OMG, he lives again?! Yosh. It's me again. I guess people DO read my stuff. I've been busy with school (college, ugh).

Naruto lay on his bed as he was still tired from the date. His room remained unchanged, littered with empty ramen cups and various old food wrappers. He held the fan that Temari gave him long ago on his stomach and he still did not open the gourmet ramen she had also given him. He slept in his pj's with his doggy nightcap over his eyes and his tongue was sticking out of one side. He could not stop thinking about her once he got home, and he has never been so happy, well, maybe when he first became Genin. He would await the next day with anticipation.

Gaara sat on his couch, still covered with sand and a few beach toys somewhere among the many grains. He wondered about the feeling of love, but whenever he would get too happy, Shukaku would begin to give him migraines, as Shukaku could not accept the feeling that bubbled up inside him. Shukaku would often fill Gaara's dreams with images...images of violence, but whenever Gaara imagined Sakura, her pink silky locks and her gleaming jade eyes, his fears would melt away, further angering the demon inside of him. Gaara finally had a small chance to sleep.

In the other room, Temari dreamed in sweet silence, hardly making a snore. She no longer worried about her brother sneaking out to kill innocent villagers. Temari held the picture she took on her first date, despite it being a bit wrinkly by now. Somehow, Naruto's antics made her like him even more.

Sakura did not know what to feel as she sat at the edge of her bed. She was confused...why would someone like Gaara, the Sand's most fearsome ninja, love her? Sakura did not completely forget about Sasuke, despite him treating her like crap. Gaara actually acknowledged her existence, wanted to feel her love, her side of the story. However, she thought that being abducted by the Kazekage was a bit weird. Did she actually find the happiness she has longed for?

Yodaime Hokage sat on a cloud, drinking Mountain Dew code red. He drank as much as he wanted cuz he's in ninja heaven. Yodaime was surrounded by a harem of hot angels who catered to his every whim. Once in a while, he would appear before someone in Konohagure just to see the expressions on their faces. Yodaime was proud of Naruto, how far he has ascended, how he took on every challenge, no matter how difficult it seemed. He still knew Jiraiya was a perv, so once in a while he would do Genjustu on him just for laughs (lol, random)

Next Morning

Naruto woke up to the sound of chirping birds and his loud stomach.

"Gaah, I gotta eat something..." He said as he searched his cabinets for food of some sort. When he got to his pantry, he heard the doorbell ring. Naruto sighed and opened the door. Gaara and Temari waved and Temari smiled. Gaara did not cuz he hates smiling...he once killed a guy for smiling.

"Naruto-kun! Let's go to the waffle house!" Temari said as she waved her wallet. "Its quadruple decker Tuesday!" She said as she beamed a smile.

"Ugh, lets go get some damn waffles! My belly demands it!" Gaara moaned in his monotonic voice.

"What about Sakura-chan, is she coming with us?" Naruto asked.

"Yep, Sakura invited someone else, too." Temari told her BF.

"Neat, who is it?" Naruto asked with a smile, but he quickly pouted as his stomach scrunched and garbled.

"That Hyuuga girl," Temari replied to Naruto.

"She smells like Talcum powder" Gaara said in a somewhat humorous way.

"Okay, lets go to the waffle house! Im so hungry I could eat a cow!" Naruto said as they met up with Sakura and Hinata.

"Hi Naruto kun" Hinata said shyly That must be the sand bish who stole my man

"Hey Hinata chan" Naruto replied, spaced out as usual. "Were going to the Waffle House for breakfast!"

"Yep, let's go before the place gets full" Sakura replied as they walked down the sunlit streets.

In the Konoha Waffle House

Everyone sat down and waited for their breakfast to be prepared for them in the diner. Temari sat next to Naruto, Sakura sat next to Gaara, and Hinata sat on Naruto's opposite side.

I have to find a way to pull them apart... Hinata thought to herself.

Naruto ate his large waffle and wiped the whipped cream off of his face. Hinata kicked her heel at Temari's ankle as she was not looking.

"Ow! Naruto, what was that for?" Temari asked.

"What? What did I do, Tema Chan?" Naruto wondered.

"You kicked my ankle!" Temari winced.

"No I didn't, why would I do that?" Naruto replied.

"I don't know, but next time, watch your feet please." Temari winced.

"That wasn't me, Tema chan!" Naruto replied nervously.

As they bickered, Sakura and Gaara stared at each other and told funny stories as they split a jumbo waffle.

"So, Gaara, what do you do for fun?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"Kill" Gaara replied

"Er...anything else?" Sakura asked, a bit nervously.

"I like to jump on sand dunes and sand surf" Gaara replied.

"Sand surf?" Sakura asked, quite interested.

"Yep, best way to travel." Gaara replied flatly.

"Neat, you and I should do that sometime." Sakura replied.

Gaara managed a small smile, even though he only smiles when he kills something, this smile was warm and relaxed.

"Oopsey" Hinata said as she spilled soda on Temari on purpose.

"What was that for, Hina chan?" Temari asked as she got several napkins.

"Sorry, I slipped..." Hinata said, trying her best to look innocent.

"Naruto, can I talk to you for a second..." Temari said as she grabbed him by the arm.

Naruto and Temari were near the bathrooms. Temari had a very upset look on her face.

"Naruto, I have a feeling your friend is out to get me...you know, like she's jealous or something." Temari said.

"Sakura chan? She wouldn't hurt a fly, she's harmless"

"No, not her...the purple haired one...the shy one...she has a grudge against me or something."

"Hinata? Why would she be jealous. She has the potential to bag Mr. Right."

"I don't know, I think she likes you too. Remember when she attacked me at the dance in Suna?

"Yeah...I think you got a point...lets finish our waffles, I'll see if I can talk to her.

The group finished their breakfast. Temari was still wet with soda and Hinata had a somewhat victorious look on her face. Before Temari left, she asked Naruto if he could find out what was up with Hinata. Gaara and Sakura hugged and parted. The nins walked their separate paths to their homes. Gaara rode on Temari's fan back to Sunakagure.
