AN: Thanks for the reviews! Oh and I choose the reviewer loveless idea on what to do. Thanks!
I heart vampires, I 3 vampires
Chapter three: Friendship's mended, but the book won't be finished!
Naruto turned on his web cam and spoke into it. "It's been two whole days, and Gaara still won't talk to me; he won't answer any e-mail texts, or phone calls, nothing." Naruto said with a sad face. "You never notice how much you actually communicated with someone until they're no longer there anymore. Oh and thanks for everyone's advice on what to do, and I want to thank loveless for the advice on making cookies, I decided to make vampire bat cookies! And I also have handmade card for him." Naruto showed a pan of black foresting winged vampire bat cookies with a grin on his face, and a little card. "Wish me luck." He said before waving and closing his laptop.
Naruto put the note card into his mouth, and balanced his laptop in one hand, and the tray of cookies in the other. He started to move towards his front door, but in walked in Gaara with a box of stuff. The second his door opened, Naruto put his laptop down and grinned. "Oh my god perfect timing, we are like psychically connected. " Naruto said as he looked over at his best friend.
"I just came over to bring you some of your things." Gaara said as he threw a pillow over on to his couch.
"Wait what?" Naruto said clearly not seeing that coming, his face was completely shocked.
"Dream catcher." He picked up a dream catcher that Naruto made in 8th grade for him and threw it on the couch. Naruto's face went all sad as though he wanted to cry. "This stupid thing doesn't even work." His best friend was really going to leave him now. "This hideous calendar thing you made me in 5th grade," He threw that on the couch. "This weird butterfly socks, that don't fit because I swear you have the world's biggest feet."
"Hey!" Naruto said at the boy in front of him.
"What else is new?" Gaara said as he just dropped the box down onto the coffee table. "You can sort through all this shit."
"Ok." Naruto said while he tried to cool his temper. "Look what I made you." Naruto said as he showed his friend the batch of vampire cookies. "See I even added your favorite chocolate frosting."He waved the plate around Gaara's nose to tempt the boy. "You know you want one."
Gaara glared at the cookies before giving in a taking one. "Thanks." He moved around Naruto to leave the house quickly.
"No wait, you can't just leave. You have to read my note." Naruto said as he handed Gaara a note with the handmade fangs on the cover. The other boy rolled his eyes before he reached out and took the note from the blonde's hands.
"Let's be like the nagga and the hunters, friends again." Gaara said as he read the note. He looked up at his friend a small smirk on his face. Naruto held out another cookie.
"Cheers?" He asked as he held out the cookies for his friend to hit against. Gaara sighed and did it back. "I love you." He said as he gave his friend a huge hug.
"I love you too. Do you at lease know what you did was wrong?" Unfortunately he was cut off by the news coming on. "Oh my gosh, Mikoto is on, she never does TV shows."
"I am here with Mikoto, the author of Confessions a teenage book that girls and boys all over the world are crazy about." The news caster showed the author in a chair smiling. "Now what can you tell me about the release of your next book part five in the series."
"Well this morning I was informed that several chapters of my unpublished book where leaked out into the internet." Naruto's face instantly dropped at the tone of voice the lady had. Gaara looked over at Naruto for a moment before he turned his attention back to the television.
"What is your reaction that that?" the news reporter asked.
"I'm furious." She said with a glare.
"Do you have any idea who could have done this?"
"It is being investigated by the police, and he federal authorities. They believe that this leak came from some kind of a fan site, but I can't fathom that any true fan would ever do something like this." The lady said. Naruto's face dropped even more and his mouth was now wide open. Holly shit he was going to be in trouble.
"When do you expect to finish the book?"
"Unfortunately, never." She said as she closed her eyes. Gaara started to shake his head no, she couldn't do that. "I was looking forward to figuring out what was going to happen with these characters, just as much as the fans where. Whoever has done this has ruined it for everyone." Naruto looked down at his laptop and logged on to his e-mail.
Gaara clicked the TV off and jumped up pissed with his hands up in the air. "She's not finishing the book." He started to pace. "She can't we.."
Naruto opened an e-mail and gasped at what it said. 'I hate you for this! You ruined everything for everyone!! Everyone is boycotting your stupid site.' "I'm getting hate mail."
Naruto and Gaara looked up at each other at the same time. "This can not be happening." They said together.
"We are never going to find out what is going to happen to Noah." Gaara said with his mouth wide open. Naruto stood up and made his way around the room. "or Page, or Malcolm."
Naruto raced over to his wallet. "Honey how much money do you have?" He asked as he stood up, put his wallet into his back pocket and smiled.
"What you just officially ruined my life, and now you're asking for money!" he shouted at the boy. Naruto rolled his eyes before opening the door to his house, with his friend following him.
"I have a 20 dollar bill, now let's go." Naruto walked out the door and opened his cell phone. "We are going to find Mikoto. I'm going to get down on my hands and knees and beg for forgiveness and for her to finish the book."
Gaara looked at the boy in front of him with a weird look. "Oh yea well you don't even have a car, in fact neither or us do."
"Oh yea… well I'll just call around and try to get someone to drive us." Naruto said as he started to flip though his phone.
"OH yea, let's think this one over. All our friends probably hate us since they watch our vlog. On fact give it a few minutes and your cell phone is going to have hate texts." While he said that, Naruto's phone went off, and he received a text telling him that all his friends hated him now.
"I'm already starting to have them now." Naruto said with a groan as he turned his phone off and shoved it into his pocket.
"Now, who do you know that has a car, has no life since that person is going to drive us around, doesn't hate you by now, and totally easy to be played." Gaara said to the blonde. The more and more he talked the bigger his friends grin got. "Naruto what are you thinking in small head of yours?" Naruto looked down the street to where Gaara's house was and grinned as they saw he neighbor outdoors being an idiot on the drums yet again. Naruto turned to Gaara and nodded his head.
"I think your dorky neighbor will do just fine." Naruto grinned, before they made their way back into Naruto's house. Naruto opened his laptop and started to record another web cast vlog. "Ok guys, I know you are probably REALLY mad, pissed and want to stone me to death here because of the whole Mikoto's pissed, and she not going to finish the book. I am SOOO sorry guys for screwing up. I just wanted to share something with you guys that I thought was truly and amazing with people who deserved to see it. I never thought that something like this would happen, but I am going to do everything I can to fix it, I promise ok." Naruto said with a pleading voice.
"In my defense I told him not to post it!" Gaara yelled from in the background as he walked back in forth in deep thought.
"Oh shut up, anyway I just need to find out a way to get Gaara's, well technically ours since he is just a few doors down, dorky neighbor Neji to give us a ride. The thing is that he is a total freak, so I don't think my normal methods of persuasion are going to work here. I need something like supper creative, can any on you think about something? And I need them fast, for we have to get this whole thing worked out as soon as possible. Thanks you guys." Naruto turned off the recorder and sighed.
Ok so there is the question, I need a supper creative idea for getting Neji, the drummer from the first chapter if you forgot, to give these two boys a ride. Got any good ones? I'll take the best and use it in the next chapter. PEACE!
