[ When does she not read, that's the real question. ]
Today is an important holiday. This one is called Mother's Day and I think even you can figure out what that means. I've left some extra P$ I've had stashed in your pack so you better treat her well today or else.
[ She'll find out if he doesn't. ] Don't waste it all on food either.
Thanks, Sakura-chan. [He already has a decent amount of money though, so... hey. He might give it back, or use it to buy her something nice too. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.]
[ Oh, he's awake. You think she might know his sleeping schedule better than most others, but getting up early in the morning is a habit of her's she won't be able to shake for a while. There's a lot of water in the background, but she seems to be sitting up high somewhere. A roof maybe? ]
Yeah, it is. [ Then he's asking her weird questions like that. It doesn't surprise her--he's never had a chance to give his mother a gift before. ] Um, I'm not sure. For mother, we usually gave her flowers and breakfast in bed on her birthday. Sometimes we'd go out to eat somewhere nice...
Oh! You should get her something to wear. [ A nod. ] We're kind of limited with clothing here, aren't we? It doesn't have to be anything big, er, probably best to not try a dress or anything. If you get it a size too large, she might take offense.
Something for her hair? [ Kushina has a lot of it. ] A clip?
[At least she probably knows his sleeping schedule (or waking schedule) pretty much depends on what he's got going on that day, or how excited he is for it. Since this was going to be his FIRST GYM BATTLE day, he sure was up at the crack of dawn for it 8|]
A hair clip.. yeah, that'll work! And I should get some flowers or something too, right?
I mean I could cook food instead, but I only really know how to cook ramen, and Mom loves ramen, but she probably doesn't want it for breakfast y'know?
[ Likely--it'll take Sakura some time to adjust to a "normal life". Sleep doesn't come easy to her even with allies, but what's talking about her problems when Naruto has a bunch of stuff to do today!! ]
Yes, you could even coordinate them to--er, you don't know anything about flower arrangements, do you? If you need my help, I guess I could come along.
You could make ramen for lunch if you really want to, but that might be better worked out with your father first.
[ Laughing softly to herself as she listens. Some things never change no matter where they are and this serves as a relief. To have Naruto behave this way really sets her mind at ease and helps draw her back in to a normal life.
She'll listen for a few seconds longer before cutting the call. ]
