I guess it's double update again ^^ And I bet none of you can guess what's coming up now. I say, time to spice things up. .


I sat down beside Hidan with my plate of baked eggs and secretly glanced at Itachi, who was standing by the doorway. The Uchiha was glaring hatefully at Hidan, who was quite oblivious to his surroundings as he dug into his food.

"You sure you don't want any?" I asked Itachi, my brow raised. I was feeling slightly guilty for overreacting this morning, but there was no way I would have admitted that. To him, of all the people.

"No," he grumbled back and I grinned mockingly.

"Oh, I see," I drawled and he shot a glare at me.

"What's with the tone?"

"Noooothing…" I chuckled to myself. Forget the reconciliation.

I heard Itachi mumble something and turned to him once again.

"I just didn't know the almighty Uchiha was on a diet," I grinned mockingly at him and watched him fume in anger.

"Un, you're on a diet, Itachi?" Deidara asked him while coming into the kitchen and passing by him.

"I am NOT on a diet!" Itachi hissed, his eyes glaring at Deidara now.

I chuckled as I turned to my plate, smiling happily. I was starting to like this already. Deidara sat down in front of me and grinned happily.

"What do you wanna do today, un?" Deidara smiled at me his wide and happy smile as his eyes glinted with enthusiasm.

I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. What are my options?"

Suddenly, Itachi's hand banged on the table just beside me and he hissed angrily, "You are going to train and you have NO other options."

I glanced up at him, but somehow Itachi's angry face only made me laugh and I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"Someone's in a baaaaad mood today!" I sang out and grinned as Itachi gritted his teeth.

"YOU-" He started but was cut off by Hidan who suddenly jumped up.

"Don't you $#%%^ dare %$^&%$& bully my Lizzy!"

For a moment Itachi stared at Hidan as his eyes narrowed in irritation. "YOUR Lizzy?"

"You have no #$*(##$#$ idea how to #$#$ treat a lady!"

"Oh, and you do?!" Itachi hissed, and I could swear I could see fumes rising.

"Wow, never seen Itachi this angry," Deidara whispered. "Un."

I shrugged. "They look like you two kids fighting for a candy."

"Haha," Deidara laughed. "And you're one hell of a candy, un!"

"U-huh," I rolled my eyes. "Well, the candy doesn't wanna get torn apart."

I quickly stuffed my breakfast into my mouth, ignoring the two bickering guys in the background. Well, more like one cursing and one hissing guy. I was almost done, when I felt something buzz in my pocket and I heard a familiar melody growing louder and louder.

~~~ Oh, I'm a gummy bear; Yes, I'm a gummy bear ~~~

I fished my mobile phone out of my pocket and stared at it in slight wonder.

~~~ Oh, I'm a yummy tummy funny lucky gummy bear ~~~

"Wow," I finally whispered. "My mobile services provider is just unbelievable."

~~~ I'm a jelly bear, cause I'm a gummy bear, Oh I'm a moving ~~~

"What is THAT, UN?" Deidara leaned over, staring at the buzzing little black thing normal people call cellular.

~~~ grooving jamming singing gummy bear ~~~

Hidan stopped his yelling as well and both him and Itachi stared at me and my weird contraption. Meanwhile, I stared at the caller ID, which read Shikyo. Shikyo. THE Shikyo. I shuddered, just now remembering I never did show up at her party… cause I got whisked away to the Naruto world!

~~~ gummy gummy gummy gummy Gummybear ~~~

I pressed the answer call button hastily and put the phone next to my ear, my voice a bit shaky as I said, "Hello?"

"ELIZABETHA CORNELIA ANDERSON!" I flinched at my friend's voice. "Explain yourself RIGHT NOW!"

"Ummm…" I muttered, lost as to what to say. I shouldn't have answered the phone. Seriously.

"Do you have ANY idea how worried I've been?!" Shikyo shouted to my ear. "I thought something happened to you, a robber or some pervert or even worse!"

"Pfft, you sound like my mom," I scoffed as I pushed through baffled Itachi and walked out, heading to the main hall, aside from all the curious eyes and ears.

"Well, I've been trying to reach you for HOURS!!! They said you're out of range!"

"Duh," I said, chuckling to myself, thinking that the fictional world of anime surely wasn't on a list of the countries one could call to.

"Don't you 'duh' ME, girl!" Shikyo screamed angrily into my ear and I flinched again.

"Stop screaming, Shikyo!"

"Then bring you damn ass over here and NOW!"

"Umm…" I knitted my brows in thought. "And where exactly is your 'here'?"

"MY HOUSE, you silly! Have you forgotten my birthday party?!"

"Wha… It's still not over?!" I shouted surprised.

"Over? Are you nuts? We've just started!" Shikyo answered surprised.

"Huh?" I shook my head in confusion. "But it's already been a few days…"

"What few days? It's been only a few hours," Shikyo fell silent for a moment and when screamed into my ear again. "OH MY GOD!!! Are you HIGH?!"

"Wha-" I stammered at her conclusion. "Hell, no!"

"You've been doing drugs! Is that it?! Don't you lie to me, Elizabetha Cornelia Anderson!"

"I'm not!" I yelled out. "Look, it's just that some really incredible things have happened here and that's all. And I'm… well, I'm… kind of in this Naruto world right now…"

"OMG, you ARE high!" She screamed in my ear and I flinched yet again. Ok, perhaps telling the truth was a mistake. A big one.

"Ok, ok. Just don't worry. Breathe…" I could hear her taking some slow deep breaths.

Why don't people ever believe me when I tell the truth?

"Alright. First, I come over and call help. You, you just calm down, just stay where you are-"

"Not like I can go anywhere…" I muttered. "Itachi will seriously cut my head off, haha."

"Oh man, is it THAT bad? Geez, girl, you're in some DEEP shit when I come over!" Shikyo scolded me again and I shrugged. Not like she's gonna find me there. Is she?

"Now if you really DID come over here, that would be like…" I thought for a second. "A really weird miracle."

"Oh, so now you're seeing miracles!" Shikyo sighed on the other side of the phone. "Gosh, what did you take?"

"Um, let me think… Some lightning bolt from the TV, perhaps?" I scoffed.

"TV? Oh, damn, the TV!" Shikyo cursed. "If lightning strikes at it, I'm a gonner!"

I heard some rustling sounds and sighed. Great, now she just has to go turn off the TV. Wait… Is the storm still not over?

"Pft, guess what? They're showing Naruto on the TV!" I heard my friend laugh and an ominous feeling suddenly crossed me.

"Shikyo, WAIT!"

Yet, it was already too late, as far in the other world my best friend already gripped the plug and I only heard the rumbling sounds of thunder and then the beeping signal of my disconnected phone...
