I do not own any character, settings, items, etc from the anime/manga, Naruto! I do own Abby and Sarah, other original characters, and anything else that I came up with. Please enjoy and review :)

A Hot Red-Head, Named GAARA'S POV!

My head throbbed and my face was hot. As I sat on my bed, I rested my elbows on my legs, and my head in my hands.

Why did I do that? Ever since she came around, I'v been acting weird. I even felt horrible and even envious of Kankuro, when I thought they were together. And now, I almost kissed her...It's obvious. I like her. I never felt this way about anyone before, not that I thought anyone would feel that way back. I was a monster.

'Was', the word lingered in my head. It was just recently the Shukaku was extracted from me. Does that mean now I have a chance? Did she have the same feelings for me, that I do for her? She did lean in just like me. Or was that just a mistake? I'm not sure. Should I tell her my feelings? No! I'm sure I'll be rejected. She's to...perfect. She's always nice, and can make anyone friends with her. She's fun, beautiful, and doesn't judge others. She's so funny, outgoing, and just out there. To far out of my reach.

I got out of my position, and laid on my bed. I closed my eyes.

... Nothing.

Even now, it's hard for me to go to sleep.

I got back up, and went to my door, turning the knob. Might as well get through some of my paperwork.

The Wonderful Abby's POV!

"Duh, duh, duh!" I sang strumming my brush, jumping up and down on my bed. "La, la, la! Who's the coolest girl in Suna? Abby's the coolest girl in Suna! Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!"

"Abby!" I heard Kankuro shout on the other side of my door. I stopped jumping, strumming, and singing, and looked towards the door. "What do you want Mr. Kitty Ears?" I shouted

"Do you want ice cream?" He asked. He waited outside for an answer.

...

"ICE CREAM!" I banged the door open so suddenly and fast it hit Kankuro in the face. "ICE CREAM!" I screamed running through the house. I skidded to a stop when I finally got to the dining room. Temari and Gaara were already seated with there ice cream. I quickly sat down and awaited my ice cream eagerly.

"Someone likes ice cream." Temari chuckled

"Loves it!" I smiled

"That's good." She said, "You have Gaara to thank for that."

I quickly turned my head to Gaara. " Gaara! Your amazing!" I yelled excitedly, my arms open as if I was going to give someone a hug.

A small smile turned his lips, "Glad you like it. For some reason, I was in the mood for something sweet."

"Eh?" I mused, then turned to the ice cream that was seated in front of me."

"You little-" I heard a dark voice say behind me. I turned around Kankuro with a red face, even redder at his forehead and nose.

"HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!" I laughed to my hearts content. "Holy shit! You must a rare species! A red kitty!" I laughed

"I'm going to kill you!" I growled before chocking me.

"Ahhh! Itai, Itai!" I yelled through laughter.

"Now, now, you two. Settle down." Temari scolded

I looked over to Gaara, who was looking at us with a slight frown.

"Ok, ok." Kankuro said chuckled, then looked at me with a smile I returned

"So," I clapped my hands, getting the attention of my fellow ice cream eaters, "What are we going to do next?"

"What do you mean?" Temari asked confused

"I'm so bored! We need to get out and do something!" I whined

"Gomen, I need to go to Konoha, to help Shikamaru with the Chunin Exams." Temari apologized

"And I have alot of work to do on my puppets." Kankuro sighed and shrugged

I looked over to Gaara with pleading eyes and a pout.

"I'll take you." He said defeated, even somewhat eagerly.

"YAY!" I yelled excited

He smiled softly, almost teasingly. "Tomorrow." He started

"Aww." I pouted

"I have Kazekage duties to attend to." He rose from his chair. "Ja ne." He looked over his shoulder.

"Aa." I smiled

Temari winked at me, which made me blush. Kankuro looked back and forth between us confused. "I'm not even going to try to understand what's going on." He frowned, "See you two later." He waved and tousled my hair before leaving.

"Gotta go to. Have to get back to work at the Kazekage office." Temari smiled at me, apologetically, then smiled again. "Good luck with your date." She whispered into my ear before taking her leave.

"It's not a date!" I yelled at her, and could hear her giggle in the hallway.

I can't wait for tomorrow!
