A/N: Decided to upload another one just because I could. But be warned, not all updates will be as quick as this.

SUMMARY: There is no competition between a fan and a stop sign, at least, that's what Temari says.

DISCLAIMER: Didn't own the characters in the last chapter, and still don't own them now.


Title: What a Drag...

Word Count: 150

Characters: Nara Shikamaru and Sabaku no Temari

"Shikamaru..." Temari pondered. "You should be an Uchiha. They're so much cooler."

Shikamaru gasped.

"Fans are way better than stop signs." She explained.

Shikamaru stared at her. "Firstly, my clan's symbol is not a stop sign. Secondly, I don't see how it possibly affects you."

"It will clearly affect me since it's the dumb clan symbol I'll be stuck wearing forever more."

"What are you—" He stopped to put his hand to her forehead and check if she had a fever. Upon finding none; "You've gone crazy." He concluded.

"Nara. If I'm going to— no I rephrase that, since I'm going to marry you, you should at least care that I'm required to wear a stop sign til I die."

"Who said anything about marriage?" He questioned dubiously.

"I did." Temari stated with an air of superiority. Shikamaru had the impression she'd just ended all discussion on the matter.


A/N: Open to suggestions, prompts, requests etc. I promise I'll do almost anything (especially if it gets reviews). But to clear up now, no yaoi, yuri or lemons (or any synonyms). So don't bother asking for that.

Please, please, please review.

God Bless
