Bonsoir everyone. Sorry I took so long to update. I've actually been busy for a change-not just pure laziness! It's amazing really. Anyways, here is chapter 7! Sit back, relax, and read! Oh and a warning to you all-this chapter is a filler. Actually, all the chapters in-between their points of interests(when they're driving on the road) will be fillers, so be ready for a lot of 'em And most of this chapter will be song lyrics.
I don't own Naruto or any of the songs they listen to on the radio.
"Are we there yet?" Naruto whined after 30 minutes of driving. It took 4 hours and 33 minutes to get to Tallahassee from St. Petersburg (I mapquested it-you know, like googled it, but except I mapquested it.) so we still had 4 hours and 3 minutes to go-if traffic was good that is.
I sighed from my seat on the floor of the back of the truck. "No Naruto. You should even know this yourself cause you're the one who's driving-not me!"
Naruto sighed impatiently. "Well how much longer?"
"4 hours and wait for it…2 minutes." Tenten said from her seat on the ground beside Neji.
"Ugh!!!" Naruto moaned.
"What?" Sasuke asked from the shotgun seat besides Naruto.
"I don't think I can drive that long! I'll probably fall asleep at the wheel!" Naruto commentated.
"Well when you get tired either Neji, Sasuke, or Tenten will take over." I suggested. But apparently, I was wrong because Neji then said, "Actually Sakura, we've got it all figured out. Every 2 hours we will switch drivers so we can all rest."
"Oh…okay." I said with a sigh. In a way, I really couldn't believe that I, Sakura Haruno was actually doing this. Going on a wild goose hunt around the U.S. with only a bunch of post-it's for direction. It just didn't seem possible. I'm probably the most un-spontaneous person you will EVER meet and I totally, absolutely HATE change. So something like this is very unlike me. But hey, I might actually enjoy this…might.
I pulled out the post-it's from the back pocket of my jeans and looked them over. I had planned out everything accordingly(see my un-spontaneousness?): If we left St. Petersburg at around 8 oh clock-which we did- and had about a 30 minute leeway for traffic and other things that would make us stop along the way, and we had about 4 hours and 33 minutes to drive, we should actually get to Tallahassee by 1:03 in the morning-leaving about 4 and a half hours till sunrise at 5:30 (usually it would be 6:00 but remember that daylight savings is over people). So that was perfect and all ready to go, but what do we do on the way there? I mean talking is great and all but eventually you run out of things to talk about. iPod's are cool too but since it'll be a while till I actually get to recharge mine again, I'm gonna save my blue mini for the longer trips-like the one to Frankfurt or Wilmette let's say. We tried playing cards for a while but the game Royal Egyptian is a bitch on the hands, you can only play spit with two people, B.S. isn't as fun as Royal Egyptian, and Go Fish and War go on for like… ever. Plus, an hour into the drive, Naruto started whining like crazy.
"I'm tired! Ugh! Someone take over for me…PLEASE!"
"No. You've still got half an hour to go before I take over."
Of course Naruto being the type of person that he is kept on complaining then all of a sudden, Ino's phone began to ring and coincidentally her ringtone just happened to be:
Yep, Rihanna's song "Shut Up and Drive." We all couldn't help but laugh at the coincidence. "You should listen to Rihanna Naruto. Very befitting ringtone, Ino." Tenten said between laughs. "Thanks." Ino replied as she answered her cell.
I looked at Naruto. He was laughing too. I smiled.
"Okay, I think I'm gonna turn on the radio now guys." Naruto said.
"Wh-what?" Shikamaru asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes, stretched and yawned, waking up from his nap.
"Nothing. " Neji said.
Naruto turned on the radio and as he flicked through the stations, I heard bits and pieces of songs.
"Stop!" Ino yelled out all of a sudden. "This is our song guys!" she said to Tenten, Hinata and I. I listened and couldn't help but smile. It was our favorite song-or at least it was till my mom died.
"Love Song" by Sara Bereilles
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you
asked for it'cause you need one, you see
Ino was now singing at the top of her lungs-practically yelling. Ino didn't exactly have the best voice in the world (a nice way of saying she sounded like a frog was stuck in her throat) but she still kept on singing. Soon Tenten and Hinata joined in and they were waiting for me to start singing as well. Personally I wasn't in the mood for singing but since I'm not one to disappoint my friends I started to sing quietly.
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
Now I was singing full swing. I don't know why I love this song so much but I really do. It makes me all happy and giddy inside…oh God! That line was really gay!
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you
asked for it'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stayI
f all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today
Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I sayI won't write you a love song'cause you asked for it'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song'cause you asked for it'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today
The song ended and we sat there smiling like lovesick fools. "Okay. Now that the girly song is over, how about something a little more hardcore?" Kiba asked as he got up to change to station and cranked up the volume to max as Linkin Park came on.
"Hell yeah!" Naruto said. "I love this song!"
"Love Linkin Park, period!" Kiba yelled getting hyped up.
"Given Up" by Linkin Park
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up...
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fk is wrong with me!
Now it was the guys turn to rock out to the song. While Kiba and Naruto were singing along with Linkin Park, Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru were head-banging along to the beat. Not to say that I didn't like this song- I actually love this song as well but it was the guys turn to spazz out-or at least Naruto and Kiba. Actually, it was amazing that Naruto could still rock out while watching the road but I guess he has hidden talents that I don't know about.
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up...
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fk is wrong with me!
GOD!
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my...
Put me out of my fking misery!
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all awayI
'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fk is
Wrong with me!
With the end of the song came…
"I Don't Wanna Be In Love" by Good Charlotte
She's going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there's morethan he gave she's looking for
"Love this song!" Tenten and, Naruto, and I yelled simultaneously. We turned to look at each other and smiled. Then we started singing at the top of our lungs.
He calls her up
He's trippin on the phone now
He doesn't want her out thereAnd alone now
He knows she's movin it
Knows she's using it
Now he's losing it
She don't care
Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now

Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feelin' good now
Don't be afraid to get down
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
He was always giving her attention
Looking hard to find the things she mentioned
He was dedicated
But most suckers hate it
That girl was fine
But she didn't appreciate him
She calls him up
She's tripping on the phone now
He had to get up
And he ain'tcomin home now
He's tryin to forget herT
hat's how we come with him
When he first met her
When they first got together
Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love

To the beat (x3)
You got nothing to lose
Don't be afraid to get down
We break up
It's something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
It's okay, let it go
Get out there and find someone
It's too late to be trippin' on the phone here
Get off the wire
You know everything is good here
Stop what you're doin

Everybody put up your hands

Nooo
Noooo
Now you know what to do, so come on feelin' good
"Okay, I get to choose a station next" Hinata said getting up to change the station. "Yes!" Hinata said as the next song started playing.
"Bubbly" by ColbieCaillat
I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now'
Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
And it starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
Ino started singing with Hinata and soon so were Tenten and I. "This is like a karaoke session." I said over the music.
The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm
And they start in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now'
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
And it starts in my soul
And I lose all contro
lWhen you kiss my nose
The feeling shows'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight
Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go
wherever you go
I always know
'Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while
The song ended and Hinata sighed. "That's my all time favorite song." I smirked. I couldn't help but notice that Hinata was staring at Naruto the whole time she was singing this song.
"Alright, next song." Neji said as he changed the station.
"Thnks Fr ThMmrs" by Fall Out Boy
I'm gonna make you bend and break
(it sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer, but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
(let the good times roll, let the good times roll
)And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
Who does he think he is?
If that's the worst you've got, better put your fingers back to the keys
"OMG!!!!" Ino squeled. "I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Fall Out Boy! Pete is sooo hot!"
I laughed. Ino could be such a fan girl sometimes, but that didn't stop all of us from singing.
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you only sweeter
One night yeah and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See he tastes like you only sweeter
Ohhhhhh
Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
In this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for (except for
When you look into the past
(look into the past)
One night stand. (One night stand, off!)
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you only sweeter
One night yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See, he tastes like you only sweeter
ohhhh
And at this part Naruto snickered at the innuendo of the song, being so immature that he is. I rolled my eyes and sang this part a little bit louder.
(They say) I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms, collecting page-six lovers
Get me out of my mind
Get you out of those clothes
I'm a line away
From getting you into the mood (wa-ooooohhh)
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you only sweeter
One night yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See, he tastes like you only sweeter
One night and one more time (one more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great (even though they weren't so great)
He tastes like you only sweeter
One night yeah one more time (one more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories (for the memories)
Thanks for the memories (for the memories)
See, he tastes like you only sweeter
Ohhhh
"Oh how I love Fall Out Boy." Ino sighed as the song ended and the next one began.
"Who Knew" by Pink
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
I froze at the sound of Pink's voice coming in from the speaker. Don't get me wrong. I love this song-or at least I used to love this song but it couldn't help but remind me of my mom. Especially the chorus.
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
By now I could feel little pinpricks at the edge of my eyes where tears threatened to fall. No one else seemed to notice that I wasn't singing along. I turned and caught Sasuke's eye and he seemed to notice my discomfort.
"Hey guys, maybe we should change the song?" Sasuke said over the music.
"Why should we-OH!" Ino exclaimed, catching on as she looked at me.
"Right!" Kiba said as he hurried to change the station.
Phew. I've saved face in front of my friends and managed not to let my mask fall. Joy.
Just then the chorus to Paris Hilton's song "Stars Are Blind" came on.
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make it nice and naughty
Be the devil and angel too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Maybe I'm perfect for you
Ohh
ohh
ohh
"Oh my God!" Neji screamed. "Turn this crap off!"
"My ears, my ears!" Tenten said covering her ears.
"Aahh! Paris Hilton sucks!" Kiba said, turning the radio off.
"Thank God!" Sasuke said.
And even though all my friends and I are completely different, we all shared one thing in common: our hate and disgust towards Paris Hilton.
"Who in their right mind would even think about signing Paris Hilton for a record deal?" I asked, my mask getting back in place.
"I have no idea." Hinata said.
We decided not to turn the radio back on for fear of another Paris Hilton hit…………
And there you have it. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist the urge to put even one Fall Out Boy song in the chapter. But I did put a lot of my other favorite songs in there like Given Up, I Don't Wanna Be in Love, Bubbly, and Love Song. Shut Up and Drive is pretty good too (did you know that Fall Out Boy does it with Rihanna? It's them playing the electric guitars and if you listen carefully to the chorus you can hear Patrick's voice in the background underneath Rihanna's.) but I absolutely hate Stars are Blind and Paris Hilton…..
Read and review. Auwfvierdersen! (Good bye in German, but I don't think I spelled it right…)
