Disclaimer: I don't own NARUTO

When Autumn went to the NARUTO World it was November, but she was there until the next full moon, which was the next month. Then she left in December, and now it's April.

Months Later (April)…

Autumn had finally relaxed into a normal lifestyle. She would get up, get dressed, and go to school on weekdays, and on weekends, she would sleep late and watch cartoons. Itachi must've been wrong when he said that her high chakra levels were part of a bloodline, because now all seemed fine. Ever since she left, she was able to sleep regularly, and her chakra levels seemed fine too. She still practiced ninjutsu in her spare time, but that was only if she was bored. She was close to becoming a taijutsu master too. It was because of her former lessons that she was so good at it.

Life was nice, and school was... school. After (purposely) ignoring Daniel's persistent hints, Autumn had decided that he really needed a girlfriend. After a week of planning, she and the rest of the 'newly formed' group, renamed "Konoha", set him up with the only other person that wanted a date, Lyn. Apparently the leaders of the group had started watching Naruto and thought it was a good idea to change their name. Annabel, the group's main leader, had become unusually interested in matchmaking lately, and she had even tried to make Autumn go on a date with JJ! Yes, things were finally back to normal.

May had become more social, and had (finally) started to make more friends within the group. In the time that Autumn had been gone, everyone had seemed to forget about Halloween, and her popularity had gone down, so no one had really noticed her absence. Not including her teachers. They of course noticed. All of her homework had been delivered to her house, meaning that she couldn't go back to school until her month's worth of homework was finished.

"Fall!" Autumn turned around to see May running toward her. It was Thursday afternoon, and school had ended for the day. The two friends were having a sleepover on the vacationing floor of Autumn's house. It was the night of the full moon again, and since then, Autumn never liked spending it alone. She remembered the days after she had come home. Her jutsu had accidentally transported the whole room into her house. It took weeks before she could put everything away. While in the process, Autumn had taken the liberty to examine some of the scrolls. The open one that she had found on the table seemed familiar enough. They had used the jutsu in an episode once, even though they didn't show the scroll. It was used to bring the dead back to life. It still required a sacrifice, but that was okay, Autumn wasn't planning to use it anyway. Another one was for the body transfer jutsu. Ew. The other ones were mostly medical jutsus, probably Kabuto's.

"Oh, it's just you..."

"Well of course! Were you expecting someone else?" May crossed her arms.

"N-no, it's just... nevermind." Autumn started to walk home with May trailing close behind. In May's opinion, there was something wrong with her. But, then again, having to do a month's worth of homework, plus the two months she hadn't left her house, all that together was probably enough to form some kind of mental issue. She'd just have to learn to live with it.

"So what are you going to do over the summer?" May asked, out of the blue.

"What?"

"Well, summer is right around the corner,"

"I'm guessing that to you 'right around the corner', extends to over two months ahead?"

"About two years actually, but yeah!" Autumn sighed, how could this girl be so happy? They soon came to the entrance of the tunnels.

"I was thinking about buying a few new books, and finishing some work that I've never got around to doing..."

"That's it?"

"Pretty much,"

"Well that's lame,"

"I guess..." Now it was May's turn to sigh,

"C'mon Fall, you have to have something good planned!" It was at that exact moment that the answer came and hit Autumn like a rock.

"OUCH!" In fact, it was a rock. A rather small one, but it still hurt.

"Who's there!?" May yelled, turning around. They were far enough in the tunnels that it was dark, and no one had bothered to light the lanterns yet. As May continued to yell, Autumn felt along the ground for the rock that hit her. She found it not too far away from where she had been standing. Reaching out to pick it up, she found that it wasn't just a rock, but there was paper around it.

"May?"

"What!?"

"Shut. Up."

"..." Autumn retrieved the paper, and threw the rock into the darkness. As soon as she heard the satisfying sound of another person in pain, she grabbed May's arm and left.

"What was that all about?" May asked once they were out of the tunnels.

"I don't know, but we'll soon find out. Look at this," Autumn showed her the note.

"Ooh! It's paper! But how is that going to help us?" Autumn sweat-dropped. The only thing that seemed to concern her more than the giant bruise that was sure to form on the back of her head was May's brain. She had meant every word that she had just said, and that scared her.

"... You're my best friend, right?" Autumn asked,

"Best friends!"

"Good, then as your best friend, it's my job to give you advice,"

"And?"

"And, as your best friend, I highly suggest that you get a cat-scan."

"..." The two continued to walk in silence. When they got to the house, Autumn finally showed May the note.

"YAY!" May cheered, that was enough for both of them to keep busy that coming summer!

"Why are you cheering? You never doing anything besides watch,"

"So?" The note was a challenge from Autumn's childhood rival, Joey. She was supposed to gather a team, and they'd go all out this summer. They were going to play any kind of sport that could come out of Joey's demented mind, and if her team won, they had bragging right for the entire year.

"So, there's no point in you going. To beat the basket head, I'll need a team that's actually willing to work." Even though they were friends, May had this problem with not being helpful. It seemed as if for some reason, no matter who she was working with, she would just quit before it even started.

"Meanie..."

"Deal with it, come on." The two walked into the house, and climbed the countless number of stairs until they got to the vacation room. This would be where they would wait and spend the night until Autumn was once again reassured with the break of dawn.

Nothing happened in this chapter but that's okay, it just builds up suspense!

To whomever hasn't gone on vacation yet,

Please review!
