X_x Don't worry, it probably is just me…
Kae
Ti chapter:3 @
*crawls on floor* PLEASE write more! PLEASE! Poor poor
Izzy all depressed... Tai gotsa
make it better! Write the next part quicky!!
I'm glad you liked it! ^-^ The next part was the
hard part to write though! ^-^;; I'm such a dink. I
did want to make Tai make things better, but I also wanted him to have a bit of
a temper too…because he's just not one of those 'fix other people's feelings'
type of a person, IMO. That's more, oh say, Joe's department. (Me? A die-hard Yamajyou fan? Surely
you jest! ^-^;;) Personally, I think in the whole Yamajyou,
Taishiro business…Koushiro's
got a harder time of it with Tai than Joe does with Matt. ^-^ But then again,
I've read some ~really~ good angsty Yamajyous too…^-^;; never
mind…it's tough for them all. ^-^
Lia*aka*SailorV-Babe chapter:3
@
Rachel- chan!!!! Please,
please, please, please, please, please update, write more, or what ever it is
you have to do, but I want to know what happens to Izzy
and Tai!!!!!!!! Tai must be near heartbroken!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and Izzy is so confused and angsty.....
but you are right.... You made little Izzy a headcase.... a cute one at
that! What is gonna happen to them now?!?!?! Please
post more!!!! ~* Lia
He is a headcase, isn't
he? ^-^;; I'm glad you really liked those chapters
that much! ^-^ I did put up chapter four for a while, but well…after reviews
like this and rereading through it after it was posted, chapter four wasn't
quite what it should have been. ^-^;;
Aphrael chapter:4 @
It's about time! I've been waiting for this part
forever!!!! *squeak* Excellent! Izzy was being so
silly through the whole thing! I LOVE how it turned out, though! Yay! Everyone's happy! It's so warm and squishy and GOOD!
*snuggles fic* Yayayayay!
*grins* Wheee! Thanks!
#^-^# Hopefully the rewrite's a little bit better
though. Thanks for actually reviewing this chapter though! ^-^
Cynthia, Piedmon's Lady chapter:4 @
Awww :)Nice
ending :)
Thanks for stickin' through
the whole thing, Cynthia-san! ^-^ You're too cool!
StarCats chapter:4
@
I tried to review this last night, but was way to
hyper to type anything of sense...^^; *squeaks* You
finished it! And it was good and well worth waiting for, i
cannot pick any one bit about this part that i really
liked; i just loved it all. ^^ And as for Izzy being tied up *giggles* "leave him like that
Tai!" Excellent, fantastic fic! *goes back to
read it all again...*
*giggles* Yeah, I ~loved~ writing the 'kidnapping'
scene. XP And thanks for stickin'
through the whole thing too, StarCats-san! You're too
cool! ^-^
Kymaera chapter:4
@
*glomps Rae-chan
and then bounces happily* You finished it; you finally
finished it!!!! I checked my email this morning and actually shouted for joy
when I was alerted that you had a new chapter published at ff.n.
It was ~so~ good. The fact that they kidnapped him and took him to a rest stop
and he was still confused at the end and how you tied in the title at the end
and how they did get together and... it was just
really good. Thank you so much for finsihing it, I
really liked the whole thing, even if you did make Izzy
a little bit of a headcase. *grins*
Thanks for stickin' on my
case, Ky-san. 'Specially
after I pulled the darn thing down. And thanks for looking over the chapters,
and for letting me whine incessantly about it to you. I sooo
owe you. ^-^ Of course, I still wanna see the next
chapter of "Shades of Grey"!! *pouts*
Finny chapter:4
@
*huggles* *Great* job, gal-pal! *grin* *Love*
it! By the way, is it just me, or were you leaving things nice and open for Joe
and Matt to get together? *waggles eyebrows* Knowing you, somehow I *really*
doubt it's just me!
*giggles* Me? A Yamajyou fan? Never! (Yeah
right…you couldn't drag me away from that pairing. ^-^) I never really intended
for them to be a couple in this universe though. They're just good friends.
(And I ~loved~ writing the 'Matt spraying pop on Joe' thing. That was just
~fun~! ^-^) And thanks for stickin' through the whole
thing with me too, Finny-san! You're too cool! ^-^
Thanks again everybody!!!
^-^
