Oh my god. Two months guises? I am so sorry! But I make up to you with a bit of back stories, Naruto/Sasuke fluffiness and a pretty lengthy chapter.

Summer is drawing to an end. Most would say writing is going to slow down. Not for me it's not! Since I am not going to be going to school this year, I will have plenty of free time to write for you lovelylovely people!

A little side bit. If you go on my profile there's a link to Tumblr. It's my writing blog. There's little excerpts from my stories that I am writing. So if you guises want you can go check that out!

I'll be quiet now and let you read!

Naruto's POV:

I sighed as I walked the halls, hearing the snickering and feeling the odd looks I received from the students roaming the hallways. I didn't want to even attempt to go to the lunchroom, so I opted for going ahead to Ms. Gaza's class.

When I entered the class, I saw Sasuke sitting in the room and smiled a bit. The smile turned into a frown at hearing laughter. Looking around Sasuke, I saw that Alex was sitting beside him, now laughing at me.

"Oh, what in the hell did you do to make Kyuubi do that?" she asked through her laughter.

Sasuke raise an eyebrow at this, but I waved it off. Changing the subject I asked, "So, how was your weekend?" as I sat in my usual spot.

The raven looked to his brunette friend who looked a bit sheepish and said, "Eventful."

"You know what," Alex announced standing up, "I'm gonna go get a bottle of water." She had a grin on her face as she made her way out of the room.

Once she was gone, I turned back to Sasuke, "So everything's alright between you two now?" I watched as the raven raised his eyebrow again. I couldn't help the smile that made it's way to my face as I answered, "Gaara said something about you two having a fight."

He nodded, "Yeah, everything's okey. Though I do have to ask you what happen to your hair."

I let out a laugh, "Me and my brother have this whole 'Never Ending Prank War' going on in the house. Nothing is off limits as you can see." I gestured to my hair. A chuckle escaped him which gave me a bit more courage to ask the next question. 'Courage? I'm not scared.. Okey A bit nervous. But never scared.' "My birthday's coming up in October and I was wondering if you wanted to come to my birthday party."

A small smile played out on the raven's face urging me on, "My mom over heard me and Gaara talking about you and Alex and she wanted me to ask you." The smile fell. "Not saying that I wouldn't want you there anyway! I mean it'd be cool to have you there. You know with Alex if she wants." 'What did I not like that he wasn't smiling anymore..?'

"I'm back!"

We both turned to the door where Alex came walking in unscrewing the top of her water, "And he followed me here." she added with a smile as she pointed over her shoulder at Gaara who was indeed following her. As soon as she took a drink of water and looked at me she busted out in laughter, Gaara joining her with chuckles.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Laugh it up." I said making a face a both of them.

"I am going to have to meet your brother. I admire his pranksmanship." she said, her laughter hardly dying down.

Standing up with a roll of my eyes, I walked to Ms. Gaza's table at the front of the room and stole a light blue sticky note and a pencil. I wrote the house number as well as my cell down and handed the note to Sasuke as I walked back to my seat. "If you do want to come, my mom wants you or your brother to call. The top one's the house but it's likely that no one will answer, so the other ones my cell." I explained.

Sasuke nodded and stuck the note in his ever present lyric notebook just as the bell signaling that lunch was over rung. He stood up and trade seats with Gaara, 'When did Gaara even sit down?' I wondered as people stared filing in the room.

I got many comments on my hair, not all of them nice I might add. Sakura immediately came up to me and gave me praise on it. She then gave Sasuke a flirty wave to which he glared ad rolled his eyes at. Everyone got to their seats just as Gaza came into the room and started class.

Pulling out a piece of paper I wrote:

What's up with the eye roll at Sakura?

I really do not like her.

Any particular reason?

Besides that she's a bitch to Amber? No, not really.

Nodding slowly, I fold the paper we were having our conversation on and put it on my notebook. 'He's so angry..' I thought wondering if it was more to it then he said.

Alex's POV:

I glanced at Gaara as Gaza was talking and could tell something was wrong. Tearing a piece of paper out of my notebook I wrote: What's wrong? And slid it towards him.

He gave a sad smile. It's nothing.

Could I tempt you with coffee and cookies? =D

I could tell this brought an inaudible chuckle from the redhead from the shake of his shoulders. With a nod he wrote: Meet me at the cafe after school?

With a grin I wrote back: Okey! =]

As I pulled out my phone to text Sasuke, I watched out the corner of my eye as Gaara slid the note into his notebook and went back to taking note on the lesson. I found the last message in my inbox and replied, "'Do you work today?'" He responded with no. 'Damnitt.' I thought.

He must have sensed my curse because he sent: "'What's wrong?'"

"'I told Gaara I'd meet him at the cafe after school.'"

"'Did you just ask him on a date?'"

"'I didn't technically- It's not a date! I bribed him with cookies and coffee.'"

"'That's as close to asking someone on a date as you ever get.'" I threw him a dirty look to which he replied with, "'Just ask him if you can ride with him. I'll tell Itachi you had a long day and needed some down time.'"

I grinned. "'ILY! 3'" I sent watching while he received it. He smirked and drew a small heart in front of him in response. Not wanting to use another piece of paper, I opened a blank message and typed out: "'Would it be a problem if I caught a ride with you?'" Then tapped the redhead on the arm.

He read the message and swiftly took my phone and typed back a response: "'Not at all. Meet me at the sitting area in the courtyard.'"

With a nod a whispered, "Thanks." to which he nodded with a smile smile.

It took a moment to realize exactly what had just transpired. 'Ohmygod! I'm going on a date! Wait.. is it even a date? Gahh!' I was so into my mental spazz attack that I didn't notice the bell ring.

Gaara gently nudged my shoulder, "Alex, class is over." he said softly. Once he saw that I was aware of this he began walking off with, "Meet you later."

Sasuke walked over to where I was still sitting. Verbally spilling her mental spazzing to him. He sat his hands on my shoulder, "Breathe." I did. "You're two friends having coffee."

"Okey." I sighed as I packed up my things. "What about the ride there? I'm socially awkward! I don't know how to talk to people!"

"Bring up music. No one can ever go wrong with music." he said, not all fazed by my spazzing. I let out a whine as we walked into English. He ruffled my hair, earning a glare from me before saying, "You'll me fine. Just be you." he said before we both took our seats.

Gaara's POV:

With a deep sigh I walked out of the building of my last class and shielded my eyes from the sun that was glaring down. 'Sun, why must you be so bright?' I wondered. I glanced around and saw Alex sitting at the table in the courtyard. She had a small notebook open and was writing, her head bobbing to music I knew she was listening to.

As I walked closer, I saw bright pink hair making a bee-line straight for her. I weaved my way effortless through the ground and got to the brunette girl before Sakura did. I tapped on her shoulder to gain her attention. She took her headphones out and smiled up at me. In a tone a it louder then I usually use I said, "Are you ready to go?"

She nodded and I waited while she packed her things. As she did, I glanced at Sakura who let out a huff then walked away and couldn't help the smirk that formed on my lips. I saw that Alex was all packed and I lead her to the car. I placed my bag in the back seat once we were both in the car and said she could do the same.

The drive was quiet for awhile. "So, how was your day?" I asked not really liking the silence.

"Pretty good. Didn't really pay attention in class, got yelled at for not paying attention and for writing in class." She shrugged, "Same old, same old." I chuckled. "And your day?"

"It was okey, you know school work, teachers and the like." I answered and the car fell into silence again.

This time it was Alex who broke the quiet, "Mind if I turn the radio on?" she asked hand over the volume. With a shake of my head, she turned the volume up, turning the radio on.

"Take me by the tongue And I'll know you Kiss me 'til you're drunk And I'll show you All the moves like Jagger I've got the moves like Jagger I've got the moves like jagger.."

She began singing along with the radio, "I don't need to try to control you Look into my eyes and I'll own you You with them moves like Jagger I've got the moves like Jagger I've got the moves like Jagger.." Half way through, I had joined her singing under my breath.

"You like this song?" I heard her ask.

'I've been caught.' "I do. I've always been a fan of Maroon 5's, though I'm not to big on their new stuff. But this song is pretty good." It was then that we had pulled up to the cafe. We both climbed out of the car and walked into the cafe.

Shukaku raised an eye brow at us but I waved him off. He nodded and said, "Your usuals will be up in a bit." as they walked over the couch and made ourselves comfortable.

Alex let out a laugh, "This is becoming the heart to heart spot isn't it?" she said with a smile as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

'I like her smile. It's pretty on her.' I thought smiling at bit myself. "Indeed it is." I said as our orders arrived with cookies.

After we had thank the older man, we began sipping at out espressos. The brunette girl turned to face me, "Alright, I've held up my end of the bargain."

I chuckled, 'I guess I can tell her the shortened version.' "My father was suppose to be kept in jail, but apparently the charges have been dropped. He's done some pretty.. bad things. I hoped I'd never have to see him again." I told her staring at the plate of cookies.

"Aren't father's the worst?" I heard her ask which caused me to look up. "After my mother left when I was about five, my father thought it'd be great to go on a drug kick. Well that kicks actually turned into about.." she looked as though she were doing a few mental calculations, if the counting on her fingers were any indication. "More than 10 years."

I stared at the girl in front of me. 'Never have a met a person who I could relate to so much.' "Looks like we're a lot alike."

She smiled, "Looks like it." she said sipping at her coffee.

Sasuke's POV:

I sighed contently as I picked up a cinnamon roll from the pan sitting before me on my bed. Supernatural was playing on the TV but, I barely paid it any mind. I was looking from my phone sitting on my bed to the sticky note that was sticking to my lamp beside my bed back to the TV only to have the process repeat.

Little did I know that my dear older brother was watching me. "You know this isn't a good sign." he commented, nearly scaring me out of my skin.

"I have a question for you." I said, not know his exact reaction to it. "Well more like a statement that you can approve or disapprove of."

"MmHm?"

"Naruto invited me to his birthday party, his mom wants us all to go. You know me, you and Alex."

"Sounds nice." Itachi said with a nod.

'That's it?' "Alright. Um, she wants you to call her." I said gesturing to the sticky note, to which I was looking at between my phone and the TV.

Itachi nodded and took his phone out, dialing the first number on the sticky note. "Just text him." he said ruffling my hair and walking out of the room.

Taking a deep breath, and a bite of cinnamon roll, I picked up my phone and entered the number in a blank text message. 'He's gonna think it's odd for me to text him. I shouldn't.. but if I don't I'll probably never get the chance to do it again..' Before I could think better I typed: "'Hey, it's Sasuke. My brother said it was cool for us to go to your birthday party.'" and hit send.

I stared at my phone and wished I could take the text back, 'Oh my god. That was so stupid. What was I even thinking?' My phone buzzed beside me signaling a message. Opening it I saw it read: "'Awesome! So what're you gonna get me? :D'"

I let out a laugh, "'Who says I'm getting you anything?'"

"'You can't come to somebody's birthday party and not bring them anything! :'('"

"'Well, what would you like for your birthday?'"

"'I dunno. Lol.'"

"'That helps me a lot! What kinda music do you like?'"

"'Pretty much anything. Not a big screamo or heavy metal fan though.'"

"'I'm not one for heavy metal either. A bit a screamo I can handle though.'"

"'Really? I pegged you as this hardcore heavy metal fan.'"

"'Please tell me you're joking.'"

"'Lol. Yes I am.'"

"'Good. You know I play the guitar, how about you? Have an instruments you play?'"

"'I'm working on the keyboard. Though according to everyone in the house, I'm pretty good.'"

I locked away all the information that I was receiving from the text conversation. Before I knew it, we had already been texting for a good two hours. Turns out the two of us had a lot more in common them I thought. We liked and disliked most of the same foods, movie and people.

Sitting the empty tray on the foot of my bed, I flipped my phone opened at feeling it buzzing and read the text: "'Seriously though. Why don't you like Sakura? You had some serious angry vibes today.'"

With a sigh I typed back a reply, "'She's a very avid fan-girl. I'm sure being a jock you know how that is. Not only that she seems to want to make Alex's year a living hell.'"

"'That bitch.'"

"'Yeah. Needless to say there are bitter feelings.'"

"'So how did you and Alex become friends?'"

I stared at the phone trying to figure out exactly what and how to tell the blonde, "'It's a long story and a lot to text,'" Taking a deep breath I typed, "'Mind if I call?'"

"''Course not!'"

Smiling, I hit the send button when his number was highlighted. He picked up on the second ring, "Alright so what's this oh-so long story?"

I couldn't help but chuckle, "The funny thing about our friendship is we use to hate each other." I heard Naruto laugh and I laid back on my bed staring up at the ceiling as I told him a shorten version of Alex and I's friendship. "Deidara was the one that officially introduced us. They had met.. somehow." 'Best not to give details.' "And she was in pretty bad shape mentally. Dei and my brother, who's a psychologist, were long time friends and Dei though he could help her. So he bung bringing her to the house. My dislike for her stared when she ate my cinnamon rolls."

"Oh come on! You can't be serious!" Naruto said, a smile evident in his voice.

"Hey, who's telling this story?" There were a few muttered words that caused me to smirk and continue. "I came home from band practice one day and she's sitting in my living room eating my cinnamon rolls. I stomp towards her and snatched them from her. She gives me a dirt look and snatches them back. This went on for a good ten minutes before we started to just grab the actual pastries from the pan and scarf them down. Oh man, Itachi yelled at us so much then.

"From that day one we would steady send each other dirty looks and glares whenever we passed by each other. Then came the day that changed everything. I was walking down the stairs and heard a thump at the door. I thought it was nothing because it was raining outside, but something told me to go to the door. When I did I found Alex there soaking wait and a mess. I got her inside, got her a change of clothes and had her sitting in the living room.

"Since there were no more cinnamon rolls, all we had were pudding cups. I gave her one and we sat in the living room eating them. She made the comment, 'You know these are pretty delicious. They may be better than cinnamon rolls.' Which of course sparked an argument. Five minutes later we stopped and busted out laughing once we realized we were fussing of deserts. And the rest I guess you can say is history."

Naruto let out a laugh, "Man. We have so much in common."

"What'ya mean?" I asked doing a double-take at my phone.

"That's kinda the same way me and Gaara became friends." he said.

"What's you two's story?" I asked curiously.

"Well," There was a loud yelling from his end of the phone. "Looks like that'll be a story for another time. Mom's calling me for dinner. See ya at school tomorrow!"

"I look forward to it. See you then." I said with a smile as I closed my phone.

"Sasuke dinner!" Itachi called from downstairs.

I walk downstairs to the dinning room where Itachi, Alex and Deidara were already sitting. We all began to chow down on the fried chicken that Deidara had brought home. "So, how was everyone's day?" said blonde questioned.

"Pretty good." I said, but heard someone echo me. Looking up, I saw that Alex was looking at me. We grinned at each other before saying, "Details later."

Itachi and Deidara shook their heads at us.

"Dei, why'd you bring dinner?" Alex questioned.

"Oh, Itachi asked if I was coming over. I said I guess and he asked me to pick something up for dinner and he paid me back."

Alex and I locked eyes with each other and I knew the smirk that was on her face was matched with my own.

Hope Naruto and Sasuke's text conversation wasn't too hard to follow. I tried to keep it short, but keep the conversation going. I also tried to proof read this chapter. Not sure if I spotted everything or not, forgive me if I didn't.

So! What did you guys think? Any predictions on what's going to happen next? I wanna know what you guises think because I love you all.

Now it's time to work on TBT! Laterz! *two finger salute*
