Once Upon a Time: School's Out! The Third One-Chapter 19
A few minutes earlier...
Snow White groaned one last time before slamming down the toilet lid and sitting on it. She then reached out a quivering hand and pulled some paper out of the dispenser, wiping her lips before throwing it in the disposer next to the porcelain bowl.
This baby had better be REALLY cute, she thought as she took a mint out of her bag. She had started carrying them around to get rid of that God-awful taste in her mouth throwing up all day gave her.
Wiping the sweat off her brow she vacated the cubicle and went to the sink to wash her hands. Once she was done she went to dry them, and it was there the copy of the Daily Mirror caught her eye, thrown carelessly in a wire trash-can.
Normally, Snow White would have ignored the paper (she didn't pay much attention to it ever since the 'Fairest' madness) but when she saw who's picture was on it, and the headline that was above, she immediately crouched down (unable to bend due to the baby inside her) and picked up the paper. She read it. Then she read it again. And then one more time.
From within her she felt her baby give her a sharp kick in the abdomen, probably due to her mother's racing heart. Snow White scrunched the article into her palm and hurried out of the Ladies. She had to find Charming. She had to show him this. Right after she found Belle and asked her what the hell happened to give her such extensive brain damage-
SLAM!
"Ow!" Snow White stumbled as she ricocheted off whoever she'd just walked into, nearly falling over before she leaned forward and regained her balance.
Guess having a five pound baby stuffed up your shirt is good for something!
"I am so sorry" she quickly apologised, brushing her hair out of her eyes "Are you al-"
"You..."
The venom in the other person's voice made Snow White pause, and she looked up properly to see who she'd walked into. She then sucked in a small, frightened gasp.
Regina.
Snow White whispered her name, feeling the incriminating article burn in her hand. Regina's dark brown orbs bored into her soul, trapping her where she stood. She didn't know what to do, the last time Regina had looked at her like that, it had been a few days before she tried to kill her!
For long minutes, the two just stood there, staring at each other without so much as blinking, Regina stiff and livid, Snow White frightened and unsure of what to do next. Should she say something? Should she walk away? From her enraged stature she had no doubt that Regina had seen the humiliating article. Maybe she should just move to the side and run like hell?
But even as she went to take one step, Regina moved into her path, her eyes blazing as her lips moved to speak:
"So, are you going to gloat, Blanchard?" she snarled, and Snow White tensed, quickly shaking her head.
"No! Of course not-"
"You're probably loving every minute of this, aren't you?" Regina overrode her, her voice rising "You, and all your little friends" she sneered the word, like it was a foul curse. Snow White tried to speak, but Regina wasn't done:
"Tell me, dear, did she see it as justice? Turning me into some College Freak, in return for me turning you into a life support vegetable?" the words were harsh, and she was clearly trying to get a rise out of the other girl, but Snow White fought to keep her temper, telling herself that she was angry, and emotional. God knew what everyone had been saying about her...
So, instead of getting angry, she released a small, sad sigh "I don't delight in your pain, Regina" she told her calmly "I...I actually feel really sorry for y-"
SMACK!
She didn't even see that slap coming, her head just whipped to the side, and a white hot pain was suddenly burning of the left side of her face. It instantly cut off her words, and she lifted a hand to her cheek, feeling the sore, swollen flesh.
From ahead of her, Regina's voice shook with rage as she spoke again.
"Don't you dare stand there and lie to my face, you little whore! Do you truly think I can't see right through you? You wanted this!" slowly, Snow White turned her head, her hands trembling against her stinging face and tears welling up in her eyes. To her surprise, she saw that while Regina was practically screaming with anger, her own eyes were wetter than normal, and her bottom lip was trembling as though she might start crying at any minute.
Snow White swallowed, pity rising in her again "R-Regina, none of us wanted-"
"Yes you did!" Regina screamed "You all did! You wanted to make me look like I was insane! You wanted me to loose everything! You want me to go back in the asylum!" she screamed every time she said the word 'Wanted', and a well manicured fingernail shook in Snow White's face. She looked quite hysterical.
But then, after a moment's pause in which neither girl spoke, a new look came over her perfect features, straightening them out until she no longer looked terrifyingly demented, but instead strongly determined, coupled with a small but slightly manic smile on her dark red lips.
Almost elegantly, she straightened up, smoothing down her clothes and looking down at Snow White with a small but powerful glare. It was a glare the teen knew well, despite having only seen it once last year when those 'Fairest' articles started coming out in the Mirror. It was a glare that made Snow White feel like her heart would still, and her blood congeal.
Seeing it again now, she realised the effect had not changed.
"But I hope you know this, Blanchard. It's not going to happen" said Regina. Her voice was more leveled, no longer a scream, and her tears appeared to have dried up "Because I would rather die than go back to that place"
"I don't want you to go back to that place!" Snow White blurted out in desperation, her hands flying off her face and forming into fists at her sides. At her declaration, a brief flicker of surprise passed over Regina's expression "I swear! None of us want you to end up back in the-"
Regina's hand shot into the air, and Snow White flinched, shutting-up instantly. The flash of anger that flared up in her eyes died quickly, and she lowered her hand, folding it with her other arm across her chest.
"From now on, Blanchard, you, and those rumour-happy friends of yours keep the hell away from me. Or else that baby of yours" she glanced down at Snow White's protruding stomach "May end up an orphan as well as a bastard"
Snow White tensed immediately, her hands surrounding her stomach as though they could protect her baby from Regina's harsh words. But she didn't react, she couldn't risk it.
Perhaps Regina sensed her weakness, because after her statement her lips spread in a vindictive grin. Stepping forwards, she made sure to bump Snow White's shoulder hard as she sauntered out of the hall.

"They should not be allowed do keep you waiting that long!"
"Belle, their doctors, they do have other people to see"
"Yeah! And I'm one of them, Ella! Or did you think this was just a fashion statement?!" Belle jabbed a finger towards her nose, the bridge of which was now covered with a thick band-aid. Ella made a non-committal sound and didn't respond.
As they walked out of the hospital doors, Ruby rolled her eyes with a loud groan.
"Oh my God, stop whining!It's not thatbad here!" as she spoke, a cute young doctor crossed their path. He smiled at Ruby, who responded with her enticing wink and smile "Hi..."
Ella rolled her eyes "Ruby, you have a boyfriend!"
Ruby snorted, waving her fingers at the cute doctor until he disappeared into the hospital "So? Doesn't mean I can't window shop"
Ella made a disgusted sound "I weep for Peter..."
"Hey, my man has no complaints! As long as he's the only one who gets to see what's under these clothes, he doesn't care who I might be mentally undressing!" Ruby laughed when Ella cringed and shook her head in disgust. Belle, meanwhile, accepted the fact that she was now invisible and gently pressed her fingers against the bridge of her nose, the sticky bandage making her face itch. The doctor had told her that it was broken, but it should be better within a couple of weeks, and the bruising would go down in less than that. When he'd checked her ribs he'd told her that they were fine, but she would experience some bad bruising.
"I am not a prude!" Ella squealed at Ruby, who raised her eyebrow in a 'Oh Yeah?' motion "You think you know me so well, Ruby Lucas, but you have no idea what Thomas and I get up to behind closed doors!"
"O-ho!" Ruby chortled as the blonde burned scarlet "Do tell, Miss Boyd!"
Ella's red deepened to Vermillion and Belle rolled her eyes when she heard her stutter nervously. However, she was saved when the phone in Belle's pocket started buzzing, and the song "Tale As Old As Time" filled the air. They stopped to stare at Belle's pocket as she slipped her hand in her pocket to pull out her phone "You phoned the College, Ruby, didn't you?" she asked, and when Ruby nodded she frowned in confusion, wondering who it could be.
She looked at the caller I.D, and she very nearly gasped out loud.
It was Rumplestiltskin. He was calling her to make sure she was O.k while he was gone, and she was in a flaming hospital with bruised ribs and a broken nose!
Crap! What was she going to tell him?!
"Belle? Are you O.k?" Ruby gently shook her shoulder "You look like you've see a ghost!"
"Who is it?" asked Ella.
"It...it's Rumple..." Belle replied. Ella gasped, and Ruby's hand tightened on her shoulder.
"Oh crap!"
"Oh my God, he's gonna kill us!" Ella squealed, her hands flying to her mouth "Belle! Don't pick up!"
"No, Belle, do pick up!" said Ruby, glaring at Ella "You have to tell him what Regina did to you!"
But she couldn't. She knew she probably should, but if she did then Rumplestiltskin would insist on coming back to the College, even if only to give Regina his own small piece of hell, and he couldn't come back yet, not while his family needed him.
The phone was still ringing, and Ella and Ruby were watching her, waiting to see what she would do. So, with a semi-deep breath, she swept her thumb over the phone, and pressed 'Reject Call'
"No!" Ruby moaned, while Ella breathed a great sigh of relief. She stared at Belle incredulously "What did you do that for?!"
"His family needs him" said Belle, slipping her phone back into her jeans pocket "More than me"
Ruby huffed furiously "Belle, he has a right to-"
"Cause we are li-ving, in a material world, and I am a Material Girl, you know, that we are li-ving, in a material world, and I am a Material Girl!"
"Hang on a sec" she grumbled as her own phone buzzed in her and Ella watched her as she pulled her phone out of her red jacket, received the call without looking at the caller I.D, and her eyes widened hugely.
"Uh..c-can you hang on a second? O.k!" she pressed her phone against her shoulder, and Belle was nearly blown off her feet when she yelled "BELLE! Why the HELL does Rumplestiltskin Gold have my number?!"
"He what?!" Belle gasped, staring at the phone as if it had just done a backflip. No way...he couldn't have...
"He want's to talk to you!" Ruby hissed, keeping the phone against her shoulder, but everyone could still faintly hear the Scottish brogue coming out of it, and it was getting louder "What do I tell him?!"
"Oh bloody hell!" Belle hissed, so he couldn't hear her. She felt terrible about it but he couldn't know yet! "Tell him...tell him I'm not with you!"
"Wow, that's imaginative!" Ruby rolled her eyes before pressing her phone back against her ear, speaking in a moderately more polite tone "O.k, Belle's-stop yelling at me!-Belle's not with me right now, but I'll tell her to call you when I see her, O.k?...no, I am not covering up for her!...because I say I'm not lying!...well, it doesn't matter what you believe, she's not here!"
"Ruby! Hang up!" Belle hissed, and she nodded, sending Rumplestiltskin a sarcastically pleasant goodbye before stabbing her phone silent. She sighed heavily, turning to her injured friend with a very judgemental look on her face.
Belle released the breath tightening in her chest "I'm sorry"
"Sweetie, it's Rumplestiltskin Gold, you might as well tell him soon because one way or another, he will find out what happened" Ruby told her bluntly, and Belle nodded. She spoke again when they started walking back to James' car.
"I know, and I will I promise! Just...after his mother's court case. O.k?"
"O.k. But you can't avoid his calls until then because he'll probably come back anyway just to make sure you're not dead!"
Belle nodded again as Ella's phone started ringing, knowing just how likely that situation really was "I know that too. Don't worry, I'll call him tonight. I just...need to figure out what to say"
"And I'd figure it out really soon!" Ella squeaked, and when Belle and Ruby looked at her they saw she was holding her own blue phone in her hand. Belle's stomach plummeted when she heard Rumplestiltskin's voice coming out of it.
"Oh, come on!"
"Belle!" Ella whimpered quietly "How does Gold have my number?!"
OUAT
After James' Phys Ed class Snow White met him for lunch in the cafeteria like they had arranged via cell phone. He was with Thomas and Frederick, both of whom looked up sympathetically when she arrived.
"Hey Snow..." Frederick nodded with a tight smile.
"How's it going?" said Thomas, his voice so falsely peppy he could've been a cheerleader.
Well, I got slapped in the face and my life threatened because one of my best friends is an unexpected gossip queen and everyone's making fun of a girl who tried to murder me. But other than that I'm great.
Snow White shrugged "Can't complain. Can I talk to Charming for a sec? Alone?"
The boys looked to James and he nodded. After a moment's hesitation, they picked up their food trays and stood.
"See ya, Charming!" Thomas smirked as he left, and Frederick laughed.
James groaned in a long-suffering manner "Yeah, thanks Tommy!" he looked at Snow White in a look that said 'What're you gonna do?'
But Snow White was not in the joking mood. She sat down next to him and flattened out the crumpled copy of the Daily Mirror on the table "Have you seen this?"
James didn't even have to look at the article to know what she was referring to. He nodded "Yeah, I know. It's bad"
"It's more than bad, James! This is catastrophic!" Snow White cried, waving the paper in his face before crumpling it in her hand and throwing it to the ground.
"Woah, hey!" said James, putting a calming hand around her forearm, she looked at him, a storm of hopelessness in her emerald-green eyes "Snow! It's O.k! She won't touch you, I promise" he pulled her in for a hug, and Snow White let him, needing the comfort of his arms at that moment.
They remained that way for several minutes, James' hand making comforting circles in the middle of her back and both uncaring for who was staring at them, until Snow White's gaze fell upon the discarded article on the ground. She glared at it.
"I just can't believe Belle would do something like this" she muttered, and she felt James breathe in deeply before he pulled away to look at her.
"Well, apparently she didn't write it" he told her, and Snow White frowned.
"What?"
"According to Ruby, Belle has no idea how that" he nodded at the crumpled paper "Got into the Mirror under her name. She said she never wrote it"
Snow White paused for just a second, frowning to herself "Well that's...suspicious..."
Now it was James' turn to frown "What do you mean?"
But Snow White didn't respond, her thoughts swirling around her head and clicking into place. Belle didn't do it...but someone wanted to get to Regina...and she swore she would never go back to that place...
"Snow?"
She gasped suddenly and gripped James' shoulders, lurching at him with a sudden frenzy-like look that made him jump "Charming! You're a genius!"
"Well, yeah" he nodded, and then frowned "Uh...you wanna tell me why?"
"Someone wrote that!" she pointed at the article "Someone who wasn't Belle, but someone who still wanted to make Regina look nuts!"
"O.k..." James nodded again "Where are you going with this?"
Snow White groaned loudly "James, don't you see?! Look, Regina told me that she would rather die than go back to the asylum, so why would she suddenly start sneaking drugs into the school? Why would she put herself in jeopardy like that?"
"Uh-"
"Exactly, she wouldn't! Charming!" she suddenly grasped his face between her hands, staring at him with her unblinking gaze "I think she's being set up!"
"Wait a minute" James shook his head free from her hands, his brow furrowing at her slightly "She told you all this? When were you talking to Regina Mills?"
"Today, right before she threatened to kill us all"
"WHAT?!"
"But that doesn't matter!" Snow White shook her hands out in front of her in a dismissive manner "James, don't you see? If we can just find out who's doing this to her, we can get them to stop, and everything will go back to normal! We wouldn't have to worry about Crazy Regina anymore!"
But James was shaking his head "O.k, I'll admit it sounds plausible. But Snow, you know she put Belle in hospital, right?"
Snow White paused, her realisation-buzz fading the slightest bit "...What?"
"Yeah! She went ballistic on her and broke her nose! Two hours ago!" he said "Does that sound like someone who's not crazy?"
Snow White had to admit, it didn't look good, and she felt a pang of sympathy for Belle (which was quickly followed by some fear as she thought about what would happen to them all when Rumplestiltskin found out) but just then, she felt a sharp kick in her gut.
Emma. She had woken up, and her kick was like her own little message, telling her mother to listen to her instincts. She smiled slightly, looking down at her stomach and stroking a hand across the raised lump before turning back to her boyfriend.
"James, I know I'm right" she said determinedly, and James looked like he was about to argue with her when "Eye of the Tiger" started coming out of his pants pocket. He made an irritated sound and made a 'One Minute' motion before pulling his cell phone out and pressing it to his ear.
"Hello?" Snow White watched as his expression twist into a shocked and confused look "Is this...Gold?! How did you get this number?!...what?!...no, she's not here!...well she's probably still at the hospital with Ruby-hey, don't yell at me!...Regina broke her nose...I don't know how it happened, ask her!...then try again!...I'll tell her when I see her. Goodbye!"
Snow White frowned as he hung up, shaking his head "Uh...how does Rumplestiltskin have your number?"
James shrugged "How does that guy have anything? Now, back to Regina-"
But at that moment, Snow White's own cell started ringing and she quickly answered it.
"Hello?" Snow White pressed her phone to her ear. Then her eyebrows lifted up on her forehead "Look, Gold, she's not here!"

After finally arriving back at the College, Ruby excused her from cheerleading practice and Belle immediately went to Gene Glass' office. She didn't bother knocking on the door first and just stormed inside, marching up to the desk and slamming her hands down on the hard wood surface.
Gene, for his part, jumped in his seat, stunned and a little frightened by the angry display. His eyes growing in size when they saw Belle's nose.
"What happened to you?!"
"Regina Mills!" Belle roared in his face "She did this to me" she jabbed a finger at her bandaged nose "Because of what you printed in your damn paper! WHY Gene?! Why would you do that?!"
"I-I-I thought you wanted it in there!" Gene stammered, his back pressed hard against the back of his chair "Why did you leave it on my desk if you didn't?"
"What?!" Belle released the desk and stood up straight, staring at Gene "I never left anything on your desk!"
"Well, someone obviously did!" Gene protested, throwing his hands out to the side "And it had your name on it, so I put it in the paper!"
Belle was so stunned by his stupidity that she almost didn't know what to say "And it didn't occur to you that of you printed that, I might die?" she said.
"Well..."
"My God!" she slapped her palm against her forehead, shaking her head. She heard Gene apologise, and she sighed heavily "It's...O.k. Did you at least see who brought the article?"
Gene shook his head "No. It was there when I arrived"
"Right..." Belle nodded, and prepared to turn to leave, but then Gene called her back:
"Belle! Before you go..." she turned, and saw that he was looking at her a little fearfully "Uh...how does Rumplestiltskin Gold have my phone number?"
Oh Lord..."I don't know, Gene" she moaned. Christ, was he going to call everyone in College?!
"Yeah, he want's you to call him" he said as Belle took out her cell phone, finally doing what she should've done a while ago "By the way, he knows Regina beat the crap out of you"
"What?!" she yelped, butit was too late. She had already dialled the number, and now all she could do was walk out of Gene's office, lift the phone to her ear, and wait for Rumplestiltskin to ans-
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I'VE BEEN?!"
Belle winced at his yell. Yep, she was in trouble. Trying for an upbeat tone, she spoke to her furious love.
"Hey Rumple...uh...how're things?"

That night in the Darq House, Victor Whale walked in and collapsed on the black leather sofa in the lounge. He whipped his cell out and texted Gaston, telling him that he was sorry but he was too tired to come out tonight, he'd been working too hard in the Science labs. In front of him a group of boys played pool (Rothbart Blackwing vs John Prince, a blonde boy with a severe Mother Complex) they invited him to play-well, if you could call Blackwing yelling "Hey Whale, get your ass over here and play!" an invitation-but he declined, wanting nothing more than to just sit down and rest.
"Attention Darq House student body!"
Victor groaned. O.k, so there was no chance of that just yet. He lifted his head from the back of the black sofa and saw George Spencer stood in the centre of the lounge. He was the only one who did, as everyone else ignored him.
George's stance of authority didn't falter, but Victor did see the irritation that crossed his face. He spoke again, this time more loudly.
"Darq House student body! Your Student Body president demands your attention!"
Our what? That got everyone's attention, and everything stopped as every boy in the lounge turned to stare at George Spencer like he had lost his mind.
"The hell are you on about, Spencer?" asked Keith Not-in-Hell. The question came out incredibly rude, but George ignored it, a cocky grin on his face.
"Well, it may interest you all to know that, as our previous president has proved to be too inept for her post, I" he placed a hand on his chest "Am going to be taking over from her"
"WHAT?!" Victor yelped, and he wasn't the only one to call out in outrage:
"Are you kidding me?!"
"No way!"
"This has to be a joke!"
"Yeah, you suck, Spencer!"
"Enough!" George yelled at the top of his voice "Or I'll have you all put in detention!" when the lounge fell silent, a devilish grin spread across his face, and from his pocket he pulled out a roll of paper "Now, as my position as Student Body president becomes effective as of tomorrow, I have written out some changes for the way I will ensure the school is run" he unrolled the paper, and Victor stared in horror at what looked like a two foot long list!
"First of all: Student Tax. All live-in students will be required to pay a tax of exactly $50 directly to the Student Body President once a week-"
Rolling his eyes, Victor decided to end this madness "Hey Spencer!"
"Second of-What?!"
"Didn't you say that your 'Presidential Powers'" he air quoted the words "Don't come in until tomorrow?"
George frowned, still holding his list "Yeah. So?"
Victor tried not to grin "So, technically...you have no power over these guys" he spread his fingers out towards those who were still in the lounge, murderous looks on all their faces "To either punish or enforce anything for another...ten hours? At most?"
Apparently realising the same thing Victor had, George Spencer paled, and he slowly looked around the room to see the venomous expressions of all the boys he had just pissed off.
Then, they grinned.
"Oh damn" George whimpered.
"GET HIM!" someone roared, and Spencer squealed like a pig as he ran like hell out of the Darq House, at least fifteen guys running out after him, baying for his blood and calling out that he could run, but he couldn't hide!
Victor, meanwhile, stayed where he was, relishing in the silence that followed. Now, finally, he could just put his feet up on the black coffee table and relax-
"Hey Victor!"
"Bah!" Victor jumped a foot in the air and gripped his heart when out of nowhere, Jefferson Hatter jumped onto the couch and fell down next to him, his legs crossing and his arm falling over the back of the couch. A wide, amused grin adorned his face.
Victor stared at him, panting "God...Don't do that!"
Jefferson laughed "Sorry" he smirked, and then nodded at the door Spencer had just run shrieking out of "So what was Emperor Caligula blathering on about? Since when is he Student Body President?"
Victor raised a surprised eyebrow. Surely Jefferson knew about what happened with Relapse Mills. At least ten people of the Dame House had seen the state of Belle French and the story had spread like wildfire within the hour.
Victor would pity the beaten girl, but then again she had been stupid enough to write the column. What did she expect?
"Since Relapse Mills got the sack because the Dean thinks she's nuts" he told Jefferson, and a mean little chuckle came out of the Hatter's lips.
"Oh, really?" he said gleefully, and Victor nodded.
"Yeah! I think it was because-"
"Of a certain...newspaper article?" Jefferson offered, his voice smooth and sly. Victor shrugged.
"I guess that was part of it" he said, and then his forehead dented "It's weird, I always thought French was into that Inner Child's Soul, Hippy Dippy crap. You wouldn't think she'd would be the type to write anything gossipy"
A low chuckle filled the room, and it took Victor a moment to realise that it was coming from Jefferson, who looked happier than ever "Well, maybe that's because she didn't write it!"
Victor blinked at him. O.k, now he was confused "You what?"
Jefferson chuckled again, this one a little more manic. He dug into his school back and pulled out an A4 sheet of paper. Victor took it, and his eyes widened when he saw that it was a rough draft of the Daily Mirror's headlining article!
"It was me!" Jefferson gloated, smugness radiating from his lean body as he leaned back in his seat in satisfaction. Victor shook his head in confusion.
"But why?"
Jefferson shrugged "To show French and her little boyfriend exactly what I can do" he smirked.
"You did this to get back at French?!" Victor gasped, and Jefferson shook his head.
"No. I did this to teach Gold a lesson!"
"What?!"
"Victor, what do you think seducing Belle was all about?" he asked seriously, and this time it was Victor who shrugged.
"I don't know, uh...you like pretty girls?"
"That I do. But that wasn't the reason this time" Jefferson tutted, and then pointed a long finger at him "It was about getting to Gold. I figured it was time that, Fairytale College, needed a new Top Badass" he tugged on the edges of his coat, like a rich man standing over his estate "And who better than the man who stole-or framed- Rumplestiltskin's girl without getting caught?"
Victor stared at him in disbelief. He could barely believe what he was hearing. Granted, he himself was no saint, but even he knew where to draw the line!
"Jesus Chri-Jeff, you do know that Mills beat the crap out of her, right?!"
"That was the plan" Jefferson nodded.
"Enough to get her put in hospital?!" Victor yelled, and this time the Hatter's smug smirk froze on his face.
"She...what?"
"Yeah! She's in hospital now! Two of her friends had to take her there this afternoon!"
Victor felt a sense of grim satisfaction when Jefferson paled and fell silent. He knew that, in some ways, the Hatter could be just as bad as him (not that he was bad, just...misunderstood) but like Victor, he too had a small trace of conscience.
"Yeah, well..." Jefferson said unevenly, and he was no longer meeting Victors eyes "I can't control everything!"
And with that, he snatched the article out of Victors hand, jumped up from the couch, and walked out of the dorm.
"Hey, where're you going?!" Victor called after him. He didn't get a response.
So, what did we think? Thanks for the response I got on my last chapter by the way! 9 fantastic reviews! I REALLY wasn't expecting that! *Squee!*
Please review!
