A/N: Yay reviews! Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, let's try for more this time!

Lampchop and the friend of Sasuke's

"How about this?" Alex had tied her hitai-ite around her head like a bonnet, tying it under her chin.

"No no, like this!" Charlie took Alex's hitai-ite and proceeded to try and braid her hair with it.

"Oh this is no good I need to remove the metal thingy in order to braid your hair, give me that knife I'll cut it out." Charlie started to cut out the metal symbol, when Naruto came into the ramen stand the girls were eating at.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to braid Alex's hair, but the damn metal thing needs to go."

"You can't get rid of that! It's your hitai-ite. It means you're a ninja!"

"Fine then you braid Alex's hair!"

"Ninjas don't braid hair!"

"Here are your orders." Just then, Alex and Charlie's food came, stopping their argument. Naruto sat down next to them as they ate.

"I can't believe they actually made you two genin! Wow and here I thought they were just humoring you, did----" Sai cut him off as he walked up to them.

"Comrades, the Hokage requests our presence in her office." Charlie and Alex got up and followed Sai, leaving Naruto with their uneaten food. He was about to eat it when Alex rushed back into the restaurant, and grabbed her food, leaving Naruto very sullen looking.

------------ Later at the Hokage's Office ------------

Team Fuzzy Pink Friendship was assembled in Tsunade's office. Alex was off in a corner eating her food, and Charlie was attempting to explain the importance of touching moments to Sai. Anko was the only one paying attention to their orders.

"I need you four to go to a nearby village locate a man at the local hotel and give him this." She set a black briefcase on her desk. "He'll know what it is. Just make sure no one sees you and you aren't followed. Here's the address." She gave a slip of paper to Anko, who turned to the others.

"You hear that maggots? Get moving!" She picked up the briefcase and they left the Hokage's office. "I'll give you an hour to get your things then we meet at the gate, understood?" They nodded. "Good." With that, they all left to go to their respected houses or living quarters. Alex and Charlie reached their apartment and began to pack their things, Alex stuffing a few necessities in a messenger bag, while Charlie proceeded to put everything she owned in her orange backpack. Alex stared, already completely packed.

"Um, Charlie…we're only going to be there for one night, I don't think you'll need all that."

"Yes I will! You never know when nail polish remover, duct tape, hangers and nitroglycerin will come in useful."

"But do you need the fish food?"

"Alright I'll leave that but I'm taking the duct tape." Charlie removed most of the things from her backpack and girls set out for the gate. When they got there Sai and Anko were already waiting.

"Alright maggots let's get going." Team Fuzzy Pink Friendship set out, but it wasn't long before Charlie and Alex got bored.

"I see with my little eye something green."

"Grass."

"No!"

"Leaves?"

"Get out of my head!" Sai gave them an odd look while Charlie stared suspiciously at Alex. "What am I thinking about now?" Alex sighed.

"Erik?" Charlie gasped.

"How did you know? Are you---" Anko held up her hand.

"Hold on maggots, we'll take a five minute break, I'll be right back." With that, she jumped into the trees and disappeared, leaving Sai with the briefcase. They all looked at each other.

"Quick Sai hand me the briefcase."

"Our instructions were not to open it."

"Sai an important lesson in childhood is snooping when you're not supposed to. Now hand me the case, and gain back part of your lost childhood." Sai handed the case over to Charlie, who then opened it. Everyone gasped when they saw what was in it.

"Holy shit! Look at all that money!" Alex and Charlie quickly glanced at each other before they started stuffing wads of cash down their shirts. Sai tried to stop them, but they ran around stuffing it in their pockets and down their shirts. He came up with a plan.

"Alex, since we are continuing our childhood lessons, will you give me a hug?" Alex looked at him warily, before walking closer. Once she got closer, Sai grabbed her and 'hugged' her while stealing back all the money. Charlie had run up behind Sai and stuffed some of the money in his pockets before running and sitting innocently on a rock just as Anko walked back into the clearing.

"Sai! Alex! What are you doing?" Alex held up her hands, all remaining money out of sight, while Sai blinked, holding wads of cash. Anko gasped.

"Sai were you stealing Lady Tsunade's money? Good girl Alex, way to try and keep your teammate out of corruption. Sai you're on probation for the rest of the mission you are not to leave my sight." Sai looked back at Alex and Charlie who were sitting innocently on a rock. He learned a valuable childhood lesson today, never be the scapegoat. He looked at the girls with what he hoped was anger and betrayal.

------------ A few hours later --------------------------

Team Fuzzy Pink Friendship arrived at the village. The team walked up to a hotel Tsunade had directed them to, and went inside.

"Go into the room and wait for me there. Alex since you have proven yourself the most responsible you're in charge of Sai, make sure he doesn't engage in any more acts of corruption." Alex saluted Anko as she walked off to deliver the money. They went up to their room and put their things inside, while Sai glared suspiciously at them. He walked up to Alex.

"Alex, could I have another hug, to show there are no hard feelings?" Alex nodded and walked up to him. He smirked before grabbing her and crushing her.

"Sai you bastard, let go can't breathe….." Sai released her and stepped back.

"Oh I'm sorry, did that hurt, my apologies…" He walked to the other side of the room and sat down, pulling out his sketchbook. Charlie looked at Alex, who was laying on the floor.

"I think I broke a rib."

"I could have fixed that but someone said the 'how to fix every broken bone in the human body' book won't come in handy."

"Shut up." Charlie just shrugged and walked over to the window. She was people watching when suddenly…

"SASUKE!" Charlie had spotted a tall black haired brooding male. She rushed out the door, and ran into the street. Alex was about to follow her when Sai spoke up.

"Anko-sensei said not to leave the room until she came back." Alex started at Sai until an idea came to her.

"She also put me in charge, so whatever I say goes. Stay here, and guard the ice bucket Sai. Guard it with your life!" With that Alex ran out of the room. Sai glared at the door. If he knew what emotions were, he would've said he hated them, but seeing as he did not understand emotions he went back to sketching his picture of a bare chested Sasuke and Neji.

Meanwhile Charlie had been trying to locate Sasuke. She spotted him entering a bar and followed him in. She found him sitting on a bar stool, and went over to him.

"Sasuke what are you doing? I thought you stopped drinking after the oven mitt incident. Sasuke, hey Sasuke pay attention to me damn it!" The man turned around and looked at Charlie.

"Oh Sasuke what deep circles under your eyes you have." The man stared at Charlie.

"You know my brother?" Charlie blinked.

"Sasuke you have a brother? Oh when can I meet him?" Itachi stared at her.

"I am not Sasuke." Charlie stared at him, before continuing.

"Sasuke I left my wallet, buy me drinks!" Itachi's eye twitched.

"I told you, I am not Sasuke."

"Oh Sasuke you're so silly, I want one of those!" The strange foreign girl who thought he was his little brother pointed to a large mug of beer. Itachi squinted at it, wondering why she wanted something like that. Just then, Charlie looked down at Itachi's hands.

"Oooo, I love your nail polish, did you get a manicure?" Itachi perked slightly, finally someone noticed!

"Yes, down the street." Charlie gasped excitedly.

"I want one too! Then we can get matching pedicures! Come on!" She drug him out of the bar, chatting about how cool their nails would look and how they should get margaritas while getting their pedicures.

Meanwhile on the other side of town Alex was wandering around looking for Charlie or a new man to buy her drinks and give her sugar. As she was passing a shop, she happened to look inside it, and froze. Shit. Alex started backing away slowly and was about to turn and run away when suddenly…

"Lambchop?" Kisame appeared from the store. Alex started screaming and ran away as fast as she could. "Wait Lambchop come back I just bought a new roaster! We could try it out together!" Alex continued to scream her head off and run away. Kisame promptly started chasing her.

"I'm not a sheep! You can't eat me!"

"Its okay sweetie. We can work through it I don't mind!"

"I do!" While Alex was looking back to yell at Kisame she ran into a pole, allowing Kisame to catch up with her.

"Oh Lambchop I'm so glad you decided to stop running away. Let's go have a romantic dinner." Kisame grabbed Alex by her leg and started dragging her away. Alex was screaming the entire time. As he dragged her behind him down the street, she saw Sai waving merrily at her from their hotel window. She shook her fist at him.

Meanwhile, a few blocks away, Charlie and Itachi exited the nail parlor, admiring their manicures and pedicures.

"Oh this is great, now we match!" She looked down at their feet.

"Oh Sasuke we need new sandals to show off our pedicures! Come on!" With that, she drug him down the street to the shoe store, Itachi surprisingly compliant. It was hard to find someone nowadays who appreciated a good pedicure. Just as they were about to enter the store, Kisame came into view, dragging a screaming Alex behind him. Charlie and Itachi stared.

"Kisame, what are you doing?" Kisame blinked and looked up.

"Nothing, just getting dinner." Charlie stared at him like she had never seen him before.

"You're blue! Are you Captain Planet?" Kisame blinked.

"Uh sure." Just than Alex spoke up.

"Charlie you idiot! This is the guy that was eating sheep on one of our last missions. "

"I have no memory of this."

"He tried to eat me, and now he wants to again!"

"Alex Captain Planet would never eat anyone. Are you sure he's not just going to teach you about pollution?" Kisame nodded his head and agreed with Charlie. He started to drag Alex away before she grabbed Itachi's cloak, and started screaming again.

"He's gonna eat me!" Charlie got mad at Alex when she saw her manhandling Sasuke.

"You bitch get your own ninja friends!" Charlie grabbed Itachi's hand and started pulling him towards her. Alex held on, Kisame still pulling on her.

"Let go! We need to go buy the seasoning!" Alex somehow got her arms around Itachi's waist and wouldn't let go, while Charlie was still trying to pull him away from her. Just as Itachi was about to end this mess, Anko and Sai walked around the corner. They stared open-mouthed.

"What the----wait! Good job girls, don't let them get away! Sai don't just stand there, help them!" Sai hesitantly stepped forward, but it was too late. Itachi had decided enough was enough and escaped, forcing Kisame along with him.

"I'll be back for you Lampchop!" Alex shook her fist at him.

"Bye Sasuke! See you at home! Don't chip your nail polish! Good bye Captain Planet!" Charlie stared off into the horizon with stars in her eyes while Alex glared viciously at all of them. Anko rounded on Sai.

"Why weren't you with them before? You could have helped capture them! That's the biggest bounty in the Bingo Book walking away from us! You should try and be more like Alex and Charlie, those two have what it takes to become amazing ninjas. Here they were trying to capture Kisame and Itachi, and what were you doing drawing pictures, and stealing Lady Tsunade's gambling money!"

"That was gambling money?"

"Of course, why else would Lady Tsunade need to pay someone off? She's known as a notorious gambler, but I guess you two wouldn't know that. Now come on, we need to go back to the hotel, it's getting late. We'll leave for the village early tomorrow, so get some sleep. And don't think this will get you out of training tomorrow either." They all groaned and followed Anko back to the hotel to their rooms. Just when Alex and Charlie were about to enter one of the rooms, Anko stopped them.

"Wait, Alex since you showed how responsible you were today you sleep with Sai in his room, and make sure he doesn't do anything wrong. Charlie we're staying in this room, come on everyone get some sleep we'll be up early in the morning." Charlie and Anko disappeared into their room, leaving Alex and Sai glaring at each other. This would be a long night. They narrowed their eyes at each other and walked stiffly through the door, each going to sit on one of the beds, before turning back and glaring at each other.

"Wait I forgot!" Suddenly Charlie ran into the room and tucked Sai in bed. Both Alex and Sai blinked. "This is a very important part of someone's childhood, bedtime! Now see I tucked you in, now I would usually read you a bedtime story to help you fall asleep, but I can hear Anko-sensei yelling at me so we'll have to do that some other time. Good night!" With that she ran out of the room. Sai and Alex stayed silent for a minute, before Sai turned to her and opened his mouth.

"I am NOT reading you a bedtime story."
