Hey, guys! New fic! This one will probably be from seven to nine chapters, okay? I'm finally publishing an A/U! I have a ton of alternate universe all written out, but I'm too lazy to type them sometimes (-cough- most of the time.) Forgive me! Well, I hope you enjoy this one.

Uchiha Sasuke sat on his bed and snapped open his laptop, which was dark blue, the same as everything else around his room. He brushed some black bangs out of his eyes and logged in once the device had booted up. The young man brought his mouse up to the address bar of his Internet welcome page, and scrolled through URLs.

Fanfiction(.)net

He clicked.

His account page came up and he moved his mouse over 'Favorites'. He'd been relishing the thought of coming home to an afternoon of reading Fanfics ever since that morning, when his fan girls had chased him for an especially long time, and he was five minutes late to his first period class. Glaring at the memory, he clicked on his favorite c2 community and began browsing on his favorite anime, Fullmetal Alchemist.

Everything else - none of your business.

Huh, here was a new one. It was a romance of his favorite couple, Riza and Roy. So what if he was a guy? He liked reading romance. No, he was not a perv and no he was not gay. So the question is, why does Uchiha Sasuke like romance stories? Girls had always bothered him because they thought he was attractive. They professed their silly, stupid loves and desires to him on a daily basis (while they chased him, mainly.) But he saw there was really no truth, no actual love behind those words. Just stupid crushes.

But these romance fics showed him the real deal; something truly unique indeed. They showed him how great bonds with other people could sometimes be. They made great stories, but one thing felt always felt very obvious and clear, inevitable, to him: his life could never be like that. Sasuke didn't bother to waste time dreaming; he knew reality. Still, the stories were great to read.

Back to this fic. He finished reading and couldn't help but smile. It was so pure and sweet. It was just what he thought maybe love really was like.

Shaking his head at his stupid thoughts, he clicked 'favorite story' and typed out a review.

Send.

Ten o' clock at night, and Haruno Sakura was running to her computer. She jumped into the desk's chair, which banged into the wall and knocked a picture or two off the wall, but she didn't care. She got online, ignored her e-mail and IMs, and clicked on the Fanfiction(.)net button on her favorites bar. She typed in her e-mail and password, and leaned back in her chair as she waited for the page to load, bouncing up and down uncontrollably with pent-up excitement.

Hey! I'm a new author! I made the account for my birthday. I love Fanfiction! It is practically the core of my existence! I love reading and writing romance, and I do go overboard sometimes, but that's why it's Fanfiction! We can write about whatever we want without worrying! I am so excited! That's all I can think of right now. Thanks!

Sakura navigated her way to the 'Stats' bar. Last night, she'd published a new story. It was her most romantic one yet, and she was dying to see how popular it was. She'd let her best friend, Ino, read it yesterday, on Wednesday. All week, since Monday night when she'd written it at two in the morning rather that study for her HUGE history test (don't worry -she still aced it) the story had never left her side. Sakura had carried the practically sacred, dark blue spiral notebook with her to every class, hugging it to her chest all day, giggling with glee as her thoughts went to Fanfiction. She would carefully, sneakily open up the notebook and read through class, even though she'd done that enough to know the story by heart. Sometimes she got busted and yelled at a lot. Sakura rolled her eyes just thinking about it. She couldn't wait until eleventh grade next year - upperclassman high school. And Upperclassman high school teachers were the next thing to college professors - they wouldn't mind her Fanfiction, so long as she kept her grades perfect, which she did. At least it was March - the school year nearly over with.

Anyway, back to the stats.

Hits - 82

reviews - 7

A smile spread across her face, lighting up her beautiful features. Seven reviews in only a day - she felt like Super Author. Sakura was a dreamer.

She hit the review bar and drank in the calls of 'awesome!' 'aww! so cute!' and 'cookies to you!' with satisfaction. The fourth review in particular caught her eye:

onyx-eyed-avenger

I thought that was a really good fic, even though it was romance and I'm a guy. Nice work. I'm favoriting it.

Sakura's eyes lit up at the review. It was certainly an unusual one. She minimized the window, forgetting about it, and started work on her latest multi-chapter.

She couldn't get that last review out of her head. She brought up the guy's profile again, read it again, then pressed 'Review Reply'.

Sakura sat at the keyboard, wondering what she could say that wouldn't make her look like a stalker or a crazy person... or a crazy stalker person... or a crazy person stalker. Whatever. Like it mattered. She was just doing this on a whim anyway. It's not like she would ever see him in her life.

To: onyx-eyed-avenger

I like your avatar. Onyx is a cool stone; rubies and emeralds are my favorites though. Thanks for reading my story. I'm still new. It means a lot.

There. She pressed send.

There's chapter one. How's that for an intro? I'll try to update as soon as I can.

Read and review please!

You all get lots of brownies for being awesome.
