Hi there, It's me again, Hikari! (Because insists on cutting off most of my name.) I hope you guys had a nice Christmas, and a Happy New Year! This is the final installment of Let's Play Pretend. T^T. sniff. It's really short because it's an epilogue, and not an actual chapter. I hope you enjoy it!

The young child raised his hand eagerly. His brown hair went down past his face. "Oooh! Ooh! Auntie Sakura? What happened next?"

The 24 year old giggled to herself. "You don't need to know just yet."

A chorus of disappointed moans came next from the four children.

"What happened to the wing?" asked three year old Mika, whose brunette hair resembled that of Tenten's.

"Yah," said Shu, "Tell me!"

"Oh, the ring?" Sakura said, rolling her eyes, "its right here."

She held out her hand, and there was the emerald on the classic onyx band. "Now go play, Sakura's tired." She leaned on the pillar of the dance hall, and rested her ring hand on her bulging belly as the four kids ran off to the floor where her friends were spending the evening. The spot light, however, was on the bride and groom. Sakura recalled, that, just hours ago, when Hinata revealed her dress, it had been Naruto's turn to faint. She smiled at the happy memory.

There was Neji and Tenten. Their two kids, Mika and Yoshino, were already bouncy little 3 year olds.

Shikamaru and Temari married a year ago. They have yet to conceive, but you can sense their connection whenever they look at each other. You can't help but go "auuu!"

Kiba and Miho had a daughter named Yuki. She was the oldest of the new generation, and didn't hesitate to take the handlebars of life.

Of course, Naruto and Hinata was the star of the show, because they were getting married. They didn't have any children yet, but Naruto was head over heels in love.

Sakura leaned farther back, her neck now exposed. Her son, Shu, was busy playing around with Yuki, Mika, and Yoshino.

"Beautiful…"

Sakura jumped. She looked around, but it was Sasuke at her side. She took a deep breath. "I think you would know better than to surprise a pregnant woman."

He just smiled, his eyes hidden behind his dark hair. "Whoever said I was talking to you?"

Sakura cocked her head.

"Isn't your mother beautiful?"

She smiled and scooched closer to Sasuke.

He bent his neck down, and kissed her. Once separated, Sakura rested her head upon Sasuke's shoulder and sighed.

"You know what?" She said, softly.

"Hm…" Sasuke asked.

"I don't think anything could ever get better than this."

The sun stooped farther down behind Konoha's hills, the new face of Hokage Mountain, looking over its town with loyalty and devotion.

Wahhhhhhhh! Only two pages! But…… beautiful... don't you think? I hope you enjoyed Let's Play Pretend! This story was only 20 chapters long, because it was my first big story, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't biting off more than I could chew.

Be sure to check my profiles up and Coming column for new multi-chapter stories coming your way from Hikari! Once again, thanks.

Quite sincerely this time,

S.
