Chapter 1: Pinky and the Brain
Beep Beep BeepA young woman bolted from her bed, thinking she was late to work, again… But to her surprise, it was the irritating trash man outside her apartment building. She rubbed her arms, it was freezing! She quickly dashed to her thermostat.
"Stupid thing isn't working again." She growled.
She opened the thermostat and tapped the tube of mercury, instantly the heater was on. Her cell phone began to ring; she picked up her old brick of a phone, hey not everyone has money flying out the wah zu, and flipped the monstrosity open.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hey Temari!" came the voice, a little to cheery for Temari to handle. "You will never believe who called me this morning!"
"Sakura… do you know what time it is?" Temari said while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Don't beat around the question!"
"Who?"
"Piggy! She called and was like Oh my god…" all Temari heard was blah blah blah. "I can't believe she had the audacity! Errr!"
"Ino called?" Temari asked, while making herself a cup of tea.
"WHAT!" Sakura screamed, "You weren't listening to me!" Temari's mug shattered upon hitting her kitchen floor. Well at least she had a sip…
"If Ino called I really don't care." Temari said with a little too much emotion in her voice.
Sakura knew what her best friend was thinking about, but decided it was best not to bring up old memories. "Hey Temmy Bear, you want to meet up for coffee before work?"
"I really need a new nickname." Temari laughed gently. "Sure I will meet you there in a hour."
"Ok, love you sweetie!" Sakura said in a sickening sugary voice.
"Love ya too, bye."
"Bye!"
Temari closed her phone, and headed to the bathroom to take a long hot shower.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wiping of the steam from her small medicine cabinet mirror, Temari looked at her reflection. She was pretty. Not gorgeous, or even head turning, just pretty. But she was never one to care about her appearance.
She plugged in her hairdryer, drying her golden waves of hair completely, brushed it, and put it in a tight teacher bun. She opened her sliding door to her closet, grabbed a knitted white dress and her black leggings. Getting dressed as quickly as possible, she scrambled out the door. Only to return to but on her black high heel boots and grab her purse.
She walked down the Saint Markston Street, surveying all the shops opening up; she waved at them and put on her cheerful smile. She turned the corner onto Grand Avenue and entered the small brewery.
Temari scanned the room until she saw her pink haired friend. She walked over and sat down. "Good morning Pinky."
"You too Brain." She giggled, "Gee Brain what are we going to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"
"Narf!" The girls giggled together. "We need to stop doing that."
Temari pouted, "But I love Pinky and the Brain, and it suits us so well!"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Maybe you, but not me I am not insane."
Just then, a tall, well built, and utterly yummy man walked in. Sakura's jaw fell to the ground and rushed beside him.
"Not insane, huh?" Temari mused. Sakura had convinced the man to come sit with them.
"Temari, this is Sasuke. Sasuke this is Temari." Sakura giggled, lipped the words sexy, and sat down.
"So girls, what occupation are you two into?" Sasuke gave a tight lipped smile. He was very yummy, dark black spiked hair, with piercing onyx gaze.
"I am a model." Sakura said pushing her chest out, Temari practically gagged. "And Temari here is an artist and repairs old paintings."
Sasuke looked at Temari, with a face that would make most girls melt into a puddle. But then again Temari wasn't most girls. "Really that sounds fascinating."
Temari looked at Sakura's hurt expression and sighed. "Not really, after awhile it is all the same thing. But Sakura's line of business is really sensational."
Sasuke cocked his head at the pink haired girl. "What company do you work for?"
Sakura blushed, "Victoria's Secret, but right now I am having Temari do a painting of me."
"Cool." He said and gave her body a second looking over.
A waiter came over; he was a cutie pie too. Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall, with a brilliant smile. "Hey, I knew I heard Pinky and the Brain today!" he chuckled.
"God! Naruto! Why do you have to be so embarrassing!" Sakura covered her face with her hands.
"Good morning Naruto, how's your morning been treating you?" Temari asked with a smile.
"It has been very good, specially now that I have seen the two most beautiful women in all New York City." He had a big grin plastered to his face. "Can I get you guys anything this morning?"
"Yeah, you can." Sasuke said curtly, and Temari gave him a disgusted look. "Coffee, decaf, and don't screw it up."
Naruto's smile disappeared, and his eyes boar into the table.
"Naruto, I will have my frap." She giggled, while ogling Sasuke.
Temari was furious! Not only at the fact that Sasuke had said that, but Sakura didn't even stick up for Naruto!
"I will have my green tea, and I hope you hock a luigi in his decaf." Temari said glaring at Sasuke.
Naruto smiled, and Sasuke looked up astonished. "I will be right back with your orders."
"What did you just say to that?" The once yummy looking man, in Temari's eyes, he was nothing but another disgusting pig.
"His name is Naruto, not that, for one. And unless your deaf, I expect that you heard what I said perfectly well."
"Temari! Stop it!" Sakura wailed. Temari glared at Sakura, and shook her head.
Naruto came back swiftly, and dropped off their orders. "I hope you folks enjoy it."
Temari watched Sasuke inspect his coffee. "Don't worry, Naruto would never do something like that. No matter how mad he is."
Sasuke scoffed and took a sip, the coffee was perfectly ok.
Temari stood up, "I am leaving, Sai will kill me if I am late again. Bye Pinky and Map." And with that, she scurried out the brewery with her drink.
"Map?" Sasuke asked.
"Men Are Pigs." Sakura said and sighed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temari went into the art gallery, where her boss Sai was waiting, gazing intently at his watch.
"Temari, your just on time, lucky girl." He looked up with a big tight lipped smile.
"Yes sir, I will go in the back and finish Mrs. Aburmanes request." Temari said, Sai nodded, and shooed her away.
"That girl is going to be the death of me." He said and patted his forehead. He had no idea how right he was.
