I was so excited to go back. I remembered from last year when I'd spent so much time at camp, but guess what? This year? I'M A COUNSILER!

I jumped into the cab after throwing my things into the bed of the truck. It was at least a three hour drive, but I couldn't be more excited. Sasuke actually had his own car do drive this year on account of Itachi actually letting him USE it. HAHA!! I hummed along to the radio for a while, and then shrieked when Pokerface by Lady Gaga came on. I blasted it from the radio and sang as loud as I could. Some teenage boys who were driving next to me were laughing, but winked when they saw me looking. I snorted and sped up to escape their gazes. I laughed as they stared after me dazed.

Suddenly my Sidekick buzzed in my pocket. I jumped then grabbed it and held it to my ear. "Hello??" I said loudly over my radio, which I quickly turned down. I grinned when I heard Sasuke, "Hey! What's up?" I said happily. Sasuke snickered on the other end, "I'm already here, where are you?" he said. I snorted, "Pfft! I'm going to arrive just on time." I said. He snorted as well, "Yea right!" he said, "I'm gonna get in some time on the slopes and you'll have to get signed in and introduce yourself right away!" I grunted and hung up on him. I was going to hear about that when I got there. I just laughed as I drove down the high-way. Did I mention I'm doing a winter camp this time? Yup, up at a ski lodge! I'm so excited!

Sasuke was there to meet me just like I'd expected. I smiled and threw my arms around him. He twirled me in a circle then said, "Geeze…you're heavier, I may drop you in the snow." I squealed and held on tighter causing him to go toppling down into a snowdrift with me. I laughed so hard I started to cry. He grunted, rolled his eyes, and kissed me on the cheek before going to help grab my stuff from the truck. "I already found out what room you're in, in the lodge. So follow me." He said. I smiled and grabbed my snowboard and other gear from the cab of the truck where I'd been. He led me up to a room and pushed the door open with his foot. I gazed out the window in awe. "YOU GOT ME A ROOM WITH A BALCONY!?!" I shrieked. He laughed, "I figured you'd like it." He said.

I jumped up and down wrapping my arms around his waist again, "Oh my gosh Sasuke!! I ADORE YOU!" I screamed. He gazed down on me, "More than before? Is that possible?" he said kiddingly. I smiled at him and propped my stuff against the wall. I gazed out the window and smiled as the snow began to softly fall onto the slopes. Sasuke wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "We need to get you signed in." I smiled and walked with him to the front desk. "Excuse me, I'm councilor Sakura Haruno." I said happily, "I'm here to sign in." The person who turned around was the last person I expected. "DEIDARA!? OH MY GOODNESS! YOU'RE STILL HERE!!!" I shrieked. The blonde blinked at me, "Oh! Hey Sakura!" he said. He gave me a one-armed hug over the counter then signed me in. " I assume you found your room?"

I blushed, "You heard the shrieking?" I asked giggling nervously. Deidara winked, " I won't tell anyone." Sasuke rolled his eyes, "C'mon Sakura, we've got an hour before you've gotta get started, let's go get some practice in on the slopes." He said softly. I smiled back at him, "Sure just give me a minute." I ran back to my room and pulled on a pair of cute skiing pants and my puffy coat, and boots. I grabbed my hat and pulled on my goggles over it. I grabbed my gloves and snowboard and then I went back on the counter. I jumped on Sasuke and knocked him over. "Um….sorry. But I've already got a girlfriend." He said stuttering. I smiled, "It's me silly." He blushed, "Oh….sorry." I grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door with me. We ran to the lift together and snagged a seat quickly. I leaned on his shoulder on the way up, "Excited to be a counselor?" I asked getting jittery. He smiled and tickled me, "You know I am." I smiled. Over the course of the next hour we went down the hill, fell on our butts, and freaked out when he figured out that we were almost late.

We stumbled into the lodge twenty minutes before we needed to be ready. We met with the other counselors and chatted for a bit. Finally the camp was getting started and we needed to introduce ourselves. I stepped up and said happily, "I'm Haruno, Sakura. Um…first year as a counselor, and I'm going to college next year!" then I stepped back. A guy about the same age as Sasuke and I winked at me from the front row. I blushed and stepped back. Sasuke wrapped his arm around my waist in a simple message meaning, 'Mine.' I smiled, but the guy just smirked. I looked at Sasuke who rolled his eyes and then stepped up to introduce himself.

Once introductions were finished we were broken up into groups. I was with three girls, Suki, Yuei, and Kanami. And two boys Sora, and Seino. I smiled as they all walked up, I recognized Seino as the boy who'd winked at me earlier. "Ok guys, I'm new at this, but don't believe for a second that I'm gonna let you get away with anything." I said winking. "Ok, we're the first on the slopes today. So grab your boards and let's go." I said as I grabbed my own board. It was black, white, and pink and had an anime girl with her face half covered in bandages on half the board, the rest was covered in cherry blossoms.

We were at the slopes within fifteen minutes, and the girls were all squealing because it was there first time ACTUALLY snowboarding. You think they're excited? I couldn't tell. Either way, once we got started the guys were excited to. They'd discovered that if they girls fell that they could immediately jump up and help them. What does this equal? Hook-ups. I supposed I couldn't really blame them, I was the EXACT same way when I was at camp. All I wanted to do was visit with guys. I laughed just as the guy who'd winked at me earlier tapped me on the shoulder. "Oh hey." I said to him blinking. He smiled, "Wanna race me?" he said daringly. I smirked with a glint in my eye. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into." I said pulling my pink beanie over my heard and adjusting my goggles. He smiled, "Neither do you." I smirked, "Hey guys!" I yelled ushering over the rest of the group, "I'm racing this guy, don't wander off." I smiled. The guys melted, the girl giggled and said 'ok'.

We both started off at the same time, "Ready. Set. GO!" I screamed and took off down the hill. He was right behind me, but I picked up speed easily. I was in the lead until I went over the top of a bump on the hill and then I was airborn, "AHHHHHH!!!" I screamed bloody murder. As soon as I landed a slowed down a bit because I had just about had a heart-attack. The boy was right behind me laughing his ass off. I glared then picked up speed. He was right next to me and smirked, "Why're you smirking?" I yelled at him. He nodded ahead of us and there was another bump on the hill!! "Ah crap!" I screamed as I went flying. As it turns out…I lost, but winnings not everything right?

He helped me up because I fell on my butt, and I thanked him while wiping snow off my pants. "Well, if it hadn't been for those little bumps on the hill you probably would've won." He said sympathetically. I rolled my eyes then said, "Yea you're probably right." I then grinned at him and said, "C'mon we've gotta get back to the rest of the group." I started trudging up the hill to the lift. He followed quickly, "So was that guy with black hair you're boyfriend?" he asked. I looked at him from the corner of my eye, "Yea, he is. Has been for about two years now." I said curiously, "Why?" The boy shrugged, "Just wondering, that blonde dude at the front desk wouldn't shut up about some 'beautiful pink-haired girl who was at the camp two years ago.'" I blinked, "Deidara?" I asked. The kid shrugged, "Beats me, I don't know his name." I grinned, leave it to Deidara to gossip. I rolled my eyes, he was such a dork. Once we got to the top of the hill the rest of our group was there waiting for us. They smiled when we met them.

"Ok guys, it's about time for lunch so let's get back to the lodge!" they all followed me back to the lodge. I pulled my beanie off my head and shook out my hair before walking into the lodge. Sasuke smiled and waved me over to his table where he, Deidara, and some other counselors were sitting. I smiled and sat next to him, "So how's your group?" I said kissing him on the cheek. He smiled, "They're ok. I little bit wired though. One of the younger ones reminds me of Naruto a bit TOO much." He said laughing. I smiled, "Yea, but since Naruto went to a different school we don't see him as much." I said sadly, "So that's a good thing, we should call him sometime." I said happily. Sasuke looked at me like I was crazy, "YOU call him, he'll ask me a million questions that I DON'T want to answer." He said snickering.

I stared at him, "You're such a horrible friend to him Sasuke." I said with mock seriousness. Just then Deidara interrupted our conversation, "So what have you guys been up to?" he asked takin g a sip of his drink. We looked at each other and said in unison, "Not much." He smiled and shook his head, "Seriously, you guys are like made for each other." He said laughing. I blushed and looked down, "Shut up Deidara…." Sasuke stared at me and shook his head, "Still so shy." He said. Just then the doors burst open and in walked a loud and abnoxious orange entity. "NARUTO!?!?"
