Shh! Story Time!...

Sasuke looked over at his friend sitting on the other side of the table who was oh so happily looking over the menu for the hundredth time.

"Why are you looking at it?" he asked. "It's not like we haven't been here before."

"I know that," Naruto answered without looking up. "But I like the pictures."

Sasuke shook his head and turned to look out the window before placing his attention at the small juke box connected to the wall. He was beginning to think about putting a quarter in when Naruto interrupted his thoughts.

"Split some chilli fries with me," he said in a demanding voice.

"No," answered Sasuke.

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't like them," Sasuke told him sternly.

"But I want some," Naruto whined.

"Then order some."

"I am," Naruto said. "But I also want some potato skins and a sundae."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "And?"

"Aaannnd, I'm not gonna be able to eat all that by myself. The food is huge here and you know it!"

"And me splitting chilli fries with you is going to help?" he asked.

Naruto nodded happily. "Yeah."

Sasuke took a breath in before stating, "No."

Naruto's face fell. "Please, I'm not gonna be able to eat everything."

"Never thought I'd hear you say that," Sasuke told him. "Next time pick a place where they don't give you so much food then."

Naruto threw his hands in the air and started to wave them frantically. "But this is like the best place in the world!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned back to the window. Naruto started to pout in his seat, quietly forming a plan to get the other boy to split the food with him.

"If you don't split an order with me," Naruto began. "Then I'll never speak to you again."

Sasuke shrugged. "Fine with me."

"You sonuvabitch!" Naruto yelled, causing everyone to look at the pair. "Are you cereal?"

"I wouldn't actually mind it," Sasuke admitted.

"Is everything alright here?" a nearby waiter came over to ask.

"No!" Naruto said in a hushed cry. "My boyfriend's really upset with me and says that he'll hurt me if I keep looking over at you and I think he means it this time."

"What the hell are you doing?" Sasuke leaned in and asked in a harsh whisper.

"I can keep this story up or you can split an order of fries with me," Naruto replied.

Sasuke looked at him in disbelief. "Over a damn order of fries... Fine."

Naruto clapped his hands together happily and looked back at the waiter. "We're fine now thanks. Can you take our order?"

"You know one of days you're gonna get me in real trouble," Sasuke said after the waiter left with their requests.

Naruto waved it off. "Not like your daddy can't get you out of it."

"As true as that is, still... I'm never coming out with you again."

Naruto laughed. "That's what you said after the whole Hollywood thing."

"I mean it this time," said Sasuke.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

There was a small lapse of silence before Sasuke remembered something and voiced it out.

"Didn't you drag me out here because you had some major problem?" he asked.

Naruto's eyes widened and shot up in his seat. "That's right! I forgot all about it..."

"So what is it?"

Naruto cleared his throat. "Okay, so there's this girl, yeah? And I've known her for awhile now and... I think I fell for her."

Sasuke blinked. "Okay, and?"

"The weird thing is, I've never really met her," Naruto explained.

This grabbed the other boy's attention. "So why don't you just meet her?"

"Well I can't really, 'cause she's like on the other side of the world."

Sasuke allowed the information to settle in his mind before saying anything. "What?"

"I don't know," Naruto groaned. "Like.. we've been talking to each other and like one day, I don't know, I kinda starting thinking that maybe I was kinda in like with her."

Sasuke blinked again. "What?"

Naruto sighed. "I think I'm gonna have to start from the beginning."

Sasuke groaned this time. "Am I going to have to order another coffee?"

Naruto tilted his head in thought before nodding slowly. "Yeah, go ahead. It might take awhile."

Disclaimer: We'll carry on.

-So then! I don't know how many people (if any) remember a fic by the same name being posted over more than a year ago by a couple of fic writers who went by Haldor Brandybuck and Lalaith Weasley. It was taken down after being reported to the fanfic admins for whatever reason and was posted elsewhere, etc etc etc for anyone who happened to stumble upon their profile and wanted to look it over.

-Anyway, I'm reposting it on fanfic (and hoping that whoever reported it the first time is no longer around, but we'll see how that goes) mostly for nostalgia sake, and in case anyone is thinking, "Do you have permission to do that?", yes. Yes, I do.

-I'll be posting chapters up weekly, after putting them through editing and fixing spelling and other tedious grammar shite that slipped through the first time. Okay, maybe not slipped through, but were blatantly ignored. Nothing major though, it's just to make it read easier.

-Oh, and words that are italicized means they're speaking Japanese. I know later on in a chapter there are bolded words and that means they're speaking Chinese. But I guess you don't have to worry about that yet.
