They have been planning this trip for months, and today was the day that they were actually going! Sakura was getting out of the car, walking into the airport. She was able to see the other five that were accompanying her on the trip.

"Thanks mum! See you next week!" She gave her mother a quick peck on the cheek and rushed off towards her friends.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I had to wake my mum up, which is a nightmare in itself! Then she started making me do a checklist! I mean, I know I've got everything!"

"Thank goodness you're here! We were gunna leave without you 'cause the plane takes off any minute now! C'mon!" Her best friend dragged her by the wrist into the terminals to check in her luggage.

"Ino! She can walk you know!" Naruto chuckled while holding Hinata's hand. Hurling her rather large backpack onto the conveyer-belt that led onto the plane, they decided to have a look what gate they had to go to.

The pink-haired kunoichi looked up at the big screen and looked for 'ZAMBIA' printed on it, but when she found it; she let out a long sigh.

"Oh great! Just our luck! It's just gone and got itself delayed!"

"For at least an hour!" her blonde-haired team mate finished off for her.

"Great! Who wants to go shopping?" Ino asked, practically jumping for joy. Naruto and Hinata said they were going for a walk, so that just left Sakura, Ino, Sai and Sasuke. Ino grabbed Sakura's and her boyfriends (Sai) arms again and dragged them into Boots, with Sasuke trailing behind them.

"Why the hell do we need to go in here? They'll provide us with soap in the hotel."

"Honestly, Sai! You didn't bring any soap?" Sakura questioned, slapping her hand against her oversized forehead.

"We are here because somebody rushed me this morning so I couldn't put any make-up on," She said, staring accusingly at Sai, a hint of annoyance in her voice, "and while we're here you can go buy yourself some soap!"

"But I've got some at home and the hotel wi-"

"NOW, Sai!" Sai stomped off to the soap section, Sasuke following. He didn't really want to stalk around after the girls looking at eye shadow and lip gloss, did he?

"Couldn't you have stuffed your make-up in your bag?" Sakura asked.

"Nah. I've been wanting new for ages!"

"Oh…what time did you get here?" She asked, trying to make conversation.

"Half past two! Even Sasuke wasn't there yet!"

"Woh, that's a first…"

After ten minutes of choosing, Ino purchased two colours of eye shadow, mascara, lip gloss, and even blusher. Sakura just bought some cherry pink lip gloss. They met up with the two boys, who were waiting outside the entrance. Sai did after all buy some soap.

After going around nine more shops, Ino bought a new purple bikini, and treated Sakura to a pink one. Then there was an announcement that rang through the whole airport:

"Would passengers going to Zambia please go to gate eleven. Would passengers going to Zambia please go to gate eleven. Your flight is ready to depart. Thank you."

Sakura and Ino raced over to the gate, leaving Sasuke and Sai to trail behind them, not in the mood for running. Unfortunately, Sakura and Ino had to wait for the other two to catch up, as Sasuke had the tickets. Luckily Hinata had hers' and Naruto's, so they were alright.

On the plane, Sakura sat down next to Ino and Sai sat next to Sasuke behind them. The other two still hadn't turned up, and the girls were getting panicky.

"What about if they miss their flight? They can't go back home because Hinata's dad isn't picking them up until the end of the week! What are the gunna do-?"

"Calm down! Knowing Naruto, he'll come at the last minute." Sasuke reassured them, keeping his cool as always. Who wouldn't know Naruto better than his best mate?

The Uchiha was right; Naruto and Hinata did come at the last minute. They sat down behind Sasuke and Sai, with Sakura shouting over them to give Naruto a lecture.

When the flight took off, Sakura started to fall asleep, and didn't fight it. By the looks of things, Ino and Hinata were already sleeping. It was four o' clock in the morning! Sai was having a conversation with Naruto while Sasuke read a book about lightning jutsus.

As Sakura closed her eyes, the last thing she heard was Ino's soft, steady breathing and Sai asking:

"So Sasuke, how are you and Team Snake?"

Thinking of the wonderful holiday ahead of her, she fell into a deep sleep.

'Victoria Falls, here we come…'
