Chapter 7: Practice and Filming
- -
Sakura opened her eyes. She felt dizzy and nauseous. She was covered in seat and it was dark outside. Her clock said 4:23 am. Ramen was wide awake next to her. Sakura sat up from her bed and shut off her ipod that was kept on for the past few hours.
-"What the heck happened to me?" Sakura asked herself. Then she remembered what Scott had said about her and that she took pills to help her sleep. Sakura got up from her bed and walked downstairs. She needed a quick snack to calm her down. She walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet. She took out a candy bar and started munching on it. Then something on the counter caught her attention. There were nine papers there with something written on them. There were lines to a movie! On the bottom it said 'Scott Wilson'. Sakura glared at the name.
-"They accepted the offer!" Sakura whispered coldly. Sakura wanted to rip up the lines into shreds and go up to Scott to punch him right in the nose.
-"Ugly?" A voice said. Sakura whirled around and saw Sai there looking at her.
-"What do you want?" Sakura asked. Sai walked up to the counter where Sakura was too.
-"Is there a reason that you're down here at 4:00 in the morning?" Sai asked. Sakura looked down.
-"I just wanted a snack and I saw this." Sakura held the lines up to Sai's face.
-"So they accepted his offer?" Sai asked.
-"What do you think?" Sakura asked.
-"I'm taking it that you're not handling this well." Sai said.
-"Bingo! We have a winner." Sakura said in sarcasm.
-"Well shouldn't' you be happy for your friends?" Sai asked. Sakura looked away.
-"I want to but how I can I?" Sakura asked.
-"Figure it out yourself." Sai said going back upstairs. Sakura stared at the spot he was just standing in.
How can I figure it myself? Sakura thought.

-"And so Scott said that we will be definitely famous after the movie is let out!" Naruto exclaimed. They were all out in the garden talking about the movie that Sakura's friends accepted. Sakura rolled her eyes. She wasn't interested in their story.
-"It's too bad you declined his offer thought Sakura-chan." Hinata said. Sakura stared at her.
-"What?" Sakura asked.
-"Yeah, Scott said that you didn't want to be in the movie so that's why you left." Neji said. Sakura clenched her fists. That bastard! He lied to them! I didn't decline his offer; he kicked me out of that place! Sakura thought.
-"Are you ok Sakura?" Gaara asked.
-"You look pale." Ino pointed out. Sakura smiled weakly.
-"I'm fine. Just thinking about the competition." Sakura lied.
-"So why did you decline his offer?" Tenten asked.
-"You would've made a beautiful actress." Matsuri said.
-"I agree.' Sasuke said. That's not what Scott thought of me. Sakura thought.
-"Well I just thought that if I did the movie then I wouldn't have enough time to practice on my dancing." Sakura decided to play along. But she was going to have to deal with Scott later because he lied to her friends.
-"Good point." Ino said.
-"I wish you luck Sakura-chan." Naruto said. Sakura smiled and nodded. Sai who sitting right across from Sakura was frowning. He really didn't get why Scott wouldn't let Sakura be in the movie. He needed to find out. But for now he had to keep his mind on dancing.
-"Well Ugly and I have to go." Sai said heading out.
-"Why?" Sakura asked. Sai turned to look at her.
-"We have to start practicing." He said. Sakura just remembered and got up too. She grabbed her dance bag and walked out with Sai.
-"That's right! Don't we start filming today with Scott?" Shikamaru asked.
-"Lazy ass is right! We do have to leave!" Ino yelled. They all walked out to go with Scott.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-"So what should we start on?" Sakura asked. Sai was stretching out on the floor of the building and in the room they rented.
-"Why don't we try some routines we learned with Madame?" Sai suggested. Sakura nodded.
-"Sounds good." Sakura said. Sakura and Sai walked to the middle of the room. Sai put his hand on her waist and the other with Sakura's hand.
It's not her fault she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused is unfixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead
Sasuke and Naruto were practicing their lines. But it was becoming difficult.
-"Scott! I can't understand the lines!" Naruto yelled. Scott shook his head.
-"The lines are easy Naruto! Stay with me please!" Scott pleaded. Sasuke yawned.
-"Naruto should've just played a rock instead." Sasuke said.
-"Ok. So this is the part where Ino comes in and starts slapping Naruto for cheating on her with Matsuri." Scott said. Ino smirked.
-"At least I get to slap him." Ino said to Matsuri who giggled.
-"Action!" Scott yelled. Ino runs in.
-"How could you do this to me Juugo?! I thought you loved me!" Ino cried. Naruto stuffed his hands in his pockets.
-"I never loved you. You were just someone to calm my nerves." Naruto said. Ino glared at him and started slapping him many times. Naruto had to withstand the pain.
So objection, I don't want to be an exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Sai spun Sakura three times before they separated. They had to dance on their own in this part. Sakura then walked step by step over to Sai where he paused in his place. When Sakura got to him he grabbed her hand they danced in a much faster pace. Sakura lifted her leg over Sai's shoulder. Then he dipped her.
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away
In another scene it showed Ino crying in her bedroom with Tenten consoling her.
-"I thought we were perfect for each other!" Ino cried on Tenten's shoulder.
-"I'm sorry this happened. I'm sure you'll find another man." Tenten said. Ino shook her head.
-"I'm done with guys! All they do is break your heart in pieces and then just blow you away!" Ino yelled. Tenten smiled at her. Scott and Shikamaru were impressed the way Ino acted. She perfect for this scene. Now was time for Hinata and Matsuri to come in.
Next to her cheap silicone I'm minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what's it about
Sai walked seductively in circles while Sakura was in the middle. Sakura had act sexy for this part whole Sai walked around her. Then he walked right in front of her, took her hands and their chests touched very roughly. Sakura blushed a little. They walked back and forth until they separated again.
So objection, I don't want to be an exception

But you don't even bother
Objection the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way
Ino and Tenten were now at the mall talking. Tenten was trying to name some guys Ino could start dating. That was when Hinata and Matsuri had to come in. In this movie Hinata has to play in mean girl which was sort of hard for her but she was willing to try.
-"Well look at here. It seems you girls had finally decided to show your faces." Matsuri said in a preppy voice. Hinata was smirking. Gaara taught her how to smirk since she didn't know how.
-"Leave us alone." Ino said in cold tone.
-"What's wrong, does Little Miss Blondie feel upset that her boyfriend doesn't lover her?" Hinata said in a tone that sounded she was talking to a baby.
-"Good one." Matsuri said. Hinata nodded. Tenten clenched her fists.
-"Why do you always have to pick on us?" She asked.
-"What else is there to do?" Matsuri asked.
-"You mean other than acting like a slut?" Ino asked. Hinata's jaw dropped and then she scoffed.
-"You're just jealous that we're much prettier than you." Hinata flipped her short hair. Naruto was impressed with her mean girl act. The others were really surprised that Hinata could actually play a mean girl.
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here
This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Oh don't you count on me boy!
Sai lifted Sakura up in the air and then put her down. Sakura lifted her leg to Sai's waists and bent it. Sai put his hand over her thigh. They looked side to side and then Sakura put down her leg. They turned so their backs touched. They were sort of shimmying up and down at the same time. Then they grabbed each other's hand from behind. They spun around.
So objection, I don't want to be an exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
The scene between Ino and the others finished. Now it was the boys' turn. They were at a bar getting a drink while they were talking.
-"So you cheated on your girlfriend for that girl you met here the other day?" Neji asked. Naruto nodded.
-"That girl wasn't worth it. But the one I met was." Naruto said taking a sip of beer (Which was really colored water)
-"It's a good thing you did. You were always complaining how your girlfriend would never make-out with you." Sasuke said.
-"What kind of girl does that?" Gaara asked.
-"Weird girls." Shikamaru answered. Naruto nodded and drank the rest of his beer.
-"That was perfect! So that's enough for the day." Scott said.
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away
Sakura got dipped for one last time before Sai lifted her and then they ended their dance by Sai grabbing Sakura's arms and pushed her down so that it looked like she was doing a split. They were panting real hard.
-"That was a great dance!" Sakura exclaimed. Sai helped her up.
-"I agree. My arms hurt." Sai said rubbing his arms.
-"How?" Sakura asked.
-"I had to lift you two times." Sai said. Sakura giggled. She grabbed her bag and took the tape of the song they used out.
-"Let's go. I want to go home and get a snack. I'm starving!"
-"Wait up!" Sai grabbed his dance bag and followed Sakura out the door.

-"Who knew acting was so hard?" Matsuri asked leaning her head back on the chair. Hinata was red.
-"It was so scary playing a mean girl." Hinata said. Naruto hugged her.
-"You were great Hinata-chan!" He exclaimed. Hinata smiled at his comment.
-"I wonder how Sakura and Sai's practice went." Sasuke.
-"I'll ask them when they get back." Gaara. Just then the door opened and Sakura and Sai walked in. Sakura was on Sai's back while he carried her to the living room.
-"Is Sakura ok? Did she get hurt?" Sasuke and Gaara both asked in concern. Sai shook his head.
-"Nothing bad. She just got tired so had to carry her. And I think she fell asleep." Sai said looking at Sakura.
-"I'll take care of that." Ino said.
-"What are you going to do?" Shikamaru asked.
-"Why do I feel afraid?" Neji asked.
-"Hey forehead!" Ino yelled. Sakura still stayed asleep.
-"She must be really tired." Tenten said.
-"I've got it!" Naruto whispered something in Sakura's ear.
-"Auuuughhhh! Anything but that!" Sakura yelled getting off Sai's back.
-"It worked!" Naruto yelled.
-"What'd you say to her?" Sasuke asked.
-"I told her that if she doesn't wake up then Ino would make eat her cooking." Naruto whispered. But Ino heard him.
-"MY cooking isn't that bad! Right Shika-kun?" Ino asked.
-"I have no involvement in this whatsoever." Shikamaru said. Ino twitched. She then started chasing Naruto.
-"How was practice?" Gaara asked.
-"Fine. But I'm so tried!" Sakura said slumping down on the couch.
-"That's cool." Matsuri said.
-"So how was filming with Scott." Sakura asked. Sasuke noticed that when said Scott she said with anger.
-"Great! We had so much fun! I still wish that you didn't decline his offer though." Tenten said. Sakura looked down.
-"Yeah. Too bad for me." She whispered.

Sakura's friends invited Scott for dinner. Sakura glared at him most of the time. When the others weren't listening Scott would make rude comment about Sakura.
-"These people are great at acting!" Scott exclaimed to Sai.
-"I guess they are." Sai said.
-"How would you like it if you played in it too?" Scott asked. Sai shook his head.
-"Sorry, but I'm already busy with tango." Sai said.
-"I'm sure we can use dance scenes in the movie." Scott persuaded.
-"Can't. I dance with Sakura and Sakura only." Sai said coldly. He knew what Scott had done to her.
-"I see. Well show me this Sakura and I'll let her into the movie." Scott said.
-"She's right over there." Sai pointed to Sakura who was scratching Ramen's ear again.
-"Her? She isn't worth being in a movie. Why don't you just dump her and I'll get you a new one." Scoot said. Sai glared at him.
-"She's my friend, you over-weight lump." Sai said as he walked off. Scott just stood there. When it was time to eat Scott was worse.
-"Scott, did you know that Sakura-chan and Sai-kun are wonderful dancers?" Hinata asked. Scott shook his head.
-"I didn't know. But those two seem like a perfect couple." Scott said. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
-"Me and Sakura are dating." He said. Scott laughed nervously.
-"Of course! Sorry, my mistake!" he said. Sasuke nodded and went back to eating.
-"So Sakura, why did you dye your hair? It's so ridiculous to have pink hair." Scott said. Sakura slammed her fist down.
-"It's natural." She said. Scott ignored her.
-"Well be careful. Someone could mistake you for a fruit." Scott joked. They all laughed. Except for Sai and Sakura. Sai didn't find any humor in it. It was more like an insult. Sakura felt like crying. She got up and walked upstairs.
-"I'm going to bed!" She yelled before slamming her door. Sai also got up.
-"I lost my appetite." He said and walked upstairs too.
-"What's with them?" Neji asked.
-"I'm going to go check on her." Sasuke said.
-"Leave the girl alone. Forehead woman just needs some time alone." Scott said taking more bites out of his food. Alicia who was serving the drinks glared at him. Nobody makes fun of Sakura! Alicia pretended to trip and the sodas fell on Scott.
-"I'm so sorry!" Alicia said going back into the kitchen.
-"Are you ok Scott?" Ino asked.
-"I'm fine. But that maid is just trouble. Why don't you just fire her?" Scott asked.
-"Because she's my friend you goon." Sakura said. They turned to see Sakura there mad. She heard the whole thing about Alicia.
-"I see. Well tell your friend that she needs to be more careful." Scott said.
-"I'll do my best." Sakura said. Alicia came out again.
-"Sakura, Ese hombre tiene mala educación." Alicia spoke. Sakura nodded. (Translation: Sakura, that man has bad manners.)
-"No le das atención. Tire agua a su cabeza cuando el es mal contigo otra vez." Sakura said. Scott rolled his eyes. (Translation: Don't pay attention. Throw water at his head when he is bad with you again)
-"It's rude to speak another language in front of people who don't know it." Scott said.
-"And it's rude when you say rude comments to my friends." Sakura retorted.
-"Can't you just be nice to me?" Scott asked.
-"Well you can't have a normal figure but we both can't do anything about it." Sakura as she took Alicia's arm and led her upstairs.
-"Ignore Sakura. She must've had a bad day." Matsuri said. Scott nodded and went back to eating.

-"That Scott has the worst manners ever! I can't believe you friends actually like him!" Alicia yelled.
-"I know! He just doesn't like me!" Sakura said sitting on her bed.
-"Did you happen to do anything to him?" Alicia asked.
-"No! I just met him yesterday and he already hates me! I didn't say a single word to him until he told me that I couldn't be in his movie." Sakura said. Alicia smirked.
-"Why don't we do something fun tomorrow?" She suggested.
-"Like what?" Sakura asked.
-"Like making his day a living hell just like he did today." Alicia said. Sakura smiled.
-"Perfect!"
-"Yup! Well I'm going to bed now. Good night Sakura-chan." Alicia said when she closed the door. Sakura nodded and changed into her pajamas. Before climbing into bed Sakura took three more pills from yesterday. They did make her feel sick after sleeping but helped her. Even if it was a danger to her. Sakura climbed into bed and closed her eyes drifting off to sleep.

Please Read and Review!
Here's a preview of the next chapter: Joaquin
Sakura and Alicia were still laughing at what they did to Scott. They ran into the streets laughing.
-"I'll be right back Sakura-chan. I'm going to buy some water." Alicia said as ran to a store. Sakura smiled walked around. That was when she bumped into someone. She and the person fell to the floor.
-"Are you ok?" The boy asked whom she bumped into. He was about her age.
-"I'm fine---you're that boy!" Sakura exclaimed.
