AN: new story! Whoooooooooooooooo. I know. I should be working on my other stories but... nah. GO!

Beginning of a great day.

"Shikamaru! Get off your lazy ass and come take out this trash!" Yoshino Nara yelled from her place at the stove where pancakes were being made. After her son didn't come down she yelled again louder this time. "Shikamaru! Get down here! Now!" Again there was no answer. "I know you're not sleep! Get down here!" After there wasn't an answer again, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She would wake him up personally. She started up the stairs stomping quite loudly.

'Okay stay calm Shikamaru. She can sense fear. Breathe in and out.' Shikamaru Nara thought as he lay in bed with his face in the direction of the wall, so anyone who came in his room couldn't see his face. "Shikamaru!" Yoshino yelled as she kicked open his door. 'Crap! Crap! Crap!' Shikamaru thought as he began to internally panic. "Wake up!" Yoshino yelled in his ear. 'No... sudden... movements.' Shikamaru thought as he grit his teeth. 'As long as she doesn't pull out the slipper I should be fi-" WHAP! His thoughts were effectively scrambled by the feeling of a slipper on his face.

"GET... UP! Unless you wanna get slapped again." She growled holding the slipper in her hands in a slapping position. This threat was all the motivation Shikamaru needed to get up in a lightning fast movement. When he finally got up he gulped. Yoshino was mad, no one in her house blatantly ignored her without suffering a slipper to the face. "So you thought you could ignore me?!" She snarled moving forward. Shikamaru reflexively took two steps back. "What? Nooooo." He said waving his hands as if to say 'That's absurd.'

"Well how do you explain this?!" Yoshino asked taking another step. Again he took two steps back. "Umm... I fell in a mini coma." He said thinking quickly. At this Yoshino raised an eyebrow, "A mini coma." She repeated in disbelief. Surely her genius son didn't expect her to believe that. Even Shikamaru was having a hard time believing his own lie. "Yeah. And if you hadn't shown up when you did, I fear that it could've developed into a full blown coma. Mama you saved me!" He yelled faking tears as he pulled his mother into a hug. Now usually he wouldn't act like this but... he really didn't like the taste of slipper. Instead of a hug, his face met slipper. "Idiot! Get down there and take out the trash!"

'Oh what a great way to begin my day. Instead of a bowl of cereal I get slipper in my mouth and an imprint on my cheek.' He thought as he walked to the side of his house where his garbage cans where, trash in hand. After returning back to his room and getting dressed in what he usually wore ( a white shirt with a green circle on the back, black jeans and White and black Converse.) And heading downstairs to eat the breakfast Yoshino made, he headed out the door. "Alright mom. Im off to school." He said waving lazily, backpack slung over his shoulder. "Bye. Learn something today!" She yelled back. "No promises."

The walk to school was like any other time. Shikamaru always took his time walking to his bus stop, usually stopping to stare at the clouds. This caused him to miss two buses that he could've caught if he wasn't so damn slow. By the time he got there he could see the third bus down the street. The third bus stopped and he walked on showing his bus pass given to him by his school. Smiling as he scanned the bus he picked an empty seat and sat down. This is why he woke up so early, the bus was usually empty.

After getting off at his stop, Shikamaru began to walk the rest of the way to his school. Halfway to the school a bus stopped in front of him and a energetic blonde jumped out. "Hey Shikamaru!" He said. 'Great. Naruto is here.' Shikamaru thought, but in reality he was happy to see him. Somehow Naruto always managed to brighten up any room he walked into. "What do you want Naruto." Shikamaru said as continued walking, with Naruto falling in stride next to him. "Owww so mean Shika." Naruto said faking a hurt look. Shikamaru visibly flinched at the blondes nickname for him. "Anyways. Are you ready for sophomore year?" He asked as he did a weird little happy dance.

"Ok first, stop doing that dance. You look retarded. Second, no. I hate it already. I can practically feel the amounts of work we'll have to do." Naruto just gave him.a confused look. "Sigh. You really are stupid you know that? Listen the higher the grade level the more work you get. And the work gets harder. Got it?" He said as they finally arrived at their school. Or as Shikamaru called it: PRISON.

AN: Alrighty! Just a heads up Shikamaru will be a little out of character. Or a lot. Depends on how you look at it.

Review!
