Wide green eyes stared around at all the people.  At the colorful displays, the pretty pictures, the delightful-smelling booths.  The fair.  Truly a wonderful place.

So of course, it took four year old Haruno Sakura no time at all to get lost.  At first she didn’t notice, not even when she begged a vendor for food and he gave it to her, saying she should wait right there for a few minutes while he made a call.

Happily, she munched on the gifted food and wandered off again, forgetting the man’s request.  Half an hour later, her legs hurt and she realized she couldn’t find her mommy.  Where was Mommy?  Or Daddy?

That’s how the boy found her.  Crying on a bench at the side of the street, being pestered by some old lady.  He walked right up, frowned at the lady and said, “I’ll take Haruno-chan back now!”

She remembered those lovely dark eyes, the short hair, the bright smile he turned on her.  “Uchiha-kun?” she mumbled.

He beamed.  “Haruno-chan!  I’ll take you to Sasuke-chan now, too.  And we can find your mommy.”

She couldn’t have been happier.
