The trees were undergoing a chemical change. They were now littered with bright yellows, reds, and oranges. This was also called autumn. Uchiha Itachi sat on his front porch, a thoughtful expression on his face. A gentle breeze blew through his hair. A loud sigh escaped his lips.

"What can I do ?" He asked out loud. His fingers lightly tapped the floor underneath him. A group of Uchiha toddlers ran past him, shrieking loudly as they played a game of tag. The sight made him remember his first date with Naruto. They had played childish games for the first half. He knew the young blonde liked those types of games, and suddenly, an idea sprang to action.

Sakura could barely believe her ears when Itachi Uchiha invited her to a party. Sure, it was the blonde's 13th birthday party, but a party is a party. She was also instructed to tell every one of the rookie 9's of the party. She gave herself a moment to act like a complete girl. 'Who should I ask first ?' Almost immediately, an image of her ex-best friend popped into her head. Underneath all of that rivalry, Sakura missed Ino. She had made Sakura who she was today. With a frown on her face, Sakura made her way to the Yamanaka's flower shop. She was sure Ino would have let everyone know about the party before the sun set. After all, Ino had always been better than her. When she saw Ino through the glass, Sakura put on a small smile.

"Ohayo, Ino-pig." She said softly. The blonde looked up from a vase of daisies she had been organizing. Confusion became apparent on her face.

"Ohayo, billboard brow." Ino replied. "Why are you here ?" She rested her chin on her hands.

"I, uh, came here to... uh..." Sakura tried to stall, but Ino had known her for a long time and knew exactly what she was doing.

"Not buy flowers, obviously. Spit it out." Ino rolled her eyes, but a grin brightened her face.

"It's Naruto's birthday on Saturday... and Itachi's planning a party for him." She began. Her face began to heat up. The blonde pursed her lips in thought, supposedly checking her inner calendar.

"And the rookie's are all invited." Ino concluded, leaning forward on her elbows.

"Y-yep." Sakura managed to nod.

"Alright. I'll let everyone know. I'm sure Hinata'll be glad to come." Ino raised her hand to her mouth before bursting into soft laughter.

"I knew it ! I knew she liked Naruto !" Sakura exclaimed, stepping forward. Ino shook her head.

"But Naruto's gay." She said dryly. Sakura's eyes widened.

"How did you know ?"

"Who doesn't know other than Hinata ?" Ino asked. She rounded the glass counter she had been standing behind and stood in front of Sakura.

"Listen, Ino. She can't know. It could completely take away the little backbone she has now. It would ruin her!" The pink-haired genin let her eyes fall on the wooden paneling of the floor.

"I know." Ino said. "Sakura, my eyes are up here."

Sakura raised her brows at the statement, but brought her gaze up anyways. "Ino... I miss... being your best friend. I'm not sure when I realized it, but I really do."
