Title: Good Friends and Best Friends
Summary: The difference between a good friend and a best friend is within their actions.

Ok I know what some of you are thinking, TwilightRaver...Go update Final Summer...Well I will...Eventually. But I couldn't resist but do this. I've always gotten these from friends and what not, but I never really did much but just pass them on after reading them. So I decided to use each one of these instances and relate them to Naruto characters. This was all in fun, no way am I trying to bash any of the characters. So just enjoy ok! =)

Disclaimer: I do not Naruto, and be happy I don't...

One)
A good friend will tell you what you want to hear.
A best friend will always tell the truth.

Sakura glanced at herself in the mirror. She really liked this dress but…She wasn't so sure about it. Walking out of the dressing room she turned to look at her friend who was looking for her own dress for this extravagant party.

"Ne, Hinata-chan…Do you like this dress?" Hinata turned to look at the dress and after a few moments of having Sakura turn around she nodded.

"I really like that dress Sakura-chan. I think you should get it." Hinata said with a smile. Sakura smiled back. Hinata was a good friend, but she could be saying that just to be nice.

"Sakura that dress is a hideous color. Get another one." Sakura turned to look at her childhood friend leaning against the door of one of the dressing rooms.

"Really Ino?" Sakura asked. Ino nodded.

"Truly…It's not flattering at all, for your skin tone. Seriously, get another one." Many would have seen this are being mean, but Sakura knew better…This was her best friend after all.

Two)
A good friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A best friend seeks to help you with your problems.

Sasuke glared at the ceiling as his pink haired friend found him, to talk about his problems. He didn't need to talk about it.

"Sasuke-kun, you can talk to me about your problems, I'm your friend." Sakura said. Sasuke knew she meant well, but talking about it would not help his situation.

"Sakura-chan! Sasuke-teme!" The two turned their attention to the person that was running up to them.

"What is it Naruto? Can't you see we're busy?" Sakura asked annoyed at him for interrupting them and at Sasuke for not talking to her.

"I need to borrow, teme." Sasuke raised an eyebrow…He was not an object. Sakura sighed and looked at the clock.

"It doesn't matter…I'm running late anyway. Bye Sasuke-kun. Bye Naruto." She said getting up and walking away. Naruto sat across from Sasuke in the seat the Sakura had left opened.

"Tch. Don't tell me you want to talk about my problem, dobe." Naruto smiled at him.

"As if, teme. I'm not here to talk about it." Naruto said. "We're going to brainstorm some ideas to get you out of this little predicament you've got yourself into." Sasuke sighed.

"That's talking, dobe." Naruto shook his head.

"There's one small difference…I'm actually helping you and not just retaining information. I'm with you all the way!" Sasuke shook his head this time a small smile on his face.

"Whatever you say dobe…So what do you got?"

Three)
A good friend will be there for you all through school.
A best friend will be there till the day you die.

Chouji sighed as he looked through his old yearbook. All the friends he made and it seemed like none of them were there for him anymore. They were no where to be found, all off doing their own thing. Never having the time to visit him, this shouldn't have been so hard seeing as he owned a top notch restaurant.

Suddenly the door to his apartment opened only to have his best friend Shikamaru walk in. He didn't have to look to know it was him; Shikamaru was the only person who didn't knock.

"Ugh, you're looking through that old thing again?" Shikamaru asked sitting next to his friend at the table. Chouji nodded before shutting it anyway. "Hey, don't get all depressed about that short of thing, it's too troublesome."

"Yeah, but you have to wonder why no one ever stays in contact and forgets about you after school." Chouji said. Shikamaru sighed and grabbed the yearbook from him opening it to the signature page.

"Not everyone forgets Chouji, when I wrote that…I meant it. Don't think that it's going to change now." Shikamaru said passing the book back to him. He read Shikamaru's farewell.

'I don't know why I'm doing this when I'm just going to be there for you until the day you die…or I die…It doesn't matter, both are too troublesome.'

Chouji smiled slightly. "Thanks Shikamaru." Shikamaru leaned back in his chair.

"Ne, whatever."

Four)
A good friend will bail you out of prison.
A best friend will be sitting next to you saying, "damn that was fun!".

Sasuke was let back into the jail cell after making his one phone call…Though he sure as hell didn't call his parents. They would have killed him through the phone. He sat down next to the blond that got them into situation they were in.

"So, teme…Sakura-chan is coming to get us?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded before leaning his head back against the wall and closing his eyes. "How pissed was she?" Naruto asked.

"She said something about letting us get raped." Sasuke said his eyes still closed though the look on his face was one of pure disgust.

"That is a possibility, that guy over there keeps checking us out…" Naruto mumbled. Sasuke cracked and eye opened to look at his blond friend.

"You know…I wouldn't even be in here, if it wasn't for you and your stupid ideas." Sasuke said sitting up fully. Naruto smiled that sunshine smile of his slinging his arm around Sasuke's shoulder.

"But you have to admit, Sasuke…That was so much fun!" Sasuke smirked some. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but it was fun.

Five)
A good friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A true friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

"Thanks so much Tenten for coming early to help me cook. I would have never finished any of this without your help." Hinata said stirring a pot of sauce. Tenten smiled at the young Hyuuga.

"Don't mention it; it's no big deal really." Tenten said. The doorbell rang and Hinata left the kitchen to go get it. Standing at the door were her other friends. Ino smiled and handed Hinata a bottle of wine.

"It's the best one I could find. I hope you like it." Ino said. Hinata took the bottle and smiled.

"Thank you Ino. I'll go ice it. Everyone please come in and make yourselves at home." She stepping aside letting in her dinner guest.

The night had gone smoothly and Hinata couldn't have been happier about that. The only problem was that there was so much to clean. She sighed as she thought about the long night she was going to have cleaning.

She walked into the kitchen only to freeze when she saw her friend washing dishes.

"Tenten, I thought you left…You don't have to clean." Hinata said. Tenten shrugged not turning around to look at Hinata.

"Ne, I helped make this mess…I should help cleaning it up. Besides, it's faster this way. You did say you had to work early tomorrow." Tenten said turning around finally.

"Thank you Tenten."

"Really…Don't mention it."

Six)
A good friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed.
A best friend asks you why you took so long to call.

Tenten sighed, she needed to talk to someone but it was late. She had a bad day and needed to rant to someone because sitting in her room staring at he ceiling just wasn't cutting it for her.

She flipped open her cell and looked through her contacts. She wouldn't call Ino…She'd chew her out. She wouldn't call Lee…He was cranky when woken up…Which was hard to believe by people who didn't really know the green clad boy. Finally she highlighted a name. Neji. Tenten thought about it before pressing the talk button.

The phone ranged twice before someone picked up.

"Hello?" The males voice on the other end was groggy and Tenten felt bad for waking him up, though it wasn't the first time.

"Neji, I'm sorry I woke you up…"

"Tenten…It's fine." She could hear the sound of his mattress moving and she knew he was sitting up. "Hn. I was wondering when you were going to call. It's not like you to take this long."

"You knew I was going to call?" She questioned. Tenten heard him chuckle and she knew he was shaking his head.

"Tenten, you ask that every time. What's bothering you?" Tenten was grateful to have a friend like Neji. He may have been cold hearted at times, but she knew no matter how late she'd call…He'd always answer.

So that's that, but there are about seven more instances that I have. If you really liked this...Let me know and I'll post up those other good friend/best friend moments. ^^

You know what to do! Review loves! =)
