Tomoko's voice:
You're traveling in another dimension.
A dimension where things that didn't happen, happened.
Where the grass is red and monkeys rule the world.
Wait a second! What is this?!
Tomoko that's the old script!
Why didn't anyone give me the new one then?!
You were the one who went to Ichiraku's at the last minute! We couldn't get it to you.
Suoh they had 5 yen bowl fulls! And they added miso to the 1 yen value menu!
We're getting off track. Finish your monologue.
What am I supposed to say?
Improvise!
Ugh. You have now entered the Twilight Zone.
Morning, breakfast time as the Uchiha household. Sakura Uchiha is found cooking by the stove.
"Suoh, go get your siblings for breakfast", she said.
Suoh nodded and left to retrieve his brothers and sisters. He came upon the twins room. Tomoko was quietly reading a scroll and taking notes.
"Its time for breakfast", he said in a monotone.
Tomoko got up from her bed, taking the scroll with her. As she left the window opened. Tokoiyo slipped in, not noticing Suoh.
"Another night out Tokoiyo?"
She gasped and fell on her butt. She glared at her brother.
"Don't scare me like that!"
"So, who was it this time?"
"What I do is none of your business!"
Suoh sighed and went to the triplets room. They slept peacefully, Suoh first went to Haru. When he was awake Haru got up quietly and went to the kitchen. Hoshi was next, he awoke immediately and ran downstairs.
Hotaru was last, she was awakened, but fell back into her pillows. Suoh woke her againa and still Hotaru fell back in. Suoh woke her up one more time and hotaru walked there with her pillow.
Finally Suoh came to Sora's room. He picked her up from her crib and went back to the kitchen. Sakura was setting the food down on the long table where all her children sat. Suoh sat Sora in her high chair and sat in his place.
"Okay everyone, eat up. Some of us have a lot of work today", Sakura said.
Everyone starting eating. Suoh fed Sora her baby food. Hotaru yawned before biting into her toast. She then looked at the empty seat at the head of the table, then at her mother.
"Mommy, when is Daddy coming back?", she asked.
"Your Father is on a very long mission Hotaru. He won't be back for a while", Sakura answered.
"Which means never", Tokoiyo muttered.
Hotaru looked back down and ate. Sakura looked at Tokoiyo over her cup of coffee. Tokoiyo was eating her eggs.
"And how was your night Tokoiyo?", she asked.
"It was fine."
"Just fine?"
"Yes."
"Hm, I guess they can't all be perfect."
"What?", Tokoiyo questioned.
"The nights I mean, they can't all be perfect."
"Oh, right."
Sakura sighed. "I don't know why you refuse to be honest with me. I know what you're doing. I won't allow it."
"I'm not doing anything wrong."
"Not doing anything wrong?! You sneak out at night and do unspeakable things. This was not why I brought you into this world!"
"Mom you can't stop me I'm 18!"
"You still live in my house!"
"Why can't you understand?! I love doing it, and we love doing it together. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to sneak out!"
"Who is he?"
"I'm not saying", Tokoiyo crossed her arms.
"Young lady, I will not accept that. Tell me!"
Tokoiyo groaned and walked out, Sakura followed. More yells were heard. Suoh sighed and shook his head. Tomoko sat up.
"I'm needed at Tsunade's office. We're decoding a cryptic scroll and creating a manuscript in braille for our blind ninja task force."
"Be back for dinner", Suoh reminded.
Suoh finished feeding Sora and took her from her high chair. The triplets looked up at him, finished with their breakfast.
"Go to your rooms. I come later to get you dressed."
The triplets filed out and Suoh went to Sora's room. He put her in her crib and she fell alseep. Suoh looked down at her in sadness.
'She doesn't have much time left. If only Father returned. . .'
Suoh came to the triplets room. He dressed them and got them ready for the day. Hotaru gave Suoh a sad look.
"Don't worry. Tokoiyo and Mom are fine."
"What about Sora?", she asked.
Hotaru knew that Sora was born very sick. Even as a small child she sympathized with her.
"She'll be fine."
Suoh turned and the triplets started to follow him out.
"Is she why Daddy left?"
He froze.
"No", he said without looking back. "Dad left for a mission. He'll be back."
Suoh walked them to the Uzumaki residence. He knocked on the door and Hinata answered. She held her new born daughter, Yukiko. From the doorway he could see Yamato sitting on a couch.
Suoh's eyes narrowed. He looked down at the triplets.
"You guys be good. I'll be back to pick you up for dinner."
The three nodded before walking in. Hinata gave Suoh a sad look before closing the door. Yamato's head snapped up.
"I lost track of time! I've gotta go!"
"Go where?", Hinata asked.
"Bye Mom!"
Yamato ran out the door. Hinata stared at the door and sighed.
Tokoiyo was able to escape her mother. She sat on the branch of a tree in the forest, like she was waiting. Soon a spiky blue-haired boy joined her.
"You're late", she said angrily.
"I know. It wasn't until your brother came that I realized."
"Whatever. You ready?"
"Always ready."
"Don't be cocky."
"Hey, I'm the one that showed you everything", Yamato said.
Before Tokoiyo could protest he pressed his lips to hers.
