Chapter 2: 'Do you think he'll come?"

"I cant believe you're getting married Serena." Sakura smiled as she looked in the mirror at her friend. They were trying on her dress to get it fitted properly.

"I know, I'm still trying to make sense of it all. It doesn't seem real." She smiled back at the pink haired girl behind her, "Sometimes I think it's too good to be true."

"Ray is a good guy." Sakura added in to help her friends nerves, "You two will surely be great as a married couple."

"I hope so."

"I mean I could go without him taking you far away from me….but other than that I think he's pretty cool." She laughed. She hated that her friend was leaving to become a member of a different village.

"His entire family is there…they're giving him his own land if we move there instead of here. In a way, it's bittersweet. I don't want to leave, but I also don't want to argue over petty things like this."

"I'm just saying…don't uproot your life for a piece of land. I mean, there's plenty of land in the Leaf village to go around."

Serena laughed, "I know, it's such a dumb reason to move but in a way it's a good excuse to get out of here."

They both stood there in silence staring at the dress. It was traditional white, strapless and went to the floor. There was a train behind her that would be hitting flower petals as she walked down the aisle. The back was like a corset, with lace over top of the entire thing. Her shoes made her look four inches taller, and you could barely see her under the vale.

"I feel like a princess." She laughed to herself, "My personal fairy tale."

"You look beautiful. Honestly I don't know how I'll be able to hold myself together during the ceremony. I'll be a wreck." Sakura said prepping herself for that day.

"Well you have a good three months until it's actually here." Serena breathed calming herself down. As the day got closer she grew more and more anxious about getting married.

Sakura sat outside the dressing room as Serena began to take the dress off with the help of one of the shop associates, "Do you think he'll come?" She asked after a bit of silence passed between them after the woman took her dress into the back.

Serena froze on the other side of the door as she got dressed, "I don't think so," She responded after a moment. Why would she bring him up now? When her anxiety was at it's worst?

"Is his family invited?"

"Of course. We've always been close to the Nara's, it wouldn't be right to not invite them." Serena answered putting her hair into a ponytail again. She opened the door and headed back into the village with her friend, "Man I'm gonna miss the smell of the Ichiraku Ramen every day. They'll definitely need to expand to the Cloud."

"Well one thing is for sure, Naruto would definitely be visiting all the time if he knew you had as good a place as Ichiraku." Sakura laughed

"I could see it now: him knocking on my door, cheesy grin on his face with a huge bowl and giant backpack on his back telling me he's staying for awhile and that he brought dinner."

"At least he'd get out of Hinata's hair for awhile." Sakura chuckled as they both thought of it.

"And invade mine." Serena laughed back. Sakura got silent for a second. She didn't show it much, but her friend leaving effected her more than she let on.

"So you really want to get out of here that badly?" Sakura asked bringing up her friends comment earlier, "Is it worth it?"

"To be away from him?" Serena asked, "Anything would be better than seeing him around everywhere I go. It's a fresh start. A new beginning. No one in the Hidden Cloud village will talk behind my back as I walked by about what happened. No one will know a thing."

Sakura put her head down, "Yeah…I suppose you're right."
