MEANWHILE!!
"Throw me again!" Kajitsu said as she hugged Chouji's leg and jumped up and down. Chouji had been engaged in throwing Hana, Hichou and Kajitsu into the water one right after another the entire time he had been there. And even though Chouji is a very large man with quite a bit of strength, he still gets tired and his arms start aching when he must continuously throw small children.
"I think I need a bit of a break." Said Chouji as he sat down in the water.
"Aww…" said the three youngest children. But unfortunately for Chouji, there would be no such break. Oh no. No break for Chouji. The three of them began climbing on top of him and swinging his massive arms around and jumping off of him.
Senjou didn't exactly want to engage in that. So he was currently in the cabana with Neji, Shikamaru, Shikataro and Shino. Shikamaru and Shikataro were both sleeping, Shino was busy doing Shino stuff and Neji was reading. So Senjou wasn't exactly entertained at that point.
He leaned over a little bit in attempt to catch a glimpse of what Neji was reading. Neji saw him doing this so he scooted away from Senjou and moved the book at such an angle so that Senjou couldn't see. "You wouldn't understand it." Neji said as if he was a big hero for saving Senjou from being confused by Hyuuga concepts.
"Oh." Said Senjou, feeling a little embarrassed for only reasons that HE had. Shino was sitting across from him and APPEARED to be staring at him but one can never tell with Shino considering the only part of his face that you can see is his nose. This caused Senjou to shift uncomfortably in his chair for a few moments.
Finally, Senjou decided that he had had enough. So he got up and went back over to the woman who was at the front desk. "Excuse me." He said. "Can I just go on the slides? I'll be really careful."
"You're too small to touch the bottom of our pools." Said the woman. "We don't want you to drown."
"I know how to swim!" said Senjou. "I'm ten years old!"
"I'm sure you can swim, sweetheart, but if you hit your head and were knocked unconscious then you might drown in the pool." Said the woman.
"But my younger brothers could go down the slides!" Senjou argued.
"Well, you just need to eat some more vegetables and come back next year and I'm sure you'll be tall enough then." Said the woman.
"Next year?" whined Senjou.
"Of course, if you don't want to wait that long, you can always someone who is five feet or taller to go down the slides on a double tube with you." Said the woman.
"I can do that?" said Senjou happily. "On any ride?"
"As long as you're on a double tube." The woman answered.
Senjou didn't wait a moment longer to run off to find his dadoo. He wasn't going to bother with anyone back at the cabana. They were all rather scary.
MEANWHILE!!!
Lil Gai, Shika and Cho came frolicking back over to where Inoshi was standing. They all had little cups of frozenish yellow stuff…but Lil Gai had TWO!! "Hey, where's Lil Lee and everyone else?!" demanded Lil Gai.
"They went on the Black Hole." Said Inoshi, pointing to the slide that had about a 179-degree drop.
"WITHOUT US?!" screamed Shika and Cho.
"Is this for me?" Inoshi asked, reaching for Lil Gai's second frozen yellow thing.
"No!" said Lil Gai. "I got it for Lil Lee."
"Well I want one!" said Inoshi.
"Too bad!" said Shika.
"You two can share one." Said Inoshi.
"No!" said Cho. "We each get our OWN!"
"Hey, when did everyone say they'd get back?" said Lil Gai.
"…After they finished going down the slide?" Inoshi suggested.
"How come you didn't go, Inoshi?" asked Shika in a taunting manner. "Too scared?"
"No!" said Inoshi angrily. "I was waiting for you guys so that you wouldn't go off and do something stupid!"
"Sure, sure!" said Cho. "We know you Inoshi, you NEVER go on ANY rides!"
"I LOVE going on rides!" said Lil Gai.
"Me too!" said Inoshi.
"No you don't, Inoshi!" said Shika.
"Shut up!" said Inoshi.
MEANWHILE!!!
"This is the SCARIEST ride in the WHOLE park!" said Kobiru. "I get so scared when I'm going down the slide, but especially when I'm at the top! Are you scared, Lee?"
"No." said Lil Lee. "I've jumped from higher distances."
"Will you comfort me if I get scared?" asked Kobiru.
"Uh…" said Lil Lee.
"Sasuke…" said Tashoku, leaning over to Sasuke Jr. who had taken it upon himself to carry the double tube that he had ASSUMED he would be going down with Lil Lee.
"What?" asked Sasuke Jr.
"Will you go down the Black Hole with me?" she asked. "I mean, just in case I get scared!"
"The ride will be over in about seven seconds." Said Sasuke Jr.
"Oh, it'll be fun!" said Tashoku.
"I don't think Lee wants to go with your little friend." Sasuke Jr. said in a quieter voice.
"What do you mean?" Tashoku asked, looking genuinely confused. "Of course he does! He's been flirting with her all day!"
"Really?" said Sasuke Jr. skeptically.
"Really!" said Tashoku.
"Well…maybe the next one…" Sasuke Jr. said.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Let's go on that one next!" said Kiba, pointing to one of the slides even though he wasn't even going to go on one.
"Kiba, I was thinking that maybe you could go down ONE of the slides…" said Hinata slowly. "Just so I wouldn't have to be by myself…"
Kiba battled internally. He wanted to make Hinata happy, but at the same time didn't want to get wet. "…Maybe later…?" he tried.
"We've been wandering around trying to decide which slide on for long enough!" said Tenten. "Let's either get on a slide or get something to eat or go in the Lazy River. Or anything EXCEPT just wander around like we are now."
"Tenten, you're just exaggerating!" said Lee. "We haven't been wandering around for THAT long!"
Before Sasuke and Naruto could randomly insult each other to start another fight, Senjou suddenly came out of nowhere.
"Dad!" he said. "Mom! The lady behind the counter says that I can't go on a waterslide unless I go down a double tube with someone who's five feet or taller and if I don't then I have to stay in the kiddie pool with Hichou, Kajitsu and Hana and I really really want to go down a slide…and Shika and Cho get to and I don't even though I'm OLDER!"
"Take a breath, Senjou." Said Ino. "Now, what's the problem?"
"Wait, why are you even here?" Sasuke asked.
"We all came the water park and met up with everyone else but I got a purple bracelet instead of a red one so I can't go on any slides unless I go with someone who's taller than five feet!" Senjou answered.
"Well, if you ate your vegetables—" Ino started.
"I know…" Senjou interrupted.
"We can take him with us!" said Lee. "The more the merrier!! Besides, now we have an even number of sliders so no one will have to go alone!!"
MEANWHILE!!!
Chouji was playing with the children when he suddenly realized that there used to be FOUR children.
"One, two, three…" he counted. "That can't be right…one, two, three…"
He looked back at the cabana and then walked over.
"Hey, where's Senjou?" he asked Neji and Shino who were engrossed in their OWN activities.
"Who?" said Neji, looking up.
"Senjou." Said Chouji. "You know, Sasuke's SMART kid. The one that beat Hichou in the tournament."
"Oh." Said Neji. "Uchiha #3."
"I guess." Said Chouji. "Wasn't he in here?"
"…He WAS…" Neji said, looking around.
"Weren't you two watching him?" Chouji said.
"I thought YOU were." Neji said.
"I'M watching the other three!" Chouji pointed out. "And Shikamaru's watching Shikataro! In a perfect world, you two would come out and help me watch the three that I'm taking care of because you two aren't watching ANYONE!"
"I just assumed you were watching them all." Said Neji. "And I was keeping an eye on Hichou. As I am now since you are failing to watch him at the moment."
"I have to go find Senjou now!" said Chouji. "Since YOU'RE obviously not going to! So you can continue watching Hichou and have Shino watch Hana and Kajitsu…or you could just watch them too."
"I'll have Shino watch them." Neji said, returning to his book.
Chouji turned to leave and actually got a few paces away when he decided to turn around and look to see that neither Neji OR Shino were budging.
"Hey!" said Chouji, coming back over. "You're supposed to be watching them!"
"I AM watching them." Said Neji.
"You're not even LOOKING at them!" said Chouji, sounding appalled.
"Apparently you have forgotten about the special abilities that we superior Hyuuga have concerning our range of vision." Said Neji.
"Oh." Said Chouji. "Oh right. What's YOUR excuse, Shino?"
Chouji looked at Shino for a moment but got no response.
"He's sleeping." Said Neji.
"How do you know?" asked Chouji. "Is it another Hyuuga thing?"
"No." said Neji. "He's snoring."
"Oh." Said Chouji again. "Well…I'm going to go now."
And then Chouji left for REAL this time.
