chapter three
Honey, wake up, Jack slid in behind her in the bed.
Hmmmmm, she grunted groggily, Jack?
Time to wakey, wakey, he nuzzled the back of her neck, Get up baby. We need to leave in the next hour if we're going to make to the campsite before dark. Plus, I have one very important stop to make.
What, she looked over her shoulder at him, Stop? Where?
No time for Q&A sweet heart, Jack kissed her on the nose, Come on! Up, dress, eat, go!
Jack, she sat up flustered, as he rushed out the door, How long are we going to be gone? I still need to pack and…
He stuck is head back in the door, Already done, love. Now come on. I've got breakfast ready. Shake a leg!
Jack, Nic wondered, Where are we going?
Like I said earlier honey, we've got an important stop to make, Jack said as he navigated the two lane highway on his way towards Divide.
Jack, she said in a warning a tone, getting suspicious, Where are we going?
He glanced over at her, Isn't it obvious? We're going to your dad's.
What, she exclaimed, horrified, What! Why?
Because, Jack smiled, I'm going to ask for your dad's blessing.
Noooo, Jack please, she cried, Please, no!
Too late, honey, Jack kept his eyes straight ahead, He already knows we're coming.
Jack, he's never going to give his blessing, she sobbed, Please? Let's just go camping?
That was it, he had enough and pulled over on the side of the road.
Nic, he said seriously, You have to stop trying to please your dad. Does it matter if he knows about us? Will his disapproval of us being together keep you from marrying me? I gotta know?
I don't care what he thinks, I love you and I want to be your wife, she whispered, But, he won't allow it.
How old are you, Jack insisted.
She looked at him stunned, 29.
Do you want to be with me, Jack pressed.
Yes, she wailed, Why are you doing this?
Because if I don't, Jack unbuckled his seat belt and slid over to her, If I don't do this, your dad is going to try and control our life together. And, I'm sorry, but there's only enough room for one man in our bed and that's me. Sweetheart, you can't go on trying to gain your father's approval forever. Has he ever approved of anyone in your life? Ha he ever been proud of what you accomplished in your life?
No, she sobbed.
Jack pulled her into his arms and held her tight, I'm sorry.
Jack put the truck into park, and removed his seat belt.
Do we really have to do this, Nic begged.
Yes we do, Jack replied, and got out of the truck.
He walked over to her side, opened her door and helped her out. Jack held her hand as they walked to the door. Nic hesitantly knocked, while Jack prepared mentally for a showdown. He had read Nic's file and the background check on her father. He had a feeling that it was going to be all blow and no show, yet he still steadied himself for the encounter.
The door flew open and her father eyed the man standing next to his daughter before saying, Is everything okay, Nicole?
Yes, daddy, she fidgeted, Daddy, I want you to meet General Jonathan O'Neill.
Hello, sir, Jack put his hand out, Pleasure to meet you. Your daughter has told me so much about you.
Her father looked at Jack with disdain, then looked at Nic, Why are you here? Is everything alright or are you in trouble again?
Nic looked away mortified, then said, No daddy. I'm not in trouble again.
Sir, would be alright if he spoke inside, Jack interjected, Where there is just a little more privacy?
James Marvin muttered something under his breath, then stepped aside, allowing them to step inside.
Nice place, Jack said, trying to make small talk, How are you adjusting to the altitude?
Nicole, her father totally ignored Jack, What's going on?
I can't tell you daddy, she said softly, It's top secret.
Yeah, if we told you, I would have to shoot you, Jack added sarcastically, he was done playing nice.
Jack, Nic exclaimed, then looked at her dad, whose face was flushed with anger, Daddy?
Jack put his arm around her and took in the look that crossed her father's face.
Actually, sir, I'm just joking, Jack grinned, I've gone over all the transcripts of your phone calls to your daughter and I figured it would just be a good idea to come and show you she's okay. You have nothing to worry about your daughter's well-being.
Daddy, Nic looked at her father shocked, Please tell me you didn't?
Ignoring his daughter, he stepped forward getting in Jack's face, I tried calling to find out where she was and nobody would tell me anything. I don't trust any of you and I demand to know what my daughter's doing at Deep Space Command.
Well, we monitor space for starters, Jack began, the cover story that they have used for all these years was the standard.
Bullshit, James Marvin leered.
Okay, Jack shrugged, then looked at Nic, Honey, you might want to out to the truck while I have serious heart to heart with your father.
She shook her head, not moving. All she wanted to do was wake up from this nightmare.
She stays, her father ordered.
Jack looked at her tenderly, Nic. Are you sure? Alright? Actually I'm here, sir to let you know that I have proposed to your daughter and that we're going to be married.
WHAT! SHE IS NOT GETTING MARRIED! I WON'T ALLOW IT! YOUNG LADY HE IS TOO OLD FOR YOU!
Pot, kettle, Jack motioned between them, And for the record, I am not that old. Don't let the salt and pepper fool you.
Daddy, please, Nic begged, I love Jack and he love me.
Jack, is it, James spat, Love, like the last none. Again, I will not allow THIS! I will have your job mister!
Oh, I don't think so, Jack stepped in front of Nic protectively, You think the government is scary? I'll show you scary.
Are you threatening me, the old man stepped up again.
Nope, Jack shook his head, I'm just warning you. I'm not like the other three that you managed to run off with your false bravado and half assed assessments. That and I'm just mean son of bitch when someone tries to hurt a person I love.
Why you….James Marvin lunged at Jack.
Jack sidestepped, moving Nic safely out of the way. With speed and accuracy, Jack then incapacitated the older man, putting him down on the ground and keeping him there.
Now James, that was uncalled for, don't you think, Jack said only loud enough for the older man to hear, I warned you. I'm going to let you up and I suggest you don't try that again. I know you've seen my file, I allowed it. I'm only going to tell you this once. I love Nicole, we're going to get married and live happily ever after, whether you like it or not. Don't call, don't complain or I will make sure November 18th will come up. Finally, we are going off grid for a week, no phones, internet, anything. Am I understood?
Yes, James managed to say, How…..
I don't have stars on my shoulder for nothing, Jack reminded, Now behave.
Come on honey, Jack stepped back, We have a lot of miles to cover and camp to set up. Now, James, I will call you when we get back and remember what I told you.
Yes, her father sat up, stunned at the whole turn of events.
Outside, Nic walked next to Jack, What about November 18th?
Sweetheart, I'll tell you later, Jack warned, And, how much depends on how your father acts over the next month or so.
The drive to the campsite had been quiet and reserved. After setting up camp and dinner, Jack suggested to Nic to go for a swim while he set up for the a very special evening.
She floated on her back looking up at the stars. With everything that happened at her father's, Jack reassured her that as long as she still wanted to get married, they were getting hitched and as soon as possible, Jack's words. He explained that when they returned to the SGC he would file all necessary paperwork to do so. Hopefully by then her father would be starting to get used to the idea of them getting married. She hoped so, too. She had been pleasantly surprised that Jack had something on her father, a consummate conspiracy theorist, who trusted nothing and no one, not even his own child. Then it hit her, what about the rest of her estranged family? No. She wasn't going there, ruining her week off with Jack.. Speaking of, she wondered what exactly Jack had planned for the evenings activities.
There, Jack said, satisfied with the setup, A place for everything and everything in it's place.
At that moment,, he decided to double check the location of his 'bag of tricks' to ensure he could a hold of it easily. Tonight was definitely going to be night to remember.
She made her way back up the path to their campsite, the water had relaxed her to the point of not caring about the rest of the world.
Jack, she sing-songed, as she passed by the banked campfire. She guessed that it was now time for bed. Again she called out for Jack, still no answer. She stopped just outside of the tent, was he playing a game with her? Hide and seek? She knew what she would like to seek, thinking back to earlier when she had him balls deep in her mouth. Stepping into the dark tent, she waited so that her eyes could adjust to the low light. Glancing at their bed, she could barely make out the outline of Jack laying quietly.
Jack, she said, slightly above a whisper, Tired from earlier? Does that mean we have to go to sleep?
Damn that woman, he thought to himself, he couldn't help but chuckle, No, love. I don't want to go to sleep just yet. I still owe you, if I remember correctly.
Oh, she sat down on the edge of the mattress, tossing her towel onto a chair in the corner, I do seem to remember you mumbling something like that. She slid across mattress towards him, settling into the crook of his arm and snuggling up to him. Jack didn't have a shirt on. Trailing her nails over his stomach, she received the desired response from him, a low hiss.
Hmmmm, she purred, kissing his chest, tracing his nipple with her finger nail, Something on your mind?
Yes, he rolled over to face her, You.
Me, she said innocently, Now what could that be?
This, he growled, grabbing her, then rolling onto his back.
She let out of squeal as he tore off her bikini top, burying his face in her cleavage.
God, you're perfect, he whispered, taking one of her nipples into his mouth.
Ah, Jack, she moaned, her fingers carding through his hair, arching into his hungry mouth, the stubble from his scruff scratching her sensitive skin.
Like that baby, he breathed, switching to the other.
Oh god yes, she ground her wet aching sex against his denim clad erection.
Want something, baby, he pulled back to look at her.
Yes, she panted, pushing him back, scooting down to his knees, then grabbing at the button of his jeans, I want that luscious cock of yours, now.
Oh you do, he came up on his elbows, Well, what my baby wants…..
This baby is going to get, she undid his zipper, then yanking his jeans over his hips.
his steel hard erection springing forth from his jeans and thumping him in his stomach.
OOOO, she exclaimed, licking her lips, but before she claimed her prize, she realized that Jack had something on at the base of his cock, What's that?
Just a little something extra, Jack smiled, Why don't you take a closer look?
Hmmm, she hummed, curious as to what it was.
Settling between his legs, she began to inspect the mysterious accessory he was introducing to their boudoir activities. Nic traced it with her finger, hard plastic?
What exactly is it supposed to do, she asked, bewildered, wrapping her hand around his shaft, stroking him.
You'll find out, Jack replied huskily, closing his eyes to enjoy the hand job, Take me in your mouth baby, suck my cock.
He didn't need to ask her twice, she enjoyed giving him head. Circling his head with her tongue, she opened her mouth, relaxed her jaw, then swallowed him half way, before returning to tease the tip, dipping her tongue into the eye and tasting his sweet salty precum. On the second pass, she relaxed her throat more, which allowed her to accomodate all of him. She hesitated just a bit, before coming up for air.
Oh yeah baby, he whispered breathlessly, Take me deep again.
This time she decided not to take breaks, swallowing his throbbing manhood to the hilt over and over again.
He concentrated on not cumming down her throat, cock ring or not, she was the best blowjob he had ever had in his life.
Baby, he gently grabbed a handful of her wild hair to slow her down, This seems a little one sided to me. Bring that honey sweet pussy of yours up here so I can eat you out.
With a mouth full of Jack, she did as she was commanded, giving him her juicy yoni.
Jack plunged his tongue between her swollen outer lips, humming as her sweet honey cream came flowing out. He brushed his thumb over her clit making her grind on his face and moan around his cock. The vibration went all the way to his balls and he was glad he had the ring on or he would have cum right then and there. He moved his oral affection from her slit to her clit, licking, sucking and nipping. It was when he decided to slip a finger in that Nic released his cock and screamed. Flipping her over onto her back, Jack moved between her legs all the while stroking himself. She opened her arms to him, but he shook his head earning him a confused look.
No love, he smiled, flipping her over again onto her hands and knees, We're trying something new.
What, she squeaked, What do you mean?
Jack cut her off by rubbing the tip of his cock up and down her entrance, grabbed her hips, before slipping only the tip inside. Her pleasurable sigh made him grin, so he pulled out. She wanted to protest, but her silenced that's when he entered her again, this time burying himself all the way inside her tight sex and staying there.
OHHHH, she cried into the air mattress, JACK!
Yes, he leaned forward, an action that angled him just right, Did you say something love?
Nic bit her lower lip, she had never felt pleasure like this before, it was like Jack was everywhere inside her. Then he started to move.
At that moment Jack decided to throw gentle out the window, the sight of her ample ass up in the air drove him crazy, he wanted to claim that ass tonight and every night for eternity. He thrust deep and hard, each time grazing her g-spot, hitting her cervix. He didn't care he was putting a baby in her tonight, making her his. He began pounding her mercilessly, his balls smacking against her voluptuous backside. Her walls began to quiver around him, she was close and so was he.
Without slowing down, he put his hands on either side of her and he whispered, Move with me, baby.
Coming up on her hands and knees, she began to rock forward and back, matching Jack's rhythm.
That's it, he gasped, burying his face in her neck, Don't stop Nic. Almost there.
She began to slam back into Jack at a furious pace, as her walls began to spasm, she moaned, Jack…..oh god!
That's it, sweetheart, he groaned, Let go.
She arched her back, Jack wrapping his arms around her, pulling her to his chest, as she cried out, her orgasm ripping through her body like lightning. Riding out her climax, Jack thrust deeper, passed her womb, he was on the edge and he needed an extra nudge. Reaching down, he found the quick release of the ring, with a flick of his fingers, it fell off and he returned to a brutal pace. The burning sensation of his impending release in the pit of his stomach was coiling, spreading down his legs, up his spine.
Nic, he panted, I'm close. PLEASE?
Still in her orgasm induced haze, her limbs heavy, she looked over her shoulder and did the only thing she could, use her words.
Oh yes Jack, she moaned, Deeper. Oh! You feel so good! Fuck me baby! Fuck me hard!
FUCK, he growled, grabbing a fist full of hair, Yeah, baby! Scream for me!
He pounded her mercilessly again, their juices overflowing onto his shaft spurring him on, his body beginning tense on the brink of release.
OH GOD, she screamed, she was going to cum again, DON'T STOP! HARDER! JACK! I'M CUMMING!
He thrust deep one more time, his balls tightening as her sheath squeeze him tight.
OH NIC, he cried, filling her full with his seed, then collapsing on top of her.
He pulled out of her, not wanting to crush her under his weight, rolled over onto his side, pulling her close.
Baby, you alright, he whispered against her ear, I didn't mean to be so rough.
Hmmm, she stretched against him, rolling over to look at him, I'm fine, you didn't hurt me. As a matter of fact, that was…was...wow!
Wow, he chuckled, kissing her on the forehead, That's a first, I've never earned a wow before.
Nic reached up to kiss him, You are a wow. The most amazing gentle, lover. I love you Jack O'Neill with all my heart and I don't want to be with anyone else.
First, I love you, too, Jack said, But you keep talking like that and it's going to give me a big head.
But, I love it when you have a big head, she purred, palming his softening manhood.
Oh, easy baby, he hissed, I'm a little more sensitive after the ring.
I'm sorry, she said, pulling back, I didn't know.
It's okay, Jack tightened his embrace,pulling her close again, Let's just sleep a bit.
Next morning
He jerked awake to find himself alone in the tent. As he sat up, he felt certain joints, bones and muscles complain at being forced into an upright position. Even though last night was more than worth it, he was really beginning to have second thoughts about their late night antics. Either that or he was going to have to start working out in the gym again. The aroma of bacon let him know where his lover had gone, breakfast was nearly ready. He needed coffee.
She tasted the gravy to make sure that she had cooked out the flour all the way, then checked the biscuits she had baked in the dutch oven to ensure they were almost done. Perfect, everything was perfect.
Good morning, Jack grabbed her from behind, kissing her neck, MMMM, something smells good and the food too.
Nic laughed as he continued his way to her pulse point, where he began to sucking hard.
Jack, she cried, No hickeys!
He chuckled against her skin, Oh no love! I'm going to leave my mark so everybody know that you belong to me.
It was a nice day, Jack was taking her to a special place near the cabin, one that he only knew and was difficult for anyone, but him, to find. Glancing back over his shoulder, Jack kept an eye on Nic to make sure she was handling the rough terrain okay. So far, so good. They only had to to stop twice and would be there in about twenty minutes. He really couldn't wait to show her his oasis is the forest.
How much further Jack, Nic asked.
Not far, he replied, Why? You okay? Is last night catching up with you?
No, she quipped, I'm good. Just we've been walking for almost an hour.
You're right, Jack stopped, removing his pack, We'll stop here for a bit.
We don't have to stop, Nic said, as she watched Jack unbuttoning his shirt, remove it to reveal the well worn Air Force t-shirt. Damn it, she thought to herself, why did he have to be wearing something underneath.
He smiled to himself as he watched Nic fan herself, so she liked to watch him undress, that gave him a wicked idea for later, but for now time for a rest.
Drink some water, honey, Jack reminded her, as he took a sip from his Camelback, Don't need to medivac you outta of here due to dehydration, now do we?
No, she pouted, stepping up to him, Exactly where are we anyway?
Ah, ah, ah, he tsked, Now remember? You promised you would trust me.
I know, she sighed, But, still….
It's just down the trail, Nic, Jack wrapped his arms around her, I promise.
From the top of the ridge they looked down, their campsite visible in the distance.
Oh it's beautiful Jack, Nic exclaimed.
No it's not, Jack grabbed her from behind, kissing her neck, You are.
He turned her around to face him, claiming her lips in a searing kiss, pushing her up against the nearest rock, grinding his hips into her, a moan urging him on.
Strip, he growled, tearing off his t-shirt, I want to see those gorgeous tits of yours.
Nic blushed, but did as she was ordered, removing her shirt and bra, Like that?
Yes, he nodded, Now get down on your knees and undress me. I saw how turned on you were earlier. You like me with my clothes off, don't you?
Yes, she nodded, kneeling down in front of him, undoing his jeans and pulling them down past his hips, his hard cock springing free. She licked her lips in anticipation, wondering what Jack would command her to do next.
Jack cupped her chin so he could see her eyes, Hungry, Nic? Do you want something? Wanna devour me?
Yes, she whimpered, the thought of tasting him making her salivate.
Grabbing her by the ponytail, Jack brought her head closer, You wanna swallow me whole? Open up baby, that's it. This time I'm not going to stop. You're going to drink me to the last drop of me.
Jack stroked himself as he guided the tip to her open, waiting mouth. He stopped short, teasingly rubbing swollen head over her lips.
Trace it with your tongue, he ordered, shuddering as she swirled her tongue around it, dipping inside to lap up his precum. He braced himself with his free hand on the boulder as his knees turned to jello and when she deepthroated him, his knees almost gave out.
Oh shit, Nic, Jack cried, Yeah, baby! Take all of me! Oh, you feel so good! Easy with the teeth.
She pulled off him, long enough to apologize, then took him balls deep to the point of gagging before coming back up for air. She took him deep again, this time gently massaging him, then caving in her cheeks to create suction.
OH NIC, Jack groaned, I'm close baby, please?
I want to taste Jack, she whispered, Cum in my mouth?
Keep going love and you'll get your wish, he grunted, sweat glistening on his chest.
Nic relaxed her throat, took all him, as she came back up, she rolled her tongue in wave like fashion around the head, causing Jack to throw his head back and howl. He grabbed her roughly and thrust three more times before exploding in her mouth, Nic drinking his seed greedily.
Once she licked him clean, Nic looked up at him, Are you okay?
Pulling her off the ground, Jack kissed her, tasting himself, I'm fine. You…..
Me, she kissed him back, Me, you can do later. Let's just get you dressed, rest and then head back to camp.
We have to get you dressed too, Jack reminded her, tenderly caressing her breast, Tonight, I think I'm just going to put Big Boy right here and give them a good lovin'.
The idea went straight to her sex making her wet, nodding she asked, Promise?
Oh yeah, he kissed her again, I promise.
Jack banked the fire for the night, a slight chill set in the night air. Tonight was going to be a cuddle and fuck kinda night. He smiled at the thought, he was going to have to get really creative tonight. Since it was a chilly night, he was thinking of warming oils and the possibility of a few clips might enhance to the mood. He had to adjust himself as he stood, then he remembered the promise he made earlier. Oh yeah, tonight was going to be one hell of a night.
She lay on the air mattress in one of Jack's flannel shirts waiting for him to come back from outside. She had removed her panties a few minutes earlier in anticipation of Jack fulfilling his promises from the hike. As she remembered the wicked ideas, she could feel herself suddenly become wet between her legs, and a deep, dull ache spread through her womb. Nic didn't care about everything Jack had said earlier, all she wanted now was him buried deep inside of her, making her feel things she had never felt before and screaming at the top of her lungs as he made her shatter to pieces. She shivered at the thought, wishing that Jack would hurry.
Entering the dimly lit tent, Jack removed his shirt, tossing it in the the corner. Approaching the bed, he toed of his boots, then flopped down, causing Nic to fly into the air.
Hey, she cried, but before she could say anything, Jack was on her like a wolf on bone.
Come here, he growled into her neck, his hands slipping under the shirt, grabbing her ass, Oh! Something on your mind, love?
Yes, she said, breathlessly, undoing his jeans, reaching in to pull his erection free.
Oh, he moaned, I see what you want now.
Forget what you said said, she said, massaging his balls, I want you Jack. I want you inside me now.
Now, he gasped.
Right now, she ordered, rubbing the tip of his cock over her wet pussy, Fuck me, Jack.
Fuck, he grunted, while he worked at removing his jeans the rest of the way, throwing them off the side of the bed, I think it's time to get rid of what you have on.
Instantly she pulled shirt over her head tossing it in the direction of Jack's jeans, Better?
Much, he licked his lips, But first. Lay down.
What, she asked.
Lay down, he ordered with a wicked grin, gently pushing her onto her back and straddling her hips, I told you, I was going to put Big Boy right here.
He gently caressed her cleavage with his fingers, thoughts of this afternoon arousing him more.
She had never done this before and while she eyes Jack's hard shaft poised to drive her to the edge of ecstasy, she wanted to experience this for the first time with him.
You've never done this before have you Nic, Jack asked as he moved up her body.
No, she whispered, now afraid she would do it wrong.
Don't worry, love, Jack stroked himself, I'll show you.
He then reached over to the side of the bed, he was going to need something for this.
Jack poured a few drops of the jasmine scented oil between her breasts, causing her to gasp from the cool liquid hitting her skin. Without saying anything, he began to massage the oil over her breasts in slow, long strokes. Leaning over her, he blew on her nipple, a sudden warm sensation spread over her skin.
Oh, she said, shocked.
Like that, he purred, pouring a bit of the oil on his cock, How about this?
He settled himself on top of her, the tip of his shaft just below her breasts.
Push them together, he urged her, as he glided between her ample mounds, Just like that.
With each thrust, the oil became warmer, a flush spread across her chest as she watched the pleasure wash across his face. She loved knowing she could please him like this.
Jack didn't want to end all over her chest, although the thought was quite enticing, it was time to give her what she wanted.
Spread em, he commanded, climbing off her, Spread yourself wide for me.
She brought her knees up only for Jack to grab her ankles while he positioned himself between her legs. Letting go of one ankle, he angled the swollen head at her entrance, rubbing, her overflowing juices covering him. Then with a quick thrust, he glided inside her already spasming walls as deep as he could go.
Oh, she cried, Yes!
Slowly he thrust in and out, holding her legs up spread eagle.
Like that, he panted, as he maintained the slow burn.
She bit her lip and managed, Ah huh!
Hmmm, he grinned, leaning forward, bringing her knees next to her head and over his shoulders, How about this?
He began to pound her mercilessly, her groans turning into screams.
JAAAACCCCKKKK, she cried, OH GOD! YES! DON'T STOP!
That's it baby, he growled, Cum for me. Cum for me now!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Her walls clamped down hard on him, both of them nearly gone, With a gush and a cry, her body tensed all around him. Riding out her orgasm, Jack pulled out. In long hot spurts he shot his seed on her stomach, chest and as far as her mouth. Nic hungrily licked her lips, tasting him, as Jack collapsed on top of her. They lay there together until their breathing evened out, Jack eventually rolling off her.
He pulled her into his arms, kissed the top her head, That's it. I'm officially ruined.
What, she laughed, sitting up to look at him.
There is no other woman for me, he said, solemnly, I am yours.
0730-Next morning
JACK! JAAAACK! Are you in there?!
What the…, Jack said, suddenly waking.
O'Neill, a monotone voice came from just outside the tent.
Teal'c, Jack exclaimed, No, no,no, no!
O'Neill, are you and Nicole decent, Teal'c asked.
Son of a bitch, Jack flopped back, NO! What the hell are you doing here?!
Jack, Daniel interrupted, It's important. Can we come in?
Nic said groggily, Is that Daniel?
Yes, Jack mumbled, frustrated, Stay here, I'll be right back.
He got up, found his jeans, slipping them on and went to the door. Stepping out into the chilly morning air, Jack demanded, What the hell are you two doing here? I said only in a case of an emergency, didn't I?
It's an emergency, Daniel said, sheepishly, General Hammond told us to bring you and Nicole back to the SGC immediately.
Why, Jack crossed his arms defiantly.
Your presence, along with Dr. Joyce is required back at the SGC O'Neill, Teal'c said, It is of the utmost importance.
Jack hung his head, Shit! Alright, let me wake her up. But, this better be "Save the world" kinda of important or I'm going to be pissed.
