Daybreak

Sarah's Dad

Kiya was on the phone with her father, all the girls looking at her eagerly. Sarah, Sally, and Tia just stared, confused. They were unable to understand her Spanish. Megan smiled every time she understood a word and Morgan just waited patiently. "Yay! Gracias, Papie!" Kiya hung up.

"Tobi found the chocolate!" Tobi ran in the room, spun in a circle, and ran back to the kitchen.

"No, Tobi, bad, un! Give it here, hm!" Deidara chased after him.

"No-o, sempai! Don't!" Tobi cried.

Everyone turned back to Kiya. "He said yes!" She cheered.

"Huh?" Megan asked, still focused on Tobi and Deidara.

"Now Sarah just needs to call her dad." Morgan looked over at Sarah.

"No-o. It'll be much easier in person. If I called him he'd yell at my mom, thinking she put me on another weird medication. Then my mom would think I just need more medicine and we all know how that'll work out." Sarah sighed.

"Are you not on enough medication?" Megan asked. Sarah just shrugged.

"Let's go then!" Tia yelled with enthusiasm.

"Should we really go along with this?" Kisame asked Itachi.

"No, but you really don't need the fuzz after you." Sarah said, referring to the police.

"The fuzz?" Hidan questioned.

"They're the bad guys!" Megan warned.

"The fuzz? Could their name be any more fucking pathetic?" Hidan asked.

"Well, actually they're called the police. I just like to call them the fuzz." Sarah said.

"My family calls them the pandas." Megan smiled.

"Pandas? What do pandas have to do with the police?" Tia asked.

"They're fat, they're hairy, smelly, and they drive black and white cars." Megan explained.

"Hey! My uncle was a police man!" Sarah emphasized.

"Was? What happened to him? Didn't he get fired?" Megan asked.

"He ran for sheriff, so the sheriff fired him." Sarah rolled her eyes. "Okay, we better get going."

"I'll go get the truck. Come on, Morgan." Kiya smiled. They exited the house and drove off in Morgan's car.

"What's a truck?" Kisame questioned.

Megan fell over, laughing. Two minutes passed by and Megan was still laughing. She stopped and gasped for air. She caught her breath and calmed down. "Oh. You're serious?"

Tobi walked back in the room, his head hanging low. "You know what chocolate does to you, Tobi, un!" Deidara followed him.

"I'd better call my mom and tell her I'm visiting Dad. I don't want her to get home when I'm not here." Sarah said, pulling out her cell phone. She walked to the opposite side of the living room and started pacing in circles.

"Does she always walk in circles?" Sally questioned.

"Yes." Megan sighed.

"Hey, Mom. I wanna go to Dad's for a little while. I really miss him." Sarah talked to her mom. "Yeah, I know it's not his week, but- I don't know. He might be working. I can call him." Sarah continued. "Oh, they can hang out with me. I'll just stop by Dad's for a little while. Maybe go to the mall afterwards." Sarah let out a sigh. "No, I'm not the one driving." Sarah assured her. "Don't worry. We're just going to hang out in Joplin for a while. I was planning on spending the night at Dad's though. Sally and Megan will still be with me." Sarah explained. There was a pause. "Okay? Yay. Thank you, Mommy. Love you. Bye." Sarah hung up. "She said okay." Sarah smiled.

"You should make sure your Dad's home." Itachi told her.

Sarah sighed. "I hate talking to people over the phone; especially while being stared at. It's just… awkward."

"I have to pee." Megan got up and left the living room.

"That's… lovely." Sarah mumbled, sarcastically. "So…" Sarah said, sitting in the computer chair and resting her legs on the desk.

"Yeah…" Deidara spoke.

"Where's my popcorn, Sarah?!" Sally suddenly yelled.

"Are you kidding me?" Sarah questioned.

"No! Now be a good host and provide your friends with some popcorn!" Sally ordered.

Sarah looked to her right, where the air-hockey table was. She picked up the puck and threw it at Sally. "Eat that." The puck missed.

"You throw like a girl!" Sally laughed.

"You fight like one." Sarah mumbled.

"Hey!" Sally said, offended.

Fluffy walked over to Sarah and stared at her. "What?" Sarah questioned the fat cat. Fluffy jumped on Sarah's lap. The chair broke, making her fall. Fluffy hissed and ran behind Kisame. "Ehhh." Sarah mumbled in pain.

Tia and Sally were pointing and laughing at Sarah. Deidara snickered. Kisame was laughing too. "What did I miss?" Megan walked in.

"Fluffy jumped on my lap and broke my chair." Sarah mumbled, still lying on her back.

"Aw! I missed it?!" Megan whined.

"Now that was funny!" Tia laughed.

Megan looked over at Fluffy. Fluffy hissed at her. "I still don't know why your cat hates me." Megan glared at the cat.

A honk was heard from outside. "They're back!" Tia walked over to the door and opened it. Morgan waved, signaling for us to come on out.

Sarah jumped up and threw her green bag over her shoulder. "Come, friends!" She pointed at the door.

Hidan tried to open the door, but was failing miserably. "Open the fuck up, you damn door!" Hidan yelled.

"You don't slide it. You push it." Sarah said slowly.

Hidan pushed on the handle. "If I hear one smartass comment, I will fucking kill you guys."

Megan burst out in laughter. "You can't open a door!" Hidan was about to turn around and cuss her out, but Sally pushed him through the doorway.

"Hurry up! I want to meet Sarah's dad! He sounds so cool!" Sally pushed him until they were on the porch.

The Akatsuki walked through the doorway and out to the truck. "So this is a truck… how does it work?" Kisame questioned.

"Well, you get in. You shut the door. And you go!" Megan spoke in a retarded hick accent.

He sighed, annoyed. Kiya opened the back of the red truck. "There you go." She smiled.

"Who's sitting where?" Sarah asked Kiya.

"I'm driving. Megan's sitting next to me to give me directions because you don't know how to. And then three people can sit in the seats behind us. Everyone else is in the back." Kiya explained.

"Wait. There are only three extra seats." Sarah counted her fingers, "Sally, Tia, Morgan." "Oh…" Sarah spoke.

"Yeah. One of you has to sit in the back with the Akatsuki." Kiya told her.

Sarah saw that the Akatsuki were already in the back of the truck; she then looked to see that her friends were already piling in the middle seats. "I should've expected this."

"You should have." Sally laughed, getting in last.

"We love you, Sarah." Kiya said.

"Mhm. Sure you do." Sarah said getting in the truck. Kiya shut the back and got in the driver's seat. She started the car, pulled out of the drive way, and headed for Joplin.

Sarah looked around and noticed she was sitting next to Deidara and across from Hidan. "Could this truck be any fucking smaller?" Hidan asked her.

"This is largest vehicle we could get our hands on." Sarah said.

"I don't mean to be ungrateful ,un, but this isn't the most impressive way to travel yeah. We could easily outrun this thing, un." Deidara spoke.

"We're still in town. There is a speed limit. Once we get on the highway we'll go much faster." Sarah assured him.

"How long will it take this piece of shit to get to our destination?" Hidan questioned.

"Between twenty and thirty minutes." Sarah answered.

"Squirrel!" Kiya's voice echoed in our ears as she swerved the truck to avoid hitting a squirrel.

"What the fuck?!" Hidan cursed.

"Tobi's scared!" Tobi cried.

"Flying is sounding better and better every second, un." Deidara commented.

"Well, this is the only vehicle we have. I know it's not that impressive, but it's better than nothing." Sarah mumbled. She knew it was going to be a long ride.


They hit a bump, waking Sarah back up. She blushed when she realized she had fallen asleep on Deidara's shoulder. "How long have I been asleep?"

"About twenty minutes, un. I'm surprised you stayed asleep with Hidan cussing every time a vehicle passed us, un." Deidara chuckled.

"Damn it!" Hidan cussed, flipping off another car. A kid in the car was making faces at him. "Fuck no! Someone pull this piece of shit over! That kid's burning in hell!" Hidan yelled.

"Calm down. You're just wasting your breath." Itachi spoke.

Deidara sighed. "You didn't miss much, un."

"Are we there yet?" Sasori asked impatiently.

We went over a large hill, making us levitate for a moment. Sarah smiled. "Almost. This is the road my dad lives on. You might want to watch your heads. There are a lot of hills."

We went over another hill. Kisame hit his head on the ceiling. "Ow! Shouldn't she slow down?"

Hidan was laughing at Kisame until we went off another hill and he hit his head. "Holy shit! Slow the fuck down!"

"She probably wants to, but Megan's most likely making her speed up. We always look forward to getting on this road. My dad drives so fast we fly for a few moments." Sarah smiled. "Here comes the best and last one!" Sarah exclaimed. All the Akatsuki members covered the top of their heads. We flew off the hill for a moment, making us levitate again, and then came back down.

"Tobi wants to do that again!" Tobi cheered.

"I'm flying next time, un." Deidara sighed.

"The house is just to the right and up that large hill." Sarah said.

Kiya drove over the large hill and parked beside a gray truck and small gray car.

"Are we here, un?" Deidara asked.

"Yeah." Sarah answered. Kiya opened the back of the truck. Hidan was out before anyone had time to blink.

"It's about fucking time!" he complained.

"I was about to say the same thing." Sasori spoke.

Sarah crawled out and was followed by all the other members of the Akatsuki. Kiya shut the back. The look on Hidan's face when he turned around to see the house was priceless. "WHAT THE HELL? YOU EXPECT US TO STAY IN THIS HELL HOLE? IT'S WAY TOO FUCKING SMALL!" Hidan shouted in Sarah's ear.

"My dad is the only parent that'll allow you to stay willingly. You don't have much of a choice. You have nowhere to go, no way of getting around, no jobs, and no money. I'm sorry my house is small, but it's better than nothing." Sarah said, opening the gate and walking towards the porch. She knocked on the door. There was no response. She turned the handle to find it unlocked. Sarah held the door open and allowed everyone to enter the house.

"Where is your father?" Itachi questioned.

"He's either sleeping or in the pool." Sarah answered.

"You have a pool?" Sally got excited.

Sarah was interrupted before she could speak. "Damn, Sarah. How big of a TV does your dad need?" Tia asked.

"It's a fifty-inch. My dad may not be the best at taking care of his house, but when it comes to games, television, and computers, they must be up to date and the best." Sarah spoke.

"This place is a fucking mess." Hidan said, referring to the empty plates and cups, bills, and empty Dr Pepper cans scattered across the living room floor. "It smells like smoke too."

"My dad smokes. And if you think this is bad, you should see the kitchen." Sarah sighed. Sarah walked out of the living room, down the hallway, and to her dad's bedroom door. She knocked on it. "Dad, are you in there?" There was no response. She walked back to the living room. "Stay here. I'm going to see if he's in the back." Sarah walked out the front door.

A door in the hallway opened and the sound of someone coughing to clear their voice was heard. A tall and large man with blackish, grayish hair walked down the hallway. He stopped when he saw a group of people in his living room. "What the hell are all of you doing here?!" he shouted.

"Hi, Sarah's dad!" Megan waved.
