A Chance To Start Over

Chapter 2 - Carnival
A/N: Hey! Thank you for the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Recap
Time passes very fast and I was now coming out of the school building with Umi at my side. "How was you day in school?"Umi asked.
"Sitting in class hearing the teacher talking about a boring subject and having Aumi stare at me with hate and flicking me off once in a while. What do you think?"I told her.
"It was bad. Huh?"Umi giggled.
"And yours?"I asked her as we reach to my car and got in.
"It was pretty boring. You know you have to learn to just ignore Aumi."
"Its not easy to ignore a annoying bitch."I said.
Umi giggled. We were now heading to Naruto's house, ready to go to the carnival.
Chapter 2 - Carnival
My cousin and I were the last ones to arrive at Naruto's house. Everybody was there waiting for us."Hey you two finally made it!"Naruto's loud mouth said.
"Yup."Umi said grinning.
I looked at everybody. One by one. Hinata was beside Naruto holding his hand. They been going out about a year now. Its funny how those two are, Hinata the quiet one and Naruto the loud one, but they do make a good cute couple. Back then Hinata stuttered and she had her hair short. Now she doesn't stutter and her hair reach down to her waist. Naruto hasn't change much. He looks the same, taller though. Sometimes I wonder if he will never stop being loud.
I looked at Ino, who was sitting on Shikamaru's lap playing with his hair. She also haven't change. Ino was still the annoying, self-centered girl I met in my childhood. Shikamaru was one of the most laziest guys I had ever known, but he's very smart. He always looks up at the sky and sleeps. It would be a miracle if I saw him energetic. Ino always messes around with Shikamaru and I wonder how can he stand Ino.
Tenten was against a wall and Neji was right beside her. This was my first time seeing Tenten having her hair down. Her chocolate hair was shouldered length. I had to admit that she looks better with her hair down instead of in buns.Tenten was always a tomboy. She never likes wearing dresses. I would be surprised if I saw her wearing one.
Now Neji was the kind of person you wouldn't want to mess with. If you insult him or any one he cares about, he wouldn't hesitate to go kick your ass. In the begining of the high school year, he got into a fight with a junior because the guy was messing with him and Tenten for being a freshmen. With one puch the junior got his nose bleeding and then he was unconscious and Neji won. Since then everybody doesn't want to mess with him.
I looked back at Naruto and spoke,"What are we waiting for? Lets go to the Carnival!"I said.
I was actually excited to go to the carnival. I don't know why because I usually don't when I go to the carnivals. It's strange. Every time when there's a carnival, I always go, and its the same rides and everything else. I get tired and bored going to carnivals. So why am I so excited? I asked myself.
"Yeah! Everybody lets get going!"Naruto said loudly.
Everybody was ready to leave and we all got to our cars. It was a perfect day to go to a carnival. The sky was clear and the temperature was warm, not too cold, not too hot. Perfect.
Naruto's car was in the lead with the rest of us following. I decided to turn on the radio. Its been a long time since I heard music. The song "What I've Done" was playing and Umi and I were singing it.
What I've Done
In this farewell
there's no blood
there's no alibi
cause i've drawn regret
from the truth
of a thousand lies
so let mercy come
and wash away
what i've done
i'll face myself
to cross out what i've become
erase myself
and let go what i've done
put to rest
what you thought of me
while i've change this slate
with the hands
of uncertainty
for what i've done
i start again
and whatever pain may come
today this ends
im forgiving what i've done
The song ended and I was now entering the highway still close behind Naruto. We were heading to down town and it was an hour away. I didn't mind driving for an hour. A another song was now playing but I didn't recognize the name of the song.
An hour passed and we were now entering the carnival. "Oh My Gosh!" Umi and I said at the same time. The Carnival was huge. It was ten times bigger than the other carnivals I've been to. It was probably bigger than two football fields put together.
I parked my car next to Naruto's and Umi and I quickly got out of the car. We were already in line to buy the tickets and Naruto and the rest were far behind calling our names.
"Sakura! Umi!Wait for us!"Naruto said as he and the others ran to us.
As they reach us, I handed them their tickets."You already bought them."Hinata said.
"Yeah."I replied.
"But you didn't have to buy it for us. We have our own money you know."Tenten said.
"Think of it as a gift from me." I said as I started to look around the huge Carnival.
Everybody followed. I never seen a carnival so...so huge. This must be a new Carnival I thought."Hey Naruto."I said.
"Yeah."he was right beside me.
"Is this Carnival new cause I've never been in this one before, its huge."
"Yeah it is. Last week I heard in the news that there was going to be a brand new carnival here and it said to be the most biggest of all of the carnivals out there."
Ino was calling us to go to a hunted ride and I was about to go when someone called my name. I turned around and saw a women with long sliver hair. She looks like she was around her 60's. And what was strange was that I don't know her and she just called my name.
"What are you doing Sakura? Come on!"Ino was calling me to go join her. I looked away from the strange women and told Ino and the others that they can go to the ride without me.
"Sakura" the women said again.
I walked up to her and asked,"How do you know my name?"
She smiled. "I know everything about everyone."
"Sure you do."I said sarcastically.
"If you can beat my game. I can give you a wish."she said.
If I beat her in a game, I get a wish. Yeah right. I told myself. I don't bealive in such thing and I don't need a wish. "A wish? You have to be kidding me."
"Its no joke. I won't charge anything."
"Whatever."I said as I was walking away from her.
"With the wish you can have Sasuke Uchiha back alive."
I stop from where I stood. How does she know about Sasuke? I asked myself. This was very weird. I turned around and went up to her. "How do you know about Sasuke?"I asked.
"I told you before, I know everything."
"Who are you, really? Are you some kind of freak?"
"My name is Crastalia and I am no freak." ( A/N: ok this women is one of those people who have those large crystal ball to see the future and everything in a persons life and it so happens that this women can grant one wish to any person she wants. If any one of you know what those people are called let me know cause I forgot what their called. I think its a spell caster,or a Gannie. I dnt know.)
I thought for a minute. I can say yes to her offer. I don't have nothing to lose right? "Okay. I accept."I told her.
"Good. Now follow me."
I did what I was told. I followed her and we end up in a small place that was in the corner of the Carnival. There was a blue sign with white letters that said "Magic."
We went inside and there was a few people looking around the store. We went to the back of the store and we entered in a small room that had candles everywhere and in the corner there was a glass shelf that had many different bottles. First I thought it was all kinds of types of perfumes but then as I looked at it closly it was potions.
Crastalia told me to sit at the round wooden table and I did. On the middle of the table there was a large crystal ball. Crastalia went to open a large black box that was on the floor and took out a beautiful necklace. It had a clear diamond that you can see through it. She handed it to me. I looked at her puzzled.
"That's for you. In the night when the sky is clear. Go outside an look at the stars. Find the most brightest, biggest star you see and once you find it, take the necklace and see the same star through the clear diamond and make your wish."She told me.
"But I thought you said that I had to beat your game in order to get a wish."
"I lied. I just wanted to give you a wish."
"Why?"I asked confused.
"Because I gone through everything you been through and I want to help those who have been suffering so much by giving them a wish to change their life and be happy."
"How did you know I was suffering?"
"I see it in your eyes."
Umi was right I can't fool nobody. Is it very obvious that am suffering? "Does wishes really come true?"
She nodded. I looked in her light blue eyes and she was serious. I suddenly felt like I really believe that wishes does come true."So I can make any wish I want?"I asked.
"Oh I forgot about that. No you can't there's there things you can't wish for 1.) you can't bring someone from the afterlife.2.) You can't wish for someone to be dead.3.) you can't wish for making someone to love you."
Darn it. I thought. I couldn't make a wish for the first one she said."But then how can I bring Sasuke back alive?"I asked her.
"Sorry I can't help you there. You just have to figure that one for yourslef."
My cell phone rang and I answered it."Hello?"
"Hey Sakura where are you at?"Umi asked.
"At this store called Magic and you?"
"Im getting cotton candy."
"Oh ok I will meet you there. Wait for me."
"Okay."Umi hang up.
I put away my cell phone and looked at Crastalia. "I have to go. Will I ever see you again?"
"I don't think so."
"Oh...well thank you. I don't know how to repay you."
"No. Don't worry about it. It was my pleasure for helping you.Oh and one more thing you only have seven days to make the wish starting now."
I saw the others eating their cotton candy and I decided to get one for myself."Hey Sakura! Where have you been?"Ino asked.
"Oh I was at a store." I said taking a bite of the pink cotton candy.
"Well hurry up and finish eating that cause were going to the other rides."Neji said.
I quickly finished eating and I went to the rides with my friends. The sky was getting dark and we all have gone all the rides.We were starting to leave when Umi asked me where have I gotten the necklace that I gotten form Crastalia. I told her that I bought it in the store I was in.
I started to drive on the hour trip back to my house. I had to drop my cousin off at her house first, which was a ten minutes away from my house. All that time of driving I couldn't stop thinking on how would I wish to bring Sasuke back to life. Sasuke was the only thing that matter to me. The one that kept me going through the day.
When I lost him, my life seem to stop. Like the time have stop, not able to continue. I need him so badly.If I didn't had him, my life had no purpose. I would probably end my life, so I could be with him in the afterlife.
I arrived at my house and my parents had already went to sleep. I went to my room and put my PJ's on and went to bed thinking. Crastalia said I only had seven days to make the wish, which was a week. I think that's enough time to find a way to wish Sasuke back. Eyes were suddenly closing and before I knew it I was sleeping.
