"So..?"

Naruto raised a brow as Sakura posed in front of him with an expecting look.

"What?" He asked, a little to insensitive for her taste, making a tick mark appear on her forehead.

In the newly built Senju Park, Naruto was just peacefully scanning over his notes for his upcoming exams underneath a tree's shade, when suddenly, his pinkette friend stood in front of him.

Forcing a smile, Sakura clenched her fist and asked "Are you really not gonna leave any comment?"

"Uh..." Did he forget to say his opinion or something? He was pretty sure he did everything on his list before reviewing...

"Let me give you a clue..." Sakura said in a dangerously low voice as her eye twitched "NEW LOOK!!!!"

Naruto squinted his eyes and studied his teammate. Short hair. Red dress. Black gloves...

His blue eyes suddenly sparkled in wonder, "Did you get a new headband?!"

"HOW DARE YOU!!!"

"I'm sorry!!" Naruto cried as he backed into the tree "I don't know! I'm stupid, dattebayo!"

Sakura had to use all of her self control not to scream 'shanaro' and punch the guy, destroying the entire park in the process.

"Come on!" She whined as she stomped her feet "Don't you at least think I look a bit more womanly?!"

She definitely thought she made a huge change.

Since she turned eighteen, she decided that she would do a little makeover. She's been trying to catch up with the trends lately.

Side bangs and obi pouches. Tenten and Temari were rocking the look lately, so Sakura thought she'd give it a try.

And to be honest? She thinks she's gonna keep her hair like it. Makes her look with a sense of maturity.

Naruto only pursed his lips, remembering the last time this happened, she literally poured her anger on him.

With a sigh of frustration, the Haruno twisted the blonde's ear and marched off with him.

"He-hey-hey! Itai-tai-tai!!!" Naruto screamed as he followed.

The duo walked down the busy street, being greeted with large smiles for Naruto.

"Hinata's gonna be so upset when I tell her I barely studied today" Naruto grumbled as he rubbed his swollen ear "And I'm telling her that I blame you, Sakura-chan"

"Then don't tell her" Sakura said in a matter-of-fact tone, making the blonde gasp and yell "When she asks tomorrow when she comes back what I did today, I oughta tell her-ttebayo! I would never lie to her!"

The pinkette giggled softly.

"Everything surely is changing, huh?"

The Uzumaki raised a brow as he looked down to her, "What do you mean?"

Emerald green eyes looked up at ocean blue ones.

She smiled.

"Well, for one..." She said as she pointed at Naruto, making him groan and say "You're being so cryptic lately, Sakura-chan!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! You're simply too slow!" She fired back "At least that stupidity of yours never changes!"

"Oh! If it isn't Sakura and Naruto"
