Thankies to my reviewer, T.J., who is actually my friend Tiffany. I need at least one review per chapter or I won't post. This time put 'Sasuke likes strudel' in the reviews. Peoples, ALL OF YOU READING THIS FREAKIN' CHAPTER CAN REVIEW!!!! My minions do the disclaimer!

Hamsters: Shalla! She doesn't own it! Shalla!

I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to Cody, you know about my obsession with Gaara!

I may have made myself into a 14 year old Naruto character; in real life I'm not that perfect.

'Thinking'

"Talking"

"GAI-SENSEI"

Last one for laughs…

"Hey Sasuke." Sakura said, turning over to look at Sasuke.

"Hn." Sasuke replied, turning his head to look at Sakura.

"Sasuke, do you think I'm pretty?" Sakura said a mischievous gleam in her eye.

"Why?" Sasuke asked, suspicious.

"Just answer the question." Sakura said.

"Hn. Then yes." Sasuke said turning his attention back to the stars.

Sakura 'Squee!'ed really quietly. She walked her fingers up his chest and rested her hand on the side of his face.

"Then you won't mind if I do this?" She said whispering slowly as she pulled him closer to her.

Now Sasuke not being a COMPLETE AND TOTAL IDIOT had realized what she was doing by now and had scoped Sakura up and pinned her against a tree.

"No. But you won't mind if I do this then." He said fingering her hair before closing the gap between the two of them. Sakura pushed on Sasuke, causing him to fall back onto the grass with a soft 'thud'. Almost too soft for anyone to hear. Almost.

As the four love birds (can't forget Naruto and Hinata) continued with their hot make out sessions, Shikamaru look on in sheer disbelief. He knew something was up. But he pushed all thoughts of this to the back of his mind (for some reason –snicker-).

"Shika?" Temari said putting on a voice that made him suspect she was pouting.

'Since when does she call me Shika?' Shikamaru thought. His thoughts were interrupted when Temari spoke.

"I said 'Shika?'" All traces of her cute pouting voice gone.

"Troublesome woman, what do you want?" He replied, turning his head to see that Temari was on her side facing him playing with a blade of grass. She pouted.

"Shika, do you think I'm pretty?" She said slowly, choosing her words carefully. Shikamaru sighed.

"So Troublesome, yes." He said quickly giving in. Temari smiled, and inched her way next to him.

"Then, will you mind if I do something?" She said, very close to him. He thanked Kami that the moon light hid his blush.

"Troub-" He said, not even getting to finish his favorite phrase. He took in her sandy scent, as she took in his somehow midnight air smelling one. They broke away, if only for a moment, so that Temari could un-strap her fan. They soon joined the four love birds, creating six, that were so deeply into making out that they didn't notice their surroundings. In fact, Naruto and Hinata had bumped up against an almost boulder like rock, and Sakura and Sasuke had rolled a good twelve feet from where they had started.

Gaara and Liz were sitting, quietly leaned up against two trees that were close together. Liz had her eyes focused on the stars, desperately trying not to think about the handsome sand Nin beside her, while Gaara had his fixated on the kunochi beside him.

He took in her almost blond hair, done up in intricate loops and knots, her blue eyes which held a tinge of green rimed in black, her flawless, slightly tanned skin, her lovely 14 year old figure on which she wore a loose, long sleeved (and slightly revealing) baby blue shirt and a knee length black skirt, the seams ripped at the sides for flexibility.

He treasured these moments with her, as did the other boys with their respective crushes. He wished he lived in Konoha, and then he could be with her. He returned his gaze to the sky. He was glad that no one knew the inner workings of this mind.

"Gaara, do you think I'm pretty?" She said, never looking away form the sky. On the inside Gaara blushed at this comment, on the outside he stayed the same. A cold hearted person, with an unreadable face.

"No." He replied. Liz kept a straight face, and said with an unwavering voice

"O.K. If you will excuse me, there is something I have to do." She got up, and quickly walked deeper into the forest.

He got up and followed her. She took her own path, winding this way and that, until she came to rest at a beautiful waterfall. She sunk to her knees and let her tears roll freely. Gaara watched in shocked amazement, ashamed that he caused her to do this.

"Liz." He said walking out of the cover of trees. She turned around, horrified that he had seen her cry. She never let people see her cry.

"Go away!" She screamed, turning to run deeper into the forest. 'If I run fast enough I can loose him. I know this forest like the back of my hand' She thought, calculating a rout back to her apartment in which she could loose him.

"Liz, I meant what I said." He looked sad, almost an inhuman emotion on this face.

"Oh, are you trying to make me feel better? Gee, thanks." She spat.

"I meant what I said, I don't think your pretty." He said, walking towards her. She stood her ground, ready for a fight if it came to that. Gaara was standing close in front of her now.

"I don't think your pretty," He said, wrapping one arm around her back, while cupping her face with the other. "I think your beautiful." He said, closing the gap between them. She wrapped her arms around his neck, as he picked her up and carried her back to the clearing.

They joined the ranks of the love birds soon there after.

Now, I bet your wondering where in the fish stick Neji and Tenten are, and what the fuzzy skittles happened to the humor. Read on young grasshopper, read on.

With Neji and Tenten

They were standing on the other side of the waterfall that Gaara and Liz were at, 'cause the dang author is to much of a lazy bum today to think up a different location, plus it ties into the plot.

Well, only one of them was truly standing, the other was kind of, no was being dragged to the spot.

"Neji, can you speak to me?" Tenten asked worried. If her letting her hair down could take down Neji, that was too scary to think about. She noted that Neji was drooling.

"Oh beaver dam it!" Tenten said, FINALLY realizing that Neji had his Byakugan activated.

"Neji!" She said pouting "Why did you pretend to be like that? WHY THE FUZZY SKITTLES IS YOU'RE BYAKUGAN STILL ACTIVATED!!!!" She said, steam rising from her head, and smoke coming outa her ears.

Neji smiled. A true, genuine smile. He dis-activated his Byakugan.

"Why? Maybe this will answer your question." He said, standing up and bringing Tenten into a deep kiss. They heard a shout, and turned around.

"Go away!" They heard Liz scream.

The two watched the whole episode between the Liz and Gaara eating popcorn with shovels. Like a good audience, they 'ohh'ed and 'aww!'ed in all of the right places. When Liz and Gaara left, Tenten and Neji were close behind.

When they returned to the clearing they joined the ranks of the love birds, noting that Ino, Shino, Lee, and Kiba had left. After 5 minutes without coming up for air, the couples broke apart.

Blushing heavily, the girls and boys went to the Uchia Complex where they decided to spend the night.
