Ally walked through Konoha, shuffling her feet through the snow. She absolutely loved christmas time, it was really the only time she was able to relax...outside of halloween of course. She decided to have her short black hair to be curled in the most adorable way and to wear a cute layered outfit. Ally wanted to feel cozy today so she wore her red, long sleeved shirt with a furry white, zip up vest and blue jeans that were tucked into her boots. Then to top it all off she had on a santa hat and some silver eye shadow on.

Yes, she was most definitely in a good mood today. In fact she was smiling while sing a christmas song to herself as she strolled down the link of stores.

" Ally!" Sakura called. Ally had stopped and noticed Sakura had on cute little outfit too. But she still chose hers over a spaghetti strap dress that looked like Santa's shirt and a pair of leggings. She was probably trying to show as much skin as she could to impress Sasuke, yet at the same time not turn herself into an ice sickle.

" Hey Sakura, Merry Christmas." Ally smiled.

" Would you like to come shopping with the rest of us?" Sakura asked, referring ' the rest of us ' to Sasuke and Naruto or the rest of team 7.

" Why not? Lead the way Sakura." She smiled. It had been 5 years since they all last had a time to bond outside of training, shoot they were all 17, maybe even 18 now. They still have enough time to goof off and act like 5 year olds still.

Sakura didn't need to be told twice, with in a second she had Ally running next to her. They laughed their butts off from watching each other trying to run in the snow. They couldn't tell if their faces were red because of the lack of oxygen to their heads or if the cheeks were just cold from the air hitting them. Either way they were having fun. When they were standing in front of the boys Ally had dropped to her knees while holding her stomach. She couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Sakura had snow piled on her face from her shoes kicking it up as she ran in front of her.

" Y-you meanie! It's your fault!" Sakura laughed as she pushed off the snow from her face with the back of her hand.

" Then don't run so slow Mrs. Claus!"

" Hey, I'm not as old as her. I just thought this dress was cute." Sakura said as she helped up Ally to her feet. Ally giggled a little bit longer before standing up straight and started to catch her breath.

" I can't believe how deep this snow is." Naruto stated.

" I know. I don't think I have even really seen it snow that much in Konoha though. It's a white christmas." Ally smiled.

" Well how about we get going on the shopping?" Sakura asked.

" Oh ya, sounds like sooo much fun." Sasuke groaned.

" Come on Sasuke, cheer up, it's christmas!" Naruto cheered.

" I think I know just the gift to get you Sasuke and you can't see it until later on! Come on, smile. You ARE celebrating christmas with your family, it's us. You're not alone." Ally pleaded. Sasuke stood there for a moment shocked. Ever since Itachi had left, he hated christmas because he felt lonely. He didn't have anyone to cuddle up with by the fire, no one to have come in a jump on his bed in 3 in the morning to open presents, he had no one to leave presents under his OWN christmas tree, no on to cook cookies for Santa or fudge to munch on with. He had no one, it was a shame to he had been wanting someone to see if his fudge was any good but he was too scared that someone would think that he was a sissy because the great Sasuke Uchiha could cook.

He didn't hate christmas itself, he hated feeling lonely. Sasuke was jerked out of his trance from Sakura tugging on his hand and forced him to follow them into a store. He stopped and looked around. Reefs were hung, a tree was decorated and rested in a corner and christmas songs were being played.

" Well we should start with Kakashi-sensei." Sakura stated.

" I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to get him another mask and one of his favorite books." Ally said as she grabbed and Icha Icha Paradise book and held it in her arms and grabbed some fabric that she could use to make a mask for him.

" I can get him some more gloves." Sakura listed.

" Hehe, I'm going to get him a book on how to ask a girl out." Naruto laughed.

" What does that leave me?" Sasuke asked.

" You can get him a ticket to that new movie that he has been wanting to see." Ally suggested.

" Yea! That would be perfect. But what do YOU guys want for christmas?" Sakura asked.

" I want a life time supply of Ramen!" Naruto smiled.

" I want to have enough money for the others Naruto. What about you Ally?"

" I don't really know, I haven't thought really thought about it. How about you Sasuke? What do you want for christmas?" Ally asked as she looked at Sasuke.

" Nothing you guys can get." He said as he walked off to look at the weapons. Naruto, Sakura and Ally frowned as they watched him. They all just wanted to give him the best christmas he could ever want, but Sakura and Naruto thought that if they could find the perfect gift for him that they would finally see a smile on his face and have him say Merry Christmas with cheer. But Ally's mind went some where completely different. She began to put the puzzle pieces together as they went around to each store to buy something for each of their friends. The whole time Sasuke stayed silent and bought one of two things for his team mates if he felt like it. But had the hardest time trying to figure out what to buy, so far he was clueless on what to even get Sakura. He stood there for a moment eyeing some kunai or a new pouch. But that wasn't exactly Sakura's taste, that was more his.

" I would get her a nice purse and some fragrances. She is into that stuff." Ally smiled as she walked up to him. Sasuke just gave a look, he was still pretty clueless.

" Maybe a red purse that she could use to hold her money of something. I wouldn't get pink though, it would just blend in." Ally explained as she pulled him in front of a rack of purses.

" This isn't exactly what an Uchiha would do you know." Sasuke said.

" Fine, I'll pick two and you choose from them. Then I'll buy for you and give it to you when I'm done. So which one?" She asked as she held up two very cute purses in each handed. He sighed and pointed to the one on his right and she smiled with a nod.

" That's what I thought to." She commented. Great, he could give good fashion advice to girls! Yay, just what he needed. Then they walked over to the body splash area and Sasuke tried to hide his face as well as he could and tried not to be noticed. Ally tried to convince him not to be embarrassed by it and explained to him how people have to be cautious with fragrances.

" So basically try picking something that is calm smelling right?" He asked.

" Yea. That is exactly it."

" Oh dear god, I'm starting to scare myself." He mumbled in shame. Ally just chuckled a little, earning a smirk from Sasuke that stayed hidden. He pulled out a candle and sniffed it, the let Ally sniff it.

" That smells wonderful, what do you think?" She asked.

" I think it's uh...smells nice." He struggled, trying to say something with out trying to sound girly. Ally laughed a little bit more before taking the candle and purse up to the counter and bought it.

" At least let me pay you back." Sasuke insisted.

" It's ok. Here, take it." She said as she placed the plastic bag into his hand. " Besides, the purse and candle are inside the bag, no one will see it."

A few minutes later Ally told them all that she had to go a store before it closed and took off wishing them all a Merry Christmas.
