Down To Reality
(The Sequel to SasuSaku High.)
"Mom! When are we leaving?" A certain raven hair boy yelled.
"In a half an hour honey! We still have got awhile!" A woman with blond hair and a few pink streaks replied.
"Sakura, Adrian, I'm leaving for work." A man with onyx eyes and jet black hair replied. This was the Uchiha family. It had been 6 years since Adrian had been born. Sakura was now 25, and Sasuke was 26. Then their son was 6. He was off to his 1st day of kindergarten. As you can see, Adrian is eager to go.
"By honey." Sakura said and pecked Sasuke on the cheek.
"By Daddy!" Adrian shouted and hugged Sasuke's leg.
"See you guys at dinner." And before you knew it, Sasuke was out the door.
"Mommy, when can we leave?" Adrian asked again.
"In 5 minutes." Sakura replied.
"Why? I wanna go now!" Adrian ranted.
"Okay fine! But you'll be early." Sakura finally agreed. She gave Adrian his coat and back pack and they walked out the door.
"Mommy, will girls be there?" Adrian asked while Sakura buckled him in to his car seat. Sakura laughed.
"Yes Adrian. You're gonna meet a lot more than you'll want to." Sakura responded with a sweet smile.
"They sound annoying." The 6 year old commented.
"You sound like your father." Sakura said and closed Adrian's door. She walked over to the driver's side and hoped in.
"And Mom, do all girls look like you?" He asked. Sakura laughed again.
"No honey. They all look different. Now why do you ask?" Sakura asked her son.
"Because you're pretty." Adrian easily replied. Sakura smiled warmly at him.
"At least you got your charm from me." She muttered while starting the car. And then they were off.
"This place is huge!" Adrian yelled with excitement.
"So do you think you'll be okay without me?" Sakura asked. "You're not to grown up are you?" Adrian hugged her.
"I don't know if I can, but I'll survive." He said cutely. Sakura hugged her son back.
"If you need me, you know my cell. And I'll be at the agency if you can't reach me." Adrian nodded in reply and hugged his mother again.
"Bye Mommy!" He yelled at her as she walked off.
"Bye! I'll pick you up at 3!" Sakura waved. Adrian waved back then walked into his school. As soon as he entered his class, whispers filled the room. All the girls looked at him with hearts in their eyes.
"I guess this is what Dad calls fan girls." Adrian muttered under his breath.
Sakura stepped out of her car and stared at the building before her. It read, 'Victoria Secret Modeling Agency.' This was Sakura's "office." She walked over to the building and pushed open the cold metal door. Immediately a girl ran up to her.
"Sakura! Do you need anything? A Late? A Frapaccino? A Vanilla Coconut Vente Late? A monkey?" It was her assistant Tina.
"No Tina. I'm okay right now but thanks." Sakura said walking off. Tina had blond long curly hair and wore black framed glasses and had a black dress coat on with black slacks. Professional right? Yeah, well I guess you could say that she was a little bit of an over achiever.
Sakura headed her way to the dressing rooms. One which had her name on the door. She walked in and saw a closet full of clothes.
"Hey Tina, what are these?" Sakura asked her assistant.
"Those are your clothes for the Christmas annual fashion show." Tina replied quickly. She drank to much coffee.
"Really? We got them in already?" She asked. Tine nodded. Sakura ran over to the closet and was in search of one particular out fit. "Do you know who got the out fit?" Sakura questioned. Tina shook her head. Sakura continued looking through her wardrobe. A smile crept upon her face. "I got it!" She screamed as she pulled out a shining dress. It was sparkling and was covered in diamonds. It was the only dress in the world made of all diamonds. It was worth about as much as Sakura's house. It was considered an honor to be able to wear it. Sakura ran out the door towards her boss' office. She opened the wooden door and tightly hugged the woman who was sitting at the desk inside.
"Martha! OMG Thank YOU!" Sakura screamed hugging the lady.
"Your welcome. But I can't breath." Martha croaked out. Sakura released.
"Sorry! But thank you so much! Why'd you choose me?" She asked and cocked her head.
"Because, you're as big as Heidi Klum was, and she wore and earlier version of that dress 7 years ago. I thought you deserved it." She replied. Sakura smiled.
"So when do we start run way practice?" Sakura asked.
"After lunch. Go try on all the out fits and make sure they fit." Martha instructed. Sakura headed back to her room and did as she was told.
Sakura had eventually finished trying the clothes on. It was now lunch time. She put on a black dress coat and her 'Paris Hilton' sun glasses and drove to Subway. When she was in the car, she called Sasuke.
"Hello?" A husky
voice answered.
"Sasuke! I got it!" Sakura cried.
"What? Got what?!" Sasuke was nervous.
"The all diamond dress for the fashion show! I got it!" Sakura screamed.
"Oh that's great!" Sasuke replied trying to sound enthusiastic.
"You're mean. If you were me you'd be screaming too." She wined."
"Okay what ever. Sakura honey I've gotta go, I'm in a meeting." He exclaimed.
"Oh okay, bye!"
"Bye." Sakura hung up the phone and walked into Subway. At that moment she felt like all eyes were on her. Sakura felt her face. She had taken her sun glasses off.
"Oh my god it's Sakura Uchiha!" One girl screamed. A whole heard of people started chasing after her.
"Shit." She muttered under a sigh then ran. It seemed within only 5 minutes the paparazzi had already gotten there. She ran to her car. Pictures were being taken, people were screaming, it was chaos. Sakura started her car and drove away from the mob.
"God! I can't even get lunch without being attacked!" She said to herself out loud. Sakura drove back to her office with no food.
"So you see here, our stock market went down by 30 when we increased our product prices. My theory states, that if we decrease our prices back to normal, our stock will go back up." Sasuke explained. He was pointing to a board with the stock markets on a scale. And then he had all their products in a pie chart. Then their prices by year in a bar graph. This was the monthly conference.
"But if we decrease the prices, won't the company's money go down?" A man with grey hair and a beard asked.
"Not necessarily. Most people can't afford our products because of the price increase. But if we decrease it, more people are bound to start buying them." Sasuke explained. The people at the round table nodded in agreement.
"But how much are we talking about decreasing?" A brunette haired man questioned.
"Just back to their original prices. In case you people have forgot, the Uchiha industry is the leading business and commerce agency. We're not in debt and we have plenty of employees. And even with the price decrease, we will still be at the top." Sasuke told them. Everyone nodded.
"Then it's settled. I will announce today the price decrease. Somebody call NBC and schedule a news conference. Got it?" Everyone nodded. Sasuke walked out of the room and headed to his office. That went well, he thought while smirking.
"Get off of me!" Adrian shouted.
"But Adrian-kun! You're so cute!" A girl shouted.
"And you're so annoying! Now get off!" He yelled. Yes indeed Adrian had encountered the problems of fan girls. Just like his father. "Teacher! Help me!" He cried anime style.
"Girls! Get off of Adrian now!" The teacher screamed. They did as told. Adrian sighed and sat down at his table. The girls still continued to flirt with him. How annoying! He thought to himself. Little did Adrian know, it would just get worse as he got older. So far it was 2 o'clock. Only 1 hour to go.
"Martha! This one is sticking!" Sakura cried.
"Tina! Get some hair spray for Sakura now!" Martha yelled. Hair spray was yelled in case some fabrics were to stick. Tine ran over and did as she was told. Sakura sighed in relief.
"Thank you Tina." She said and nodded to her assistant.
"Now Sakura get on that run way!" Martha shouted. Sakura ran as fast as she could in heels and got on stage. "Okay Sakura, now walk, walk, walk, and stop, smirk, then scowl." Martha instructed. Sakura did just that. "Now glance to the left, glance to the right, turn around and stop, cock hip to the left and walk back." Martha said. Sakura complied and walked back. "Next out fit!" Martha yelled. Sakura had been wearing a blue like swim suit out fit and blue feather wings along with clear heals. Also the swim suit was a one piece but had to cuts in the sides to make it look sexy. Sakura ran back stage and began to change into the next out fit.
Sakura walked back out with a detective like hat and black jacket/dress. It looked exactly like a dress jacket but was a dress. It had two pockets and buttoned up. She had on black heals this time. Martha instructed the run way walk again.
"Perfect! Next out fit!" She shouted. Within about 5 minutes Sakura walked back out. She was wearing the Christmas themed outfit. She wore a normal pair of Victoria secret white bra and under wear. But then she had white cuffs and mittens on. Then a fuzzy hoof. Martha once again repeated the run way routine. Sakura did it perfectly. "Okay Sakura you're done! It's 2:50. Go pick up your son." Martha ordered. Sakura smiled and changed back into her normal clothes. Then she hoped in her car and went to pick up Adrian.
RING!
"Don't forget to tell your parents about your day!" The teacher called as the students pored out of the room. Adrian lifted his back pack off the hook and headed out the front of the school. He looked around and didn't see his Mom.
"Adrian!" He heard a group of voices calling. He looked back and saw his dreaded fan girls. Then he heard another voice call his name. He looked ahead to finally see his Mom.
"Mom!" He cried. He ran up to her and gave her a big hug. Then Sakura heard screams. She had forgotten her glasses again.
"Crap." She muttered. She picked Adrian up and ran to her car. She plopped him in his car seat, buckled him, and then jumped in the front of the car. She drove off from the raging fans of both her and her son. "So how was your day sweetie?" She asked panting.
"Okay, except for those annoying fan girls!" He exclaimed.
"You know your father had the same problem." She told him.
"I know. And when is he going to be home?" Adrian asked.
"Probably about 6. He has to talk to the news people on TV. We can watch him when we get home." Sakura replied. Adrian nodded and looked out the window.
As soon as the two arrived home, they turned on their TV to NBC. They sat down on the couch and waited to see Sasuke. Then it started.
"Today we have arranged a special interview with Sasuke Uchiha, the owner of Uchiha Industries. Right now we are about to talk to him live from Konoha. Are you there Sasuke?" The news reporter said.
"Yes I am Tom. And I have an announcement to make. Today our stock market has gone up 30. Why you ask? Because we have decreased our prices back to the original ones." Sakura gasped. "We are hoping that our company will make just as much money." Sasuke added. The rest of the interview was showing their prices and stock markets in scales and virtual graphs. Sakura turned off the TV and walked over to the kitchen.
"What are we having for dinner?" Adrian asked looking at his Mom.
"Vegetarian pizza. Trust me, you'll like it." She replied.
"Why can't we ever have real pizza?" Adrian complained.
"Because then I wouldn't be able to eat it Adrian! And you know that." She responded with a sharp edge in her speech.
"Fine." Adrian agreed in a pouty tone.
