Omake
We wrote this a while ago WAY before the Naruto Primer. It was just a short, stupid little thing that we wrote because we always thought that Chouji was really obsessed with Shikamaru and we wrote him kind of out of character. It doesn't even count as a chapter but we felt as though it would be fun to submit it anyway. So it will be referred to as the Naruto Primer OMAKE!! HURRAY!! (Oh and one more thing before we start. The puppies are fine in the pound. They were all bought within a half an hour. Sorry to concern you all.)
One day, Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji were all in the Lazy River at the local water park.
"Oh Shikamaru!" laughed Chouji suddenly. "The Lazy River seems SO much lazier with you in it!"
"Um…okay Chouji." Said Shikamaru, not really knowing how to respond to that burst of randomness.
"I'm so happy they let me ride on this double tube by myself!" said Chouji as he adjusted himself on the tube.
"Chouji, the point of the Lazy River is to relax, think and maybe even sleep." Said Shikamaru. "I can't very well reflect if you keep talking."
"I'm trying to spark a conversation, Shikamaru."
"I know that, Chouji." Said Shikamaru. "And I respect that. But you could just… I don't know… stop?"
"Sure thing Shikamaru!" said Chouji. Then he turned to Ino. "So Ino, isn't Shikamaru lazy?"
"Um…" said Ino. "Sure, Chouji."
"Oh, I see." asked Chouji with a sigh as he turned back to Shikamaru. "Are you sure you don't want to just talk the afternoon away?"
"I'm positive." Said Shikamaru.
There was a pause.
"So it's quite the lovely day today." Started Chouji. "And the Lazy River is SO lazy! I bet that's why they call it the Lazy River! Because all you do is sit in it and be lazy! Isn't that right, Shikamaru?"
"You're doing it again, Chouji." Said Shikamaru.
"Sorry Shikamaru." Said Chouji, truly apologetic. "But you have to admit that this river is just the laziest thing in the world! Well…besides maybe YOU Shikamaru!"
Then he chuckled at his own funny.
"You're right Chouji." Said Shikamaru with another sigh. "It's just so crazy."
"HAW HAW HAW!!" laughed Chouji because he just couldn't hold it in any longer. He was just feeling so incredibly jolly.
(And that's the end.)
