I looked at my friends and smiled, they were fast asleep in there own dreams and thoughts. Looking at there faces reminded me that friends are all I needed, not an idiotic bastard like Uchiha. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, only hearing the sounds of the plane.
Chapter 2: The memories, The Teddy bear, and best friends.
Sakura's POV
The announcements on the plane were about to begin. "We are now arriving to our destination to Konoha. Will you all please remain in your seats, and fasten your seat belts, thank you."
I had just woken up, but my eyes were still closed, and I had smelled something sweet, it smelled like, it smelled like... cookies... and who else would it be having cookies right in the morning, you guessed it! Ino pig.
I opened my eyes to look at Ino; I found her stuffing her face with the delicious chocolate chip cookies.
"Um... Ino, are you alright... you've been eating cookies a lot lately, and, I'm started to worry..." I said in a concerned voice, was she just normally craving cookies like a crazy person, wait, hold that thought, eating cookies this much isn't NORMAL, its the total opposite! I continued to stare at her. She turned to me and wiped her face clean from all the small cookie crumbs, she stared me straight in the eyes and said...
"Want one?" She held one of her cookies out to me. I looked at her as if she was crazy, but what the hell, ONE cookie wouldn't hurt... or would it... I mean, look what it did to Ino! Now she's like the cookie monster from Sesame Street! Except she's more stylish than the blue guy, and she had silkier hair AND... shes worst... but enough with that! I was hungry, and chocolate chips were my favorite.
"Sure, why not." I took it and said thank you to her, and I started munching away.
Just then, Hinata woke up and noticed the plane was landing, she looked beside her to see me eating my delicious cookie, she looked really tired, I gave her my warm friendly smile that I would normally give everyone, and she gave me hers. She turned to look at her other side where she saw Tenten still asleep hugging a teddy bear... wait a second a teddy bear?!
I saw Hinata staring at the teddy bear as if she was waiting for it to do something incredibly amazing. Then, as if it was a sucking machine, I couldn't get my eyes off it too, it just looked so familiar. Ino saw the two of us staring at it so she tried to figure what the fuss was about. She took her seat belt off to get to Tenten since she was all the way on the other side... bad mistake.
The plane started landing and it shook like crazy, Ino lost her balance and fell right on Tenten. Tenten shot up and started suffocating, her teddy bear flew right on Hinata's lap, and Ino's cookie fell on the floor.
"INO YOU IDIOT!" I yelled at her, why the hell would she take her seat belt off right when they said not to.
Tenten yelled and started choking.
"INO! GET THE HELL OFF ME! I CAN'T BREATH! YOU'RE ON MY LUNGS! ACK!" Tenten was screaming badly now and Hinata just sat there observing the teddy bear in her lap.
All the other passangers were staring at the scene all four of us were making, little kids laughed at Tenten and Ino, and the parents and adults were shaking there heads in diagreement to what we were doing.
I tried getting Ino off Tenten, but she was all dizzy now, and she was murmuring something under her breath, I think she was saying 'mommy, mommy, mommy' numerous times, don't ask me why, she just did.
Hinata was still observing the teddy bear, and suddenly something appeared on her face, was that a... a... Oh my god! It WAS a smirk!
Hinata turned to all the chaos in front of her, Ino was now right on top of Tenten, who was suffocating and was almost the color purple, and I was leaning over Hinata trying to get Ino off of Tenten.
She sweat dropped and said calmly and surprisingly without a stutter.
"Ino, your cookie is on the floor."
Ino's eyes shot wide open.
"COOOOOKKKIIEEE! NOOOOOOOO!" She yelled dramatically like a crazy animal and jumped off of Tenten, and "accidentally" slapped me across the face.
Tenten took a deep DEEP breath and thanked god that she had lived.
Ino began crying on the floor for her dear dear cookie that was now crumbled.
Hinata eyed Tenten suspiciously as she held the bear in her hands.
I was now in my seat feeling my cheek from the pain that Ino had caused.
"Tenten, where did you get this teddy bear from...?" Hinata asked now giving a smile that she had never worn on her face before.
"From a friend"
"Girl or boy"
"Ummm..."
"Lee-san or Onii-san?"
"What the hell..."
"ANSWER!"
"I DONNO WHO IT'S FROM!"
"YOU SHOULD!"
"Why?!"
"BECAUSE!"
"Hinata your acting like Ino..."
"NO I'M NOT! NOW ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION!" We all gasped at the "bad" word Hinata had first ever said in her entire life, then Tenten continued with their argument.
"NO!"
"ANSWER OR I'LL TELL MY COUSIN THAT YOU ARE SCARED OF BUNNIES!" Tenten stared at Hinata with fearful eyes and gasped.
Only the four girls knew about her fear of bunnies.
"AHA! I KNEW IT! YOU DO LIKE MY COUSIN!" Hinata was happy with her victorious effort to get Tenten to admit something like thing, and plus, it's the first time we had ever seen Hinata like this.
"Give me him!" Tenten said as she grabbed the teddy bear from Hinata and hugged it like it was her baby.
"Neji-kun gave him to me when I was 8." Tenten confessed, still hugging the teddy bear.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that! I was there when Neji-san gave it to her. Just then, that memory on that wonderful night came back to me.
Flash Back
(Authors Note: In this flashback, this will be from the 8 year old Sakura, just wanted to make that clear)
It was the day when the amusement park had finally opened for the first time. Everything in it was amazing! The roller coasters, the fares wheel, and all the other magnificent rides! And best of all, all my friends are coming.
I was walking down the sidewalk with Naruto and Sasuke; all three of us were eating our favorite ice-cream.
"Hey hey Sasuke! Let's go on the rollercoaster!" Naruto said waving the ice-cream around the place as he talked, of course some of it splattered on me and Sasuke.
"Ewwww, Naruto you goof! You got it in my hair!" I tried getting it out but, unfortunately I couldn't get the sticky part out.
Sasuke just wiped it off since it was only on his skin.
"Okay! Let's go!" Sasuke said cheerfully, they began to run.
"Wait! What about me!" I yelled, I didn't like it when they excluded me from there races, even though I was a girl.
All of a sudden, someone tapped me on my shoulder; it was Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Neji. I gave them my usual bright smile and looked back to my two best friends that had just raced off, I shrugged that away.
"Come on! I want to win a teddy bear! Tenten said as she dragged me along with her to the prize stand. Hinata followed us too, along with Neji since he was scared she might get lost.
Tenten was still holding onto my hand when she stopped so suddenly in her steps, she turned to a rack of stuffed animals, and there, sitting peacefully on the shelf, sat a cute light brown teddy bear with a red bow on it neck. She stood there for a while, and I was watching her as I hoped she would stop staring, it kind of gave me the creeps since she was usually a sporty type of girl, not a stuffed-animal-type-of girl.
Neji and Hinata came to stand beside us, Hinata took hold of my free hand and Neji stood beside Tenten.
"What are you looking at...?" Neji asked out of curiosity, she wouldn't pay attention to him so he started waving his hand in front of her face.
"Helloooo! Anyone home?" Neji asked, he was starting to get annoyed and very impatient.
"TENTEN!" Neji yelled in her ear.
"ACK!" Tenten yelped and she jumped up and fell on her butt.
Me, Hinata, and Neji started laughing as she started patting herself to get the dirt off.
"That wasn't funny Neji!" Tenten scolded as she pouted.
"Well if you weren't ignoring me maybe I wouldn't have done that!" Neji said in defense.
Hinata and I were looking from Tenten to Neji and Neji to Tenten as they both exchanged insults.
"YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT!" Tenten yelled, when she realized what she had said to Neji, she clasped her mouth shut.
"Gasp! Ten-Chan, you said the "I" word!" Hinata accused Tenten.
"YEAH WELL, YOU'RE A… YOU'RE A… YOU'RE A GIRLY-GIRL!" Neji yelled back.
It was my turn to gasp, that was the meanest thing anyone and I mean ANYONE, could ever say to Tenten.
Tenten looked at him and frowned, she gave him a dirty look, turned around, and stomped away.
"Neji, that was really harsh." I plainly said, Hinata agreed.
"Yeah but she called me an idiot!"
"Well you are one! You're not supposed to call Tenten a girly-girl! You know how she feels when people call her that!" I said on Tenten's behalf.
"O-onee-san, s-she is right, T-Tenten-chan is your best friend!" Hinata said to her cousin.
Neji looked on the ground beneath him ashamed.
I was about to leave when he said, "That's the teddy bear she was looking at, right?" Neji asked, referring to the cute bear that she adored.
I nodded and left.
I found Tenten sitting on the bench. Naruto and Sasuke were there with her.
Sasuke was sitting beside Tenten, and Naruto was trying to entertain Tenten to cheer her up.
"...and when I got there, I found that Sasuke had already eaten all the cheese! So I was all like, DUDE! WHY'D YOU EAT MY MASH POTATOES! ...Oh wait, I messed that up! I meant to say... DUDE! WHY'D YOU EAT MY CHEESE!?" Naruto said, fortunately, he did get a few chuckles out of Tenten, but I think she was laughing at his stupidity, NOT his lame joke.
"You're a moron, you know that?" Sasuke stated.
I chuckled as I tried to squeeze in between him and Tenten, Naruto stuck his tongue at Sasuke, and Sasuke stuck his tongue back at Naruto.
Naruto began telling us more about his lame jokes.
"Ne ne Sasuke! Let's do that thing we do to make people laugh!" Naruto suggested, apparently Sasuke didn't know what he was talking about.
"What? The one where I hit you on the head?" Sasuke guessed.
"NO! The other one!" I yelled, I knew which one he was talking about, they used it numerous times on me when I was down.
When Sasuke realized what we were talking about, he jumped up and began.
"Ok ok. So... Sasuke... What do you think of my BUFF muscles?" Naruto asked as he started doing muscle poses in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke pretended to yawn.
"They're scrawny." Sasuke replied.
"Oh yeah? Well show me yours if you have them!" Naruto yelled back, trying to contain his laughter.
Sasuke Pulled his sleeve up and showed the SAME size muscles as Naruto.
Tenten laughed for some reason.
I smiled, I was happy she was cheered up, but that didn't stop the guys from there show.
"They are the same as mines!" Naruto complained.
"No they aren't! Look! I can actually use them!" Sasuke said as he looked around.
He found a large rock that lay on the grass. He picked it up and it looked pretty heavy.
Apparently the rock was placed there for a reason. It was on top of a water sprinkler that was broken because it would never turn off.
Sasuke was the first to run off when he noticed it.
We all got sprayed as we ran away screaming. Naruto started screaming like a girl as he pounced on Sasuke.
Tenten stood there as she stared at them.
They started wrestling, it was kind of one of there hobbies.
"Tenten!" Neji screamed from a distance, he seemed to be holding something fluffy in his hands, and Hinata was chasing after him.
Tenten turned around and gasped at what he was holding. It was the teddy bear that she was looking at. She gave him a huge smile and also a huge hug.
"Oh my god Neji! Thank you so much!" She said as he handed her the bear.
"Sorry about what I said before. You aren't really an idiot. Ok maybe just a teensy weensy bit because your a boy, but hey! Who can blame you. Haha." She said as she laughed at the same time.
He understood what she meant and laughed along with her.
"I'm sorry too Tenten, if you really were a girly-girl, I would puke! Eck!" He said as he laughed too.
She laughed more.
Hinata gave them a queer look.
Naruto and Sasuke had already stopped fighting and were looking at the two of them.
Sasuke blinked several times, and Naruto started singing.
"Tenten and Neji sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!! First comes marriage then come love! Then come Sasuke in a baby carriage!" He laughed and rolled on the ground at his own joke.
"Naruto you dope! You said it wrong again! Get your jokes right... HEY WHAT THE HELL!" Sasuke yelled when he noticed the end of Naruto's joke.
I started laughing along with the others.
End of Flashback
Hinata's wicked smile changed back to her normal sweet one.
"Heh heh... so s-sorry about that..." Hinata apologized and blushed.
I chuckled.
Ino was still crying.
My friends are really weird... But they are my weird friends.
"Bleep bleep... We have now arrived at the Konoha airport. Please take off your seatbelts and gather all your luggage's and head out to the front door. Thank you for flying on Konoha airlines... bleep bleep." The announcers said.
I sighed. Here we were, about to get off the plane and start our new life in university.
Once again, I took hold of my bags, and so did my friends, although Ino's eyes were now bloodshot red from all her crying. Note to self, help Ino try to stop eating cookies, although that chocolate chip cookie was awesomely delicious, but still.
We all headed out.
I wonder what's ahead of us now.
Normal POV
Sasuke drove him and his friends to the new Konoha university.
"Holy shit! this brochure says each dorm has TWO masterbeds! and they're like fucking huge yo!" Naruto said in aw, he held a brochure in front of him of the Konoha University.
Sasuke completely ignored him. Neji was looking out the window with his cool act going on, and shikamaru was looking over Naruto's sholder trying to get a good view of the brochure too.
"We're here." Sasuke said calmly.
Four of them got out and went into the building. It was gigantic! The place looked exactly like a castle!
"Okay, so the brochure says that each appartment will only let two students live in it, and sad thing is, we don't have the choice to pick who is our roommates. How troublesome." Shikamaru said.
Leave it to him to know things and think they are troublesome for no apparent reason.
"Okay, so lets get going to the office! YATTA!" Naruto said as he punched his fist in the air.
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
They all went into the building.
