Okay people! Sorry for the REALLY long wait! But, the chapter is here! And I like pie! (Please don't even ask!)

Disclaimer: My birthday is on the 31st. On my wish list, I have Naruto. My friend's threw me a surprise party and got me a present. It was a Naruto plushie! That is the closest I will ever get to owning Naruto.

Hehe! That's a true story!

Story Time!

"Hey Sasuke! There you are!" Ino shouted, making Sakura stir in her sleep. Shikamaru covered her mouth quickly. Ino bit him, giggling as he pulled his hand away in pain.

"Yeah, it's been like, twenty minutes dude," Neji said.

"Hn." Sasuke walked over to Sakura's bedside and sat down, inches from her tiny stomach, or at least what was left of it.

"So, are we still going to the festival tonight?" Renton asked. Everyone nodded in an affirmative way. Sasuke grunted in response.

'Wait! That can be when I find out what's wrong with Sakura!' Sasuke thought, patting himself on the back mentally for being such a genius.

"Hey, we can eat dinner there too!" Sasuke said, almost too excitedly. The group looked at him with weird expressions.

"Okay then…yeah…dinner at the festival…right…" Naruto said uncertainly. Sakura stirred slightly. Sasuke looked over at her, as well as everyone else. She opened her eyes, blinked a few times to focus better, and then looked at everyone.

"What did I do?" she asked questioningly. Everyone shrugged.

"You were really hyper when you were at the mall," Neji said.

"Oh…you mean the Vault?"

"Yeah, that's what did it," Hinata said. Tenten nodded in agreement.

"Well, when McDonalds gives you free refills, you can't ignore it!" Sakura laughed at her answer, and the girls also laughed. The guys stared at their girlfriends, wondering why they even asked them out in the first place. Then they realized that they loved them.

"So, what do we have planned for tonight?" Sakura asked.

"Goin' to the festival!" Naruto replied with a huge grin. Sakura nodded.

"When should we leave?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well, it starts around seven, and if we're eating dinner there, we should be there around six," Emilee stated.

"You always know everything," Renton told her. She kissed him in response. Naruto told them to go get a room. Emilee stuck her tongue out at him.

"Wait! We're eating at the festival?" Sakura asked, as her head shot off of the pillow.

"Umm…yeah," Tenten said. Sasuke looked at Sakura, waiting for a reaction.

"Is that a problem?" Sasuke asked her. He was gonna get somewhat of an answer.

"Well…umm…it's just that…I've gotten food poisoning before from carnival food! That's it!" Sakura said. It was the last thing she could think of.

"We're going to a festival, not a carnival," Sasuke replied, almost mockingly. 'I think she's about to crack!'

"Oh, well then, I guess we'll be okay then…" Sakura said sadly.

'You know that food like that is greasy, calorie filled, and fattening, right?' Sakura's inner screamed. SHE wasn't getting fat now.

'I know…can't we just do what we've been doing?'

'Well yeah, but I think Sasuke is catching on to our little secret.'

'I did notice that…aww man! If he finds out that we're bulimic, he'll tell everyone and they'll put us in a hospital!'

'And they'll take away our modeling career! That's the only thing we ever wanted, outer me!'

'I know. But we can't keep living like this. I can't take it anymore!'

'Outer Sakura, we can do it for just a little longer! I promise, from the bottom of my inner heart, NOBODY will find out.'

'Okay. You better be right.'

'When has the inner ever been wrong?'

'What about the time when-'

'Okay, almost all of the time the inner has always prevailed!'

"Sakura? Are you alright?" Ino and Hinata asked together worriedly, snapping Sakura back into reality.

"Oh, yeah, my head just hurts. Is it okay if I get some more sleep?" Sakura asked wearily. Hinata felt Sakura's forehead.

"You are a little warm. Let me go get the thermometer I brought." Hinata ran over to her bathroom and got her miniature medical kit.

"Just stick this under your tongue, Sakura." Sakura obeyed, and Hinata put the rod in her mouth.

"Let's leave the girls alone guys. We don't wanna make Sakura feel any worse," Sasuke said, getting up from the bed. The guys followed suite and left to Neji's room.

"Are you sure you're okay Sakura?" Ino asked when the boys left.

"Yeah, it's probably nothing." Hinata took the thermometer from Sakura.

"100.7," Hinata said, sighing.

"You can't go to the festival now!" Tenten whined.

"I don't care how bad I feel! I'm going anyway!" Sakura said triumphantly. She winced from the pain she received from her head.

"If you say so, Sakura. Come on guys, we should let her sleep," Ino said. They nodded and left Sakura in the room alone.

-With Everyone Else But Sakura-

"I hope this is just a small little illness that will just blow past her in like, three hours," Naruto said. Everyone said some answer in reply.

"She's been looking paler than usual too," Shikamaru said, looking at his feet while he sat on the ground with Ino between his legs. Sasuke's eyes widened, and kept what he believed was wrong with her to himself.

"Yeah. Do you think she's really sick?" Neji asked everyone. He was lying on a bed, with Tenten lying beside him.

"Gosh, I sure hope not…" Hinata leaned into Naruto a little further, as they were positioned like Neji and Tenten.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the flu or something," Tenten shrugged at Ino's comment.

"In the middle of spring? In Suna?" Shikamaru questioned.

"It's possible…" Sasuke said for the first time during the conversation.

"He's right," Neji said. Everyone sighed.

'I know what's wrong with her. All of the symptoms match up with what Sakura's been like…' Sasuke thought.

'We have to say something.'

'Not yet, not now.'

'When?'

'When the signs are obvious to everyone.'

'Whatever dude, you're the one that can speak aloud and not through thoughts only.'

Sasuke stared at the ground under him. He was leaning against the wall. He was trying to think of a plan, but nothing seemed good enough for exposing Sakura's secret, if she had one.

'I need a plan. But I need to tell them to get a good one…' Sasuke looked at all of his friends.

'But what if I'm not right? Everyone will hate me for worrying them. But if I am right, Sakura will hate me for telling…gosh what do I do?!'

Hmm…will Sasuke tell? Or not? I don't even know! I need ideas for the next chapter, because the plan will be told then. Any suggestions??"

Until Next Time!
