Hey everybody! I have some good news. I just saved 15% on my insurance by
switching to GEICO. LMAO, I LOVE THAT! Lol, ok on to the REAL good news.
This chapter will be long, and Pony and Summer will finally start school!
YAY! I finally got there by the 18th chapter. But I promise that the
further chapters will go by quickly. Meaning, I will at least write about
2 or 3 days in one chapter, Savvy? lol, I love that, PIRATES OF THE
CARIBBEAN! sry, we were watching it in my American history class, so I'm
really happy today, and tomorrow all 9th and 10th well everybody I guess
get to go to the Lord of the Rings/Return of the King!!! I'm really
psyched!!! But the bad news is that I injured my arm, so I am banned from
my tennis, b-ball, and volleyball games for the next two weeks, and that
sucks. I will be missing most of my games and matches that I was
desperately looking forward to. But anyways, I'm just saying that it's
really really hard to type since I can barely use my left hand. I can use
it a little bit, it's not in a cast or anything, but in little cast that
you can remove? I don't know what it's called but anyways, I will try to
update soon, but my hand really hurts. I am just updating cuz I've been
making you guys wait too long, and you guys are just so wonderful! So
here's chapter 18!
And oh, yeah, damn I always forget this....
Disclaimer: I do not own the outsiders; you know who I own.
The place was beautiful. We had to walk around 2 miles or so, which was very hard to do with high heels, and with Jake constantly asking if we were there or not. It got so annoying after a while, but I held myself from blowing up, I didn't want Pony to think I was a bad sister. I just clinched my teeth and once again answered "no". Finally we were there. FINALLY! Pony paid for both me and Jake's not to forget his ticket. 'Such a gentleman' I said to myself. Jake started firing suggestions on what to go on first. My head hurt already and we still had the whole day to go. Pony finally made a suggestion.
"Why don't we go on the pirate ride?"
"OHH, I LOVE THAT ONE!" Jake yelled as he ran towards the long ride that formed outside it.
Oh, god, I thought, waiting in a line for an hour or even two will not help my headache. Pony musta noticed this.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just got a headache." I said, trying to smile the best I could.
"Ok, but if you don't feel good, we can always go back.."
"No, let Jake have his fun" I cut him off.
He shrugged and went back to the line. I fallowed him. Jake was already in the line, jumping up and down excitedly. We waited for about half an hour at the line, it wasn't as long as I thought it would be but it still seemed like and hour to me. I know it's just a ride and all, but I was still pretty scared. It was dark, and I didn't feel so good anyway, and when that pirate jumped up and went "'ello puppet" I almost jumped outta my skin. I grabbed Pony's arm, and leaned closer to him. Jake was on my other side, and he didn't seem scared at all. Pony just causally put his arm around me, and I think somewhat winked at Jake (which I didn't get, since he's a 4 year old kid) and cuddled with me. I liked this. I was all warm, and felt loved, but I could not forget Jake, after all this is why I was here for. I put an arm on his shoulder, even though he escaped from it. The rest of the ride was dark, creepy and noisy, which didn't help my headache much. After that we went on a fun house, a boat ride (where we all got soaked), and a mirror house (where me and Pony made out in the back, while Jake played with the mirrors.) For a while it was pretty scary though. For once, we weren't supposed to be where we were and we had left Jake all alone. I felt so bad, so after about ten minutes, I told Pony that I didn't feel right about leaving Jake alone. He understood so we went back to where the mirrors were. At first when I didn't see Jake, I was pretty worried, because the place was huge, and I had made him swear not to go anywhere other than the mirror house, and he knew better than to wonder off. I would kill him if he got lost. Well, I don't mean that literally but I would get really mad!
I looked around, everywhere! He was nowhere in sight.
"Oh, shit!" I said out loud.
I guess the manager person there musta hear me.
"Is something wrong ma'am?" he asked, he sounded kinda angry since there were a lot of little kids there, and I had sworn, really loud, not to mention.
"Um, yeah, I think I lost my little brother."
The guy had suspicion in his eyes, as if he doubted what I was saying.
"Sir, I said I lost my brother, will you please help me find him?" I asked firmly.
"Um, yes, hang on." He went over to the little office where all the ride people rested.
In a minute he returned with a pen and a notepad.
"Describe what he looks like." He ordered.
"Um, he has brown hair, blue eyes.." I stopped when I spotted Jake near the cotton candy stand. Poor baby, he was crying his eyes out.
"Um, I think I just found him, but thanx" I shouted to the (I'm guessing) police officer and ran towards Jake.
I picked him up and had him in a bear hug so tight that he merely started crying harder. I laughed a little.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked frustrated.
"I'm just so glad that you're ok!"
"I was scared Summer." I rubbed his back.
"Shh, I know baby, I know. But it's ok now. I'm here." I shushed him.
We walked towards Pony and I gave him a hug too.
"So he is found." Pony joked. "Ready to go Jake?"
"Yes" Jake answered, rubbing his eyes. He looked up at me. "I want to go home." He said, reaching up with his arms, so I would lift him up.
I lifted him up and signaled Pony that we were leaving. It was a long walk home, and Jake was pretty heavy. I mean he is normal for his age, hell he's even too thin, but he's just too heavy for me to carry. Pony noticed this cuz he picked Jake from my hands and carried him on his back for the rest of the walk home. I looked at my watch; it was around 6:30. By the time we got home, it would be 7:00. Tomorrow, school starts, and tonight I have to pick my first day clothes and get to bed early. Pony came with us to our house. He gave me a quick good-night kiss and left. I talked to Jake about what happened.
"Jake, I would really appreciate it if we kept this between us." I said, looking really serious. Rain would really kill me if she found out me and Pony were making out, especially because we left Jake all alone.
"Ok." He said slowly. Poor baby musta been really scared.
I sat next to him on the couch, took him in my arms, and rocked him back and forth. "Ok" I said.
He fell asleep in arms shortly. I took him to his bed, and covered him with blankets.
I went into the bathroom to take a shower. When I was done, I checked on Jake again, he was sound a sleep. I let out a sigh of relief. I heard some noises coming from the kitchen, Rain's home, I thought. I got dressed, dried my hair, set out my clothes for the next day, and went to bed. It was around 11:30, pretty early for me!
The next day I got up with such excitement. It was 7:30, and Pony would come to get me in about an hour. We decided to walk together. It would be fun, as long as we didn't run into any of those damn socs. I got up, and got dressed in my new black skirt, and a black short sleeved black shirt, with a transparent, long sleeved sweater over it. I gotta admit, I was pretty over dressed, but I didn't care. It was my first day, and I think it's important to dress good on a first day. I put my black high heel shoes on, and went into the kitchen to eat breakfast. I had some cereal, but I thought I wouldn't be able hold it down, so I dumped the rest. Rain looked at me from the living room, where she was sitting on the couch, reading the morning paper.
"Whatya doin Summer?" she asked suspiciously.
"Um, nothing, just washing my bowl" I quickly put the bowl in the sink and turned on the water.
"Well, I hope so, I don't want you to throw away you're food again. If you can't eat it just tell me. Maybe you need to go to the doctor or something."
I rolled my eyes.
"Look Summer, this is really important, you have to tell me this stuff."
I nodded my head blankly. I wasn't going to tell her anything. She wouldn't care. She would just take me to the doctors and leave me there. I shrugged.
Jake was starting kindergarten today. They said he was too small, but Rain signed him up anyway. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door, shortly fallowed by Jake and Rain. Jake was grabbing a hold of Rain's arm, refusing to step out of the house. I went over to help Rain. I had to half drag Jake to the car. I know starting kindergarten was hard for him but I didn't want to be late to school, and I don't think Rain did either. It was going to be her first day starting The University of Tulsa. She majored in interior decorating. That was mom's job. She paint, and decorate the houses. It seemed like a fun job. No wonder Rain was fallowing mom's footsteps. If one of us got the artistic gene from mom, it had to be Rain. I had no sense of art. Seriously, I can't paint or draw for shit. It really bugs me, cuz I would really like to do something with my hands.
I noticed Pony walking towards us. I quickly said 'bye' to Rain and Jake and went over to Pony. I grabbed his hand, and squeezed slightly.
"Hey" he said, smiling warmly.
"Hey" I said back. The rest of the walk to school was pretty quite. We mostly held hands and talked about the first day of school, and yada yada yada.
When we finally got there, I looked around, studying the people surrounding me. I suddenly got a chill. There were these kids that looked like Pony. I don't mean like face wise, but they looked tuff, and cool, and had cigarettes in their mouths. Then I looked towards the other side, there were these kids, leaning on mustangs (which I assumed were theirs) and wearing madras ski jackets. There were all these girls crowded around the football players. What whores, I thought. They would do anything to get a football player boyfriend. Well I'm happy with the boyfriend I got. The future track star was my boyfriend. Pony almost hurt me when he pulled me away from my thoughts, to the corner where the greasers hung out.
"Hey." One of them said. He looked around Pony's age. He had red curly hair that was greased heavily to the side in weird swirls in the back. "Who's the broad?"
I looked at him in a disgusted way which I kinda felt bad about later on. I mean, in a way, he was a greaser, same as Pony. But I only felt disgusted against him, the way he referred to me, I would never be disgusted by Pony!
"She's no broad!" Pony snapped. "You watch you're mouth Curly Shephard." I assumed that was his name. Curly, no wonder why they call him that, he was curly hair!
"Sorry Pony, you know my vocabulary isn't that kind, just sayin what I'm seein." He replied coolly. "Anyway, so what's the girl's name?" he asked, as politely as he could.
I pitied him. Maybe Pony was his kind, but he was never rude like that. Hell Pony is the nicest gentleman I've ever known. But that Curly, he was rude, heartless (from what I have seen of him), and hell he looked dangerous.
"This is my girlfriend Summer. She, her sister, and brother just moved here, this summer." Pony explained.
It felt good to know that Pony didn't feel the need to hide our relationship. I felt more close to him than ever. I squeezed his hand a little bit more, I don't know why. Maybe because I was little scared of Curly and his friends, or I just simply felt so close to Pony. I think it was a mix of both.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Curly, and this is what you might call my gang." Curly said after taking a deep breath from his cigarette.
He put his hand out. I hesitated but shook it anyway. He smiled and turned to Pony.
"Man, that is some nice lookin broad ya got there Pony" Curly said, then smacking his forehead. "Sorry Pony. It's just how I talk, I'll be more careful around you're lady, alright?" he said.
Pony looked mad, but somehow I knew that these two have been friends for sometime. Pony smiled. "You bastard, you better be." He said laughing.
Curly laughed too, fallowed by his "gang". I don't get it. What's with the people of Tulsa and gangs around here. I mean, what the fuck is the deal with this soc/grease thing? Jesus Christ, why do people care so much if people put grease in their hair or not?? It sure ain't a big deal to me. But then again, as Soda likes to say "I'm from New York, I wouldn't understand." I always laugh at this comment. If anybody can understand gangs, it would be me. I knew what went on in the wild side of New York. I had friends who lived there and got beat up everyday, if they didn't have enough money to even get mugged. Once one of my friends was carrying only 10 bucks in her pocket. She was just going for a walk; I mean why the hell should she take more than 20 bucks with her? So when she stopped at a back street, some hood came out of nowhere and told her to give him the money, whatever she had on her. So, as serious as she ever could be, she took out the ten bucks and offered it to the guy. The guy looked at her in the face, and laughed at the amount she took out. He said "lady I would make more than that if I robbed kids. If ur gonna walk around here, you best start carrying 50 bucks or more. You ain't worth robbing." with that he took off without even taking the 10 bucks.
When I was done telling the guys the story, it was about time the bell rang, so we decided to head in. Me and Pony, hand to hand. The socs stared at us, and gave me looks meaning, "What the hell are you doing with him?" One of them even gave me such a dirty look that I almost back away. Is this what Pony and the rest of the greasers had to face with everyday? If so, then man, they are some tough hoods. I mean, how can they take that? I sure can't..not everyday. My fist class is English so I headed down the hall with Pony. Our paths split when we came to the stair, and he went upstairs to his class. I walked into the classroom. Some of the greasers, and socs, that I had seen before were there.
I quietly took a seat in the back. I tried to stay clear of the soc, but they came to me. A blond haired guy, that seemed uncomfortably familiar, slowly approached me.
"Hey" he said in a friendly voice. Somehow it sounded kind of over friendly.
"Hi" I said coldly.
"Remember me?" he asked. Then I knew, he was the guy that had jumped me and Pony. I gave him a nasty look. "I thought I told that greaser to stay away from you. I see he hasn't listened. Well, lookie here baby, if he ever bothers you again, we'll know what to do with him."
They were getting me mad. If they don't know by now that Pony is my boyfriend, then they will learn.
"He's my boyfriend, you asshole. Of course he's going to be with me. And if you ever touch him again, he and his brothers will know what to do with you." I gave him the dirtiest look ever that made him stand up and walk away without saying anything else. The class was boring as hell. All I wanted to do was to beat it out of there, and just go somewhere else. Anywhere else, anywhere else but here. When he torture was finally over, I got up from my seat, and stormed out of the class. I didn't care if the teacher was done speaking or not, the bell had rung, so that'd be it. I quickly walked to my locker, avoiding any eye contact with the socs, or with anyone for that matter. I was pissed. Pissed at that blond soc and his friends. I didn't care what their names were; I just knew something had to be done. I was walking to my next class, science, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I was about to elbow the person, when the voice said,
"May I have a moment?" it was a girl's voice. I dropped my guard, and turned around.
It was a beautiful girl, with long, silky black hair and glowing dark brownish blue eyes. She was dressed like a soc. She was wearing a blue jean skirt, a light blue tank tope and a purple sweater. Her shiny pearl earrings caught my eye.
"What for?" I sounded angrier than I had planned.
The girl was taken back by my tone.
"I'm sorry; I'm just a little upset right now." I said quickly.
"Oh, it's fine. Hi, I'm Charlotte. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for my boyfriend. I know he can be mean when he doesn't mean to sometimes."
"I'm Summer. Oh, it's ok. I know how they can such asses sometimes." I said (not referring to Pony of course. Kevin could really be an ass at times.)
"Sorry if he was bothering you, I'll tell him to leave you alone. What's you're next class?" she asked changing the subject.
I was taken back by how nice she was. But I guess there is nice socs after all.
"Um, I think its science." I said looking at my schedule.
"Really? Mine too" Charlotte said. Well more like squeaked. But it's not like I don't do it either.
We compared our schedules, and found out that we had all of our classes together. I was happy about that. Know I have someone to sit with. We walked in to classroom 245 and the first thing I noticed was the mean-ass looking teacher. I musta stared at him in a weird way cuz he noticed and said,
"Take a seat Ms. Theriault. I won't bite, I promise."
Now that was weird, how'd he know my name? I looked over at Charlotte. She just smiled and shrugged.
~*~*~*~*~*~
At lunch Charlotte asked me if I wanted to eat lunch with her and her friends at the cafeteria, but I had already made plans to go to the DX with Pony, Two-bit, and Steve, to see Soda. I said bye to Charlotte and walked over to Pony, who was already waiting for me outside of school.
I covered his eyes with my hands. "Guess who?" I asked in my sexiest voice.
"Um, Cherry?" he asked.
I uncovered his eyes. "Cherry? Who the hell is this Cherry?" I asked angrily.
Pony laughed. "No one, I was just trying to make you mad. You're my only girlfriend, Summer Theriault." He said kissing me. I laughed too but didn't really buy this Cherry being no one.
We met up with Steve and Two bit and walked to the DX.
"So, how was you're first day?" Steve asked.
"Um, pretty good actually. I was having trouble at first, but then I made a new friend, that I have all my classes with." I smiled, Charlotte was so nice. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell them about her being a soc or not.
"Who is this boy?" Two bit asked, teasingly.
"Actually it's a girl. Her name's Charlotte."
Pony stopped walking.
"Charlotte? Charlotte the soc?" he asked.
"Yeah I guess so" I said shrugging. I didn't mind her being a soc. Maybe she could actually convince her guy friends to leave us alone. I highly doubted it but I really tried to bring the good out of this.
"I was afraid something like this might happen." Pony mumbled as we continued walking.
Now what did that mean? So now I can't choose my own friends. I wasn't gonna let this go.......

When we finally got there, I looked around, studying the people surrounding me. I suddenly got a chill. There were these kids that looked like Pony. I don't mean like face wise, but they looked tuff, and cool, and had cigarettes in their mouths. Then I looked towards the other side, there were these kids, leaning on mustangs (which I assumed were theirs) and wearing madras ski jackets. There were all these girls crowded around the football players. What whores, I thought. They would do anything to get a football player boyfriend. Well I'm happy with the boyfriend I got. The future track star was my boyfriend. Pony almost hurt me when he pulled me away from my thoughts, to the corner where the greasers hung out.
"Hey." One of them said. He looked around Pony's age. He had red curly hair that was greased heavily to the side in weird swirls in the back. "Who's the broad?"
I looked at him in a disgusted way which I kinda felt bad about later on. I mean, in a way, he was a greaser, same as Pony. But I only felt disgusted against him, the way he referred to me, I would never be disgusted by Pony!
"She's no broad!" Pony snapped. "You watch you're mouth Curly Shephard." I assumed that was his name. Curly, no wonder why they call him that, he was curly hair!
"Sorry Pony, you know my vocabulary isn't that kind, just sayin what I'm seein." He replied coolly. "Anyway, so what's the girl's name?" he asked, as politely as he could.
I pitied him. Maybe Pony was his kind, but he was never rude like that. Hell Pony is the nicest gentleman I've ever known. But that Curly, he was rude, heartless (from what I have seen of him), and hell he looked dangerous.
"This is my girlfriend Summer. She, her sister, and brother just moved here, this summer." Pony explained.
It felt good to know that Pony didn't feel the need to hide our relationship. I felt more close to him than ever. I squeezed his hand a little bit more, I don't know why. Maybe because I was little scared of Curly and his friends, or I just simply felt so close to Pony. I think it was a mix of both.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Curly, and this is what you might call my gang." Curly said after taking a deep breath from his cigarette.
He put his hand out. I hesitated but shook it anyway. He smiled and turned to Pony.
"Man, that is some nice lookin broad ya got there Pony" Curly said, then smacking his forehead. "Sorry Pony. It's just how I talk, I'll be more careful around you're lady, alright?" he said.
Pony looked mad, but somehow I knew that these two have been friends for sometime. Pony smiled. "You bastard, you better be." He said laughing.
Curly laughed too, fallowed by his "gang". I don't get it. What's with the people of Tulsa and gangs around here. I mean, what the fuck is the deal with this soc/grease thing? Jesus Christ, why do people care so much if people put grease in their hair or not?? It sure ain't a big deal to me. But then again, as Soda likes to say "I'm from New York, I wouldn't understand." I always laugh at this comment. If anybody can understand gangs, it would be me. I knew what went on in the wild side of New York. I had friends who lived there and got beat up everyday, if they didn't have enough money to even get mugged. Once one of my friends was carrying only 10 bucks in her pocket. She was just going for a walk; I mean why the hell should she take more than 20 bucks with her? So when she stopped at a back street, some hood came out of nowhere and told her to give him the money, whatever she had on her. So, as serious as she ever could be, she took out the ten bucks and offered it to the guy. The guy looked at her in the face, and laughed at the amount she took out. He said "lady I would make more than that if I robbed kids. If ur gonna walk around here, you best start carrying 50 bucks or more. You ain't worth robbing." with that he took off without even taking the 10 bucks.
When I was done telling the guys the story, it was about time the bell rang, so we decided to head in. Me and Pony, hand to hand. The socs stared at us, and gave me looks meaning, "What the hell are you doing with him?" One of them even gave me such a dirty look that I almost back away. Is this what Pony and the rest of the greasers had to face with everyday? If so, then man, they are some tough hoods. I mean, how can they take that? I sure can't..not everyday. My fist class is English so I headed down the hall with Pony. Our paths split when we came to the stair, and he went upstairs to his class. I walked into the classroom. Some of the greasers, and socs, that I had seen before were there.
I quietly took a seat in the back. I tried to stay clear of the soc, but they came to me. A blond haired guy, that seemed uncomfortably familiar, slowly approached me.
"Hey" he said in a friendly voice. Somehow it sounded kind of over friendly.
"Hi" I said coldly.
"Remember me?" he asked. Then I knew, he was the guy that had jumped me and Pony. I gave him a nasty look. "I thought I told that greaser to stay away from you. I see he hasn't listened. Well, lookie here baby, if he ever bothers you again, we'll know what to do with him."
They were getting me mad. If they don't know by now that Pony is my boyfriend, then they will learn.
"He's my boyfriend, you asshole. Of course he's going to be with me. And if you ever touch him again, he and his brothers will know what to do with you." I gave him the dirtiest look ever that made him stand up and walk away without saying anything else. The class was boring as hell. All I wanted to do was to beat it out of there, and just go somewhere else. Anywhere else, anywhere else but here. When he torture was finally over, I got up from my seat, and stormed out of the class. I didn't care if the teacher was done speaking or not, the bell had rung, so that'd be it. I quickly walked to my locker, avoiding any eye contact with the socs, or with anyone for that matter. I was pissed. Pissed at that blond soc and his friends. I didn't care what their names were; I just knew something had to be done. I was walking to my next class, science, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I was about to elbow the person, when the voice said,
"May I have a moment?" it was a girl's voice. I dropped my guard, and turned around.
It was a beautiful girl, with long, silky black hair and glowing dark brownish blue eyes. She was dressed like a soc. She was wearing a blue jean skirt, a light blue tank tope and a purple sweater. Her shiny pearl earrings caught my eye.
"What for?" I sounded angrier than I had planned.
The girl was taken back by my tone.
"I'm sorry; I'm just a little upset right now." I said quickly.
"Oh, it's fine. Hi, I'm Charlotte. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for my boyfriend. I know he can be mean when he doesn't mean to sometimes."
"I'm Summer. Oh, it's ok. I know how they can such asses sometimes." I said (not referring to Pony of course. Kevin could really be an ass at times.)
"Sorry if he was bothering you, I'll tell him to leave you alone. What's you're next class?" she asked changing the subject.
I was taken back by how nice she was. But I guess there is nice socs after all.
"Um, I think its science." I said looking at my schedule.
"Really? Mine too" Charlotte said. Well more like squeaked. But it's not like I don't do it either.
We compared our schedules, and found out that we had all of our classes together. I was happy about that. Know I have someone to sit with. We walked in to classroom 245 and the first thing I noticed was the mean-ass looking teacher. I musta stared at him in a weird way cuz he noticed and said,
"Take a seat Ms. Theriault. I won't bite, I promise."
Now that was weird, how'd he know my name? I looked over at Charlotte. She just smiled and shrugged.
~*~*~*~*~*~
At lunch Charlotte asked me if I wanted to eat lunch with her and her friends at the cafeteria, but I had already made plans to go to the DX with Pony, Two-bit, and Steve, to see Soda. I said bye to Charlotte and walked over to Pony, who was already waiting for me outside of school.
I covered his eyes with my hands. "Guess who?" I asked in my sexiest voice.
"Um, Cherry?" he asked.
I uncovered his eyes. "Cherry? Who the hell is this Cherry?" I asked angrily.
Pony laughed. "No one, I was just trying to make you mad. You're my only girlfriend, Summer Theriault." He said kissing me. I laughed too but didn't really buy this Cherry being no one.
We met up with Steve and Two bit and walked to the DX.
"So, how was you're first day?" Steve asked.
"Um, pretty good actually. I was having trouble at first, but then I made a new friend, that I have all my classes with." I smiled, Charlotte was so nice. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell them about her being a soc or not.
"Who is this boy?" Two bit asked, teasingly.
"Actually it's a girl. Her name's Charlotte."
Pony stopped walking.
"Charlotte? Charlotte the soc?" he asked.
"Yeah I guess so" I said shrugging. I didn't mind her being a soc. Maybe she could actually convince her guy friends to leave us alone. I highly doubted it but I really tried to bring the good out of this.
"I was afraid something like this might happen." Pony mumbled as we continued walking.
Now what did that mean? So now I can't choose my own friends. I wasn't gonna let this go.......

Dally's Chick: ohh, I like the idea of the socs liking her (wink, lol) and wanting her, and then Pony getting jealous. But I don't know about her dying like the girl in the news died. I mean it would kinda kill the whole story, but maybe her getting kidnapped would spice things up a little. Hmmm, I will have to think about that, thanx for the suggestion.
Dally's my hero: Thank you for the carnival suggestion, but I'm kinda bored of soc trouble. I will have to do something serious this time and not just getting jumped. I will take Dally's Chick into high consideration. And oh yeah, don't worry no one will die anytime soon.
