A.N Well right now I'm writing this and I got wicked happy and felt like I was actually there in the sun and everything, but then I looked out my window and wanted to cry, because I live in Massachusetts. And it's so cold, and dark, and dreary outside. I was supposed to go to Florida for Spring break this year with my mom, without my brothers. But then my mom got into a car accident. But she's okay now! So don't you worry! But she had to waste all her money on getting a new car that's actually wicked old, because her car got totaled. I've never been to Destin, Florida before. But I'm using my memory of when I went to Maine two summers in a row as a reference. Everyone should go to Old Orchard Beach! It's literally the best, as well as Funtown Splashtown. When they have shift changed you get to ride with the lifeguards. It's quite lovely! It's completely not the same as Florida I know, but I really don't care. Since this is my story! I hope you all enjoy! Let me know if you want to see anything, also the person who wanted Sasori to come back, I was actually planning that, I just need to come up with a way for them to meet each other again. Sorry for the wicked long Author Notes, I don't even know if any of you actually read this, but anywho! I hope you all enjoy this chapter! This chapter is mostly for you all to know more about where Sakura is vacationing, and also to introduce Naruto, and Sasuke.

Ocean Breeze and Strawberry Smoothie

The Pier

Sakura's POV

I leaned tiredly against the cold wall, and let go of my suitcase. We stood there in the elevator in complete and utter silence, no one even tried to make any sort of awkward conversation. My father didn't say a stupid joke. And my mom didn't ramble on about absolutely nothing. The only noise was the soft music that was playing inside the elevator, and the ding the elevator made every floor it went up. From the light inside the elevator I could take in the droopy eyes, and heavy bags under my parents eyes. I was certain I must be in the same state as them. It was a long drive. When we finally reached the third floor, the doors swung opened. I let out a sign I didn't know I was holding in. I grab the handle of my suitcase, and drag it out of the elevator, following my parents.

We then preceded to search for our room. All of us were equally exhausted and ready to go to bed as we dragged our tired feet down the long dim hall. I knew we weren't even thinking about going near our luggage after we set it on the floor when we got into the hotel room. It can be left for the morning. It wasn't nearly as important, as just finally being able to close our eyes and sleep.

When we reached our room, my father let go of his luggage that he was dragging before, and preceded to put his hand into his front pocket. I could hear his keys jingling as he preceded to search for his card that was in the same pocket, so we could get inside the hotel room and sleep. A second after, before I could give him my own card that was in my back pocket of my shorts, he pulled out his card from his front pocket. He then flashed it in front of the scanner, and the light turned green. He then tiredly reached his hand out to grasp the knob, and pulled open the door.

When he got inside he turned on the bright lights. At first I see a decent sized kitchen, with updated appliances. The counter is a dark black granite with blue specks that shone in the light. Then when you take a few step you enter the living room, that has a decent sized beige couch with white fluffy pillows. A little dark wooden coffee table, that had small little wheels connected to it making it easy for it to be moved, that was directly in front of the couch. And and a flat screen TV was plastered on the wall.

"The couch opens up to a bed, me and your father are going to sleep here. We decided you might want some privacy, so we are letting you have the master bedroom." My mother said tiredly, but managed a small smile, as she wiped her eyes tiredly.

"Really?" I said completely shocked and then I continue, "Are you sure..?"

Why would they want to do that?

I mean, I haven't been very pleasant to them this entire drive here.

I barely talked to them.

"Yeah, of course darling. We wouldn't just decide that without thinking about it. The decision is already made." My father said laughing, and placed his and my mom's luggage on top of the couch.

"Wow, thanks you guys.." I said and gave them both hugs.

Immediatly I felt awful about treating my mom terribly, but felt awkward apologizing. But I promised myself that she would at least try to enjoy this vacation, so my mom would be happy.

I mean I'm here, why not just try to live it up.

We all checked out the bathroom, and it's decent size. It has a heater inside of it as well, and their is dove soap and little travel packs shampoo on top of the counter next to the sink. Their is a glass shower on the wall. And on the other wall there was a toilet.

Finally I open the door to my room, and was shocked. The bed was a king sized bed with white fluffy looking blankets and pillows, and their was my own flat screen TV, as well as a balcony with long white flowy curtains, that looked out onto the ocean.

"Do you like it?" My mother asked smiling.

"It's beautiful.." I say breathless.

"Well, we all should go to bed now. We have to wake up by eleven so we can have breakfast at the restaurant that's inside the hotel. Then we can head out to the beach!" My dad says, and then turns to leave the room.

"Good night, I love you both." I say as they close my door.

I place my suitcase onto my bed, and unzip it and search for my sweatpants and a tanktop. I grab them and then lay them out onto my bed and then zip up my suitcase and lean it against the wall.

Once I'm done changing I text Temari and then go to bed.

My POV? (I guess)

In a few hours it'll be noon, but this nice April day wasn't being wasted doing absolutely nothing, no it was quite the opposite. The sun was out in the bright blue cloudless sky, and it was already blazing hot outside. It may be extremely hot and humid, but that didn't stop anyone from lathering up with wet and slippery 50 SPF Banana Boat Sport Performance Sunscreen, that left their skin oily and shiny, and their hands and fingers greasy. And right after everyone left their houses wearing anything from; short sleeved shirts, tank tops, crop-tops, shorty shorts, bathing suit cover ups, floppy hats, sunglasses, and flip flops or cute little sandals, and going out and about having fun in the sun.

It was about seventy-five degrees and it was only ten o' clock. Their was a gentle warm breeze that swayed the slender palms trees. The weather forecast said it was just going to get hotter as the day goes on, maybe even up to one hundred degrees, without a single cloud in sight, and warned everyone to wear 30+ SPF sun protection, and to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water if you do decide to go outside. This makes it the hottest day of the year. It was supposed to be like this all week long and everyone was looking forward to it. The heat wasn't bothering anyone. They were used to it, I mean it's Florida. You shouldn't live here, or even dare visit, if you don't enjoy the sizzling heat. Everyone was just ecstatic that winter was finally over. Shorty shorts and tank tops were finally dug out of the way back of closets to everyone's pleasure. Besides for the over protective fathers, and grandparents. AC was on full blast for the few that stayed home. Everyone was just in a good mood.

Everyone and anyone was packing everything up; from their beach lounge chairs, to their beach towels, as well as their sun screen, and their coolers with sandwiches and soda. With one thing on mind, which was to enjoy spending their first day of Spring Break out at the the local popular beaches in Destin. All the most popular beaches were already starting to be packed up with all different kinds of people, of all different age groups. Pro surfers from different states came all the way over here with their boards, with one thing on mind. Which was to paddle out, and meet the waves that were coming straight towards them. And then they would stand up, and just surf the large fierce crashing waves, that were just calling out to them. Their eyes sparkling in the bright sun with determination.

Some went down to the shack bar, and got pina coladas, nachos, onion rings, or their famous greasy hot fries with loads and loads of sea salt. While teenage girls were laying on their beach towels in their bright and colorful bikini's, with their hair up and out of the way from their face, spending the day tanning on the warm hot sand or playing a game of volleyball with their friends or taking a dip in the warm sparkling ocean. The younger kids were busy trying to build the largest sand castles, or finding pretty seashells in all different sizes, or swimming close to shore with their swimmies on, while the adults sat on their striped lounge chairs under large umbrellas that are pushed deep into the white hot sand, as they watched their kids play, and talked to their friends and catching up. Some got into their kayak and canoes that they rented for the day, and went out into the ocean, and then jumped out when they were far out with their life jackets on.

Then others went out to the well known parks walking their dogs, or playing a game of fetch with a worn out tennis ball, letting them run loose. Another popular spot, that was always filled with tourists was down at the pier that was nine hundred feet long, and everyone went to all the different shops. Their was everything from Henna Tattoos, Souvenir shops that sold anything from t-shirts, expensive sea glass anklets, starfish key chains, sparkling earrings, and all different kind of things. And most people who visited the pier always stop by the famous Smoothie Bar called Ocean Breeze and Strawberry Smoothies, which sells well priced smoothies.

And then teenagers with their friends, and kids with their parents, stopped by at the local arcade that was beside the pier. Skeeball, Pacman, and Dance Dance Revolution were peoples personal favorites. Everyone collected hundreds, sometimes thousands of tickets, to claim different sorts of prizes. Or they bought an unlimited pass for the amusement park that was walking distant from the pier and stayed the entire day. Eatting fluffy cotton candy, and candy apples. Waiting in long lines to go on rides. And slamming into other people repeatedly, in bumper cars. Kids who could barely steer without their mom's help were giggling away happily as they slammed into teenagers who were having equally as much fun.

And the fortunate few, who had pools, stayed home and enjoyed their day in their backyards with family lounging around. Friends were invited over for barbecues, and shrimp as well as chips were served in clear glass bowls and placed on the table that was next to the pool, as the hot dogs, and burgers were being prepared on the flaming hot grill. Ice tea, and soda, and freshly made fruit popsicles was also served out to the guests.

The unfortunate were busy at work. While the night owls were still asleep.

But then their was an eighteen year old teenager who was currently in his final year of high school before he went off to business school out in New York. He wanted anything but to stay at home, and do absolutely nothing, and waste his day inside. But he couldn't do that because he had work.

"Dobe, shut up already. You're giving me a headache. I already told you this. I can't hang out with you today. I have to work the entire day." A tall lean teenager with fair skin and onyx black hair, was talking on his phone, as he got ready for a long day at work, that he was dreading. He much rather spend the entire day alone in his room by himself with the AC on full blast, playing on his XBox. Pretending that the rest of the world didn't exist.

He had his bright red swim trunks on, as well as a well fitted white shirt, that showed the outlines of his glorious abs, he also had a pair of black flip flops on. Around his neck was a red whistle that was connected by black string, that lay loosely on top of his clothed chest.

"And I still wouldn't want to hang out with you if I had today off." He said under his breath as his toast popped out of his toaster, he grabbed it and before walking out the door, he quickly ran upstairs to his room to get his favorite pair of sunglasses. He then walked back downstairs with his shades on and took the back door, that led to the patio. After exiting his house, he was welcomed by the humid air, that he'll have to be breathing in all day.

"Teme! I haven't seen you since school ended yesterday! You ran off right after school to where ever too. Are you avoiding me?" A voice whined on the other line of the phone. The man moved the phone away from his ear, and winced at his loudness. He never could understand how his friend could have so much energy. Especially at ten o' clock in the morning, he on the other hand was still half asleep.

"Work. I went to work. I told you this yesterday before I left." The man said his voice full of irritation.

He began walking out in the back of his family's house. He walk past the burnt logs from the large bomb fire that his brother had the night prior with his loud college friends, that kept him up until two o' clock in the morning. Him being tired was quite possibly the understatement of the century. And he then walked past his family's dock, that he used to spend hours out fishing with his brother when he was younger. Now he has not a single interest in fishing, like many things he used to love to do when he was younger. He grew out of it.

His house was located on the ocean. He then began walking towards his family five star hotel that is a prime place to go and vacation. His mother spent years trying to get it to the status that it is now. It was located on the same beach, but the area he lived on was private. He head up the trail that led to the hotel. He has been working at the hotel since last year as a lifeguard, and other days he was assigned to clean the rooms and he would have to vacuum, strip the bed and change the linen sheets, as well as clean the bathrooms. And some days he would even have to clean up throw up, which was almost worst than hearing all the girls whisper about how attractive he was as he sits in the chair for hours, usually doing nothing other than peering out to the crystal blue sparkling ocean and getting a nice summer tan. But their were times when he had to blow his whistle, and stop little kids from going out to far. And of course, sometimes annoying teenagers who wanted to catch his attention, sometimes pretended to drown and he would have to jump out of his chair, and run into the ocean to save them.

"That's all you ever do these days! I never get to see you!" His friend whined on the other line.

"Then, why don't you get a job at the hotel." He said sarcastically.

"Sasuke! That's the greatest idea ever! I'm gonna come down right now and apply. I'm sure your mom will hire my instantly! I could be the ramen guy!"

"We don't sell ramen, we sell high class food, Dobe."

"Well, whatever. I got to go. See you later, when I'm working with youu!" His friend said laughing and then hung up.

"Dobe.." He said and signed.

A.N Can you believe that this took me hours to write? But I'm proud of it! I hope you all like! I'm not exactly sure how Sasuke and Sakura are going to meet yet, but I have plans for afterwards! All I can thing about they bump into each other at the beach, but I dunnno that's kind of boring. Anyone have any ideas? I might go back and reedit this, and make sure there are no mistakes. But I'm too tired, to reread this right now. I already reread it so many times, as I was writing this. Do you like how I made the smoothie place the name of the story, hint hint hint! Okkkieee!
