It just worked out that way.

By the Laws of Science, the girl always fell in love with the handsome, tormented, quiet boy. The boy who needed her to rescue him from his inner turmoil, the boy who was slick and cool and swept her off her feet. The bad boy who she knew, just KNEW had a sweet, sensetive side.
All the numbers added up. It was irrefutable.

Right?

Sakura had always envisioned Sasuke to be her Prince Charming Bad Boy. He was cool, smart, and classically, ruggedly good looking. He was number one in his class. Everyone fought over him, but deep down he only had eyes for her.

All the fairy tales said so. And they all had a happy ending. They all lived happily ever after.

Well, the beautiful princess was supposed to fall in love with the Knight in Shining Armor, right?

She was a smart girl. She knew her stuff.
She solved math problems without batting an eye. She could recite every last rule of Shinobi Conduct, verbatim, down to the punctuation marks.

So in a nutshell; she was always right.

But something happened. Something that didn't add up.

Sakura didn't fall in love with the Knight in Shining Armor... she fell in love with the Joker.

It was unexpected, to say the least. This was incorrect. Illogical.

But it had happened. She'd fallen in love with Naruto.

She fought tooth and nail to deny it. But, funny thing about love; it always knocked you down - hard - on your ass.

He wasn't smart. He was quite dumb, actually. He wasn't slick, or cool. He was clumsy, awkward, and uncool. And he wasn't the cliched, classically handsome dark haired warrior man; he was just the cute, blue eyed blonde kid.

So what was it that made Sakura fall in love with Naruto?

Another funny thing about love; it came out of no where, hitting you when you least expected it to.

There was something, though, that drew Sakura to Naruto. He wasn't a bad boy, no, but what was so great about bad boys? They're mean and treat you like shit; to hell with bad boys. Naruto was sweet, gentle, and loving.

So what if he was awkward, and not cool? Lame, and not slick? So what he wasn't ruggedly handsome, but just adorably cute?
Sakura found this to endearing, and Naruto was just thd biggest sweet-heart.

So forget the equations. Forget the cliched fairy tales.

This time, the princess runs off with the Joker, and she couldn't be happier.

Author's Notes:

Please excuse all the math and fairy tale puns. *Shudders*
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm desperately grabbing at topics. I'm not usually all that good with drabble/one-shots. They're not my forte.
Putting that aside, I want to say thanks for reading! It means alot to me.
