Aimi was on a mission the next day. No, not the type you're thinking. She was on a mission to make up with Sasuke.
She scanned her classroom and saw him sitting alone in his "position". She ran up to him. "Hi Sasuke!" she said. He looked at her. His eyes were filled with despair. "You will talk to me now?" he said. Aimi's eyes faded from brown to gray. "I'm sorry. I don't hate you. I just said those things because I was mad at you for sticking up for me when I should've thanked you. I get scared when I think I cant fend for myself. I think that one day, you wont be around to help and I'll have to save myself but I might not know how if I don't learn. I don't hate you. You're one of my best friends." she said. He stared at her. "You're…sorry?" he asked. "Yeah." Aimi said. When he didn't speak for a minute, Aimi began to panic. He wasn't going to forgive her. She blinked back tears and turned around. Sasuke grabbed her hand. "I forgive you." he said. Aimi turned and they shared a hug.
Aimi went to a seat, again in between Naruto and Miko. She noticed something weird. Naruto would glance at Miko and blush then turn away. Miko would do the same. Well that's weird. Wait… they… Awww! That's so cute! Aimi smiled at them.
She jumped up and ran to Sasuke again. She explained a plan to him about those two. "Very Shakespeare." Sasuke said looking at them. "Well yeah, but…" Aimi said. "Whatever, I'll do it." Sasuke said. He got up and walked over to Naruto while Aimi walked to Miko. The plan begun.
--SASUKE'S SIDE OF THE PLAN--
Sasuke kneeled by Naruto's desk. "Hey, dork." he said. Naruto looked at him. "Dang you!" Naruto said. He was going to throw a punch when Sasuke spoke again. "That was just to get your attention. See Miko over there?" he said. He pointed toward Miko where Aimi was talking to her. "Yeah?" Naruto said, beginning to blush. "I hear she likes you." Sasuke said. He nudged Naruto in the side. Naruto looked to Miko. "Really?" Naruto asked.
--AIMI'S SIDE OF THE PLAN--
Aimi sat down near Miko. "Hey Miko." she said. "Hi Aimi." Miko replied. "Can I let you in on a secret?" Aimi said. Miko set down her pencil. "Sure!" she replied cheerfully. Aimi leaned in and whispered, "Word has it Naruto likes you." Miko blinked. "Naruto likes me?" she asked. "Mmm-hmm." Aimi said. Miko looked at Naruto to see Naruto looking at her.
Special moment.
Sasuke and Aimi winked at each other and left Miko and Naruto to talk.
20 minutes later, Naruto and Miko sealed their talk with a tiny kiss on the cheek.
Plan fulfilled.
()()()()()FAST FORWARD, AFTER SCHOOL, BOTH POVS, MOSTLY SASUKE'S()()()()()
Naruto and Miko walked home all dreamy and cute together. Aimi was so proud.
Aimi met up with Sasuke and they walked together after school. They didn't go strait home, though. They walked around the edges of the forest. They talked. About everything.
They stopped at one place and stood there just staring at each other. They sat on a stump and talked some more. They were enjoying one another's company.
Somehow, they got on the subject of dreams. "Aimi, what do you dream about?" Sasuke asked. "I usually dream about my paradise. Everything I like, the weather I like, the people I like… and if I have a nightmare, it is in my paradise. My paradise turns on me, ya know? My paradise, basically." Aimi replied. Hn, her dreams sound great. I wonder who the people are. Oh you're just hoping you're in her dreams. Shut up. "Like last night. I dreamt I was in my paradise, as usual. But you were there. And I was mad at you then, right? Well, you were there and I bumped into you. You looked at me all sad. I was trying to talk to you, but you couldn't understand me. I tried to talk some more to you and then you…" Aimi faded out, looking scared and sad.. You ARE in her dreams… but this doesn't sound good. Shut up. "Then I what?" Sasuke asked. "You…You…" Aimi tried to talk but then shook her head and began to shake. "What? What did I do? Whatever it is, I didn't really do it… right?" Sasuke asked, getting a little worried. "No, you didn't. but it felt so real…" Aimi said. "What felt real? Aimi, you can trust me." Sasuke said, taking a hold of her shoulders. "You… hit me…" Aimi said, looking scared. Sasuke shook his head rapidly. "No, Aimi! No, I would never do that!" he said. A few weeks ago you would've. I'm not really THAT bad, am I? "I know. I know! It just felt really real…" Aimi said. "But it was just a dream. Nothing that bad, right?" Aimi added, wiping her eyes and putting on a smile. "Yeah." Sasuke said, relieved Aimi had calmed down. He didn't do well with sad people.
"What do YOU dream about?" Aimi asked, cheering herself up more. Ohhhh, I know! I know! Shut up!! "I dream about…what young men usually dream about." Sasuke said, a small smile tugging at him. Whatever you do, don't smile and be happy.that will ruin your reputation! And you'd be happy! We don't want THAT, now do we? Shut. Up. Now. Aimi smiled. "Hn. What most young men dream about. So that would be… girls, fighting, and money." she laughed. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Shut up. Sasuke gave up and turned around so he could smile. "Sasuke! What'cha turning around for?" Aimi asked playfully. "Uhm… Nothing. I thought I saw a deer. False alarm." Sasuke said, turning back to Aimi. She folded her arms. "Riiight. Deer." she said, smiling. Uh oh! Don't smile again! She's onto you! Go away! "Yeah. Deer." he said quickly. "Whatever ya say, Sasuke." Aimi said, grinning and shaking her head.
