Ah, the maybe game, I loved typing up that one, and for anyone else worried about it, no, the entire story is not going off the movie, because I thought up some better plot twists. (Cackles happily)

Running into You

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was slowly regaining brain function. Finally, I was able to think and move again.

"You okay,' Naruto asked nervously.

I gave a light nod in response, but also said weakly, "I'll be fine."

"Okay, so, what are you going to wear tonight?"

Suddenly, I realized we had another problem.

"I need to go get an outfit, you?"

"Uh…."

"Guess we need to go shopping."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I sighed. The maybe game was getting pretty annoying. Therefore, I decided to change the topic entirely.

'So, what are you wearing tonight?"

"…uh…."

"You don't have anything do you loser?"

"Oh, and you do?"

"No, that's why I asked, now I can drag you along on my shopping expedition.

"Scared to go alone?"

"Shutup."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I can't believe I actually let him drag me to the mall so he could find costumes for us. I must have been experiencing a moment of temporary insanity.

He's managed to get me into one of those stores with hundreds of costumes on millions of racks, and is now running around in circles picking out costumes to try on.

I sigh and lean against a wall. He will find something for me, which gives me time to think and relax.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Neji and I headed over to the one decent costume place in the mall. Once inside, I was surprised to see a familiar face.

"Hey, isn't that the kid from the diner?"

"Yeah, I think it is, but more importantly, is that Sakura?"

I froze. Damn. I was soooo dead if she found me here.

I quickly walked backwards into one of the nearby isles.

Of course, because I did not look where I was going, I ended up hitting something, no, not something, someone. I knocked into some blonde guy, okay, some really cute blonde guy.

I saw him falling in slow motion, I shot out my arms to try and prevent him from falling, but all that did was bring me down with him. Both of us ended up sprawled on the floor, me on top of him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey watch where yo…."

My sentence trailed off as I realized exactly who had knocked into me and had ended up falling with me to the floor.

I could feel the blush rising on my cheeks as he pushed himself up from on top of me. He said a soft sorry and offered me a hand to help me up.

I took it gladly.

"Thanks." I said as I dusted myself off. Thankfully, I could feel my blush receding.

He shook his head; "It was my fault for running into you in the first place."

I laughed, "Really, it's no big deal. I didn't really mind it. You could run into me anytime."

Wait, did I just say that out loud?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hold on, does he mean what I think he means?

Wow, slow down brain, just because a guy, okay, a real cut blonde azure eyed guy, just made a comment that sounded a bit like a line doesn't mean that he's actually interested. Right?

"Hey Sasuke, she left."

Thank god for Neji.

"Thanks."

"Who's gone?"

"Oh, I was dodging Sakura, my x-girlfriend."

"X?"

"I broke up with her today."

"Oh."

"Later."

Okay, now turn around and walk away. Just keep walking. Don't' think about his very pretty blue eyes, just keep going. Don't think about him at all.

"See ya later."

Agh! So much for that progress.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I ran to find Gaara. I had to tell him about this. I had held a conversation with him without making a complete idiot of myself. Yay!

Also, I've found the perfect costumes.

Ah, there he is.

"Gaara"

He looked up and gave a nod to show he was listening,

"I just held a conversation with him, and he broke up with Sakura!"

He raised his eyebrows, clearly questioning my information.

"I heard him say it himself."

"Ah, then congratulations."

"So what's up with you?" I asked noting his lack of enthusiasm.

"Just worried that meeting these guys will turn out all wrong or something like that."

"Don't worry about it. We're great friends online; it shouldn't be too difficult offline. Oh, and I found our costumes."

"What are we?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So, what happened, you look almost…happy. You like him don't you"

"No."

"Mhm, just keep saying that."

"No, really…"

"Not listening."

(Aggravated sigh of frustration)

"Come on, what do you want to wear tonight?"

"Hmmm"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
