We got out of the forest surprisingly quickly, only an hour...or two...maybe five. Anyway, I found myself on a coastline. The view was beautiful! The sun was just beginning to set and there was a small waterfall near by. I could feel the warmth in my heart and insert something else retardedly corny here. But, of course, as if on cue Lee and Gai Sensei were in front of the waterfall, hugging and crying tears of joy, you know the drill. This made my good mood crash, burn, and die in the fiery pits of Hell.

Gai Sensei took a deep breath. "Okay. Now, we must set out in the canoes!"

"Canoes?" I asked, wide eyed. As I'm sure you all know, I cannot swim...at all. So, I was scared to death.

Of course, Lee was a frickin' bundle of joy. "Oh my goodness! I love to canoe! Let us go!" He began to skip towards the water.

"Hold on there, Lee!" Gai Sensei grabbed Lee's shoulder before he totally submerged himself in the water. "Now, we only have one canoe. So, out of generosity, I have decided to give you two the canoe!" He smiled and did the whole 'thumbs up, tooth shine' thing.

"Well, what are you going to do, Gai Sensei?" Lee said, tilting his head to the side.

"I've arranged for a ride from that one row boat guy from the time when Haku was still alive. He's a great singer, you know..." (Watch Naruto Abridged Series to understand 8D)

"So, you're making two thirteen year olds row a canoe for the first time, by themselves, while you sit in a canoe while someone rows for you?" I asked.

"Out of generosity!" Gai Sensei corrected me.

I sweat dropped. Before I could say anything else, I heard something. It wasn't a scream, exactly. More like a dying cat and a drowning child mixed together. I came to learn it was actually someone singing...

"Howdy!" I turned around to see, as Gai Sensei had promised, that one rowboat guy from when Haku was alive. How ever, Gai Sensei had lied about his singing. Saying he was a pretty good singer was such an understatement. Well, to me anyway. Maybe some people think it's bad...but it's not their fault they're mentally retarded.

"Good, you're right on time!" Gai Sensei said, climbing into the canoe.

"Good luck, Gai Sensei!" Lee called as the canoe sped away. "We will miss you!" Lee burst into tears.

"Oh, just shut up and get in the canoe..." I scowled and climbed in the canoe, falling over right away. I began to thrash around like a frickin' two year old someone just threw in a lake. "Help! I'm drowning! Heeeelp!" I began to sink.

"Neji-san! You may want to stand up, I think that will help you from drowning!" Lee smiled and sparkles floated around him in an annoying manner. God dammit, where the hell do those sparkles come- you know what, I'm not going to think about that...

I stood up, the water barely reaching above my knees. "Oh..." I climbed back into the canoe and Lee climbed in after me.

"This will be fun, Neji-san!" Lee smiled and began to row.

It took less than a minute to realize Lee and I were not meant to row a canoe together. First, we got stuck in a bunch of mud. Then we couldn't stop running into the sides of the extremely narrow river. I thought we were never going to get out of the river until...

"I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!" Lee screamed. Though he was extremely pissed, Lee couldn't use a contraction. "HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU GET US STUCK IN A TREE?!"

"Hey, it's not my fault there's a frickin' bunch of branches in the middle of the river!" Though we had just gotten to a wider part of the river, there was a big bunch of branches right in the middle of everything.

"Well, let us just try getting out..." Lee mumbled and began to paddle randomly.

"Wow. Great idea, why didn't I think of that?" I rolled my eyes.

"Well, what do you think we should do?" Lee scowled at me.

I mumbled and began to paddle backwards as well.

Fifteen minutes passed before we were almost out of the tree, one more paddle and we'd be free. But, no, of course not. A little girl came out of know where, paddling like mad. She and her friend were giggling, and they somehow managed to push our canoe and send it flipping all the way to the top of the tree...thing.

"I'll get you, Jacob!" I screamed at the girls as they paddled away, who were laughing even harder. I have no idea what their names were...so I chose Jacob.

"This is all your fault!" Lee screamed.

"How is this my fault?!" I screamed back. We yelled and screamed and had a sissy slap fight, all of this rocking the canoe slightly.

"Ooo! I know, let us rock the canoe out of the tree!" Lee brightened immediately.

"Good idea!" I smiled in mock admiration. "Let's just topple into the water and drown!"

Lee ignored me and began to rock the canoe. I sighed, but rocked the canoe as well. Hours upon hours of rocking, but nothing happened.

"I GIVE UP!" I threw myself backwards against the canoe. I'm sure you're expecting it to move, but it didn't. It didn't move a single inch. That is, not until a few hours later.

Silence had fallen. I was just about to fall asleep when I sneezed. A sneeze, that's all. That's all it took to send the canoe flying all the way out of the tree and into the ocean. The canoe wasn't even upside down everything was up just right.

My eye twitched, but Lee seemed to pay no mind to it. We began to paddle until we found a big ship. I looked exactly like a pirate ship, except the skull on the flag was making the '8D' face. Of course, as naive as we are, we began to paddle towards the ship. -.-
