Episode 18--> Two Moving In and Two Moving Out!

"Dang it!" I slurred, pissed for some reason Naomi couldn't explain, "How can there be.... a sunset and a big wave clapping behind... you guys... It's the middle of the morning... and... we're in a... stinking forest... *snore*" Naomi glanced out the window and up at the stars wondering what the hell I was babbling on about.

"(-_-) Nattie-boo... I think it's time to wake the hell up..." She mumbled in a drab tone while she watched me continue to mutter in my sleep. "Just stop doing weird, gay stuff in front of me! Stupid Lee and Guy-sensei... " I said loudly and just trailed back into sleep. (=__=) Honestly what is it that my cousin is be dreaming about... she thought then grabbed my shoulders to shake me awake. "Natal-" I slapped the hand that was shaking me awake-yeah, slapped; no swatting away, straight up slapped the hand- away. Naomi cradled her hand and startled she stepped back as I shot up in the bed, fist balled and eyes screwed shut.

"Why I outta...!"

Narrowing her eyes dangerously Naomi grabbed up a pillow, "No I outta!" She hissed before whacking me hard in the face with it, waking me out of my half-sleep stupor.

I groaned finally coming to a right state of consciousness. I pushed the pillow away and I rubbed my face. Naomi crossed her arms as I mumbled a small 'ow' under my breath. When my eye slid open it was greeted by moonlight. I rubbed the sleep from them and yawned.

"What happened...?" I inquired between another yawn and stretching my arms above my head.

"You said you were having a heart attack- had me so scare... And you passed out too. What an uproar you caused."

I scratched my head, "..."

"You weren't having a heart attack just for some reason unknown to me you got overexcited and fainted. Why...?"

"That's because he's the guy-"

"Wait, 'The guy'-" She was puzzled.

"Yes the guy! The guy! The anime guy I-"

"Oh! That guy!" She slapped her forehead. "Yeah, yeah, I knew his name had a familiar ring." She had plenty of time to chat up with the two new additions while I was out. She got a sly look, "So you're going to make a mov-"

"(=.=) No flipping way... Just keep it on the DL-"

"Na-ha-oh flipping way to that! You need to-(>_<)"

"Naomi please-"

"But-"

"Naomi-he-heeeee..." I whined miserably.

"(-L-) Fine..." She sighed. but it won't be long... She cackled mentally.

"Thanks." But then my big grin turned into a big O when something occurred to me. I gave Naomi a look of horror.

"No, as you can tell by the fact I didn't even know how he looked, I didn't already tell him that you-" I shook my head. No not that >_<

I thought about it for a second and relaxed slightly then completely.

"Ok what was that? You looked freaked and now..." She trailed off quirking a brow.

"I just thought they saw..." My eyes flickered around the room, suspicious of the shadows of the inanimate, and I lowered my voice, "I thought they might have recognized... you know..." "Don't worry so and so (code for Deidara and Sasori) disappeared when they saw say-so-and-so-so (code for Shikamaru and Gaara). At least I didn't see them afterwards, with you fainting and causing a scene, about heart attacks and whats nots," Naomi studied me, "no one noticed De- u-uh I mean so and so leaving."

"That's good..." I groaned and massaged my temple. "But then we aren't sure if uh, so and so will be recognizable to um... was it say-so and so-so?" I hated talking in code. -_-

"Like clearly whatever" She scoffed in a moronic, yet monotonous, voice. "Buy them a treaty or something." She is joking around and I'm serious here.

"I think it's a problem."

"They are cartoons what the hell can they do." She seemed smug. Oh the blissful fool.

"Anime; (-_O) and quite a lot actually. I can show you what some did to the garage door..."

"Garage you say... alright you have peaked my curiosity." She marched over to the bedroom door and pulled it open. She rolled her wrist as if saying 'well lead the way young one.' (=_-) She knew the way...

I got up and walked over to her. We exited the room and headed down the stairs.

"He's a cutie." She said and winked at me. "But now he's real so what you gonna do." I sighed and walked with a little more purpose. She pouted and caught up to me. "Okay miss prissy I'll drop it. But one last thing... I wasn't that far off with the name!" She argued with animated hand gestures.

"Yes Naomi, you kinda were." I taunted chuckling at the taller female. We were in the hall by then, passing the downstairs bathroom, one right turn, around the corner and there was the garage door.

"Whatever let me just see what they did to the gara-" She pushed open the door and I didn't get to follow her in as someone grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me behind a door and locked it.

"Who, what, where, why, huh, huh?" My head zipped around the room. I looked up and Sasori and Deidara were looking down at me. I trailed my eyes away from their faces and took in the room.

"Wow~ you lot really fixed this place up..." It was a quaintly decent sized room with wood paneling. There were several bunk beds. No window but a good ventilation system was set up in here. So this is what was in the secret room... It was actually pretty homey. Someone's got some mad decorating skills.

"We're moving out/out-un."

"Wait what? Why?!" Their seriousness only added to my confusion.

"It is too troublesome here." Sasori sighed deeply.

"Oh... Are you staying over at Naomi's then?" Why that little sneak!! How dear she?! Stealing my anime characters right from under my nose!

"No actually. For now we'll just stay in the place we found. That would be fewer problems for all-un."

"Will you guys visit?" (^~^)

"When we can." Sasori answered going around me.

"Good enough for me!" I chirped. (^w^)

"Well we just wanted to say our goodbyes." Deidara walked around me and headed after his partner.

"You are leaving right now?" (O~O)

"Yeah", Deidara twisted around, "you want to come?"

I thought about it. Hm... Meet the love of my life now or go with the Akatsuki and link up later? I felt a little nervous about it so I chose the 'later and go with Deidara' option. "I want to see you and Sasori's honeymoon suite anyhow..." I gripped onto Deidara's sleeve, like a child holding onto her mom's skirt in the mall so she won't get lost in the crowd, and he without question towed me into the hallway. The door fell shut and again you never would have guessed a door was there. Deidara stopped to exchange some words with Sasori. I blinked, looking between the two, not really hearing any of the words exchanged and for some reason feeling like a little kid in the midst of a 'big people' conversation. Approaching noise redirected my attention. I looked down the straight hall and I saw Shikamaru, the love of my life, Gaara and everyone else walking from the kitchen and into the living room lost in a lively conversation. The staircase was the in-between of two places and the hall where we were standing just beside the stairs. It must have been too dark because it's a surprise they hadn't spotted us. I couldn't help it, I got curious. I crept down the corridor keeping close to the wall. I was barely hidden by staircase just a step away from stepping out into the open. I listened to the intermingling voices and went to take that final step. Just a peek... I jumped a little and my heart quickened when Naomi suddenly whizzed by and went into the den with the others.

"Hey Natalya didn't come this way yet did-", I quickly scurry back into the dim lighting of the hall just in case she passes by again. Calming my breathing and with my hand over my heart I approached Deidara and tapped his shoulder.

Deidara was interrupted midsentence when someone tapped his shoulder. He and Sasori both turned to me.

"Can you hurry and get whatever you guys need; if you're planning to leave then we need not delay."

"We are ready, let us go." Sasori took the lead and Deidara took me by the elbow so I wouldn't fall behind.

"But aren't you going to carrying anything with you?" I asked as we snuck out the back door.

"Everything we need is right here-un." Deidara waved a scroll in my face before securing it. It felt weird walking in the dark to a personally unknown destination but I stuck close and kept quiet. After a short trudge we came across one of Deidara's creations, I think it was the same one from last time, hidden by foliage. Deidara leap on with a single bound and Sasori also got on and pulled me with him. It took us to our destination and to my astonishment it was a familiar place. It was a, can I say, cabin? It's where Leon and I -with parental supervision- came to play when we were younger. My daddy said it was there when he bought the land. After a day at the beach we would walk there, the whole family and eat lunch and play.

"How did you men find the place? Or better yet when?" I turned from my gazing only to see they weren't even on my run. How shameful it is to be ignored like that.

"Let's hurry and get this place set up." Sasori was impatient which was made obvious by the tune he sung. Deidara seemed cranky. He grumbled under his breath as he pulled the scroll from a pouch at his side. Jumping into the air he unrolls it and things, heavy things, began raining down towards the earth and more relevantly, me.

Sasori, arms crossed, kept his gaze upward. He seemed confident that he was not going to be crushed. Sadly I was not that confident. I pressed my body close to his-it was kind of awkward. I flinched as soft thuds sounded around us. I arched into him my inner danger radar compelling me to and the ground shook around us as a couch landed barely an inch away. Talk about being caught between a sofa and a hard chest.

"You seemed to be comfortable hm..." Deidara held a thin smile as he approached us.

I gave him a sarcastic smile, "Why yeah I was ya know." We went to work without me even bothering to crack a joke about how he was just jealous I got that close to his man. That didn't mean I couldn't keep it as an inner joke and giggle at it as I worked.

~~

;p Put your back into it!

~~

I hadn't noticed the sun leisurely rising over the horizon, being far too engrossed in my titivating work, and it was only until we were done that I glanced out the window to see daylight. I shrugged. Oh well it wasn't like I was in a hurry to get back. I took a seat of the sofa with the Akatsuki and lounged around for a while.

[A/N: hopefully there won't be a repeat of the 'Natalya got kidnapped' escapade]

"Ne, Deidara!" I probed in a hushed, excited tone, my face bright and eyes sparkling.

"Deidara....?" His eyebrow twitched and he dodged my gaze.

"Deidara~~~~" I whined.

"No-hm"

"PLEASEEEEEEZ~"

"Did I not do this already? Hmn, the first day we met... remember-hmn?"

"Yeah but that was a failed attempt!!"

"Like I care, hm."

"But I have an idea to make it work this time remember-"

"Spear me." He got up and started walking away.

Pouting, angry that he straight up refused to take me cloud chasing, I snapped to my feet, "Sasori, Deidara is being mean to Hiruko!!"

Sasori came into the room (he was in the backroom, which was the only other part of the little space beside the bathroom) looking pissed.

Deidara gave him a vacant stare, "Do you seriously believe the words coming from this girl's mouth, un? (=_V)"

Sasori glared before stumping off and back into the other room. I stifled a laugh. Deidara chuckled as if saying 'nice try dork!' and threw himself onto the sofa. It looked really comfortable but disgruntled I took a seat at the small table. Reaching my maximum limit on boredom I started poking the countertop with my index finger repeatedly. You know now that I think about I have no idea where they got the furniture; I've never seen any of these in my life. (O_O)

Someone came up behind me and tapped my shoulder. My face grim and lacking passion I tilted my head back and looked up at the face above me.

"If you're so bored, doodle." He slammed a piece of paper in front of me then withdrew his arm and propped himself against the counter. I fought the smile that was trying to bullying its way to my lips and brought the paper in close. Without looking away from the parcel I held up my hand. Deidara smirked and placed the pencil in my palm. Did I mention I loved drawing? It took me ten minutes but when it was complete I was thoroughly pleased.

"Okay I'm done. H-Hey-" How rude! Deidara took my drawing from me and gave it a once over.

"It's actually not bad." He gave it back and I smiled sweetly at the compliment.

"Thank you." I said meekly. "Do you want to keep it? Just promise not to damage it."

He nodded and took it back. He went into the back room and when he came out Sasori was behind him. I noticed Deidara didn't have it with him anymore but I didn't get to ask before he tells me, "I taped it to the wall. It's safe." He plopped down on the sofa.

"Well I hope it brightens up the room. I'm ready to go back now."

"Deidara take her back." Sasori ordered and Deidara got up without a single complaint.

"Hai, lover. Whatever you command." Sasori gave him a condescending glare. Deidara ignored the look, taking my arm and dragged me outside. Once we were positioned safely on the clay bird Deidara took us into the air. He had gone through the trouble of making a smaller scaled one so 'the wings won't go floppety-flop and blow the clouds away' like I suggested. Isn't he cool? As he rode us into a cloud, I let my hand go through it like knife through butter. It was a cool feeling.

"Well that's one impossible goal completed. Touch a cloud: check!" It was quiet for a while and Deidara suddenly got suspicious. Turning slightly he saw me huddled and looking over the edge. I was muttering to myself and it was starting to really freak Deidara out. "What are you-?" He reached out to me to get my attention but at the exact same moment I leaped off the bird.

"Eh..." Deidara blinked at the spot where I had been for ten seconds, unsure if that really just effin happened...

"Gotcha..." I muttered with my arms clasped around each other and tucked under my bosom. I blinked when I felt something zip past me. I looked around skittishly. I grunted with an ungraceful 'oomph'. Remaining bent over myself I raised my head and stared in the face of Deidara. Deidara grabbed both my shoulders, and with a stern expression he shook me, not roughly though. "What the hell were you thinking, jumping off like that? You could have killed yourself. Are you insane" His gently reprimanding tone made me purse my lips thinking: this coming from a boy who blew himself up?

"I knew you would catch me, or at least I just assumed you would and-" "Just answer me this, un. Why'd you do it in the first place?" Gingerly I open my arms a bit for him to see what I was holding as an answer.

"Isn't he cute~!" I pushed the seagull into Deidara's face. He and it blinked back at one another before I brought the seagull back into my bosom. "Another one of my impossible dreams is accomplished!" I gave him a 'nice guy' smile, thumps up and all. Deidara's facial mien was a confliction between being incredulous and being slightly pissed that I had jumped after a dumb@$$ bird. Deidara stared at it with a marginally raised eyebrow and I stared at it with a wide grin.

"Mine." It cawed.

"Awww, it's just like in Finding Nemo! P Sherman 42, Wallaby way, Sidney! Gasp! I'll call you Sidney!" The bird looked at me curiously. Deidara just stood off to the side, sweat-dropping at the interaction. "Now that I've named you, you are officially mine. But since I can't keep you I need a way to show my ownership... hmm..." I stared down at it with a contemplating look. "Aha... I know just the thing" I keep it in a headlock with my elbow and used my spare hand to reach up to my hair. I unloosed it from its ponytail and held the clay scrunchie Deidara had made me when we first met. I'd even painted my name on it.

"Here!" I slipped the trinket around the struggling seagull's neck. "Now if we ever meet again I'll know it's you!" I smiled down at the tropical bird, cradling it in my arms tightly and it looked back it me.

"...mine...."

"What's that Sidney?" I leaned in closer to hear what he was saying; it was trying to communicate with me!

"...mine.... mine, mine, mine, mine, mine~" It started flapping its wings and next thing I know the darn bird is flying away with me. How the hell that's humanly possible for a bird its size is beyond me. Holding on for dear life with my arms double knotted around its little feathery body I tried to search for a grip on the clay bird. My feet scrapped on the surface desperately but I was slipping. At the moment Deidara was too stunned to TRY to at least help by grabbing my feet. So soon I was floating away being carried off by a waterfowl (if seagull falls into that category).

"Deidaraaa~! Tasukete... (T~T)" I sniffled unable to do anything as the distance from Deidara and I grew increasingly wider; all the while the long haired idiot was safe and also breathless from his laughter.

...

My steps were heavy and my shoulders were tensed as I stomped past the trees ignoring Deidara. Yeah I demanded we walk the rest of the way.

"You deserved it. Don't be mad at me." He said with a smug smirk and he walked a few feet behind, his arms crossed over one another.

"I ain't mad!" I growled lowly while I stomped forward. To Deidara I looked like a mini grizzly bear.

"Ya sure-un?"

I stopped abruptly and groaned. Deidara stopped when I stopped, watching me in curiosity. It looked like I was about to strangle someone by the way my fingers were curling and uncurling.

I took a calming breath that I released on a sigh. "Like I said, I. Ain't. Mad." I continued onward, treading heavily and just as rigid as before.

Hiding his skepticism Deidara followed. There wasn't much talking after that.

He accompanied me all the way to the edge of the house and made ready to head back.

"Bye." He told me as I had my back to him.

"Yeah bye." I said curtly refusing to give him any more attention than that.

"Well, I'll see you... later?" He seemed uncertain and my annoyance dwindled. Deciding to play nice I spin around and gave him a quick hug pulling away as soon as possible. "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask or come by." I mumbled feeling embarrassed for some reason.

"Heh, right, see ya brat." I flinched as something wet and cold trailed up from the base of my chin to my left eyebrow.

"ARGH! Deidara that was so..." When I swung my hand around he was already gone but his laughter lingered like a shadow. Annoying blonde... (-_-)

I wiped my face and rubbed his saliva on my shorts. Giggling to myself on how stupid Deidara can be, I walked towards the house. I pulled open the back door and went inside to an empty house.

They're... not here anymore... Where could they have gone?

"Hey where did everybody go-oh-OH!! AH!" In the midst of walking outside via the front door I was suddenly brushed off my feet and found that I was now, face first, in a mattress of fur. I let out a happy cry of surprise as energetic Akamaru starts twirling as if he was chasing his tail. When he stopped, panting happily, I just couldn't stop laughing.

"You crazy doggy dog" Akamaru tipped over (creating a puff of dust) and rolled, switching our position so that he was on top of me following suit with covering me in a coat of slobber. "Ew, haha, gross, Akamaru." I pushed him away by the nozzle laughing all the while. Why is everybody licking me today? Is it the soap?

Akamaru jumped off of me and Kiba, Hinata and Shino came into view.

"Akamaru really likes you Natalya." Hinata pointed out gazing down at me with a friendly smile.

"What's your secret?" In his own way, Shino was teasing but it just sounded as if he suspicious of me again.

"Isn't it obvious?" Kiba began and I was already picking myself up and dusting myself off. It wasn't until after I stepped over to Hinata and pulled her into my chest in a surprise hug and looked Kiba up and down did I allow myself to ask, "isn't what obvious?"

He raised an eyebrow and placed his hand on his waist in a manly way. "That Akamaru likes you" he popped his eyes for effect, "because you spoil him and secretly slip him steak when no one is looking." He bobbed his eyebrows and the small group laughed but I was not amused.

"Well whatever," I managed to throw off my irritation with an offhanded reply, "Akamaru likes me for his reasons and it's like having my own dog again." That last bit caught Kiba's attention-not that I noticed to care- but when I untwined from Hinata and looked ahead he didn't bother. I saw Naomi on Choji's back in a piggyback style and instantly got (playfully) jealous.

"Hehe. Hey-a 'cuz! ^w^" she greeted convivially, "took you long enough... did you had to go poo? OwO" Is she really 21 or 12?

I rolled my eyes saying, "No! And that's my Teddy-bear!! Only I can get piggybacks from Cho-kun!! Remove thy self ye she-mold!" I started stalking over to them, waving my fists when a voice floored me.

"It appears..." I twisted my neck to my right-hand side and saw Shikamaru leaning against a tree just beside me. He looked at me with a lazy smile and said, "Someone is trying to steal my status as Choji's best friend..." His lazy drawl held a light humor that instantly turned me to goo.

"SHIKA!!" I exclaimed throwing my hands up then latched onto his waist. To think I was just about to pass by him without even noticing he was there!

He chuckled and I felt his stomach move with the notion, "You must be Natalya. Heard about ya. You really made my friends feel at home here." I nodded and rubbed my face into his abs.

"I guess this is expected from a fan-girl. Huh. How troublesome..." There wasn't much Shikamaru could have done at this awkward moment in time so with a blank face he just pats the top of my head. The things a random girl could get away with, with these guys. (>w<) It's unbelievable! A small smile came to my lips and a blush to my cheeks as I laid my forehead against him. ^///^ He's so warm. I could have died happy- except I still haven't met any of my Kpop loves!

When a shadow descended upon us I stiffened and my hands tightened around Shikamaru's waist. Finally prying my facial region away from the pineapple-haired Nara's abdominal region I look up and was greeted by a pleasant sight. Gradually I pulled away from Shika and gazed up at Gaara as if he was an ominous, towering... funhouse! LOL, my eyes sparkled seeing the young Kazekage. Dredo! I have royal prestige staying at my house now! I mean I already knew that but wow it just like hit me. I did this weird spin thing using a heel of one of my feet and pivoted to face him properly. I smiled at him with my hands behind my back all innocent like.

"It is nice to meet you," he said genially.

"Yo, wassup, panda eyes? (^-^)/"

His forehead creased as he said, "Panda eyes?" Before he could take offense my eyes softened and I gave him a proper greeting: a chaste kiss on the cheek and a hug. Gaara was only a few inches or so taller than me so I rested my head on his shoulder lingering in the one-sided hug (he's pretty much standing there unresponsive)-but only for like a second more than a normal hug- then pulled away.

"Welcome to the island, Kazekage-sama~" I told him with a wink. He nodded and my attention was averted itself from him. I glanced around at everyone and noticed there was a gap that should be filled with loudness and orange...

I placed my hand over my forehead like you do when blocking the sun or trying to see further.

"Now where is my wonderful friend Naruto?" I circled around everyone hoping to find him hiding. I took off Gaara's Kazekage hat and looked in it before placing it back on his head. "Where is that oaf?" Sighing I placed my hand on my waistline in exasperation not noticing something slithering my way from behind....

"Now... who were you calling an oaf?"

"Put me down! Put me down!" I begged hugging the trunk.

"Jeez we're not even that high up, see look." I paled looking down while everyone waved at us, gathering below the tree. Did I mention Naruto snatched me up from behind and leaped up into a tree?

Naruto mused and pinched an imaginary beard watching me grope the tree. "You know I'm starting to think you have a fear of heights Na-chan."

If that'll get you to put me down quicker then I'm afraid of heights! Terrified even! T-T Not really but I am starting to dislike their ninja advantage. I took a deep breath, honestly it wasn't that high... I inched down until I was sitting (somewhat) comfortably next to Naruto.

"But why'd you do it Naruto-baka!" I swatted him in the back, not hard enough to make him fall because God knows we don't want that. Then when I was retrieving my arm he gripped it. I looked at him in question and he in turn gave me a foxy smile. While blinking at him profoundly I noticed a trend... he was slowly slipping backwards, which means he was also going to pull me with him. By the time I fully processed that information my butt cheeks were already off their sitting branch. I heard a female gasp, "O my god-", (Naomi), at the same moment truly panicking by the sound of it.

"Naruto-!" I threw myself into his side for safety. Soon we were completely off our post.

"No worries just hold on tight- don't need you dropping out of my arms- it's not that bad!" My eyelids parted, my eyes focused on his face, and my cheeks warmed a little. (^///^) Naruto is a regular cutie ya know. Fan-girl freak-out, boogie down now, YOW! But on the other hand he's also a big idiot. Two (2) scares people; (-_-)_y twice he has scared the dodo out of me and into my shorts. TWICE! (-_O) Twice-ssssss...

"Wow everything looks dred from upside down." I let go my hold of Naruto and my arms fell above my head; I began waving them around saying, "Whoo... whoo-hoo-hoo... yeah... whoo..."

"Na-chan, you know if I wasn't holding your waist you would have fallen..."

"Yeah I realized that after letting go. j-(v^v)-j The blood is rushing to my head can we get down now- not that this isn't cool and everything."

"Alright then...hold on." He chuckled when I suctioned onto him like a crazy calamari the second 'hold on' came from his lips. And so began our short descent towards the ground. Being carried horizontally at a 90 degree angle down a tree trunk by a ninja was surely a memorable experience for me.

Exactly as Naruto's feet touched the ground and before he even lets me go properly, Naomi grabbed him by the collar and shook him like a rag doll. "Only just hours ago the girl fainted and now you're trying to kill her!? Are you a moron?!" Wow, Naomi is having a Sakura moment... surprising; but I guess Naruto just brings that out in some people. Naruto was defending himself but Naomi wasn't hearing any of that and just ignored him and shook him some more. "You're such a- such a" She was fighting her tongue in the war against cursing, but she, with nothing better to say, finishes by saying, "-such a household tool!" Hm. Household? I think I will start using that. While Naomi was waving her angry fist at the impulsive Uzumaki and pelting him with a piece of her mind, I had caught onto an innuendo of 'household tool'.

"OOOOOOOO! She just called him gay!" Eyes wide, I pointed at Naruto. He and Naomi looked at me like WTF/WTH, I said no such thing. "When she said household she meant asshole and then she said tool! Asshole tool! Tell me I'm not the only one who caught on to th...at?" I would have sweat-dropped at the stares... if I could have...

"You're a closest perv." Those were Kiba's candid words everybody. [A/N: This is kind of an inside joke for me. I often called Kiba a closet perv in one of my old stories...@_@] Despite the, just barely noticeable, blush I tucked my arms under my chest and shrugged. Naomi was red and she scratched her cheeks, "You know I didn't mean that when I said it right? Ah, hell who cares, right, ha-ha-ha-hah-er..." She threw in a laugh and stopped at that. She gave me a twitchy-eyed glare annoyed with me for perverting her words.

I stuck my tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes.

"So where did you go, and by the way uncle and auntie are going to kill you when they see that hole..."

"I was helping so and so move into their new place," I then scratched the back of my head, sheepish about the last part.

"Move?"

"I'll explain later. Right now I'm tired." I stretched and heard my bones pop. Not a pleasant noise. "But uh Nay-nay... don't you have work today...?" I wasn't sure if she had the day off or something but today was definitely a normal working day for her. Naomi silently stared at me. Slowly she brought her wrist to her face and the blinking numbers seemed to be scolding her. You are late, you are late, Mr. Saunders is going to fire you, is what it said. She paled and her eyes slid down and took in her sweatpants and cute panda tank top.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naomi screamed to the heavens and gripped her head. "Here I am entertaining a bunch of cartoon kids when I'm supposed to be at my job!! I'm so fired!" As Naomi runs around in panic like a spring chicken and everyone is laughing, I'm in my own little world, thinking about that hug. I seemed normal but inside my heart was pattering like mad; just being close to him like that made it speed up. I nearly jumped out of my skin when he appeared out of nowhere like that.

I paused at the stairs, looked out the window and saw him standing there bored but ever slightly amused by my frenetic cousin. Somehow he sensed my eyes on him because he turned and looked past the window and straight at me. Caught off guard I forced a smile and waved. He smirked amused and waved back. When he turned back around I let out a winded noise. I guess that is the bitter-sweet part about being a fan-girl: they may never take your feelings seriously and you don't know whether you should either...

I slipped away, away from all the commotion, away from the unexpected guests and my cousin Naomi and back to my bedroom. I think I need a nap (=_=)

THAT MOMENT...

*That moment when you realized you've been sitting on the toilet for nearly an hour just because you took the laptop with you and had gotten a sudden wave of inspiration while on the can.

*That moment when you heard someone call your name and then realize you're the only one home...

*That moment of panic when you're walking with a plate of food and the wind plays with it and you think it's about to fall.

*That moment after your cat bit you and you cuss it out saying 'Do I look like an effin piece of tuna!'

*That moment when you write a story about ninjas while playing Ninja Tuna in the background.

MAY BABIES! (^0^)/

Even though the time set is different in the story, I still feel like I should.
