Flora: Thanks for the reviews. I think I'm updating to quickly for more than one person to review, but one per chapter is enough for me!

3. Chapter 2: Orange, Blue, and Red
Naruto yawned, flopping onto his bed. Being too lazy to see what he dropped on the floor, he closed his eyes.
The music of the birds awoke him. Rubbing his eyes, the blond ninja sat up in bed, feeling kind of empty. It seemed as if he had something to do that he hadn't done… at least not yet. He peeked over the bed. Rubbing his eyes again, he blinked. Twice.
A scroll? Did he not leave it with one of the other two dorks? He picked up the scroll, examining it. The orange ribbon holding it closed seemed to be loose. It was as if somebody had opened it before him. Perhaps that was when Sakura touched it.
He opened the scroll up, and watched as words appeared on the scroll.
"Hai… Interesting."
As he waited, more words appeared. He yawned, and set it on a table. "I'll wait for it to finish writing. This is a nice game!"
He ran to take a quick shower. Once he exited, he sighed and grabbed the scroll.
"Now let's see what this says!"
He read it aloud.
"Uzumaki Naruto.
The way you talk,
The things you say,
They may harm what
You wish to stay.
They may wander away;
Away to a place…
A place where you cannot
Find them.
So watch what you say,
Think before you speak
And gather your courage
For things that await you
On a long journey
A long adventure
For you to fulfill."
Naruto laughed out loud. "This is a pretty good poem… but it makes no sense!" He tossed it into the wastebasket and put on his orange jacket. Then, remembering he didn't have breakfast yet, he rushed and got a pack of ramen and made himself something to eat…

Sakura yawned. Opening her eyes, she blinked to get used to the light. She groaned. She didn't want to get up so early… Looking to her right where her clock was set, she noticed it was only 6.
"Oh well… might as well get ready for the day," she thought.
She looked at the bedside table, and saw a mark. Looking closer, it was actually a ribbon. The red ribbon.
"Where's the scroll?" she instantly thought. She grabbed the ribbon and stuck it in a pocket. Rushing out, she headed toward Sasuke's…

Sasuke tumbled out of bed, looking around for a robe. Finding it with his fingers, he wearily put it on. He stood up, and glanced at the table. A blue ribbon. The scroll?
He shrugged. "I'll go ask Naruto why I got the scroll," he mumbled. Picking up the blue ribbon, he stuffed it into a pocket and strolled out of the house.
Footnote: Oh boy! That was short too…
I hope you enjoy. The plot is actually unfolding. WHEE!
