The couple before us didn't seem to have much luck with the fortune teller machine. They have had to of spent over 5 dollars trying to get a decent fortune from the machine, but from where Naruto and I stood, we could tell the fortunes either 1. Didn't make sense, or 2. Wasn't what they wanted to read.
They had tossed all their fortunes down after gaining at least 10 of them, 50 cents per fortune, 5 dollars spent. That was a lot of fortunes.
I watched as they moved away, the male was obviously angry, having listened to his girlfriend about spending 5 dollars to get atleast one good fortune but failed. Now, it was our turn.
I watched as Naruto grinned at me. His hand grasped my arm and pulled me towards the fortune machine, pointing a finger at the ugly looking gypsy behind the glass casing. Its eyes had been painted a venom color which led me to think just how horrible the paint job actually was. It looked as if the fake man doll belonged more at a horror house than telling disbelieving fortunes to adults and young teens.
Of course, that's what I thought. Naruto always loved playing these sort of things. If it wasn't going on roller coasters, or shooting fake ducks with a bebe gun, it was wasting money on stupid fortune telling machines that would reduce a baby to tears just by its horrible paint job.
"Oi, Sasuke. Come on, give me a dollar!"
I turned my attention to the blond dobe at my side as he continued to grin at me. This led me to give a sigh and I dug down into my wallet and huffed over the single. His face never seemed to change. It always beamed happily. I don't even remember a single time I saw him sad.
"What do you think we'll get?" Naruto questioned me.
I paused and looked at him before I lazily gave a shrug of my shoulders.
"How the hell should I know, idiot."
Naruto stuck out his tongue to me and I looked just as he slid the dollar into the machine's slot. The machine, like before to the previous couple, moved its hands over the fake crystal ball, the smoke and glowing lights inside repeatedly glowing just before out popped a fortune near the bottom.
It didn't give back the other 50 cents. Which pissed me off.
"Great, moron. We get a shitty fortune and it ate my 50 cents while at it."
I heard him huff and his elbow nudged my side.
"Whatever, teme."
He bent down to grab the fortune and flipped the white card around to view the text on the other side. It's text engraved with gold ink. I acted as if I didn't care what it said, but of course, I was curious to see why Naruto had stared at the card intently.
"What does it say? Do we have 7 days to live?' I couldn't help but give a tease. Naruto always hated that movie. And then, I looked down and peered at what the card had imprinted.
It read:"The two of you are destined to be together, forever."
Naruto took it to heart. I thought it was a joke.
That was 10 years ago.
