To Emily. You can do so much better than him, Em. Ily.


I wrote a goodbye note

In lipstick on your arm

When you passed out

I couldn't bring myself to call

Except to call it quits

Best friends

Ex-friends til the end

Better off as lovers

And not other way around

Racing through the city

Windows down

In the back of

Yellow-checkered cars


Youre Wrong

Are we all Wrong

Youre Wrong

Are we all Wrong

The fingers that were anxiously tapping against the window cell of the kitchen window that over looked the backyard belonged to the slender hand of Naruto. A sigh escaped the young boy's lips as he yelped as a voice was heard on the other line. "Hinata?" The young boy excitedly asked, only for his smile to be broken by the fact that he had only reached his girlfriend and best friend, Hinata's, voice mail. Again.

"Hey, Hinata," Naruto sighed, jumping up onto the counter and sitting, swinging his legs and letting his heels rhythmically hit the cabinets, causing his older sisters who were quietly talking and eating their breakfast to glare. Naruto ignored the glare, shrugging it off. They were probably just low on midol or something. "I just wanted to remind you of our lunch plans. Today. I'm coming to pick you up in like fifteen minutes." He warned.

The two had had plans for lunch at the mall for about a week now. They were supposed to go to see a movie in the park and then out to dinner at their favorite pizza joint, but the plans had been interrupted when Naruto had caught the stomach flu from his brother, and through out the week Naruto had tried to make it up to her. He had suggested going to the museum, but Hinata had broken her wrist and was in the hospital. Various things had blocked them from going to the side walk sales to the mall, and everything in between.

Finally, Naruto had settled on today. Both of them were healthy and with no plans, Naruto had been trying to make this perfect. After he would buy a perfect lunch for him and his fiance, he was planning on picking up the real engagement ring and give it to her, something that she didn't know about it yet. Naruto hung up his phone, flinging it onto the counter. He began to anxiously do the dishes at a fast pace, a smile spread across his face.

He had spent hours and hours inside the story, from 8:30 am all the way until it closed, pacing the store, trying to find the perfect ring. Nothing too traditional, nothing too modern. Nothing too big, or too small. It had to be perfect, something that would make Hinata stare, then look up into his eyes with those deep, passionate, longing glance and all would be well. One more year. One more year of high school and then they could go get their own house.

In his haze, Naruto dropped a dish and it fell to the floor, breaking into a million pieces. He shook back to his reality, his siblings that were in the room screaming at him. Naruto shook his head, ignoring their words. This was going to be a happy day, and he wasn't going to let his pissy siblings get in the way of that. A dreamy smile on his face as he sweeped up the shards and disposed of them in the trash can.

Looking up at the clock, he ran his hands through his already washed and styled blonde locks, checking his appearance in the glare of the oven. Grabbing the keys from the basket near the door and swinging them around his index finger, he skipped down the stairs and into the car. Swinging open the driver's door, he smiled, checking out his appearance in the mirror before speeding off in the direction of Hinata's house.

When he arrived at his girlfriend's house, he noticed that she had been sitting on the porch, reading a novel. He rolled down the window, and the noise caused the young girl to look up, startled. Her startled glance changed from startled to joyous as she rose on her feet, springing up and lightly sprinting over to the car. She smiled lightly, a blush appearing on her fair features as she slid into the passenger's side.

"Hey babe," He leaned over, feeling more at ease now that she was finally here. "You look beautiful." He sincerely stated, leaning over and kissing his fiance on the lips, caressing her cheek softly and letting her smooth lips run over his as well before he gently shied out of the kiss, heading in the direction of the mall. He heard Hinata buckle her seat belt and settle into the worn seat.

"Thanks, Naruto." Her small voice piped as the pair drove in the direction of the mall. Naruto waited a few moments as Hinata talked about the new book she was reading. "Oh, and I brought something for you." Hinata reached into her crocheted purse and produced an unlabeled CD. Naruto grinned, one thing that came with being Hinata's boyfriend was the awesome music that she gave him.

"Sweet, thanks babe." He smiled, anxiously taking the CD and popping it in. Today's choice had been a mix of 80's British rock and a little bit of broadway show tunes thrown in for some flavor. Naruto smirked as he drove along, listening as Hinata quietly sang along. The mix was something that only Hinata could produce, and he loved how she paired the weirdest things together, and they somehow seemed to fit.

"God dammit, this place is packed." Naruto huffed under his breath as they drove up and down the aisles in the parking lot. He finally found one, pulling in and turning off the car. "Ready?" He asked. Hinata nodded, turning off the radio and getting out the car. Naruto instantly took Hinata's arm and linked it with his own, walking into the mall. He felt her glance at him a few times, and he glanced back, smiling. Everytime they would exchange a glance, he would gently bump his hip against hers, sending her into a fury of giggles.

As they entered the mall, Naruto suddenly felt panic stricken. He knew that he'd have all of lunch to prepare, but he was so worried that she wasn't going to like the ring. Taking a deep breath, he led her to the elevator. Seeing the doors begin to close, he held out his foot to stop it. A passenger held out their hand and Naruto smiled, entering and pulling Hinata in with her. Closing the elevator door, Naruto's jaw dropped.

"Hi guys." He said, blinking at the site.

Sakura, Sasuke, Tenten, Neji, and him and Hinata in the elevator.

Together.
