Day 1

9:12 am

" Sakura! Hey Sakura!"

Naruto's muffled voice was heard through out her apartment as she stuck her head out of her bathroom. Her hand was holding her hair up as the other held a brush and her mouth had hair pins sticking out of it.

" It's open!" she yelled towards the front door

The door opened and Naruto and Sasuke came walking in. Sasuke was wearing his baggy skater/ punk clothes with a large baggy, black Uchiha hoody. And Naruto was wearing his skater clothes with a orange hoody. They walked down the hall into Sakura's room as she came out of the bathroom with her hair put up in a bun as she went to her bed and placed her brush in her suit case.

" I'm almost ready." she said as she walked around her room grabbing a few more things here and there.

"You should've been ready by now Sakura!" Naruto complained.

She quickly zipped up her suit case and walked over too her closet and grabbed her red hoody that Sasuke had bought her the week before. She quickly threw it on and grabbed her backpack by the door. Sasuke picked up her suit case off the bed and they all started for the door as she grabbed her keys off the end table and locked up the apartment.

Sakura jumped in the back of Sasuke's car with Ino as Shikamaru sat up front with Sasuke. The car parked behind them on the side of the road was Neji's as Tenten, Naruto and Hinata rode with him. Sasuke closed the trunk of the car and walked around the back as he jumped over the door and into the drivers seat. Both cars started up and started moving when Naruto threw his arms up in the air.

" Oh yeah! Road trip!"

Shikamaru sighed and leaned back in the seat while putting his hands behind his head and sighing.

" What a drag, we're not even in the same car as him and he's going to drive me crazy."

The two girls giggled and Sasuke grinned at the comment.

" It's Neji I'm worried about though," Ino said, " we all know that he has a short temper."

Sakura leaned forward while grabbing the back of Sasuke's seat as they got onto the highway.

" Hey, Sasuke, at the next rest stop we should all switch around cuz I think Ino's right."

"Hn."

She smiled and leaned back into the seat as she started talking with Ino.

They were on the road for six hours, not counting the few hours at rest stops and a few resteraunts. It was almost 10:00 and the covers to the cars were pulled over so the cold night winds wouldn't hit them. They switched around earlier but had switched back to the way they were before so Shikamaru could drive Sasuke's car as he rested in the back seat and until they found a nice hotel for the night. Neji decided to continue driving because he didn't trust Naruto driving his car.

In Neji's car, Naruto and Hinata were in the back sleeping. Naruto was sitting up with his head back against the seat and Hinata was laying across the seats with her head on his lap. Tenten was staying awake to keep Neji company while he drove. In the other car, Shikamaru was driving so Sasuke could take a break. Ino was sitting upfront with him and she was wearing his zip up hoody. Sasuke and Sakura were sitting in the back together. She had fallen asleep with her arms crossed and her head on Sasuke's shoulder as his arm was wrapped around her shoulders as he fell asleep aswell.

" What a drag..." Shikamaru complained, " why do I have to drive?"

They passed a sign with an advertisment for a hotel in the upcoming town.

" About time."

He reached in his pocket and grabbed his cell. He flipped it open and quickly dialed Neji's number. Neji's phone started vibrating and as he went to reach for it, Tenten leaned over and took it out of his pocket.

" I'll take it."

He glanced at her quickly but didn't say anything and turned his attention back towards the road. She flipped it open and quickly answered.

" Hello?"

" Hey, Tenten, I saw a sign for a hotel. Ask Neji if he wants to stop there for the night."

" Ok, hold on a sec."

She turned to Neji and placed the phone lightly by her shoulder.

" Shikamaru wants to know if you want to stop at the hotel ahead."

" I guess."

She turned forward and put the phone back up to her ear.

" Yeah, we'll stop."

" Ok, thanks."

The phone flipped shut and it was placed back in his pocket.

Both cars took the next exit and went throught the town to the hotel. They ended up paying for two rooms with 2 full size beds in each. In each room, each couple got a bed together as Neji and Tenten, and Shikamaru and Ino got one room and the other two couples got the other. They all settled into the rooms with their things as they quickly got ready for bed. Sasuke layed on the bed with his arms behind his head and shut his eyes, but opened them again as he saw climb into bed next to him. He pulled out one of his arms and wrapped it around her as she cuddled up next to him. Looking up at him, he looked back down at her with a gentle look.

" What?" he whispered gently.

All she did was smile and gave him a kiss and cuddled up closer to him.

" Goodnight." she whispered.

The lights went out and all eight of them fell asleep after their short, first day on the road.
