Sakura grabbed his hand, his fingers sticky from syrup and jam. He looked up at her and grinned mischievously. "It will probably say we'll get married and live a hundred years with one trillion kids and a duck named Sasuke." Naruto licked a crumb of pancake off his upper lip as Sasuke kicked his leg.

"Pffft. Like I'd ever marry you, idiot." Sakura smiled. "And you can't tell all that just by looking at your palm anyway, just half of it." She put her elbow on the table as if they were going to arm wrestle, peering at his crusty hand. "Well, you'll live a long time, but you're terrible with money-

"True." Sasuke grunted.

Naruto glared at him. "Shut up, teme."

"And you're a very happy person…with a rich love life-

"Hehe!"

"But low intelligence."

"Hey!"

"Maybe this palm reading thing isn't bogus after all."

Naruto raised a handy syrup bottle threateningly. "I swear I will-"

"Guys!" Sakura interrupted. "I will never take you to IHOP again if you even aim at that him, Naruto Jiraiya Uzumaki! Sasuke, if you don't stop antagonizing him I will eat your last pancake."

Sasuke promptly shoved the entire pancake into his mouth, magically not getting anything on his face or shirt.

Sakura banged her head against the table. "I hate going places with you people. It always turns into a war."

Naruto patted her back soothingly while he licked his fingers. "I love you too Sakura-chan. And teme loves you too, even though he will never say it because he's a teme."

Sasuke blushed (or what passed as blushing on his stoic face) and attempted to stab his friend in the hand with a fork.

Ahh, life is beautiful.
