Naruto opened his eyes. He felt really rested. It took a second but everything that happened to him over the course of the morning came rushing back as if it was some vivid dream. A dream definitely was an apt analogy because the entire experience had seemed like a nightmare. Well most of it anyway…there was still that part at end…the part where Ty Lee caressed his cheeks…he really liked that. The fox ninja took in his surroundings. He wasn’t in prison anymore. Instead he was in a comfortable bed in what looked to be a very nice room. He wondered if maybe everything had been a dream after all. Maybe he was still in the hidden leaf village.

He sat up as he heard giggling outside the room. He watched the door open and Ty Lee walked in chuckling. She had changed her clothing and was now wearing a blue dress. Naruto was excited. Despite the fact that she was one of the people who Azula wanted to interrogate and torture him, she had been so friendly and sweet that Naruto was happy to see her. Just as he was about to run up and hug her, Naruto stopped confused. Another Ty Lee (also wearing a blue dress) had followed her into the room. She was followed by 4 more all dressed exactly the same way.

Naruto blinked in surprise. 6 Ty Lees? No Way! Maybe his vision was blurry. He did just wake up after all and he had taken in an unhealthy amount of foot odor. Naruto rubbed his eyes. It didn’t help.

The six Ty Lees circled him giggling.
“You’re cute” one of them said wrapping her arms around him. Another one playfully ruffled his hair.
“Wow his hair feels so soft.” She noted. “Almost like fur.”
“Oh really? Let me feel!!” said a third.
He felt a fourth Ty Lee snuggle against his arm.

Naruto massaged his forehead. He seriously needed to lie down.
