Nichole's lucky day

One random day...(after Christmas and before New Year's)

I said, "Nichole how did you meet Gaara?

Nichole said, "It was back in 8th grade, where were you that year anyway?"

I said, "That was when I got grounded for one whole year because I snuck out of the house."

Nichole said, "Why?"

I said, "I wanted to see the comic-con convention but I lost my jacket on the way there." "But I figured it would have been fine because Everyone cosplays!" "It's not like anyone would think that they were real..." "Boy was I wrong." "This guy with brown hair and blue eyes... He was so pretty. That's why I remember him... But then again; it looked like he had blonde hair for a second before he scratched his head." "He looked like he had very thin whisker-marks on his cheek but you could barely see them..." 0_0 … "Oh My GOD!" "It was NARUTO IN DISGUISE!"

Nichole said, "He was probably wearing it so he didn't get mauled by fangirls." "Actually... I was at that Comic-con too but it was a big convention so you probably didn't see me." "Hey wait a minute! I remember now! There was a big commotion..."

I said, "Anyway... Naruto was petting one of my tails because he thought it was fake then he said, "This feels so real... how do you keep them attached?" Then he pulled on the tail he had. "Of course I screamed Ow!" TT-TT "It hurts just thinking about it..." Then he said, "OH MY GOD! SHE'S A REAL-LIFE NEKO!" With half the room staring some people said, "What?" "Where?" "Then they saw me and chased me out with... with torches and pit-pitchforks." "I very narrowly escaped with my life because I happened to stumble across a metal Hollywood-set tree." "After they were all gone I called Helen and she grounded me for the rest of the year."

Nichole said, "So that was You..." (on a totally unrelated side note my chair just broke … more.) "No wonder I was the first and last in line to be in line for a contest to live in Gaara's second estate in the leaf village: which he Used to not use often... of course that's changed now." Digs around in her pocket, "There it is!"

It read: You could be one of the Lucky winners to... Meet the Naruto Cast or live in Gaara's second estate which is Located in the Hidden Leaf Village! In fine print at the very bottom it read: The one who is chosen to live in Gaara's second estate is not required to live with Gaara (if he's there) by ANY means. You would just have to live somewhere else for the short stay that Gaara is there.

I said, "Wow... you had that in your pocket this Whole time?" "If I had that poster I would have lost it by now."

Nichole said, "Since I was the only one to sign up before the time limit ended... I got both of the prizes." "By the way... what was you're original trip to the Comic-con like before things got all bad?"

I said, "I did the usual: I went to a pockey booth; ate some pockey while I was cosplaying as Sakura. Oh yeah... When I was just walking around I won the best-cosplay contest over some chick dressed as San; she would have won if they had separate categories between Neko cosplay and regular cosplay."

"I was wearing a Sakura-wig the entire time at the Comic-con. Several times I ran into her in fact... while I was in line at the pockey booth, when I was buying a white tiger plushie from Diedera (long story short he made money off of his 'fake' clay that was in different shapes, sizes, and animals; he found an empty booth and started using it. He just decided to sell the white tiger from another vender but he had bought the last one in stock.)"

"I got the Very last box of Pockey before the booth ran out and 'San' was behind me wanting Pockey too... then The Tiger plushie she wanted; I got it Right before she did too." "Man; I bet she HATED me!" "I just got All the autographs I wanted from all the Bleach cast, all the Ouran Highschool host club cast, and I only got all of the Naruto autographs is because I asked Gaara to get me his autograph for you and he (very out-of-character-like) was nice to me and got everyone to sign mine and yours." "I think I left it at home... unfortunately." "Man, I was wanting to bring it."

Nichole shrugs and said, "Oh well." "How about let's watch Princess Monoke now?"

I said, "You took the words right out of my mouth; all this talk of San gives me the craving to watch it." I set up the PS3 in my house, got out my Princess Monoke DVD and pressed play.

30 mins later...
Ding Dong!

Kiba walked in while we was watching and said, "I dressed as San at the Comic-Con 2 years ago before." "I Almost won the best-cosplay costume too but a two tailed Sakura beat me."

I jumped and said, "Really; Kiba?"

Kiba said, "Yes."

Nichole said, "San was Kiba!"

Kiba said, "Now that I think about it... Oh my God Kat!" "You and I met before the leaf village!"

I said, "Oh my God!" "That's soo weird!"

Nichole said, "Tell me about it."

I said, "Anyway... Let's watch the rest of the movie."

1 hour 30 mins later...

I said, "Nichole when did you know that you and Gaara could be a couple?"

Nichole said, "Well..."

Gaara suddenly appeared behind us... and said, "I knew it from the moment I met her that she was different from the other fangirls." "She didn't try to get past my sandshield... and well... she is beautiful." (Gaara's POV)

Somewhere in Gaara's mind...

Shukaku said, "You love her..."

I said, "Do not!"

Shukaku said, "Don't Lie to me Boy!" "I can tell."

I said, "You don't know how to love!"

Shukaku said, "So did you."

I said, "That was before Naruto came into my life." "He taught me that even through the pain I had suffered that you can still be a great person." "You don't have to live your life being feared by everyone around you and eventually... you'll make friends."

Shukaku said, "That is a bunch of bull shit and you know it." "You already met two people who aren't what they seem..." "Anyway... why don't you go to sleep?"

I said, "No!" "I won't let you!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" "I Know you are lying!" "NOW GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Shukaku said; right before he got banished from Gaara's mind, "We'll see..." Then laughed manically until he left. (look up Gaara's Crazy Laugh)

*pops back into where he is just handing Nichole the spare key to his house*

Nichole said, "Gaara... I can sense him."

I said, "Sense who?"

Nichole said, "The Tanuki." "I can sense he was talking to you."

I said, "That's impossible."

Nichole said, "But, you were; weren't you?"

I hesitated; while I was wondering what she heard... and I said, "Yes; I was."

That was right at the time when everyone came in and I mentally sighed in relief.

I said, "Will you go out with me?"

Nichole said, while surprised, "O-okay."

That was the beginning of my happiness.
