Disclaimer:
I do not own Naruto nor it's characters.

Note:

This chapter will probably be boring, but I just wanted to get it out of the way. Also, Orochimaru will not be in this fic but the Akatsuki will. Gotta have some excitement, right?

for reviewing!


Naruto had indeed heard his alarm clock. Oh yes, he'd heard it... About twenty fucking times! And of course, Naruto was being stubborn and refusing to get out of bed while insisting he could reach the night stand and hit the 'snooze' button.

"Idiot. Ever hear of sitting up and reaching for it?" Sasuke had known Naruto would probably make them late, so he'd let himself in and shut off the alarm.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever teme. I'm gonna go get dressed, I'll be out in a sec!" Naruto clearly wasn't a morning person, for his brain hadn't registered the fact Sasuke hadn't left yet. Starting to lift his shirt off in front of the Uchiha is proof enough he wasn't awake yet.

"D-Dobe..." Was all Sasuke could mutter. Naruto had a very nice chest and was quite tanned... He blushed, shook the thought away and walked out.

Naruto grinned and shrugged while continuing to get dressed. He'd never understand Sasuke.

Putting on his favorite black T-shirt with the orange swirl and a pair of orange sweat pants, he shuffled into the tiny bathroom to brush his teeth. He didn't need a shower, he'd taken one last night. Locking the door behind him, he tagged a sticky note to the door for Tsunade. Once he got outside, everyone was already in Sasuke's van, waiting for him. He tossed his suit case in the back then hoped in.

"So, let's go! This is going to be awesome! I can hardly wait! How far is the airport?" Naruto's voice bounced off the walls in the van.

"Naruto! Shut it! It's too early for loud noises. It's only an hour away to the airport, so try and stay quiet." Sakura rolled her eyes as the excited boy just kept grinning.

Five minutes passed. Lee, who was driving despite Sasuke's reluctance to give him the keys, wondered how long this would last. He should have known that would jynx it. Naruto was bound to snap sooner or later. Only, everyone wished it had been later.

"How much longer!" Naruto's whinny voice was more annoying than anyone's should be this early.

"We just left, dobe. Calm down or I'll find a different way to shut you up." Sasuke was referring to the duck tape under the seat, but Naruto had other ideas.

"What, your gonna kiss me? Ew! I'll get the Bastard Virus!" Naruto scrunched up his face in mock disgust and giggled.

Sasuke closed his eyes and counted to ten to calm himself down. "Who'd ever want to kiss YOU?"

Naruto pouted and sulked. Sasuke, although he felt a bit sorry, was glad the comment had made him shut up for another 25 minutes. The peace was once again broken by Naruto.

"I'm bored! Sasuke, play 'I Spy' with me!"

"...No."

"Please!"

"No. Leave me alone."

"Aww, teme! Please! It will shut me up!"

Sasuke sighed and considered. Lee had his eyes on the road and looked like he had headache. Which wouldn't be good, because if he passed out, he might crash Sasuke's precious van. Sakura had an expression that clearly read 'I'm about to chuck Naruto out of the car.' Sasuke simply could not allow his pink haired friend to do that to his Naruto. Wait... Since when was Naruto his?

"...Fine. But no talking too loud or talking non-stop."

"Yay! I'm gonna beat you, dattebayo! Let's see... I spy something... Gray!"

Sighing, Sasuke guessed the road. This was going to be a very long ride...

Sasuke had been right. After about fifteen minutes, he was ready to kill. Not Naruto, no, it wasn't his fault. He'd kill the person who had been mentally disabled enough to invent I spy. And if he so happen to already be dead, he'd dig up his grave and tear him to shreds.

"Enough! Naruto, shut it!" Sasuke let out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding.

"But... But..." Naruto couldn't find the words to argue back, so he just found a new game which proved to be quite entertaining. Stare at Sasuke until he catches you, then turn around and pretend you weren't looking.

This went on for a whole ten minutes with Sasuke trying to ignore him before he blurted out, "Naruto, if I'm so damned fascinating to you, take a picture!" His eye twitched twice. This was not his day.

Naruto stuck out his tongue and managed to stay quiet the last five minutes, to everyone's surprise. He occupied himself with thoughts of Rome, such as where they'd go ,what they'd do, who they'd meet...

"We're here!" Lee jumped out of the car and ran to the other side to open the door for Sakura. Grinning, he grabbed both their bags and walk inside.

"Hey! This place is huge!" Naruto looked around in awe at the airport.

"You've never been to one before?" Sasuke asked.

"Nope. Not in my life. Too poor, you know that, teme!"

"Hn. Whatever, let's get checked in."

It didn't take them long to get checked in and that's when the chaos started. Naruto was walking around, screaming things out to Sasuke. Sasuke was embarrassed, but wouldn't show it. Sasuke, Lee and Sakura followed quietly, trying to tell him to shut up.

"No! Oh, look! It's a mini pirate ship! Let's go see it!" Naruto bounded over to the kiddy pirate ship.

"Naruto! That's for little kids! Get off!" Sasuke hissed.

Naruto ignored him and continued to jump up and down and play with the little kids. What a scene they were making! For an 19-year-old, one would think Naruto would be more mature...

'Flight 202, going to Rome, please heard to the terminal building. The flight will be leaving shortly.' The announcement alerted Naruto and he got off and skipped happily towards the terminal.

Once they'd showed their boarding passes to the workers, they walked down the long hallway to the plane. Naruto had never been more excited in his life! This would be his first plane ride. He saw someone with spiky hair that reminded Naruto of a pineapple. He smiled, jumped on the plane and made Sasuke sit next to him. Before long, all four of them were sound asleep as the plane had just gone down the runway and started into the air.

Like it? Bad? Boring? Cookies to anyone who reviews and guesses who the pineapple head is.Also, things will get better, I promise!
