Prologue

enjoy~!

This. Is. A. Drag. I don't even know why we let Ino and Sakura drive us to practice. They kept talking about that new singer, Temari. They were squealing and screaming while Ino tried to focus on the road. Tried being the keyword. Naruto was sitting on my right, playing with his goggles, Sasuke on my left staring out the window, Neji sitting in front of Naruto with his arms crossed and eyes closed while Chouji sat in the middle, munching loudly on another bag of chips. Tenten sat next to him and Hinata was squished with her. Why did all the girls have to come? I mean, it's out practice. Our as in me, Naruto, Sasuke, Neji and Chouji. Why are there girls you ask? Well, Sakura and Sasuke are going out, Naruto and Hinata's two year anniversary is coming up, Tenten and Neji are meant to be and Ino and Chouji are crazy for each other. And me? Me? I have no girlfriend. I don't want one either. They're such a drag.

"Shika, what's with the long face?" Ino asked, looking in the rear-view mirror at me as I frowned. I hate it when people call me that. "It's Shika-maru. Shika-maru." I said emphasizing the 'Maru'. She giggled and I scowled. Women are such a drag. And troublesome. A troublesome drag. Naruto reached out to pat my shoulder, his goofy grin on his face. Naruto was weird. I mean what kid has a tattoo of whiskers? But I never really say stuff like that in his face. Naruto doesn't have any parents nor relatives, but he hangs out at our houses every now and then. Sasuke has no parents either, but he does have a brother. However, they don't get a long very well so Sasuke lives alone or chills at Sakura's place. Neji and Hinata's family are super rich and don't really like other people. They're super full of themselves; well Neji is at least.

Ino and Sakura are the best of friends and not much is known about Tenten. Chouji is my best friend and he's just a normal kid like me. We're all normal kids. Sort of. Naruto pulled his bandanna off his neck and stuffed it into his pocket, fixing his goggles. You guys might be thinking where we're going right now. Snowboarding practice. Laugh all you want, but it's our lives. We're one of the best teams in Konohagakure and we're only five guys. Normal teams have like eight dudes on one team, but us, heh, we're fine with five guys. Ino came to a stop, all of our faces meeting the seat in front of us. "Nice driving." Naruto muttered as he rubbed his head. We practice everyday after school and all day on the weekends. Today was Friday and that meant we can stay all we want.

Ino's third cousin's girlfriend's sister's husband's dad's brother's son owns the place and let's Ino stay even though they don't know each other that well. Don't ask me. Ino has a large family. Hinata opened the door and was on the floor when Tenten pushed her out, Chouji helping them both up. Ino got out of the driver's seat and screamed, then Sakura screamed. I looked at where they were pointing and wanted to die. "Oh my God! That's Temari's newest poster! It looks so great!" Both Sakura and Ino squealed, hopping in place. The poster wasn't even that great. I mean, what girl has four pigtails? She wore a spaghetti strap shirt with lace at the end, holding the microphone to her glossy lips, staring at the people -well actually the camera that took the picture- with her free hand outstretched to take the fans.

Sakura screamed once more, reading what it said at the bottom as we opened the trunk, taking out our snowboards. "Ino! It says she's coming here!" Ino pushed Sakura out of the way and into the snow, reading what she had just said. "AH! NO WAY!" Ino squealed as Sakura nodded her head. Here we go. Naruto handed me my board; it was green on the bottom, a bunch of guy stuff on it -skulls, guns, y'know, that stuff- and took out his own. Sasuke tossed Chouji his and Neji took out his own. Neji had the simplest board out of all of us; it was just the Yin and Yang sign. Bor-ing. Sakura and Ino informed us that they were staying at the lodge and he just waved them good bye. Well I did.

Sasuke was grabbed by Sakura and kissed repeatedly, Naruto kissed Hinata's forehead, Neji and Tenten playfully punching each other before kissing, and Chouji and Ino were just at it. I 'ahem-ed' and the four couples pulled away from each other, blushing. I sighed loudly; I came to snowboard not watch my friends make-out with each other. I started up the hill by myself, holding my snowboard by my side. Sometimes, I wished I did have a girlfriend. I'm like the black sheep in the group. And sometimes I wish I didn't have a girlfriend. I heard somebody follow me up the hill and fall. I kinda guessed who it was.

"Hey, brah, you gotta wait up for us!" Naruto called as he brushed snow off his face. You call girls 'brah'. I turned around, seeing Naruto pick up his snowboard and jog up the hill. "You call chicks 'brah', Naruto. You call dudes 'bro'." I stated as he shook his head. "Nuh uh, brah. You can call anyone 'brah'!" He said as a matter of fact. I rolled my eyes. There was no point in arguing with Naruto. He always thought up ways to win the argument; stupid antics and dumb words. I swear sometimes, Naruto only wants to be right. Sasuke had his hands in his pockets with Neji following behind Chouji. Neji and Sasuke didn't really along. Hell, what am I talking about? He and Naruto hate each other. We finally made it to the ski lift, Chouji and Neji sitting together while Naruto bickered with Sasuke. I sat by myself with my board next to me. My ski left rocked in the wind, my legs swinging.

Naruto wore a helmet when he snowboards. It's funny. It's bright yellow and you can see it zooming down the mountain. I don't wear a helmet. I wear a hat like normal people. Naruto says if he doesn't wear a helmet, he'll get stupider. And I quote his words. Amen, Naruto. We got off the ski lift and looked at each other. Truth be told, we could all find each other in an avalanche. I mean, Chouji wears a bright green flak jacket. Sasuke is dressed head-to-toe in black. Neji was dressed in gray with a brown bandanna. Must I mention Naruto's hideously bright yellow helmet? And me, dressed in bright green and brown. And we all wore bandannas. I mean, if there was another team of five dudes -which I think can never happen- wearing the same thing, we have our bandannas with our initials on them. The letters are huge and bright, so they aren't that hard to spot.

Naruto put on his goggles, tied his bandanna, then strapped on his helmet. I almost laughed at how funny he looked. I fixed my own goggles and tightened my bandanna, repositioning my hat as well as the others. We took one look at each other then we sped down the steep hill.

Three hours later and we were down to our thermals. Naruto met me at the bottom, falling over from the impact. He started laughing as I smiled weakly, sitting down next to him. He took his helmet off and goggles, ripping the bandanna off his red face. "Dude, when I was going down the black diamond, I got a text from Ino and Sakura." He informed me as I furrowed my brow. Chouji came down after, tackling both of us as Neji came to a stop, pelting our faces with snow. "Shit, Neji!" Naruto exclaimed, spitting snow and rubbing his face. I stood up, helping the others up when we heard Sasuke call. "Oh shit." We all said as he rammed into us.

"Nice guys." Sasuke muttered, all of our limbs tangled together. I sighed, pushing myself away from the other four dudes painfully. Once untangled, Naruto pulled out his phone, all of us huddling over him. The text read:

To: naruto
From: Ino
Message: OMFG YOU GUYS WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS!
MY DAD GOT US FRONT ROW TICKETS TO TEMARI'S
CONCERT! AND BACKSTAGE PASSES! AAAAAAH!

Oh no. Naruto grinned at all of us, saying how much fun this would be. Yeah fun for them. Did I ever mention Ino's dad owns the chain of theatres all over Konohagakure?

AN: okay this was the first chapter :D how do you guys like it? continue or not? reviews reviews reviews! i need reviews to patch up the holes in my house D; oh and that 'brah' incident actually happened with me and my friend. he's a total skater and he snowboards so he has that funny accent. and we were fighting over whether or not you call chicks 'brah' or dudes 'brah' so he just started calling everyone 'brah'. and that helmet part of the story xD my same friend wears a yellow helmet... i think xD it's really funny. so anyways, i'm rambling. continue or no?
