"Ra-men ra-men ra-ra-ra-men ra-men ra-men ra-me-men!" Naruto sang happily, ode to joy style as he bound happily across campus to the cafeteria. It was Friday, his favourite day of the week not only because it signified the weekend was with reach but it was also half-off ramen day in the main cafeteria at the university! Nothing could break his spirit on today. 'Not clouds, not Sakura pushing him away, not homework, and especially not that damn Uchiha.' He thought as he spotted the dark haired boy at the end of the cafeteria line.

Determined not to be put off his good mood, Naruto stepped in line behind the guy and did his best to ignore the standard glare he received for being anywhere within fifty feet of the bastard. He would take it personally if ol'duck-butt didn't do it to everything. Naruto still swears he saw the Uchiha glare his beansprout to death back when they were in grade school. Pushing these thoughts from his mind Naruto focused on the heavenly aroma ahead of him. As he came up to the sweet old lady behind the counter he noticed the hand-written sign saying they were out of ramen.

'This can't be happening!' Naruto screamed internally. The sound of the sweet old lady laughing broke him from his inner turmoil. He looked at her questioningly. "I know you, you silly boy. Here every day asking for the same thing, that's why I saved two bowls just for you." She smiled sweetly passing them over the counter. Naruto could have kissed her as he happily took the tray she handed him. "Thanks lady, you have no idea how awesome you are right now!" He said flashing her one of his most dashing smiles before heading to the cashier.

After paying for his food Naruto scanned to room for the tell-tale red and green that stood out so well from the crowd. "Naruto, over here!" He heard someone yell on the other side of the cafeteria. Bingo. "Hey Lee, Gaara, what's crack-a-lackin'?" He asked taking a seat next to the red-head. "It is wonderful! Friday's are great. Double PEDS 203 with Gai!" Lee cheered. "Gaara, what about you?" Naruto asked. "Nothing really. I've got PSYCO 323 and 327 with Iruka this afternoon." He said nonchalantly. "Sounds interesting, I myself have DRAMA 150 with Anko right after lunch! I've always felt the stage called to me!" Naruto said hoisting up his bowl of ramen to pose Hamlet style. It would have worked too, except for the person blocking the way who was now wearing said ramen.

Naruto who hadn't been looking sat frozen as he watched Lee's eye widen, Gaara even looked interested in the proceedings. 'Ah, man. Who the hell did I hit?' Naruto thought nervously. Compiling his best I'm-sorry-and-you-should-forgive-me-for-it smiles he turned to the un-intended target. "He-he, sorry about that . . . Sasuke?" *CRUNCH* Naruto had no time to think on what was happening as Sasuke gave him a good right hook before storming off.

SASUKE'S POV

'Today's the day Uchiha! It's been almost five years and you haven't done anything. No more being a coward!' Sasuke thought glaring at his sandwich so hard it was starting to toast. He stood up determinedly from the table and strode over to wear the blonde boy and the other two freaks were sitting.

He was just about to open his mouth, when all of a sudden a bowl of ramen came flying at him. Standing in complete shock, the dobe still didn't know who he had hit. He turned around with that adorable little smile but Sasuke was way-beyond-pissed. When the blonde one spoke, that voice, Sasuke snapped and unleashed a fearsome right hook onto his assailant before turning and stomping away to hide his face, which was now red with embarrassment.

Finally making it out of the cafeteria Sasuke realized he still had noodles all over him and started picking them off angrily. 'Stupid dobe, stupid ramen, stupid shirt, stupid timing, stupid . . . stupid sky.' He thought, wondering how he could back at that blonde idiot for what he did.

NARUTO'S POV

'Ah man, he looks pissed.' Naruto coward somewhat as he watched the raging Uchiha nearly run right over a small, shy looking girls. Just as he was thinking he should get up and go after him he was distracted by a new addition to their table. "Crikey, it's the ever elusive engineering student, one of the rarest specimens at KU, only seen in the social environment a handful of times per year. We need to approach with caution so as to not scare him off." Naruto said prodding Shikamaru with his fork. "Knock it off Naruto. I had a class that got postponed so I thought I should grab something to eat for once." Shikamaru growled. "Good to have you here pal." Naruto said slapping him on the back and making a mental note to go apologize to Sasuke later.

"Hey has anyone seen Kiba or Chouji anywhere?" Naruto asked. They usually always had lunch together. "Chouji has an extra-long block today, said they got some professional coming in to do some demos." Shikamaru said through bites of food. "Uhuh, and Kiba?" he prompted. "How should I know, I'm not his keeper." Shikamaru droned. Naruto was about to argue when, speak of the devil, Kiba sat down nervously, looking around. "Hey Kiba!" Lee greeted and Kiba nearly jumped a foot out of his chair. "Whoa man. Chill, you look like you just robbed a bank." Naruto said and Kiba laughed uneasily. "You didn't rob a bank did you?" Naruto asked, concerned at Kiba's weird behaviour.

Before he could answer the front of his sweater gave a little yip, and a furry white head poked out. "Uh Kiba, why did you suddenly sprout another head?" He asked, eyeing the fluffy protrusion. "Ok, don't tell anyone, but he was just so adorable, and they were going to put him down you know, just cause they had one too many dogs, there's nothing wrong with him so I just couldn't let them do it." He said smiling at the dog inside of his jacket. Everyone had stopped to look at the dog who was proceeding to climb onto the table. Lee reached out to pet it and it almost took his hand off. "Ok now that that's sorted out, why exactly is he here?" Shikamaru asked eyeing the dog warily. "I just have to keep him hidden until after two o'clock then I'll have the time to take him home. I was kind of wondering if maybe one of you guys could watch him for me while I'm in class." Kiba pleaded. When no one looked ready to come forward Naruto sighed and agreed to take the dog, his class wasn't really all that important today anyways. "Thanks a bunch Naruto." Kiba said ecstatically, dropping the dog into Naruto's lap before jetting off to his class.

Noticing the time, the other three left quickly as well, leaving Naruto alone at the table. "Well . . . uh . . . you, what shall we do?" Naruto asked, looking at the dog, the dog looked back. 'Well, I did need to go find Sasuke to apologize for earlier.' Naruto thought, eyeing the dog. "Come on, let's go see if Sasuke likes dogs." Naruto said, tucking the pup underneath his arm, and heading for the exit.

Ganeshi: That wasn't all bad . . . . was it?

Sasuke: Are you kidding, that was terrible, I was barely in it!

Gaara: Like you have the right to complain, I had one line! You got an entire section devoted to you.

Ganeshi: It's ok Gaara-kun, I'll try and give you more screen time in the future.

Naruto: Hey Sauske, what's up with this part in the middle?

Sasuke: Shut . . . kill . . .

Kiba: Has anyone seen Akamaru. I can't find him.

Shikamaru: No one cares about your dumb dog, gah this is such a drag.

Ganeshi: Best to end things here *dodges random flying projectile* . . . uh reviews welcome, valid criticisms even more so. Don't want to hear about my grammar or punctuation though, seriously.
