Authoresses notes:
Hanna: Well...the main authoress (Abby) for this fanfic is currently on vacation. She needs time to think things through a bit. She said that we can do a bit of editing. She is/was 16 years old when she wrote this, and back then...english wasn't her best subject. So she said until she lands back on her feet (in writing terms)
Lauren: So to put it in short, Abby is currently on vacation trying to get over her writers block and gave Hanna and I permission to edit what we feel is necessary to edit.

The ages are changed to better fit the story: Konoha 12/Suna- 16-17

Summary: Sakura's summer was going great. She's going to a very popular camp. Spending 2 weeks with all her best friends. Unfortunately on the down side...they have to share the lake with Camp Akatsuki. What's worse? There's something lurking in the shadows that isn't so friendly, and it's not the Akatsuki.
Sakura's POV
"Mom, I'm leaving now, okay?" I shouted from my room. I had just finished packing the rest of my bags, making sure that each one as packed correctly and neatly. I was a bit of a neat freak if I do say so myself. Everything had to be neat and tidy. But of course, there was always something to make sure that I never had my clean and neat freak ways. My younger twin sister, Sayuri. She was the exact opposite of me. I'm clean, neat, tidy, organized, and a tomboy; Sayuri is messy, a bit slobby, unorganized but she was a bit too...girly for my liking.
"Is Sayuri awake darling?" she called from downstairs. I sighed. I forgot that Sayuri was also going to the camp. Nothing against my sister, but she can be a bit...too dependent on others. I turned to my sister's room and knocked.
"Wake up and get ready, the bus is leaving in 30 minutes and we have to be there in 15 to beat the traffic" I heard the shuffling of feet, a bunch of thumps (probably stomping in her room), a soft cuss, and dressers opening and closing rapidly. I guess she was trying to find the camp gear that the Camp sent us: Sweater, sweatpants, and a shirt with the Camp name and Logo. I pulled my 2 bags down the hall and met my mother downstairs. She had a twinkling in her pine green eyes, her dark violet hair was in a lovely braid and rested on her shoulder.
"Is she awake Sakura?" mother asked. I nodded. "Breakfast is on the table sweetheart. Sayuri, hurry up or else no breakfast!"
I chewed silently at the dining table, looking at the picture of a happy family on the coffee table. Of course there was me and my sister, we were around 5 years old, standing right in front of our mother. Next to our mother was our father, who had an arm wrapped loosely around our mothers neck. A boy, around 8 years old, stood behind us, he was playfully putting Sayuri and I into a head lock. Then there was our dog, Bishop, who sadly, passed on a few years back.
Right now, it's just my mother, my sister and I who live together. Mother doesn't like to talk about what happened. She wouldn't tell Sayuri or me. However, being the curious type, I did a little research. I looked at mother as she scolded Sayuri for, once again, waking up late.
"Daddy, do you have to go work today?" a small, timid voice of a 8 year old asked.
"Yes, I'm sorry sweetheart" he said, gently patting my head "I'll be back in a week though, I promise"
"No fair. Nii-san gets to go with daddy" my sister said, pouting at them.
"Don't worry, you'll go in a few years" our brother laughed. We waved to them as they left for the airport, unknown to us that it would be the last time...
-
"Mommy? Why are you crying mommy?" I asked, walking over to the shaking figure as she continued to sob into her hands. "Mommy?". She looked up and tried to smile for me, I frowned "Don't smile if you don't want to mommy"
"Sorry Sakura. I'm sorry" she whispered over and over again.
"Mommy? Are you hurt mommy?" I asked. Sayuri was the one who told me Mommy was crying. My sister now clung to the fabric of my shirt as I continued to walk forward.
"Y-yes. Mommy's hurt" she looked at us, her eyes were puffy and...hollow. I didn't understand then what had happened. But the words she uttered broke my heart. "Sweeties, Papa and Nii-san aren't coming home". Sayuri had walked up from behind
"But they will come back, right Momma?" Sayuri asked, our mother and I barely heard the question.
"I don't know sweetheart. I just don't know"
"Sakura~! Let's go!" Sayuri said, yanking my arm and leading me to the car. "Bye mom, we'll be back in a few weeks"
"Be careful" mother said smiling. But I knew she was scared. Scared that the same thing would happen to me and Sayuri. "And take care of each other okay? Don't forget to write and call me". I walked up to her and gave her one more hug. It was the last hug for about 2 weeks.
"Bye mom" I whispered "I love you"
"I love you too sweetie" she smiled.
I hopped into the drivers seat after placing my bags in the trunk. Sayuri was busy fixing her hair. I looked in the rear view mirror, our mother was still on the front steps. I only smiled and looked at Sayuri. She nodded and hopped out of the passenger side and jumped into the back. I poked my head out of the rolled down window and called out.
"Mom, once more?" She only smiled, nodded and walked up to the car.
I waved to my mom as the bus was starting to pull away. I was surprised to see how many parents came just to see their child go off for about 2 weeks. Going to a well known camp was pretty pricey, but definitely worth it. The thing was, the camp was pretty hard to get into. All the space slots were always taken so quickly. I looked at the camp brochure again. Skimming pass the camp activities I read over before, I looked at the other details. Thankfully, this camp is well known and we were able to choose who to room with.
My bunkmates: myself, Temari, Tenten, Matsuri, and Rita
Sayuri's bunkmates: herself, Ino, Hinata, Maria, and Asami
The boys did the same. The Silent Types shared a cabin, The Loud Types shared a cabin, etc.
Each cabin only has enough rooms for 5 people, and a good few feet away from other cabins. There was an area assigned for Boys' cabins and one for the Girls' cabin area, on opposite ends of the camp. In the center was...well where all things can happen. At certain nights, there would either be a talent show, bon fire, cook out, story night, etc. There was also areas for sports events to take place. The picture of the lake was absolutely beautiful, there was like a mini beach near the shore line of the camp.
There were 15 cabins for the boys, and 15 for the girls. So in total, there were 75 boys and 75 girls, meaning 150 people. For 2 weeks. Of course, there also has to be an area for the staff too, which sat near the entrance of the camp. Looking at the map, it looks small, but we all know it feels a lot bigger in person.
I rested my head on the glass window, my iPod touch was held tightly in my hand. I had left one of the ear buds out so I'd be able to hear my friends' conversations.
"You excited Sakura?" I turned my head and smiled at the meek girl who sat behind me. Her pearl silver eyes were somewhat shimmering because of the bright sunlight. She was already wearing the camp sweater with jeans.
"I guess you can say that Hinata" I replied "I've never been to a camp before though"
"N-neither have I" she looked toward her cousin sitting beside her, who gestured her to sit correctly. She only nodded and did as she was told. I looked toward my left and nudged the sleeping brunette. She glared at me as I smirked at her annoyed face.
"Do you need something Sakura?" she asked.
"Someone to talk to Rita. No need to try and murder me with your eyes"
"I hope Naruto doesn't do anything stupid" Rita hissed, glaring at the blonde who was loudly poking fun at the silent, irritated Sasuke.
"EVERY BODY SING! The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round an-" He chimed happily
"SHUT UP NARUTO!" the loudness of the people had startled the poor blonde into submission and into hiding, anime tear were streaming down his face.
"Oh N-naruto-kun" I hear Hinata whisper from behind. I smiled.
Finally. We have arrived. And I was right, it appeared much larger than on the brochure.
After we got our assigned cabins, we parted ways with the boys to find our cabins. Unfortunately, we ran into a bit of trouble...well, she wasn't trouble, just so damn annoying as hell.
"Well, well, if it ain't Sakura with her little crew"
"What the hell do you want Watanabi?" I asked, glaring at the purple haired girl. She smirked as she approached with her 'posse' and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"Same as always Haruno. for you to stay away from my Sasuke-kun" I rolled my eyes.
"Sasuke, is like a brother to me Watanabi. To him, you are just an annoying fly that keeps coming back Wannabe" I hissed, causing her to glare at me with even more hatred.
"You'll pay for that, billboard brow!" She snapped. She pushed pass me with her little clones. I inwardly flinched at the childhood name.
"Shall we get to our cabins?" I asked, smiling at my friends, who heard the conversation.
"Wannabe is a bitch" Ino said "A bitch with tacky clothing and lousy hair extensions"
"Don't worry about it Ino" I smiled. When my bunkmates and I arrived at our cabin, we started to finally settle in, putting our stuff in the trunks and dressers. I placed a photo on my trunk and smiled. In the picture, was just me, my sister, and nii-san. Nii-san
"Nii-san! Nii-san!" a young girl wailed loudly
"I'm in the garden, Sakura" came the response. The crying 7 year old ran to the garden, accidentally bumping into her older brother.
"Nii-san, nii-san" I sobbed quietly. The 10 year old sighed deeply and pulled me closer to him.
"Why are you crying, Sakura?" he asked as Bishop lay still at our feet.
"The kids at school are making fun of me a-again" I cried.
"They're making fun of you?"
"Y-y-yeah. Calling me F-forehead girl and Billboard b-b-b-brow"
"Now Sakura, there isn't anything wrong with your forehead" he smiled reassuringly.
"B-But-"
"No buts Sakura. There's nothing wrong, trust me, okay? In a few years, I grantee boys will beat down the door just to date you." he smiled.
"Really Nii-san?" I asked, still sniffling "What would you be doing?"
"I'd be with Dad, ready to beat the boys down with a bat" he chuckled.
"-ura"
"Huh? Sorry, what were you saying Temari?" I said.
"I asked if you want to look around with us" she said.
"Um, yeah" I said.
So, that is the revised version of Chaotic Summer Camp. Other chapters will also be edited momentarily.
Lauren: So there were actually many changes we did to the story, which we hope Abby doesn't mind
Hanna: I don't think she will though, she's not the type of person to get upset over a few changes in the story.
Lauren: Anyways, if you never read this before, feel free to comment.
Ppyong~
