Gaara and Shika Adventures

--what a plant can't--

"so..about my new uniform…" Shika cautiously teetered towards Gaara, tugging down his purple t-shirt, staring at his feet.

Gaara, (not even sparing him a glance), sat stiffly by his favorite tree. Replying to Shikamaru's sentence fragment in attempt to reassure him, he spoke as I imagine a gargoyle would… "I don't see what the problem is, I picked purple because I happen to like that color, and I have noticed that it can be very intimidating."

Did I mention the tree was purple?

"yeah, but why heliotrope(1) purple?" He looked at Gaara as though he were trying to look past his appearance and attitude..to the real Gaara..the Gaara that fancied purple.

Gaara made an expression, he felt exposed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Maybe I just like heliotrope purple. Heliotrope is my favorite flower too." Gaara turned his head away, daring not to show Shika his tears…his tears of not being accepted. He planned it out in his head, he would move far away to the land of Heliotrope where no fan girls, family, people, or Shikamarus could find him. He would live amongst the native heliotropeians and wear heliotrope togas and make ceramic heliotrope mugs in the local heliotrope pottery club.

Tears not going unnoticed, Shika eased away. "You know what man? I'm going to come back when I understand you." He walked off.

Leaving Gaara all alone.

Alone.

Alone.

"Woah so this is a library!" Shika raised his head to look at the battered building located right in front of him. "how troublesome"

Stepping up to the front doors he had a mission in mind. To stop all these people from laughing at his purple shirt. Oh!, and to find out more about heliotropes.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, on the other side of the rainbow, we meet our friend, back to Betty for the weather.

Gaara was to busy planning his perfect life to notice a purple girl coming a little too close to his bubble. Then she spoke.

"GAARA-KUN!! I LOVE HELIOTROPES TOO, THEY'RE LIKE MY FAV FLOWER!!!! WE WERE MEANT TO BE FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

The said gargoyle suddenly lost interest in heliotropes completely.

The screeching girl was quite annoying from her appearance of platinum blond hair and the disgusting orchid purple get-up to the slight growth of hair between her eyes, the out of season sandals, and the need to talk in all caps.

Gaara did the only thing he could think of. "I'll kill you." Smooth Gaara.

"WITH YOU'RE STUNNING GOOD LOOKS? YOU ALREADY HAVE MY LITTLE GAARA-KUN"

aw heliotrope hell.

"What do you think you're doing?" His savior came out of the bushes with a book that read "All You Need to Know About Heliotropes and Whatever Else Your Employer Decides to Have an Obsession Over," and a potted plant of heliotropes.

"TALKING IN ALL CAPS AND WINING OVER MY GAARA-KUN'S HEART, AND –"

Before she could finish Shikamaru jumped on her, forcing the heliotropes down her throat.

She struggled for about however long it took until she died, then died.

"Heliotropes are poisonous. I went to the library"

"I didn't know that." Gaara said, still sitting in the same spot he was at the beginning of the chapter his arm draped over his knee…he was in no real danger.

"I still have some heliotropes left"

"I'm so over heliotropes" They stood up and walked into the sunset. (again) "5,374,384,720 more to go"

"aw heliotrope hell"

And you could barely hear Shika ask, "Can I get a new uniform?"
