Thank-you for reading. Review.

Chi woke to a good start. The scent of Old Spice cloaked her senses. Blearily opening her eyes she saw clouds and rainbow unicorns. She nuzzled her nose into this wonderful dream. A slight groan emitted from the pillowy thing she was currently sprawled on. She recognized this surface: soft and still hard covered with a supple cloth. Yes, yet again she was lying on top of Gaara. Her mind was enveloped in that foggy after-sleep and she did not immediately remember him.

The seventeen year old stretched, arching her back and flexing her arms above her head. Oh look, that unicorn was doing the tango…

*Gaara aka Panda Chan*

Gaara's aquamarine orbs slowly came into view. A warm weight was on his chest, a pleasant pressure. He yawned. Sleep was one of his greatest pleasures since Shukaku had gone. He wrapped his arms tighter around the mound on his chest. Looking down, He saw something strange. Hm, it seemed Chi was making a home on top of him. WAIT! CHI! On TOP of him!

He started, jostling her from her half-sleep stupor.

"What?" She asked yawning, one eye open.

He felt himself smile a bit; she just looked cute like that. He forcefully turned the corners of his mouth down.

"Get off me."

She grinned.

"Why?"

He sighed and gently picked her up.

"Where are we going? On an adventure?"

Suddenly she plummeted toward the couch he was now holding her over. Chi landed with a soft plop, a pout gracing her face.

"Meany-butt."

"What did you call me?"

"A Meany-butt. You butt-muncher."

"Um…Ok." He said quietly.

Suddenly she flung her arms about his neck and hugged him, so that all feeling in his arms was lost.

He began to choke.

"I'm sorry! Don't be mad!"

"I'm not mad…I just don't smile."

"Oh. Okay."

Two two sat in awkward silence for what seemed like an eternity.

"So…are we friends?"

"NO!" he yelled, a look of horror etched on his face.

"We're friends."

"No we're not."

"Yes we are."

"No we're not."

"Yes we are."

"Fine. We're friends."

She grinned happily at this and a miniscule grin broke out on his own face.

As he headed out the door, he heard her yell,

"Bye Panda-Chan!"

And somehow the day felt better.

Review! And read my other stories!
