We sat on the couch and watched TV for an hour. We waited for the guys to bang on the door to let them in. Then there was a sudden knock at the door. "Hey let us in". Neji said from the front door. Temari opened it and she gasped. "What's with all this stuff"? She asked. "This stuff is for our entertainment". He replied. "Is that a pool table"? I asked. "Yeah it is but that British call it a snooker table". He said as he brought it in through the door.
Sasuke came in with an armload of game systems. "How did you pay for these"? I asked. "Well if you've lived as long as we have. Then money is something you get through the centuries. Also I was a wealthy prince you know". Jonathan said as he walked upstairs. "Where are you going to put all this"? Temari asked. "In my new game room". He replied from upstairs.
Temari and I ran upstairs to the room they had dubbed "The Game Room".
We walked in the room and it was filled with game systems hooked up to a big screen TV. "Wow it looks like the electronics department in target exploded in this room". Temari said. "Well they are missing a lot of merchandise". Sasuke said. "Don't you just love it"? Neji said. "You won't after I kick your butt at Mario part 7". I said as I put my hands on my hips. "I thought you two were wrestling in the garden". Temari said puzzled.
"We were but we got bored and decided we'd rather battle in video games". Sasuke replied. "Why do you guys get a game room and we get nothing"? I asked. "Well it's my house and everyone loves video games". Sasuke said. "That's not true. I don't like video games". Temari responded. "Oh well I guess you could have an entertainment room of your own". Sasuke said specifically to Temari.
We chose the room right next door to them. We made it the romantic movies and books room. "We need to make this room girly so that the guys won't want to come in here". I said.
"It's already girly enough for them to not want to come in here. Guys don't like romantic books and movies". Temari replied.
"True but we need to make sure". I said as I paced the room. "I can here what they're doing in there". I said as I pressed my ear to the wall. "Just think that in your mind and Sasuke will probably turn down the volume for you". She said.
"Read my mind if you dare" I thought. "It's not just the video game I can here everything they're saying." I said.
"We can here everything you say too"! They yelled in unison.
"Good for you"! I yelled back.
We left our room and walked towards my room. I jumped onto my bed.
"You know Sasuke must really love you to let me have my own room here". I said as I sat up.
"Yeah I guess he does". She answered halfheartedly.
"What's wrong"? I asked concerned. "It's nothing". She said. She smiled but I could tell that it was an empty smile.
"If Neji asked you to marry him would you say yes"? She asked me trying to change the subject. "Yes I would say yes if he asked me". I answered. "Why have you heard anything"? I asked.
"No I was just wondering". She said while looking down at the bed sheets. "Do you think he'll propose"? I asked. Startled by my question she slowly answered. "Probably". She said. "I have a plan". I said getting up. "What is it"? She asked. "I'll tell you later. We need to go to our room". I replied.
I dragged her to our room and whispered our plan. "Ok we're gonna put the idea of marriage in their heads. We're going to talk about how we want to be proposed to. Got it"? I asked.
"Sure". She said. "You start". I told her. "What? No I don't want to start". She said. "Please". I begged.
"Fine. You know Sakura I had this weird dream. Sasuke proposed to me". She said loud enough for both guys to hear. "Really how did it happen"? I asked.
"Well we were all at the beach having a picnic. Sasuke asked me if I wanted to walk along the shore during the sunset. We were walking along and then he stopped and took out a peach colored rose and he proposed. The rose opened and inside was a blue topaz heart shaped ring". She said.
"Wow". I said. "Yeah and that's how I really want to be proposed to". She said.
"That's so romantic". I said. "I know". She said smiling to herself. "How would you like to be proposed to"? She asked me.
"Well I imagine myself and the love of my life laying in a meadow staring at the stars. He'd take my hand and tell me how much I meant to him and he'd propose to me right then underneath the stars". I answered. We listened for any type of response from the guys.
Then I heard Sasuke say to Neji. "I think they're hinting to us". He said. "What do you mean"? Neji asked him completely oblivious. "They want us to propose to them". Sasuke said in an everyone knows that voice. "So what should we do"? He asked.
"Exactly what they want". Sasuke replied. I walked over to the doorway of their room.
"Are you eaves dropping on us"? I asked pretending that I was angry.
"Maybe. You'll find out eventually". Neji said to me.
"Fine". I answered as I stormed away. "Hey I do dare to read your mind and let me tell you it's the most twisted mind ever"! Sasuke called out to me. I walked back to our room and sat on the couch.
"Are you sure we should've done that"? Temari asked me unsure. "
Yeah I think it was a good idea." I said. "Alright if that's what you think". She said as she got up to leave. "Hey where are you going"? I asked.
"I'm just going outside to clear my head". She replied as she left the room. I waited a few moments and then followed her downstairs.
Temari walked outside into the garden. I sat by the window sill to watch her.
She walked towards the roses and smelled them. Then she walked to the heart of the garden. She walked to the heart shaped rose bushes. Her hand flew to her mouth as she collapsed to the ground.
Her body quivered. I looked closer and saw that she was crying. I wanted to run and comfort her. But I knew that she'd be more upset at me for following her.
Her hand slowly moved away from her mouth and went to the ground. She pushed herself up. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She walked around the garden once.
She slowly started her way back to the castle. As she drew near I retreated to my room.
