~Fate has brought me a PUPPY~


=Recap=

"Oh my God! Hello!" And he greeted me back with a smile and a hug. Oh these Uchiha men, so damn precious.

Speaking of which...

"Hi auntie."

"Sasuke! Itachi!" I hugged them both so tight and kissed them on their foreheads.


=Everyone's except for Rika's POV=

Meanwhile...

*Sweatdrop* 'Okay...'


=Sakura's POV=

"Oh hey mom! Uh, glad to finally see you here, eheh..." I face palmed myself.

I looked at the two boys and saw that they were touching their foreheads in a weird manner. Not in a blushy manner, more of a what's-up-with-that-woman manner.

My mom went to me and stood by my side. 'Is she really my mom..?' I asked myself as I sweat dropped.

"So, are you and Sasuke-" Insert invisible quotation marks here, "'reunited' again?" She said in a teasing tone.

"MOM!" My mom giggled.

She then faced Itachi and- Oh no, not this again. Help me Lord.

"Itachi." She switched to serious mode. This can't be good.

"Hn." The latter had a stoic face. (WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?) He always does.

"1," My mom said in a dark tone.

.

"2," Ugh, I thought Itachi had more brain than my mom.

.

"3," Unfortunately not.

.

"AAAH!"

"AAAH!"

.

There was a huge clash and when the surroundings cleared, before us was a scene we've seen billions of times. Nothing ever chang-

"Rock beats scissor,"-we all stared in shock, even my mom can't believe it- "auntie."

Itachi smirked and we all clapped with wide eyes.

"Congratulations Itachi! You finally beat mom!" I said as I and Sasuke tackled him.

Mikoto smiled at him and Fugaku nodded with a small smile in response.

"You did well my son." Fugaku said in his deep voice.

Mikoto turned to my mom and moved her hand up and down on my mother's back in a soothing way.

"I know what will cheer you up. Come on, let's bake some cookies."

"Yeah. Besides, Itachi's happy so that makes us all happy, including me!" My mom said with a grin.


=Itachi's POV=

I smirked triumphantly at my victory over auntie. But I think she's gotten over it as my mom shooed us gently into the living room while they started to bake cookies.

As I turned around, a flash startled me and blurred my vision back there for a second.

I heard my little brother's voice. "There, now I'll put this in a scrapbook as for winning a nearly impossible death match with auntie." I could hear a hint of humor in his statement.

Rolling my eyes, I grabbed Sakura and Sasuke under my arms and forced them to sit on the couch with me.

"Let's watch a movie. Dad, care to pick a movie for us?"

"Sure." Dad stared intently at the CD's in the rack one by one.

"Whoa, since when did you become so strong to force us onto the couch?" Sakura said with a dazed voice.

"Since when did you drag me onto the couch and became my wife?" Sasuke said while puffing his cheeks. I just laughed at them.

"Here, does this work?" Dad handed me the CD.

"Yeah, fits for these two cuties." I heard them -Yes, HEARD- stick their tongues at me.

"I'll help your moms in the kitchen and give you some quality time here." Dad said as he left us and headed for the kitchen.

We laughed and teared a little as "Gnomeo and Juliet" played. Minutes went by fast as the movie came to an end.

Suddenly, auntie appeared from the kitchen holding a plate of freshly baked chocolate chips.

"Kids, who wants cookies!" It was more of an interjection than a question.

"Us!" The three of us said as we raised our hands.

*cough* *cough*

We turned our direction to the coughing and saw dad all white and coughing as mom helped him walk. Poor dad.

As they set dad on the couch, he whispered to me in an air-grasping voice.

"Next time," -He coughed more white powder- "Remind me to watch a movie with you kids instead..."

I smirked and nodded.

"I missed these cookies so much..." Sakura's voice chirped with teary eyes.

"Yeah, mom hasn't made these cookies since auntie and her never got a chance to see each other again for a long time." Sasuke said while nibbling on a cookie.

I grabbed one myself, munching and nearly making myself cry with goodness.

Nearly.

"Auntie should come by more often and lose another match for these cookies." I stated as I finished the cookie and reached for another.

*Smack* "Ow!"

And they just all laughed.


Another short chappie. Great.

ME GIVE YOU COOKIE~ *Gives you cookie*
