Sorry for being so evil last time and leaving you with a (scary music playing) cliffhanger. I was hoping to get more reviews, but instead I only got three!!! Did you like the first chapter better than the second or something? Thanks to those of you who reviewed my last chapter and the rest of you can burn in the hot place... I meant California :-P Does anyone else think it's weird that I'm a girl and yet two of the three gerbils are boys? Anyway, here's my third chapter of Gaara's Therapy .

Gaara's Therapy

Chapter 3: First Treatment

The one word uttered at the cliffhanger was not actually said by Gaara, but Shikamaru's mother. "Shikamaru! Dinner's ready!" "Ok, mom. Just a second I'm with a patient," Shikamaru said impatiently. "Women.... Anyway first treatment, I think you are thinking too much of yourself and you need to learn to think of others. So you should get a pet. They require responsibility and care, which are two things you need to learn, so treatment one is get a pet," he scribbled this down on his notes and handed them to Gaara. " Now goodbye. See you next week."

Gaara trudged slowly home. He didn't want to get a small cute animal. It would ruin his scary and tough reputation. Oh well, I guess I could squish anyone who laughed at me, he thought. Temari and Kankurou were waiting in the house when he got there. "What did he say, Gaara?" Temari asked curiously. "Did he say you'd have to go to a mental institution and never come out?" Kankurou asked hopefully. "Here," Gaara muttered tossing the paper at Temari and going up to his room. A few minutes later, Temari managed to convince Gaara to go to the pet store with her and Kankurou.

When they got there, Kankurou went off to look at the lizards, because they could eat bugs. As he looked he thought of ways to get revenge on Shino. Temari went off to look at cats remembering the time Shikamaru got her one ( a future fanfic). Gaara hated cats since they used the litter box (sand) and reptiles freaked him out, so he went over to look at the dogs. As Gaara approached, he saw Sasuke there. Curious, he approached quietly. As he got closer, he heard Sasuke's voice. "You're such a cutey wutey puppy wuppy aren't you?" Sasuke said to a creepy hairless dog. Gaara couldn't hold it in any longer, he burst out laughing. Sasuke turned and saw Gaara and quickly walked away with his face bright red. Gaara looked and saw a Jack Russell puppy (Jack: That dog stole my name! I'm gonna sue!!!!!) Stealing toys from all the other dogs and barking at any that tried to get them back. Gaara quickly bought the dog. Temari practically dragged Kankurou (who was wildly muttering something about revenge) out of the store.

"What are you going to name her?" Temari asked. "It's not a her, it's a boy!" Gaara answered. "Yes it is. Look." Gaara looked. "Darn it! You're right!" "So... what are you gonna name her?" 'Princess' Gaara thought. "Spike," he replied. All night the dumb creature made him throw the stick over and over and over until it curled up on his lap and went to sleep. 'Aww, she's so cute,' Gaara thought. 'SQUISH THE INNOCENCE!!!' Shukaku yelled. The next morning, Kankurou yelled. Spike had destroyed his room and used the bathroom on Karasu. Kankurou was speechless with anger, but afraid he would be squished if he yelled at Gaara or the puppy. Gaara instantly knew he would like this puppy.

That's the end of my third chapter. The next chapter will be even better when Gaara starts to make new friends because of the puppy, but will his treatment be a success? Read to find out. I won't post the next chapter until I have at least four more reviews. So REVIEW OR ELSE!!!!!

Grandma Sniffles: You all must review this time or I shall send my army of evil minions the PIGEONS after you!!! Why are you laughing?!?! Pigeons are the most evil dirty, disgusting, disease carrying rats with wings EVER!!!!! (Charley and Jack drag her away in a straightjacket)
