A/N: Alrighty then. Here's the next chapter!! Again, just a fair warning, Gaara is like a lot out of character in part of this chapter so....hopefully you don't mind. I tried my best to keep him as in character as possible.

Disclaimer: I own nothing from Naruto, just Ami and her family.

Nighttime Activities

It was almost midnight and I was sleeping peacefully in my bed. That is until a tapping at my window woke me up. I sat up in my bed and looked at the window. "Huh?" I got up and opened the window. A stream of sand came through and went in a circular pattern and Gaara appeared in it. "Gaara?!" I said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Im bored." He said. I gave him a weird look.

"And what do you want me to do about that?"

"Do something with me." He said.

"Like what?" I said, kind of irritated he woke me up just because he was bored.

He hesitated for a minute then said. "I want to show you something."

"Gaara its the middle of the night." I said. "Can't it wait till morning?"

"No." he said.

I sighed. "Fine. Let me get dressed." I went into my bathroom and changed into my normal clothes. Then I came back out. "Ok. Lets go."

"Hold on to me." Gaara said. "

What?" I said.

"I'm teleporting us to the place." He said. I hesitated, then went over to him and put my arms around his neck. He put one arm around my waist which made me blush for some reason. I didn't understand why. We had done this a lot of times before, so what was going on with me? Gaara put one hand in front of his face in a hand sign and sand started coming around both of us. I closed my eyes. A few seconds later, I heard Gaara say "Ok. We're here." I opened my eyes and gasped.

We were in a forest standing in front of a river with a small waterfall. I couldn't believe something like this would be out here.

"Do you like it?" Gaara asked me.

"I love it!" I screamed. "Its beautiful! Where did you find this? Where are we?"

"You think I'd tell you?" he said. I just looked at him.

"Fine. Don't tell me." I started taking off my clothes.

Gaara's eyes went wide. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Going for a swim." I said taking off my pants. I was now in my black bra and underwear. I didn't really care about undressing to my underwear in front of Gaara. I mean, we've been best friends since we were six.

"You don't even have a bathing suit." Gaara said not looking at me.

"A bra and underwear are basically the same thing." I said walking over to the water. I jumped in and came back up. "Come on in. Its great!" I said smiling.

"No." he said flatly.

"Oh, come on Gaara. What, are you afraid of me seeing you in your boxers?" I said teasingly.

He glared at me then took off his gourd and shirt. For the second time tonight, I blushed. And I still didn't understand why. I've seen Gaara with his shirt off before. Something was definitely wrong with me. Thinking back, I had never really had feelings for a guy. Most guys were too afraid to even talk to me because of Gaara. And I always thought Gaara was cute, but I never really thought of him as more than a friend. Was that changing?

I couldn't help but stare at him. Gaara took his pants off and looked at me. He came over to the water, noticed I was totally out of it, and jumped in right next to me. This got me out of my trance.

"Hey!!" I said and splashed him when he came back up. He smirked and splashed me back. (A/N: I told you Gaara would seem a bit out of character in here at points but Ami is his best friend. And his only friend so he can act playful sometimes.)

The two of you fooled around and had fun for a while. "Ami?" Gaara said. I looked at him.

"Yeah?"

He hesitated. "I'm sorry about earlier. Its just, those guys made me mad. The way they were talking about you-"

"What do you think of me?" I asked. I decided there's was only one thing to do to solve this problem with my feelings. I had to find out if Gaara thought of me as just a friend. If he did, then I would just assume it was just something in the air that was making me feel like this.

"Huh?" Gaara said.

"What do you think of me?" I asked again looking him straight in the eye.

"Um, well, I think your...sweet.." I started moving closer to him. My body was moving on its own. "..and kind..." I was a few feet in front of him now "..a-and pretty..." he was getting nervous, which is different for Gaara. Our lips were a few centimeters apart "..and.." he didn't finish because our lips touched. I didn't know what I was doing. All I knew was that I wanted this, and for some reason it felt like I had wanted it for a long time. Surprisingly he kissed me back almost immediately. I was shocked at the feeling of his lips. As soon as our lips touched, I felt a spark. It was only a few seconds before we pulled away and stared at each other.

My eyes widened and I looked away from him. "Um s-sorry. I, uh, sort of got caught up in the moment."

"Yea me two." Gaara said with a far off look. It seemed like he was thinking about something. "I mean, we are just friends."

"Yeah." I said looking down. For some reason, the sound of those words made me want to cry. "Just friends."

There was silence for a few minutes then Gaara said "Maybe I should get you back before your dad and brother realize you're gone." I nodded and got out followed by Gaara. We both put our clothes back on. "Come on." Gaara said.

I walked over to him and put my arms around his neck and he put one hand around my waist and made a hand sign with the other. We disappeared in the sand and reappeared in my room. We let go of each other and I looked at Gaara. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the academy." I said smiling, still thinking of what happened earlier.

"Yea. Guess so." Gaara said. "Good bye." Then he disappeared.

I sighed and looked at the clock. 3:00 am. 'Man, we were out for a long time. I didn't even realize it.' I thought. 'Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Might as well get some sleep' With that I changed back into my pajamas and went to bed.

A/N: See? Told you Gaara would be kind of out of character. But like I said, I tried my best to keep him in character. Anyway, reviews please!!
