I feel... motivated. I haven't felt that in years.

Disclaimer; Yeah... if I owned Naruto, Hinata would just fess up to him already, Sasuke wouldn't be such a bastard and run off to that Japanese Micheal Jackson, and Kakashi would show us his goddamn face! But I don't, so that ain't happening.

Original Summary: You've got two bored groups of the opposite sex eager for the best Summer vacation ever. By evil twist of fate they find themselves sharing one beach house. Personalities clash and chaos ensues.

Perfect Opportunity;

Chapter two; Road trip time!

5 girls sat under another tree, talking about the Honey Suckle Bush near them, trying to take their mind off the heat.

"They, um, smell nice." The shyest one, Hinata, said.

"Okay, this is getting tedious. The heat is making me more irritated then usual." A tall blond, Temari, said, waving a fan in her face, turned pink from the heat.

"Yeah... sorry, Hinata." The pink-haired one, Sakura, said gloomily.

"Oh, I, uh, wait..." Hinata stuttered.

"Oh, we should go to the pool today!" The other blonde, Ino, whined.

"I agree with that!" Tenten said.

"I could use a swim..." Temari agreed.

"I would too... but the Weather Man said that there would be hot flashes all throughout the summer. I can't go everyday, my hair couldn't take the chlorine!" Sakura said.

"But we can't go without going to the pool, I couldn't take it." Tenten sounded. Hinata and everyone else nodded in agreement.

"W- what about the b- beach?" Hinata asked.

They thought about it some. "That is brilliant. My mom could give us money to rent a beach house, and... what?"

"Okay, bill-board brow, where are we going to find a beach house in such short notice?"

And that's when Jiraiya thought it would be a great time to brandish his real estate skills of the piece of architecture he owned... not to mention the hot spring within it(Because girls just love that, he thought, thinking of all the stuff they could do within its boundaries.(Perv.))

Naruto paced in front of the front door of Neji's house. Sasuke leaned against the pillar of the porch.

"Come on! He's late!" Naruto whined.

"First of all, we're early. About 2 and a half hours too early. Why'd you drag me out of bed at 5:00 anyway?" Sasuke asked, irritated and yawning.

"How could you have slept! I was up all night packing and..." Naruto broke out into a unwilling yawn.

"...That was the most stupid thing you could have done." Sasuke finished for him. "The beach is, and will always be, where it is now. Why are you rushing?"

"Yes. Why?" Neji came out, fighting down a large yawn.

"Finally Neji!" Naruto said happily, then frowned. "Why are you in your Pajamas?"

True, Neji was in a pair of pants with racing stripes on them, and nothing else(meaning he was shirtless). His eyes were bloodshot and his long hair a mess.

"Oh, I don't know..." He said sarcastically. "Why the HELL are you at MY house at 5:00 in the morning?"

He was whispering, no doubt not to wake up his uncle and cousins. But his whispers were more like hisses, and his anger was making Naruto flinch.

"I wanted to sleep IN today."

"But you are going to drive us..."

"Yeah, but how am I going to drive you if I'm YAWNING the whole time?" He growled.

Naruto scratched his head. "Well, uh--"

The door slammed in his face, interrupting him.

"Well, that was rude." Naruto said. Sasuke slapped his hand over his eyes. Being from a dojo, he usually woke up early to train anyway. It didn't bother him so much, however, seeing Naruto act like a complete idiot was the part that irritated him.

- - - - - - - - - -

Neji walked away from the front door, grumbling to himself, only to nearly smack foreheads with his younger cousin Hinata.

"N- Neji-nii-san, w- who w-was it at the d-d-door?" Hinata stumbled over her words, hugging her pillow from reluctance to get up from sleeping.

Neji scoffed, angered again by the thought of Naruto, but calmed himself, and ran his hand through his hair, in sad attempt to remove the bottle of bedhead that had been dumped on his head that night. "Nothing, Hinata-san. I'm sorry to have awoken you."

She shook her head. "N-n- no... you don't have t-to apolo..." She drifted off, mumbling to herself in embarrassment, and tripped over herself wandering back to her bedroom.

Neji sighed for his well under-confident cousin, and groggily lumbered over to the kitchen to make coffee for himself. The bastard Kyuubi woke him up, so he wasn't going to go back to sleep anyway.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"N- Naruto? Sasuke?" Kiba stopped to yawn. "What the hell are you doing here? What time is it?"

Sasuke sighed before responding. "Around 5:15 to 5:30."

"Yeah, so get your lazy ass up, we're going to the beach today." Naruto said loudly with a grin.

"Quiet, you baka! You'll wake my sister." Kiba whisper-yelled. He yawned again before responding to the Blonde. "We're going to the beach, yeah, but not at frickin 5 in the morning. Come back in 3 hours." And he turned around to shut the door.

"No, wait, Kiba!" Too late, the door was closed, and locked.

Sasuke sighed. "Can I go home yet? I should get like an hour of training done anyway. Go home and sleep, baka. No one besides me and you are awake this early."

Naruto groaned, and then a light bulb went off in his head. "Wait, there is ONE person."

Sasuke sweat-dropped. "What? Who?"

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sasuke felt like introducing his forehead to many, many tree trunks.

"Naruto! How youthful it is for you and Sasuke to be up this early! I thought I was the only one who took part in morning activities!" Rock Lee, the beetle hair-cut, youth loving, lovable weirdo, said loudly.

Naruto grinned widely. "I knew you'd be awake, Lee. Your totally awesome! Ready for the trip to the ocean?"

"How could I not? I was up since 2 in the morning packing." Lee said, giving a thumbs up.

"See, Teme? I'm not the only one." Naruto laughed in the direction of the suffering Uchiha.

Sasuke wanted to back away then run as far away as possible. 'Oh man.' He thought to himself. 'Only Naruto can put up with that weirdo. How am I going to survive this damn trip?'

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

2 hours later, Hinata, Tenten, and Sakura walked over to Ino's house, carrying their luggage. Sakura knocked on the door.

Ino opened the door, looking fresh and happy... with almost nothing on.

"Um... we still have to drive there. Why are you in your swimsuit?" Tenten questioned.

"She's going to the beach house like that." Sakura answered for her. "For the guys that we might see."

"That's right." Ino confirmed, putting on khaki short-shorts over her bikini bottom. "So, I'm all ready. Who are we missing?"

"T-T-Temari." Hinata said.

"She's the one who lives the farthest away. I guess I'll drive you guys over there."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

3 hours later, which Sasuke felt was forever, having to put up with 'Youth' and 'Believe it' for that long, the Uchiha rammed his fist repeatedly on the Hyuuga's front door.

Hiashi, Neji's uncle, opened the door, and invited them in, nodding his head to the three boys in greeting.

Neji met them in the Kitchen, holding a coffee cup. Catching Sasuke's desperate look because of the other two, he rolled his eyes, and offered the two access to the backyard, a temporary training ground for the two who wanted to be the absolute strongest.

The two eagerly ran out, and almost immediately started sparing with each other.

Neji came back to the Kitchen, and slowly sank into one of the bar stools in front of the island, when the door bell rang again.

"Kiba?" Sasuke asked, sipping some coffee.

"Yeah, but it just might be the other one."

"Other one?" Sasuke questioned.

"Hn." And Neji left, making his way to the door.

Sasuke spaced out for a little, downing what was left in his mug, only to look up at cold, blue eyes.

His eyes widened a little, but otherwise, he didn't look startled at all.

"Gaara?" He asked Neji.

Neji nodded. "His brother Kankuro is off to camp for the summer, and his sister Temari is doing something else as well. Lee invited him, then after about an hour of persuading, told me he was coming."

Gaara sat down on one of the barstools, saying nothing, acknowledging Sasuke with a nod of his head.

Sasuke returned the favor, then sighed. "Well, this is turning out to be a questionable trip."

"Now you know how I feel." Neji breathed, offering Gaara a cup of coffee. Gaara shook his head slightly, to tell him,'No thanks', but still said nothing.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Temari walked out of her house. By that time, Kankuro was already gone, left about an hour ago, and Gaara said something about going to a friend's house for the summer. So she was all by herself now. Good thing she decided to go on a trip, she thought, she didn't think that she was going to see either of her brothers all summer. And some of her actually was grateful. Living with an anti-social jack-ass and technical maniac (Kankuro enjoyed making robots and puppets) made her very... there wasn't a word for it.

She looked around to make sure nothing was out of place before shutting the lights and locking the door behind her.

No one was going to be home anyway. Well... there was Baki, one of their dad's employees, but he only came to check up on them once every like, 3 weeks, under orders of their dad.

She was taking the key out of the lock, and putting it in her bag when she heard a honk.

Tenten was at the wheel of a... very snazzy (Yeah, I just said snazzy ;p) silver convertible, the roof pulled back. Ino and Sakura was waving at her from the backseat, with Hinata in between them.

"Put your stuff in the back." Tenten called, and Temari popped the trunk and stuffed her luggage between 4 others.

"You have to push hard to make them fit." Tenten said, pointing behind her. "These girls over here don't know the meaning of cargo limit."

Ino and Sakura stuck their tongue out at Tenten. Tenten stuck her tongue back out at them.

Temari grunted, and almost lost balance when the suitcase slipped in, and slammed the trunk shut. She got in the passenger seat, and they zoomed off.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

They had to wait an extra hour for Kiba to show up. 'Fashionably late' he said it was. It took all the discipline Neji had not to punch him in the face.

But with the arrival of Kiba and Akamaru, it was time for them to leave. Naruto threw his hands up in the air in excitement, and Sasuke scoffed, and said, "Finally."

Neji got out the car from the garage, a red Acura SUV.

"Ohh... what a youthful car, Neji." Lee commented.

"Are you kidding? These things are terrible for the environment." Kiba rebutted.

"Yeah, because usually only one person is in the car at a time." Neji cut the argument short. "Now get in the car, or you can walk."

Everyone, in a line, got their suitcases in the back without a hitch, which Neji considered a blessing, and everyone piled into the car, Sasuke the front seat passenger.

Naruto protested to this, but Kiba threw him into the back and sat on him to shut him up.

Neji drummed his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently.

"Let me guess, 'Why am I going on this trip?'?" Sasuke asked, reading his mind.

Neji closed his eyes. "Enlighten me."

"You just might actually meet someone you like for one. Or... you just might learn to get along with..." He looked behind into the backseats.

Naruto and Rock Lee were already singing '99 bottles of beer on the wall' even though they haven't even left the driveway, Gaara already brought out his i-pod and was listening to something Heavy Metal, and Kiba was laughing at Naruto and Rock Lee.

He sweat-dropped. He slowly turned around. "Well... you just might learn to get along with them."

"Hn." Neji grunted. "Somehow I just don't see that happening." And with that comment, they took off.

As I said, I felt motivated for the first time in a while. With my priorities. and my irritating deadlines, you could probably see why. So, like I said before, this is my first Naruto fic, so Sasuke and Neji (and probably Gaara) with their anti-social'ness, just might be a little ooc. But just a little. Don't leave me with so little credit, I always try and improve.

Anyway, without further adieu, I leave you to your life. Please leave a review on your way out, but please be gentle, my ego kinda sucks at the moment.

As Always,
Alena Rio
