A/n: LISTEN STITCH! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FLUFFY OR WHATEVER BUT IT ISN'T!
Stitch: YES IT IS!
Lucifer: SHUT UP! (Squirt and Stitch suddenly became quiet) You guys agree that violence can be really cool at times right?
Stitch and Me: Yea…
Lucifer: And you both agree that volcanoes are cool too right?
Stitch and Me: Yes…
Lucifer: So you both think death by molten lava is cool but there isn't a volcano in Dungeon Town! And just for the preview, there is a death in this so yea. Or will there be?
Stitch and Me: Exactly, sorry dude. (Does a handshake)
Lucifer: Now that we got that out of the way, I'll do the disclaimer!
Me: Wow, I think you were stuck in that refrigerator too long.
Penelope: OKYOO!
Lucifer: Ah, shut up.
Me: Never mind.
Lucifer: As I was saying, The-3-Amigos doesn't own anything except for the four characters she made, Dungeon Town, and the plot you see on the computer screen. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK FANFICTION READING HEADS!
Me: Ay for Pete's sake…
Anne's Home
"Whoa, nice place you got here! Where's your parents?" said Lucifer.
Anne answered, "They're on vacation over the summer and left the entire house to me and Paul!"
Beast Boy said in awe, "Whoa, you got this entire place to yourself. SWEET! But don't your parents know about this?"
Paul replied coolly, "Of course not, it's just a secret between Grandma, Rupert, Sis, and me."
"Grandma?" said Robin.
Rupert explained, "Grandma was the one who knew this day would come and so did some of the senior citizens of Dungeon Town. She said that the prophecy assumed that us three would be the ones who brought you guys here. In addition, the prophecy knew that it would be all of you, every single one of you would be here. It even knew Rich and Lucifer would be here. Freaky isn't it?"
Everyone else nodded his or her heads.
Lilo yawned, "Well I'm sleepy…"
Starfire agreed, "Yes, we should rest our heads as what Raven and Terra are doing."
Lilo smiled, "But first…"
Izzy widened his eyes, "OH NO! WE WILL NOT DO THAT! It's pretty unambiguous that you would win anyways."
Mimi grinned, "I think I would, or at least Matt would since he's well the leader of a rock band."
"I think Stan and Sandy would win the contest," said Bijou.
Sandy smiled, "Oh come on, and we're just twin hamsters."
Sokka asked, "Wait a minute, what are we doing again?"
Kairi grinned, "Karaoke night, but don't even think about making me sing."
Sora commented, "Kairi, everyone on Destiny Islands know that you have one of the best singing voices in there."
Kairi protested, "It's only because no one knows half of any of the island's singing voices."
"Well at least you sing better than Riku."
"Everyone can sing better than him." The couple laughed. (A/n: Or can he sing? Who knows if Riku can sing? The world may never know… LUCIFER! STOP REENACTING THE TOOSTIE ROLL COMMERCIAL THROUGH TYPING! ARGH…)
"Ok, so who's ready for some karaoke?" asked Paul.
Aang smiled, "I'm in!"
Sokka groaned, "Great."
Neemon asked, "Why do you-"
"FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE CAN YOU STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS?" shouted Bokomon.
"I wasn't asking a stupid question," said Neemon. Bokomon groaned and snapped Neemon's pants.
Rupert took out a briefcase with "Karaoke" inscribed on it and said, "I dunno why they did that either. (Took out a microphone) This is based on a microphone Filipinos created and one of the dudes from Black Eyed Peas is Filipino so that will give an idea on how they look like and, it's also not a wonder that they made the song, Bebot. Cool song too. This microphone lets people have a contest and the one who sings the best will be announced by the mike thingamabob." (A/n: GOD I LOVE THAT SONG! I'M FILIPINO AND PROUD OF IT! Bebot bebot be bebot…) He plugged the microphone in their 52-inch plasma screen TV.
"Welcome to the Ultimate Karaoke Experience! Press 1 if you are just scrolling through songs without competition or 2 if you are having a friendly contest among your friends. For more options, press 3," announced the TV. Rupert pressed two on the microphone.
"Please type in the number of people who are competing," instructed the karaoke system.
Rupert counted everyone excluding Raven and Terra and typed 46.
Lucifer grinned, "Hehe, that's evil of you to put in everyone… WAIT A MINUTE; I'M SUPPOSED TO SING TOO?"
Stitch laughed, "Too late to change now."
Rupert added, "Oh yea, the couples get to sing together."
Stitch and Rich started to laugh uproariously.
The "couples" jaws dropped.
Starfire asked, "So who will go first then with this singing competition?"
Rupert says, "Hm… Good question… Why don't you and Wonder Boy go?"
Neemon started, "Who is-"
Bokomon snapped Neemon's pants and put a piece of tape around his mouth.
Neemon put his hands on his hips and muffled, "Mumma fa la fi fowa merite pow!"
Rupert gave Starfire the microphone and gave Robin an extra mike.
Starfire asked, "What are we supposed to be singing about?"
Robin said, "Why don't we put it on random?"
Starfire nodded her head and pressed Random.
The screen announced, "Now Playing: A Whole New World."
The music started to play.
Robin started with hesitation but got more confident with each verse,
"I can show you the world
Shining shimmering splendid
Tell me princess now when did
You last let your heart decide
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming."
Starfire started to sing with a really beautiful voice,
"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But now from way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you"
Everyone especially Robin was amazed by Starfire's voice.
"Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world"
"Don't you dare close your eyes"
"A hundred thousand things to see"
"Hold your breath it gets better"
They both sang simultaneously,
"I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far"
Starfire sings,
"I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world"
Robin sings with more feeling,
"With new horizons to pursue"
Together they sing,
"I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare"
Robin does his thing,
"Let me share this whole new world with you"
There's an instrumental part, Robin and Starfire are just as tired as the author trying to type this, and the author is very tired right now…
Starfire sings,
"A whole new world"
Robin echoes,
"A whole new world"
"A new fantastic point of view"
Together they sing,
"No one to tell us no or where to go"
Starfire hits the big note,
"Or say we're only dreaming"
"Oh, a whole new world"
"Every turn a surprise"
"With new horizons to pursue"
"Every moment red letter"
Together they go,
"I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare"
Starfire goes,
"Anywhere"
"Oh, there's time to spare"
"Let me share"
"This whole new world with you"
"With you…"
"A whole new world"
"A whole new world"
"That's where we'll be"
"Where we will be"
"A thrilling change"
"A wondrous place"
Together they sing again (A/n: So tired…),
"For you and me…"
Everyone started to smile and cheer and whatever while the author falls to the ground for too much typing with the italicizing and the quoting…
The TV announced, "A 99! GREAT JOB YOU TWO!"
Anne congratulated the couple, "The TV makes a point, you guys are way awesome singers!"
Robin and Starfire blushed and thanked them.
Rupert says, "Next is Pashmina!"
Pashmina widened her eyes and got a miniature microphone from Rupert. She pressed Random and got Love Makes the World Go Round by Ashlee Simpson.
Because the author is very tired, the author will only type that she sang the song and sang it pretty well.
"Cause I say love makes the world go, 'round," finished Pashmina.
Everyone said she had a nice voice and stuff and she got a 95.
Rupert announces, "Guilmon is next!"
Nosey asks, "Izzy, can Digimon sing?"
Izzy shrugged his shoulders, "Who do you think I am? Simon Cowell?"
Tai answered, "No, you don't have a tight shirt that's 3 times smaller than your size." Tai and Matt burst out laughing.
Guilmon looked through the entire selection and chose Frank Sinatra's, "My Way."
Everyone's jaws dropped at his choice and when he sang, he literally sounded just like him. Isn't that weird?
"Um… Henry?" asked Takato.
"Yeah?" replied Henry.
"Did your dad program Digimon to have similar voices to famous people or something?"
"He never told me about that. Must be a side affect I guess."
"Well at least there's a possibility of Guilmon winning."
"Hehe, yea I guess. He did just get a 99."
When Guilmon finished, everyone whooped and hollered.
Rupert walked over to the mike and said in a Ryan Seacrest fashion, "Now these two guys have dealt with the heartless and will break up in three years but will then married! It is my pleasure to introduce Sora and Kairi!"
Everyone clapped.
Anne complimented Rupert, "You're ok with the whole host thing but it's too Ryan Seacrest-ish."
Rupert stayed quiet as he handed Sora and Kairi their microphones.
Sora pressed Random Love Songs since no one else noticed that button.
It showed "When You Tell Me That You Love Me".
Rupert said on the Hamster-Sized microphone, "Oh, that's a hard song alrighty."
They sang back and forth and stuff. Kairi had a beautiful voice equivalent to Carrie Underwood and Sora had a nice voice like Anthony Fedorov (A/n: Like Sora and Kairi, Anthony and Carrie look good together… Just saying cuz, I love American Idol.). They got a 98 and everyone was very happy.
Rupert announced in a Rupert-like way, "Great job you two love birds! Next, is the girl who kicked Mr. I-Got-Banished-By-My-Father-And-Now-I'm-A-Loser by the shin, it's the one and only Lilo! Give it up!" Everyone cheered on the little Hawaiian girl.
She pressed the Random button and got Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride, the Jump5 version.
Nosey snitched the Ham-Sized mike from Rupert and said, "Isn't that such a coincidence? Lilo probably knows this song!"
Lilo nodded her head and said, "I learned it in Hula Class."
She started to sing the song, it sounded so fresh, and like authentic Hawaiian music.
When Lilo was done, everyone was amazed and she got a 99.
After 3 minutes and 4 seconds, Rupert finally got back the microphone and said, "Great job Lilo! You would've done your parents proud! Next up, the guy who thinks food eats people and that weapons are better than superpowers, Sokka!"
Sokka grabbed the microphone abruptly and obviously pressed Random since he didn't know any songs.
He skipped the title of the song and on the screen, it said, "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts!"
When he started to sing horribly, he stopped the song and said, "I AM NOT SINGING ABOUT COCONUTS!" And with that, he gave the mike to Rupert.
Everyone started to laugh aloud. He was graded a 10.
Rupert said, "Well, he was gonna get that grade in the end. (Presses Rim Shot button while everyone laughs) Anyways, up next is the man who can be an alien, animal, or even Digimon! Although his jokes aren't as better than mine, here's Beast Boy!"
Beast Boy pressed the Random button and got Hakuna Matata. He sounded like a younger form of Timon or something since he can turn into a meerkat, (Rim shot). He got an 88.
Rupert congratulated, "Great job BB! You did pretty well but Hakuna Matata! (Presses Rim Shot button) Next up is one of the smallest and cutest couples around, Hamtaro and Bijou!" Everyone whooped and the two Ham-Hams pressed Random Love Songs.
They got, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and they sang pretty well and they sounded cute together. Hamtaro and Bijou got a 98.
Rupert declared, "Excellent job you two! Next up is Mimi! May I suggest a song from Mariah Carey since she has the same name as you: Mimi! It was her nickname just for one of those obvious facts."
Mimi grabbed the mike and found a song that was, "Shake it Off" by Mariah Carey. (A/n: One of my friends kept on playing this song a lot and I always see it on MTV so yea… I still love it!)
She sounded much better than in that episode from 1st Season of Digimon and, she got a 94.
"Great job there Mimi! Don't worry about your score; just 'shake it off'! Yeah, that's not a really good joke… Anyways, here's your favorite lazy sandwich eating experiment, Rich!" announced Rupert.
Rich grabbed the mike and pressed Random. The song was "I Don't to be". He sang pretty well since he got an 85.
Rupert called out, "Nice job Richie! Congratulate yourself with an honorary sandwich! Ok, next up are the people that have the element of water and possibly love! Here's Aang and Katara!"
Aang and Katara came up and pressed Random Love Songs. The song was "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".
As the song started to play, Katara said, "It reminds me of this song my mother used to sing to me." Aang nodded his head. They sang and they sang very well. Katara had a great voice yet Aang's voice still hasn't exactly matured yet but still good. At the end, they got a 91.
"Nice job you two! I guess you guys 'felt the love' (rim shot)! Ok well next dude is that lovable robot, CYBORG!" shouted Rupert.
Cyborg had to sing (since he pressed random) "Bridge over Troubled Waters" but his score was 84.
Rupert sighed, "Oh, that's a setback for ya Cy. You still have that Bumblebee girl back home to cry to (rim shot) and that's another place where Anne spilled her coffee, how rude of her. So next is what Terriermon predicts is the Geekiest Guy in the land, he's planned the plans, the one and only Izzy Izumi!"
Izzy became stiff so Tai and Matt had to drag him to the microphone.
Izzy reluctantly pressed random but didn't look at the song.
The music started and Izzy slowly followed the words, "I… like… big… butts… and I cannot lie?" Everyone fell to the ground laughing.
Izzy stopped the song and said, "This is highly embarrassing and I can't take it anymore. Will someone else sing now?"
Rupert said, "That's my job. Oh yea, you got a 0! You even worse than Sokka! (Sokka shouts, "Hey!") Don't let mike trip you on the way out. Next up is the Ham-Ham with the speed of light but always has his green hat on, Cappy!"
Cappy pressed the Random button and had to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". Everyone's jaws dropped.
"OH COME ON!" shouted Cyborg.
Cappy sang and had a nice voice and got an 89 since it was so easy to sing!
Rupert was amazed by the song and said, "Well that was weird… At least you didn't sing fast (rim shot). Next up is our favorite skateboarder that hates my feet! Here's Paul!"
Paul grabbed the mike and chose "1985".
He did pretty well and got a 95.
"Jeez Paul, can you try singing something else besides that? Oh yea, I forgot; you think that's your 'lucky' song. Lucky my butt. Anyways, next up is one of the fluffiest experiments our man Jumba made, Stitch!"
Stitch scrolled through Elvis Presley songs and found "I Need Your Love Tonight". He sang it nicely since he's well, Stitch but in a Stitch way good. He got a 96.
"And Stitch has just left the building (rim shot). Great job dude! Anyways, next up is that lovable hamster who we don't know what kind of powers she was; it's Penelope with the help of Pashmina!"
Penelope sneezed powerfully and caused the power to short circuit. Everyone freaked out but Penelope eventually pressed Random and got "Feliz Navidad".
Penelope technically sang everything nicely with Pashmina but Penelope was singing everything with an OKYOO or OKWEE. They got a 90.
"Muy bien mi amigas! Now the couple that was caught kissing on Izzy's communicator; here's T.K and Kari!" announced Rupert.
T.K and Kari pressed Random Love Songs together and got "My Endless Love" (A/n: I couldn't think of anything else. Plus, Beast Boy and Terra will sing something together when all of this is over and it's Beauty and the Beast. What a big surprise…).
They both sang beautifully together since the song they sang is one of the gushiest, mushiest, lovey-dovey songs ever.
As they were singing, they were more into the song and that made Davis madder.
Davis asked Tai glumly, "Do you think there's anyone else in the world that understands my situation?"
Tai answered, "I kind of do."
"But you're gonna be her boyfriend for a long time THEN she'll run to Matt."
"So?"
"Mine is kinda more complicated."
"Well at least you don't take any action with it."
Somewhere in the Universe (A/n: GOD I LOVE DOING THIS! Guess who it is!)
A young boy with messy blonde hair plus a metal headband on his head was following a raven-haired boy and a beautiful pink-haired girl that was talking to each other. They were all in the forest.
"Haha… That's exactly where I put it! Now let's see how Sakura will like Sasuke now!" snickered the blonde haired boy.
As Sasuke and Sakura were talking, all of a sudden, a bunch of firecrackers started to pop out of nowhere and the two ran from the area where the firecrackers were.
The boy counted, "3… 2… 1!"
Sakura shouted, "SASUKE! THIS WAS ALL JUST A PRANK WASN'T IT? YOU ARE ACTING SO MUCH LIKE-" Suddenly a twig snapped.
The blonde haired boy gasped and ran away from the woods.
Sasuke said darkly, "Naruto." In his thoughts he added, What a conniving little asshole. What's his problem?
He grunted incoherently and started to look for him.
"Um… What's going on Sasuke?" asked Sakura.
"What just happened was his fault," Sasuke responded. Sasuke continued looking for him.
Sakura thought, How come I never thought of a really good prank like that? She decided to help him and, put her hand around Sasuke's shoulder.
(A/n: Thanks for the suggestion Hurricane's Quill! Isn't Naruto so cool?)
Back to Karaoke Night
Kari and T.K finished and got a 99.
"Nice job you guys! I can't think of anything funny for now but here's my best friend, Nosey!" said Rupert.
Nosey snatched the mike and chose Random. The song was Superstition and he got a 77.
"Pay up Rich! I won the be- Oh sorry ahem. I'm so sorry that happen to ya Nosey but next up is the bossiest, the most nagging, and weirdest witch in town! HERE'S ANNE!" shouted Rupert.
Anne grabbed the microphone and chose "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson (A/n: If you didn't read my one-shot based on that, YOU SUCK! j/k) and said, "This is for Alana." She sang beautifully throughout the song and hit all of the notes. Anne sang like she meant it, and she did mean it,
"And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same Blocked Out thing" She hit that note so well that everyone started to cheer.
She finished with, "Because of you." Everyone gave her a standing ovation.
"100! 100! Congratulations on the first 100 of the game!" shouted the TV.
Anne snatched the mike from Rupert and said, "Thanks you guys! Now I'm controlling the next half of the contest so up next is Howdy!"
Howdy sang "Home on the Range" really bad and got a 75.
Rupert finally snitched the mike from Anne and said, "Feel so sorry for you Howdy my man but now it's our favorite rocker, Matt!"
Matt had to sing "Sugar We're Going Down" and of course sounded as real as Fall Out Boy's version and got 100.
"My man Matt got some game yo! (Everyone became silent) Sorry um… Up next is-"
Anne grabbed a mike and shouted, "YOU!" Rupert shook at Anne's statement, chose Mary Had a Little Lamb, and got a 99.
Rupert said, "Piece of cake, next up is Sandy!"
Sandy chose Random, had to sing "Pieces of Me", and got a 96.
Anne grabbed the mike from Rupert and said, "Nice job Sandy! Next up is the jealous and dirty-minded Davis!" Everyone laughed at her sentence.
"Wow, I didn't know you do comedy," said Rupert.
"Be quiet Rupert," said Anne.
Davis had to sing "American Idiot" by the author's favorite rock band, Green Day but fortunately, they blocked out the bad words for the young ones' sake. He got a 94.
"Isn't it weird how Davis can sing Anne?" asked Rupert on the mike.
Davis said, "Shut up Rupert."
Anne continued for Rupert, "Next up is Bokomon and Neemon since some certain unnamed people don't want to hear them separately. Get your ear plugs ready folks."
Bokomon and Neemon went up and Neemon pressed the I Quit button and asked, "That was the Random button right?" Bokomon snapped Neemon's pants.
Everyone anime sweat dropped.
Anne said on the mike, "Ok… Well up next is that-"
"Incredibly rich hamster that can deal with all business stuff including our taxes since it's tax season here, Omar!" finished Rupert.
Omar pressed random and got "Rich Girl".
He pressed Pause and asked, "Can I choose something else?"
"Sure, we got all night," answered Paul.
Izzy and Sokka shouted out at the same time, "WHAT!"
He chose another song and got an 89.
Next was Panda who got an 80.
"Well at least you two guys gave it a shot," said Anne.
Rupert added, "Exactly, now next is Tai Kamiya and afterwards is Zoë and Takuya!"
Tai chose "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and got a 96 (A/n: Don't worry about the young ones, it will be blocked, BLOCKED I SAY!).
Zoë and Takuya had to sing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and got a 98.
Everyone else went and soon, everyone sang! (A/n: SEVENTH GRADE CHAMPIONS! School inside joke…)
The TV announced, "You all did a great job except for (Rupert typed in 46 names and sorted them out) Sokka, Izzy, Bokomon, and Neemon! The top three are Anne, Matt, and Lilo! The other honorable mentions are: Robin and Starfire, Rupert, T.K and Kari, and Guilmon! Here are your prizes!"
Everyone that didn't win except for Paul shouted, "PRIZES!"
The TV showed 5 Karaoke sets and 1 Ipod Nano. They were real karaoke sets and Ipod Nano!
"The one who gets the Ipod Nano is Anne! The rest get the karaoke sets! CONGRATULATIONS!" shouted the TV. They all got their prizes.
Rupert said, "The Ipod is new, I thought it would be an MP3."
The TV announced, "THANK YOU FOR USING THE ULTIMATE KARAOKE EXPERIENCE 1.5!" It turned off.
"Anne…" said Rupert.
Anne grinned, "I had to upgrade it. We have guests!"
Lilo smiled, "Thanks Anne! I can't wait to show it to Nani!"
Kari thanked, "Yea, thanks. I had fun!"
Matt smirked, "Yup, your karaoke set and Kari made T.K not sound as horrible as he is in the shower."
T.K. had a mad anime sign on his forehead.
Lucifer groaned, "Can we just sleep now?"
"Sure, good night guys," said Paul. Everyone went to sleep.
As Beast Boy carried Raven and Terra upstairs, their eyes glowed a crimson red without Beast Boy seeing it.
Midnight at the Villain's Camp
An evil figure with a deep and gruff voice spoke, "Are you sure this will work?"
"Yes o evil one," answered Maleficent.
"Good, but do we have to share the glory with them when we prevail?" asked the evil figure.
"Oh hell no, they will be rid of by then," said Maleficent.
Myotismon said playfully, "What did Hamsterviel say about those kinds of words?"
Maleficent snarled and Myotismon stopped.
All of a sudden, Raven and Terra with red glowing eyes walked in the tent.
Myotismon grinned, "It did work! Hamsterviel is really good at evil serums!"
Maleficent groaned, "Ay, it looks like you've just seen a brand new Ipod. Just tell them what they're supposed to do."
Myotismon nodded his head and huddled up with Raven and Terra to tell them what they're supposed to do.
The unknown villain started to speak when Myotismon finished talking, "Now tell me, what you are supposed to do?"
Terra and Raven said in a zombie like way, "DESTROY MALEFICENT'S CD COLLECTION! (Myotismon made a hand signal to cut it out) WE MEAN DESTROY THE CHOSEN ONES!"
"Good, now remember act normally until the time is right," said the figure.
Terra and Raven went back to Anne's house.
Maleficent asked sternly, "What did you tell them about my CD collection?"
Myotismon said, "Oh come on! Who listen to the Carpenters? They're alldead!"
A/n: HA HA! I FOOLED YOU! HA HA! NO ONE DIES YET! HA HA! I REALLY GOT YOU GUYS! HA!
Lucifer: You came up with the karaoke idea as you were typing but you really wanted Maleficent and Myotismon to die in this chapter.
Beast Boy: Dude, stop spoiling everything!
Lucifer: I'm not the one who's supposed to sing a mushy gushy love song. If it was up to me, I'd split you and Terra up in no time flat.
Beast Boy: HEY!
Me: Guys, we already had an argument last chapter so shut up!
Lucifer: That's my phrase.
Me: I CREATED YOU SO I CAN SAY IT WHENEVER I WANT! (Mad Anime Sign on forehead)
Lucifer: (Stammering) Ye- yes mam, right away mam.
Sokka: Ha! Lucifer's such a chicken!
Lucifer: Well you're not exactly the Brave Little Toaster.
Brave Little Toaster: I HEARD THAT!
Hamtaro: Where did you come from?
Brave Little Toaster: A factory of course, now where am I?
Me: GET OUT OF MY ROOM YOU STUPID TWOBIT TALKING PIECE OF METAL! (Smashes toaster to bits with a lamp) HA! HOW DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE IN PIECES HUH?
Terriermon: Are you okay Squirt?
Me: (Takes deep breath) Now I'm fine.
Lucifer: You forgot to take your normal medicine huh?
Me: HEY! I just get hyperactive all of the time!
Sokka: Sure…
Me: Well if you can't believe anything, why don't you give us the preview?
Sokka: Fine I will! There will be a death hopefully and romance between Beast Boy and Terra!
Me: Thank you! Review as much as you can!
