Happy Earth Day, earthlings!
:D
Haha. So, I wrote this one-shot ONE YEAR AGO EXACTLY, and now I'm posting it. :) Yay!
Drea1284: Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, besides Naruto eating a frog and all that. . . :)
Kygolie: Well, everyone has their different writing styles; there's nothing wrong with that. :) Aw, it's not THAT bad. . . ;D
C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only: Well. . . It's eight now. . . Yes. I'm serious. . . :)
Franoncrack: Liaison is officially complete. I liked where I ended that last chapter, so there won't be an Epilogue, like I promised. Sorry. And thanks for the review. :D
ChasingProse: Hahaha. I think everyone has that problem at least once in their lifetime. . .
izzybell117: Oh, thanks so much! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Toph43: Thanks. :)
Disclaimer: Oh, Kishimoto, we all know I'd have killed off Sasuke by now if I owned it.
Earth Day.
"Dearest TenTen, what are you doing?" questioned Lee.
The three were in an unoccupied training ground, resting on the grass.
Merely seconds ago, TenTen had moved to a nearby tree and had started secretly working.
Neji and Lee ignored her at first but as the time period grew longer, they grew more curious.
"I'm planting a tree," TenTen finally answered.
Lee's thick brows raised slightly. He moved around her to view the process.
TenTen's hands were cupped around dark earth.
In the center, a sprig of green was perched, expectant.
"Why?" inquired Lee a moment later after careful consideration.
"Because it's Earth Day," muttered TenTen, grimacing as she cautiously moved the earth containing the plant further back into the tree stump before her.
Thoughtful, Neji and Lee watched a bit longer.
"Why do you plant a tree on Earth Day?" Neji quietly asked.
TenTen, distracted, glanced up at him.
"It's a way of saying to the earth, 'I appreciate you'," she replied. "I do this every year."
The three grew silent once more and kept their eyes on the small shoot, fixated.
"Happy Earth Day," Lee murmured softly.
TenTen smiled at he and Neji.
"Happy Earth Day," she returned, smiling.
Happy Earth Day, lovelies.
Please leave a review. :)
