Nowadays

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters at all the plot is mine though.

Sasuke: Finally you're updating the prequel to Lonely in Gorgeous, huh?

Sera: Yeah finally…but…why are you so pleasant? You haven't insulted me once yet.

Sasuke: There's still time-oh there is plenty of time.

Sera: Yeah yeah whatever…I assume you're being nice because I actually updated Father of the Bride: Rise of Grandpa Twitchy?

Sasuke: Yeah…you left me in a good spot there…

Sera: Yeah whatever…

Sasuke: On with the fic!

Sera:…weirdo…

While perusing through the menu in his hands Sasuke Uchiha's eyes slightly twitched as his cousin continued on and on about her entrance exams and how her mother wasn't so disappointed about Jonan.

Sasuke was less then thrilled when Miaka decided that he and Itachi should go on a road trip with her to Gongaga where their even more deranged and older cousin Zack lived…Sasuke was not found of this because of what had happened the summer before.

Sasuke didn't like talking about the incident; he was only too relieved when his eyebrows finally grew back.

"No, no and no. I will not spend a four hour car ride with Itachi and yourself, especially if the destination is to see someone even more annoying then you."

Miaka pouted.

"Aw Sasuke you are no fun! I just don't understand why you don't like Zack anyway, he's the best."

"I assume that people with high levels of retardation such as you would find someone of less intelligence appealing."

"Are you calling me stupid?"

"…yes…I am."

Miaka pouted again-however the glimmer in her eyes showed anything other then discontent. Sasuke was a little uneasy.

"Aw Sasu-chan, are you jealous because I get along with Zacky-Wacky?"

"…you're my cousin…being jealous would mean I like you…and I don't really like you because I want to it's because you're family."

"Aw you are jealous!"

"No I'm not. Annoyed? Angered? Bewildered? Yes." He took a sip of water and waved the waitress over. "Jealous? Not so much…uh what are you having?" He said motioning to his cousin; the waitress was too busy staring at him to bothering asking what Miaka wanted.

Miaka looked over her menu again and shrugged.

"Uh a strawberry cake, some beef ramen, uh…that uh pizza sandwich thingy and an ice tea."

Sasuke turned to the waitress and said his cousins order, the waitress writing it down quickly.

"And I'll have the cream of wild rice soup and some coffee…plenty of cream and sugar."

The waitress nodded her head.

"Alrighty I'll be back with your orders."

Sasuke sighed heavily.

"I hate this place."

"Why?"

"It's across town from home and service here is terrible…you saw that waitress. She ignored you and practically undressed me and raped me with her mind."

Miaka sighed.

"It's cause you're so good looking. Zack gets it all the time to."

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"But he's such an idiot he doesn't ever notice. I swear last time I was in Gongaga the female population was writhing in heat just by merely glancing in his direction."

"Zack doesn't notice those things…he's much too innocent."

"Innocent my left ass cheek…he's an evil genius and you know it."

"Evil yes…genius? Are you kidding me? You said so yourself he's an idiot."

"That is true. So how's Keisuke?"

"Oh big brothers fine…he's enjoying the college life and he's got tons of girlfriends…it's crappy though since he lives so far away…"

"Kalm is pretty far off but the university there is probably worth the move in the end anyway…he'll make a good professor some day."

"Yeah yeah I know that…anyway, I wanted to ask you about that pink haired girl…you know the one who always follows you and practically exudes pheromones in your general direction."

"Sakura Haruno, what about her?"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Sasuke made a face, incredulous was written on it forehead, figuratively of course and Miaka had to laugh. "Sorry! I didn't know that the general thought of Sakura Haruno made you look like that."

The waitress arrived before Sasuke could say anything. When their food was placed in front of them Sasuke thanked the waitress without looking at her. She seemed peeved enough when she turned her heel and walked off.

He thought he heard her mutter something about high school brats being rude.

"So why isn't she your girlfriend?"

"Why is it an issue?"

Miaka took a bite of her sandwich, the melted cheese scorched her tongue but ever the experience eater like herself, handled it without showing any discomfort and swallowed the giant piece whole before taking another bite.

Sometimes it amazed him how she could take such big bites and eat so much without getting fat.

"Well, you're really good looking and you've never had a girlfriend. It's just weird that someone who looks like you could be so inexperienced and not taken."

Sasuke shrugged taking a sip of his coffee.

"Who says I'm inexperienced? I don't need a girlfriend to get that kind of gratification Miaka."

"TMI Sasuke…TMI…"

"Sorry."

"Anyway-aren't you interested in anyone?" Miaka asked moving onto her ramen after just finishing her large sandwich…Sasuke hadn't even started his soup. "Isn't there any girl out there you like?"

"Well…" Sasuke began. "When I was a kid in elementary there was this girl with midnight colored hair and the most excellent shade of moonstone eyes. I liked her, does that count?"

Miaka rolled her eyes.

"Elementary school was when you had your first and last crush? That's retarded."

"It isn't."

"Yes it is."

He shrugged.

"Anyway, I still see her around but I can't, for the life of me remember her name."

"Then why don't you ask her?"

"Are you crazy? What am I supossed to say: Here there I know that you don't know me but we used to have a class in Edge Elementary school and I was wondering if I could know my first crushes name?"

"That might work."

"You're an idiot."

"So I've been told."

"Anyway:- Sasuke continued. "She's always hanging out with this guy named Sai."

"Sai Inoue? Ugh I hate that guy!"

"Why?"

"Well he's always got this creepy smile on his stupid face and he's always talking down to Seto and always asking Shuro is she's a guy when clearly she isn't."

"I wouldn't say it's clearly."

"Shut up! Anyway, he's always asking guys about their dicks and always saying how Naruto's is nonexistent."

"Oh…so he's gay?"

"How in the hell would I know."

"Well you just said that he's always asking about dicks…so I assumed…"

Miaka gulped down the broth from her now finished bowl of ramen (Sasuke stared in disbelief because the bowl was full two seconds ago) and sighed contentedly. "Good ramen." She wiped her mouth. "I dunno if he's gay or not but he's a dick head. He's always drawing in his little sketch book-how is it that he actually has friends?"

"I don't know the guy so why are you asking me…weren't we talking about the girl he's always with?"

"Oh yeah."

"Well it's not important now anyway-I'm not gonna try anything I don't even like her…besides that even if I did like her Itachi would find something wrong with her anyway."

"That is true."

If only they knew that in the next year Sasuke and Itachi would (comically) fight for the unknown girls affections…(Read the sequel(?) to this to find out who she is…though it's pretty obvious but all the same I'm promoting my other fic Lonely in Gorgeous to those whom haven't read it.)

Sasuke finished his soup and stared off.

"So Gongaga huh? Why do you want to see Zack anyway?"

Miaka giggled a bit uneasily.

"Well I wanted to get you open for the idea of seeing him around since well…uh…I kinda invited him over at my house which mean…"

Sasuke stared blankly at her for a moment before his eyes darkened.

"…which means he'll be over my house all the time…which means that-" But before Sasuke could continue the door to the small café burst open almost hitting a waiter with blue hair whom had been staring at Miaka-whom thought she looked vaguly familiar(a cookie for whoever figures that one out-

"Susie! Miki! How ya doin?" Came a loud shout. To Sasuke's utter horror Zack Fair, his 19 year old cousin stalked over to their table and hugged the ever living out of him. A goofy smile adorning his handsome face while his grayish eyes twinled with a childlike glimmer of the trickster he was,

"Zack what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked slowly. Zack smiled broader if possible.

"Well I Spikey and Vinnie have never been to Konoha and since I'm on vacation from university I decided to come a week early. Isn't that great?"

"No."

Miaka giggled uncomfortably while the two men behind Zack, a boy with a shock of blond hair and the other man with long black hair stood back uncomfortably.

Oh Sasuke was in hell now.

Sera: You've gotte be wondering why Zack Fair, Cloud and Vincent are doing in a Naruto fan fic but really…if you read the first fic, Lonely in Gorgeous (again with the fic promotion…) you'd know that there are slight crossovers. Although these FFVII characters will probably be vital to this story-in which Sasuke will be humiliated beyone recognition…that's actually why they're here.

Why is Zack, Sasuke's cousin? Because I like ditzy-ish characters associated with Sasuke and well while I don't personally know if Zack is a ditzy, hyperactive, funny guy-I haven't gotten my copy of Crisis Core- I took a leap and made him Miaka's male counterpart.

Will other FFVII people make an appearance? Maybe…if I get enough reviews and if I get requests from certain characters. Kingdom Hearts characters are also open for debate.

Will Toya make a return in this story to better explaine his relationship with Neji for a better understanding from the first fic? Yes. I like Toya's character and want him to be redeemed in this story for being such a bastard in the previous one. He isn't all bad-so I hope you don't hate him here.

Sasuke: Oh I hate you…so very much.

Zack: WOW! I'm here in the End dialogue? That means I'm a favorite?

Sera: Yes Zack. hands him a cookie

Zack: T.T nibbles cookies and cries tears of loving adoration Mmmmm Chocolaty…

Sasuke:…why…why must I be surrounded by morons?

Sera: Review!! NO FLAMES!!
