Before

Heaving another sigh, the pink-haired teen jogged upstairs to her bedroom, changed into daisy-dukes and a tank top, then comfortably slid into her bed and fell asleep.

She'd have to look for that water gun Kotetsu got her.

Now

((Bleep-Bleep!))

((Bleep-Bleep!))

((Bleep-Bleep!))

((Bleeeee-EEP-Bleep!))

((Bleeeybuh…Bleybuh))

((Blee..ee..Bl..p))

Slowly, the agitating Beeping died down to soft distressed moans, then to, finally, it all vanished.

Silence.

Sakura Haruno, as excited and enthusiastc she was about seeing her brother in less than 48 hours, was as annoyed as annoyed could get.

Stupid Neighbors!Inner screeched, holding a fist in the air, Cant they keep their stupid louder-than-normal music and irritating howls of laughter to themselves? At 2:00 a.m no less?!

Apparently, no.

The usually vivacious teen groaned as she fell limp on the bed. Sakura licked her lips and tried desperatley to get her eyes to adjust.

Wrinkling her cute nose, she slowly sat upright with her arms behind her to balance herself. Yawning slightly, the tomboy moved her head into a position for her to get a nice view of her latest victim.

Poor thing..

And really, you couldn't blame her. The thing was actually, once upon a time, an alarmclock.

Now it was..

Well, long story short, it had a close relationship with wall(even though plug missed plug-hole-thingy), then it had an On-and-Off affair with the door, then it took a vacation to Oven Mountain at 285 degrees, and lastly, went surfing in The Toilet Bowl at Bathroom Water Park. Where it is at the moment drowning in The Toilet Bowl, consequently closing that ride. Sorry kids, guess you'll have to wait 'till the manager calls the plumber.

Yeah, right.

Last time that happened, she got undressed and damn raped.

…

With his eyes of course. Ahem!

So, she'll just get Kisame into sticking his hand down her toilet and saving the remains of an alarmclock. Anyways, what time was it now? She set it for 8:00 A.M. And that cursed object has been beeping for hours. And-

8:04

Nice. I freaked out on something that made a sound for less than a minute.

Eh?

Took us sometime to torture it.

Ah, yes.. Inner groaned.

"Alrighty then, Kitten. Lets get to work." And with that the now aroused girl got up and clumsily went down the stairs. Opening a light brown wooden cupboard took out a box of salted crackers, got a handful, and stuck them into her mouth. As she attempted to chew the contents, the box was put away and a green apple was being washed.

By the time she swallowed down ¾ the crackers, the apple was being carried towards the nonstopping machine of doom (read: her mouth).

Whilst biting through the fruit, Sakura pulled out her broom and cleaning utensils. 3 more bites later, and the fruit was gone. Strolling over to her fridge, she drank water from the bottle and then proceeded to take out a jar of peanut butter, a spoon and got the cordless phone.

Dialing the correct numbers, a lady's voice was heard on the other end of the line after a couple rings.

"Hello?"

"Miss Pawerson." The spoonful of peanut butter was comfortably put in her mouth.

"Ah, Sakura! Good morning! What can I do for you?"

"Awe ze twins buzzy?" Swallowing, Sakura dipped the spoon back into the jar for it to come back out mounted with the buttery goodness.

"Hm? Oh, Nadeshiko and Ayame? No, they're just playing dolls."

"Would they like an extra handful of wun dollaw biwwlz?" She had taken a bite half way through the sentence.

"Ahaha! I'm sure they'd love that! Whats it this time?"

"Cweaning."

"Alright then. Ill have them come right over. Thank you, Sakura. You're such a sweetheart!"

"I was gonna do it myself, but then I remembered that they said they wanted a new design for their room. So, I was all like, 'What the heck? Why not?'"

You could practically hear the smile on the lady's face, "Ok, Sakura. Bye."

"Bye" Tossing the spoon into the sink and putting the jar back in its place, a smiling Sakura softly sang to 'LoveGame' by Lady Gaga.

((Knock, Knock!))

"SAKURA!SAKURA!SAKURA!SAKU-!"

"Hey, girls." Sakura greeted as she opened the door, simultaneously silencing the 10 year olds who were now smiling like maniacs.

"Mom said you were going to give us-"

"Money!!" Ayame completed.

"And then we'd be able to-"

"Redesign our room!" Ayame, again.

Giggling lightly, Sakura nodded, "Alright, Nadeshiko, Ayame, I have things to do. So can you clean the house? Nothing too much, just simple dusting and brooming. Please vacuum as well."

"Sure!" That one was said by the two redheads at the same time. Brown eyes glimmering as they laughed.

"Okey Dokey, I'm gonna go get dressed. Goodluck!" Sakura then ran upstairs to her room.

10 minutes later, Sakura emerged from her room in black short shorts, an orange and purple striped tank top, Nike tennisshoes and a purple zip up jacket. Her hair was, as usual, down with a white clip putting her bangs in a puff. Teeth clean and face washed, Sakura descended the stairs, got her wallet, cellphone and sunglasses, stuffed them all into her back pockets, and left after bidding the girls goodbye.

AT THE GROCERY STORE

"Mornin' Sakura, that's a lot of food. Who're you expectin'?"

"Kisame's coming back. Him and a group of friends." Sakura smiled sweetly towards the salesman, an old man with gray hair and wrinkles.

"Oh? My, my. You two caused too much trouble for comfort before he left." The man put away her things as they conversed, "When're they getting here?"

"Tomorrow."

He nodded gently, "You participatin' in the SlingShot Tsunami today?"

"Mhmm, I always do." She gathered her belongings from the man.

"Well, then goodluck with that. And tell Kisame I say Hi, eh?"

"Thanks, and you can count on that Mr. Sarutobi!"

Sarutobi watched as she ran off. He put the money in the cash register before sighing.

Such a sweet girl, he thought. Lets just hope we can take the commotion when the two meet up again.

Sarutobi snickered as he remembered all the events and highlights that those two made in this place.

With Sakura Haruno

As Sakura, arms with 2 brown paper bags filled to the brim with groceries, jogged to the Mini-Market her but began to vibrate.

Again.

And she swore that she wasn't farting.

Again.

Your phone, stupid.

Again!

2-3 seconds later all that registered into her head and realization fell on her like a ton of bricks. Juggling with the groceries, she succeeded in pulling out her neon purple Sidekick LX and answering.

Yay! Kate Possible!

Inner rolled her eyes, Kim Possible. Kim. You've been getting that wrong since 3rd Grade, dammit!

Ignoring Inner, the teen who was now standing in the middle of the sidewalk, with a bag of groceries in her left hand, a phone between her right shoulder and cheek, and a banana in her right hand trying to get everything back into their rightful spot: The other bag.

"H-hello?"

"Hey, blossoms!"

" 'Sup, Kiba?"

"Nothing really. Whatcha doin'?"

"Tr-trying to..Ngh! Trying to put the groceries back into the bag with-without..dropping the OTHE-ACK!"

"You ok there, princess?"

"Shit.. Yeah, I'm good. Thank Kami I didn't bruise anything. Hang on a minute, DogBoy. Ill get right back to ya."

"Alright."

Sakura put down the phone(gently, may I say. She used her own money on that, darn it!) and put everything away quickly, put them on a nearby bench, and scurried like a frightened rat to pull her phone to safety.

"Ok, I'm back. What do ya need?"

"Mm? Oh! I wanted to ask you, is Ino ok? She's been acting weird."

"Wei..rd? Like how?"

"Weird as in, she forgot to straighten her bang correctly, weird. As in she tripped in heels, weird. Like-like—Like she's gone a bit.. Like she's got a screw loose."

Sakura blinked a few times.

Ohh..Inoo..

Licking her lips, she asked the question of truth, "Kiba, are you single?"

"No. I got back with Hinata 3 hours after the break-up. It was a misunderstanding."

"Umm, I know Ino wouldn't like this. But I'm one of her best friends, so its ok. Kiba, Ino's been crushing on you for about 7 months now. She was so thrilled when you and Hina broke up, as mean as it sounds. But she seriously has a thing for you. Maybe you two getting back together was the trigger to what's happening?"

He cleared his throat over the line, "R-really?"

"Yes, really. I'm sorry, you and Hinata make a cute couple, I would hate for you to feel this way, but you asked. Look, ill talk to Ino, we'll sort this out. I'll just be ready with tissues and chocolate. O-"

"No! No- I-I I mean.. I.." He sighed, "Me and Hinata were nothing. She just wanted someone to be with so that she could prove to Neji that she was independent. All it was was a couple more 'get-togethers' without Shino and Lovey-Dovey talk in public. We're like best friends, I could never touch Hinata. The thing is.. I have a thing for Ino, too. Hinata knows about it. We 'Broke-Up' because I was caught flirting with some tourists. Tenten caught me and told Neji, so I had to end the relationship. Anyways, Hinata's into Naruto."

"So, you're not back together?"

"No, we're just normal friends. But we wanna stay 'together' for a couple more weeks, then BOOM, we'll end it all and be normal friends."

"Whoa.."

"But now I know everything. Thanks Kura! Ill talk to Ino and Hinata! Bye!"

"..Bye.." But he was long gone.

Some Monologue! Inner complained.

Tell me about it!
