Discussion
Sai tries to start up a discussion.
…
Yeah, you don't want to know how the hell I came up with this idea in the middle of a maths lesson...

Sai POV
"Balls." I said to Ugly and Dickless, trying to start up a discussion with them, like the book said.
The book said that it would help me make friends, if I started up interesting discussions.
The book said to say the first thing that came to mind, and turn it into a discussion.
So I did.
But the book was, apparently, completely and utterly wrong.
Ugly just stared at me with her big jade eyes, her face flushed crimson, and Dickless just stared at me in shock, white as a sheet. He looked rather queasy.
The book also said to make a joke or a comment to get out of awkward situations.
And so I abided by the book, like I always did.
"I was talking about basket balls." I said, flashing my signature fake grin, "What were you thinking?"
"I thought you were talking about the ones that shrivel up in extreme weather, dattebayo..." he said, turning back to picking out plants for the mission, still looking sick.
And there was an awkward silence.
I don't really like that book anymore…
"Balls?" Sakura managed to blurt out after a few minutes of very, very slow weed-pulling. Her face resembled that of a big fat tomato.
"Yes. Balls." I said casually, continuing to pull out the weeds. Dickless immediately covered his face with his mouth.
"I need to go…" he barely managed to mumble out, rushing inside the house, his face greener than the pile of weeds we had pulled out.
Ugly pulled out a really big, sloppy weed and threw it at my face.
"Hey, what was that for? I was just trying to start a discussion!" I said, wiping the plant off my face.
"Randomly saying 'balls' while me and Naruto were in the middle of a nice conversation is not starting a discussion. It ends already existing discussions, you know?"
"Yeah, well…" I said, bringing my hand to my chin, and staring at the ground. What could I say to that?
I took the book out of my front pocket for reference, but then Sakura took the book from my hands and threw it over to the other side of the garden.
"No, Sai. Just no." she said, glaring into my eyes in anger. I sighed and looked down at the dirt.
"Fine, fine." I mumbled, going back to pulling out tonnes of weeds.
Just that second, Naruto came back to the garden, wiping his lips on his sleeve, his nose wrinkled in disgust.
"Alright, here's your chance." Ugly said, nudging me with her elbow, "Start up a conversation with Naruto. Say something."
"Maybe later, when he's less pukey." I said, throwing the last of the weeds out.

Dickless got up and stretched.
"Alright, we're done, 'ttebayo!" he said, throwing his fist into the air. He then took off his gloves and garden coat, and threw them onto the floor beside him.
Hag and I repeated this action, going back into the house to receive their payment, and then walk together to the Hokage's Tower.
As we walked back, we walked in silence. Until…
Sakura POV
"Erection." Sai said bravely with a smile, trying to start up yet another discussion. Naruto, who was looking out to the sunset, suddenly turned around, stared at him wide-eyed, and fell over, looking rather green.
I groaned in disbelief, smashing my face into my palm.
"Sometimes, I wish I'd never bothered even getting up in the morning…" I mumbled, walking on to the Hokage Tower while Sai was at Naruto's side, helping him throw up for the second time that day.

Failfailfail.
I know I deserve them, but no flames, please…
I mean, Jeebus…
I think this is my worst piece of writing ever…
I know I already used this 'please review' thingo, but…
Review or I poke out your eyes with a spork! :(
