"Mom!" I yelled from my room. "Is dinner ready yet?"

"Yeah! Almost done!"

I groaned and rolled off my bed, walking downstairs to the kitchen. I went over to the counter and laid my elbows on it, placing my face in my hands. Mom looked over from the pan and smiled.

"I can see you're bored."

"Yup."

She looked back at the pan and said, "Ashelza... If you want, you can invite Taylor over. I can make extra food."

"Really Mom! Thank you!" I screamed with joy and hugged her. Taylor was my best friend since like... Ever!

I called her and she said she'd be here in an hour. Sure enough an hour later, she rang the doorbell.

"Hey!"

"Hey! Tay-Tay!" I said pulling her into a hug. " I haven't seen you in FOREVER!"

"I know!" Taylor was just a bit taller than me and super nice. She had silver hair and always wore black dresses. Her eyes were silver and sunset yellow.

My hair was brown with purple highlights, completely natural. I wore mostly purple and black with punk high tops. We both also had matching hairpins we wore everyday.

"Hey guess what we're going to do tonight!"

"Naruto?"

"Naruto!"

Naruto was our absolute favorite TV show. Every time we got together we would watch it all day. Come to think of it... I think that was the first memory at the start of us.

Flashback

Getting up from my seat I went to get the next volume of Naruto when I saw a hirl with silver hair standing in front of my favorite manga.

"You read Naruto too," I asked her. The girl turned to me and smiled.

"Yeah! Personally I think Neji is my favorite," she said.

"How so?"

"I mean, I feel bad for him. He never asked for any of that to happen to him. He doesn't even realize why his dad did what he did," she explained.

"But he's a big jerk to everyone," I said.

"That's only because he doesn't know the full story. If you found out your dad sacrificed his life without knowing the full reaseon, wouldn't you be angry and resentful too?"

"I can see where that's coming from," I admitted after a moment. "But I wouldn't spend my time being angry. I'd grow stronger, to protect my friends and family."

"So who's your favorite," she asked.

"Mine would have to be Kiba, or Sasuke. I get that he doesn't have the whole sob story. I like him because he's always considering others. I feel like, during the Chunin exams, he knew that by teasing Naruto then it would make the boy fight harder. It's like he never cared about advancing. Sasuke on the other hand, is a different story. I don't like him because he's cool or popular. I like him because, even though he never shows it, he cares about his friends and family. When Haku was throwing the needles, he jumped in front of Naruto. He sacrificed himself so Naruto could fulfill his dream. He's constantly saving his team mates and friends, even if he makes up excuses on why he did it. Plus, he's really cute. I just hate that he goes with Orochimaru," I told her. "I'm Ashelza by the way."

"Taylor," she giggled. "And I'd have to say you're in love with Sasuke Uchiha."

"I'd have to say you might be right," I laughed.

We ran upstairs, to my room, and jumped on the bed. I grabbed the remote and turned it to adult swim. They had started back at the beginning of the series.

"God I love this show!" I told her.

"I know! I can't believe its 12 already!" I turned over and looked at the clock. Taylor was right.

"We should probably go to sleep."

"To sleep!"

"Weirdo. I'll see you in the morning." Taylor said before falling asleep. Not even bothering to reply I drifted off thinking about Naruto.

I slowly woke up to a bright light. I felt my surroundings and noticed it was... Sandy? I shot up and looked around to see trees. No wait, I was in a forest. 'How did I get here?' I thought to myself. I spotted Taylor sprawled on the ground beside me.

"Hey Taylor," I said. I got no response from her. Crawling over to her I started poking her head.

"Hey Taylor," I yelled dragging out the words.

"What," she yelled back. She rolled over onto her side, looking around. Almost immediately she shot up and yelled. "Hey! Your hair looks different!"

"Really!" I lifted my hair up and found that it was purple. My favorite color! I looked down to see that I was wearing a tank top type thing with mesh underneath, and a black skirt. I also had black high heeled boots.

"Hey you have a tattoo on your face!" I screamed. "It's a butterfly!" The tattoo on Taylor's face was the color of a phoenix outlined in silver.

"Oh my gosh! I love butterflies!" she yelled. "Wait!" She dig around in her bag and pulled out a mirror. "Look at yourself!"

I stared at the mirror in amazement. My purple hair now had gold highlights. I had a flower hairpin on the opposite side as Taylor's. I looked at my face and saw a tattoo. Only mine was a pink and purple wolf with a gold outline.

"We look awesome!"

I looked around and asked, " Where are we anyways?"

"I was going to ask you that! I think we're in a forest but we were in your room when we fell asleep."

"Well your not in your guys' room anymore!" A voice said as a figure dressed in black jumped down from a tree. There, standing in front of us, was none other than the famous knuckle head ninja. Our mouths dropped as Taylor and I gave each other the 'Oh My Friggin God' look.

"I'm Naruto by the way," he said doing a little half wave.

"Ashelza."

"Taylor."

"Well Ashelza and Taylor, nice tattoos." We both blushed at his comment. "You guys must not be from around here so I'd better show some hospitality," he said. He started walking away but noticed we were still on the ground. "Well? You coming?" Blinking, we grabbed our stuff and followed him.

We approached a huge gate with a familiar symbol.

"You guys are going to love it here," Naruto said with a smile.

"I think we are," Taylor said.

"That's not suspicious at all," I whispered as she shrugged it off.

"So..." Naruto started. "Where are you guys from?" Taylor and I looked at each other but I spoke up first.

"We're not from a specific village," I laughed slightly.

"Are you guys Shinobi?"

"Maybe," Taylor said smirking.

"You two are weird!" he said putting his hands behind his head.

"Thanks what a great first impression you're making."

"You haven't seen weird til I start singing and dancing... Hey, that sounds like a good idea. AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME, WE WON'T BE STARVING, WE WON'T briihfgdfv..." I yelled but was cut off by Taylor's hand over my mouth.

"Now you got her started," she groaned. Naruto face-palmed but continued.

"Do you guys need a place to stay? My apartment isn't too far from here."

"Yeah, sure." I turned to Taylor and we did a little happy dance.

Taylor and I say on the floor in Naruto's living room.

"So... We're in Naruto land," I said.

"Hey, you think we can do ninjutsu and genjutsu?"

"Maybe. But that would be freakin awesome!"

"What are you guys talking about?" Naruto asked coming up behind us.

"Oh just ninja stuff."

"So you guys are ninja."

"Yeah! But we can't do much ninjutsu."

"Hey I'm training today. You guys want to come?"

We looked at each other for a moment and I said coolly, "Yeah... Sure." On the inside I was freaking out.

We walked back through the streets until we were back in a forest area. I was getting bored already.

"Are we almost there?" I yelled to the heaven.

"We're so bored," Taylor yelled and we anime fell.

"Yeah... We're almost there. Stop being so dramatic."

I pouted and crossed my arms. We came into a clearing in the Forest of Boredom and I dropped down, kissing the ground.

"Oh sweet freedom!" I yelled.

"We were only in there for a few minutes," Naruto sweat-dropped. I heard someone clear their throat. I lifted my head to see one of my favorite characters EVER!

"Hello everyone."

"Sorry we're late Kakashi-sensei."
