Sakura was cleaning out her room, getting rid of anything she didn't need and the pile of things she'd carry out to donate was steadily growing. She had cleaned every inch of her room except for her closet, and that's where she found it.

A messy, badly drawn picture of Naruto and his friends smiling and having fun. She remembered it, and smiled immediately upon seeing it.

Why did she smile? Because Naruto had his parents by his side. Back then, she didn't know how his parents looked so she just assumed that they both had blonde hair and blue eyes. Sasuke was with his parents too, and Hinata was playing with her bullies now instead of hiding from them. Neji was playing frisbee with Hinata's father, who used to despise the boy back when they were younger, in the background. A big sun was in the corner of the page, literally smiling down at them.

Sakura smiled because younger her drew a life where her friends at the time had no problems what so ever. Everyone was happy and had their families, even her own parents were in the picture. Sakura walked over to the wall on the far left, pinning the picture up with a thumb tack. The picture was so pure, it made Sakura smile everytime she looked at it.

What Sakura didn't notice, was that she wasn't in the picture.

Well actually, she drew herself on the back of the paper. No one else was with her, except for a blonde haired boy with blue eyes.
