Hi! I can't believe I got good reviews for this! I really want to thank you guys/gals for them; angelmidori, Roy-san, and narakunohime! Now, this chapter takes place entirely in episode 20. Not sure what manga chapters, but you should know if you know your Naruto stuff. This chapter is also mostly a general/humor chapter, humor later on in it. This is the last chapter before it catches up to the summary, which was hastily put together BTW. I hope I made this funny, but nothing will make it as funny as the actual episode… nothing. Anyway, I hope you like it, remember, I'm not that good, so If this is bad, don't blame me… thanks!

YAAAAAWWWN!

Yup, that's how he always started his days. Alex slowly sat up in bed, feeling strangely refreshed from his sleep, rather than tired.

"Hmmm… what time is it… 9:00. Well, better eat so I can meet Naruto and company. Ugh, I better not be late, he gets all mad at Kakashi-sensei for that as it is, and Sakura too…"

He got out of bed and quickly got dressed, and ate a bowl of cereal before finishing up with getting ready and heading out the door. It was a bright and beautiful day outside as Alex walked around Konoha to the previously-designated meeting area.

Naruto and team 7 got back from mission the other day, and from what he had heard, it was a hard one. From the rumors of it, they had to take on a Jounin and a Hunter-nin, and Kakashi didn't do all the work either. Alex was very impressed with team 7's skills so far. He knew about the Kyuubi and Naruto, but he was still impressed that Naruto could actually use it's chakra… maybe it was a fluke, but he still did it, and that proved something.

Alex walked around a wooden fence that had tree's lining the inside to find Sasuke walking right by him.

"Hey Sasuke! How's your…day…" He trailed as Sasuke completely ignored him as he walked up to the others.

"Hmph, that guy's so freakin weird… Hey Sakura, what's wrong, are you alright?" He asked gently as she continued crying with a very angry look on her face from who knows what. Needless to say, she completely ignored him too. Alex sighed as he shook his head from the 'originality' of the situation.

"Naruto, what's going on? What's with everyone today? I know they're usually kinda like this but, did you guys have some really hard job today or somethin?"

"No… I kinda forgot you were going to be here…" 'DANGIT! I wanted to see if Sakura wanted to go on a walk or something…' Naruto replied.

"Well, I know how you guys get when someone's late *cough cough*, so I made sure I was here on time." 'I don't want to see Sakura's wrath again, scary!'

As soon as the words left his mouth, something hit his leg. He looked behind him to see a box about knee-high backing away, then moving up behind Naruto silently, who had turned around to look at Sakura move to the wooden fence to mope some more.

"Slower, slower Moegi! Leader will hear us! Well don't crawl on my hands then! Ow, my face!" Came assorted voices within the… box…

'Is that supposed to be a rock?' *eye twitch* "O…K…" Was Alex's reaction to the obviously fake rock.

The box finally reached Naruto as he turned and cast a glaring look at the rock on the ground *eye twitch*.

'They can't be serious…' He thought as he casually walked a little ways up the alley, letting the rock follow him. He quickly did a 180 as the box continued to chase him. Finally, after several laps with them both gaining speed, he put on brakes and turned as the square rock also stopped.

"AH HA! A square rock with two holes does not exist!" Naruto said loudly, pointing at the 'rock'.

"It's so obvious!"

He waited for a second as if something was going to happen…

"I should have expected that from the man whom I have high hopes for and is also my rival!" The rock said.

Suddenly, the box glowed a bright gold light, and then exploded into columns of blue, yellow and pink smoke.

*Cough, cough, cough! *

3 little kids were on their hands a knees coughing as the smoke cleared.

"Hey, you used to much gunpowder!" They then proceeded to introduce themselves as the Konohamaru Corps. (Yeah, I'm to lazy to do all that intro stuff… so troublesome…)

The kids asked Naruto if he could play ninja, but he replied that he was going to train. They got mad and said he promised them.

'I bet a million bucks he forgot.' Alex thought as he looked on in interest. Just then Sakura decided to make her reappearance as… A ZOMBIE!

Well, that's what she looked like as she walked up to the group, pointing out how pointless it was to 'play' ninja, in her own zombie-ish kinda way at the moment.

She held a blank look on her face as she stared down Naruto… if she really was staring at him…

"What is it?" Naruto said, blushing with his hand on the back of his head as he let out a series of stupid little laughs.

Alex would have paid attention, but he felt something a little off in the air. He looked around, but didn't see anything.

'Something's odd, I think I feel someone's chakra, or something…' He thought as he looked around some more.

Next thing he knew, Naruto was being belted into the wood fence by Sakura, who apparently wanted to take out her frustrations on someone…

The kids went to check on Naruto as Sakura gave off some scary feeling green chakra as it emanated from her body.

'YIKES!' Alex thought as he backed away from the evil looking Kunoichi.

"You ugly girl! Ugly!" Konohamaru screamed as Naruto struggled to get up.

Her hair flared as she then proceeded to bash the terrified Konohamaru in the head.

Alex watched as she started to walk away and he himself walked over to the group…

"That ugly-wide-forehead girl… is she really a girl?"

'Konohamaru you freakin idiot…'

Sakura stopped.

And turned.

Only 'The Exorcist' could elicit the kind of fear they got from looking at the girl…



"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

She ran… they ran… and screamed.

Konohamaru pulled ahead of the doomed group but found himself on the ground once again as he ran into a solid object.

They all stopped as they eyed their new visitors.

"That hurt." A boy, standing about a foot taller than Naruto said. He was dressed in a full black body suit with a hood on, that had little triangle ears pointing up a bit, like a bears' ears (it looked like sweatpants and a sweatshirt kinda material to me). It also had a circle in the middle of his shirt that had the left half yellow, and the right half red. But that wasn't the most interesting of his features. His face had an intricate purple design painted on it, the kind a porcelain doll might have. There was a strange thing on his back as well, wrapped up in bandages like a backpack. It looked like a small human, with its head of dark brown hair and all. I didn't question that.

Then there was the 2nd of the two…

~~*@*~~

Well, did ya like it? Yeah, I'll get into the rest of that next time. I wanted to cut it off here cause I would have gone on a good bit longer if I had continued. I just don't have time at the moment. But I will get the next chapter out in (I hope) less than a week. To tell you the truth, I just write up the chapters in about 2 or less hours. I nearly forget about the story until I sit down to write the next chapter. I guess it helps, cause I don't fill my head with to many idea's that will clog my head up. I wouldn't be able to stay with one idea that way. But oh well…

I hoped you liked it, so please review!

Next Chapter (Tentatively): Alex finally meets the main female of this story. They seemed to hit it off rather well in their first meeting, so we see what happens in between then, and the start of the exams…
