One would do whatever popped into his mind without thinking of the result.

One would think everything through to the smallest detail, and then do nothing.

I actually had a request for this one.

"You lazy baka! Go play outside for once!"

"Geez Tou-san! Why do I have to? I wanted to play shougi."

"I SAID GET OUTSIDE! Come back at sundown."

Man. The old man sure was irritated this time … maybe it's because I came close to beating him this time. Wonder if any body I know is at the playground.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

"What are you doing sitting down in the middle of the road?"

"For your information, I am sitting on the pier!"

"What the? When did I swerve off the road? Ah, how troublesome."

"Well you need to go because if your mum sees you here, she'll freak."

"Well, what are you doing?"

"Watching clouds … they don't have to do anything to get by, just wait for a breeze to push them away."

"Man. Wouldn't it be great, if we could live our lives like that. Mind if I watch too?"

"If you want, but if you see your mum you got to jump up and act like I wasn't here."

"… … … okaaaay?"

Wow! Watching clouds is so relaxing. Maybe if I got Tou-san to watch them with me once in a while, he wouldn't get irritated as much. Man they look so cool in the sunset … THE SUNSET?!!! I have to get home!

"Here. I got you an ice block."

"Whoa! Double choc! My favourite! Thanks."

"That reminds me … what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is …"

"SHIKAMARU!!!!!!! Get away from him! And get that out of your mouth!"

"Huh?! Kaa-san?!"

My mother threw my iceblock at him, picked me up then ran away. I then realized why I had to pretend to just notice him … adults hated him. He knew that, but he had gone and bought me an ice block even though he may get in trouble. When I heard mum yelling I thought about jumping … but I couldn't do it, he was … no is my friend.

Shikamaru spent all his time watching the clouds by the pier whenever he could, in hopes that he would meet his friend again and maybe get his name, but the boy never returned. A few months later, Shikamaru stood up for Chouji, and watched clouds with him … eventually forgetting the boy who showed him the clouds.

Yay it are a done chapter. Thank you to the person who actually put in a request. I will either do a chance meeting with Jiraya or Hinata next, so you choose.
