Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, unfortunately, no matter how much I wish I did. All credit on the characters goes to Masashi Kishimoto.

Author's Note: This chapter should be quite interesting, and I'm quite curious on how much you all like it. It's an AIM conversation, my first one to be exact, and I'm hoping I did it well. Don't forget to leave a review! Oh, another thing…Sasuke will be extremely OOC. Hehe, one more thing…please excuse the horrible grammar in the following conversations, they're meant to be like that.

Special Thanks: In order for me to get a realistic AIM conversation, I had to use real people. My friends of course. I'd like to thank my friend Erin. She played the role of Shikamaru, and plays him very well. She joins in many of my role-plays and practices as him there, so of course I chose her. She was the best choice for the lazy, unmotivated ninja. The next person I'd like to thank is my friend Elizabeth. She has no experience in role-playing, and is a blossoming fan of Naruto. Her hyper and bubbly personality easily earned her the role of Naruto. Her liking a guy who hardly likes her back also earned her that spot as well as earning her crush the spot of Sakura. My last, but certainly not least thanks goes to my friend Lynley who is a great writer by the way (you should go read her stories…DemonicxTears). She, being almost my only emo friend, took up the spot of Sasuke. Don't be alarmed if Sasuke seems a bit too hyper or emoish at times, that's all going according to plan. Sasuke, who hardly adds any humor at all to situations, will make my story quite funny at times thanks to Lynley's great ideas, and our acting in homeroom. Yes, and one more thing I'd like to thank Lynley for. She also briefly played the part of Sakura in this, and gave me couple of ideas for her as well. Hmm, well, I think that's all. Please enjoy this chapter.

"Dad! I'm finished reading! I'm going to get on the computer now!" Kankuro called down from the balcony outside of his room.

"Alright, but be off by nine!" Was his father's response.

Kankuro let out a silent 'yes' and ran into his room, closing the door behind him. He pulled out the chair of the black and purple desk and sat down, the old wood making a slight creaking noise as he did so. He signed on to AIM and checked his buddy list. Shikamaru and Naruto are on; I'll start a chat. He rolled the mouse over the Chat button, clicked it, and sent the invitation. Suddenly, his black laptop let out a high pitched whistling noise, nearly making Kankuro jump out of his seat. His dark green eyes scanned the screen, spotting the chat invitation sent from Naruto. He sighed and accepted it, joining the chat.

You are now in chat room "chat12255902310191260594."

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Naruto, I had just made a perfectly good chat

Deer in the Clouds: Ok, now that we're all here, what's the news, Naruto?

.foxboi.: i asked Sakura

.foxboi.: and she said yes

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I think you should ask someone, Shikamaru

Deer in the Clouds: That's it? I went through an Im box and a chatroom just to hear that?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Heh

.foxboi.: well, he's gonna ask the cheeleader

Deer in the Clouds: and I don't think so Kankuro

T3HPupp3tMast3r: So what if Kairi's a cheerleader

.foxboi.: she's a FREAK OF NATURE

Deer in the Clouds: So are you :

T3HPupp3tMast3r: No she's not!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Heh, good one

.foxboi.:

Deer in the Clouds: Yet we hang out with you..

.foxboi.: u have a..a…funny name

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, look around. What other friends do we have?

Deer in the Clouds: Oooh, that hurt Naruto

Deer in the Clouds: I'm gonna go cry my eyes out now

.foxboi.: skikamaru: you are we tad ded, sofa king we tad ded

.foxboi.: OOOOOOOOOOO

.foxboi.: shikamaru

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Aw, look what you did, Naruto

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Hey! That's Zaku's phrase!

.foxboi.: actually…kai's

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh…

.foxboi.: aww…i'm sorry shikamaru!!!!!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: He's ignoring us now…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: It's all your fault!

Deer in the Clouds: Ok, I'm done crying now..

.foxboi.: its the cheeleader

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Cheeleader?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You keep leaving out the 'R'

.foxboi.: yep! its discraceful

Deer in the Clouds: Heh, and I thought she was a cheerleader

Deer in the Clouds: Guess I was wrong..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She is!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Head cheerleader to be exact

.foxboi.: she's a cheeseleader

T3HPupp3tMast3r: --

Deer in the Clouds: True, I'm never wrong.. -stands in a heroic stance- I'm a genius!

.foxboi.: legs….o the pain

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Stop bragging…

.foxboi.: cant move

T3HPupp3tMast3r: That's what you get for joining that stupid cross-country team…

Deer in the Clouds: Stop complaining, it's your own fault

.foxboi.: well… at least i have athletic ability now

T3HPupp3tMast3r: And we don't?

Deer in the Clouds: Yeah

.foxboi.: more athletics ability

.foxboi.: KANKURO LIKES A CHEERLEADER

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Geez…random. And so what? What's wrong with that?

.foxboi.: she's dumb

T3HPupp3tMast3r: No she's not.

.foxboi.: and blonde

T3HPupp3tMast3r: So? What's wrong with her being blonde?

.foxboi.: wait…i'm blonde

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You just dissed yourself. Nice goin

T3HPupp3tMast3r: going

Deer in the Clouds: You like a girl who didn't even make cheerleading, so I wouldn't be talking, Naruto

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Thank you

.foxboi.: so?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I like a cheerleader, and you like a cheerleading reject

.foxboi.: at least she's not..o whats the word, anorexic

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She's not! Those are just rumors!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well…I hope they're just rumors…

.foxboi.: i've talked to sakura about it, and her locker is right next to hers in the locker room, and she says she's literally skin and bones

T3HPupp3tMast3r: That's a terrible disease, and whoever spread that just because she's skinny must be pretty jealous of her

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, that could just be Sakura's jealously getting the best of her

.foxboi.:

T3HPupp3tMast3r: What? Got nothing to say to that?

.foxboi.: i still believe sakura

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, I don't…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I'm going to ask Kairi to the dance tomorrow. I haven't decided when yet…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I'll wait for the perfect time so I don't freeze up and look like an idiot.

.foxboi.: o, so you're saying i did?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: No…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I just don't want to look like an idiot

Deer in the Clouds: I think he did

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Yeah, I bet he did

.foxboi.: how would you kno? You've never asked anyone out before

T3HPupp3tMast3r:

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, you don't have the greatest experience either

.foxboi.: or so u think

T3HPupp3tMast3r: What?

.foxboi.: i..uh..asked your sister out one time…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …ugh, you asked Temari?

.foxboi.: ya

T3HPupp3tMast3r: AND DIDN'T TELL ME!?

.foxboi.: we went out for a month

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …I don't believe you…

.foxboi.: ask her

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She wouldn't go out with you…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Fine, I will.

Deer in the Clouds: Yeah, or everytime you've asked someone out you got rejected, like your reject cheerleader girlfriend?

Kankuro scooted back from his desk and went to the door of his room, opening it and sticking his head out. "Temari!" He called, "Did you happen to date Naruto at one point?"

Silence.

"Temari!"

"Yeah, I heard you." Temari replied.

"So, did you?"

There was another small moment of silence, and Temari finally answered. "Yeah, for about a week. Why?"

"No reason." Kankuro went back into his room and closed the door behind him.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …you were telling the truth the whole time, I guess…

.foxboi.: told u

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She didn't say a month though. More like one week

.foxboi.: i also asked my friend hinatu out, but it was to weird

Deer in the Clouds: Hinatu?

Deer in the Clouds: Making up dates now are we?

.foxboi.: hinata

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Heh, really?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She seems way into you

.foxboi.: she's one of sakura's good friends, i hope she's not jealous

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She may not be. She probably has gotten over you

.foxboi.: good

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Lately, I haven't been able to get Kairi off my mind. Did I tell you what happened in French?

.foxboi.: ya, the girl sitting next to you did

Deer in the Clouds: Told me too

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Okay, I guess I'm just being redundant

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Shikamaru, you're the only one who won't have a date at the dance. It's the most important dance of the year! You don't want to go dateless! How about Ino?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: She's a cheerleader.

Deer in the Clouds: -.- You're kidding right?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: No, why?

.foxboi.: eno likes u

T3HPupp3tMast3r: What's wrong with her? I would ask her out in a hearbeat

.foxboi.: ino

T3HPupp3tMast3r: If I wasn't asking Kairi

Deer in the Clouds: Dating is stressful, you have to worry about them, dance with them, and so on

.foxboi.: heh, i'm on addicting games

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You don't want to dance with someone? ignores Naruto's random comment

Deer in the Clouds: I'd rather be dateless

Deer in the Clouds: No

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Then why are you going?

Deer in the Clouds: For sheer entertainment by watching fools dance horribly bad

.foxboi.: ……………..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, I guess it's always fun to be with friends. Besides, I'll come and talk to you when Kairi and I take a break

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Heh, nice (late)

Deer in the Clouds: and yeah, I guess to be with friends as well

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Yes, friends are good

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Although a couple of hot girls are good as well.

Deer in the Clouds: Yeah, hmm, I wonder if Choji's going with somebody..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Doubt it…

.foxboi.: lol

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You know, he's not that attractive…If that's any offense to you, Shikamaru.

Deer in the Clouds: Just so you know Kankuro, I'm giving you a really mean look right now..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh, so scary

Deer in the Clouds: Yes

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, who would want to go out with a guy constantly stuffing his face?

Deer in the Clouds: You're peeing in your pants as we speak I can see it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: --

T3HPupp3tMast3r: He'll eat the whole concession stand. Is he going?

Deer in the Clouds: Who would want to go out with a guy who plays with dolls?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: They're not dolls!

Deer in the Clouds: Yes he's going

Deer in the Clouds: Dolls on strings..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …no

Deer in the Clouds: Yes they are, and you know it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Hey, Sasuke just signed on

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I'm going to invite him to the chat. Hold on

Deer in the Clouds: I have to go eat anyway. I'll be back later.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Okay, bye Shikamaru

.foxboi.: i have to go now too

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Why?

Deer in the Clouds has entered the chat room.

Deer in the Clouds: Looks like I missed Sasuke

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Yep

Deer in the Clouds: Naruto isn't here either

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Yeah, now that he's gone, what do you want to talk about now?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: We can't poke fun at him anymore

Deer in the Clouds: I don't know, you can choose the topic

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Hmm…pie!

Deer in the Clouds: -.-

Deer in the Clouds: and you say all Choji can think about is food, look at you!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: What? It's good stuff!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Choji eats 24/7, I just think about food

Deer in the Clouds: Never have been that big of a fan of it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Really?

Deer in the Clouds: Nope

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Mmm, it's so good. Especially the lemon kind.

Deer in the Clouds: Bleh

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Aw, it's good!

Deer in the Clouds: Not to me

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You just don't eat anything, do you?

Deer in the Clouds: I'm pretty picky

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I've noticed…

Deer in the Clouds: Your obviously not..

T3HPupp3tMast3r:

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Obvious?

Deer in the Clouds: Yes

Deer in the Clouds: Why the ?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …how so? I just eat what they give me if it looks appetizing.

Deer in the Clouds: You know, in comparison, you couldn't weigh more than five pounds less to Choji, so if I were you, I wouldn't be talking about him that way..

T3HPupp3tMast3r:

T3HPupp3tMast3r:

T3HPupp3tMast3r: ………

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I highly doubt that

Deer in the Clouds: You know it's probably true

T3HPupp3tMast3r: doesn't think it's true

Deer in the Clouds: Whether you believe it or not, it most likely is.. and you know it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: ….

Deer in the Clouds: Though you'll never admit it

T3HPupp3tMast3r:

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I don't now how to respond to that…

Deer in the Clouds: You don't now?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: know

Deer in the Clouds: That's what I thought you meant..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You love catching people on that, don't you?

Deer in the Clouds: Yep :

T3HPupp3tMast3r: --

.foxboi.: wow, i have a little snapple cap over my lips, and if u rub it, u can feel the coldness

.foxboi. has left the chat room.

Deer in the Clouds: Hey look, Naruto decided to show up after all, and then leave -.-

T3HPupp3tMast3r: That idiot…

Deer in the Clouds: Yep

T3HPupp3tMast3r: He'll probably sign back on in a minute

Deer in the Clouds: Hope not

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You dislike him, yet you're friends with him anyway

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Some friendship…

Deer in the Clouds: Heh, yep, story of my life

T3HPupp3tMast3r: You don't like me?

Deer in the Clouds: I didn't say that, I was referring to a friend of mine who I thought was my friend, but really probably wasn't

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Who?

Deer in the Clouds: Uhh, nobody, it's not important

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …I think something's up. Who is it?

Deer in the Clouds: You don't know them and will never probably meet them so just drop it..

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Fine…I'll figure it out eventually

.foxboi. has entered the chat room.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Naruto!

.foxboi.: kankaru

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …misspelled name…I feel loved…

Deer in the Clouds: …spelling…

.foxboi.: …w/e

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Still because of the running you did?

.foxboi.: no, i was at the movies with some of the xc members for a party

.foxboi.: yay

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I want candy…be right back…

Deer in the Clouds: Kankuro: No, I'm not a pig –runs off to get candy- -.-

T3HPupp3tMast3r: …Thanks, Shikamaru --

Deer in the Clouds: No problem

T3HPupp3tMast3r: So, how was the party, Naruto? Spoke with Sakura, I'm sure

.foxboi.: we saw happy feet

.foxboi.: it was fun, some of the guys and i were outside after the movie, attacking eachother with candy. good thing coach wasn't there

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Attacking each other with candy? Why would you waste it like that?

.foxboi.: well, they were the kind of candy that is good to pelt people with, like chocolate covered peanuts

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh, yeah, they hurt

.foxboi.: starbursts are good to if you lick them first

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Lick them?

Deer in the Clouds: Kankuro: Yes, why waste it in such a horrible manner? When you can stuff your face with it like I do :

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Shut up, Shikamaru!

.foxboi.: well, yea, i mean, it'll stick to them if you get it moist enough.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh, that's a bit gross…

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Got any stuck to you?

.foxboi.: well, we bought one of every candy they had there. yea… it was fun

.foxboi.: yea, just one. on the back of my neck.

.foxboi.: it hurts bad, man

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Must have been a lot of money. You did eat some of it though, right?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Ouch

.foxboi.: yea, and not a bit of it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh

Deer in the Clouds: Kankuro: Why would you spend so much money on candy when you're not going to eat it? I'd give my life savings to eat all the candy at the movie theater

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Shut up, Shikamaru! I mean it! I'll end you!

Deer in the Clouds: :

.foxboi.: lol

.foxboi.: yea

.foxboi.: is that wrong?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: No…just a waste of money

.foxboi.: mhm

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Why should I care anyway? It's your money to waste or save.

.foxboi: well, i still have about 50 dollars left, yes!

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Oh. Gonna spend that on more pelting candy?

.foxboi.: nah, the team is running to the bowling ally before the dance tomorrow,

a little pre-party party for us

Deer in the Clouds: Hmm, that's where I'll be for an after party, after the dance

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Aw, and I'm nowhere…

Deer in the Clouds: Yep

.foxboi.: have fun, than after the dance, everyone's going to the lodge

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I'll be at home

Deer in the Clouds: Not everyone

Deer in the Clouds: apparently

T3HPupp3tMast3r: -- yes, since I have no idea what parties either of you are talking about

.foxboi.: hmm…the football, xc, indoor/outdoor track and field, cheerleaders, wrestling cheerleaders, basketball, dance team… well, u get it

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Cheerleaders?

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I should've joined a team…

.foxboi.: well, u had ur chance

.foxboi.: chances

Deer in the Clouds: Well, my party consists of me and like one or two others

Deer in the Clouds: Just bowling

T3HPupp3tMast3r: I wanted to do football, but my dad wanted me to do wrestling. I didn't want to do that, so I refused to do any sports.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Well, I have to go now.

T3HPupp3tMast3r: Talk to you both tomorrow

T3HPupp3tMast3r has left the chat room.

Kankuro closed his black laptop, checking the time on the digital clock at the top-right corner of the screen first. It read 9:10 pm. Kankuro let out a small sigh, hoping his father wasn't watching the clock. Suddenly, the phone began ringing, breaking the eerie silence in his room. He picked up the receiver and quickly held it to his ear, not bothering to check the caller ID first. "Hello." He answered.

Silence…

"Hello?" He repeated.

There was another small pause and the quiet voice of a timid sounding girl spoke. "Um…hello."

Kankuro felt slightly confused. Who was this girl? "Uh, yeah, hi. Who's this?" He asked.

"Aiko." The voice on the other line answered, "May I speak to Gaara?"

Kankuro let out an annoyed sigh. Gaara's got girls calling the house. Why not me? He asked himself. "Uh, well…hold on just a second." He replied. He set the phone down carefully and then peeked his head out the door, getting ready to shout his brother's name, but stopped. A devious smile flashed across his face and he slowly closed the door. He stifled his laughter as he picked up the receiver again, thinking of his brilliant plan. "Aiko?" He started, "Gaara seems a bit pissed and wants to know what you want."

There was silence on the other end.

Kankuro let out another annoyed sigh before repeating his question. "What do you want?" He asked.

Still silence.

"Hello?" Kankuro asked, wondering if Aiko was still on the phone.

No answer.

Kankuro rolled his eyes and hung up the phone, only to be stopped by another phone call. The caller ID read Nara. Kankuro quickly answered it. "Hey, Shikamaru." He greeted.

"Hey." Shikamaru said in greeting on the other end.

"What'd you call for?" Kankuro asked.

"I was bored." Was Shikamaru's simple response.

Kankuro laughed slightly. "Of course." The phone beeped and he quickly checked who was calling. "Hold on just a second, Shikamaru. I have another call."

"Okay"

Kankuro pressed a button on the phone, switching to the other line. "Hello?" He answered.

Silence.

"Geez…would you stop calling if you're not going to speak?" Kankuro asked, outraged.

"Um…can I speak to Gaara?" The voice on the other end asked.

"Fine…hold on." Kankuro set the phone down and left his room, walking to his brother's. "Gaara?" He called, knocking on the white oak door of his brother's room.

"What is it?" Came Gaara's cold reply.

"There's some girl on the phone who wants to talk to you."

Silence.

Kankuro pressed his ear against the cold wood, and listened. All he heard was the whirring of the heating and cooling system. He sighed and backed away. "I'll put the phone on hold for you." He said, breaking the silence.

There was still no response, so Kankuro returned to his room. He held the receiver up to his ear. "Aiko?" He asked, wondering if she was still on the line.

"…Yes?" Was the girl's quiet reply.

"Okay, I'm going to put you on hold." Kankuro pressed a button on the phone, and then set it down on its charger. He heard a small click, signaling someone had picked up the phone. He sighed and slumped down in a larger armchair, turning on his music. It wasn't long before the phone rang again, Kankuro quickly answering it. "Hello?"

"What happened? Why'd you hang up?" The voice on the other line asked.

"Sorry, Shikamaru. I didn't mean to. My brother was talking to his---Hold on, I have another call." Kankuro pressed another button on the phone, switching it to the other line. "Hello?"

There was no response.

Kankuro let out a long, annoyed sigh, and switched back to Shikamaru. "Shikamaru?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"Sorry, I think that was my brother's girlfriend."

"You think?"

"Yeah, every time I answer the phone, it's silence, so I just hung up."

"Oh, that's good." Shikamaru replied sarcastically, "What if Gaara gets mad?"

"It doesn't really matter. I have my priorities too. Anyway, I've got to go. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye." Kankuro clicked the phone off and checked the time. It was 10 o'clock---time for him to go to bed. He sighed and lied down on his bed, thinking about how he'd ask Kairi to the dance the next day.
