The End is Only the Beginning

Everyone stared as Naruto finish his , I stood up seeing that the enemy was distracted. A confident grin was plastered on the new arrival's face. "Now that I'm here, everything will be fine," he stated. "Usually in this type of situation in the story, the main character shows up and kicks some major bad guy's ass!"

"He talks too much," I heard Sasuke grumble. Although I am happy to see Naruto, I have to agree with Sasuke on this on.

"Okay, here goes!" Naruto shouting, preparing to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but before he could complete it, Zabuza threw shuriken at him.

"N-Naruto! Move it!" I yelled in my mind, but he just stayed there with a scared look on his face! Suddenly I saw needles fly toward the shuriken knocking them to the ground. "Man, if he gets killed before saving us I'll..." I trailed off.

"Hey! What idiot would use a jutsu right in front of the enemy?" Kakashi yelled to Naruto. "The true ninja art is trickery—to fool the opponent! Even for just one jutsu, you must confuse the opponent, sneaking up from behind to catch them off guard. With the way you appeared, it's like you just showed up to be a target!"

"No way! I came to save..." Naruto began to shout.

"Sasuke?" I tried getting his attention with a low whisper.

"W-What?" he too was on his knees by now.

"You think you can hit Haku from here?" I asked.

"Why can't you do it?" he asked.

"Because... I don't have much practice with a kunai... I don't know how to throw it effectively," I answered.

"Figures..." I heard Sasuke muttered. Ungrateful little brat!

"You're as soft as always..." I heard Zabuza say.

"I'm sorry," Haku said.

"Zabuza's right... if he really wanted to kill us," I thought. "Sasuke and I would be dead right now! Those hits he was giving us earlier, hurtful they were, but not fatal. If Haku could put Zabuza in a near-death state then, he could kill with a wave of his hand. Is he not going to-"

"Well then, I'll just have to defeat you first!" Naruto's shout snapped me out of my thoughts. "So, you were Zabuza's friend. How dare you trick us?"

"Sorry, but as your sensei said, tricking your opponent is the true art of the shinobi," Haku said. "Don't hate me for it." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sasuke with a kunai in his hand. He was about to attack! He finally threw his kunai, but Haku dodged it by just moving back. "I haven't forgotten about you two," he said. I cringed, thinking about what type of retaliation he had in store for us.

"Good going, Sasuke!" I yelled, glaring at him. He glared right back at me.

"You're the one suggested it to me!" Sasuke retorted.

"Oh yeah..."

"Idiot!" he grumbled.

"I'd like it if you'd just stay down," Haku said, looking directly at us. "But it looks like that's not going to happen. Fine then, let's finish things between us first."

"Nah, you can fight Naruto first!" I said. "I have no problem with waiting. It's not like I'm going anywhere!"

"No, I think I'll fight you first," Haku said walking to one of the mirrors… Damn it.

"Hey!" Naruto shouted, getting the enemy's attention. He actually stopped. I'll never under the laws and rules of Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, we'll settle things later," Haku said, and then he molded with the ice mirror he was in front of.

"Here he comes...!" I muttered. I saw Sasuke looking at the other mirrors, which Haku had not appeared in yet; Sasuke was going for a weapon...

"Over here," I heard Haku's voice behind us! He had disappeared from the mirror in front of us.

"That is fast!" I thought, slowly turning around along with Sasuke. Haku replicas suddenly began to appear in the mirrors and he looked ready to attack! Suddenly, I feel my body being attacked again with more needles. I tried to protect myself, but it was of little use. I was thrown back by the oncoming needles.

"SAKURA-CHAN! SASUKE!" I heard Naruto shout. Man, I am in pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!

"Sasuke!" I said struggling to get up; he was, too. "He's moving so fast... that we can't even see him moving!"

"What?" he said. "That's impossible!"

"The mirrors... he's using them for transport," I said, holding my leg, which was throbbing.

"I'm surprised you figured that," Sasuke said. I decided to ignore that smartass remark in favor of thinking of our lives, which were on the line. Did he really need to make that comment in this situation? Until the day he dies, he'll be a pain in my ass, I'm sure.

"Our only shot is for Naruto to attack the outside... while we attack the inside," I whispered softly so that Haku couldn't hear.

"You're right," Sasuke said. "That would be a good plan."

"HEY!" a voice startled me so much that I fell back in shock. "I came to save you!"

"N-N-Naruto!" I shouted.

"Are you okay, Sakura-chan, Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"You total moron!" Sasuke and I shouted at the same time... weird."If you're a shinobi, then move more carefully!" Sasuke finished.

"What did you say?" Naruto shouted back. "I came to save you guys and this is what I get?"

"W-Why did you come inside the mirrors?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, it doesn't help if we all are trapped!" I shouted, shaking Naruto like crazy!

It's just I really wanted to get out of here and Naruto screwed that up for me! "Damn it! I don't care anymore. You're an idiot!" Sasuke said, looking away.

"Idiot? How dare you call me an idiot, you idiot!" Naruto shouted once I had stopped shaking him. Sasuke stood up and looked at all the mirrors.

"All right then, I'll just bust these mirrors!" he said and then did some hand signs. "Fire Element!"

"Hey, what'cha gonna do?" Naruto asked.

"These mirrors are made of ice, so..." Sasuke said. "GRAND FIREBALL JUTSU!" A giant ball of fire suddenly came out of Sasuke's mouth. Well, it looked like it came from his mouth. It went straight towards two of Haku's mirrors. Yet, when the fire cleared the mirrors were nowhere near melted.

"It didn't do anything at all!" Naruto shouted.

"You can't melt this ice with fire of that power level," Haku said.

"Well, at least you made it a little warmer in here," I remarked. Sasuke didn't like that statement, and so he glared at me. If we make it out of this alive, I'm going to beat that glare out of him. Haku looked as if he was about to strike! And his ice mirrors glowed. That's when I felt even more pain hit my body, knocking me off my feet! "AAHHH!" I screamed, I heard Sasuke and Naruto yell... They know they wanted to scream, too!

"Damn, where is he attacking from?" Naruto said, sitting up. "Is he using clones?" He stood up and looked around. "Where's the real one?"

"Trying to follow me with your eyes is useless," Haku said. "You will never be able to catch me."

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto shouted.

"No, don't!" Sasuke yelled but it was too late. Naruto had created the clones and they were all about to attack the mirrors.

"I'll find the real one by crushing them all!" Naruto yelled. But before the Naruto clones could attack, I saw a blur zipping past all of the clones, going in and out of the mirrors!

One by one, the Naruto clones disappeared and the real Naruto came crashing down to Earth, right by Sasuke and I. "This jutsu uses the mirrors' reflections to transport me," Haku informed us. "From my point of view, you guys seem to be moving in slow motion."

"Damn it! So what? I can't die here!" Naruto said. "I have a dream I must fulfill... The dreams to have everyone acknowledge my strength! And the dream to become Hokage!"

"He's right! We all have dreams!" I said struggling to stand. "I, too, have a dream... and I can't let you kill it!" And I am not talking about that one with Sasuke!

"Dream...?" I heard Haku whisper. Man, I can hear a lot of things in this world. "Becoming a true shinobi is difficult for me... If possible, I don't want to have to kill you. Nor want you to have to kill me. But if you come at me... I can destroy my kind heart with a blade, and become a true shinobi. This bridge is the place where we fight... to connect our dreams. Me, for my dream, and you, for your dreams. Please don't hate me."

That's kinda hard to do since... YOU'RE THROWING VERY SHARP NEEDLES AT ME!

"I want to protect someone precious to me... to work for that person, to fight for that person, to make that person's dream come true," Haku continued. "That is my dream. For that, I can become a shinobi. I will kill you!" he finished holding up three needles. For some reason, Haku's words caused my idiot teammates to smirk. Do they not realize that this person threatened us and is going to follow through with killing us? I mentally shook my head. As I said before, this world's rules will never be understood by me.

Haku didn't make a move for a while. What was he waiting for? "For us to make an attack first?" I thought.

"Just because I screwed up the first time doesn't mean I'm going to quit," Naruto said. We were all standing by now. "I'll try as many times as I need to! Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Stop it!" Sasuke shouted, but he had already completed the jutsu. Again the clones tried to attack and yet again Haku did the same thing he had done before.

But this time I saw Haku stop and prepared to attack both me and Sasuke with more needles! "Why me?" I thought as I felt the many needles pierced my skin. I cried out again in pain. I opened my eyes when the needles stopped coming and saw that there was only one Naruto.

"What the hell...!" he yelled. "One more time...! Shadow Clone Jutsu!" When the clones appeared, Sasuke kicked up some water...?

"What is he thinking?" I thought as Naruto's attack failed again.

The needle attack hit me again and again making me fall again. I struggled to get up again as I glared at Naruto's body. "I wish he would stop doing that!" I thought, groaning a little. "I'm already in pain!" Naruto got up again and used his favorite technique! "Oh man, more pain!" I closed my eyes and waiting for the needles... a full minute went by but still no needles. I opened my eyes slowly just in time to see Naruto fall to the ground again. Haku was already safely back inside the mirrors. "What just happened?" I asked.

"I got him," Sasuke said smirking. "It was only his clothes, but I'm getting the timing down." I looked at Haku's clothes and noticed the bottom of his pants was a little burnt.

"Damn it, we were so close," Naruto said.

"Naruto, can you still move?" Sasuke asked.

"Of course I can! I'm still okay!" Naruto said. Sasuke looked back at Haku with a thinking look on his face.

"You wanna fill me in Sasuke?" I asked. He didn't even spare me a glance. "Stupid, stuck up, brat!" I thought darkly. Suddenly, the ice mirrors began to glow and Sasuke started to perform hand signs.

"Naruto! Ma—Sakura! Run!" Sasuke said. "Go out of here and attack from the outside!"

"O-Okay!" He didn't have to tell me us twice. The two of us ran towards one of the cracks. Naruto was in front of me, while I willed him to move faster from behind.

"Will you be able to?" Haku's voice rang in my ear.

"Oh crap!" I thought. "I don't think we're going to make it!"

Naruto didn't look like he was about to speed up anytime soon either! "Okay! Speed! Speed! Come on, Sakura! I need your speed!" I thought. Luckily, I got my wish. A giant boost of chakra increased my speed. It was such a big burst that I had tackled Naruto's side, pushing him out of the cage. But before I could leave too, I felt sharp needles in my legs making me fall back. "OW! That really hurt!" I thought.

"AHHH!" I heard Sasuke yell. I turn my head slightly to see him holding his shoulder a needle was sticking out of him.

"S-Sasuke," I managed to get out.

"May—Sakura...! What are you still doing here?" I saw him pull out the needle.

"Well, I would have if Naruto hadn't been going so slow!" I muttered. I stood and pulled out the needles in my legs. "Hurt and pain! Hurt and pain!" I thought as I went over to Sasuke. "Got any more bright ideas?" I said.

"You seem to be the smart one on the group..." Haku's voice got my attention. "I can't let you get anymore bright plans... it will slow down my victory."

Suddenly, Haku starting attacking only Sasuke with needles! The needles stuck out of his body as he fell to the floor. "Sasuke!" I said but a needle stabbed me in my hand when I tried to reach him. "OW!" I screamed. I glared at one of the mirrors as I pulled the needle out. This was not going to help my phobia of bees.

"Do not interfere," Haku said, and then he kept attacking Sasuke making him actually cry out in pain.

"Sasuke...!" I yelled. "He's getting badly hurt!" I thought. "Where is Naruto?" I looked at to see Naruto's unmoving body outside the ice crystal. "I guess I pushed him too hard..." My eyes turned back to Sasuke. He was still screaming out loud. My bleeding hand grabbed the fabric covering my chest. It had become tight and very hard to breathe. "What should I do?" I asked myself. "I... don't think I can... Sasuke's hurt... Naruto's unconscious... how do you get unconscious from a push, anyway?" I squeezed my eyes shut. I can't do anything in this situation. I can't save us! I'm useless. Tears managed to squeeze out of my eyes. We're all going to die here and it's my entire fault for interfering in the first place. I'm too weak. I'm too useless. I can't do anything.

It felt as though my body was beginning to shut down. My legs tremble about to give out. I grabbed my head. It was hurting. This was stress wasn't it? This amount of stress had never been felt before, so naturally I freaked out about it. My neck stretched up and a massive scream escaped my mouth. I didn't want to die… I didn't want them to die either. "NO! It can't end like this!" My mind suddenly went blank. My body went limp, yet I did not fall.

I breathed out, lowering my head and extended my arms. "What is this?" My mind whispered as I slowly continued with the hand motions. I stopped on the ram sign. Of its own accord, my mouth opened. "Ishikari Style: Mind Transfer Jutsu!"

Feeling as light as a feather, I felt as though I was soaring. The rush that swept over me was so… right. In the next moment, I found myself staring at my body. Well, Sakura's body, of course. Her body slowly stood and looked around frantically. "What did you do?" Haku's voice came from Sakura's mouth.

"How did he get there?" I asked myself. "How did I get here?" Without warning, the crystal mirrors turned back to water. I dropped down to the ground. Green eyes zoned in on me. They were giving off a very confused vibe. Before I could do much of anything, I felt that rush again. Once more, I found myself staring at Haku. "I'm back in Sakura's body!"

"What did you do to my body?" Haku asked. I decided to ignore him. Not just because I don't know what the hell just happened, but because I wanted to use this as an opportunity get out of this situation. My fingers latched onto Sasuke, and then dragged him away from the dangerous opponent. Of course, Sasuke screamed. Stupid bird brain couldn't take that I was pulling his hair. Annoyed, I released him. His head dropped to the ground. I winced, hearing the sound of the impact. It didn't sound like it felt good.

"M-M-Mayu, h-how did you do that?" He sat up with a glare as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I don't know, but can we talk about this later when we're not in danger?" I could tell that I was still shaken up about this whole life and death situation. Sasuke didn't seem to understand that this was not what I signed up for when I tried to save him.

"Where did Naruto go? He was supposed to attack the outside!" Sasuke said. I cringed again.

"Uh… my bad… I hit him too hard, so he's kinda knocked-" I never got to finish because I felt needles go into my back shoulder! I screamed out. The pain was ten times more excruciating than the other times. I began falling forward. I managed to catch myself somewhat, only falling to my knees.

"Mayu!" I heard Sasuke call to me. I even noticed his hand reaching out, but that's when I felt a sing needle pierce my skin—at the base of my neck. A painful cough came out, and so did blood. And then nothing. I almost didn't realize that I have fallen to the ground. "You bastard!"

"S-Sasuke..." I wheezed. All the screaming I had been doing had finally taken its toll.

"Mayu…" I didn't feel it, but I was suddenly looking up at Sasuke. He looked, oddly… afraid. "Mayu... Mayu, don't you die! Don't you dare die right now!" Despite the situation, and the feeling of my body weakening, I chuckled. This was so weird that I couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you so concerned?" I asked. My eyelids lowered. It was getting extremely hard to keep them open. "I don't matter to you, na, Sasuke?" I managed a genuine smile. "Still, it was… fun."

"Shut up… Shut up! Don't talk like that."

"I'm not going to die, idiot," I murmured. My eyes closed. I was too tired to keep trying. "The heroine never… dies… this soon…"

"Mayu! Mayu, stay with me!" Sasuke's demands were becoming fainter. I think he might have shaken me, but I couldn't be certain. "Mayu... no... Not you, too." I wonder what he meant by 'too.' I opened my mouth to question, but talking had become tiring as well. "Don't talk—save your strength." Forcing myself, I cracked an eye open.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know you cared," I whispered.

"I don't... idiot," Sasuke said.

"Whatever... bird brain." My vision became blurry—too blurry to see what was happening. And then, it dimmed, eventually fading to black. "Stupid eyes..." After that, I could no longer see or hear anything at all.

Slowly, I breathed out. I could hear my heart beating at a slow pace. It was odd considering I had only heard it when practicing. My eyes opened, and almost immediately closed because of the brightness of the room. "Why is it so white?" I hissed in my mind. My throat felt really hoarse, so it's not like I could talk. Also, there was this disgusting taste in my mouth. It tasted as though I hadn't brushed in years! It was awful. I almost gagged. It felt gooey in my mouth. That couldn't be healthy at all.

I coughed out because I had made the mistake of using my tongue to get rid of the feeling in my mouth. It didn't work out. However, my actions must have alerted whoever was in the room because all of a sudden my name is being screeched into my ear. It was not a pleasant experience. Once the dizziness went away, I felt the arms around me, hugging me fiercely. "Dad, I'm gonna die!" If I could roll my eyes at that moment, then I would. Seriously, how can hugs be unique to one person only? Only Ishikari Chinoutori could bring make her feel this way. Wait… "Dad?" The person let go of me, giving me a chance to clear my eyes, and then focus. As I thought, my father stood at the side of my bed, looking as though he might shed tears.

"Mayu-chan…!" The familiar expression of adoration from my father made me smile. It was good to see him again. He moved in for another hug. After biting his shoulder—my usual way of getting out of his affectionate hug—I rubbed my head. "Does your head hu-" He was interrupted by the door slamming open. Both of us flinched at the noise. I looked over to see Ishikari Sheena standing in the doorway. She looked as strong and cool as always. "Honey, Mayu-chan is-" He was quickly shoved out of the way by my mother.

This is the result of two doting parents.

However, my mother's not usually like this. That concerned gentle face was not something a loved one would see too often. Then again, I'm not usually in hospitals. Wait, why was in the hospital in the first place? Before I could ask, my mother grabbed my head, crushing my forehead against her large bosom. She knows I hate it when she does this! How can I breathe with her huge ta-tas in my face? Finally, she released me, and then unceremoniously knocked me over the head. I can so feel the love, mom, thanks. She gripped my shoulders, ignoring my father's cries of 'Honey!' "Do you know how worried I was?" Her volume increased with each word she spoke. "Jesus, it's been almost two weeks! Do you know how much your hospital bill is going to be?!" She said that last bit in English. She only speaks her native language when she's really upset.

"Two weeks?" I actually matched her volume. "What the hell happened to me!"

"Don't cuss in front of me!" My mother held up a threatening fist, causing me to shy away. My mom spoiled me, but she was violent. How the hell did my father put up with such a brash women? And the rest of my family for that matter? I kinda wish I knew the story of how the hell they got together, and having my father's family accept a foreigner, too.

Speaking of my father, he popped up behind my mom. "You don't remember?" he asked. I have him a look that said 'Duh!' "You ran into a car." Hahahahahaha! I could have sworn my dad said I ran into a car. Ha! My dad does have his funny moments. "I'm serious, Mayu-chan. You ran into a stopped car. Like Shee-chan said, it's been about two weeks."

"But what about…? Naruto… and Sasuke… I was with them!" I don't know why I let that come out of my mouth. Obviously it was a dream. However, instead of looking at me like I was crazy, my parents seemed alarmed. They then exchanged a look that I couldn't read. That was a strange reaction…

"When you wake up…" mother began. "The doctor said that when you wake up you would be able to attend your classes after three days. Isn't that great, Mayu?" Was she changing the subject?

"Ah, I see… Hey, mom-"

"MAYU!" My head snapped towards the door. Ignoring the aching of my neck, I grinned. My three best friends were making their way over to my hospital bed. They had distracted me from questioning my parents' shift in behavior.

"Guys…!" I greeted.

"How's the head? I can't believe you ran into a car." He laughed and pointed a finger; no doubt he's wanted to do that for quite some time. Ichiro was the joker of the group. I stuck my tongue out.

"It doesn't count if I can't remember!"

"I saw the whole thing!" Megumi chirped, flashing a smirk. She was the smartest—academic wise of course. "You ran after some guy after he refused to apologize for running over Ichiro-kun's bike. But the car he was driving stopped, and you didn't."

"It was like BOOM—down!" Ichiro remarked, causing me to glower.

"Are you alright?" Kyoko questioned. She, being thirteen, while the rest of us were twelve, was the big sister of our little group of friends.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" I grinned and clapped my hands. "You won't believe the dream I had!" With eager eyes, my friends came closer. I then began the tale, starting from me waking up in Sakura's body. As I told the story, my friends' faces were amazed. It was pretty amazing that I could dream so vividly. However, I decided to leave out the dream sequence about that whole marrying Sasuke thing. That was not important! And Ichiro was bound to tease me, and call me a rapid fangirl in the future, so I definitely wasn't going to mention that. "And the next thing I know, I'm waking up with a horrible taste in my mouth," I finished. "By the way, can I have some toothpaste?"

"Yeah, your breath is really rancid," Megumi commented.

"If I knew what they meant, I would hurt you!" I threatened.

"Teh, you always get the cool dreams!" Ichiro crossed his arms. "I wish it was me, so that I could cuddle with Hinata-chan!" My friend blushed, causing me to roll my eyes. He had the biggest crush on the pretty girl. Then the doctor came into the room, along with my parents. I hadn't even noticed that they had left.

"Mayu-chan, you need your rest," father stated. "Your friends will have to go." I opened my mouth to protest. They had only just gotten here! "No buts! Now sleepy time now!"

"Aww…" I turned to my friends, waving them off. They shrugged their shoulders, and then moved to leave. I lied back down and closed my eyes. That's when a horrible thought sudden stuck me. "NOOOOOOOOO!" I sat up screaming. This, of course, alerted the ones who were about to leave my room.

"What's the matter?" mother asked.

"Are you hurt?" father questioned. I shook my head several times.

"I didn't get to see Panda-chan…!" I wailed out.

"Who?" the doctor blinked, confused. Ichiro sighed. Megumi and Kyoko shook their heads.

"That's who she calls her favorite anime character," Kyoko informed them.

My mother hit me upside the head again.

Voices had made me rise from my slumber. It was such a nice dream, too. Finally, I had ended up in a Martial Arts tournament. I had kicked every opponent, and was just about to receive the award! However, just before I named international champion, I was rudely awakened. Shame… I opened my eyes, noticing that it was night. I had turned over to my side while I had slept. It was dark in the hospital room, so why were people talking in the first place? Then I heard my name. The voice that had said it belonged to my mother. "Are you sure it's her? Absolutely sure it's Mayu?" Her voice was whispering, but she must have been close to the bed.

"You heard what she said during her story!" It was father's voice. My parents must have been talking. But I was confused on what they were talking about. "She knew the technique, and carried it out!"

"Tori-kun…" My mother actually whimpered. That was more than a little strange. What the hell is going on?

"Our first clue was how she born, Shee-chan, and how she doesn't have our eyes…" My father sounded frustrated. "We… We both knew this confirmation would come someday. I have to tell the elders."

"But we don't know for sure! Mayu is my child! She and this Mayuka have nothing to do with each together!"

Eh…?

"Sheena!" This was the first time I heard my father raise his voice to my mother. It was also the first time my mother didn't argue. "You know it's true… Mayu is the one." He voice became softer. "Mayu is actually our-"

Of course my big fat mouth had to go and yawn.

Acting quickly, I stretched, pretending that I had just woken up. I turned over to see my father and mother sitting at my bedside. My mother's eyes were adverted. My father didn't look my different. "You didn't go home…?" I feigned another yawn, hoping it was convincing.

"Ah… No, we didn't. Other things needed to be discussed with your doctor."

"Oh, like when I'll be discharge?" I asked.

"Yes, if we're lucky, tomorrow you'll come home," my mother sighed… in relief?

"Okay, okay… Well, I'm off to dreamland again. Goodnight, mom, dad," I pulled the covers over my chest, and then turned over. However, my eyes didn't shut. I couldn't help but wonder about that strange conversation. "What was that about?" I thought. "Who's Mayuka? And eyes…?" My eyes are blue. Naturally, I assumed that it was a recessive gene in the Ishikari family and my mother's family, so I ended up with them. But it seemed like my father was not talking about color when he said eyes. "I don't understand…" My eyelids lowered completely. Meh, there would be plenty of time to think once I get some more sleep. Besides, there were more important things to think about—like becoming international champion of the world.

Well that was an exciting adventure! I guess my life will return to normal now that I'm out of the hospital! But what were my parents talking about? That was too strange! Hey, wait a minute! I'm back... in Naruto's world! Yes! I actually went back! Mega cool! I can't wait to see everyone in person again! Sasuke, prepare to have your butt handed to you because I'm about to kick it right off!

NEXT TIME:
My Life as Hyuga Hinata

Wait a minute! Rewind that! 'My Life as Hyuga Hinata?' What? Not again! Why can't I have my own body? This is so screwed up! What...? This is the chuunin exams? YAY! I get to show what I've learned since I've been in my world! PANDA-CHAN! Panda-chan is gonna be there! Oh, man! I can't wait!
