So poor chelsea. I really felt for her. Her fate was not the best, and it shows the likely fate of most tinies especially owned, that even if they are perfect, they can be destroyed by the wims of these cruel giantesses. This once again demenstrates that Trevor is insane for giving his rights up. Annebelle has shown that she isnt stable. Donnica would kill her if she ever did hurt Trevor, but what good does that due to an already dead tiny. I am glad that you didnt drag out the drama on him belonging to penny or helen for long., I never like that trope. Its not you, thats a me thing. JUst glad you didnt drag it out for multiple chapters. I am interested to see how things will play out now that he is fully owned and the property of Donnice and Annebell. Curious to see if he comes to regret it, or actaully love it.

I am seriously interested in where you are going with the Amber and Rebecca story line. I cant wait to see more of that.

I just finished S8, and now I feel terrible for doubting Scarlett before!

But first, I liked that slight glimpse into Donnica's side of things after that call from Helena. I'm sure she was a wreck wondering where Trevor was before that moment, so that call had to be both a relief and a horror for her at the same time. You threw in some nice details to show how stressed she was, too. My favorite was her heels sounding like warning shots as she raced across the tile floor to go pick up Trevor.

Amber is really sweet to worry about her mom, and yeah, whenever someone says "Everything is going to be okay," that's usually the time you have to really start worrying!

Before we get into Scarlett proper, I wanted to commend you on how you (once again) masterfully set up the back half of this segment with the first half. There were so many little lines clearly designed to make us expect the opposite of what was going to happen, or maybe you just happen to be quite fond of irony. Things like Rebecca thinking about how Scarlet would be the kind of girl she'd be friends with if things were different, if they were the same size and she was younger, and all of those thoughts about how insignificant Rebecca thought she was to Scarlett and how indifferent the giant girl was to her existence were awesome to see flipped on their head later in the segment.

In particular, this line stuck out for me more after finishing the segment:

She was nothing to Scarlett. A speck in her world. A forgotten crumb.

Because, from the moment Scarlett discovered Rebecca's existence, this was not the case at all! Scarlett's first instinct was to save Rebecca's tiny life, an instinct I feel like most of the giants we've met so far don't possess in the least. Then, Scarlett was incredibly nervous and embarrassed at the state she was in while in Rebecca's presence. The opinion of that "forgotten crumb" was immensely important to Scarlett. She was extremely apologetic about her juices being on the fingers that saved Rebecca's life (most of the giants we've seen so far not only wouldn't have cared, but they would have expected Rebecca to be thankful that they'd bothered to save her at all and probably would have made her lick the juices from those fingers, too!), and when Rebecca saw that raunchy mixed-sized porn on Scarlett's phone, the giant was desperate to assure Rebecca that she would never do that to her or think of her as just some prop or toy.

Without even knowing Rebecca, the tiny immediately became extremely significant to Scarlett. There was nothing indifferent about the way she treated Rebecca.

Also, her nervousness was fucking adorable!

But this is why those doubts I had about Scarlett have gone away. This impromptu one-on-one time with Rebecca was unplanned and unanticipated. There were no witnesses to impress. Scarlett, when finding a seemingly random tiny in trouble, saved her and treated her more like a person than anyone else in the story has to a tiny. With Amber, there was always the possibility that she was trying to manipulate Amber to some end, as she had shown that potential when dealing with Amber before and therefore could have been doing the same again here. But with Rebecca, I can't think of any motivation for Scarlett to lie or deceive. This was just a random, genuine moment, and Scarlett showed us who she really is. And I liked the person I saw, maybe more than any other character in the whole damn story (and Annabel is in the story, so that's saying something)!

Not only that, but Rebecca immediately made friends with Scarlett. She calmed the big girl down and quickly went from fearing her to giddily admitting that she's Amber's girlfriend. And then she covered for Scarlett, lied for her! That's a great way to build trust and friendship. Scarlett seemed pretty grateful for the bailout, too!

Stepping back just a bit and revisiting Scarlett's time at the desk "alone," good God did every word of Rebecca's description of Scarlett leave me mesmerized! I shouldn't be surprised, given how strong your descriptions always are, but this one resonated with me in a way that was unique and enthralling. From the way the blue light from nightlight illuminating her facial features to the unwittingly cocky way she shifted weight between her feet and shrugged her shoulders, I don't think I blinked until the books started falling. I mentioned the irony and clever intention of Scarlett seeming indifferent to Rebecca's presence, but I also need to bring up how incredibly hot this was with how the whole thing was presented.

Even Scarlett's smelly feet (I'm not a smells guy, despite loving this story, if you can believe it!), but the way you tied that stench in with Rebecca feeling like a worthless speck in Scarlett's presence was just incredible! And Rebecca thinking of all the ways Scarlett could end her without even noticing? Chef's kiss!

Everything was so sensual in that scene. I know in the last chapter I speculated that Scarlett might end up being a romantic rival (unknowingly) fighting Rebecca for Amber's affection, but now I feel like maybe I should have been more worried about Scarlett fighting Amber for Rebecca's affection! Of course, this doesn't have to go the love-triangle route at all, and if this somehow ended up being a more ... traditional version of what Donnica, Annabel, and Trevor have going on, I'd be fucking thrilled! Seeing the three of them in such harmony at the end of the chapter was so sweet, and it got my imagination going a little bit, too.

I really have no idea what you have in mind for these three in the chapters ahead, but I feel like I'm going to be deeply into it regardless of what direction you choose to take them.

Of course, Amber woke up just in time to cut short what was turning out to be heart-melting moment between Scarlett and Rebecca, but I still love how protective Amber was of Rebecca here. Given how the last time a giant discovered Rebecca in Amber's room went (and thoughts of Sara were dancing in my head when Scarlett's hand shot down too fast for Rebecca to comprehend), her anger and concern are completely justifiable here.

Scarlett not only accepting but supporting their relationship was awesome too! She immediately figured out that Rebecca was not only the same girl Amber talked about so much but also Amber's girlfriend so quickly, and I feel like her natural open-mindedness played a huge role in that. Scarlett didn't once assume that Rebecca was Amber's slave or pet, and I get the feeling that Scarlett would have been disgusted if that had been what Rebecca was to Amber. 

But we also found out some other interesting stuff about Scarlett in this segment. She has two moms, first of all. She's also a "microsexual" (I love this term!) and seemingly has dated tinies before. This is all interesting to me, because I had speculated in my head that maybe one of Scarlett's parents had either recently shrunk or people at her old school had found out, and that's why she transferred. That could technically still could be the case, but I really have no particular reason to think that. I thought that might justify why Scarlett might be nicer to tinies (I was hoping she would be, even if I did have my doubts about her), but the microsexual thing kind of helps explain that a little bit. I mean, if she's attracted to tinies, it only makes sense that she's gotten to know some and has a better understanding that they're just people.

Also, the fact that Scarlett is oversexed helps explain why she would just sneak over to her new friend's desk and start touching herself like that. It's a compulsion she struggles to control, apparently. I love that her parents gave her such good advice on it, though. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just, you know, do a tiny search first next time!

You were right: This was my favorite segment of the chapter! And I'm so excited to see what's in store for these three. Rebecca already seems to know more than Amber and Scarlett's soccer coaches, so could we see Rebecca giving Scarlett some more direct coaching instead of doing it through Amber? Will Amber's relief at having another giant accept her relationship with Rebecca make her more willing to "share" Rebecca, or will Amber get more greedy about her Rebecca time now that there's another giant friend who might want to hang out with her tiny girlfriend sometimes? Will Rebecca ever get used to the smell of Scarlett's feet, and how bad a sign is that if she does?

I know I called Penelope fucking up in my last review and thought she'd get a rude awakening once Helena found out what she had done, but fuck was the whole of S5 so, so satisfying!

You set it up so perfectly too. Building off of all that queenly stuff in the car, Penelope was so smugly elated once they arrived at Helena's place. She envisioned how happy Helena would be, how proud her mother would be for once after hearing that she had finally succeeded, and hell, there was even the fellowship (I'm assuming some sort of family fortune type thing?) to consider! Even her happiness at the reveal of Trevor to Helena fed into this.

And as soon as I saw Helena's immediate reaction, I was grinning from ear to ear. I figured Helena would be upset, but this went above and beyond my expectations. I mean, I knew Donnica was important to her somehow, but I didn't think it had reached the point where a few words from Trevor were enough for her to slap the shit out of Penelope!

To be fair, though, I think there was a little more to that slap than just the consequences Penelope raping Trevor might bring on Helena, although I have no doubt that was a factor. Based on the way she chastised Penelope when the young Brit called herself a "goddess-in-waiting" (I love how massively overinflated so many of your characters' egos are!) makes me think there's a code when it comes to owning tinies (owning in the general sense, not just the Status-C stuff). That whole "don't mess with another woman's pet" line makes me think that some of that anger came from Penelope being too petulant to understand that an "owned" tiny is off-limits, goddess or not. I found that to be pretty interesting.

But yeah, seeing Penelope's world crash down all around her was so enjoyable. I'm normally not the type to revel in the suffering of others, even fictional characters (unless it's hot, I mean!), but damn was her agony at Helena putting her in her place immensely gratifying!

And then the deeper implications sunk in for Penelope. I was so happy to see that she was concerned about this triggering an investigation. I mentioned before that I thought there had to be real consequences to someone (even with Helena's special status) just swiping someone's Status-C claim without reason and that Helena would be aware of that, so it was awesome to see that actually be the case! Not only that, but Helena has other reasons to fear an investigation, which is quite a curious development.

It seems as though this Kingdom of hers is probably what she's worried about the government discovering. I love the mystery you introduced simply by having your characters repeat that word a few times (and as a proper noun, of course!). So Helena has subjects? Man, my imagination is racing at the possibilities!

Does Helena have her own little city of tiny slaves? If so, is it Medieval themed? Saudi themed? Have I mentioned that giantesses in tiny cities (or city-like places) is one of my absolute favorite things in this fetish? I mean, the Kingdom could be something different entirely, but the possibilities here are really exciting!

Oh, uh, terrible. I mean, it's a terrible thing Helena is doing to those poor tinies, whatever it is (assuming they're mistreated).

But man, that threat Helena laid on Penelope just before carelessly handing off Trevor (I love the emphasis on that carelessness, by the way) was chilling. I still don't know if Helena's "need' of Donnica is more personal or professional in nature, but it's certainly really important to her!

The start of S6 was brilliant as well! Between the description of Penelope holding him away from her body in both disgust and fear and Trevor's attitude coming right back to him, this was handled so, so well! I love how Trevor so dryly taunted her. He had warned her about this (okay, maybe not exactly this, but that there would be consequences for her claiming him), and despite what she did to him, how she made him feel, he didn't even hesitate to kick her while she was down. Trevor is so fucking awesome

And Penelope whining and telling him to shut up is just perfect. She had the world at her feet five minutes ago and now she has nothing. Her fit about hating Trevor was great, like he would actually care about that. She's a brat who doesn't know how to deal with not only not getting her way but having someone there to mock her the way she mocks others. It's delicious!

And then she gets kicked out (and surely fired?) after putting Trevor in the cage with Celine. She just acts without thinking and assumes ignorance will save her, but that shit doesn't work in the real world, especially not with someone like Helena.

And just why does anyone even mentioning Celine, let alone seeing her, piss Helena off so much? Is she just desperate to have Celine be completely isolated from the rest of the world? Is she afraid that Celine is going to reveal some deep dark secret or blow up her plan? Does a part of her secretly like Celine and want her all to herself, burying that feeling with hate and anger? I mean, she did flip out way more after seeing then "entangled," and I'm not sure if that was jealousy or something else entirely.

Speaking of Celine, I'm pissed at myself. I briefly thought that Celine might be the rival before, but I dismissed the thought entirely. There's no way someone like Helena would lean so heavily on a tiny like that, and she definitely wouldn't rely on her hated rival!

So now Helena is pathetic and a hypocrite!

As for Celine herself, I can see why she always finished ahead of Helena in life. She's incredible! For most of this chapter, we see Helena flipping out and being angry because things aren't going her way (granted that investigation sounds like a pretty legit concern for her). Celine's life is hell! She lives in her rival's cage (assuming Celine even viewed Helena as a rival) and is tormented by her every day. Yet not only is she defiant, only willingly giving Helena anything at all because of her yet-to-be-introduced sister, but she's calm, cool, and collected the whole time! Sure, she seems a little ... unbalanced, but that comes off more as a personality trait, a way to keep people guessing about her, than it does something caused by everything that's been done to her.

And she's incredibly smart, too! She already knows damn near everything! And the way she pieced together what happened to Trevor with minimal clues to go off of (and Helena had to be told instead of figuring it out on her own) was honestly impressive. Not only that, but the way she says things makes her totally unreadable. Is she bitter that Trevor is helping the giants destroy tinies' rights or does she not give a fuck at this point? Does she just enjoy needling him or is she giving him a hard time because of that? Why did she jump him? Did she want to make Helena jealous? Does she know of some other reason Helena would hate that? Did she think it would get Trevor in trouble?

And holy shit! The way she called out to Trevor and asked him to visit her again in a sing-song voice (and right after being flicked away, too!) was hilarious. She's trapped in that cage and forced to service Helena's feet and ass, but somehow she still seems like the one in control in some ways. I really like her!

The negotiation between Trevor and Helena was interesting. Again, I thought Helena would never "stoop so low" as to make a deal with a tiny, especially Trevor of all people, but their conversation was mostly civil. She even set him down on the desk gently. I almost feel like there's a begrudging respect between them, even if neither of them will ever admit it. Whether Helena can accept it or not, Trevor has been a worthy adversary for her in the office, and apparently they're battling for Donnica's soul now? And for Trevor, we've already seen him admit to himself that the office needs Helena now.

I also love how Trevor handled this, knowing when to push and when to back off. I thought it was brilliant how he outsmarted Helena to get a session with Celine, demanding weeks or months with her, only to be thrilled that he got the one session he really needed guaranteed to him!

Helena, on the other hand, actually gave Trevor some information before shutting down and thinking of him as a pest. That probably wasn't so bright on her part, but maybe that's just her underestimating him? Or maybe she thinks Donnica coming back into the ideological fold is inevitable, so why not get her "pet" ready for what's coming?

Now we just need to wait and see what happens with Trevor's status. It seems like Helena is eager to get him out of her name, but will she change her mind and find a way to use this? Will Donnica demand that this be settled as soon as possible and get this settled quickly? I'm really curious if this Status-C ambiguity is going to stick around for awhile or if it's served its purpose and things get cleared up quickly.

So yeah, S5,6, and 7 were a great back end to all the drama you set up with 2-4. You gave us a legitimate scare and had us thinking maybe Trevor was really fucked this time, then gave us a satisfying conclusion (for now) and even teased us a bit on the larger story ahead. I really enjoyed this!

So I just finished reading S2 through S4, and man, you weren't kidding about the consequences of Annabel's mistake playing out really soon! Actually, I think the fact that she was so annoyed and frustrated over everything that she missed his name in the portal makes it even worse than if this had happened while she was spinning in Donnica's chair (you're right, that is a fun visual, by the way!).

Since I've already brought her up, I'm really curious what Donnica and Annabel's reactions to him getting claimed will be. The last time something happened with Trevor, Donnica went full scapegoat on Annabel (and it wasn't even her fault). With this new dynamic between them, I really have no idea how Donnica will react now that something so serious that was partially Annabel's fault (because let's be honest, this was almost entirely Penelope's fault, even if Annabel should have been paying attention to the portal). That should be interesting to see as the chapter progresses.

But I already know how Annabel will handle it. Even if Donnica puts all the blame on her and unleashes her fury on her, it'll be nothing compared to what Annabel puts herself through. Despite that bratty attitude, she deeply loves both Donnica and Trevor. Seeing what she put her goddess mother through will be bad enough, but after she finds out what Trevor went through, what she could have prevented with just a little bit more diligence, she might break. Again. That guilt is going to weigh her down for some time, I think.

But while we're playing the blame game here, we might as well throw some Trevor's way as well. It was noble of him to try to do what was best for the firm, for Donnica despite herself, even when it went directly against Donnica and Annabel's demand that he always be accompanied around the office. But this was also pretty stupid of him, especially since he really, really wanted to avoid using that emergency clicker.

Even without this Status-C stuff, it was only a matter of time until one of Helena's girls (or just anybody in the office, really) decided to do something stupid and put him in jeopardy, protected status or not. He even knows Helena hires fuck-ups exclusively (although not intentionally, I'm sure), so he should have made sure to remove himself from any situation that they could take advantage of, if even for a fleeting minute. So to put himself in the same room as Penelope, let alone test the posh Brit's limits (something Trevor loves to do with hostile giants), was a tremendous mistake on his part, one he's currently paying the price for.

But I don't think this is going to last, though. Trevor's status can't stay this way. You put too much emphasis on what all someone applying for Status-C has to go through to be granted it, both in the previous chapter and in this one. The "loophole" Penelope found, using Helena's position to override Donnica's claim, strikes me as more of a system thing than a legal one. As in someone like Helena could step in and override things if it's in the best interest of the tiny, not to claim them for themselves. There's no way the government would make you go through such an extensive process, one that many willing applicants have failed for fickle reasons if S1 is anything to go by, only to just allow someone else, even someone like Helena, to just swoop in and claim an applicant for themselves.

So yeah, this isn't going to last. I don't know if Helena is smart enough to realize this or if Donnica is going to have to file a lawsuit to regain her property, but Trevor's time as a true slave is limited. You're not fooling me, even if I still have that sense of dread in the pit of my stomach worrying about Trevor. Because as much as I believe I'm right on this, I can't really know that for sure. And even if I am, that's not going to help Trevor much in the short term, as we saw in S4 (which I'll circle back to shortly).

All of this, in my mind, makes Penelope nothing more than a gorgeous, entitled idiot. I don't see how she's going to come back from this, unless Helena can think of some legal basis to justify the claim override, like a false claim of abuse or something. That being said, you set her up as being the one to do this quite well. She thinks that tinies in America are basically up for grabs, that it's only a matter of waiting until their registration status changes and then no one cares. That last line about her loving America really drives this point home. She really thinks it's that simple here, and that she, a regal brit with a queen complex (I loved every single one of those royalty references, by the way!), can just grab Trevor up and take him, even though he was supposed to be claimed by Annabel and Donnica.

I also love that she actively sought to date registered tinies and tried to force them to serve her anyway. I'm also not surprised that some of them actually obeyed (and not just because you're the one writing the story!). There's that primal force going around that we've seen Amber and Rebecca trying to navigate (and even Trevor felt it during that big confrontation with Helena), so of course there are other tinies that fall victim to that when an obnoxiously dominant giant like Penelope taps into it. I'm actually surprised that some walked away from her, although I love that Penelope describes as having "the nerve" to walk away. Now that's bratty entitlement!

Also, it was interesting to hear that the UK (and presumably a good portion of the world) inherently protect tinies status as people rather than privatizing it like the U.S. does. That certainly plays into the greedy Americans stereotype pretty well, and the fact that this makes the country the envy of people like Penelope, foreign visitors who want to own a tiny with a will of their own, makes a lot of sense. I was intrigued that it was mentioned a couple times that Penelope had owned tinies before, though, and broken-in ones at that. The tiny trafficking trade must be alive and well under the shadows of Big Ben and Old Bailey!

Penelope "informing" Trevor of his new status was handled so well! Her pompous attitude, her challenge for him to hit the button on his clicker, her turning her laptop around to show him, let him see for himself his new lot in life: Everything was perfect! Then she picked him up like a loose thread on her desk (I love that simile!) and smashed his stuff and brushed the rubble aside like crumbs (I found the other crumb line!). As dumb, or maybe deluded is a better word here, as Penelope is, all of this was really fucking hot, right down to the way she shifted her fingers to remind him that she could drop him at any time.

But the pocket might have been my favorite part of these three segments.

I've praised your emphasis on giant footsteps quite a bit, but this was such a unique take on it! I love how carelessly she stuffed him in her skirt pocket, but it was how his whole world was utterly rocked with each step as she strutted through the office that really got me. You had me at the word thigh! That was such a great detail, her thigh knocking him down as it rushed up to meet him in the pocket over and over as she walked without a care in the world. So good!

And then there was the rape scene. There wasn't a lot of dialogue here, for obvious reasons, but I was hanging on every poshly spoken word to slip out of Penelope's lips. Her attitude, her demeanor, pretty much everything about her once they get into the car was so alluring and sexy but in the darkest of ways. To see her truly indulge in owning Trevor was hypnotic, and it really drew me in.

Speaking of her "owning" him, I was intrigued by how she kept thinking that, despite the fact that he's registered to Helena. I couldn't tell if this was more delusion, her fantasizing in the moment, or if she really thinks that Helena will let her "own" Trevor and just keep him under Helena's name for legal reasons. Regardless of why she's thinking this, I think she's in for a rude awakening at Helena's place (based on that line about Helena's estate and visiting him often, I'm assuming that's where they're going). Even if Helena is happy with owning Trevor and there aren't consequences for what Penelope did, I can't really see Helena sharing him. He'd be a special prize for her, not as special as the rival, but someone she'd want to keep for herself for all the trouble he's caused her.

So even in the best case scenario for Penelope, this is probably as good as it's going to get for her.

Anyway, back to the smut, your luxurious writing style worked its magic here. The way she lowered him to her panties so slowly, making him take in every inch of her, was awesome! Uh, disgraceful! I meant disgraceful! What a menace Penelope is. A sultry, bratty, sexy British menace. Um, what were we talking about again?

Oh right! Her pussy! What a fantastic job you did of showing Penelope's bliss and Trevor's suffering with that insertion scene. That unspoken command was great! Distinguishing the loving touches of Annabel and Donnica from Penelope using him was perfect! And your descriptions, as always, were on point and well detailed.

Then, of course, Penelope shoved him up her ass. I like how you tied this in with the bathroom incident with Helena, mentioning back in S2 that all of Helena's girls knew about that and made fun of him for it constantly. So Penelope talking about his skills inside an asshole wasn't random at all. I admit that I didn't see this coming back in S2, but I feel like I should have!

Jumping back to S2, there were a couple things about Helena that stood out to me. First, her racking up legal victories and seemingly working like mad to make herself indispensable was interesting. Given what she said about having Donnica by her side in the last chapter, I'm guessing that Helena, who probably wouldn't have much trouble getting into another firm, is motivated by something other than professionalism. Donnica is giving her the cold shoulder and Helena goes into overdrive? Sounds like Helena's trying to get back into Donnica's good graces, something Penelope's actions certainly won't help with.

 I'm even starting to wonder if Helena might be interested in Donnica romantically or something. There's not nearly enough there to draw that conclusion yet, but the way Helena is approaching this issue with Donnica has put the thought in my mind.

The other thing that jumped out at me was how often Helena is rotating assistants and that they aren't even being fired. My first thought was that hiring a bunch of fellow bigots is probably a part of the problem, with her likely prioritizing their sizeism over their merit. In my mind, that certainly applies to Penelope.

But thinking about it a bit more, I'm wondering if something is happening to these girls. Maybe I'm reading too much into this and their "disappearances" are just another example of how Helena bucking the office system is creating problems, but I kind of suspect that Helena is actually doing something to these girls. Unlike Donnica, who, even before all this goddess mother stuff, felt fond of her assistant, Helena has shown her own no love. I would think that them being fired would have to go through the system in some shape or form, so what's happening to them?

The conspiracy theorist in me wants to believe that Helena has figured out some way to weaponize the virus and that the penalty of for failing her is the loss of her assistants' "godesshood." That's a completely random theory I'm throwing out there and probably completely wrong (I mean, how would any of that even work?), but you made the thought pop in brain, so deal with it!

Oh, and I didn't forget about Celine and MINAR. When we first learned that Helena was being shady, I suspected that she was planning a coup, something we now know isn't the case. But that she has her own system and has been keeping track of things her own way the whole time is mind-blowing to me. I just assumed she was being difficult, but now we know she has something to hide. Namely Celine. Who the fuck is that? Is it even actually a person? Maybe some kind of codename or AI? What a great mystery you've sprung on us!

Damn, these three segments were gut-wrenching, yet intensely erotic as well! If this is how you do plot, fucking sign me up!

awesome chapter

Fantastic, as always. So many things are happening in this chapter, but the best is the new character Scarlett. What an incredible giantess, so happy for Amber and Rebecca, even if Rebecca is going to have to learn to enjoy another pair of stinky feet. And of course Celine, who was incredible tiny, I was scared she was going to be destroyed by Helena's treatment, but not at all; she does everything to piss her off. Fantastic One of the best chapters. And as a conclusion, fuck Penelope; she wanted to take Donnica tiny. 

Author's Response:

Yes I was so happy to show more about Scarlett, I love that you point her out. Same with Celine, another new character I am so happy to show everyone… and you’re right, she is absolutely NOT destroyed by Helena’s treatment, in fact, she not afraid to stand up to her at all.

Lol poor Penelope, she just want to make her mom happy :D
