This chapter
starts a little bit of Gaara/Sasuke, which is important to the plot and will be
more prominent later on in the story...but don't
worry! This is a NaruSas fic, and it will
(eventually) turn out that way!

Chapter 5:
Konoha Zoo

Sasuke woke up
the next morning a lot later than he normally did. Even then, he stayed in his
bed staring up at the ceiling until nearly 11 o'clock. The only reason he got
up then was because Itachi came in his room and said, "Nothing will get
done if you just stay in here brooding all day. Get up, little brother."
"Hai...Aniki."
He finished
getting reading and taking a shower in under twenty minutes. He was watching
cartoons when there was a knock on his door. To his horror, it
was Itachi who answered the door. Itachi smirked down at the scowling
redhead. "May I help you?"
Gaara didn't
look threatening at all wearing overalls with a sea foam green shirt that clung
to his body stopping just above his waist and showing off quite a bit of skin,
but the look he sent Itachi could have caused Hell to freeze over. "I'm
here for Sasuke," he said icily.
Itachi's eyes
narrowed a fraction of an inch, but he showed no other outward signs of
annoyance. "Stay here. I'll get him."
Ignoring the
command, Gaara sidled past Itachi before the door closed. "That's all
right, Uchiha-san. I can get him."
A low growl
sounded in Itachi's throat and his eyes took on a reddish hue. If it weren't
for the second knock on the door, he might have tried his best to tear Gaara
limb from limb. He threw the door open with enough
force to tear it off its hinges, promising death to whomever was on the other
side.
"Whoa, calm
down, Itachi!" Kisame said defensively, holding up his hands. "Who
tied a knot in your panties?"
Itachi glowered
at Gaara, who looked up at the two innocently.
Sasuke rounded
the corner and took Gaara's hand, leading him out the door. "Bye, aniki. I
might be home late."
"What a
bitch," murmured Gaara once they were safely outside.
"How can you live with him?" Kisame put a threatening hand on his
shoulder, but Gaara merely swept it aside.
Inside, Sasuke
was rolling on the ground laughing. No one had ever acted this way in front of
Itachi and Kisame before. Most people crawled in a corner and tried not to pee
themselves--and no one had ever survived without a scratch when Itachi's eyes
turned that color.
"He must
have been working on one of his plays," Sasuke explained. "He hates
it when people interrupt his 'artistic mood.'"
Gaara rolled his
eyes. "I've read some of his works, and I even saw the original Insomniac's
Dream when it was still just a little play. He has a right to be upset; he
needs as few interruptions as possible to keep his writing from becoming complete
shit."
"You didn't
like them?"
"Have you
read them?" Gaara laughed dryly. "No, I've found better literature in
a public restroom." He looked over his shoulder at the glowering Kisame.
"I know you're going to tell Itachi. Go ahead. I'll even write it down, if
you want me to, and you can quote me verbatim."
"Come on, Gaara,"
said Sasuke, shifting nervously under Kisame's death glare. "Where are we
going first?"
"To
visit Naruto, of course, to make fun of him because he has to work and we
don't."
Sasuke's heart
sped up. He would get to see Naruto today!
When they entered
the bookstore, there were several other people in the store as well as another
worker. Naruto waved enthusiastically and rang up the customers as fast as he
could. Gaara walked up to the tall employee and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Kimimaro,
this is Sasuke," Gaara said, introducing the white-haired man.
"It's nice
to meet you." Kimimaro had a soft, velvety voice, and he moved like water
when he reached out to shake Sasuke's hand. "I've heard a lot about you,
from Naruto."
Sasuke blushed.
"Don't
worry, it was all good things. Very good things."
Sasuke's blush
deepened. He suddenly resented being so pale, the practically translucent skin
showing the slightest sign of a blush.
Naruto had
finally finished with the customers, and the store was empty again. He pulled
Sasuke into a deep hug. "Hey! What's up? Gaara keeping you company?"
Sasuke nodded,
unable to say anything with his face buried in Naruto's jacket. If anyone else
had ever pulled him in a hug like this, he would have pushed them
away, but it was different with Naruto. He felt warm, he felt safe, in those
strong arms of his, pressed up against that broad chest, breathing his scent.
Naruto let him
go and asked Gaara, "So, where are you planning on taking him today?"
"Your
favorite place," Gaara smirked.
Naruto glared.
"Teme!!! How dare you go to the zoo without me!
And Tuesday's the day they have the special panda exhibit! Boo, you
whore!" Naruto started laughing. "You're going to take him to meet
Kankuro, aren't you?"
"Who's
Kankuro?" Sasuke asked.
"He's
Gaara's older brother," Naruto answered. "He does this show for kids
and gets hired out by different companies. The zoo has him booked Tuesdays and
Thursdays from now until, like...forever. But, I've seen Kankuro's show, and
it's actually pretty good. There's interaction and
movement and colors and damn it, Gaara, I want to go to the zoo!!!"
"...Are we
really going to the zoo?" Sasuke asked skeptically.
"Oh, you
haven't lived until you've been to Konoha Zoo!" Naruto practically
shouted.
"Naruto!" Kimimaro said
sharply. "Get your butt to that register!"
Naruto looked up
and noticed the long queue of people. "Ah! Gomen, gomen!
I didn't hear anyone come in!" He dashed over to the register, and Gaara
took Sasuke by the wrist and led him out of the store.
"Have fun,
you two," Kimimaro called after them.
"It's like
that all the time in there," Gaara explained, letting go of Sasuke.
"There will be no one for hours and hours and then it's suddenly packed.
Come on, we've got to take the bus. The zoo's a few miles out of the downtown
area."
Gaara paid for
their bus tickets. As the bus rumbled down the street, Sasuke watched Kyuubi
Bookstore get smaller and smaller until it was finally out of sight.
Gaara waited
until several seats were filled between them and
Kisame. When a baby started crying, Gaara all but whispered, "You love
him, don't you?"
Sasuke jumped.
"Well, I wouldn't say love--"
Gaara rolled his
eyes. "Fine. You 'like him a lot,' don't
you?"
A sad sort of
smile crossed Sasuke's lips. "Do you often ask questions to which you
already know the answer?"
Gaara smirked.
"So, will you have time to come back to the store and visit Naru-kun
tomorrow, too?"
Sasuke shook his
head. "No, I'm going on a mini-vacation tomorrow to Otogakure. I'm
starring in a new movie, The Seven Suns, and filming starts tomorrow.
I'll be back Friday evening."
"In
time to hang out with Naruto on Saturday?"
"...I was
supposed to stay in Otogakure until next Monday." He turned and met
Gaara's eyes. "Answer me truthfully, please. Am I really that
pathetic?"
Gaara sat back
in his seat and closed his eyes. "There's a scene in Insomniac's Dream,
the play, that was changed for the movie. Hatori, your
character, was not supposed to hook up with the love interest, Nanako. Instead,
in the ending, instead of them finally meeting up, Hatori falls into a deep,
dreamless sleep--the first time he's slept fully and
soundly in several years. He doesn't wake up--ever again. It's a much more
poetic ending, but too powerful for a cinematic event." He opened his
eyes. "Naruto's like that--he doesn't run by the script. That's why he has
such a powerful pull, that's why people fall in love with him...some more so
than others."
"Gaara,"
Sasuke asked quietly, "are you...are you in love with Naruto?"
"Of
course."
Neither Gaara's tone nor facial expressions changed in the slightest. "But
never in the same way that you love him. Naruto's more like a brother to me;
more so, in fact, than my own brother." He sighed and closed his eyes once
more. "I'm much like your character, Hatori. I can't sleep. I've tried
everything from drugs to hypnotherapy, but I can never stay asleep for more
than two hours at a time. When I met Naruto, however, I was finally able to
sleep. I mean, it's usually only four or five hours, but...it's an
improvement." His eyes slid open and he glanced sideways at Sasuke.
"I suppose his personality is just that exhausting."
Sasuke felt his
smile slide into a position it had never been in before--the smile of one who
is truly, undoubtedly in love.
The bus stopped,
and Gaara stood up. "Well, this is our stop."

-

Sasuke stood
staring at the kangaroos, thinking about what Gaara had said. Gaara came up to
him and handed him a popsicle. "Come on," he
said, tugging lightly on Sasuke's sleeve. "We're going to miss Kankuro's big debut."
Sasuke
had expected Gaara to lead him to a small corner or something and was surprised
to find himself in a large stadium. "Is Kankuro really this
good?"
Gaara shrugged.
"I guess so. People come from all over just to see him. Half the zoo's
profits come from Kankuro's pull."
They sat down,
and Sasuke opened his popsicle. He slid the red treat
between his lips, pulling it slowly in and out several times. A little bit of
juice ran down his lower lip toward his chin, and his tongue, now dyed bright
red, flicked out and caught it before it was out of
reach.
Gaara stared,
open-mouthed. Sasuke glanced over. "Umm... Can I help you?"
Gaara realized Sasuke
had no idea how erotic that scene was and kept his mouth shut about it, knowing
Sasuke wouldn�t continue the spectacle if he said something. Hell, he would
keep feeding the model popsicles until he (Sasuke) exploded if he had to! "Nothing, nothing. Keep going."
Sasuke shrugged,
thinking no more about it before sliding the entire thing into his mouth. He
noticed Gaara was staring again. "What?" he demanded.
"It's just a popsicle! Stop staring at me like that!"
"A word of
advice," Gaara said, his own lips stained blue from his popsicle,
"when you go out with Naruto on Saturday, ask him to buy you a
popsicle."
Sasuke opened
his mouth to ask why but at that moment, the show started, and his question wouldn't have been heard above the cheers anyway. Sasuke jumped
when there was a large ball of fire and Kankuro appeared.
The show was
actually pretty good. While there was an ongoing theme
of friendship and individuality for the kids, there were lots of special
effects to keep their attention. Kankuro juggled up to ten balls, jumped
through hoops of fire, and enacted several magic tricks flawlessly.
"Wow, your
brother's really good," Sasuke remarked.
"Is
he?" Gaara asked, staring in the other direction, uninterested. When the
show ended, Gaara didn't join in the applause. They waited for the crowds to
die down before making their way down to the stage.
"Gaara!" Kankuro said,
surprised. "I didn't know you would be here!"
"Sasuke,
this is Kankuro," he introduced half-heartedly. "Kankuro, this is my
friend, Sasuke. Kankuro, I won't be home for dinner. Could you tell
Temari?"
Kankuro rolled
his eyes. "Tell her yourself. I'm busy. Nice to meet
you, Sasuke." He turned around and disappeared behind a large
trailer."
"Nice
man," said Sasuke, bemused.
"You should
see him when he wasn't just paid," Gaara answered tersely.
"Regular fucking ball of sunshine, he is." He grabbed Sasuke's arm
and pulled in the other direction. "Come on, let's go see the pandas. Mi
Lang is only shown on Tuesdays because she's pregnant. She's closely monitored
the other days, hooked up to all sorts of machines."
Sasuke smiled.
"I love pandas."
Gaara spun
around and rested his hands on Sasuke's shoulders. "More
than foxes?"
Sasuke searched
Gaara's face for some sign that he was playing around, but only found concrete
seriousness, his eyes full of desperate pleading. "Gaara, what are you
talking about?"
Gaara averted
his eyes. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."
"Gaara, are
you sure you're okay?"
But the redhead
refused to answer.

-

By the time the
day was over, Sasuke had to admit that he had had a great time. They had dinner
at a little Italian restaurant next to the zoo and then watched fireworks from
the boardwalk. It was truly romantic, and Sasuke felt guilty
wishing Naruto were by his side instead.
Gaara walked him
home, which, Sasuke thought, was unnecessary with Kisame there.
At the front
entrance to the apartment, Gaara took Sasuke's hands. "You're very pretty,
you know," he said softly. "And not just the
outside. Don't let anyone ever change you. You're perfect the way you
are." He softly kissed Sasuke's cheek, and the next moment, he was gone,
almost as if he hadn't been there at all to begin with, as if this whole day
were just a dream.
"Good
night, Gaara," Sasuke whispered after him.
Sasuke stumbled
into his bedroom without turning on the lights and was halfway to his bed when
he remembered he needed to pack. Kisame had followed him in, so he knew he
wouldn't be able to sleep any time soon, anyway.
He grabbed
several outfits from his closet and threw them unceremoniously into his
suitcase. He sat back on his bed and suddenly felt tears welling up in his
eyes.
'I fell in
love,' he realized. 'I didn't want to fall in love...'
Falling in love
meant complications. He had already resolved to come back from Otogakure early
so he could spend more time with Naruto. What would happen when he started
cancelling trips all together...? He would be out of a job, and worse--the
press might start hounding Naruto. Could the blonde
take all that negative attention? And worse still...what would Itachi do to
him?
Besides, Naruto
only liked him as a friend. There was no way he would ever like him as anything
more...was there?
'NO! I can't let
myself think that way! I don't want to get hurt...'
He stood up suddenly.
Not knowing exactly where he was going or what he would do when he got there,
his feet took him at a quick pace to his front door. He opened the door and
jumped back, startled, when he saw Naruto with his hand up as if he were just
about to knock.
"Ah! Naruto... What are you doing?"
Naruto rubbed
the back of his head and laughed. "Well, Gaara called me a few minutes ago
and said you had to go to Otogakure for the rest of the week. I just wanted to
say good bye." He lowered his hand and looked curiously at Sasuke.
"Where were you going?"
"What do
you mean?"
"Well... I
hadn't knocked yet, but you were opening the door."
Sasuke started
to feel panicked. How would he tell Naruto that he had been on his way to see
him? "I was--I was on my way to the store, to get some snacks for the
trip."
Naruto laughed.
"That bag from Anko's wasn't enough? Then again...I suppose you probably
wouldn't want something made entirely of sugar."
"Yeah..."
Naruto tilted
his head slightly. "Sasuke, are you okay? You seem depressed about
something. Is there anything I can do to help? Here, I'll help you pack, and
you can tell me about it."
There
was a long, loud moan that came from Itachi's room.
"...Then
again, why don't we go to the store first?" Naruto's face fell.
"Oh... But you need a bodyguard, don't you..."
Sasuke shook his
head before leaving the apartment, closing the door softly behind him.
"No, it's fine. I'll be fine."
"Well,"
said Naruto as they waited for the elevator, "if anyone attacks you, I
know kung fu! ...Sort of. But I did get an A in
kicking ass!"
Sasuke snorted. "Right, dobe."
Naruto stuck out
his tongue. "Geez, way to be a jerk face. See if
I ever talk to you again."
Even though
Sasuke knew Naruto was being sarcastic, he still felt a sharp pain shoot
through his heart. Without thinking, he reached out, grabbed a fistful of
Naruto�s shirt, and leaned his head against the base of the blonde's
neck. "Don't--"
The elevator
doors opened, but Naruto didn't move. At first, Sasuke was afraid that Naruto
was angry with him, but the blonde turned around and
wrapped his arms around the brunette. "Sasuke," he whispered softly
in his ear, "Sasuke, what's wrong? You can trust me. You can tell me
anything..."
Sasuke drew
back, tears stinging the corners of his eyes. What would he say
to the man he loved so much it hurt...yet the very same he could never
be with...?
"Sasuke?"
The door to
Sasuke's apartment flew open, revealing Itachi wearing a robe and a pair of
black silk boxers. "Sasuke!" he snapped. "You can't just go
wandering off like this! What if you had been kidnapped and
held for ransom? How would okaa-san and otou-san feel?"
Sasuke's stone
cold fa�ade was suddenly back in place. "What do
you care anyway, Itachi? All you care about is yourself. I know for a fact that
I only see about 40 percent of what I make and that you keep the rest." He
knew it was no good provoking his older brother, that this
would only end painfully for him, but he couldn't help it. With Naruto
there, he felt like he could stand up to anything.
"I'm
surprised you feel that way," Itachi said slowly, his voice deceptively
sweet. "I suppose there's no way I can prove my love to you, little
brother, but one day, you'll see..." The door closed softly, and Sasuke
practically ran down the stairs, Naruto puffing behind him, trying to keep up.
"S--Sasuke,
wait up!"
Sasuke slowed
down a little, but the thought of putting as much
distance between himself and Itachi was first on his "to-do" list.
Whenever Itachi adopted that tone, Sasuke knew that he was in deep shit. The
sweeter the tone, the deeper the shit, and at that moment, Itachi could have
passed as a kindergarten teacher.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted,
finally able to grab onto Sasuke's arm and pull until he stopped. "Sasuke,
what's wrong? What's gotten into you?"
"Itachi's
going to kill me!" Sasuke managed to pant. "He's a control whore! If
he's not in control of every little aspect of my life, he's not happy, and I--I
went against him! He's going to kill me!"
"It can't
be that bad," Naruto tried to reason. "I mean, he's your brother,
after all."
Sasuke sent
Naruto a look usually reserved for people he loathed. "You don't know my
brother." He sighed and suddenly looked like a very small child, ignorant
and alone. "I'm sorry. Let's just...let's go."

Naruto bit his tongue against the barrage of questions, knowing that when
Sasuke was ready to answer, he would.
They arrived at
the convenience store, and Naruto waved to the man at the register. "Hey, Asuma-san!"
Asuma didn't
remove the cigarette from between his lips when he greeted Naruto back. "Hey, Naruto. Who's your friend?"
"This is
Sasuke!" Naruto answered. "He's going on vacation, so we're getting
him some treats!"
Asuma laughed.
"It seems like you're not the only one going on vacation, Sasuke-kun. I've
never seen the shop so busy! Shino-kun's going on a camping
trip with his father...something about finding a rare bee for their new honey.
And Kiba-kun's sister Hana-chan is going on some trip with her veterinarian class
at college... Oh, and Sakura-chan and Ino-chan were in here! They said they'd
be back in a few minutes..."
Sasuke and
Naruto blanched. "Maybe we should have waited for Kisame," Naruto
mumbled.
"Well, if
they come in, we'll just make a run for it," Sasuke muttered back.
Naruto grabbed a
basket and quickly began stuffing all sorts of things into it. He had stocked
up on about thirty cups of instant ramen before turning to Sasuke. "Oh, yeah. I guess we're supposed to be shopping for
you, aren't we?"
Sasuke laughed
as Naruto's hand automatically went up to rub the back of his head. He grabbed
a basket for himself and let Naruto toss some things inside.
He lifted up a cup of instant ramen and eyed it curiously. "Is this stuff
any good?"
Naruto looked as
if he had been slapped. "You're kidding, right?
That stuff is the best! Well, I mean, nothing can come close to the real
thing, but it's a sure second."
They had just
finished paying for their goodies when the bell above the shop tinkled. They
could almost feel the two pairs of eyes burning holes into their backs. They
slowly turned around, and their stomachs dropped when they found themselves
face-to-face with Ino and Sakura.
"Saaasuke~!!!!!!" they cheered
in unison. They shoved Naruto clear across the store before tackling Sasuke.
"I'm
coming, Sasuke!" Naruto called, trying to shove the girls away.
"Sasuke-kuuun~!!!" Ino cried shrilly.
"Please sign my breasts!!"

"No! Sign mine!" Sakura shouted,
shoving Naruto aside.
Thinking
quickly, Naruto pointed outside before shouting, "Oh my kami, it's Hatake
Kakashi-sama!!"
Ino and Sakura
dropped Sasuke before bolting outside. "Come on, Sasuke!" Naruto
hissed. "Now's our chance!"
"Go out the
back, Naruto-kun," said Asuma, hardly changing his expression. "It'll
be safer that way. I'll keep them off your trail for as long as possible."
"Arigatou,
Asuma-san!!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the wrist
and pulled them out the back door, sprinting into the darkness. "Is your
life always like this?" Naruto questioned.
Sasuke nodded,
even though Naruto was facing ahead. "Yeah, pretty much. For weeks, no one
will recognize me, and then suddenly everyone wants my autograph. I guess
because I've been in a movie, it's sped up the wait period."
Naruto shrugged.
"No, I think Ino-chan goes on star watches, where she just sits and waits
for someone famous to crawl in her midst. And with her big mouth, everyone
should know you're here within the hour. Maybe it's a good thing you'll be out
of town for a few days."
"Oh, God,"
Sasuke said, his stomach dropping even further. "They're going on
vacation, too, Asuma-san said... You don't think they're following me, do
you?"
Naruto chewed
his lip for a few moments. "Well, at least you'll have Kisame there. He
looks like he can kick some serious ass."
They had finally
slowed down to a walk, but Naruto hadn't let go of Sasuke's wrist. It took a
moment for Naruto to orient himself, and he realized he had dragged them nearly
half a mile away from the apartment. There was a low rumble of thunder, and it
began to drizzle. Naruto pulled Sasuke to the doorway of a nearby abandoned
church to get out of the rain. There was barely enough room for the both of
them in the tight doorway, but there wasn't enough time to change locations as
the sky opened up and dumped torrents of rain.
Naruto let out a
low whistle. "Wow, that storm moved in fast..." He noticed Sasuke
shaking. "Hey, you all right?"
Sasuke nodded
curtly. "Of course, dobe." There was a flash
of lightening and another low rumble of thunder. Sasuke jumped and squeaked
before clutching the front of Naruto's shirt like his life depended on it.
"You're
afraid of thunder?" Naruto asked.
"Lightening,"
Sasuke whispered. "And I'm terrified."
Naruto wrapped
his arms around Sasuke and rubbed small circles on his back. "This storm
shouldn't last long," he reassured. "It rolled in pretty quickly, so
it should be gone soon and then we'll go home."
Sasuke mumbled
something into Naruto's arm.
"Sorry,
what?
I didn't catch that."
Sasuke looked
up, his dark eyes rimmed with pale pink. "It's Itachi's fault," he
whispered, "that I'm afraid of lightening. Whenever it would storm, he
would lock me out of the house until it stopped raining."
"That's
awful," hushed Naruto, tightening his grip around the smaller boy. "I
can't believe he would do something like that... Where were your parents?"
Sasuke tensed.
"Otou-san told me it was the only way to get over my fears. Okaa-san
didn't know about it. They adopted an 'Itachi knows best' mentality, thinking
he was acting for my interests rather than his own. He has that effect over
people, where they never believe he's acting of his own interests until it's
too late, and their wallet's empty and their heart's been crushed."
Naruto gently
pressed his lips to the top of Sasuke's head. "Don't ever believe for a
second that you're worth his time. You're better than that! You're--" He
dropped his head. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Sasuke looked up
at Naruto, but because of their close proximity and height, their lips met.
Each thought the other would back away, disgusted, but when neither moved for
several seconds, Naruto, emboldened, pressed their lips more firmly together.
When Sasuke pressed back, Naruto's hands slid downward and rested comfortably
on Sasuke's ass. Sasuke wound his hands in Naruto's blonde locks. He brought up
his left leg and wrapped it around Naruto, pulling their bodies flesh against
one another. He leaned backward until his back was pressed
against the wall, pulling Naruto with him. Naruto pressed his now hard cock
into Sasuke, who gasped and ground back, equally hard.
They heard
someone clear their throat a short way off, and the broke apart quickly, both
turning bright red. They glanced over and saw Kisame standing in the rain with
a large umbrella.
"Sasuke,"
he snapped. "You're leaving in eight hours. Don't you think you should go
home and get some sleep?"
Not knowing what
to say to Naruto, Sasuke merely nodded and accepted the other umbrella. He was
several steps away before glancing back at Naruto. "Are you coming,
dobe?"
Naruto growled.
"What's with this new nickname, jerk face? I'm not sure if I like
it."
Sasuke shrugged.
"So?"
Naruto ducked
under the umbrella and had to stand pressed against Sasuke to keep out of the
rain. However, it was awkward. Neither one wanted to say anything about their
passionate kiss in front of Kisame, but it grew more and more awkward the
longer they stayed pressed up against one another. Finally, Naruto couldn't
take it anymore.
"A--Ano sa, ano sa, Sasuke! I--I forgot! I promised Kiba I'd help
him--with Akamaru."
Naruto's stomach
wrenched when he spied the loneliness deep within Sasuke's eyes. "Oh...
Well, I'll see you later, then."
Naruto nodded.
He brushed his lips softly across Sasuke's cheek before disappearing into the
night and rain.

-

Sasuke didn't
make it to his room. He stumbled onto the couch and fell asleep immediately. Kisame
took the thick blanket from the back of the couch and draped it over Sasuke's
shivering form.
Itachi handed
Kisame a steaming mug of hot chocolate. "Where was he?"
Kisame smirked
before setting the mug down on the coffee table. Without warning, he shoved
Itachi against the wall and mimicked Naruto's previous position. "He was
right where you are."
"Oh?"
Instead of falling prey to Kisame's sexual advances, Itachi pushed him off and
stood over his brother. "I don't like how cocky he's gotten
recently."
Kisame froze
when he caught sight of Itachi's expression. "Itachi?
What are you planning...?"

-

Sorry, but I'm
with Naruto on this one: the zoo kicks some serious ass in the super rad
awesome fun time department. :) Not even kidding, the zoo is one of my favorite
places to go. I have a goal to visit at least one zoo in every state before I
die! So far, I've hit...two zoos, two states. Then again, I've also hit two
aquariums and Sea World, so...three states. Does that count? I had a nightmare
once that my mom promised she'd take me to the zoo but then she didn't. I woke
up crying. True story! Then I told my psychology class
about my dream. Don't tell your psychology class about your dreams.

Please review!! :D Reviews make me a very happy writer. :)
