-Of Challenges, Ten Rookies, and Tests pt.1-
"Hey, you! With the attitude! Hold on!" A voice suddenly called out, stopping the four in their tracks as they were about to enter another part of the building. Turning around they spot Lee standing behind them with a serious expression.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asks gruffly.
"I want to fight. Right here and right now." Lee answered, not breaking his gaze from Sasuke.
"You want to fight me here and now, huh?" Sasuke asks again, this time somewhat rhetorically, making Amaya roll her eyes.
"Saa~... Well that is what he just said." The brunette cut in, crossing her arms over her chest, earning her a look from Sasuke.
"Yes." Lee said, paying no mind to the Minamoto as he moved closer to the quartet as he juts his thumb into his chest. "My name is, Rock Lee." He introduces a second time before pointing at Sasuke. "You said it was common courtesy for a challenger to give his own name first, right? Sasuke Uchiha!"
"Hm... So, you know me." Sasuke replies casually, making Amaya scoff.
"It's not like the giant fan symbol on your shirt is anything to go by." She sassed, earning an elbow to her ribs from Sakura as Sasuke shot her a small glare.
"I challenge you! Everyone is always talking about the Uchiha clan, and how great they are. I want to see if it is true. I figured you would be a good test for me, and also..." Lee's voice trailed off as he glanced at Sakura blushing, making the girl shiver. "Oh, Sakura! I love you!" He proclaims suddenly, making them all, except for Sasuke, blanch.
Sakura lets out a scream. "Those eyebrows can't be real! Nooo!" She yells with a shiver before continuing. "Your hairstyle is horrible too! And those eyebrows are so bushy! You're such a weirdo!"
'Saa~... Don't go too easy on him Sakura. It's not like he has feelings or anything.' Amaya thought to herself sarcastically, side-eyeing the pinkette.
"You're an angel, sent from heaven!" Lee replied with a wink before blowing a kiss, sending a heart Sakura's way.
Amaya watches in amusement as Sakura screeches and dodges. "That's a good move! But let's see you dodge this!" Lee states winking with both eyes - which to Amaya just looked like he was blinking rapidly - sending multiple hearts towards Sakura, who dodges furiously.
'That was... too... close...' Sakura thought to herself as she panted. Standing up from her slouched position, pointing at Lee with a tick mark on her head. "Hey! Keep your cruddy little valentines to yourself! I was dodging for my life there!"
"You do not have to be so negative, Sakura." Lee replies as he deflates slightly before locking his eyes on Amaya who nervously sweats in response. "Amaya-san--!" He begins but is stopped by the brunette waving her hands in a placating manner.
"Ahaha... I barely know you remember, Lee-san?" Amaya interrupts with a nervous laugh, earning a determined look from the boy.
"I shall make it my mission to learn more about you, Amaya-san!" Lee promised, raising a clenched fist into the air.
"Ah, that's very considerate of you, Lee-san..." Amaya murmured with a sweatdrop, looking off to the side towards a now annoyed Naruto.
'He wants to fight Sasuke?! Argh! It's always Sasuke!' Naruto thought to himself angrily.
"You've heard of the Uchiha clan, yet you're challenging me? You must be even more psycho than you look, if that's possible." Sasuke cuts in, reverting back to the original topic before continuing cockily. "You want to know more about my clan? Then I'll teach you. The hard way."
"Bring it on!" Lee replies, raising a hand with his palm facing his body as he dropped into a fighting stance. 'Excellent! I'll match up against the number one rookie! I will draw him out and get him to reveal his technique! And I will prove myself to you, Gai-sensei!' He thought to himself.
"Hold it!" Naruto yells suddenly, earning looks from the others. "I get him first. This weirdo is mine!" He proclaims, a determined look in his eye.
"Go for it." Sasuke concedes.
Amaya sighs. 'The only time they actually agree on something is when they want to beat someone to a pulp.' She thought to herself, shaking her head.
"Naruto...!" Sakura growled out annoyed.
"What? It'll take me two minutes to have this guy begging for mercy." Naruto replied cockily.
"No thank you. Right now, the only one I want to fight is Uchiha." Lee dismisses, looking back at the ever expressionless Sasuke.
"Saa~... Here we go." Amaya mused aloud, leaning against a nearby pillar, crossing her arms.
"Yeah? Well I've got news for you! Sasuke can't compare to me! Believe it!" Naruto yells before running towards Lee.
The rest of Team 7 watched as Naruto reached Lee, letting out a war cry as he threw a punch. Lee simply stepped to the side before flicking his wrist, pushing Naruto's fist down with his fingers, easily deflecting the attack.
'He has impressive reflexes.' Amaya mused to herself, her eyebrows raising slightly.
Naruto growls angrily as he catches himself on his hands. Twisting around, the blond attempts a roundhouse kick, which Lee dodges before crouching low to the ground.
The bushy-browed boy then swiftly swiped his leg out, knocking the arm Naruto was balancing on out from under him. "Leaf Whirlwind!" Lee yells loudly as Naruto is sent spiraling into a nearby wall.
'Woah, he's better than he looks.' Sakura thought to herself as she looked from Lee to a groaning Naruto.
Lee stands up to his full height and focuses on Sasuke once more. "Just accept it. You have no chance against me, your skills are inferior. You see, Sasuke, out of all the Leaf Genin, I am the best. Fight me, and I will prove it to you." He presses, making Sasuke think back to what happened earlier in the corridor.
Sasuke smirked. "This will be fun. Let's do it." He agrees, dropping into his own fighting stance.
Sakura looks up at the clock on a nearby wall and gasps seeing that the time was 2:35. "There's no time, Sasuke! We've got to register by three o'clock! That's less than half an hour." She cut in, earning a nod from Amaya.
"She's right, Duckbutt. You two will probably have another chance to face off during the exams. If not, you can always spar at the training grounds." Amaya added, receiving a look of thanks from the pinkette.
"Relax, this'll be over in five seconds." Sasuke replied smugly before running towards Lee.
"If you say so." Amaya murmurs with a sigh, slouching even more against the pillar. 'With how quickly he deflected Naruto's attack, and the fact that his sensei is Gai... I wouldn't be surprised if he was exceptional in Taijutsu.' She thought to herself, staring blankly at the fight in front of her.
'Here he comes. Forgive me, Gai-sensei. I know it is forbidden, but I have to break the rules and use that jutsu!' Lee thought to himself as Sasuke reaches him and throws a punch. Lee disappears before the hit could land and reappears behind the Uchiha. "Leaf Hurricane!" Lee shouts, preforming a series of kicks which Sasuke dodges quickly.
'I'm not moving fast enough. I've gotta block him.' Sasuke thought to himself, raising his arms to block the oncoming blow but notices Lee making a hand sign. 'What?!' The ravenet thought to himself, surprised as Lee somehow got through his block. The boys kick nailing him right in the cheek, sending Sasuke flying backwards.
"Sasuke!" Sakura cried with a small gasp as Lee stands to his full height once again.
Amaya lets her lips form a small smirk. 'I knew it.' She thought, laughing internally at the confused faces of her two teammates.
'What's going on?!' Sasuke thought to himself exasperated as he slowly rose up on his hands and knees.
'He had his guard up, but Lee went right through it!' Sakura thought, staring at Sasuke worriedly.
'He's using some technique to get to me. What is it? Ninjutsu or Genjutsu?' Sasuke thought to himself with narrowed eyes.
'As I expected. He is coming back for more.' Lee thought to himself, observing Sasuke closely.
'Hm. Okay, this is good. Got him right where I want him, now is my chance.' Sasuke thought smugly, the emotion showing on his face. "I've been waiting to try this out." He finally said aloud.
"You're really gonna use that now?" Amaya asked, amusement glittering in her blue eyes.
Sakura looked from Amaya to Sasuke in slight confusion. 'Could it be? Is it... Sharingan! When did he learn to...? His eyes... It's in both of them!' She thought to herself in awe as Sasuke looked up, revealing two gleaming blood-red eyes with two black tomoe next to the pupils.
'So that is the power of the Sharingan.' Lee thought to himself, staring into the Uchiha's eyes.
'You never know what Sasuke will do next! He's amazing! If it's like Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan, he'll be able to read this guy's jutsu and nail him!' Sakura thought it herself, almost at the point of fangirling.
'Genjutsu or Ninjutsu. Whatever magic he's using, I'll see it now!' Sasuke thought to himself as he ran forward again.
'Sasuke's getting stronger every day! Just what you'd expect from an Uchiha! Sasuke could never lose to a guy like this! No way!' Sakura thought to herself in excitement.
The two boys clash for a moment in another flurry of punches, kicks and blocks, until finally Lee lands another kick to Sasuke's chin, sending the Uchiha flying back once again.
'What?!' Sakura thought to herself, her green eyes wide in disbelief.
'This is almost painful to watch... Almost.' Amaya muses to herself, highly amused.
'He got around my guard... But how? What kind of jutsu is that?' Sasuke thought in disbelief.
"You see, my technique is not Ninjutsu or Genjutsu!" Lee states as he ran towards Sasuke.
By this point Naruto finally came too and joined his two female teammates in watching Lee continuously break through blocks, landing kicks and punches as he goes. "Sasuke!" Naruto called, surprised that the fight was still going on.
Lee attempts a punch, but his fist is caught by Sasuke, prompting him to plow his other elbow into the Uchiha's abdomen, forcing Sasuke to stumble back. "You get it now? I am using Taijutsu. That means no tricks, Sasuke." Lee informs before appearing behind the ravenet. "It's just martial arts, nothing more." He adds, angering Sasuke even more.
"Why you--!" Sasuke snaps as he swung around, aiming another punch. However, before it could land, Lee jumps back out of the way.
'So that's why Amaya isn't surprised... If anything, she's enjoying this... With her family being Taijutsu experts, she's wanting to see how this plays out.' Sakura thought to herself, glancing back at the amused brunette.
"I know your technique. Forget it, it will not work. Not on me. I know you can see through your opponent's jutsu, that Sharingan gives you the ability to read his chakra and decipher his hand signs and movements. You can guess what he's going to do almost before he knows himself. The problem is, Taijutsu is just a little bit different." Lee informs, earning a scowl from Sasuke.
"Right, so what's your point?" Sasuke asks, losing his patience with the boy.
"I do not try to hide or disguise my moves. I do not have to. Even if you can read them, you still cannot stop them. You are too slow. Your eyes may be quick enough to stay one step ahead of me, but if your body cannot keep up, what good does it do you? You know what? Here is what I believe: There are two different kinds of ninja, those like you who are born with talent and do not have to work at it." Lee begins as Sasuke runs at him again. "And those like me. The ones who have to train everyday of our lives." He adds, dodging a punch before continuing, "The fact is, your Sharingan is the worst match for my extreme Taijutsu. Here is what I mean!"
'I have to stop him!' Sasuke thought to himself before he is harshly kicked in the chin again. While in mid air, Lee suddenly appears behind Sasuke.
"Kage Buyō." Sasuke states, naming the boys move.
"Good eye. Now, I'll prove my point." Lee begins smugly as the bandages on one of his arms begin to unravel. "That hard work beats out natural talent."
'What's his next move?!" Sasuke thought to himself with slightly wide eyes.
"You're finished!" Lee states confidently.
Suddenly, a garden windmill flys through the air and pins Lee's bandages to the wall, surprising the five Genin. "This is bad." Lee murmurs, staring at the windmill tensely.
Saying the group couldn't get any more surprised would be a lie as a large, red tortoise appears. "Alright, that's enough, Lee!" The reptile said gruffly as Lee flips and lands on the ground, crouching in front of the tortoise with a bowed head.
'Wh-what now?' Sasuke thought to himself baffled as he falls to the ground.
"Sasuke!" Sakura yells out, running forward to catch the Uchiha. The two sliding across the floor slightly.
'He totally beat Sasuke! Something happened while I was knocked out! What'd he do?!' Naruto thought to himself in shock, staring from Lee and the tortoise to his three teammates.
"Are you okay?... Sasuke!" Sakura asked, becoming slightly exasperated when the boy wouldn't answer.
"Mah, mah, Sakura." Amaya called, gaining the pinkettes attention as she walked over. "I'm sure he's fine. But his ego? Nah, that's been obliterated."
"Shut up, Amaya!" Sakura snapped, making the brunette raise her hands.
"Saa~... Calm down will ya? You don't have to come to his defense every time someone says something. Stop coddling him, he's a big boy and I'm sure he can work things out on his own. What I said is true, and you know it. He got too cocky. We all do sometimes, and eventually we get knocked back down a few pegs. If anything, this is something for him to learn from." Amaya replies as she helped the two up, earning a scowl from the girl.
"I know but..." Sakura began but stopped herself as she looked back to Sasuke. 'He's really shaken up... He didn't even take the fall right.'
Lee's voice rang though the air, making everyone glance in his direction. "You... You were watching us the whole time?" He asked, keeping his eyes trained on the floor.
"Of course! That last technique is forbidden! You know that!" The tortoise replied, staring at Lee angrily.
'He's talking to a turtle... And it's talking back...' Naruto thought to himself in slight disbelief.
"I am sorry. I did not mean to." Lee apologized, lowering his head even more.
'Now he's apologizing to a turtle... Wait a minute! Could that be his sensei?' Naruto thought to himself, his mouth forming into a small o as he bumped a fist into his palm.
Lee, keeping his head bowed, glances up, only to be met with the reptile's fierce glare. The boy jumps back with a cry of surprise, panicking as he begins to give an excuse for going against the rules set for him. "I was not planning I use a forbidden jutsu! It is just... I was in the middle of the fight and I needed to... You understand...."
Team 7's attention was brought away from the bushy browed boy by Naruto as he suddenly spoke up. "I'm right! It really is his sensei!"
The boy's "discovery" earned confused looks and sounds from his teammates as he ran over. "Hey, you guys!" Naruto exclaimed as he reached them.
"What Naruto?" Sakura asked rudely.
In response, Naruto pointed over to Lee and the turtle. "That weird thing he's talking to is a turtle, right?" He asked, making Amaya bite the inside of her cheek to prevent herself from laughing.
"Obviously! What do you think it is?" A frustrated Sakura asked as she scowled at the boy.
"Okay then! So maybe it means that turtles can be sensei too!" Naruto replied as if he found the secret to life.
"How do I know if they could be sensei too?!" Sakura asked angrily, the twos conversation earning light laugh from Amaya.
The two looked at the brunette as she tried to muffle her laughter. "What is it?" They both asked, watching her wipe a tear away. "That's not his sensei, you two." Amaya replies, earning sounds of confusion in return.
"You're a disgrace! You think you'll get away with a bunch of lame excuses like that?! A Shinobi never reveals his technique unless its absolutely necessary! It's such a basic rule, you should know it by now!" The turtles loud berating caught the team's attention once more.
"Forgive me, sir." Lee pleads, bowing his head once again.
'How could I lose to that freak?!' Sasuke asked himself, the shock of it all finally setting in.
"Are you prepared to take the punishment for your actions?" The reptile asked.
"I... Yes, sir." Lee replied despairingly.
"Alright then, please come out, Gai-sensei!" The turtle replied and suddenly Gai appears in a cloud of smoke, striking a pose on top of the turtle's shell.
"Hey! What's shakin'? How ya doing everybody? Life treatin' ya good?" A cheerful Gai asked, earning surprised choking sounds from Naruto and Sakura.
"He's got he biggest eyebrows yet! They're almost alive!" Naruto exclaimed, making Amaya cover her mouth as Sakura shivered.
'I will not laugh... I will not laugh...' Amaya thought to herself with even breaths, hoping that the small mantra will help calm her down.
"Hi, Lee!" Gai greets with a wink, sending the boy a thumbs up with a sparkling smile.
"Too weird..." Sakura mumbled, wrapping her arms around herself.
"So that's where Lee gets it from! Same soup bowl haircut, and even bushier eyebrows!" Naruto exclaimed again, pointing at the duo.
Lee gets a tick mark on his head as he spins around angrily, pointing back at the blond with a furious glare on his face. "Hey! Do not insult Gai-sensei! He is one of the greatest men in the entire world!"
"Well excuse me for not noticing his greatness! I was just busy watching him crawl out from beneath a turtle!" Naruto yells in response.
"He did not crawl out!" Lee shouts back, making Amaya lose her resolve. A snort erupted from her, forcing the brunette to cover her mouth as giggles quickly followed after.
"Give it a rest, Lee." Gai cut in, prompting the boy to turn and face him with a quiet "Yes, sir."
"Now for your punishment!" Gai exclaimed suddenly, punching his student in the face. "You little fool!" He yelled as the boy was sent flying backwards, the sight instantly stopped Amaya's laughter while earning cries of surprise from her teammates as they watched.
Lee lands on the floor in a heap, prompting Gai to walk over and kneel beside the boy. "I'm sorry Lee, but it's for your own good." He apologized, his voice wavering with emotion as Lee slowly sat up on his knees.
"Sen-Sensei!" Lee murmurs as the two stare dramatically at each other, streams of tears flowing down their cheeks.
"Oh, Lee!" Gai cries as the background behind the two suddenly changes into one of a sunset.
"Oh sensei! I am so sorry!" Lee apologizes again as the group behind them stares on, dumbfounded.
"Alright. It's over. You don't need to say anymore." Gai replies emotionally as Lee glomps him.
"Sensei!"
"Lee!"
By this point both were sobbing as a giant wave crashes against rocks. As Naruto and Sakura made noises of disgust, Amaya and Sasuke stayed silent. The former looking extremely amused while the latter remained baffled. 'How could I lose to someone that lame!' Sasuke thought to himself.
"It's okay! It's only a phase!" Gai managed to say between his cries.
"I am sorry, Sensei!" Lee apologized for the umpteenth time.
Naruto made a face at the display before turning to his teammates with a slight embarrassed smile. "Actually, it's kinda sweet the way they are all huggy and stuff." He said, and Amaya had to agree.
"Eh?! You've got to be kidding! They're both totally crazy!" Sakura replies, giving Naruto a strange look as she pointed at the two sobbing ninja in front of them.
Amaya walked over and placed her hand on the blond's shoulder. "Don't worry about Sakura, Naruto. I agree with you completely."
"Maya-chan..." Naruto murmured weakly with a small sniffle.
"Naru-chi..." Amaya whimpered, her eyes filling up with tears.
Sakura stared at the two annoyed as they pulled each other into a hug, dramatically copying the two in the distance. "Oh, will you two cut it out!" The pinkette growled, bonking the two on the head, forcing them to separate, laughing.
They look back to the duo to see Gai place a hand on Lee's shoulder. "You're just caught in between. You're too old to be called a boy, and not quite yet a man." Gai murmurs solemnly.
"You are so good to me, Gai-sensei!" Lee replies in admiration.
"Now, take off! I want you to give me a hundred laps around the practice field, show me what ya got!" Gai orders.
Lee salutes. "Yes, sir! No problem!" The boy replies as the rest stare at the two surprised.
"Run into the setting sun! Run and suffer!" Gai continues dramatically, pointing into the sunset as Amaya sweatdropped. "But don't mess up your hair." He added, turning to give Lee and the rest a sparkling smile.
"Let us go!" Gai says again as Lee wipes his tears and returns the smile.
"Right!"
"Hey, wait a minute! We're not finished here! You guys can't just take off like that!" Naruto calls out.
"And what about the Chunin Exams? There's no time for fooling around!" Sakura adds, making Gai stop in his tracks and turn to Lee awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, right! I forgot about that!" Gai said, clearing his throat. "Lee, you not only disobeyed the rules against fighting, but you disrupted the Chunin Exams. I think that warrants a slightly more severe punishment! Don't you?"
"Yes, sir!" Lee replies, making the group stare at them blankly.
"Let's say, five-hundred laps! How does that sound?" Gai asked again.
"Outstanding, sir!"
"They're insane." Sakura grunts, earning nods from Amaya and Naruto.
"Probably, but never mind them, what's the deal with that turtle anyway?" Naruto asked, making Amaya facepalm.
"Saa~ Naruto..." The brunette murmured, catching the blond's attention. "Forget about the turtle." She orders as the blond nervously laughed.
Hearing their voices, as if he just noticed them standing there, Gai looks up and locks his gaze on the four. 'This must be Kakashi's squad. I'll check em out.' He thought to himself, freaking Sakura out as she noticed his intense stare.
"Argh! No! He's looking at us!" The pinkette cried, pulling at her hair.
"Tell me... How is Kakashi-sensei?" Gai asked with a smug expression on his face.
"Do you know him?" Sasuke asks in response, speaking up for the first time since his and Lee's little squabble.
"Do I know Kakashi?" Gai asks rhetorically, bringing a hand up to cup his chin. "Well people say... He and I are arch rivals for all eternity." He informed dramatically, making the group freak out.
"There's just no way!" Sakura and Naruto yelled in unison while Sasuke's eyes widened and Amaya deadpanned.
'You can't be serious...' The Minamoto thought dully, thinking of her sensei. Her cool, collected, and always calm sensei.
Seeing and hearing the groups reactions only riled Lee up more. "How dare you?! If Gai-sensei says it's true then--"
"Let it slide, Lee." Gai dismisses, cutting the boy off before continuing. "A ninjas actions speak louder than words."
Sasuke hums to himself as he stares at the two with narrowed eyes.
Suddenly, Gai is gone from his students' side and is standing behind the quartet, earning sounds of surprise from them as they spun around to face him. "My reckon, its fifty wins and forty-nine losses. Which is one better than his by the way." Gai brags, making the group blanch.
"What?!"
"Hah?! You're kidding! How'd he beat Kakashi?!" Naruto asked, staring at the Jounin wide eyed.
"The fact is, I'm stronger thank Kakashi. And faster." Gai stated, giving a sparkly smile.
'His speed is incredible! He's definitely faster than Kakashi. Is he even human?' Sasuke thought to himself, observing the green clad man.
"You see? Gai-sensei is the best there is!" Lee yells proudly.
"I'm sorry for the trouble Lee caused you. Look into my eyes and accept my sincere apology... Also notice my handsome manly features." Gai continued, sending another smile.
'He claimed he's better than Kakashi. Could that be true? Argh... I don't think he's making this up!' Sasuke thought, clenching his fist tightly.
"Lee, you should accompany these fine young ninja to the classroom. Right now." The Jounin advised, throwing a kunai at the garden windmill, knocking it away inevitably releasing its hold on the bandage.
'His hands!' Naruto thought to himself in awe as he focused on the scrapes and bruises on Lee's knuckles, before nudging the brunette beside him.
Amaya looked to where Naruto was motioning. 'With his hands like that, his training must be intense.' She thought to herself, impressed.
They were snapped out of their thoughts as Gai spoke again. "Remember, give it your best, Lee! Farewell!"
"Yes, sir!" Lee responds determinedly, wrapping the bandage back around his hand.
Soon enough, Gai poofs away with the turtle following shortly after. "Hey, Sasuke." Lee called out, prompting the Uchiha to turn to him. "Actually, I have not been totally honest with you. I said that I wanted to test my skills, and that is true enough, but you are not really the one who I wanted to test them against... I lied to you when we were fighting before. I told you I am the best Genin here, but there is another top ninja. Someone on my own team." As Lee said this, it jogged everyone's memory of the long-haired boy from earlier. "You were just practice, now you are a target. I will crush you! There you have it! Consider yourself warned." They then watch as Lee turns and runs off, probably to meet up with his own team.
"Oh, Sasuke..." Sakura murmurs, staring at Sasuke with concern.
"Meh. How about that? Looks like the Uchiha's aren't as great as everyone thinks they are." Naruto muses, somewhat tauntingly as he folds his arms behind his head.
"Naruto!" Sakura growls, glaring ferociously at the blond who wasn't bothered at all by her stare.
"Just shut up! Next time, I'll drive him to his knees!" Sasuke spat, glaring at Naruto before locking his gaze on Amaya as she laughed.
"Yeah right. Who just got his butt kicked?" Naruto asked rhetorically, looking in the direction Lee went.
"Stop it! What are you saying? Just cut it out, Naruto!" Sakura snapped angrily.
"You saw his hands, didn't you? When he took off the tape?" Naruto asked, shutting both up as Amaya crossed her arms. "I bet ole Bushy-Brows has been training until he drops. Day in and day out." He mused, causing a collective silence to fall on the group, before finally adding, "He trains harder than you. That's all I'm saying."
"Whatever he does, it has to be pretty intense for his hands to be that badly bruised and scuffed up..." Amaya added with a nod, uncrossing her arms to look at her own hands.
'Sasuke...' Sakura thought, looking at Sasuke who wouldn't reply to the duo's comments.
"Fine!" Sasuke finally snapped with a huff.
"Hm?"
"This is starting to get interesting! The Chunin Exams... I can't wait to see what's next." Sasuke added, making the three smile.
"Right!" Naruto cheered with a fist pump while Amaya and Sakura laughed.
"Let's get started! Naruto! Amaya! Sakura!"
"Yeah!"
