A/N: Okay, I know this story has somewhat bottomed out for the moment, but bear with me and it will pick back up. This chapter is sorta just a filler, but i thought it was kinda cute/needed and you'll see why if you read. Please Review and I'll try to update when I can. Sneak peek to the first person that can name the song used here. WHICH I DO NOT OWN!

-Zendaya-

I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and checked myself in the mirror one last time before walking out of my room to head downstairs. I started humming a random song that popped in my head as I did so. I didn't know why, but I was really happy for some reason.

-Gaara-

I sat on the couch next to Temari who was reading some kind of scroll and Kankuro was sitting in the chair across from us working on one of his puppets.

"She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls."

I heard from upstairs and blinked in surprise.

"I feel a premonition, that girl's gonna make me fall."

I looked at Temari and Kankuro to see if they heard it too and saw they had shocked looks on their faces and were looking around trying to figure out where it was coming from. I heard humming and turned to see Zendaya coming down the stairs. She headed for the kitchen and I realized it was her who was humming and singing.

"She's into new sensations, new kicks in the candle light.

She's got a new addiction, for every day and every night."

I looked back at my siblings before getting to my feet and silently walking towards the kitchen. I stopped in the doorway and watched as Zendaya moved around the kitchen humming and singing to herself as she cooked something for herself.

"She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.

She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain

Like a bullet to your brain! Come on."

She had a beautiful voice, I couldn't believe it. She was full of surprises. I blushed as I realized she was dancing as she sang. She was moving her hips and I couldn't take my eyes off her.

-Kankuro-

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Gaara get up and follow Zendaya into the kitchen. I was shocked when I heard her singing, but she had a really good voice. I could even hear her from in here.

"Upside, inside out, she's livin la vida loca.

She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca.

Her lips are devil red, and her skin's the color mocha.

She will wear you out, livin la vida loca

Come on!"

Whatever song she was singing, it was rather catchy. I wonder how Gaara was reacting to it?

-Gaara-

I felt my heart speed up and that warm feeling from the other day come back and take over my body. I didn't understand it, but I couldn't take my eyes off Zendaya as she kept singing and dancing.

"Livin la vida loca

Come on!

She's livin la vida loca."

She said and turned around. When her eyes met mine she let out a squeak and I saw her almost fall from turning around too quickly. I used my sand to catch her before she could hit the floor and helped her back to her feet.

"T-Thanks."

She said with a blush on her face and I averted my eyes away from her. I couldn't believe I'd been staring at her, but I couldn't help it.

Silence fell between us and I didn't like it.

You're finally alone with her you idiot, apologize.

Shukaku said and I was shocked he was being helpful, but did as he said.

"Uh, Zendaya?"

I asked as I looked back up at at her. I noticed her blush darkened and she waited for me to continue.

"About the other day..."

I started and when I saw her cock her head to the side in a sign of clear curiosity I contined before I could get interupted.

"I'm sorry for lying to you!"

I said quickly and waited for her to say something. After what felt like forever, she finally spoke.

"It's fine. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. I'm sure you tried to get away, but you're just not the kind of person to hurt people's feelings on purpose no matter what the reason."

She said and I stared at her in shock. First, because she had accepted my apology and seemed to forgive me, and the fact she seemed to understand me. It was remarkable really, she didn't know about my past and what I did, or the beast I housed within myself so she wasn't afraid of me. She talked to me and treated me like a person. She was the only person to do that and I was grateful to her for that.

"Want some?"

She suddenly asked, pulling me from my thoughts and I looked down at her hands to see her offering me a plate of food. She'd made too much again and I couldn't help but smiling slightly.

"Yeah."

I said before stepping towards her and grabbing a fork from the drawer.
