Chapter 10!
Artemis: "What she says"
Sand nin: "What they say."
...OOO...

My dreams were always so vivid, but this dream, i didn't want to leave. I haven't had this dream since i was a kid. All i ever wanted, was to stay here, in our comfy spot. Just us, no one else...

...OOO...

I bolted up, and looked around, my room was starting to be lit by the sun. I yawned and stretched. The past few days i've been training with Temari. I layed back down in my bed, and closed my eyes. "Gah! Why can't i remember faces! I don't even remember his name!" i made exaggerated movement in the bed and sighed after i was done, i sighed. Soon my stomach grumbled. "Time for b-fast!" i hopped out of bed, and went to the kitchen, which was in the same room as my bedroom. I got a pan, milk, eggs, bacon, and pan cake mix. "It's a bit quiet. Well, the neighbors will have to deal with me being noisy." I got my phone, and put on pandora. I smiled when i saw the song. "Perfect!" i said to myself, and pressed play, and i started making the pancakes.

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone.
I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn.
I threw your sh*t into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.
I crashed my car into the bridge.

I was dancing like an idiot, but i didn't care. I was in my place, my bubble. I didn't have to care much, ony if i saw a spider. Spiders are the devil incarnate. But besides that, i was mixing the pancake mix, and moving the beat. I was having fun, which i normally did when i was by myself, or with my bff. I was being care-free, and just being me.

I don't care, I love it. I don't care.

I don't care, I love it. I don't care.

You're on a different road, I'm in the milky way
You want me down on earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's b*tch

So by now i was rocking the fuck out. I was singing along, i thought i heard a few pounds of the door, but i ignored them. I know i was basically being the bitch neighbor, and i didn't care. I was suddenly happy for some reason, and i wasn't going to let anyone ruin it. I poured the mix in the heated pan, and watched it bubble, then i started on the eggs, bacon and sausage.

I love it!

I love it!

I mixed the eggs til it was a nice yellow color. Gotta love scrambled eggs. Yum.

I don't care, I love it,
I love it.
I don't care, I love it.
I don't care, I love it, I love it.
I don't care.
I love it.

"I LOVE IT!" I yelled as i flipped the pancake, and smiled. I mixed the eggs, and put them on the plate, the the bacon, but the sausage needed more cooking, so i left it. I flipped the pancake, and waited til that was side was done. I skipped the songs in pandora, and smiled when another song came on.

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

I started thinking about Zack. I wonder what he was doing now, where he was. All these things made me see like a stalker, i probably was. I took the sausage when it was done.

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

The first time i met him, was during our 7th grade year. I was just a innocent girl, i wore glasses, well, i still do i just have contacts. Wait, my glasses! I forgot those, well, most likely they will be in my bag, in the pocket in the bag. Wow, i actually for got my glasses.

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

I can't believe it. The past few years of my life haven't been exciting, except when i met Paula. That was fun, but i can't get Zack out of my mind. I couldn't understand why, but i felt bad. I really like him, but something tells me i should stop. Maybe it's because of that boy i met in my dreams. Maybe, maybe not, that is the question.

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I was happy, i was dancing around, until i stopped and sniffed. "I wonder whats bur-MY PANCAKES!" I yelled as i saw a mini fire happening. I freaked out and blew on the fire, that didn't work. I ran around frantic, until i grabbed the handle and ran in the bathroom, and turned on the water, and i heard a light hissing sound. I sighed in relief and sat on the floor, until i heard my door getting busted down and someone yelling, "Artemis!" i blinked and peeked out, and low and behold, Riki was there. "Your a bit late, aren't you?" i said to him as i got up, and went over to him. He blinked and looked around, and saw me, he rushed over to me, and urned me around afew times. "Your not hurt are you? Some people heard fire." he said to me, now i blinked. "Yeah, there was a mini fire. My pancake is extra crispy." i explained and went to the table.

"You could of knocked you know." i said as i bit into my remaining pancakes. "You could of died!" he yelled, "You still could of knocked." i replied, "And no need to yell, it's too early in the morning." i added as i ate my eggs. "What am i going to do with you." he said as more of a statement by what i guessed, so i answered any way, "You could start knocking whenever you enter my home." i said to him and ate my bacon. He sighed and layed on my bed. "Get off my bed, i don't want your germs on it." i said to him, he just waved his hand, and then i heard, "Is she ok?!" i looked and saw Temari and Kankuro, but no Gaara, i was sad, but hey, he's the Kazekage. I took a bite of my bacon and Temari came over to me, and smacked me on the head. "OOOOOOOOOOW!" I whined as i rubbed my head. "As long as your safe, thats all that maters." she said, and smiled. I pouted and ate my breakfast.

"So i have the next few days off?" i asked, Temari nodded and began to explain why, "Kankuro and i are going to Konoha to be representative for the Sand Village, during the chunin exams. Gaara can't make it because of certain reasons." she said to me as she ate whatever bacon was left over, "More or less it means he doesn't want to go." Kankuro told me, i giggled and ate. "This pancake looks like it was alive before you burned it." Riki's voice was heard as he came out of the bathroom with the pan with the pancake still in it. I just shrugged because i had a good break fast. "We're leaving tomorrow morning, so you can sleep in." Temari told me, i nodded. "What time are you leaving?" i then asked as i got up and put my dishes in the sink. "Around 8. Why?" she asked me, "I want to see you off." i smiled at her, she smiled back, "Hey, what about me? I'm going too, don' i get a good bye also?" Kankuro asked, i blinked and bluntly said "No." and i went to the bathroom. After i shut the door, i heard Temari laugh. I washed up, i took my time. I glanced in the mirror, i saw me, but yet, it wasn't me. I sighed abit, and dried my face. I then walked out, no one was there, not even Riki. I saw a note and it was from Temari, saying they had to go and pack, and Riki was going to see Gaara.

I sat on my bed, wonder what was going on in my world. I was sad, all of a sudden. I missed my parents, and my best friend, and Zack. I lifted the necklace i always had on. It was from when i was little, and my very best friend, my first friend, who understood me. It wore out over the years, but the words, or more like the first few letters: TOGE, and For. But him having the other half was slim, i lost the other half. I meant to give it to him, but i didn't get the chance too, because once, i moved away, and two, i never saw him again. I smacked my cheeks, and motivated myself, "Ok self! Stop being sad! You are in one of your favorite animes, so be happy!" i opened the window and yelled out into the morning, "I'M GOING TO BE EXTRA HAPPY!" I heard it echo, and then i heard, "Stop yelling! Damn kids." i blinked and looked, it was an old lady, and i mean OLD. Yep, definatly going to have fun here, it's not every day a fanfiction comes to life.
