Back To Basics
"A collection of drabbles ranging from the classic crack!fic to the usual sweet and cuddly. For any author, it's like back to basics."
A Collection of Naruto Drabbles – By: Little Miss AiLy
A/N: Back to Basics, as soon as it popped into my head, I realized it was the perfect title for a collection of drabbles. Drabbles are just plotless stories simply made for the idea of things, something nearly anyone can write or think up without even meaning to. Being an authoress, drabbles are simply like going back to the basics of writing. So, enjoy and if you really do enjoy it, please encourage me with some reviews!
Disclaimer: Why would I be making things up if I were Kishimoto? Yeah, that's what I thought. I DO NOT OWN.

The First
Cookies for Gaara
Gaara's green eyes peered into the sky curiously as he wandered into the Konohagakure Children's Park. Why was he there? Because Yashamaru-san had told him to go there while he went to take care of something within the village. Why were they even in Konohagakure? Because Yashamaru-san had given him a small suitcase one morning and told him to follow him. It didn't matter why, as long as Yashamaru-san said so, and he did, so Gaara reacted. His brother and sister, Kankuro at five years old and Temari at six, were enjoying the playground already, when Gaara finally found his way in, staring strangely at the sky. A poor, confused, little 4-year-old, Gaara simply found his way to a tree and sat down, still staring dumbfounded at the vast expanse above him. Clouds were so much larger in Konohagakure, unlike Sunagakure where clouds were mostly miniscule dreams of possible, but most unlikely, rain. It didn't seem to rain here either, but at least it wasn't burning hot and sandy.
"Hey kid, you like cloud gazing?" The voice came from the other side of the tree which Gaara thus peered to. The boy sitting there had a strange ponytail, short and stubby, which was something Gaara noted along with the lazy eyes and nothing else.
"Um… Not exactly, because it makes me sleepy," replied the little child.
"Don't you like naps?" The boy had a look of half-shock yet still half-disinterest directed through one eye at him. The other eye was winked in a way showing a half-dose.
"Not really," Gaara said.
"How about cookies?" This came from another voice beside the first. This voice belonged to a rather chubby child, with the strangest swirls upon his cheeks. He extended a hand in which was held a sack of cookies.
"I like cookies," came the eager reply.
"Have one."
Gaara smiled and nibbled the cookie quietly.
Even eight years later when Gaara came back to Konohagakure, he noted to himself to not hurt those two too badly should he fight them in the Chuunin exam. He really did enjoy that cookie.

A/N: So this one sort of ran long, but it was cute wasn't it? Believe me, fast updates will be coming. I have plenty of ideas just waiting to be typed up. Now review away, please? Gaara, Shikamaru, and Choji may choose to share their cookies with you too.
