A Fangirl's Wish

Chapter 2

"O nuh-uh!" Erin back away from the ninjas about three feet. "This is a dream, im dreaming... i've gone insane! You dont know when your in a dream?! Do you?!"She ran over to the ninja known as Shikamaru, and in her crazed state, slapped him across the face, making a noise loud enough for the other ninja's to cringe.

"What the hell kid..." Shikamaru rolled his eyes and rubbed his cheek.

"Holy shit! Shit on a stick! This is real! O my gawd im sorry Shika! Ahhh...!" Erin took Shikamaru's arm and was now shaking it furiously.

"Shika...pfft?" Temari walked over and forced Erin's grip from Shikamaru's arm, looking her in the eyes. "Why dont we go lay you down and get you some food hmm?" Temari said, taking Erin's hand and walking in the midst of the ninja group.

"She's going to cry..." Gaara said, standing a few feet back from everyone else. He walked forward and put a hand on her shoulder, directing her forward to the large entrance to the city.

"Im going insane...Gaara...is...touching me!" Erin put her clenched hands over her eyes, trying to supress the scene that was accuring,but kept walking forward, she was a clutz even IF her eye's were open, it did'nt matter.

"Um...Gaara..." Erin recognized the voice as Sakura's. "Dont run her into anything please?"

Erin felt a slight grunt come from her director, who was now slowing his pace. She removed her hands and took a look at the crowded streets that she was treding down with her ninja obsessions. All the signs were in english, to her liking, but everything still seemed to be the same. Erin could even make out the Itchiraku Ramen shop they passed, because she could hear Naruto asking Shikamaru if they wanted to go there later.

I wonder if she really knows were she's at." Temari trotted up to Gaara and Erin, and put a hand on Erin's forehead."She feels find..." Temari would'nt stop gazing at the new girl's face. "Whats your name kid?"

"First, im not a kid, thanks very much. Secondly im not getting into a conversation with a dream, or vision, whatever you are!" She stopped walking in the middle of a now empty street. "I've gone insane, this cant be right!" Erin turned around to face Gaara and stepped back, starring at his 'Love' tattoo sign. " Im only 14 and im alraedy having delusions! I thought that was for old guys on crack! I dont do crack!" Erin grabbed a handful of her hair and kept spewing out her random excuses.

"Should we knock her out?" Temari said, leaning closer to Gaara.

"She's just in shock, as long as she does'nt hurt anybody..." He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Is she from Akastuki?" Sakura came up and pointed to the ranting girls shirt, the middle graphic situated with an Akastuki cloud.

"I doubt it, someone that scatterbrained would'nt be let in." Shikamaru also came up and leaned his head back to look up at the sky.

"I kind of like her." Naruto passed the line of ninjas and walked to Erin, who froze as he approched ."How can we prove that we're real?" He said, crossing his arms and shifting his weight to his left side.

"Muh..." Erin pondered the question. She had one choice. Play along with the charade until she woke up, that was all. It could'nt be that hard right? Right?

"Hello?" Naruto waved a hand in front of her spaced off eyes.

"Well..." Erin only knew one way to prove this, and if he could do it, then she really was crazy. "I want you to make a shadow clone."

"That's it? Fine, fine its your request." He positioned himself and muttered "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" under his breathe.

That was it, everything Erin thought could'nt happen, just happened. In a single grey wisp of smoke stood a perfect replica of Naruto. The real Naruto who she had spent hours fantasizing over meeting once. He was standing right before her staring at her and grinning."Naruto...Uzumaki! Naruto Uzu-freakin-maki!" Erin launched herself at the ninja in a giant hug.

The rest of the ninja's tensed up. They hardly relaxed even when they saw it was a hug. Naruto even hugged her shoulder in return."Your kind of weird."

"I get that a lot." She rushed over to the group and grabbed Gaara's arm. "Your one of my favorite characters ever! Your background story is so sad I cried! I even bought a teddy bear just like the on you had when you were little!" Erin switched around to look at Shikamaru. "And I love the story of how you and Chouji got to be such good friends!". Erin continued to chat to all the ninja's who all were wondering how they knew so much about each of them.

"Hey...calm down. Your hyperventilating." Naruto paused her weird ranting and grinned again. "Want to go see Tsunade?"

"Tsunade?! She's so cool! Best konoichi ever! Lets go, lets go!" She raced off in front of the group and then halted. "Um...which way?" She said, smiling a cheesy grin.

"This way kiddo!" Temari showed her the right alley, escorting her down the pathway.

The rest followed slowly, all pondering her actions. How did she know about Gaara's teddy bear? He had'nt told anyone about that before! Naruto even had to silence her before she blurted out that he was the Kyubbi. Was this new girl going to cause a problem for them all...?

"I cant believe this is happening." Erin stayed directly next to Temari, smiling the whole time. She was estatic in this whole mess of ninjas. The only wish she truely wished to come true and here she was. Erin was going through so many things. The only thought that eluded her was one...How was she to get home?
