You know what? Screw mid terms, this idea came up and I needed to write it or else I'd forget. I got my report back, I'm doing okay. 76 average… but I can do better. Next semester for sure I'll get an 80 average. YAH! Stupid geo project…it sucks. Oh well, that's life.

Well on with the commentary.

joekool: Yay more suggestions! I'll take into consideration. Thank you!

Kenni: Thanks! I find the hardest to keep in character is Sasuke, Hinata and Neji. Neji and Sasuke are like these stoic bastards though I don't want to think of them that way, haha. Hinata is just so quiet and shy. Forgive me if they seem OOC!

Samantha: I knew those thingys were called strobe lights! Except I wasn't sure. Thanks for reassuring me!

drakness'-angel: I know eh? I'm so jealous of Sakura now!

Sakura: Yes you should be cause Sasuke-kun kissed me! MEEEE!

Me: Shaddup, stop rubbing it in!

Sasuke: I was forced…

Sakura: NUU! YOU CANNOT DENY YOUR LOVE TO MEH SASUKE-KOOOONNNN!

Sasuke: O.O Uh….

cotton.kiwi: Hehe bribes! I love them. Don't you?

SasukeLuver678: True, true! When I went with my friends the guy we went to first opened to doors, stared and said "A lot of people…aren't you too old for this?" And I shouted, "Your never to old!"

blacksheep18: You really think so? Awww! Tank ya!

Honorable Ninja: Aww! I'm blushing! Teehee Thanks!

fRenZ4EveR: Lol Spazz attack? XD Yeah, I'm gonna do monthly for my other story cause there's school work, projects, etc. Plus it's hard updating two stories in one week. There might be 3 fics soon cause I'm thinking of another fic to write.

pUrpLy sTaR: Thanks! There will be more SasuSaku coming up! Nearing winter, there'll be more of that plus NaruHina and InoShika.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so blah.


Halloween had past and now it was the second week of November. It was starting to get cold and the school had announced that today was the day to change from their summer uniforms to their winter ones.

For the girls, the winter uniform was dark blue and this time it wasn't a short-sleeved blouse it was a long-sleeved shirt. The cuffs on the shirt were lined with white and their ties were white instead of dark blue. On the left arm was the school symbol which was a swirl with a line sticking out at the end and a little arrow. The skirt was still the same though.

For the boys, it was practically the same colour as the girls except for the shirt which was long-sleeved. The school symbol this time was not on their sleeves but on their white ties. Their pants were the same.

School had let out and the girls were sitting on the bench outside while the guys circled around. As the chattered puffs of smoke came out after every word. It was that coldand it was only the second week of November.

"Gah, I'm freezing!" exclaimed Sakura as she rubbed her hands together and shivered.

"You should've brought a thicker coat." laughed Tenten.

"I thought about it but I didn't actually think it'd be this cold today so I left it at home." said Sakura thoughtfully.

"I've got an idea!" shouted Naruto with a huge light bulb shining over his head.

"What is it?"

"I know where we can get away from the cold and warm up!"

Their faces lit up, eager to find out what his idea was.

"Soooo what is it!" asked Ino excitedly.

"Hurry up and spit it out already." said an impatient Neji.

"Well, remember about the ad saying a new café would open today?"

The sentence was slowly processed in their heads.

"Isn't that the café that's suppose to be the hottest spot to hang out?" asked Hinata.

"It's not suppose to, it's going to." corrected Naruto.

They rolled their eyes.

"Well, what about it?"

"We could go to the café today!"

"I guess…"

"What's it called anyway?"

"I think it's called Café Milky or something…" (Yes odd name…)

"Um…that's an odd name…" Sakura said.

"Well how about it?"

"Sounds good."

"Better than nothing."

"I feel like having a cappuccino anyways."

"Yosha! So what time?" cheered Naruto.

"How about at 7?" suggested Shikamaru.

"Sounds about right."

"Whatever."

"Sure."

"Whose driving?"

"I will!" piped up Tenten.

All of them looked at her in horror.

"Okay, anyone can drive, EXCEPT for Tenten. I do NOT want to die young." said Shikamaru.

Tenten shot him glares and curses while everyone laughed.

"I'll drive." said Sakura raising her hand.

"Same." said Sasuke and Shikamaru.

"Alright, so we'll all meet at Café Milky at 7!"


7 o'clock came fast and the whole group was now heading towards the new café. Well…some of the group. Sakura's car pulled up to the café first. She got out of her silver Jeep (I love jeeps…got two of em at home. BWAHAHAHA) followed by Ino coming out of the passenger side.

Sakura had of course ,obviously, changed out of her uniform. She had on her white scarf and grey trench coat. Underneath was a white turtleneck sweater and black hip hugger jeans.

Ino had also changed as well. She had on a white jacket with a brownish scarf. Underneath she wore a light blue turtleneck and white flared jeans.

Both of them walked into the café, looking around at everything that was inside. Couches were set around the room. Low long tables were set in front of the couches so people who sat down could put their cups on it. In front of the area where people made coffee, chairs were set up around it so people could watch their drinks being made and sit there as well.

The walls were painted to look like the city streets and the night sky making it look like a place for teens to hang out. Pool lights hung from the ceiling giving the room a dim look which suited the atmosphere well.

All in all, the place looked great to both of the girls. It certainly will be the most popular place to hang out.

"I guess we're early." said Sakura looking around the café, trying to see if their friends were there yet.

"Come on let's get a spot." nudged Ino.

Sakura followed Ino to one of the squishy looking couches. Flopping down, she heaved out a sigh.

"This is so comfortable." smiled Sakura with her eyes closed.

Ino nodded in agreement, plopping herself in the couch in front of Sakura. Their bodies were aching after the little hang out after school because right after they had a volleyball game at another school. Too bad it wasn't a home game though. Both wanted their friends there to watch them play.

Both would've wanted to say they won. But they didn't, only losing by one point. Hey, that's how it is right? Maybe next time!

"I think I see Naruto." Ino said pointing over too a bouncing bubbly blond.

"Not only that, I can hear him." laughed Sakura.

Soon enough, they could both see Naruto followed by a scowling Sasuke.

"Tell me again why I let you eat in my car." glared Sasuke.

"You didn't. I just did it on my own free will." grinned Naruto.

"What happened?" asked Ino curiously.

Naruto sat next to Sakura across from Ino.

"I brought a thermos of ramen and ate it in Sasuke's car."

"Not only that, he spilled it every wear. My car's gonna smell like chicken for a whole month!"

Sakura and Ino laughed and Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"It wasn't my fault. You just had to run over speed bumps and pot holes!" he argued.

"What else was I suppose to do! Drive on the sidewalk?"

"That's a suggestion for next time." pointed out Naruto.

"Your impossible." sighed Sasuke rolling his eyes.

"Heh, I won." Naruto grinned.

"Whatever."

"Oi, oi. Arguing already? How troublesome." drawled a familiar voice.

"Shi-kun!" squealed Ino latching herself onto Shikamaru's arm. (Yeah…that's more like a coupley thing to do. But hey, I'll make her flirt like that. Bwehehehe)

"Ino…" he sighed.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"Nevermind." he said shaking his from side to side and slowly sat down next to her. Tenten, Neji and Hinata followed him from behind as he drove them.

They said their hello's to each other and made themselves comfortable on the couch with Sakura, Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke on one side and Ino, Shikamaru, Tenten and Neji on the other.

After settling down, a waitress approached them. She looked at the group and her eyes landed on Sasuke and smiled.

Sasuke felt her eyes land on him and her smile. (WTF? How does he do that!) He inwardly groaned. He did NOT need another fan girl.

Sakura had also felt the girl's eyes land on Sasuke. HER Sasuke. …Wait…did she just say HER? What was she thinking! Of course Sasuke wasn't hers! But hell, that stupid waitress was pissing her off. Looking at Sasuke like that, only she could do it! WAIT! She's thinking about it again….

Sakura cleared her throat. "We'd like to order now please."

"Oh yes!" said the waitress snapping out of her, um trance.

"Two vanilla frapacappuccinos, 4 café lattes, and 2 hot chocolates." Sakura ordered.

"Please also add one cherry cheesecake, 2 chocolate cakes, 3 cream puffs, and 2 chocolate éclairs." Tenten said politely.

The waitress frantically scribbled everything down. Finally with one last check to make sure she had all their orders down she went on her merry way to bring back the drinks and food.

"I can't wait to try out their drinks." said Tenten excitedly.

"Don't forget the desserts!" exclaimed Naruto. (I nearly forgot that word, desserts.)

For the next few minutes they chattered away, gossiping about the latest news around the school. Well, the girls were, the guys were talking about sports. Sometimes there were random conversations including all of them or sometimes just a few of them just conversing with each other.

The same waitress was now approaching them again, this time with a platter full of mugs.

"Vanilla frapacappuccinos," she said. Sakura and Tenten raised their hands and the mugs were passed towards them.

"Café lattes," she said again. This time Sasuke, Neji, Naruto and Hinata raised their hands.

"And, hot chocolates." The last two drinks were handed to Shikamaru and Ino.

"I'll be back with the desserts." the waitress said with a wink. Which was directed to Sasuke, who shuddered, and where Sakura scowled sending death glares to the girl.

"Sakura, who are you glaring at." asked Hinata curiously.

"I'm not glaring." Sakura huffed; embarrassed that her friends caught her shooting death glares at the waitress.

Sasuke of course knew exactly what she was glaring at. It was pretty obvious.

"Jealous?" he smirked.

Sakura gave him a look and turned a bit red.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh Sakura, don't deny it." Sasuke tsked.

"Oh, shut-up." she snapped, getting redder by the second.

Sasuke's smirk grew wider.

"Um, what are they talking about…" asked a confused Naruto.

"Wouldn't know." said Ino.

"They're in their own little world." muttered Neji.

As they laughed the waitress again walked over to them this time holding a platter of delicious looking desserts. Carefully she handed each of them their desserts until…

"Ahh!" the waitress tripped and the platter tipped. On the platter was the cherry cheesecake and was about to land on Hinata. Naruto watched wide eyed and did the first that went into his mind.

"Noooooooooooooooo!" he yelled out while flinging himself ,in slow motion, in front of Hinata, protecting her from the deadly cheesecake.

"Uh…is he doing that in slow motion?" Ino asked dumbfounded.

"Is that even possible…" Tenten said amused.

"Arggggg!" Naruto shouted, which meant he was hit.

"I've been hit!"

"Naruto-kun!"

Naruto's voice became raspy. "It's okay Hinata. Don't worry about me…"

"Naruto you idiot. Get up." came Neji's gruff voice.

"Huh? What?"

"He said get up dobe."

"Your making a scene." said Shikamaru with closed eyes.

"Aw man! You guys ruined the moment!" whined Naruto.

The 3 boys rolled their eyes.

Idiot…

Stupid dobe…

Troublesome…

The girls were sweat dropping, except Hinata who was wiping the cherry stain off Naruto's white shirt.

"I'm really sorry!" the waitress said, frantically apologizing.

"Don't worry about it it was just an accident." Hinata said to the girl.

"No I'm really sorry! I should have watched where I was going."

The girl got up and suddenly walked away.

"What the...what happened there?"

In a flash, the girl was back bu this time holding a slip of paper.

"Here the next time you come you will receive a free drink for two and a free dessert for two as well. I hope this kind of makes up for what I did!"

"Ah...thank you...and please, it's alright." Hinata calmly said to the girl.

The girl nodded a bit and then turned around and walked away.

"Oh, hold on a sec, my phone." said Shikamaru.

"Hello."

Pause

"Now?"

Pause

"But I'm out."

Pause

"What!"

Pause

"This is really troublesome."

Pause

"Can't you get someone else to do it?"

Pause

"-sigh- Fine, I'll be back in 15 minutes. Bye"

With a flick, Shikamaru's flip phone snapped shut.

"Sorry guys, mom's calling. I need to get home."

"It's okay Shikamaru." Hinata said.

"Do you really need to leave Shi-kun?" Ino asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry Ino, but yes. Something happened at home. I swear they always have to fiddle with the fuse box. Now the power's out at home." he sighed.

"Okay…"

Ino went over and gave Shikamaru a quick hug and bid her farewell, followed by everyone else's good-byes.


"I swear, you should never go out with anyone even if other people say you should!" exclaimed Ino.

"I know!" agreed Tenten. "I remember a girl from my archery team, everyone told her that she should go out with Shinji. She was going to but I asked her if she even liked him, and she said no."

"They just love to pressure people into doing those things." snorted Sakura.

"Can we talk about something else?" groaned Naruto.

"Like what?"

"I don't know…"

"What about your volleyball game?" suggested Hinata.

"Yeah!" said Tenten with her eyes lighting up with interest. "What did happen. Did you guys win?"

The other two boys were now interested in where this conversation was going. They were eager to find out what had happened.

"Well…" began Ino.

"We lost by a point." finished Sakura.

"It's okay! There's always next time." said Hinata smiling.

"True." nodded Sakura. "You should've seen our block!"

"The other team was going in for a spike and they made contact with the ball. Sakura, myself and Kina were at the front so when we saw the ball coming we obviously jumped up with our arms in the air. So the ball came, we thought we'd never be able to block it, but ha! It hit our arms and went back to the other side and on the floor!" Ino told them with excitement. (That actually happened in one of the volleyball tournaments last year. Best play ever. Go me with the block! XD)

"Ah! That's amazing!"

"Wish I could've seen it."

"Good job."

Ino and Sakura grinned.

"Haha, then there was this other time during the game. When I spiked it, it didn't exactly go straight down. It actually hit someone's face first." Sakura said sheepishly.

"The girl ended up with a broken nose." laughed Ino.

"Nice job, Sakura." Sasuke said with a hint of sarcasm. Lucky for him Sakura didn't catch it, but if she did she didn't show that she did.

Neji smirked.

"Sakura, you should ease up on your power."

"I think I should…the school gym floor has enough dents in it already."

"Um…"

They sweat dropped.

Note to self. Do NOT get Sakura mad. They all thought at the same time.

Muffled rings could be heard a few seconds later.

"Oh, my phone." said Ino.

The rings got louder when she pulled out a small silver Samsung flip phone. The rings abruptly stopped when she answered.

"Hello?"

Pause

"Yup, this is Ino. Oh hi Mrs. Nara!" Ino smiled.

Pause

"I'm fine."

Pause

Ino's smile faded. Her eyes grew big. The phone clattered to the floor.

"Ino, what's wrong!"

"Are you okay?"

"What happened."

Ino pulled at her hair and looked up at her friends with fearful eyes.

"Shi-Shikamaru…hospital…accident…" she whispered.


I'm evil like that. I left a cliffhanger didn't I. Bwahahaha It's a short chapter, I know. But I couldn't add anything else for some reason. But I rpomsie that next chapter it will be longer and yeah.

Yay, I'm doing rock climbing in gym! Well, actually rope climbing for today and yesterday. But still it was fun. I got a blister on my hand and it hurts. I can't wait until tomorrow; they'll be setting up the walls in the gym. Yay!

I guess that's all for now. I'm tired and I need sleep. Night!
