Okay. This is the "updated" Chapter One. Technically, it's the new Chapter One, and it's shorter and much more different...because my OLD one got DELETED. I don't know how, I don't know why, I don't know who or WHAT did it, but any ways, it sucks. The new chapter.

So...the usual spheal. A real-live incident that happened to me propelled me to write something about it, so here's the fanfic. I mean, obviously it won't be exactly like the real-live incident because the CHARACTERS are apparently different (except Neji! He's always real!! Always, always, always!)

(insert Neji here)

Neji: It "sucks?" Use a better adjective.

Lumberry: Well, I don't know how, because my brain was sucked out due to your Jyuuken.

Neji: (starts laughing).

Naruto: O.O

Lumberry: Hey, you're not supposed to come out until Chapter One!

Neji: (stops laughing) (does the creepy English voice) This IS chapter one.

Lumberry: And why did you start...

Neji: T.T

Lumberry: ...what.

Naruto: …WHAT?

Neji: It's obvious.

Naruto: Why?

Lumberry: Yeah, WHY?

Neji: Lumberry - doesn't - own - Naruto - and - start - the - freaking - chapter.

Lumberry: Hey! The disclaimer can only take up two hundred and twenty words so you can still say something you know, Neji! There are eight words left, so you can actually keep -

Lumberry skipped down the snowy sidewalk, ponytail bouncing, violin swinging, careful to avoid any dangerous slippery substances...

She head a call behind her, turned around - and the klutzy writeress promptly slipped in doing so.

"HEY! Is that a violin?!"

She got up. "Yeah," she snapped at the blond ninja - what was his name again? - who was grinning cheekily. "Yeah...so?"

"Let me see!"

"No." But it was too late; he took the violin and unzipped its case. Easily the top opened and he stared down - amidst an empty pack of Teddy Grams and a pair of black socks was a brown, dusty, full-sized violin.

"What are you - " She towered over him, glaring, and then claimed her instrument and coninuted down the road, her ponytail not-so-bouncy now.

"Hey - " Naruto started. "Where...are you going?"

Lumberry did't look back. Naruto heard her sigh, "The Dance Contest."

"Really?! What's the violin for?"

"The Dance Contest."

"When?"

"Um...now?" She glanced at her watch. "Crap! It's starting!" Naruto crashed into her.

"I'm late!"

"Ooookay..." he tripped and fell flat on his butt.

"You dobe." Sasuke materialized out of nowhere. Lumberry sighed and massaged her temples.

"Well, your hair looks like a chicken's a - "

Sasuke stopped. "Shut up, dobe!"

"It does.

"Does not!"

Meanwhile Lumberry was searching in her pockets frantically, muttering, "Where is it? I know it's here somewhere..." Finally she drew out a want. "We won't be late after all!"

Two flicks, and a, "To the Movie Theatre!"

Neji: That was very, oh, what was it now? SUCKY.

Lumberry: It got deleted! I'm so sad!! Sadness to all of you (NaruHinaLuver, especially!!) that got their stories deleted. It's just sad.

Neji: Nice use of adjectives.

Lumberry: Well, I could be sarcastic right now, like you, but I don't feel lke typing anymore on this stupid first chapter. The second chapter is much better.

Naruto: BELIEVE IT!!

All: Review!!!

and Neji: Or else I'll eat your cookies.
