Anyways, enjoy as always! And thank you so much for your reviews! They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside -

Sakura yawned, stretching her arms above her head. Her bed was unusually warm and comfortable, and somehow all the pictures and furniture had rearranged themselves during the night.

She blinked.

And realized that the warmth was emitting from Naruto, and this was his room.

And realized that the room was Naruto's.

"AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed, bringing in 6 Anbu and waking Naruto up.

"Wuzwrong?" Naruto asked groggily.

"YOU HAVE A SUPERMAN PATTERNED BLANKET!" Sakura screamed. Everyone sweatdropped as the Anbu left to more...important matters.

Naruto looked at Sakura in askance, unable to believe that she would get so worked up over a blanket. He was right.

"Naruto?" Sakura whispered. "We didn't...DO anything did we?!" Naruto's eyes widened. So THAT was what she was so freaked out about.

"Don't worry! Of course not...and if we did I hope we used protection..."

"WHAT?!"

"Just kidding!" Naruto flashed his grin at her.

"BAKA" Naruto was sent across the room.

Later that day, Sakura and Naruto were walking down the streets simply enjoying the day instead of training maniacally. Sakura was shy because after 8 years of constant training, she didn't know how to act normally.

"FOREHEAD!" Ino and Choji were waving frantically in their direction. Sakura and Naruto ran over to catch up with them.

"Whoa, Sakura, slow down! This isn't training, it's relaxation! You can show off your superspeed sometime else," Ino joked. An awkward silence fell between them, afterall, what do you say to people who you've barely seen in the past few years? That didn't stop Ino for long, because she led Sakura off headed in the direction of the mall chatting nonstop about how cool it was that she was back and how happy she was and how they were going to spend all their money shopping and...

Choji looked after her fondly. He and Naruto walked along at a leisurely pace behind them, chatting and filling in years of conversation.

"So, Choji, you and Ino, eh?"

"Yeah...I'm proposing to her tonight. Do you think that she'll accept?" Choji looked at Naruto so hopefully that Naruto didn't have the heart to say anything but yes. Choji's eyes shone as he described the romantic dinner he had planned for them and the elaborate way he was going to go about proposing to her, and Naruto listened, but also wondered about him and Sakura. Sure, they had only just gotten together...but...he loved her for 8 years, and maybe she had too. So it wouldn't be too sudden, would it?

His question was answered when Sakura came back asking for his wallet. They were acting like a married couple already. Grabbing his extra credit card quickly, he handed it to Sakura, who happily ran away with Ino to spend all their money. Naruto dragged Choji into Jarred to look for the perfect ring and spotted it right away.

"That's the one for her." He told him. Choji looked at the price and whistled.

"You can afford that?" he asked him. Naruto scratched his head.

"For her, I can afford anything."

Ten hours later, they all collapsed at Naruto's house. Sakura was very happy, happier then she had been in a very long time. She and Ino were loaded down with hundreds of shopping bags. Choji and Ino said goodbye soon after, because Choji's plan was going to be ruined if they didn't go back to his house right away.

Sakura sighed, but it was a happy sigh, filled with joy and contentment.

"I'm gonna go try these on, ok?" Naruto privately thought that it would take her the better part of the week to try on all the clothes, but he nodded anyway. Sakura beamed and skipped into the bathroom to change. He slipped into the kitchen to prepare the romantic dinner, the candles, the fine crystal dishes all on the back porch so she wouldn't see it and hurried back as she came out in her first outfit.

It was a bathing suit, of all things.

It was pink fading into orange fading into yellow to white to a light blue, just like the colors of the sunset. Two-piece, it showed off her nice figure and curves all in the right places. Naruto was having trouble controlling his hormones.

"Do you like it? I mean...if its too much...I'll go change..."

"NO! I mean...it looks wonderful on you!" Sakura smiled softly and leaned in for a peck on his lips.

"Thanks, I'll just try one more." She turned and went back into the bathroom.

Naruto went upstairs where a suit was laid out and dressed formally. Giving his tie a final yank, he took a look at himself in the mirror. He looked fabulous, if he would say so himself. Going back downstairs, he saw Sakura stepping carefully out of the bathroom. She was dressed in a small black halter dress where the hem was cut diagonally across with a slight ruffle at the bottom. Naruto tried to catch his breath at the beautiful vision before him.

"You look...beautiful," he said reverently. Sakura blushed a pretty pink and said,

"Thanks...you don't look too bad yourself!" Naruto looked down at himself and scratched his head, and held his arm out to her.

"Shall we?" Sakura giggled and accepted his arm, while he led her out to the back porch where a romantic scene greeted her.

"Oh my gosh..." she said, hugging Naruto tightly. The stars and the moon were bright in the sky, shining down on the two lovers while the candles moved ever so slightly with the warm wind and romantic music played in the background. It was just like the movies, and as Sakura sat down she had tears in her eyes.

"It's not ramen!" she exclaimed, selecting her food daintily. Naruto just watched her with dreamy eyes and loved her so much.

"Naruto? Naruto...are you there?" Sakura waved her hand in front of his face. He jumped.

"Yeah, sorry." He shook his head, and when they finished, Naruto sat down at the base of the sakura tree with Sakura between his legs. Sakura sighed happily as she leaned back against him enjoying his presence. Naruto didn't want to move from his comfortable position (or so he told himself) and refrained from proposing right away. What if she doesn't say yes? What if she gets freaked out by me proposing so soon? What if..." he mentally slapped himself. He would be brave and make the first move. Standing up, he knelt in front of Sakura holding open the ring box. The ring sparkled, not the usual diamond, but a shade of emerald combined with a shade of cerulean combined with two hearts.

"Sakura-chan...will you marry me?"

And that's all folks! Vote to see if she says yes!!! or no ((((
