Maybelle here.
YOU ALL CAN NOW SMILE!
Just kidding.
I'm super hyper today...maybe it's the five ice cream sandwiches I had earlier today...
Hmmmm...
Anyways! Maybelle's going to be super nice!
...GAH! NO! -smacks self- STOP TALKING LIKE TOBI! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! -pounds head on desk-
Reading a fanfic with Tobi in it while listening to the weirdest of the weirdest songs on your iPod is not a good idea.
Just in case you were wondering.
ANYWAYS!
I got...less then twenty reviews.
I feel sad.
Oh well!
Those of you who did review get a cookie basket! All the cookies in it are shaped in the form of The Joys of High School characters (yes, that includes the Naruto characters, and not just my OCs) and...a chocolate bar in the shape of chibi Sia!
Sukoshi Fujisaki: Rofl. The land of teenagers is where I live... -sigh- Golden times, golden times...
kina slashie chan: ...and justice will come her way (eventually).
Kyra-Mitsu: Yes, Sia is loved by Gaara...most of the time...OK OK all of the time shi-eesh...
XxkIkIrOxX: OH MY GOD YOSH! NO! NO NO! THE WORST WORD IN THE WORLD (after 'youth' 'youthful' 'unyouthful' 'youthfully' and 'unyouthfully')! NO WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
Miorochi: Anti-drugs are good things...especially when it comes to Sia. xD. Yup. Thank kami for Anko. (and Midget Anko, a.k.a. Sia)
eyezue66613: Hmmm...you probably should...but so should everyone else in the world.
Quintessentia: Ugh. That sucks. I pity you (yes I am in high skhool and...all that jazz...yeah...) Yes, Sasukleness is being romantic...roman-antic! ...I'm going to stop now...Yeah...Hmmm...I'll see what I can do about the cameras. Gai...GAH! CREEPEH! -shudders- Um...that's classified information until you finish reading this chapter...soooooo...yeah... Well, you see, it's a long story. Sia calls Itachi Ita-weasel and Sasuke Sasu-monkey so he calls her Sia-turtle, because she hides all the time...or so he says...Um. Her favorite food is 'sugar'...so I guess it would be along the lines of 'Sia-sugar' or something like that.
randomly-creative: :D
Animecherryblossem33: That seems to happen to her a lot...maybe one day it will change...
totalnarutofangirl85: Hmmm...an interesting point. My view on this is that a). There's a lot of un-hyper guys, and so we strive for balance with hyper girls! ...yeah... And about the Gaara thing, well, if you're going along with the basic pairings (which most people do...kind of...) Gaara's just...there. Waiting to be paired up. Plus he's hot...
00Midnight Siren00: Thankies. BUT STOP BLAMING ME FOR THINGS! Shi-eesh.
ItAsAkU-LoVeR.Shido: Yes. I'm sure.
Minion 101: I applaude the 'youthfullinism'. -claps- Nice word choice, nice word choice (but I don't applaude Gai and Lee. SCARY!)
PugLuva: Comin' up soon, I promise! In-between chapters are so annoying...
cocogirl198: ...scary...very scary...DON'T SAY THE NAME!
Me and Gaara 4ever: ...you scare me sometimes... -sees Lee and Gai- O.O OH NO THE HORROR! -runs off screaming- Lee: ...What did we do? Gai: Who knows... Lee: I want youthfully to! Gai: I'm sure you youthfully will learn how... -pats Lee on the back and then runs off for some 'youthful' ramen-
Disclaimer: Uh. Nope. Sorry to disappoint.

Jerks, Fangirls, and Mean Teachers: The Joys of High School
Chapter Thirty Seven: Home Sweet…Mother? and On a Side Note, Sia gets Chased.
"GAH!" I yelped as Sasuke pushed me off of the doorjamb I had been hanging onto and into the house.
"KAMI! YOU'RE SO MEAN!" I screamed.
"Tch. If you hadn't been in the way I wouldn't had to push you."
"SO? YOU COULD OF JUST ASKED ME TO MOVE!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You wouldn't have moved."
"You two! Enough!" Itachi muttered as he stepped in the house, a servant with all our bags behind him.
"Now-" Itachi started to say, but he was interrupted.
"Welcome home you three. It's good to see you again," A feminine voice said.
I swore that all the color drained from Itachi and Sasuke's faces. I felt like nothing in the world could move my limbs.
There, standing in the doorway to the hallway that led to where our parents' bedrooms were (that they hardly ever occupied) was Mikoto Uchiha.
My mother.
"…Mom…?" Two voices. I couldn't tell if it Sasuke and I said it, or Itachi and Sasuke, or even Itachi and I, but I just felt like the whole doom had come upon us.
She smiled. "Itachi. Sydney. Sasuke."
I twitched.
Have I ever mentioned that I hate my given name?
"…Mother…what are you doing here?" I gotta give Itachi props. He recovers fast.
"Good question Itachi. Please, let us sit." She motioned for some servants to bring us food and beverages.
Looking at my brothers, I defiantly led the way into the living room, and plopped down on a couch.
Rolling his eyes, Sasuke pushed my feet off the couch, nearly causing me to fall to the floor. He sat down.
"Ass," I muttered.
"Sydney!" Mikoto reprimanded me.
"What?" I near-snapped.
"Be nicer to your brother," She sat in a loveseat, legs folded and sitting up straight.
Itachi sat in a chair.
"What do you need to talk to us about mom?" I asked. "You haven't cared for the past ten years-oh, by the way, where's your husband?"
Itachi gave me a sharp look.
Mikoto breathed in.
"That is actually why I'm here."
Silence descended on the four of us. No one felt brave enough to break it.
Finally my mother sighed.
"I know that your father and I have not been part of your lives," She started. "And I am deeply sorry for that. There's nothing I could do. You're father-"
"There was nothingyou could do?" I echoed incredulously. "Mom, he treated us like crap!"
"…" She said nothing, only tightened her grip around her cup and pursed her lips.
Itachi gave me another look. "Sia. Please let mother finish."
"…Fine…" I muttered.
"Thank you Itachi…Syd-"
"If you're going to just come back into our lives and tell us all this…bullshit-" she looked as if someone had just killed someone else in front of her- "then at least call me by my name."
"I am, Syd-"
"I think she means Sia, mom," Sasuke said quietly.
Mikoto looked absolutely floored. Like she had nothing to say.
I leaned forward. "I don't know what you expected when you came here mom…if you expected bonding or a perfect family. We're a far cry from you and…dad. Sasuke, Itachi and I are basically adults. We've grown up on our own, and we've always done things our way."
"We're not going to change," Sasuke said.
Itachi hesitated, and then stepped in again. "Mother…if you're going to live with us, you're going to have to except things the way we do them."
Mikoto bit her lip.
"…Fine…Itachi…Sasuke…"
"And Sia," said my mom.
My whole face bursts into a giant smile, and I near-tackled her to the floor.
"Love you mom," I said.
"Hnn," Itachi said.
"Tch," mumbled Sasuke.
"It's good to be back," said my mother.
The next day, I walked into school practically glowing. Everyone shielded their eyes.
"HELLO EVERYONE! BOW TO THE AWESOMENESS! SIA IS BACK!"
Everyone tried their best not to stare (because I was still glowing) but they un-epicly failed.
I saw Gaara and grinned.
"PANDA!" I jumped onto his back.
Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around my legs.
"Hnn," He said.
I smiled to myself and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Temari tactfully picked up my bag, which I had dropped on the ground and walked by…our side to homeroom.
"Tema?"
"Yeah See's?"
I stared at her speechless.
"…You just…"
"What?"
"MADE UP A NICKNAME FOR ME! I'M SO PROUD!" I started fake crying. Temari stared blankly at me.
We walked into the homeroom and Gaara put me down.
"Anyways, what were you going to say?" Temari asked me. We still had ten minutes before class started.
"…Ummm…" I wracked my brain.
She rolled her eyes.
"OH! RIGHT! I REMEMBER NOW!"
"That's nice, now, mind telling me just what you remembered?"
"My mother's home."
Silence.
"WHAT?" She nearly erupted. "Is your dad there too?"
"Uh. No."
"Why not? They're always together?"
"…I don't know…I think she's going to tell us tonight. We're going out for dinner somewhere."
"Whoa…you're not joking with me, are you?" Her eyes narrowed.
"Uh…no?"
"NO?"
I freaked. And ran.
And a minute later, I was being chased around the whole entire school by a one Pissed 'Mari who didn't know if I was telling the truth or not.
I fled back into homeroom and behind Gaara. And Gai came bursting in.
"HELLO MY YOUHTUFLLY WONDERFUL YOUTHFUL CLASS! IT IS YOUTHFULLY GOOD TO BE YOUTHFULLY BACK AT YOUTHFUL HOME, IS IT NOT?"
…How many times could he say 'youthful' in one sentence? Hmmm, maybe I needed to join the betting pool on that one…
"Uh. Gai-sensei?" I said, hesitatingly raising my hand.
"YES YOUTHFUL MISS UCHIHA?"
"…Well…you see…there's just one tiny little problem…"
"AND WHAT IS YOUTHFULLY…UNYOUTHFULLY…YOUTHFULLY THAT?"
"We're not at home, per say…We're at school."
Dead silence.
"AS MUCH AS I YOUTHFULLY ENJOY YOUR YOUTHFUL QUIPS, THIS IS NOT THE YOUTHFUL TIME AND YOUTHFUL PLACE TO YOUTHFULLY DO SO! PLEASE YOUTHFULLY MAKE YOUR YOUTHFUL QUIPS YOUTHFULLY ELSEWHERE!"
…Damn…that had to be a world record.
"I'm just saying, Gai-sensei."
"WHAT YOUTHFULLY EVER, YOUTHFUL MISS UCHIHA!"
OK…excuse me if I'm wrong but uh…did he just say whatever?
There are clearly things I do not get…and that I must figure out.
THE WORLD IS OFF BALANCE! NO!
I was having a secret panic attack, but, what I didn't know was that I was spazzing a little bit.
"…Sia…?" Neji said.
Twitch.
"…Sia?" Gaara said.
Twitch.
"…Sia…"Tenten said.
Twitch.
"See's."
Spazz.
Fall over on the ground.
Ungracefully, mind you.
"…Ow…"
"…" Temari looked at Gai. "She'll be like this for a while. Just go on with the class."
"…Are you youthfully sure?" Temari nodded.
"WELL THEN, MY YOUTHFUL CLASS, PLEASE TURN TO YOUTHFUL PAGE NUMBER…"
I am so going to get my revenge one of these days. I swear it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
...Uh...I blame listening to Katy Perry while writing a chapter.
It was serious...and then not serious...
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED!
AGH!
-runs around screaming head off-
Sia: ...What is she doing?
Inner Maybelle: Who knows...
Sia: ...You don't know? Wow. I thought you would.
Inner Maybelle: Well sometimes things go through her head that I can't even begin to comprehend.
Sia: ...You mean 'most of the time', right?
Inner Maybelle: -shifty eyes- ANYWAYS! -clears throat- Twenty reviews or more, or she'll leave y'all hanging until she gets thirty reviews. She means it this time.
Inner Maybelle: AND, HEY, NO FLAMES! OR SIA AND I AND MAY-CHAN WILL COME AND HUNT YOU DOWN AND YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY!
Sia: We can be absolutely furocious when we want to be.
Inner Maybelle: SO HA, DEAL WITH IT FOOS!
-stuffs Maybelle in a box- Sorry about that. Sia, why did you let her talk?
Sia: ...No reason...
... -glares at Sia- -does the 'I'm watching you' sign-
Ja ne,
Lady Maybelle of Confusion
Inner Maybelle

The Uchihas (Sydney Uchiha (Sia), Itachi Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha)
