Sonic and Naruto on Vacation
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters except my ideas and OCs.
Chapter 1: Prologue
It's the beginning of summer, and this group is just hanging out with their friends…either having a great time or looking bored. "Amy, give up! You know you can't catch me!" exclaims Sonic, laughing as he runs a little faster. Amy shouts, "Yes I can, so come back here!" then giggles. "Wait up, Sonic!" exclaimed Amy as she continues to chase her crush. Gaara and Knuckles, who are sitting nearby, watched the two hedgehogs chasing each other…obviously bored of the same scene. Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Tails are playing 'Hide and Seek'. "Guys, I'm getting sick of this. Show yourselves already!" shouts an impatient Uchiha. "No way. You should find us, dattebayo!" replies an excited blond-haired ninja (of course, you know who that is). "Shut up, Naruto! You're such a loudmouth!" complained Tails and Sakura, which resulted in Sasuke overhearing their voices. Sasuke smirked and said, "I can hear you…!" and continued searching. Cream and Hinata are lying on their backs and looking at the sky, almost as bored as Gaara and Knuckles. Shadow and Rouge are having a little private time to themselves, sitting alone away from the group. "You're not busy tonight?" asked Shadow, and Rouge answered, "Not really…unless you wanna come over," and gave him a smile. Shadow smirked, and planted a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek. "Ina, what are you writing in that little book of yours?" asked Itachi, trying to peek over his girlfriend's (she's one of my OCs) shoulder. Ina immediately hid it and said, "Itachi, don't look!" which only made him even more curious. In fact, he tried to grab the book…but now he has to chase her as she got up and ran!
A few days later…some of these guys decided to go on a real vacation, particularly a long cruise to a new country and spend their time there, just for a week or two. Sonic, panicking as he heard the news, exclaimed, "A cruise? Guys, you know I can't swim." Shadow glared and hit the blue hedgehog on the head. "Idiot! You can't just jump off a ship like that. And we all know you can't swim." Sonic rubbed the painful spot on his head, wincing. Sonic can't swim? I didn't know that…until now, thought Sasuke as he snickers. Sonic, noticing his behavior, asked, "What's so funny, Sasuke? Is it something about me?" Itachi replies, "Actually, I think my little brother is thinking something…dirty," earning a glare from his little brother. "I'm not, you (beep) brother of mine!" shouted Sasuke, and Ina glared at both the Uchihas. "Itachi, what did I tell you about that? And calm down, Sasuke!" said Ina, and boys apologized, "Right…sorry, Ina." Rouge said to herself, "Wow, this girl's tough for someone her age. I like those types," and suddenly lost her train of thought as Knuckles asked, "Rouge, are you even listening to me?" Rouge, snapping out of it, answered, "Hm? Oh yeah, I'm definitely coming. I just have to ask for –" but was interrupted as Shadow said, "Don't bother. I already asked the commander hours ago," earning a surprised look form Rouge – in fact, she didn't expect him to give them some time off just like that. Then again, she and Shadow do deserve a break after all those missions. "A vacation? But what about my training with Kakashi-sensei?" asked Naruto, and Sakura answered, "Naruto, I told you already. He said it's okay for us to go!" Gaara added, "How could you forget something like that? I heard him say that twice to you yesterday," and Naruto blushed in embarrassment. Tails suddenly had a doubt. "What about you, Gaara? I thought you're supposed to stay and protect your village since you're the…whatever-you-are," said the two-tailed fox. "Kazekage," said Gaara as he patted Tails' head, then tells him that his village is safe since he already assigned his best elite ninja to patrol the village until his return. Hinata also decided to go…as long as Neji doesn't mind, in her opinion. Cream decided to come too, as long as Amy is always nearby. As for Knuckles, leaving the Master Emerald for a while is not a problem! That is, ever since Team Chaotix decided to guard it in his place and Tails installed a high-security system on the entire island – Eggman can never get past it for sure! Naruto whistled and said, "You sure are intelligent for someone your age," and Sonic added, "And that's why you're my best buddy in the whole world!" earning a smile from Tails.
And so, the next day…this group of 14 people (actually 7 humans and 7 animals) set sail on a huge catamaran, specially built by Tails. It's not just a simple boat…it's got all the best facilities – swimming pool, two spacious bedrooms, arcade room, kitchen…name it, it's all there! "You really built all this? How long did that take?" asked Naruto, and Tails answered, "Seven months, maybe eight. That includes breaks in between." Suddenly, a blue blur rushed past them, making Naruto lose his balance and fall on his butt. "Sonic, this boat's not gonna sink! Calm down!" ordered Sasuke, but the hedgehog refused to listen as he continues to run around and panic…then finally went to his room and hides under his bed, muttering, "I hate cruises." Knuckles, who was watching him a few minutes ago, said to himself, "At least he finally shuts himself up," and looked at his fishing line, then heads to the kitchen for a quick snack. Sakura and Gaara are having a friendly conversation, while Itachi and Ina are sunbathing. Shadow and Rouge seem to be enjoying themselves, glancing at the Akatsuki couple occasionally. "They're kinda like us, aren't they?" asked Shadow. Rouge replied, "In a way. The only difference is that they've been friends since they were kids," and remembered the time when Ina told her life story. Cream and Hinata were just minding their own business when Amy approached them and asked, "Have either of you seen Sonic?" Cream shook her head, telling her that he was running around earlier, and Hinata answered, "Maybe he went to your room." Thanking the two girls, Amy went into the cabin…and a scream is heard as Sonic starts running around again, chased by a pink hedgehog on his tail. "Outta my way! Coming through! Excuse me!" shouts the hedgehog as he rushes past everyone. Will she ever stop chasing him? Oh well.
Later that night…Knuckles shivered as he stood on the deck, the wind ruffling his red dreads. "Get inside, Knuckles. I think a storm is heading this way," said Hinata as night falls and the wind suddenly began to pick up. Somehow, I'm getting a bad feeling about this, thought Hinata. "Come on, Hinata!" shouts Sakura, shivering as the cold night air rushed past her. Looking one last time at the dark sky, Hinata goes inside. Cream asks, "Miss Hinata, are you alright?" only to be answered, "Everything's fine, Cream…" by a nervous-looking Hyuuga. Naruto seems to sense something wrong, but she insisted that she's just tired. BOOM! "Yikes!" yelped Cream, and rain started pouring heavily outside. "That's weird…I thought there's gonna be a light shower tonight. Not a thunderstorm," said Amy. "A light shower on land. We're out on the ocean, Amy," corrected Tails, which resulted in Sonic panicking again. Shadow glared and shouted, "Shut the (beep) up already!" and the ship suddenly shook violently as another clash of thunder is heard. Then the lights suddenly went out…and Tails is beginning to feel wet around his ankles. Turning on a flashlight, he looks down at his feet and saw…water? "We're sinking!" screams Tails as the water quickly rises to their waists. "We'll have to get to the lifeboats! Now!" shouted Tails.
However…even though they all moved as fast as they could, it was already too late. A huge wave suddenly crashes onto the catamaran, smashing tit to pieces and separating the group form each other. Fortunately, each managed to grab something to keep themselves afloat…but are drifting further away from the others as the waves toss them around like little bath toys. The storm eventually died down, but they're too exhausted to call for help and fall unconscious, slowly drifting away in different paths.
