YEAH. I STILL PLAY IT. And guess who finally grew up?
Part I: THE TWINS - Naruto III and Merryweather
Maybe its just that they're so darn pretty, but I honestly believe there's something about the two that makes me almost want to explore the heterosexual possibilities of brotherly love. Almost.
Naruto: 'Look, it's snowing!'
Before they can finish their snowman, the two hear a soft moaning sound and go to the edge of the forest to investigate.
Naruto: 'OMG what the hell is that!?!'
Merry: 'Its... its a sleeping prince!'
Naruto: 'Hey, you okay? Whatcha doing out here?'
'I could ask you the same thing.'
Merry: 'You look cold. Do you want some hot chocolate? Our butler c--'
Without bothering to let her finish the invitation, the mysterious boy in black gets up and walk away.
Naruto: 'H-hey! That's the wrong way! Kids aren't allowed in the forest!'
'...'
Naruto: 'I don't even know your name!'

Part II: Degrees of Separation
Time passed and seasons changed. Winter made way for spring. Spring blended into summer. Summer became fall -- which eventually turned into winter again.
And with it came the first wave of Children with Grand Destinies had grown into adolescence.
(THEN) Mitsuhiro the Chibi
(NOW) Mitsuhiro the Teen
Mitsuhiro's Best Friend
Hiro: 'Its been a long time, old friend! You've grown tall since last winter!'
Sasuke III: 'So have you.'
As the two childhood friends catch up, Hiro recounts his first encounter with the mysterious species called -- GIRLS.
Sasuke: 'Are you serious? You've seen one ALREADY?'
Hiro: 'It was a little bit more than that.'
Sasuke: 'Dude, I don't like the look on your face right now.'
'So... you remember the Hargreave twins?'
'...'
'The blonde ones? Brother and sister?'
'Maybe.'
'Anyway... the sister grew up HOT.'
'And you know what? She TOTALLY digged me.'
*rollseyes* 'I'm sure she did, Hiro.'
*grins foolishly*
'What?'
'I kissed her.'
'YOU DID NOT!'
'Okay. She kissed me.'
'Just like that?'
'Just like that.'
'She didn't even say, 'Hi, my name is...' '
'Nope.'
'She just -- '
'Yep.'
'And you --'
'Totally kissed her back.'
'-- choked, didn't you?'
'...'
'AH HA! I KNEW IT!'
'Dude, she freaked me out. She took my hand and said something like, 'Girls like me shouldn't be going to highschool alone." '
'Wait, isn't her father the one with the big---'
'Mansion. Old money. Hell yeah.'
'You totally choked.'
'Shut up. It was the right thing to do!'
'Let me get this straight: YOU turned down Merryweather Hargreaves.'
'... I... no?'
'YOU broke the heart of Merryweather Hargreaves.'
'... when you put it THAT way ...'
'YOU are starting highschool as the one who broke the heart of Merryweather Hargreaves.'
'OMG. I'm going to be shunned by the entire highschool population before classes even begin!'
'It's going to be a very lonely 4 years.'
'I better fix this!'
'ASAP, my friend.'
'... before her brother does something about it.'
Part III: 'The snow covers all mistakes and dirty deeds to be done.'
Naruto: 'Merry, this is Satoshi. Toshi, my sister Merryweather.'
Toshi: 'Wow. Naruto told me a lot about you, but he failed to mention how gorgeous you really are.'
Being the good brother that he is, Naruto tries to hook his sister up with a GOOD guy he would approve of. Listening to mushy, flirty talk, however, was not something he had in mind for a way to spend his saturday afternoon.
Naruto: 'Hmmm, I wonder if there are any other girls who grew up hot over the past year...'
Alas, even good intentions can turn out to be really REALLY bad choices in disguise.
Hiro: 'Toshi.'
Toshi: 'Hey! What's up?'
Hiro: 'Uhm. Merryweather, hi.'
Merry: '... Satoshi, do you know him?'
Toshi: 'Well, yeah. He's my brother.'
Hiro pulls his brother aside quickly and tries to explain the situation.
'Dude, you gotta let me make it up to her.'
'I don't know, bro. I think I kind of like her...'
'No! NO YOU CAN'T! My entire highschool existence depends on her liking me again!'
Meanwhile...
Sasuke: 'That guy... why does he seem familiar?'
Sasuke: 'That's a very beautiful scarf.'
Merry: 'Why... ahh, thank you.'
Sasuke: 'May I?'
Merry: 'You may {prince ♥}!'
Hiro: 'Sasuke!'
Naruto: 'It's him! OMG, the dark prince from that winter morning. I... my heart is beating so fast!'
And before he could even process what he's doing, Naruto's legs bring him right up to Sasuke and down on one knee.
Naruto: 'I know its kind of sudden and maybe it runs in the genes but... ever since that day in the forest... I love you!'
OUCH. BURN.
(Later that evening)
Sasuke: 'Tcht! What an idiot. Saying something like that when we don't even know each other. Like brother, like sister, I guess.'
Sasuke: *shivers* 'Damn. Its getting cold.'
Sasuke: 'Come on! Dad, where the hell are you?'
Sasuke: 'I'm going to freeze to death at this rate...'
DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!
Ohh, drama. You have been missed.
