"Eh?"
I blink. Slowly, I pick up a clear marble, which had been nestled in my shelf full of paper. Three white marbles sat next to the clear one, but I ignored them at the moment, completely engulfed in a mini-flashback.
A flashback from a lazy summer day, over a year ago...
"Pocky!"
My two friends, Gin-chan and Squeechan, look up at me, completely surprised at my random outburst.
"Let's go get pocky! I want pocky!" I exclaimed.
Gin-chan, a girl with curly brown hair down to her mid-back and brown eyes shrugged. "Sure. What do you think, Squee?"
I looked at my other best friend, Squee, a girl who had light-brown hair similar to mine and brown eyes. "C'moooon!" I whined.
"Right." Squee said, sitting up.
Come to think of it, that was the first time all three of us were together.
An hour or so later, we returned from our venture. I not only had the fruits of pocky, but I also had obtained a Japanese-type soda. If I recall correctly, it was strawberry flavored.
The three of us sat on Gin-chan's floor, munching on Pocky and drinking the weird Japanese soda. The summer day was lazing away.
I shook the empty soda bottle. A clear marble rattled inside of it.
"I want it." I said aloud.
"Want what?" Squee asked. Gin glanced at both of us, too busy eating pocky to bother asking.
"The marble." I said simply, holding up the soda bottle and rattling it. The glass bottle caught sunlight and gleamed.
I chuckle at the thoughts of what happened after that.
Gin-chan opened the glass door, letting her two abnormally large and scary poodles out on to the deck. I followed her outside like a little lost puppy, clutching the empty soda bottle.
I looked over the railing into the yard. My arm rested on a wooden beam. I glanced at the wooden beam for a split second, and then, on impulse, slammed the glass bottle onto it.
Nothing.
With the five second goal of breaking the soda bottle in my mind, I smashed the bottle again.
Nothing.
Now angry, I swung with all my might, determined to break it.
A loud, shattering smash could be heard. Gin-chan immediately rushed over, as did Squee, who was laughing uncontrollably. Apparently, she heard and saw me smash the soda bottle when she was inside.
"It still won't come out!" I exclaimed, shaking the bottle, the marble still stuck stubbornly in the neck of the glass bottle. Gin-chan looked at me as if I was insane, which, I admit, wasn't too far from the truth.
I laugh again. Oh God, that was too funny...especially on what Gin-chan did afterwords, when I kept whining about the marble.
Gin-chan smashed the bottle with a hammer.
People really need lazy summer memories like those.
END
A/N: Dedicated to Squeechan and Gin-chan. Love you guys more then the world.
Why Shikamaru is lazy
Shikamaru sighed as he looked up at the clouds. He was lying down lazily and felt very bored. No training, no Choji, even Ino wasn’t around to bother him. He turned to his side and dozed off.
