Disclaimer: I DONNOT own Naruto, sadly. Something was messed with my Microsoft, so sorry if this looks messed up somehow. Anyway, enjoy 

A slim fifteen year old girl with pink hair stood in a park on a cold winter day. Her emerald eyes looked around slightly as she shivered.

"That baka Naruto. Always late these days. Grr, if he didn't have something to give me, I wouldn't be out here waiting." She fixed her scarf and hugged her jacket closer to her.

"SAKURA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!!" A loud, piercing shout rose in the winter air. A blonde haired boy her age came running up to her, waving some piece of paper in the air.

"Naruto!! BAKA!" She softly hit him on the head when he skidded to a stop in front of her.

Naruto rubbed his head slightly. "Heh heh heh. Here, Sakura-chan, I'm having a Christmas party, and all my friends are coming."

Sakura smiled as she read the invitation. It was sloppy, but at least she had gotten one. "Thanks, Naruto. ... Will Sasuke-kun be there?" She asked sweetly.

Naruto shifted a little. "Hmmm… Yeah. He will." He exhaled. "Hey look." He said, pointing at the small cloud of warm air he made as if he was five.

Sakura smiled a little at his immaturity. "That's cool." She said, even though it didn't really fascinate her. "Hey Naruto, I've got to go, but I'll talk to you later, okay?"

Naruto nodded sadly. "Okay, Sakura-chan…"

Sakura waved a small goodbye and then ran off towards her house.

"….Sakura, where are you going in such a hurry?" A familiar voice called out to her in a whisper.

Sakura turned quickly. To her surprise, there was no one there. "Uhh, Hello?"

She turned back around again, shrugging. "Whatever."

"Hey billboard brow, I'm talking to you." Ino was standing in front of her now.

"Ino-pig-chan. Were you invited too?" Sakura smirked lightly at her old friend.

Ino smirked back. "Of course I was. And I'll be the one under the mistletoe with Sasuke-kun, not you."

Sakura tried not to laugh. "Okay. See you there. And I'll so totally have Sasuke-kun." She said with a smirk. "Bye."

Ino stuck her tongue out. "Fine. Bye."

Sakura continued walking home. She read the card over once more.

It said:

You're invited to a Christmas party.

Where – Naruto's house

What – a party. Duh.

When – Christmas. Duh!

What to bring – Presents for your friends, and food if you want.

Hope to see you there!!

"BAKA! Forgot to put the time. Ugh, I'll just go whenever. 4:00 would be good." The bubblegum haired girl said. She quickly opened the door to her house and went to her room to bask in the warmth.
