[007 ☿] Dream a little dream
[It's been a rainy dream, as Mizuno Ami (aged seven) walks home. Her backpack looks quite plump and full, probably due to the extra books she brings to have something to focus on during lunch
( Read more... )
[ Naruto was standing behind her--though he was dressed in attire different that normal. Just a plain orange t-shirt and white cargo shorts. He had a backpack, and he looks a little wet. He had been running home, but now his socks and sneakers were soaked so suddenly Naruto felt less inclined to run. But then, there was a little girl... ]
[ He liked kids. And normally kids like him, so hopefully he didn't scare her or anything. ]
[ But his smile was infectious. ]
I could give you a good push'ttebayo!

What's your name?
[She hadn't seen him around this area... She probably shouldn't talk to a stranger, but there were people around she did know so it should be safe, shouldn't it?
Though she had to admit, times like this it'd be nice if Mama was around. Just to be sure of things.]

[Hmmm. He seems nice, really. Not threatening. And the idea of being able to swing sure is tempting... And it's nice that he thought to offer.]
Will you really push me?

Okay! Do you want just like, kinda high, or like, super high so you're flying! [ but not flying out of her seat. that would be bad. ]

People can't fly. Except in airplanes.
[She smiles a bit timidly after this pronouncement.]
But I'd like going very high. It would almost feel like it.

[ Naruto hooked his fingers onto the seat of the swing. he had his own reason for wanting to push her. long ago, Naruto used to swing on a little wooden swing, tied to a big tree. His toes barely touched the ground. ]
[ But there would never be anyone to push him. ]
Lets go! Whoo! Up, up, up! [ With each cheer, Naruto lifted Ami's swing, back, and higher and higher, until he was almost holding her over his head. ] Take off! [ with a small push, he released the young girl's swing, allowing gravity and his momentum to take its toll ]

A person with wings would be an angel. Or a fairy.
[The seriousness is soon lost as Naruto swings her higher and higher. Ami kicks her feet randomly as she sails through the air, not trying to pump the swing now but simply to enjoy the height and motion.]

You're really moving dattebayo!

She wants to ask to go higher, but it feels rude when he's already doing this for her, so she doesn't. Instead, she pumps her legs for real again, gaining a bit more height.]
I can push you next, if you want!
[He might not get far, but she can do it!]

Hey, you want to fly? [ he was grinning now, wide. ]
You wanna fly with me?

People can't fly! [She may be young, Naruto, but really. She knows reality and not-reality.]

Rules, shmules! I'm Konoha's #1 maverick! [ he wasn't going to let a silly thing like rules and gravity hold him down. Why? He was dreaming! He was dreaming in some little girl's dream, and while that was a lot of strange... confusing words, whatever! if he wanted to fly, he was gonna damn well fly. ]
[ Naruto got on the swing beside her. he started pumping his legs, kicking off from the ground, and he was quickly at Ami's height. he knew if he asked, she'd get scared, so he quickly grabbed her hand, grinning. ]
Here we go! Hope you brought your wings!
[ he knew he probably sounded insane, but Ami wasn't going to have a choice in the matter. And suddenly, Naruto jumped out of his swing, and he brought Ami with him ( ... )

OK, flying was definitely a good time not to follow the rules anymore. She lets out a quick, scared noise when Naruto grabs her and she thinks they're going to fall, she's sure they're going to fall... and then they don't. They fly.
Her face lights up immediately with the incredulous wonder of the slow-motion, dreamy sensation.]
You were right! You were really really right!
Reply
Your wings must have worked! [ he grins, but then think about it. What if the little girl woke up and tried to fly on her own, thinking it was real and got seriously hurt?! ] Uh, but don't try flying without me'ttebayo.

But that it's pretty fun to fly in dreams.]
How can you fly? Are you magical? [After all, the evidence of something magic is right here in front of her.]
