The thing about this piece is, I don't think it makes any sense at all. So if you're a very sensible person, you should read this, coz then it might boost your senseless... ness. Anyway, enjoy!
A/N:I do not own Naruto, which really sucks, because then I would be rich. But I don't. The end.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Tenten sat, thinking.
Damn, I really like camping, but Mom and Dad won't let me go alone, and I don't know who to ask to go camping with me! Wait... yes, I do! I could ask Neji, and Lee, and Hinata, and Kiba, and Shino, and Kiba, and Ino, and Shikamaru, and Chouji, and Sakura, and Naruto, and Sasuke, and Gaara and Temari and Kankuro if they feel like it! It would be like a little get-together in the woods! And we could stay out for a week if we don't have any missions and toast marshmallows and sing songs and... oh, what am I thinking about it for? I gotta go ask everybody! Tenten got up and ran out the door at lght speed, about to ask the first person she met to go camping with her an some pals. (See, I told you this would be a senseless fanfic...)
Naturally, the first person she met was Rock Lee, who was running laps around the village in order to impress his idol, Gai.
"TENTEN-CHAN! HELLO! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?" Lee called to her, skidding to a halt.
"I'm fine, Lee, but I was wondering, would you like to go camping in the woods tomorrow? My family has this little clearing set up that we always go camping in, and I wanted to know if you wanted to come."
"OF COURSE! THE SUNSHINE OF YOUTH WILL ALLOW ME TO DO IT! BESIDES, IT IS GOOD FOR MY WILDERNESS SURVIVAL ABILITIES! I WILL GO CAMPING WITH YOU, TENTEN-CHAN! LET US MEET BY THE GATES OF THE VILLAGE TOMORROW AND THE SUNSHINE OF YOUTH WILL FOLLOW US AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE SAFE!"
"Oookaayyy... thanks again, Lee. See you!" Tenten ran down the streets, looking for a few more of her friends. Aha! Ino and Shikamaru.
"Hey! Ino, Shikamaru!" Tenten yelled. They spun around, looking for the source of the voice. Their eyes passed over every face but Tenten's. She sweatdropped.
"Guys!" Tenten said again, waving her arms. This time they saw her.
"Oh, hi, Tenten. What's up?" asked Ino. Shikamaru looked at them talking, then up at the clouds, and started daydreaming.
"Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I am the ruler of the Earth!" cried an all-powerful Shikamaru. "Nothing can stop me! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that!" called a voice. Shikamaru looked at where it came from. "Naruto..."
"Yes! And you are not the ruler of the Earth, coz I am the ruler of this village! I am the Hokage!" Naruto yelled in triumph.
"You're right. You are the ruler of this village!" Shikamaru raised a hand, and changed Naruto into a six-inch plastic ruler.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"SHI-KA-MAR-U!" Tenten sceeched in his ear. "DO-YOU-HAVE-A-MISSION-SOON?"
"Wha...? Oh, no. I'll go camping with you, sure." Shika said, snapping back to reality.
"Good. Meet me next week, and bring some camping supplies. We'll be by the gates of the village. See ya then!" Tenten ran off again, bound and determined to find all her friends and ask them if they wanted to come or not. Then (of course), she ran into Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.
"Guys, will you-"
"No." said Gaara.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" Tenten roared, so hard that the Sand Siblings hair blew back and thier clothes rippled in Tenten's sudden outburst. They looked like this: O.O O.O O.O
"Okay. What do you want to say?" Ever since the One-Tails had been taken out of Gaara, he'd been a lot nicer - and scared more easily - but he was still not very tolerant.
"Well, see, I'm goin' camping up in the woods, and thought that maybe you guys might want to go? Some others'll be there."
"What on Earth makes you think we'd want to go up in a dirty forest and stay there and sleep in tents and toast mashmallows?"
"Aww, c'mon, Gaara," said Temari. "I think you'd enjoy it. Besides, you could sleep in your sand if you want to. It'd be a good experince."
"No."
Temari sighed. "We could always go home and watch Barney and Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street..."
"As I said, what could be more fun?" He blurted. "When do we go?"
"Saturday, 9:00 AM, meet me by the village gates." Tenten said, her face glowing in triumph.
"'Kay, see you then, Tenten. But Kankuro can't make it; he's gonna be on a mission." said Temari.
"Okay." Tenten called back, running off.
"Were you really going to force me to watch Barney?" asked Gaara suddenly.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Things continued like that for a while, until Tenten had asked everyone she'd wanted to ask about the trip. Then she went home, and made up a list of who was coming, what was needed, if they had their own camping gear, ect. In the end, it looked like this:
People Coming:Rock Lee, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Gaara and Temari of the Sands, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Uchiha Sasuke.
Suppiles Needed:six tents, twelve cups of ramen, lighter, hatchet, kindling, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, two jumbo bags of marshmallows, ten cans of soup, flashlight, shovel, weiner dogs, weiner dog buns, water canteens, sleeping bags, spare blankets.
Date: Saturday, July 8th to Saturday, July 15th.
Time: 9:00Am
Forecast: Mostly sunny, some clouds and a 70 chance of rain on Tuesday.
"Hm. That's about it!" said Tenten when she'd finished. Then she went ot bed and waited for the big day.
OoOoOoOoOoO
"Dang, Shikamaru and Naruto still aren't here and it's 9:17 already!" Temari said angrily. "If they don't get their asses over here in the next ten minutes, there will be hell to pay!" Everyone shrank away from Temari at that.
"Ahum... please calm down, Temari..." Sakura said timidly.
"FINE!" the older girl yelled, then she huffed and crossed her arms. Finally, Naruto and Shikamaru came sprinting down the road. So fast, in fact, that-
"WE CAN"T STOP! LOOK OUT!" cried Naruto. They dashed headlong into Lee and Hinata. Hinata and Naruto both turned deep shades of red, seeing as their mouths were crashed together (I've always wanted to do something like that). Everyone else was shocked.
"Dobe!" yelled Kiba. He reached down and yanked Naruto off Hinata, whose ears had steam flowing from them, that's how embarrased she was.
"GYAH!" cried Naruto, flying into a tree. Everybody sweatdropped.
"Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... Let's go..." said Tenten nervously.
"Thank god..." muttered Temari. During the trip up to the campsite, it was quite silent, with everyone focusing on carrying their loads on their backs, except for Tenten, who was blabbering on about the camp and how much fun they were going to have.
"...And I packed some scary stories, so that we can read them tonight, and I have some marshmallows, and chocolate, and grahm crackers, so that we can make s'mores, and..."
By now, everyone wanted Tenten to shut up.
"TENTEN, SHU-"
"We're HEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!" Tenten cried. "Everybody pitch up your tents. We can put two in a tent."
"WHO'S GOING TO BE IN WHICH TENT, TENTEN-CHAN?" asked, or rather yelled, Rock Lee.
"Ummm..." Hmm, I guess a little matchmaking can't hurt. "Ino and Shikamaru in the red tent, Sakura and Sasuke in the blue, Lee and Kiba in the green, Naruto and Hinata in the black/purple, Gaara and Temari in the tan/orange, and Neji and I will go in the gray."
"OKAY, TENTEN-CHAN!" Everyone ran around, setting up their tents. Tenten finished first, since she was good at it, so she went around helping everyone else while Neji tried to start a fire. When it was finally going, the last of the tents had been pitched, and the inhabitants were setting up their sleeping bags and food. When most of them were done, they came outside and at around the fire, trying to keep it going.
"Hey, where's Shika and Ino?" Sakura asked suddenly.
"Hm... I dunno." Suddenly, they heard a yell from the red tent.
"SHIKAMARU! YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY EXPECT ME TO LET THIS SLIDE!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just-"
"NO BUTS! I AM OUTRAGED! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?"
"I'M SORRY IF I OPENED YOUR BAG AND SAW YOUR TAMPONS! I HAD NO IDEA-"
"GO AHEAD AND SCREAM IT OUT FOR ALL THE OTHERS TO HEAR, WHY DON'T YOU?"
"INO! I MEAN IT! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HAVING YOUR PERIOD! GOD!" Shikamaru stormed out of the tent, followed by Ino, who was steaming. They went farther out into the woods, and long strings of curses could be heard.
"Holy shit..." muttered Kiba.
"Holy shit's shit..." Temari whispered.
"Was... was that Ino?" asked Sakura. "The Yamanaka Ino with blue eyes and blonde hair? That Yamanaka Ino?"
"Yes. I think..." Kiba said. Everyone else just stared in the direction of the shouting like this: O.O
Finally, after about 20 minutes, they came back. Ino's face was red and Shikamaru had a large and considerably swollen mark on his face.
"I know you heard. But if one of you says a word about this, bad things will happen to you."
"Define "Bad Things." said Naruto shakily.
Ino's face loomed before him, looking extremely scary all of a sudden. "Falling off a ten-thousand-foot cliff," she whispered. "A kunai in the heart. No ramen for all eternity."
That shut Naruto up.
As for Shikamaru, he brushed past everyone with a scowl. "I'm going to bed until noon," he muttered. "Anyone disturb me, and I'll make them wish they'd never been born." He walked inside the red tent, with Ino glaring after him.
TBC...
How was it? I hope no one's too mad at me for making Kankuro not come along, but I just couldn't picture him camping. sorry. Anyway, the next update will come as soon as possible, and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. Please R&R!
