5 months later...

"Get up, dork!" Sakura kicked the bed. "I said, get up!"

Sasuke jumped out of bed with a soft squeak. "What the heck?!" He saw Sakura and glared at her. "What are you doing in my room? I thought my mom and dad already gave you one of your own!" He sat on the matress and yawned. "Now, go away."

"Don't tell me what to do!" Sakura snapped and threw a pillow at him. "I'm a Princess for crying out loud!"

"You sure don't act like one!" Sasuke huffed and laid back down, pulling his blankets over his head. "You act like a bossy person. No wait- YOU ARE."

"Well, I'm going to be your wife someday, aren't I?"

"Don't remind me!" Sasuke grunted and sat up, shaking his head.

"Ahh," Fugaku remarked as he stepped into the bedroom, "Talking about your marriage already, you two? My, my. You MUST be in love." He smiled.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other, confused. "YUCK!" they spat and looked away, scowling.

"Come now," Fugaku laughed and headed for the stairs, Both of you get out of your sleepware and go to the dining room for breakfast. Most important meal of the day!"

"Yes, father." Sasuke turned to Sakura.

"What?" Sakura asked, troubled by his stare.

"Well, unless you want to see me NUDE, I suggest you get out of my room and back into yours."

"I don't wanna go back to my room yet!"

"So be it." Sasuke took off his shirt and started for his boxers.

"That's enough!" Sakura squeaked and dashed out of the door. "I don't want my eyes to be scarred at such a young age! It's too horrible!"

Sasuke smirked. "I knew that'd work."

After breakfast, the duo went out to the field behind the castle. The dandelions were in full bloom and its seeds were dispersing in the breeze. Sakura went over to the patch of cosmos and picked one out. She smiled and turned to Sasuke, holding the flower next to her brightly-colored hair. "Well?" she asked.

"Well what?" Sasuke asked back dully.

"Am I as beautiful as the cosmos flower?" Sakura giggled. "It's okay to tell the whole truth." I'm MUCH more beautiful than the cosmos!

"Compared to the flower?" Sasuke held his chin in false deep thought. "You look like an overweight hippo who just rolled off the mud."

Sakura glared at him. "Jerk."

They took a seat on the grass, a yard away from each other. "Hey, you guys!" a familiar voice called.

"Naruto?" Sasuke acknowledged, turning to the approaching blonde. When he saw a wooden sword in his hand, he jumped to his feet and asked, "Naruto, what's that you got there?"

"Check it out!" Naruto showed the sword proudly. "It's the latest model! Has red stripes on it! And it kicks butt, too!"

"Oooh!" Sakura smiled, joining the boys. "Can I see?"

"No way!" Naruto replied, hiding the toy.

"You're a GIRL, Sakura," Sasuke pointed out with glee, "You're not supposed to be interested in this stuff!"

"But what if I am?" Sakura picked up a random dandelion and held it close to her heart lovingly. "If I could have one wish... Just one!" She smiled. "It would be to find my true love someday. And have him be in my heart for longer than an eternity." She sighed, loving her daydream.

Silence.

"I'd feel sorry for whoever that guy'll be," Naruto finally blurted, earning himself a smack on the head.

Sasuke scrunched his face and folded his arms. "Puh-lease," he said, "You're bound to ME remember, granny? Unless if you plan on two-timing me when we get married. Oh, and by the way, that was totally random."

"Perhaps," Sakura laughed and turned back to her dandelion. "THAT is my wish." She took a deep breath and blew the seeds away gently. Unfortunately, the wind blew backwards and sent the fuzzy specks back at the trio.

"Ahhhhhh!" Naruto covered his nose and closed his eyes. "My allergies!"

Sasuke coughed and sneezed, trying to shoo away the seeds around him. "Nice one- Gahk!- Sa...kura!" he choked, "Your wish backfired, literally! Gahhk!"

"Maaaaahhhhhh!" Sakura cried and covered her face. "I didn't mean to do this! Wahhhhhaaaa!"

"Ugh!" Sasuke helped Naruto to his feet and they ran off. "Let's leave her."

"Hey!" Sakura ran ater them. "Wait for me, you guys!"

At the playroom...

"And she's STILL here!" Naruto whined and slumped in his chair. "I thought we lost her at the muddy marshes and ricefields! What happened, Sasuke?"

"She's persistent, that's what." Sasuke looked away.

Sakura sat on the marble floor, panting. "Geez!" she breathed, "You guys sure do run fast. Heehee. Good thing I caught up! Or you would've lost me! Funny, huh?"

"Yeah, funny." Naruto went over to the slide and slid down, emotionless. "I'm bored now! Sasuke, do something!"

"Shut your trap!" Sasuke yelled, popping a vein. "I'm trying to think up of something, dope!"

"I'm bored."

"Shut up."

"I'm bored."

"Shut up, Naruto."

"I'm bored."

"You want my fist in your mouth?!"

"...I'm bored."

"NARUTO!"

"I know what we can do!" Sakura piped, her eyes bright and optimistic.

The boys looked at her curiously. "What?"

Minutes later...

"Tada!" Sakura cheered as she put the apron on Sasuke. "Oh my gosh! You look so CUTE!!!" She turned to Naruto, who was in a doggy suit, and patted him on the head. "And you're cute, too."

"This is stupid," Sasuke grumbled, twitching.

"Oh, c'mon!" Sakura pulled out her toy teaset and grinned brightly. "This tea party will be so much fun! Sasuke, you can be Princess Annabelle. And Naruto..." She giggled. "You'll be Mr. Ginger."

The two males glared at her. "And what are YOU?" Sasuke asked angrily, "The ugly witch who melts in water?"

"Haha, very funny." Sakura took her seat daintily. "I'm ALREADY a Princess, silly. So I don't need a costume."

"I'm just glad that you're leaving tomorrow," Sasuke responded, taking off the apron and bib. "We won't have to play this anymore!"

"Meanie," Sakura muttered.

"Thank you."

"Nice skirt, Princess Annabelle," Naruto snickered, his blue eyes glinting with mischief.

"Hmmm, nice doggy suit, Mr. Ginger," Sasuke replied with a smirk.

"Touche," Naruto admitted grudgingly.

The next day...

Naruto and Sasuke watched as Sakura left for the ship. "She's so girly!" Naruto pointed out, "Now I see why you hate her." He grinned and took out a tomato, showing it to Sasuke happily. "Want me to?"

"Be my guest," Sasuke grinned back.

Naruto took aim at the waving Princess and threw the vegetable at her- hitting her on the head. Everyone around them gasped as she froze in shock. Sasuke held back a laugh by biting his lip. "Pfff..."

Sakura turned around and looked at the boys in disbelief. I can't believe those two! She gave them a death glare and stomped into the royal ship. "They WILL pay," she vowed, "I SWEAR it!"

When the ship departed, Sasuke and Naruto gave each other a high-five. "Nice one, Naruto!" Sasuke laughed hysterically, "That made me feel much better! She deserved it for dressing us up like GIRLS yesterday."

"Yeah, I know!" Naruto smiled.
