Howdy readers! With my awful home schooling work and those stupid testing over, I can finally find time to write for you! Yay! My summers goal is to write and submit at least five stories! Whoo! Don't worry, I'll update on Truth or dare sooner or later, but in the mean while, feast yours eyes on this!

"Mm." A muffled noise came from under a light blanket. "Whhhy." The person whined, throwing a fit under the covers. A pink head, belonging to Haruno sakura, popped out and slammed down onto the soft feather pillows. "What did I do to deserve this restless sleep!" She shouted, flinging her arms and legs around.
It had just turned three am, and sakura was in a drowsy but fully awake. She very sleepy from the twenty hour shift, covering for Tsuande, and stiff from chasing around little children to take there medication.
Sakura loved the night, she loved to sleep, and she LOVED to know that she could get long hours of beauty sleep. But tonight, even after three glasses of warm milk and a al least ten sleeping pills, she was awake.
As you could imagine, this made her very grumpy.
She smiled sweetly as she slowly sat up and took her pillow from under her head. Placing its soft fabric to her face she screamed.
"Ahh! Why night! Why!" She cried, throwing the pillow at the window. To her surprise, it flew threw the curtains and landed onto her balcony. "When...did I open my window?" She asked out loud.
Rolling her mint green eyed, Sakura stumbled out of bed and towards the window. Her white see though curtains gently swung around as the summer wind pasted by, blowing a dry air into sakura's cool room.
She stepped out of her window and bent down to pick up the pillow, but stopped and decided other wise. Instead, she used it as a seat and gazed up at the large full moon.
"It's so close tonight." she mumbled, her short petal pink hair dancing around her face as her head tilted upwards at the bright yellow moon. She sighed and leaned against the wall, stretch out her legs to let them dangle freely over the open side of the small balcony.
"Mr sad man, if your out there, could you tell me why I can't sleep?" She asked. "Nothing? hm. In the female version of the song 'Mr. sand man', you gave the girl her perfect man. so," Pause, "If you wouldn't mind...could you do me a favor? I want my perfect man, some one strong enough to protect me, I don't was some wuss hanging around. He also has to be sweet, I already had my far share of cocky jerks. And I want him to understand me, so make him smart. so please, if you have any time, send me a cute boy. I know it's just a silly song, but still, it's nice to have a little hope."
Sakura smiled and closed her eyes, her legs stopped moving around as she fell into a deep, deep sleep.
Even though Mr. sand man wasn't there, someone just as noisy and successful was.
His sister Temari.
Temari was on her way back to sand after delivering a scroll to Leaf's Hokage when she happened to stumble upon little Sakura's house. After hearing Sand man, and being the big sister she was, she decided to listen to Sakura's plead.
"Well, well, well. It seems Haruno needs a little help in her love life." The blond mumbled, a evil smile tugging at her lips. "I do need to pay her back for helping Kankuro, so why not." She then clasped her hands together in a quiet clap. "Speaking of Kankuro, he IS looking for a girlfriend!"
Before racing off back toward Sand, she took on last glace at the sleep sakura.
"Ah, she wouldn't be such a bad sister-in-law."
