The Past

Noire's p.o.v.

I was sitting in the living room reading a book about a man who was turned into a beast and met a fair maiden, Beauty and the Beast. "Noire?" I looked up and saw my mom and Natalie walk into the room.

"Mommy!" I stood up quickly and rushed over to her. "Aunt Natalie! What are you doing here? Is something going on? Today isn't important is it?"

"Noire," my mom kneeled down to my level and held my shoulders, "go get dressed for public ok? You can't keep running around in just a t-shirt and boxers."

"But I like my boxers. They feel better and you can move more!" My mom sighed and Aunt Natalie stifled a laugh.

"Just go get dressed. Actually, even better! Natalie! Go play dress up with Noire for me please!" Natalie squealed and picked me up running with me to my room.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!? AUNT NATALIE STOP RUNNING!" Natalie laughed and sat me down on my bed and went to my closet. I stood up slowly and started sneaking towards the door. I'm gonna get away! There is no way they are putting a dress on me!

"And where are you going Noire?" Natalie turned around with a white dress with flowers on it. Oh no! Not that one! GRAB THE BLACK ONE WITH THE WHITE LACE! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!? Flowers will look weird on me! They belong in the dirt not on dresses.

"Nooo where." I tensed up as she pulled me towards her.

"You really don't like dresses."

"You can't make me wear one!"

"Not even for your favorite person?"

"That's not fair! Aunt Natalie, don't make me wear a dress please! I won't be able to be amazing in one! I have no practice with anything that isn't boots, tennis shoes, or flats!"

"Oh? Is that so? Megan! WHY HAVEN'T YOU TAUGHT THIS POOR CHILD ABOUT HEELS?!?"

"I've been busy! I'm the one who cooks the food around here most of the time! Except for when Noire beats me to it!"

"OH? WELL START SENDING HER OVER TO ME FOR THE WEEKENDS!"

"SHE'S MY NOIRE!"

"STOP FIGHTING OVER ME! I'm both of your Noire!" I smiled sweetly as my mom entered the room and she paused.

"Awww! Go ahead and let her wear her jeans. She shouldn't have to wear a dress if she doesn't want to."

"But what about Lord De-"

"Shhhh! She doesn't know about him yet!"

"Who? Mommy? .....Who's this Lord?"

"Don't worry about it baby. Just get dressed for mommy and Natalie!"

"Ok Mommy!" I ran over to my closet and grabbed my favorite pair of jeans and a random plain t-shirt. After I put it on, my mom rushed us out to the car and we drove around town to this really big place. Holy crap what is this? The stairs reaching up to the building seemed to go on for infinity and you could barely see what was at the top. We walked up the stairs (I got amazing piggy back rides! All the way up too!), and walked into the building as I squeezed my mom's hand and Natalie's.

"This is DWMA Noire. Can you guess what it stands for?" My mom looked down at me smiling.

"DWMA? What's that?" She sighed.

"Not gonna take a guess then?"

"No." I smiled innocently up at my mom.

"Death Weapon Meister Academy."

"That's a mouthful." I laughed. "The stairs are overkill. I give this place the title of 'Death Trap'." Natalie busted out laughing. "Why's it funny?" I looked at Natalie but she patted my head and ruffled my hair.

"You'll see soon enough."

"Can we get ice cream after this?" I asked.

"Sure. Why not?" My mom said. Mom stopped in front of a door. Avery weird door. She knocked on it. "Lord Death? It's Megan and Natalie. Can we come in please?"

"YA! COME IN, COME IN!" I heard a creepy voice say on the other side. I paled and squeezed their hands harder.

"Mommy? Can we go home? I don't like it here...."

"Nope." The door swung open without anyone touching it. I gasped and stared at my mom wide eyed.

"Megan and Natalie, so nice to see you. Come on in I am just having lunch with my children. Who is that little girl I see? OH MY! A CHILD! Which one does she belong to? Come on don't be afraid!" I stared at the guy who wore a black clock and a comical skull mask. OH MY GOSH HE'S SCARY! I whimpered and hid behind my mom and Natalie winced looking from me to the guy.

"LOOK KID IT IS PEOPLE! I NEVER SEEN PEOPLE BESIDES DADDY, THAT RED HEADED GUY AND MOMMY!" I heard a girl point out us.

"Wow, you really don't get out much. Daddy how come she don't get out much but I do?"

"Because you have weapons and she don't, plus she is my baby girl so I want her safe locked up at home in the tower!"

"OH MY GOSH! YOU KNOW THE STORY OF RAPUNZEL?" I stepped out from behind mommy and looked at the guy but still held her hand.

"Rapunzel is my hero!" The young girl yelled and waved towards me and tugged the other look alike with her towards me. I backed up a little and stepped behind mommy again. Too many people.

"Daddy why is she hiding?"

"Do you seriously don't know Fade? She is scared of us...well mostly you."

"Kid! That was mean of you! Get back over here and sit down the both of you. Fade please don't scare the girl, and Kid don't say mean things like that to your sister! Gosh....I need to get a wife."

"Seems you have you hands full." My mom said laughing at this like it was normal. HOW IS THIS NORMAL?

"Sowwie daddy that I scared the girl."

"Sorry Fade for saying mean things to you!"

"AHHHH HE'S TOUCHING ME, DADDY! GET HIM OFF HES HUGGING ME! HE IS SCARING ME, HE NEVER HUGS ME! AH HE IS SHOWING OFF BECAUSE A GIRL IS HERE!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"LIAR!"

"NO YOUR THE LIAR!"

"Hey! You too like cookies right?" My mom asked pulling out a bag full of chocolate chip cookies she made.

"YES!" The two of them said at once.

"Well here, but you must SHARE THEM." My mom handed the cookies over to the twins.

"YUMMY! KID LET'S GO SHARE THEM! YOU TOO NEW GIRL!"

"Wh-what is going on? WHY AM I HERE MOM!??" I looked up at mommy alarmed by everything.

"Don't ask me ask Natalie." I looked over at Natalie.

"Don't ask me ask Megan!"

"SOMEBODY ANSWER ME PLEASE!" I glared at both of them. My mom cringed and Natalie winced.

"If looks could kill...." Natalie said.

"We'd be dead." My mom finished.

"Hey Megan are you going to unretired?"

"COOKIES! DADDY CAN YOU GET THE RED HEAD TO GET ME MILK?" I heard one of the twins ask.

"Yes pumpkin!"

"YAY!"

"SPIRIT! FADE NEEDS MILK, PLEASE GET HER SOME!"

"Me to daddy!"

"KID AS WELL!"

"Yeah okay, as long as I am not babysitting them I will be fine." A red headed guy walked past us and out of the room.

"So anyways Lord Death. No, I'm still retired. So is Natalie. Ummm.... Where did she go?" She turned around in a circle then spotted me watching the red head leave. "Noire? Can you come here for mommy?" I turned around and looked at her.

"Why?" I tilted my head and walked over to her. She grabbed my shoulders and put me in front of her.

"This is my little Noire. Noire, this is Lord Death. Say hi." My eyes widened. Mommy nudged me.

"H-hi.....Lord Death....." I stared at him scared.

"HELLO! It is so very nice to meet you Noire!"

"Eeek! Mommy!!!!!!" I tried to hide behind her again but she held me in place.

"No, I got you here and you are staying here."

"IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU NOIRE!" One of the twins walked up to me and held their hand out shaking mine. "I AM FADE! THAT IS MY TWIN OVER THERE, HIS NAME IS KID!" She looked up at my mommy. "Can Noire come play with Kid and I?"

"Sure, I need to talk to your father about something anyways." She pushed me towards Fade slightly.

"W-what's going on? I feel like I just got sold to someone....." I stared at my mom as she, Natalie and Lord Death started talking quietly. I looked over at Fade and Kid and sighed. It's better than being bored.

"Do you want a cookie?"

"HEY NOIRE GUESS WHO IS WHO!"

"I KNOW THIS GAME! It's like the which one is Hikaru game! Ummmm..... I'm guessing Kid offered the cookie and you wanted to play this game Fade." I sat down and took a cookie from the twin.

"You got it right!" She cheered and sat by me and Kid sat on the other side.

"So Noire! Do you like cookies to? Where are you from? Are you a meister to?"

"Huuuuuuh? What the heck are you talking about? I was born here in Death City...." I munched on my cookie.

"So were we!" Fade told me.

"Sorry, Fade get's excited meeting new people!"

"So do you Kid!"

"Not as bad as you!"

"Oh my gosh you two..... no words can express this...." I stared at them and continued munching on my cookie.

"Noire, why are you here today?"

"I dunno. My mom and Aunt Natalie won't tell me. I'm supposed to be at school.... I'm missing recess with my friend today." I grumbled.

"Oh that's so cool! You have recess? We don't have that here! We do get snack breaks like every five minutes. Our daddy is a good teacher!"

"He don't teach us anything important, really."

"Cause were only eleven Kid!"

"I'm ten! So we are about the same age then?"

"We just turned eleven!" Kid explained.

"Oh? I'm going to be eleven soon...." I smiled at him and continued my cookie.

"Want another cookie!"

"I know I do! Quit hogging them Kid!"

"Mommy said SHARE! You've gotta share." I stared at him.

"You should come over and bake cookies with me!" Fade cheered.

"Fine I will share." He handed the bag over and the red headed guy held out a tray with three milk cartons on it.

"Here you go girls, hope you enjoy! I got one for you to Noire incase you wanted one."

"I AM NOT A GIRL!"

"Oh...my bad! Stein!!!!!! Their scaring me!!!!!" I stood up and gave the strange red headed man a hug.

"It's ok. I know they are scary too." I smiled up at him.

"Awe your so cute!"

"I am not scary!" Fade grabbed a milk carton and opened it then started to dunk her cookie into the milk, "Yummy!"

"OH MY! That is curious...." Lord Death said. "We need to find a way to see if she is a weapon or a meister! I really need to make some law... No! That would be sad for Stein and Spirit."

"I don't know what to do about it. All the other weapon children her age have transformed in some way that let their parents know, but nada from Noire. Zip." My mom said. What are they talking about?

"That is strange indeed."

"DADDY! SHE DONT KNOW IF SHE IS A MEISTER OR A WEAPON?" I heard Kid yell over me.

"OHHH! MAYBE WE CAN HELP HER!" Fade suggested.

"What is going on here....." I muttered watching everyone and trying to edge away.

"Don't be afraid Noire, you just have yet to find out if you are a meister like Kid and I or a weapon like your mommy or Mr. red head here."

"Huh?" I stared at them blankly. My mom sighed and whispered something to Natalie. Natalie nodded.

"Lord Death.... We are gonna show her. She wasn't really shown this before. Her mom retired shortly after she was born." Natalie told Lord Death. My mom smiled at me.

"Ok, listen up Noire. There are 3 or rather 4 basic types of people. One is called a Meister like Natalie who wields the second type called weapons. The other two are normal humans and if you want to put Kishins or Kishin eggs into their own little group, they'd be number 4." I watched as my mom nodded to Natalie and transformed into a dagger.

"Wha....." I stared at my mom and Natalie with my mouth hanging open.

"Oh so cool! She is a dagger!" Fade pointed out. "So Noire! Do you think you are a weapon, pretty cool right! Hey red head, you transform to!"

"But I don't like touching the ground! Lord Death would have to catch me!" Spirit looked at Fade paling.

"Please do it for Noire? It might help her!"

"Fine. Lord Death are you ok with it?"

"If it helps Noire then yes."

"Ok! NO LAUGHING AT ME." Spirit transformed into a scythe and Lord Death caught him before he hit the ground. I paled. He looks even more scarier now..... I wanted to cry and go to mommy but she was that weird little dagger thingy.

"So what do you think Noire?"

"He's scary....."

"Daddy wouldn't hurt you though!"

"But he's still.... scary....." I walked over to Fade and grabbed her hand to nervous not to.

"I know, he can be scary at times! So cool right/"

"If you say so...." I watched as my mom transformed back and crossed her arms watching me.

"I think your mom looked cool! I never seen a dagger before!"

"Y-yeah!" I smiled at my mom and ran over to her giving her a hug and abandoned Fade.

"Awe she left me!"

"So Noire, I think you should come join DWMA it might help you find out who you are."

"YAY! I WOULD GET TO SEE HER EVERYDAY!"

"W-what?!? I already have a school though! Right mommy?" I looked up at mommy smiling.

"Sweetie, that school was temporary from the beginning."

"W-what?" I started crying. "But my friends are there! THE SCHOOL COUNCILOR FORCED ME TO GET ONE FRIEND AFTER DADDY DIED, BUT NOOOO! YOU ARE GONNA TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM! MY ONLY FRIEND!YOUR SO MEAN TO ME!"

"BUT YOU GET TO BE WITH ME! ISNT THAT COOL ENOUGH FOR YOU?" Fade asked me. I glared at my mom.

"MEANIE! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL ADRAIN?!? HE'S BEEN THE ONLY ONE MY AGE WHO EVER EVEN TRIED TO CHEER ME UP WHEN I GET SAD! AND HE'S ALWAYS VISITING ME! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM?!? SURE I MAY SEEM LIKE I DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO HIM BUT I DO! I REALLY DO!"

"Noire.... calm down. You-"

"NO!" I tore myself away from her and crossed my arms. "HE'S MY FRIEND!"

"Noire." she had that warning tone but I ignored it. I walked over to the other side of the room and sat down with my back to her and stared at the wall pissed.

"Noire, please come join DWMA? You will get to see me everyday! Kid to!" Fade walked over to me and sat down by me. "I really like you, you are pretty! I want your hair! I got stuck with this asymmetrical mess on my hair! It looks funny! Don't it?" I looked at her and giggled.

"A little."

"So be my friend! We can hang out everyday! Dad cant deny me from seeing you cause your a friend! Plus you need help and I want to help. Your eyes are pretty to and I like your shoes!"

"Well, your eyes are pretty too! Very interesting." I smiled at her and then realized the whole room had gone silent besides us.

"No, their like my brothers. Yellow and ugly."

"HEY!"

"Yep, like your hair! Their yellow like your hair...guess they are pretty! Hey! you still need to come over and bake cookies with me, okay!"

"When did I agree to that?" I stared at her.

"Just now!"

"I don't remember that...." I watched her closely.

"Pretty please with cherries on top? And whip cream!"

"I-I guess...." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Yay! From this day forward consider me your friend! We can watch Rapunzel together to!"

"Ok!" I smiled at her and looked behind me at my mom who was pacing back and forth while Natalie looked between me and my mom. Spirit was standing next to Lord Death who was.... just standing there. And Kid was still going on that his eyes weren't ugly. I stood up and dusted myself off and walked over to my mom and tugged on her shirt. "Mommy? I'm sowwie that I yelled at you." She wrapped me into a hug and petted my head.

"Don't you ever yell at me like that again please."

"I'll try." Natalie ran up to us.

"Awwww! You two are so adorable together!" She joined the hug.

"Being....squished alive here...." They backed off and I looked over at Lord Death and slowly walked over to him.

"So are you ready to join DWMA?" I nodded.

"OH YAY! DADDY I WANT TO COME HERE EVERYDAY SHE COMES! I WANT CLASSES WITH HER TO! I WANT HER TO FEEL RIGHT AT HOME!" Fade went up to Lord Death and tugged on his cloak.

"I will see what I can do angel!"

"DO IT NOW!"

"I can't until I know what she is because her classes will be slightly based on it! And she'll be moved to classes with whoever she chooses to partner with." Lord Death said. "It's all very unknown and vague right now."

"Oh yeah... I forgot." Fade frowned and looked and me then smiled. "I hope you find out soon!" Natalie walked up to me and patted my head and leaned down to me whispering.

"Noire, if you want we can try right now. I can catch you if you actually transform."

"But I don't know about that!" I said and my mom walked over and whispered to me how to transform and what it was like.

"Understand?" I nodded slightly.

"I think so."

"What?" Fade looked confused.

"Just giving her an idea of what it's like to transform in case she's like me and her dad. She could be like her grandmother on her daddy's side and be a meister though...." My mom said.

"Oh ok! Have fun Noire! If it is fun..."

"It sounds hard." I said. Spirit looked over.

"It's not hard."

"Sounds easy, daddy why is it I was born a meister?"

"Because of ME! I'm a Shinigami and so are you and Kid. Your mommy was a meister as well." Lord Death laughed a little. "Why? Don't want to be a meister?"

"I think transforming into a weapon seems fun! Oh well.."

"Depending on who you have kids with, your kids might be able to be weapons." Lord Death told her.

"Ewe...I don't want more Kids, I already have Kid as it is!"

"I meant children like Noire here."

"Ohhhh! I knew that!"

"Yeah..... That's why you don't come outside a lot too."

"OUCH, THAT HURT. I THINK I WONT TALK TO YOU."

"Don't be that way baby! I didn't mean to hurt you!" He looked at her.

"Kid tell daddy apology is not accepted." Kid took one of the custard pies off of the table and threw it in Lord Death's face.

"FADE SAYS YOUR APOLOGY IS NOT ACCEPTED!"

"Yay! Kid loves me!" Fade giggled and bounced up and down.

"What are you talking about? You destroyed Mr. Snuggles! How dare you!"

"I didn't mean to! Your so mean! Holding that against me!" Fade took one of the pies and threw it at Kid. "HA! IN YOUR FACE!"

"HEY! THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M STILL MAD AT YOU!" Kid threw a pie at Fade. Luckily she dodged it and ran behind me.

"Hey can I come home with you mr red head?"

"Why are you behind me?" I looked at Fade and over at Kid. "He's mean."

"He is! He is so mean! I AM SORRY KID FOR RUINING THE SYMMETRICAL PIE BUT YOU DID IT TO!"

"AHHHHH! THE PIE! SYMMATRY- OH WELL."

"What the?" I stared at them both. "Ooooook then. I'm going to see if I can transform yet....." I looked over at Natalie.

"Yay! I will cheer for you Noire!" Fade stepped a few steps away from me. "From here."

"Ok!" I smiled at her. "Alright Natalie!" I closed my eyes and did what my mom told me to: imagine the weapon sleeping inside me. Weird right? I heard a gasp and opened my eyes. WHAT THE?!? Natalie was holding me and I could feel her soul wavelength working easily with mine. (mommy taught me about wavelengths when I was 8) Mommy had her hands up to her mouth and tears were in her eyes.

"She's like me and her dad."

"Oh Noire! You are a pretty sword! I like it, so shiny."

"Eeeeek! Mom! What the heck is this?!?"

"You are a sword. Guess it's slightly because your dad was a Katana. Wow..... a sword. It wouldn't have been my first guess."

"What would have been your first guess?" Lord Death asked.

"She seemed more of a Baselard to me." She tilted her head.

"Oh cool! I like the sword better." Fade pointed out. "It seems more like her."

"I guess your right." Mommy said. "I'm just glad that my question is answered really."

"I am glad you found out you are a weapon and what your form is Noire!" I untransformed and Lord Death pulled out a few folders.

"Alright Noire, sense how you are a weapon.... you need a meister. If you want, you can choose from one of these. These students are meisters currently looking for a weapon to work with at this Academy. You don't have to choose one of these, but these particular students have asked for help finding a weapon so I have to at least show you their profiles. Sorry. OH! And I have a question for you before you go as well!" Lord Death handed me the folders. "Just look through them and if one catches your eye I can bring them here for you to meet them and decide on it."

"Ok." I smiled at him and sat down going through the folders.

"HEY FADE IS LOOKING FOR A WEAPON!" Kid blurted out.

'Kid, that was not polite of you!" Lord Death shinigami chopped Kid. I ignored them and continued looking through the profiles. Nope.... I'm not partnering up with an anime hater. I looked at the boy who hated anime. And he's not very cute either. No definitely not. I tossed the folder aside.

"Noire! UM... UMMM.....Would you be my weapon?" Fade sat by me.

"Huh? Oh..........uh...............I....I guess." I finally said after I finished looking at the folders. All of them.

"Yay!!!!!!" She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I'm so glad you said yes, but why did you take so long?!?"

"I was....thinking about something...." I smiled at her and pushed the folders away slowly.

"About cookies? ME TO!"

"Yeah! Cookies! Amazing cookies!" I said shoving the folders away quickly.

"Daddy! I- OH WAIT. Kid, tell daddy I found my weapon."

"WHY WON'T YOU SPEAK TO ME?!?" Lord Death asked and picked her up by the back of her collar dangling her in the air.

"AHHHHH! KID HELP ME SCARY LORD DEATH ON THE LOOSE!"

"I am sorry, Kid is not here right now. I am busy eating." Kid shoved a bite of pie into his mouth.

"WHYYY ARE YOU MEAN TO ME!" Fade kicked around in the air. "Tell daddy to let me go?"

"Dad, you heard her."

Fade's p.o.v.

I dangled in the air as my dad had me in the air. I was so happy to have finally partnered with someone, but did she really want to be my partner, she stuttered. I looked up at my dad and gasped as he pulled me into a hug and got pie all over me. "AWE MY LITTLE GIRL IS GROWING UP ON ME!!!!!"

"LET GO! CAN'T BREATHE!" I gasped and tried to pull away.

"Not until you accept my apology!"

"SPIRIT WHY ARE YOU INFLUENCING MY DAD ON HOW TO BE A GOOD PARENT!" I struggled in Lord Deaths arms. "AHHHH!"

"Accept my apology!" Oh no, he just hugged me tighter.

"FINE I ACCEPT YPUR APPOLOGY!" He dropped me and walked away. "I'M FREEEEE!!"

"So I will need transcript papers and these documents filled out for miss Noire." My dad gave the papers to Noire's mom.

"Yes sir. Anything else?"

"Yes, can your daughter come live with me? She would get adjusted better at my manor with Fade. I see it is best for her."

"Uhhhh..." Her mom looked pained and she looked at Noire then at me and then back to Lord Death.

"She can come as soon as the papers is filled out and she turns eleven." Lord Death informed them and I looked at Noire.

"She turns eleven in 2 days though..... Ok. But I want weekly reports on her behavior and grades. And she has to visit me once a month."

"Ya! Only once a month, visitation rights granted! weekly reports are always provided along with the grades, I WILL personally hand them over to you."

"Oh dang it. I should have said 10 visits a month at least." She crossed her arms and looked over at Natalie. "Whoops."

"She will be sent to you once a month the rest of the month is up to her decision and it can't be on weekdays during school."

"Dad, that is-"

"AGREED!" My dad interrupted me. Her mom seemed a little happier than before.

"I guess so...." She looked over at Noire. Noire stared at the two and walked over to her mom grabbing her hand.

"Okay, I just had spirit type up the contract, here you go!" Spirit handed Noire's mom the contract.

"Dad this is a little extreme..."

"SHHHHHHHH" Noire's mom read over everything then looked up at Lord Death then down at Noire and kneeled down to her height.

"Do you want to do this? It's ok if you don't. I won't sign if you say no."

"Noire, ignore my dad he is crazy, but you will have a great time being my partner and we will visit your mom as soon as we can."

"But mommy will miss me." Noire looked at her mommy and touched her mom's nose.

"You will get to see her on the weekends and anytime after school."

"O-ok. You can do what you want mom." She smiled at her mommy.

"Well, it would probably be better for you to be close to your partner so you learn more about each other and train together. You will visit me though. I mean it. Natalie will be there on the days that you come to visit. RIGHT NATALIE."

"RIGHT! BECAUSE SHE'S MY BABY GIRL TOO!" Natalie smiled. Her mom looked at Lord Death then signed the paper and handed it over to him.

"YAS! Now that we are officially on agreement with it, here spirit," He handed over the paper and then was handed another piece of paper from Spirit. "Ok, this is another one for you to keep, just sign it."

"Ok." She looked over the paper and then signed it and looked back up at Lord Death.

"There we go! Noire I will see you here in three days that's when I will take you to live with me. You understand what your mom signed right?"

"She signed my life over....."

"Not exactly but it was close enough. See you soon ok?"

"O-ok." Noire nodded and tugged on her mom's shirt. "You promised." She looked up at her mom sharply. "You've got to now!"

"BYE NOIRE! I WILL SEE YOU IN THREE DAYS, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! I WILL SET YOUR ROOM UP RIGHT BY MINE, OK? Kid has his weapons living with us to, so we will never be lonely! See you soon."

"BYE! HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!" Noire shouted over her shoulder. "Mom, mint and chocolate chip ok?"

"Fine. Let's go get it ok?"

"I'm spending the night for three days." Natalie stated as they walked out of the Death Room.

"Wow Fade's got a weapon now.... Who knew it would be a newbie?"

"She likes mint chocolate chip to?"
