Ino Yamanaka sits in a field blowing bubbles, and she pops them with a dainty finger, one after another. She is bored out of her mind, and Shikamaru Nara sits beside her. The only reason Shikamaru is sitting up instead of lying down on the grass like he always does is because Ino hit him with a stick. He decides he can see the clouds fine sitting.
With nothing to do, it's no wonder that Ino's mind starts to wander. She thinks about the party coming up in a month and a half, her friends' love lives, what she's going to wear tomorrow, and whether or not her best friend will get asked by her ex-crush to the dance next week. As she blows a particularly long chain of bubbles and pops them, she starts to think of the bubbles as goals.
Ino decides blowing a bubble is like setting a goal. She creates them and decides whether they will be big or small. That's close enough, right? So she blows bubbles, gives a dream to each one and pops each of them, imagining the popping motion to be accomplishing the goal, reaching her dreams.
There is no wind today, so she can easily reach all of the bubbles.
Then she blows a bubble that floats just a little higher than her arm can reach.
(I am going to find someone I love.)
Ino thinks it would be too troublesome to get up just to pop a single bubble—she has been hanging around Shikamaru way too long—so she lets her arm drop and gets ready to blow some more bubbles. (She is a little disappointed, yes, but these are just bubbles, after all.)
Her actions don't go unnoticed.
Shikamaru, her thinks-everything-is-troublesome, wouldn't-get-up-unless-someone-threw-a-kunai-at-him-and-maybe-not-even-then, lazy ass teammate gets up.
He pops it for her.
