Disclaimer: Obviously, as this is a fanfic, I don't own Naruto. Anything found in this story that does not exist in the real Naruto plot linethough, including the characters Alison and Michelle, I claim as my own.

This is a comedy/drama/romance story I've been meaning to write for a long time. Any pairings will be decided as the story progresses, though suggestions are welcome. Also, before I begin, I realize that there are some of you out there who may not like my writing style, or the angle I'm taking with this story. As much as I'd like constructive criticism, please do not simply review to say how much you hated it. It's common courtesy.

So anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 1-A Rogue Wind

Truth be known,

the only thing we can be certain of in life,

is uncertainty.

"I'm so freaking bored!"

Alison screamed, flopping onto the warm grass and closing her eyes. A tiny blonde puppy that stood next to her tilted his head curiously, before scrabbling onto her chest and licking her nose in an attempt to 'wake' her. The girl giggled, picking him up and holding him at arms length.

"Are you bored too Naruto-kun?"

The puppy just looked at her blankly with his big brown eyes, his little tail wagging behind him.

"Well, I guess we could go to the mall, or maybe play video games at my house..."

Came the voice of another girl. Michelle sat on top of a picnic table next to her friend, hugging one knee to her chest and resting her chin on it. The friends had taken Alison's puppy out for a walk in the park, in an attempt to find someone they knew, or at least in hopes that they might get an idea for how to occupy themselves. Unfortunately, the park was empty, and their minds were as blank as ever. Alison snorted, sitting up and lifting her puppy so he could sit on her shoulder.

"Come on Michelle, we've been doing that all summer! There is absolutely NOTHING to do! So far today we've already downloaded out limit of Naruto anime, baked and eaten three pies, and if I do any more sketching for our manga, my head is going to go flying from my shoulders and hit some poor kid in china!"

"Me too,"

Michelle moaned, letting her shoulders droop forward.

"And they've banned up from ever store in town that sells graphic novels."

"It's not fair!"

Alison cried, thrusting one arm upward in defiance.

"How do we know if we want the darned things or not if we can't read them!"

"It's a conspiracy!"

Michelle allied, punching her arm upward in the same way. Naruto-kun yipped in agreement, wagging his tail furiously. Alison had named her puppy after she and her best friend's current anime obsession. 'He's the same color as Naruto's hair' Michelle had exclaimed the first time she saw her friend's puppy. The name had just stuck.

Just then, the light breeze that had been drifting idly through the park picked up, causing a few leaves and a small piece of paper flutter across the park. As if guided by some unknown force, the paper drifted until it hit Michelle in the face, sticking there. The girl stayed perfectly still a moment, as if wondering what had just happened. She then leapt up, running back and forth in circles, madly flailing her arms.

"AHHHHH! I'm blind! Help Ali! HELP MEEEEE!"

Alison raised one eyebrow questioningly, before breaking into laughter. She stood, brushing the dust from her jeans and walking over to her terrified friend. She peeled the paper from Michelle's face, who gave an ecstatic cheer.

"YAAAAY! I can SEE! It's a MIRACLE! OH JOY! OH RAPTURE! There's a SAINTHOOD in this for you Ali! SAINT ALISON, HEALER OF THE BLIND!"

"Oh my freaking any-deity-you-wish!"

Alison said, staring at the piece of paper as if hypnotized.

"Can't you just say 'oh my god' like everyone else? And what?"

"One, LOOK! It has Naruto on it! Two, no Three, shut up. Though not necessarily in that order."

Michelle jumped up, suddenly interested at mention of the word 'Naruto', and started desperately trying to snatch the paper away from her friend. She had forgotten however, that Alison was 4 inches taller that her. She held the ticket just out of Michelle's reach, while reading it aloud with a cheesy game show announcer accent.

"You may have already won the most amazing Naruto experience of your life! If you get three Konohakagure symbols on this scratch-card, YOU WIN!"

"LEMMIE SEE IT! I WANT TO SCRATCH IT! Lemmie see, lemmie see, lemmie see, lemmie see, lemmie see!"

"Patience my dear Michelle."

Alison said, poking her friend in the forehead so that she rocked backward a few inches on her heals, arms still flailing.

"It does not say how to claim said amazing Naruto-themed experience, nor does it say if we, at 13 years old, are eligible to claim it."

"WHO CARES?"

Michelle screamed, clenching her fists and jumping up and down. Alison placed her hand on her chin thoughtfully a few moments as if in deep thought.

"Hmmmm...NOT ME!"

She cried, laughing as she handed the card over to Michelle. The girl took it gleefully, reclaiming her seat on top of the picnic table and pulling a quarter from her pocket. She scratched away at the first grey spot, revealing a Konoha emblem.

"ONE!"

They both shouted in triumph. Now Alison snatched the coin away and scratched at the middle circle. Another Konohakagure symbol.

"TWO!"

They cried again, now very excited. The blonde puppy leapt from Alison's shoulder onto the picnic table next to the card. Michelle smiled and giggled, pointing at him.

"Look, Naruto-kun wants to help!"

Alison scratched the little dog behind his ears affectionately. Taking the puppy's tiny paw in her hand, she helped him to hold the coin and scratch away at the final spot. Both girls held their breath as the symbol became visible.

"THREE!"

They screamed, leaping together in a suffocating hug. Alison held the card aloft above their heads screaming her exaltation.

"WE WON! WE WON GOSHDARNIT, WE WON! TAKE THAT PROBABILITY!"

"OW! OH MY GOD IT HURTS! ALI LET ME GO! THE LOVE HURTS!"

Alison froze, jumping away from her friend who fell backward onto the grass, smiling and gasping for breath. Naruto-kun yipped madly, licking Ali's face as she placed him on her shoulder once again. Suddenly, both the girls and their dog fell silent. The scratch card had fallen from Alison's hand onto the grass, and was now glowing a bright silver color.

"What the?"

Michelle asked, crawling into a kneeling position so she could peer cautiously as the square of paper.

"Maybe it's sick?"

Alison suggested, kneeling next to her. Naruto-kun joined them in staring at it a few moments, before deciding he'd much rather go and play with the shiny paper. Stupid humans had no idea how to have fun. He hopped down from Alison's shoulder, waddling toward the scratch card and poking it tentatively with an outstretched paw. Both girl snapped out of their daze and cried out simultaneously.

"NO!"

All of a sudden a blinding flash leapt from the ticket, engulfing the little dog. Out of instinct, Alison launched herself at him, and was also lost in the light. Michelle followed without a second thought. The girls screamed as they never had before, seeing only a tunnel of silver light as they fell down, down, down, their cries every so often punctuated by the yips of a frightened puppy.
