Summery: Acting's hard. Acting love is harder. But maybe not so hard when you really love them.

Notes: I want fluff. I can't find fluff. So I write it. Though it may suck, I CAN SAY I TRIED!! Ps. Anyone say anything about corny/cliché/mushy and I tickle. I already know it is. I am a bored tired teenager who wants her fluff!

Disclaimer: Yeah right. I'm only just gonna be 16 soon like I've written a whole series since I was 12 or whatever. And I have like 20 cents or something.

Scene:

A lone young women walked down an otherwise deserted beach. Her hair blew around her body in the light breeze, she looked out to the sea and a tear ran down her cheek. Her shoes were in her hand and she looked to have been walking for a while judging from the footsteps down the beach. The look on her face seemed to be as though she were thinking about something— or someone.

"I miss you so much." She whispered out to the ocean which only lapped against her feet in response.

"I missed you too." At hearing the deep voice behind her she spun around stunned. Standing in front of her was the man of her dreams, her high school sweetheart and her one true love.

"Y-you came back." She said her eyes brimming with tears. He only gave her a small smile before she ran into his open arms. They laughed as he spun her around, as he placed her back on the ground she looked up at him, her smile gone and replaced with a serious look.

"For good?" She asked cautiously looking him straight in the eye. He stared right back down at her, resting his forehead on hers before replying.

"For good."

As he moved to kiss her when a twitch of a smile begun playing on his lips, her cheeks started to puff out like she was about to laugh, his mouth looked like it was having a fight about whether to laugh or not, but the decision was made when the girl—

"CUUUUUT!"

The two actors burst out laughing and held onto each other for support before falling on the ground and laughing some more.

"Okay, take five everyone this could take a while." The director sighed, this was the twentieth take and every time they got to the kiss both of them started to laugh like there was nothing funnier in the world. She walked up to the two actors who were now trying to breathe calmly and not looking at each other as they would burst out laughing again.

"Sasuke! Sakura! What's so funny?" She asked in an agitated voice while glaring down at the two. They sat up, Sakura lent against Sasuke's shoulder still breathing in deep breaths. Sasuke looked up at her trying not to grin.

"I don't see what's so funny about this!" She almost shouted at them. "What is so funny about a kiss? Haven't you two kissed anyone before in other movies?"

Sasuke thought about it for a minute before looking at Sakura, they then looked up at her and shook their heads. The director sighed before a thought crossed her mind.

"Are you two shy about kissing each other?"

At this Sakura let out a giggle and Sasuke let out a short bark of laughter. The director looked at the curiously.

"We're best friends. I've known her since high school, and due to a couple of dares and such we have kissed, so we're not very embarrassed about it." Sasuke stated, before he and Sakura stood up and started brushing the sand off their clothes.

"Then what's so funny?" The director was about to pull her hair out in frustration.

"It's the whole….mood of it all." Sakura chose her words carefully while looking at Sasuke; they seemed to share a language of some sort.

"The mood?" The director asked confused, Sasuke nodded as Sakura continued.

"It seems so forced. I would kiss him just not like that. With all these people watching and waiting for your every move. And then if we messed it up we'd have to do it again and again and again until it was right. And I wouldn't be able to that because it has to seem sort of realistic. Kisses in real life are a one shot thing. If you get it wrong it doesn't matter you try again but maybe a different way. But in movies if you don't do it the right way then you have to do it the right way again and again and it loses the meaning."

The director sighed and realized that they weren't going to get that scene done today. She walked back over to the crew and explained what Sakura had said. Everyone sighed and started packing up.

"How are you two getting out of here?" The director sighed and walked back up to the two who were sitting in the sand again, leaning on each other and looking out to the ocean.

"We have a dinner party at a friend's house." Sasuke said before they both looked out to the sea again. The director sighed and walked away, young adults were hard to work with sometimes. Though she couldn't argue with the points Sakura made.

"I can't believe Naru-chan and Hinata have been married for a year already." Sakura sighed wistfully. Sasuke chuckled at the tone in her voice.

"You jealous of Hinata or something?" Sakura smacked his arm playfully, before replying.

"No, not of the fact that she married Naruto, I mean she's the only one who can control him—"

"You can control him, you hit him and he's out. I call that control." Sasuke put in before Sakura glared at him and continued.

"— that can control him without violence. I mean the fact that they have a good relationship and all."

"Oh. Point taken. But aren't you and….umm….What's-his-name going out?" He said, a slight bite in his voice, Sakura picked it up, but didn't say anything about it, though she inwardly smiled slightly.

"Sai. You know his name well enough. But no we're not. I haven't talked to him in almost a week and he seems to be spending a lot of time helping Ino out at her flower store. So I'm not sure what to expect, but I don't want to bring it up." She sighed unhappily as Sasuke bought a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"You've broken up why does it matter now?"

"Because I think he was cheating on me."

"But you need to ask them. If it's true and you don't find out someone else might…"

"I know, but what if it isn't true. Because I've been working on the movie and everything I haven't had that much time for him so I guess it's fair enough. But he doesn't even come to watch or anything, he hasn't even asked about what we're doing. I really liked him, and I know that it didn't work out but I still want us to be friends, though I don't think I'll be able to if he and Ino were already going behind my back and everything." She cried out before burying her face in his chest, her arms wrapping around his back as he pulled her into his lap and holding her close.

"It'll be okay, I'm here for you and so are Naruto and Hinata. You know that the Dobe, Hyuuga and I will kick his ass if he was cheating on you." Sakura laughed at what he said before wiping her eyes with her sleeve and hugging him again.

"Thanks Sasuke." She leaned up and kissed his cheek before looking at her watch. "We should go; they'll be expecting us at anytime." Sasuke nodded and waited for Sakura to get up before getting up himself.

"Come on, I'll race you to my car." He grinned before running off, Sakura chased after him yelling about him having an unfair start; he just laughed and kept running.

"Hi guys sorry we're late!" Sakura called out apologizing as she and Sasuke walked into the Uzumaki home. They walked into the kitchen and found Hinata cooking while Naruto was working out how to set the table.

"Hey Hina-chan!" Sakura said hugging her friend who smiled happily at her, but there was a slight sadness in her eyes. Sakura frowned slightly.

"What's up?" Hinata looked at her feet before mumbling about after dinner. Sakura turned around and was caught in a bear hug from Naruto.

"HI SAKURA-CHAN! HOW ARE YOU?" He yelled out excitedly, causing Sakura and Sasuke to wonder why he was so happy. She looked over at Hinata who was now smiling softly and nodding her head. They both looked back to Naruto, he put Sakura down and went to stand by Hinata who had moved away from the kitchen and was fixing the settings on the table. She smiled as Naruto came and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Naruto? Hinata? What's going on?" Sasuke asked as he and Sakura exchanged looks, before walking over to the couple.

"HINA-CHAN IS PREAGENT!!" Naruto burst out, the biggest smile Sakura had ever seen from him on his face. Both Sasuke and Sakura's mouths opened wide before Sakura ran and hugged Hinata and Naruto.

"Congratulations!" She gushed happily a huge smile on her face now as well. Sasuke and Naruto shared a man-hug, before both parting and muttering something about never again.

"Okay boys time for dinner, sit down and no fighting okay? Sakura you can help me in the kitchen." Hinata smiled as they walked into the kitchen and started to make up the plates, they talked about the movie and Sakura explained about the kissing scene.

"Well if you have the script you could umm….practise." Hinata grinned slightly; she and Naruto had been trying to get them together for the past year, now would be the perfect time.

"I mean we've kissed before but they were only short peck-on-the-lip like things, but they want a kiss, like….a full on kiss. And we don't do that! We're only friends." She ended sadly, Hinata was the one she had confided in when she had realized she was in love with Sasuke.

"Sakura, you my friend do not do the moping girl very well, which won't work out well for your acting. Just kiss him and see what happens, you have nothing to lose. I mean it's not like he'll start ignoring you, you love each other as friends, though maybe he also likes you as something more." Hinata said suggestively as Sakura smiled and thanked her.

"Okay let's get this food on the table."

--

While the girls were in the kitchen Naruto and Sasuke had sat down at the table and Sasuke explained the problem of the kiss scene.

"We're friends. We're only friends. She doesn't like me I'm sure of it." Sasuke sighed unhappily as Naruto thought about their predicament.

"I'm not sure of that." Naruto said as he fixed up his napkin, trying to fold it into a swan, though failing horribly.

"How would you know though? It took you ten years and one drunken night to work out that Hinata liked you back, so how would you know about Sakura?"

"Well, when we were in school and all she did like you I remember that much. She told me." Naruto confided in him.

"That was years ago."

"But, but, but, I haven't finished." He looked behind him, making sure Sakura wasn't behind him before continuing.

"She loves you. She told Hina-chan. Remember whenever it was that you two got into a fight about something? She came over here, burst into tears and they were speaking for hours. The next morning Hina-chan summed it up for me. She's in love with you Sasuke, and by the way you look at her, you're in love with Sakura." Naruto concluded as he ripped his napkin and Sakura and Hinata came in with the food. Throughout dinner all he could think about was Sakura. Finally it dawned on him; he was indeed love with his best friend.

Crap.
