In Retrospect
5: Soap Lovers
It was the episode, according to the Little Miss Know-It-All, where Chloe goes into labor in the cabin after The Reveal, and Cane will suddenly turn his back on their marriage like 'he has a fatal love-ESP attraction with Lily!' on the show, and oh, the drama. . .!
Sasuke didn't care for drama.
Another soap opera? Yes. Boring? To Sasuke, it couldn't get any more dull.
But meanwhile, the two other stooges ( though, did Sasuke actually count as the third idiot . . .? ) were gasping at the shocking scenes of 'hurt, betrayal, and lust' presented on Sakura's flat screen.
Another snowy evening in Konohagakure meant definite trouble, and somehow, Sasuke thought with an imaginary rain cloud pouring wet misery over his head, he was the one who always suffered. . . .
"Look, Naru-chan! It's Katherine! She's going to be tricked by psycho-case Kay and Murphy will be her white knight and rescue her!" Sakura squealed, and Naruto shook his head like some sort of sage/wise-man who had seen every soap ever aired.
He probably has, Sasuke thought with a shudder. How terribly odd. . . but what did he expect from a boy who still ate fun dip and dressed up as Blossom for Halloween? ( Naruto said he had the blond hair for it, after all, and that baby blue was his color. )
"Sasuke, would you be my white night if Kay stole me away?" Sakura asked, batting her eyelashes. For once, Sasuke lifted his dreary mood – sort of - and narrowed his eyes with a small smile and threw a pillow at the pink haired girl's head, sending them all in to laughter with the drama of Cane, endangering birthing processes and kidnapping filling the air along along side their voices.

Notes:
A little weird, but that entire plot scene above was on the latest episode of The Young and the Restless, and I loved it. :3 Weird, ne? I'm sure no one ever thought me to be the soap-loving type. Well, neither did I but that's what happens when you flip through channels when you have tonsillitis! I totally picture Sakura to be the soap-type of girl who could win Naruto over with her favorite channels, so I hope you enjoyed it. Reviews are appreciated.
