Hey everyone! I know I haven't written in a really long time (about a year or so, I know), but things have been super hectic.

So, some of you may have read my first fanfic, titled Best Friends Right? Well, let's be honest, it was my first, and it sucked. So I've thought of a slightly different plot line and I really want to start rewriting it. For those of you who have read it, let me know if you'd like me to keep the original story up. If not, I'll probably just delete it.

Here's the first chapter, read, review, and enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Regina Spektor's awesome song, "Fidelity". :)

-
"I never loved nobody fully, always one foot on the ground! And by protecting my heart truly, I got lost in the sounds!" Sakura Haruno was dancing around her room not-too-gracefully, singing along to her favorite song loudly into her microphone. Well, her hairbrush.

She heard a sudden sharp tap on her window. She walked toward her window and peered down from the second floor to see none other than Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki standing there. Well, Sasuke was standing, Naruto was fidgeting. He caught sight of her and waved, a large grin on his boyish face. She rolled her eyes and lifted up her window.

"What in the world are you two idiots doing?" she asked in a harsh whisper.

"What are you doing, Sakura? It's the last Saturday before summer ends and you're dancing around your room singing into a hairbrush! Yeah, I'm weird…" He retorted, mumbling the last part. Sakura's face turned pink as she shot Naruto a death glare. She spotted Sasuke shaking his head, smirking.

"Give me a minute, dummy."

She headed downstairs, her ponytail gently swaying as she hurried downstairs in pink monkey pajama pants and a purple tank top. She swung open the door, actually excited that her friends were here.

Naruto snickered when he saw her. "Nice outfit, Sakura—"

"SHHH! My parents are sleeping, doofus! Get inside." She ushered quietly. Naruto and Sasuke shuffled inside.

"Sit on the couch, I'll be back!" She sped upstairs, changed into fitted skinny jeans, a navy and white striped t-shirt, and some white flats. She quickly combed through her trademark straight pink hair and applied a tiny bit of eyeliner. She quickly walked out of her room, grabbing her gold heart necklace and sweater on the way.

She was a master at putting on jewelry while rushing downstairs (she'd had a lot of practice, being rushed for school every day). She was halfway down and about to put on her gray cardigan when she heard an abrupt and loud noise. It sounded like a bunch of little solid objects hitting the wooden floor. She groaned inwardly. Almonds.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a whisper.

"My parents are sleeping!" They couldn't wake up, she'd get caught! She found Naruto with a clear empty bowl in his hands, grinning sheepishly. There were almonds all over the floor, as she'd expected. She glared at him and snatched the bowl out of his hands.

"C'mon! I got hungry and they were on the coffee table!" he whined.

"These are for guests you dumba—""Sakura? Is that you?" She heard a groggy voice ask.

"DUCK!" She breathed harshly to the boys. Naruto just tilted his head to the side like a confused puppy, but Sasuke pulled him down and covered his big mouth.

"Hey, Daddy." Sakura said sweetly. She was an excellent actress when necessary.

"Hi, darling." He yawned as he shuffled to the fridge, not noticing that his daughter was dressed and ready to go out. Sakura took advantage of this window and quickly sat down on the couch, which had its back to the kitchen. She glanced at the boys, who were surprisingly still.

"Why are you up, honey?" He asked, rummaging for a snack.

"Oh, I just got hungry." She said innocently. He looked at her, his eyelids drooping.

"I see, the almond bowl is empty." He pointed out, yawning again. Sakura smiled and laughed. "Whoops."

"Okay, honey, just refill the bowl and get back to bed. See you in the morning." Sakura nodded, her smile not fading until he found his way back to his room. She giggled quietly, getting up. Sasuke followed suit, dusting himself off.

"Can we leave?" She heard Naruto ask. She looked down and saw him surrounded by almonds, stretching and getting ready to get up.

"NO." She said strictly, giving him the scariest look she could muster. She shoved the bowl into his hands.

"Almonds. Now."

Sakura laughed as she watched Naruto struggle to keep his balance. That roller coaster really got to him.

"Let's sit." She suggested, finding a nearby bench. At that moment Sasuke was walking towards them with a funnel cake in hand.

"Oh, Sasuke, you're the sweetest!" Sakura exclaimed, taking the delicious food item from him.

"And you're devious. Will you get rid of that picture of Naruto and I… you know." He mumbled. Naruto groaned.

"That was an ACCIDENT!" Sakura laughed at the two. Sasuke was never embarrassed, it was great!

"I'll think about it," Sakura said, popping a piece of the funnel cake in her mouth.

"Want some, Naruto?" she asked. Naruto almost gagged.

"NO!" he exclaimed.

"Sasuke?"

"Hn."

She giggled. She loved messing with those two.

When she finished the funnel cake and Naruto felt better, Sakura stood from her seat.

"To the ferris wheel!" she exclaimed. Sasuke smirked.

"You're not kissing me on a ferris wheel, Haruno." Sakura's face turned red.

"I said I wanted to kiss someone on a ferris wheel, not you! Hmph." She said, crossing her arms. Sasuke chuckled.

"You're a child." He commented.

"Am not!" she stomped her foot once. Naruto slid his arm around Sakura's shoulder.

"Come on, Sasuke. We all know it's me she wants to kiss on a ferris wheel." Sasuke rolled his eyes and got up, making his way towards the ferris wheel. Sakura shoved Naruto off of her and followed suit.

"I like them hard to get!" He shouted, running to catch up with his friends.

The line was a little bit lengthy, so they waited. Sakura sighed, her eyes finding their way to Sasuke, who had his hands shoved in his pockets and his onyx eyes blankly gazing ahead. He looked thoughtful. He was always thoughtful. Sakura just wished he'd talk, he was too confusing. They'd all known each other since sixth grade, she didn't see why he wouldn't open up and let go. Sakura never pushed him to talk, considering she didn't ever want to get on his bad side.

She then looked over to Naruto, who was chatting excitedly to Sasuke who probably wasn't listening. His blue eyes were always sparkling with excitement and energy. She smiled slightly. Annoying as he was, Naruto was a good friend. He knew how to get to you, in a good AND bad way. She then wondered if he had gotten to Sasuke in that way, because she surely hadn't. Hmm...

"Come on up, folks!" The employee working for the fair said, trying to get the group's attention. The three walked up, sat down and were soon high up in the air. Sakura smiled and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air and gazing at the beautiful lights below. Her hands touched Sasuke and Naruto's as she breathed in.

"Whoops, sorry," She mumbled, but they didn't respond. They were both also taking in the scenery. She looked at Sasuke. His eyes met hers. Sasuke wore his usual emotionless façade. Sakura tried a smile. He smirked and she braced herself.

"Trying to make a move, Haruno?" Naruto reacted almost immediately to this, pulling Sakura away.

"NO! Keep your paws off her!" Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't trying to touch her, idiot." Sakura bursted out laughing. The boys stopped their bickering and looked at her questioningly.

"Today was awesome. I love you guys, seriously." She said, smiling. Naruto grinned.

"Love you too, Sakura!" He exclaimed.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted. Sakura giggled. She'd take that as an "I love you, too, Sakura!"

Sakura leaned back and put an arm around Sasuke and an arm around Naruto.

She smiled, gazing up at the twinkling stars as she whispered, "Goodbye, summer."
