Naruto was thrilled. Sakura had finally agreed to go on a date with him. And it only took like what, 6 years?

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked the girl standing next to him as he stared out at the starlit sky.

"Yes, Naruto?" She responded while she watched the water roll over the rocks in the stream under the bridge.

"Why did you agree to this?," He questioned, still looking at the sky.

"Agree to what?" She turned her head to look at him to find he wasn't looking at her.

"To this, the date?" Now he turned his head to look in her eyes with a lazy expression.

"Why not?"

"I need a better reason, Sakura-chan." He told looking a bit more serious.

"I just realized I needed a change..." She smiled, he smiled back.

Then Naruto went back the looking to the sky.

"Yep, a change for the better." Sakura said under her breath. She scooted closer to Naruto and rested her head on his shoulder.
