"Let's go watch a movie!"

Naruto cheered while Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"That's a great idea, Sakura!" Naruto said, grinning.

"It's a terrible idea." Sasuke rolled his eyes. "It's a waste of time."

Sakura frowned at Sasuke.

"Geez, no need to be such a spoil sport!" She shook her head, then ran a hand through her pink hair. "We have to do SOMETHING. Have you guys seen Paperman?"

Naruto's eyes began to shine.

"The Disney short?" He nodded enthusiastically. "It's SO beautiful! The feels I get from watching it..." He put his hand dramatically to his heart. "It's so cute!"

Sakura laughed, throwing her head back.

"Wow!" She grinned at her blonde friend. "I hadn't expected that kind of reaction from you."

Naruto shrugged, grinning back.

"Hey, I know a good movie when I see it!"

Sasuke snorted.

"It's a short, not a movie," he remarked. "Idiot."

"What do YOU think of it?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"It's cliche," he replied. "Good art, but it's... It's pretty cliche."

"Well, it IS Disney," Naruto quipped. "Whaddaya expect?"

Sasuke responded with a 'Hn.'

"So what do YOU think about it, Sakura?" asked Naruto.

Sakura blushed.

"It's really sweet," she said. She glanced up at Sasuke, then looked away. "Someday... Maybe I can have something magical like that."

"We'll all find someone to throw paper airplanes for," Naruto said, nodding like it was a fact. "Believe it!"

Sakura smiled softly.

"Yeah."

"It's impossible," Sasuke said. "At the very least, unlikely."

"Aww, c'mon, Sasuke!" Naruto shook his head. "Don't be so down all the time."

"Naruto, how likely is it that you'd meet someone because paper airplanes brought you together?" Sasuke countered. "It's silly."

"It's not!" insisted the blonde. "It's magic!"

Sasuke snorted again.

"Look," Sakura said, interrupting the boys, "We don't need magic or airplanes, that wasn't the point. The point was that when you meet someone you really like, someone you're meant to be with... You'll find a way. You'll be together, somehow."

Sasuke and Naruto became quiet, considering her words.

"Hn," Sasuke finally acknowledged after some time.

"You're SO right, Sakura!" Naruto said happily.

Sakura nodded sagely.

"Well, it's only to be expected," she said teasingly. "I AM the smartest and wisest of the three of us."

"Hey!" Naruto called. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, right. Also the weakest."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

~•=•~

Looking back on things, Sakura acknowledged they'd all been idiots.

From the first time they'd met at camp, to the first time they'd met on break in college, Sakura realized their signature thing seemed to be doing stupid things. They'd wasted time out on the lake; they'd argued about a short film.

Now, here she was, leaning out of a hotel balcony, wondering what her boyfriend wanted to talk about tonight.

The wind lightly blew her hair, and she sighed.

He had told her he'd drop by her hotel room soon to talk to her. About what, she had no clue. They'd been together for two years now, but they'd known each other for much longer.

The day Uchiha Sasuke had asked her out had been the day Sakura realized dreams could come true.

It was evening. Stars dotted the night, but the city lights cast a brightness to the sky that made it seem more alive than it could without. The moon was round and full, silver, "a wisp of beauty all alone," and so like her that it was amazing. Pockmarked, stunning, and touched by magic.

That described Sakura perfectly. Scars from long ago, beauty, and (somehow) the boy of her dreams.

Gusts of wind continued to blow her hair about her. She tucked her hair behind her ear, but it was in vain: the next time the wind blew, her hair fell into disarray. Huffing, she let it loose this time, letting her pink hair surround her, a pink halo, a pink mess, tossed to and fro by the wind.

She smiled contentedly.

And then, something fell from the sky.

It fell down, directly past her, and she leaned over her balcony, blinking from surprise. It was small and white, and continued to fall down to the ground below her. She was on a high floor, but the object must have come from higher up. She turned her head upward.

Nothing. The balcony above her was empty, as far as she could see. She shook it off, a bit weirded out.

Then another object fell.

She caught this one. It rumpled in her fingers, and it took her a moment to comprehend what she was holding.

A paper airplane.

She blinked in astonishment, and suddenly there were more, raining down from above, some being picked up by the wind and twirling around her head with her hair, and she was laughing, breathless, excited, and then she was running up the stairwell, climbing to the roof.

And when she got there, she wasn't surprised at all to find Sasuke, a bag of paper airplanes in his hand, smirking at her. She approached him, cheeks flushed, and tucked a pink lock of hair behind her ear.

"I thought this whole idea was cliche to you," she said when she'd caught her breath.

"Hn." Sasuke dropped the bag of paper airplanes, and they spilled across the rooftop, scattered in the space between them. "It fits, though."

He reached into his pocket.

Pulled out a box.

Got down on one knee.

Never mind breathing, she couldn't think anymore. Was Sasuke holding a ring?

"Will you marry me, Sakura?" he asked.

Had Sasuke just asked...?

She met his eyes.

And smiled.

"Yes."

And when they kissed, the wind picked up, and they were surrounded by paper airplanes.
