Hi there! So in this chapter, it really isn't kind of a date because Naruto is with them, but it's still good. I promise!
Thanks you to all of you who have reviewed!!!
"Sasuke-kun, please come with us to the carnival!" Sakura begged him.
Sasuke glared at his girlfriend. "It's childish," he told her.
"Just leave the teme here," Naruto told Sakura which caused Sasuke to glare at the boy.
Sakura didn't give up though. "Please!" she begged, looking up at him with her big green eyes. Sasuke hated when she did that. It was too hard to say no to her when she did that. Sighing, and closing his eyes, he nodded, giving in.
--------------
The carnival was held every year in Konoha. It had rides, food, games, shops, and tons of other things to do. It was always so much fun. Sakura had come almost every year with either her family or Ino. She was pretty sure though that this was Sasuke's first time coming to it, and she was so happy that he had said yes.She wanted him to have fun. "What should we do first?" she asked the guys.
"Sakura-chan, let's go in there!" Naruto said, pointing at what looked like a fun house.
"Okay!" she said, started towards it with Naruto. Sasuke stopped though, not going any further. "What's wrong?" Sakura called over her shoulder to him.
"You just asked me to come," he told her. "You didn't say I'd have to do anything else."
Sakura rolled her eyes at him. "Just come on," she told him. He still didn't move. "Since you came, you might as well have fun." Sakura said, walking up to him and grabbing his hand, pulling him along.
They went through the entrance of the fun house and it brought them into a room with a maze in it. The walls of the maze were clear so it was really hard to tell where you could walk and not. Naruto lead them through it, crashing into a couple of the see through walls during the process.
The next room was full of those funny mirrors. Naruto stood in front of one and it made him look double his size. Sakura giggled. "See Naruto," she teased. "I told you not to eat so much ramen."
"Sakura-chan," Naruto whined. "Don't be so mean."
They left that room and went into others of the fun house until they came to the last room and saw the exit. To get out of the funhouse; you had to walk through one of those red and white stripped rotating tunnels. Sakura hated them. She always had such a hard time getting through them.
"I'll go first!" she heard Naruto announce.
He took a step into the tunnel and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand back up, but only managed to fall back over again. Sakura burst into giggles at the scene and Sasuke smirked. They watched as Naruto crawled out of the tunnel, and landed on the ground on the other side. "I think I'm gonna throw up," he said, dizzily.
Sasuke went in next with Sakura following closely behind. Sasuke was having no problems. It was like walking in a rotating tunnel was an every day thing for him. Sakura on the other hand, wasn't doing so well. She stumbled, and felt herself start to fall. She reached out, grabbing the back of Sasuke's shirt, trying to steady herself, but all that managed was Sasuke falling with her. Sakura landed on her back in the tunnel with Sasuke falling on top of her. Together, they rolled around on the floor, limbs flailing, and now it was Naruto's turn to laugh at them.
Sasuke managed to get up and stumble out. He reached in for Sakura and grabbed her wrist, dragging her out too. He righted her on her feet and she mumbled out an apology to him. Sasuke let go of her wrist, and with out him supporting her, she felt the whole world start to spin. She reached out and grabbed his arm so she wouldn't fall again, and held on tight. She looked up at Sasuke and saw that he was glaring down at Naruto who was still on ground laughing.
--------------
Sakura saw that the sun was going down now. Naruto, Sasuke, and her had spent hours at the carnival riding rides, and now, they walked through the throng of people surrounding the stalls. They walked past one with a game where you could win a prize if you managed to break a plate with a softball. "Only three dollars! Come on, give it a try," a man called out to them. "It's simple! Anyone can do it!"
Naruto stopped and walked up, looking at the game with interest. "Go on Naruto!" Sakura cheered, walking up behind him with Sasuke following her. "Win something!"
Naruto smiled and gave the guy three bucks, and received three softballs. "Watch this Sakura-chan, I'll win for sure!" he told her proudly. He threw the first one, and missed completely. "I'll get it this time," he said picking up another ball. He threw it and it missed too.
"You suck, Naruto," Sakura said, laughing.
"This game is dumb!" Naruto shouted. "It must be rigged."
"It's not the game, dobe," Sasuke informed him.
Naruto turned to face Sasuke. "Well, if you think it's so easy, you try!" he told him, handing him the last ball. Sighing, Sasuke took it, and looked up, aiming for a plate. He threw the ball, and it his it's target, the plate smashing into pieces.
"Awesome job, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cheered, which caused Sasuke to smirk.
"It was just a lucky shot," Naruto grumbled.
"Want to try again," the man at the booth, asked Naruto. "Only three more dollars."
Naruto nodded, glaring at Sasuke. "I'll show you," he told him, taking the three balls from the man. "I'll hit them all this time." Sasuke and Sakura watched as he missed all three times. Naruto grinded his teeth, frustrated. "One more time," Naruto said, searching his pocket for three dollars.
Bored, Sakura said, "I'm going to go get something to eat." Naruto just grunted. All of his focus was on the game. Sakura walked away sighing with Sasuke following her. 'He's gonna be there all night!' she thought. She walked up to a booth selling cotton candy, and bought one. When she turned around, she saw a little girl chasing after a balloon that had gotten away from her. Sasuke reached out and easily grabbed it, then handed it back to the young girl. The girl took it, thanking him, and then ran off. Sakura smiled at Sasuke.
Sasuke saw her watching him."What?" he asked her.
"Nothing," she said, still smiling at him. "Here, do you want some?" She held out the bag of cotton candy to him.
"I don't like sweet things," he told her, pushing it away.
"That's not true," Sakura said, opening the bag. "You like me don't you?" she asked him, laughing. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her. He watched as she took some of the pink candy and put it in her mouth. "Yum!" she said. "Here, try some." She held the bag out and Sasuke who glared at it.
"No," he told her.
Sakura didn't give up. "Please Sasuke-kun!" she begged. "You don't know if you'll like it or not, until you try it!" He gave in because she knew that she wouldn't stop nagging him until he did. He took a tiny piece of cotton candy out of the bag and put it in his mouth. "You don't like it?" she asked. "You're making a face like it's not good."
"It's disgusting," he informed her.
Sighing, she took the bag back. "Oh well, more for me!" she said, putting more in her mouth. They walked through the rest of the carnival, looking at other stalls and rides. "Oh, let's go on that!" Sakura said, pointing at an old fashioned Farris wheels. She started towards it and Sasuke followed her. He didn't really want to, but he knew she would beg him to like she had been doing all day if he said that he didn't, and he also knew that once again he would give in to her. 'Might as well get it over with,' he thought.
Sakura threw the empty bag of cotton candy in the garbage and they found a spot in the line for the ride. After about ten minutes of waiting, it was their turn. They walked up and sat down in one of the seats, their sides touching. The metal bar came down, strapping them in, and then the ride started.
Around in circles they went. Sakura was laughing while Sasuke looked bored. The ride started to slow down, and it stopped when they were near the top. Sakura peered over the edge and saw a couple being let off, and a new one taking their spots. The Farris wheel moved forward a little bit and now, they were at the highest point of the ride.
Sakura looked up at the stars that had come out now, smiling. "Wasn't that fun?"
Before Sasuke had a chance to answer, someone shouted, "Sakura-chan! Sasuke!" It was Naruto, on the ground, holding up a tiny stuffed animal. "Look, I won!"
Sakura giggled and shouted "Good job!"
"I'm gonna go play some more games!" he shouted up, and then he was gone.
Sakura smiled and after a moment's pause she said, "Sasuke-kun, thanks for coming with us today. I know you didn't want to, and you probably didn't have fun, but thank you for coming."
Sasuke looked over at her and saw that she was looking up at the stars again, with a big smile. He felt a little sting of guilt. He knew he had been in a bad mood all day because of being dragged out to the carnival in the first place. "Sakura," he said, causing her to look at him. "I really did have fun," he told her, and it was true; he just hadn't noticed it until now. He had had fun riding rides with her, and hanging out with her all day.
He leaned down and kissed her softly. He tasted the cotton candy that she had just eaten on her lips, and that's when he decided that cotton candy really wasn't all that bad.
I hope you liked it! Please review!
