Take the Long Way Home
Well people, it's on to chapter 27. What happens when you take two PO'd psychic entities who can materialize in the real world, one mind entering, memory altering mutant, one pissed off, HIGHLY dangerous girlfriend and one just as dangerous semi-girlfriend, a psychopath bent on world domination, a love struck firebug, a dangerous adversary, and a few hapless victims along for the ride and mix it all together? You get this chapter.
AzureDragoness- I think we can forgo the descriptions. So what if one of your muses is a souleater, BWGmon and Coyote don't have souls!!! The jury is still out on Vegeta though. I still say that my muses can kick your muses' butts!
Animeluvr1-Yeah, I went back and changed it so that it doesn't sound so fruity now. Yes, Tabby and Maria are both on the warpath now.
Alleycat588- I'M SOR-HAR-RYYYY!!!!!
L1701E- You'll find out who Magneto wanted and why here my friend.
KyLewin- Oh come ON! Do you REALLY think that Bahumut and Smaug would put up with some Italian monkey (no offense to anyone Italian who looks somewhat monkey-like) rooting around in Shawn's head! And you'll have to thank Legendary Warrior for the Batman reference; he's the one that convinced me to put it in there somehow.
Andivari- Heh-heh, not pretty indeed. And he's not the only one that gets a taste of punishment. Let's just say that Thanatos and Sabretooth won't ever want to try this plan again.
X00001- I wouldn't say fighting exactly. It's more of a brief slaughter.

Chapter 27- I Wouldn't Go In There if I Were You!
Shawn moaned in pain as he slowly regained consciousness. He quickly shook the cobwebs out of his head however, when he heard Magneto speaking to him. "I have to apologize, the particular type of knockout gas we used on the two of you tends to cause slight muscle cramps." Shawn opened his eyes to find Magneto, Sabretooth, and a man who bore a striking resemblance to a monkey standing around him. Sabretooth was leaning against a wall, picking his teeth with his claws, while Magneto and monkey-man were standing right in front of him. Magneto noticed the young Shinobi's eyes open, and smiled grimly. "Welcome back to the land of the living Mr. O'Reily. I trust you had a pleasant flight."
Shawn opened his mouth to retort, and found that he was wearing a facemask similar to the one he had seen used on Hannibal Lector in "Hannibal". Magneto smiled once more. "You'll forgive the precaution, but I thought it wise to make sure that my base didn't go up in flames the moment you awoke." Shawn scowled around the mask, but didn't rise to the bait, instead he said the first thing that came to mind, other than how slowly he was going to eviscerate the three of them, over a bed of hot coals perhaps.
"Where's Rick!" he demanded. Magneto simply pointed to Shawn's side. Rick was there, unconscious and strapped to a chair much like Shawn was, except he had some sort of containment device strapped onto his hands instead of a facemask.
"Mr. Carter is still unconscious, but unharmed otherwise. You and he are going to be going through a small…change in views," Magneto said. Shawn glared.
"So what's the big scheme ya walkin' lodestone?" Magneto smirked.
"Since it won't matter in a few moments, I might as well tell you. Mastermind here," he indicated monkey man, "is going to rewrite your memories so that I am the one you pledge your loyalty to, instead of that weak hearted fool Xavier. I originally intended to only capture Rictor, since he is the newest mutant at the Institute, and therefore not as loyal to Xavier yet, but you were a prize to good to pass up. Your training, part of the reason you were caught as well, makes you particularly dangerous though, which is why you've been selected to undergo the process first." Magneto turned with a flourish of his cape that Shawn was sure he practiced in front of a mirror, and walked out, after giving Sabretooth his orders. "Watch them, and if anything goes wrong, alert Thanatos and the others immediately. I'll be in my quarters. Alert me when the procedure has been completed." And then he was gone.
"So," Shawn smirked at the Italian mindreader, "what's on your mind monkey-butt?" Mastermind just sighed and placed his hands on Shawn's temples. As he began to enter the young boy's mind, he suddenly realized that Shawn had a smirk of triumph on his face. Something was wrong here! Panicking, Mastermind attempted to pull out of the boy's consciousness. But another, stronger mind pulled him the rest of the way in. In the physical plane Mastermind suddenly stiffened. Inside Shawn's mind however, was a different story.
Mastermind looked about himself fearfully. His consciousness had been pulled into the Nexus, where it was now being towered over by Smaug and Shawn. Bahumut just lay in the entrance to his portion of their mind, watching the other two. All the time Magneto had been talking, they had been conducting an impromptu council of war. It had been decided that Bahumut and Shawn would deal with the intruder, while he dealt with the security. He gave a smug reptilian grin as he faded out of the mind. Back in the physical plane, Sabretooth just stood picking his teeth, not noticing the cave mouth that was forming on the wall behind him.
Back in Shawn's mind, Bahumut and Shawn had just finished restraining Mastermind with some rope Bahumut had had in his section of the mind (AN: Ask me no questions about this, I'll tell you no lies.) and were currently debating what to do with him. "Bahumut, you know perfectly well that we can't kill him in her! The residue from his mind could end up trapped here, and then it would probably end up forming some stupid evil persona that would try to take over my body!" Shawn protested. Bahumut, who had summoned his sword and was swinging it experimentally over Mastermind's head, pouted like a spoiled child.
"Awwww, you never let me have any fun!" Shawn looked at him for a moment.
"Calling. Out. Pyror," he said evenly. Bahumut shrugged.
"Your point. But back to the matter at hand…" he turned and regarded Mastermind with an evil glare, "what do we do with this fourth rate mind bender?" Both minds pondered this, their eyes scanning the emptiness that was the Nexus. They regarded the entrances to Shawn's room, Bahumut's little garden park, and Smaug's cave. Simultaneously their eyes came to rest on the fourth and final door in the Nexus. They looked at each other and grinned wickedly. "Shawn?"
"Yeah?"
"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
"Yeah, we're going to go to hell for this aren't we?"
"Well DUUUH!!!" All the while, Mastermind fearfully regarded the barred and bolted and boarded-up door that led into Shawn's subconscious mind.
Back at the Institute, everyone had shaken off the effects of the gas and they were assessing the damage. Toad and Lance were beating themselves up over the fact that they had let Magneto get away with two of their friends, while Kitty and Wanda did their best to console them. Tabby wandered over to where Amara was sitting away from everyone else. "Hey, what's got you so bummed?" asked the blond. Amara shook her head slightly.
"I don't know. It's just…that boy, the one called Pyro?" She looked at Tabby, who nodded for her to continue. "Well, it's just that he didn't actually seem to be a bad person. He helped me into a more comfortable position, and he acted as if he didn't know, or care that I was the enemy." She blushed suddenly, "And I think he flirted with me!" she added. Tabby smiled a little, and, after comforting the young princess about the fact that she couldn't have known about the drugged food, turned and walked back into the mansion. She headed down to the lower levels, and made a beeline for Cerebro. She found Maria pacing in front of the door. There was a path beginning to form in the floor. She looked up as Tabby appeared, before resuming her impatient pacing. "Still no sign of them?" Tabby asked, a note of worry making its way into the happy-go-lucky girl's voice.
Maria shook her head. "The professor's been in there for the last half hour. Of course," she added in a nasty voice, "the fact that he was this close," she held two of her fingers up and pinched them together to demonstrate, "to being piss-faced drunk doesn't really help things much." Tabby laid a hand on the feral clone's shoulder, stopping the other girl's pacing.
"Hey," she said with a half smile, "Relax. I mean, this is Rick and Shawn we're talking about. I'll bet that by the time we find them, they'll have already escaped and made it back home." Maria sighed.
"You're right. Except for one thing."
"What's that?"
"This is Rick and Shawn we're talking about." Tabby was quite for a moment, before she looked at the door to Cerebro, and then back to Maria.
"Move over." The two began to pace side by side.
-Back in Magneto's lair-
Sabretooth stretched from his position at the wall. Mastermind had been in the kid's mind for about ten minutes now, with no sign that he was letting up anytime soon. 'Ah well, I just hope the runts don't get in the way once they've been reprogrammed.' He stopped in mid-stretch when he felt something wrap around his ankles. "WHAT THE!!!?" was all he had time to shout before Smaug became visible in the center of the room, standing guard over the boys. His tail was wrapped around Sabretooth's ankles. After his cave had formed, giving him access to the real world, Smaug had turned invisible, (AN: YES THEY CAN DO THAT!) and silently made his way to the center of the room. After he had accomplished that, he wrapped the end of his tail around Sabretooth's ankles. Suddenly, he spoke in a breezy sort of voice, although still deep as ever.
"Hang on to your butt kitty, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Apparently he had figured out how to manipulate the air inside of his corporeal form so he could 'speak' without having to bother Shawn. As soon as the words had left his…ummm…snout, he began to whip Sabretooth around the room, like you would see in a cartoon. WHAM! BAM! SMASH! CRASH! CRUNCH! WHAP! As he was doing this, Rick began to stir.
He opened up his eyes and took in the scene before him. A ghostly version of Shawn's full dragon form, which he concluded must be Smaug, was whipping Sabretooth around like a rag doll, apparently without effort. Some monkey-man was standing over Shawn, hands on Shawn's temples, with both of their eyes closed. "Aw man," he groaned, "That gas stuff is making me hallucinate too!" He suddenly noticed his restraints. "The hell?" he muttered. He attempted to flex his arms and fire off a sonic burst to free himself, but the restraints on his arms made that next to impossible. Smaug, still flailing Sabretooth around, looked down at the kid and gave a reptilian grin.
"Relax kid, I'll have you out in a sec." He smacked Sabretooth's skull upside the wall once more, looked critically at the dazed and bewildered expression on the feral's face, and nodded in satisfaction. He tossed Sabretooth against a wall, before turning his attention to freeing Rick. Sabretooth looked around dazedly for a moment.
"But mommy, I don't wanna go to the vet again!" he whined, before passing out.
Inside Shawn's mind, Shawn and Bahumut were leaning back in some chairs Bahumut had produced from his section of the mind, listening to the various screams and cries for mercy coming from behind the door leading to Shawn's sub-consciousness. Shawn looked over at Bahumut. "So how long has he been in there?"
Bahumut checked his watch. "About twenty minutes. Ya think we should let him out?" Shawn nodded. Bahumut sighed, and snapped his fingers. Mastermind appeared before them, huddled in the fetal position and rocking back and forth, whimpering 'no more leeches' over and over and over at a fast pace. Bahumut looked at Shawn. "Well kid, I got him out of your sub-conscious, now you get him out of our head." Shawn nodded and concentrated. A door, labeled exit appeared in the wall next to the entrance to Shawn's room. Shawn walked over to the prostrate mind reader and grabbed him by the collar. When he got to the door, he propped it open, revealing a swirling multi-colored vortex, and grabbed the Italian by the collar and the seat of his pants. He heaved, and flung Mastermind out of his mind.
"And stay out, YA BUM!!" he yelled as the door closed and disappeared. Bahumut nodded.
"Nice touch kid," he grinned. He got up and stretched. "Now whadda ya say we get out of here? I'll go take care of Mag-nutso."
"Fine, but remember, death-breath is mine." Bahumut nodded in understanding.
Back in the physical plane, Mastermind suddenly collapsed, pulling himself into the fetal position and rocking back and forth. He began to whimper "no more leeches" over and over and over at a fast pace. Rick looked at the man, then looked at Shawn, who had opened his eyes. "Dude, what happened to him?" Shawn smirked through his facemask.
"Let's just say that the reason I usually act out of my mind is because it's dark and scary in there." Rick nodded slowly, rubbing his wrists as Smaug finished freeing him.
"Riiiiggghhht," he drawled. Bahumut appeared then, seeming to step out of thin air. He took Shawn's situation in, and then drew his sword.
"Hold still kid," he said, using the same trick Smaug had. The ghostly sword flashed around Shawn's head and torso for a moment, before stopping. There was a brief silence, when it appeared that the attack hadn't accomplished anything. Rick opened his mouth to comment, when…CRASH the entire ensemble fell apart. Bahumut looked expectantly at Rick. "Well?"
"Never mind," the western mutant shrugged. Bahumut rolled his eyes.
"God save me from all teenagers," he groaned, before gliding through the wall. Smaug simply summoned his cave, and entered, going back to his portion of Shawn's mind. Rick looked at the wall Bahumut had disappeared through.
"Where's he goin'?" Shawn grinned.
"To take care of a certain magnetic headache of ours." Rick nodded in understanding, then frowned.
"Hey, I wonder why no one heard all that racket we made?" At that moment Bahumut floated through the door.
"The room's soundproofed kid, that's why. Bucket Brains must have made it especially for this type of thing." Shawn looked at him, or through him, one of the two.
"So ya got him?" Bahumut nodded.
"He was just sittin' there reading in his room. I clocked him over the head with the butt of my sword and it was light's out for mister magnet." He paused. "Did you know that if you hit his helmet in exactly the right spot, it makes his head ring like a bell, just like on cartoons. Oh, by the way," Bahumut looked over to Shawn, "I found Thanatos. He's holed up in his room, sleeping." Shawn rubbed his hands together.
"Exxxxcellent," he hissed. Rick cocked an eyebrow.
"Dude, you seriously need to stop watching the 'Simpson's' so much."
-The Institute-
Tabby and Maria looked up from their pacing as they heard the doors to Cerebro open. Xavier wheeled out, looking pleased with himself, aside from being partially sick. Using Cerebro while you had a hangover was not a fun experience. Before he could say anything, the two worried girls pounced on him. "Did you find them?!"
"Where are they?!"
"Are they alright?!" The questions came hard and fast. He held up a hand, while he held his aching forehead with the other. The girls stopped their bombardment and waited for him to speak. He sighed, rubbed his forehead and spoke.
"In answer to your questions, yes I found them. They're located in an abandoned military fallout shelter about forty miles west of Bayville, and I don't know if they're alright or not; all I could only pick up was their brainwaves for a moment, before some sort of shield blocked them off. Probably Bahumut or Smaug," he added, as if speaking to himself.
"So why aren't we rallying the troops and getting them the heck out of there?!" Tabby yelled. Xavier winced and clutched at his head with one hand. The fatherly professor managed to direct a glare at the bottle blond that had even Maria taking a step back.
"Because," he gritted through clenched teeth, "We're still recovering from the party and the fight! No one is fit to fly the Blackbird right now!" At that moment Dante turned the corner, perfectly sober.
"On the contrary professor, I can fly it. Just get a team together and we'll be good to go." With that, he did an abrupt abrupt-face, and was gone. Xavier just stared at the spot Dante had occupied for a few seconds before shaking his head in a resigned manner. He looked at Maria and Tabby, who looked back at him.
"I take it you're going to insist on going?" he asked tiredly. They nodded in unison. He sighed. "Fine." The two nodded in thanks, and raced off to get the rest of the rescue team together.
Ten minutes later, Maria, Tabby, Toad, Wanda, Lance, and Kurt were gathered in the hanger, waiting for Dante. Logan and Beast were still too plastered to help, and Raven and Storm were assisting with the cleanup. Coyote was 'assisting' too, emptying the rest of the bottles he Logan and Dante had brought out.
Lance had insisted on the Brotherhood being allowed to participate in the mission, as they considered both Shawn and Rick friends. The professor, in no mood to argue, had complied. Those not chosen for the rescue were assisting in the cleanup outside. Maria and Tabby were pacing nervously, waiting for Dante to show up in order for them to get going. The X-men were in full battle gear, while the brotherhood members had just discarded any unnecessary articles of clothing. "Where IS he!?" Maria growled for the twentieth time. Dante's smooth voice cut through the tension in the air like a whip.
"Patience is a virtue you know," he said calmly as he walked up. He was decked out and battle ready, with his guns, sword and gauntlets all in place. He looked at the Blackbird for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction. "Well," he said, "let's get this bird off the ground and get our boys back." As he said this, he was nearly run over by Maria and Tabitha in their haste to get onboard. Only quick reflexes and a fast dive kept him from getting trampled. He looked at the rest of the team and smirked slightly. "Well they're anxious to get going," he smirked.
-Back in Magneto's lair-
Rick was hiding in the room he and Shawn had been brought to in Magneto's base, peering out around the doorframe every so often. Shawn had disappeared to take care of Thanatos, and Bahumut was floating in mid-air, practicing with his sword. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching from two different directions. The sounds coming from the direction Shawn had disappeared to sounded as if someone was dragging something. The footsteps from the other direction on the other hand, were light and measured. Rick chanced one more look out the door, and saw the fringe of Gambit's trenchcoat preceding the thief around the corner. Rick ducked back behind the door, closed it quickly and quietly, and motioned for Bahumut to be silent. He stopped dead however, when he heard Shawn talking cheerfully in the hall to the enemy.
"Hey Gambit, how's it goin'?" Shawn asked in a voice that sounded as if he were supremely pleased with himself.
"Uhhh…pretty good ah guess. Ummm…why exacly are you draggin' an unconscious Thanatos through the hall, tied up with electrical wire?"
"Because I couldn't find any duct tape." There was a silence.
"Oh." After a moment, Gambit spoke again. "So where's your friend…Rick?" Rick tensed, then jumped suddenly as he felt a chill spread through his shoulder. He 'yiped' and spun around to find Bahumut floating a little ways off, his hands in the air.
"Sorry kid, cold hands." Rick opened his mouth to reply when the door opened to reveal Shawn, with the end of a piece of electrical wire held in one hand, and leading back over his shoulder, and Gambit. In Shawn's other hand he held a coil of wire. Neither one looked as if they had any intention of fighting the other. In Shawn's other hand he held a coil of wire.
"Shawn," Rick said in a warning tone, "Explain." Shawn shrugged sheepishly.
"It's a looong story man. Before we go into it, how bout you and me redecorate the place with a few new hanging decorations?" He tossed Rick the coil of wire. Rick looked over Mastermind and Sabretooth, and grinned evilly. He stopped suddenly and looked worriedly at Gambit.
"Okay, so we know that you're cool," he said, addressing Gambit, "But what about the rest of the Acolytes?" Shawn grinned.
"Already taken care of man."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. Colossus is cool, and thanks to me Pyro should be out of our hair for a while." Rick cocked an eyebrow.
"You didn't kill him did you?" Shawn grinned.
"Nope, I just gave him Amara's e-mail address, ya know, the one Kitty helped her set up?" Rick nodded, returning his friend's grin.
"Still meddling in the love lives of your friends I see," Bahumut remarked. Shawn shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well, let's hang these hams up to cure for a while, shall we?"
Ten minutes later, Shawn, Piotor, Remy, Rick and St. John were gathered in what served as the Acolyte's rec room, watching a "COPS" marathon as they talked. Thanatos, Mastermind and Sabretooth, after a little help from Colossus, were hanging from the ceiling like a couple of hams in a butcher shop. Mastermind was still in shock.
Bahumut had agreed to keep an eye on Magneto, failing to mention that the leader of the Acolyte's had a forty-inch big screen TV in his quarters, and a large library of tapes that he intended to ransack. "So," Rick said, as a commercial came on, "You guys and Lance get together every other Thursday and play poker?" Rick pointed to St. John, who was off in a corner, writing feverishly on a piece of paper, stopping now and then to stare into space and sigh dreamily. "What about him?" Gambit shook his head.
"To unstable, he might have blabbed to Magneto or Sabretooth." Colossus nodded in agreement.
"Da. He is good fighter, but too…" He looked at Gambit. "Vhat is vord I am looking for?"
"Insane?" Rick suggested helpfully. Over in his corner Pyro continued to mutter to himself, stuff like 'you ignited a burning flame, one I dare not give a name,' oblivious to the discussion of his mental health. The Russian nodded.
"Da, thank you. He is too insane." Suddenly, the guys heard a groaning coming from their new ceiling ornaments. Both Thanatos and Sabretooth were stirring, groaning loudly. However, neither one had opened their eyes yet. Shawn looked over to Rick, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Hey Rick, you didn't get to fight these guys earlier, didja?" Rick shook his head.
"Between you, Bahumut and Smaug, al the fun was over by the time I got out and about," he grinned wryly. (AN: Have any of you ever noticed that my characters seem to grin an awful lot?) Shawn smirked and gestured towards the two.
"Would you do the honors of keeping them asleep?" Rick nodded, got up, and stood so that he was facing the two. He flexed his arms, and Shawn and the others watched, as his biceps seemed to grow a bit larger. Sabretooth and Thanatos cracked open their eyes, just in time to see Rick let fly with two sonic pulses, which nailed the two flunkies right in the kissers. Shawn high-fived him as he sat down again. "Nice shootin' Tex." Rick shrugged modestly.
Outside the bunker, the Blackbird came in for a rather shaky landing. The joint Brotherhood/X-men team all disembarked, groaning and clutching at their stomachs. Lance, definitely green in the face, made a sprint for a nearby stand of trees. He nearly made it too. Tabby cringed from the sight, and sounds he was making, and glared at Dante. "I thought you said you knew how to fly that thing?!" she snapped. Dante stared back impassively.
"I did. I merely failed to state how well I could fly it." Everyone stared at him, jaws nearly touching the ground, as he brushed past the bottle blond. "Now are we going to get Rick and Shawn, or are you all going to stand around doing your best goldfish impressions?" He turned to Kurt. "I don't think you would be able to get all of us in there before they noticed, would you?" Kurt nodded. Dante looked over at Wanda. "If you would, Ms. Maximoff?" Wanda stepped forward, and began to form a hexbolt between her hands.
"Just remember, Magneto is mine! Now stand back." She cut loose the hexbolt, which blew away a large portion of the wall. Maria and Tabby raced forward, ignoring the other's cries to stay together. Boom Boom looked at Wildcat as they ran, watching the feral sniff the air. She stopped suddenly, and turned to face a hallway.
"I've got their scent. There isn't a smell of blood, so I don't think they've been harmed." Boom Boom nodded, following the girl cautiously as they made their way down the hall. Wildcat stopped suddenly, and you could almost see her ears pricking forward. She frowned, and unsheathed her claws. Tabby, taking her cue from her companion, created some 'five second' cherry bombs, which would explode five seconds after they left her hand, just in case. After a few more yards, she heard what Maria had.
It sounded like a bunch of boys singing "Bad Boys". Maria made her way to the door, and motioned for Tabby to position herself on the other side of it. She held up three fingers, and silently counted down. As she reached one, she and Tabby rushed the door, knocking it off its hinges. They blinked as they registered the sight that met their eyes. Rick, Gambit, Shawn, Colossus and Pyro were all in the room, and the first three were singing. Sabretooth, Thanatos and Mastermind were all hanging from the ceiling by wires, with the first two looking decidedly worse for wear Shawn looked up as the door burst open, and then shrugged. "Well guys, it looks like our ride's here. It's been a real blast, but we gotta be going." At that both Tabby and Maria saw red. They had been worried sick about these two, and in the end they had ended up having a good ole time with the Acolytes. Tabby and Maria shared a long dangerous look with each other, then began to advance on their respective interests.
Shawn and Rick, who had caught the look, looked at each other. "Shall we run for our lives?" Rick asked. Shawn nodded.
"Yes, lets." The two took off like bats outta hell, with the irked females directly behind them. A few moments later, the entire rescue team made their appearance. Kurt scratched his head in confusion.
"I thought zat ve vere supposed to rescue zem from zem!" he said, pointing at the Acolytes. Bahumut appeared in the doorway suddenly, holding a knocked out Wanda over a shoulder. His other arm was wrapped around a bunch of videotapes. Toad immediately moved to take Wanda, who Bahumut handed off without a word. Everyone realized that she had gone after Magneto and Bahumut had probably saved the master of magnetism's' life.
"It's a long story kid, but don't worry, I can fill you in on what the security cameras missed." He tossed a few of the tapes over to Kurt, who deftly caught them, and tossed the rest of them to Dante. At the half demon's quizzical look, he merely smirked and wiggled his eyebrows. Dante caught on and discretely shoved them into his trenchcoat. "Now c'mon and help me get these kids on the plane."
Twenty minutes later, the entire team, with the addition of Shawn and Rick, were en route back to the Institute. The two were a little roughed up, a little singed and a few cuts in their clothes, but nothing major. The girls were now sitting with their faces turned away from the boys, noses in the air and acting mortally offended. Kurt, who was sitting in the cockpit with Dante, turned to the half demon and asked a question that, if this had been an anime, would have had him producing a sweat drop a mile wide. "So, vhat vere zose videos zat Bahumut gave you?"
---To Be Continued---
Well there's the conclusion to that little melodrama. Next time, Shawn and Rick attempt to make amends to their girls. Also, Slash is introduced to Calisto, and is offered a place with the Morlocks. How will she react when informed of the reason that Sebastion and Shippo have made their way into the sewers in the first place. Find out next time, but until then, any suggestions are welcome(and much needed concerning who the guys make it up to the girls) and Read & Review!
