A/N: I've been pretty mentally weighed down lately, and I wanted to make a randomly humorous story for Naruto. So I came up with this. These one-shots differ in length. Some of them are a page or two long, others aren't, but updating will be much easier for me - I work better with comedy updates than angst/drama/romance updates, for some reason. Maybe it's because it's easier for me to write comedy . . . er, I'll have to work on that. The plot is looking back on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's life as friends and everything they did together. I like the term 'In retrospect', so I came up with the title and plot for this story just from that. (Kind of funny, actually.)

So, this story will basically be:

-An AU

- Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke - friendship

- Sasuke/Sakura - romance

I just started writing one-shots based on things that happened in my life, and came up with this story! I take requests for topics, by the way. This will probably be a long story. I will update ASAP - review, please. I appreciate them! Thanks for everyone who has read and reviewed Ashes, by the way. Oh, and also, ANs will usually be in bold. I like doing that to make sure the story style of text is different from the notes. Oh well. I hope you like it . . . .

Standard Disclaimer - I do not own Naruto. Too bad for me.

In Retrospect

1: Love and Pillows

Sasuke sighed, staring at Sakura as she poked and prodded at the new pillow he had bought her from the store, the same pillow that she had finally chosen after surfing the Internet and home shopping network channels for days.

"Sakura -" Sasuke said, but she interrupted him (as usual) and said, "This isn't firm enough!"

With a small sigh, Sasuke said, "I'm sure that it is firm enough."

With a little annoyed throaty noise, Sakura rolled her eyes angrily and said, "See Sasuke, feel how soft it is!", and promptly took the pillow and thwacked it across his stomach, sending him falling on to the bed.

Who says that love and pillows are easy?

-Owari-

(Yes. this happened to me. Ha-ha . . .)

Review please! 5 or more? Thanks for reading!
