Hey there everyone! I'm BAAAAACK!

Okay, this isn't going to be a long story...maybe two chapters, three at most? Yeah, but it kinda came to me and since I've had no inspiration for anything else lately, I've had to do this to hopefully get back into the motions, you know?

This first chapter is kinda, chapter 1 and a preview, so yeah. Also, it's roughly based on a scene in the movie Big Fish...so if you've seen that, (it has Euen Mcgregor or however, you spell his name?) so yeah, you might recognize it.

Also, if it seems to have like a , fantasy sort of touch to it (time freezes! O.o) then it's real...as in, it's really happening and it's not just a strange, fleeting feeling. Yeah, just letting you know so that you don't get confused...hopefully.

Okay then, that's all for now!

Here we gooo! -presses start button-

~Old Sayings~

Someone once said that when you see your true love for the first time, time itself comes to a stop.

I had heard this and scoffed, unbelieving. After all, time was something that had a mind of its own and refused to stop for anyone. Therefore, I deemed that saying as utter nonsense and paid no mind to it.

And I kept this opinion throughout my childhood and high school years. I never fell in love, and hardly took interest in the few relationships I had had.

And it was with the same mindset that I entered college.

For my first year, everything was the same. I worked hard, was top of my class, went out with a few girls and guys, but never did something as ridiculous as love happen.

So when a friend of mine invited me to a party to celebrate the New Year, I accepted, not at all suspecting that that night would be the start of something incredible for me.

I showered and dressed, choosing to wear a white undershirt and a blue button up long sleeve shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up and the buttons undone. Then there was tight grey jeans and black converse. Chains were wrapped around my wrists, and I decided to wear my eyebrow piercing for a change.

Not even attempting to try and tame my dark hair, which hung low in the front and stuck up at the back, simply ran a hand through it and deemed myself ready.

When I walked out of my apartment, I was met with my friend Sakura. She was wearing a shirt, hot pink dress with black tights underneath. Elbow length black, fingerless gloves were adorning her hand, and two hot pink bracelets sat on either wrist. Her bright pink hair was brushed back and clipped up with an ornate butterfly clip that glimmered in the light. Her lips were painted with lipstick and her eyeliner was thick. She smiled at me and nodded approvingly.

"Good. You look pretty nice." She said. I rolled my eyes and walked past her.

"Hn."

She giggled and followed, the two of us making our way towards the nearby club where the party was being held.

When we arrived, the place was a throbbing mass of bodies, flashing lights and deafening music and cheerfully yelling people. People writhed and twisted on the dance floor, tables off to the side were jammed with large groups that were playing drinking games or chatting loudly about pointless things. The bar was loaded with people, chugging back drinks and yelling loudly at the barkeeper for more.

I sighed, but the sound was lost to pounding bass of the dance music playing. Sakura looked absolutely amazed with the surroundings, and I found myself being dragged over to the mass of squirming bodies before I could protest.

"Sasuke! Dance with me!" she demanded, tugging me onto the floor and forcing me to sway to the music.

I groaned and let her do as she pleased, slowly letting my hips move on their own. She grinned happily and began to dance faster, swaying her hips and her arms and letting her eyes close.

As soon as I could no longer see her green eyes, I danced in the opposite direction, towards the bar. Jumping away from the other dancers, I smirked as I found an empty seat by the bar, knowing full well that Sakura would chew me out later for ditching her like that, but I didn't care. I wasn't a dancer by nature, and preferred sitting down during these pointless parties.

Ordering a shot of tequila, I let my eyes rove over the other people in the club, occasionally spotting a face I recognized.

Over in the far corner, I saw the lazy genius of the campus, Nara Shikamaru. He was slumped over a couch, somehow fast asleep. His girlfriend, Temari was sitting next to him, chatting away to her friend Tenten.

I snorted when I saw Temari's younger, and homicidal, brother Gaara sitting not too far away, his eyes dark and his scowl prominent. My guess was that he had been dragged to the party by his sister, despite numerous death threats on his behalf.

But if they were here, that meant that the other sibling, Kankuro, wasn't too far away either.

Sure enough, after a moment of searching, I saw the make-up wearing weirdo with a bunch of guys, still holding onto one of his creepy puppets and putting on a show for his friends.

That guy never ceased to disturb me.

Chouji, a friend of Shikamaru's, was sitting near the snack. That was no surprise. The large guy was always eating, so it would be more of a shock to see him anywhere besides the snack counter.

I also managed to spot Hyuuga Neji and Rock Lee. I almost laughed out loud at the sight of the green clad boy forcing Neji to dance by grabbing his arms and swinging him around to the music. Neji looked about ready to kill someone.

Smirking, I motioned the bartender to give me yet another shot, which I drained easily.

The night passed by with relative ease. I'd seen Sakura amongst the crowd, sometimes dancing and sometimes looking around murderously, undoubtedly searching for me. At those times, I made certain to retreat to the men's bathroom for a few minutes.

By the middle of the party, I wasn't drunk, but had a pleasant buzz. It allowed me to relax and let the tension of the week wash away in the river of music and alcohol.

For some reason, the old saying of how time freezes upon seeing your true love came flowing back into my mind, giving me more reasons to scoff aloud. It was ridiculous.

I was getting tired, and thought about going back home without Sakura, when something caught my eye. A flash of gold, moving through the crowd towards the exit.

I followed it with my eyes, curious as to what would display such a brilliant colour in a place like this. The golden person turned back, sending a last glance to the club.

And in that moment, the old saying became a reality.

Everything stopped. Sound disappeared, and the writhing club slowed to a standstill. I stared, mouth agape and eyes wide at the startling blue before.

Slowly, almost as if I were sleepwalking, I moved off the stool. I took each step carefully, one at a time and very measured.

There were frozen bodies before me, clothes that were in the middle of swaying, but not moving. I pushed these things out of the way, and they moved without complaint, simply choosing to settle at a different angle.

Someone had thrown a cup full of liquid the moment time had frozen, but I didn't even stop to admire the sparkling liquid that was spread through the still air. I simply ducked underneath the arch it had formed and continued my trek to the golden one.

After pushing through several more stiff bodies, I was finally in front of the person that had caused this.

Bright, sparkling blue eyes under a mass of golden hair. Tanned skin and whiskered cheeks were displayed in an outfit consisting of a bright orange shirt with a black spiral design on the stomach, and dark blue jeans.

This person was frozen too, his eyes unseeing of my presence as I stood in absolute awe.

The silence should have bothered me. The fact that time had stopped should have scared me. But I was too captivated by the man in front of me to really notice that things weren't normal.

Just by looking at this guy, I could feel my heartbeat speed up and my breathing quicken. I wanted to know this person, no matter what.

I stared at him for ages, simply taking in his appearance and burning it into my mind. Finally, after at least half an hour, I reached forward tentatively and let my fingers brush his cheek.

The person who said that time froze when you met your true love left out one very important, very horrible fact.

And that was that, in order to make up for its momentary lapse in motion, time would speed up once the moment was broken.

As soon as I felt the soft, warm skin, the spell broke. Sound came crashing down and the bodies moved at high speed, as if it was a move being fast forwarded. The blonde was gone within a half second, leaving me standing there with my arm outstretched as the masses around me slowed to their original, normal pace.

I stared at the exit where the blonde had vanished, my mind trying to pull itself out of its shock at his sudden appearance and disappearance.

Suddenly, there was a hand on my shoulder, shaking me. "Sasuke? Sasuke, what's wrong?"

I turned, dazed, to see Sakura staring at me, concern on her face.

Letting my arm drop, I took a deep breath and turned to her.

"I'm in love."

Muahahahahhahah!...sorry, I'm feeling random again.
