Differences

"Hurry up!"

Shikamaru sighed. "Damn it woman, slow down."

Temari looked at him. "If I slow down, we'll all be late."

Tenten tried to settle them down. "Maybe we should hurry up just a little."

Though we shouldn't worry too much at the same time. We're not in too much of a rush," Neji added.

Tenten nodded in agreement.

"That'd be way too troublesome," Shikamaru replied. "Let's just keep this pace, we'll make it in time.

"Only just," Neji said. "We should just hurry up a little, give the girls some peace."

Exactly! Let's move it," Temari said, running off.

"Slow down Temari!" Tenten shouted.

"The fan wielder sighed. "We'll miss the fireworks at this rate."

Shikamaru yawned. "Oh well, we can still see most of them from here. It isn't as loud either."

"What, you don't want to see them?"

"I'd rather be sleeping than running at this time of the night."

"And I'd rather be walking around then cloud watching like you."

"You're too troublesome."

"You're too lazy."

"Enough!" Tented said, stopping the two.

"We have a solution," Neji said, pointing to a building rooftop.


The four of them watched the fireworks far enough that it wasn't so loud, yet high enough to have a good view of it all.

"Honestly," Neji began, "I don't know how they can be together if all they ever do is argue."

Tenten giggled. "Because the would be too bored if they didn't."

She looked back at the flashing lights.

"Their differences make them so close. They are the definition of opposites attract."

"Neji smiled. "I guess so. It makes their agreements seem much more valuable too."

They turned their gazes to the couple in front of them.

"Like enjoying fireworks."


"Just so you know, I'd still rather be closer to the fireworks," Temari said, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Shikamaru chuckled.

"And just so you know," he began.

"I'd still rather be asleep."

End.
