Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or am affilated with it in any way, shape, or form.

Hey everybody. Did you miss me? Umm... Sorry about the not updating for a more than month. hehehe For those of who care here's where I was. I had finals then, it was Christmas, then two friends that I hadn't seen for awhile came to town (one I hadn't seen for three years the other was only 5 months) so I hung out with them all Christmas break and then I get back to University and the second day I get two MAJOR assignments and one is in assembly language (I take computer classes and for people who don't know whatassembly lanuage is its as close as you can get toprogramming in1's and 0's), and tonnes of homework linear algerbra (its as boring/hard as it sounds). So that's my excuse. Please don't hurt me. I promise it won't happen again. Enjoy the long awaited chapter.

Warning!!!!!!!: For those people who don't know what Wheel of Fortune is you can go to www.wheelof fortune .com and for the foxtrot you can do a google search. Anyways still enjoy.

For Naruto the next class had been rather uneventful compared to the last two hours he that had been awake. This at least gave Naruto a little time to relax, much to Iruka-sensei's dismay. A never-ending cycle began: Naruto would dose off, Iruka would yell, Naruto would ignore, Iruka would snort, and repeat. Naruto sleeping in class wasn't really anything new, but this time he actually had an excuse, kind of. One rude awakening by Anko could really tire a man out and Naruto had two. As the time winded down in what was left in the class Naruto stared at the clock hoping somehow that would make it go faster. It didn't. This was the only other thing Naruto did in a classroom other than sleep. Maybe once in a while he'd fail a test, but that was pretty much it.

Tick, tick, tick and done. Nobody ever could imagine the joy that always gave Naruto. As usual Naruto exited the classroom with such speed you'd swear he had disappeared. Naruto sped down the halls towards the Gymnasium and then he remembered something. He didn't have to change today and he couldn't remember why. Naruto tried to remember sensei's words, but it was no use. They had been doing whatever it was all week. There was something about a round social. Naruto didn't care figured he'd just find out when he got there.

When Naruto entered the Gym he found out what it was. Naruto's round social was social ballroom dancing. His big clue was Gai-sensei wearing a suit and tie. Gai didn't have to wear a suit and tie for dance class, but he did anyway because he felt that looking the part was as important as doing it.

Gai was a Phys-Ed sensei for the school. He was a tall man with black hair and a bobbed cut. He had large cheek bones and among his other defining features were his eyebrows. By no means were these eyebrows large. They were huge, they super eyebrows. Gai also had zest for life could never be mistaken.

When it was time for class Gai called all the students to the centre of the gym, "Students, gather near me." Once everyone had assembled he began his usually speech on what was on the agenda for today in his own unique way, "Today is social dance and I know that you realize that you will be in close quarters with the opposite sex. Now, in your youth I realize this is may a problem. So you in the springtime of your life I ask that you resist you urges, but still dance like you will see no tomorrow. I, Mitae Gai, will see that no eyes or hands go astray. You can count on me." After Gai-sensei's speech he gave a thumbs up complete with a smile so pure it pinged. The class groaned and class continued.

Naruto as per usual was not paying attention and was replaying some ridiculous fantasy in his head until his train of thought was interrupted by familiar face that slapped him on the back and said, "Oi, Naruto. You Ready?"

"For what, Kiba?" said Naruto a little disoriented just being ripped from his dream world.

"Wheel of Fortune, of course." He said while slapping Naruto on the back, again.

Kiba was in the same class as Naruto. He had wild black hair that seemed to spike up a little naturally. He was loud, brash and overly confident. He always stood tall and gave off an animalistic aura.

"Wheel of Fortune" was based on the game show. The students would reluctantly pair up and each pair of dancing partners would stand beside each other in a circle formation. The students would sporadically change dancing partners on Gai's command and he would tell them how many people they would have to move until they reached their next partner. Like moving two partners to the right or three to the left. Gai telling them to change partners would be like spinning the wheel and the girls would be the prizes. Now when they would change partners the boys would always move and being the immature high school students they were they would judge each girl based on looks, how much they liked hanging out with her, and dancing ability. Each girl would have an assigned value that would differ for each guy because of personal preference. The values would be the dollar values of $100-$500, trip to Tahiti, Jackpot, and of course Bankrupt. After class was done the boys that played the stupid game would see who won.

"I'm going to win today," boasted Kiba, "So just try and beat me."

"Why do you even play that troublesome game?" said a voice from behind Naruto and Kiba.

"Who asked you anyway, Shikamaru?" shouted Naruto.

Shikamaru had black hair in a tight ponytail that spiked out. He was always slouching and his eyes were always half open. He always moved like his body was too heavy for him and did everything very slowly and as little as possible. Not to mention he was the laziest person on the face of the planet.

Had Shikamaru ever played the game with the rest of the guys he would have won everyday. He had some kind of freaky unnatural luck, but to everyone who cared about winning's relief he didn't play. Shikamaru did not play for two reasons: 1) It was a stupid game. Which it was. 2) It'd be too troublesome to count up the points.

"You got problem with that," Kiba glared down Shikamaru.

"Fine, you guys play your stupid game I'm going to sit down," said Shikamaru with a yawn and plopped down on the floor.

"Class will begin as soon as my demonstration partner arrives," said Gai with his usual finesse.

Just then Anko walked in. 'Speak of the devil,' Naruto thought. Some of the boys went, "ohhhh." To this Anko struck a little girly pose. Some of the boys were more enthralled, but Naruto pretended that he was barfing. Anko took note of this as she strode over towards Gai, but making sure she passed Naruto. Somehow as she passed Naruto her heal seemed to have found a new home in Naruto's foot. He yelped and Anko startled by this accidentally smacked Naruto in the face knocking over and sending him sliding a couple feet.

"Ohh sorry, are you okay Naruto dear?" she said with an evil grin.

Naruto growled and got up. He'd find a way to get her back.

"Class today is the Foxtrot. Now listen up. You start by…" Gai drowned on. Nobody liked any part of social dance, but if anybody had to pick the worsted part it'd have to be went they explained it. No one paid attention anyway.

After the overly lengthy explanation/demonstration Gai called out, " Okay now girls in a large circle and boys line up over here." After everyone did as they were told Gai called again, "Now girls, promenade!"

The girls began to promenade and Gai picked a spot and started pairing them. The queue of boys dwindled as they filed to their fate and so Wheel of Fortune began. Naruto closed his eyes, crossed his fingers, and prayed, 'Please be Sakura, Please be Sakura…' When it was his turn he looked up, Ryoko, $500. It wasn't Sakura, but he at least was making headway in Wheel of Fortune.

Naruto fumbled his way through the foxtrot. He kept repeating in his head Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, but much to Ryoko's misfortune it wasn't going so well.

"Will you at least try?" complained Ryoko.

"I…uh…"

"Stop!" commanded Gai.

Ryoko and Naruto quickly separated and both gave a sigh of relief, "Saved by the Weirdo."

"Okay everyone. I feel your passion and I know passion must not be retained. So, in order for this passion to flow freely I will allow to dance without restraints to music," Gai said with usual enthusiasm.

The class, including Anko, shared one thought, 'Why can't he talk like a normal person.'

"But first… Move three stops to your left."

Tick, tick, tick and the dance partner was… Yayoi?! Damn, $100.

"And now two back to your left"

Tick, tick, and it was Hinata, $400.

Hinata had black hair that simmered purple. It was short in the back and got longer as it came towards the front. Her silver eyes always shone when she smiled, but she was so shy that never happened much. Always huddled together in an almost standing fetal position. Hinata hardly spoke especially in front of her Naruto-kun.

As Naruto walked to the secretly delighted Hinata he thought, 'Why is it never Sakura!' He hoped with all his heart at least she was in striking distance this time. She was only five to the right.

"Naruto-kun umm… Thank you for being my part…"

"Oi, Hinata you say something?"

Hinata stiffened up and quickly turned to her side and looked down at her hands that were in a fist and pushing her fore fingers together. She gently replied, "Umm… Nothing"

The dancing began and Naruto did as poorly as he had done with Ryoko. 'Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, ' Naruto kept repeating to himself, but some how it always went: slow slow quick foot, foot slow quick foot, slow foot foot quick, or some variation of that. Hinata didn't mind that much. She loved that he was trying his best. All she knew that she wanted to help and all of a sudden something totally unexpected happened.

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata tried to say between Naruto missed steps. "Uhhh… Would you like some help?"

"Sure"

Hinata's eyes widened. Was it fear? Was it glee? Was it confusion? Was it all of the above? She didn't know what to do or how to do it or even how those words came out of her mouth. If one could turn back time now was the time to do it. Thoughts began racing through Hinata's head. All of a sudden she forgot how to do the foxtrot. Life was going to end. Hinata was brought back to the world of the living by a snapping noise.

"Hinata you okay," Naruto queried, "Hmmm… How do we do this?" Naruto closed his eyes and looked down at his feet. Hinata got a bright idea that didn't involve her actually talking.

"Ummm… Naruto-kun… maybe you could just watch my feet and follow me."

"Wow, Hinata you're pretty smart sometimes," complemented Naruto. In turn Hinata turned a bright shade of red.

The song ended and everyone as per usual let go of their partner immediately. "Move three to your right," Gai called and everyone mindlessly obeyed. Tick, tick, tick, Mine, Jackpot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. 'Oh yeah!!!' Naruto think yelled. It wasn't Sakura, but it was close enough.

Gai being his usual annoying self yelled, "Okay now move two more to your right."

'NOOO!!!!' he thought in shock. Naruto, 'My Mine-chan!' Naruto began his depressing walk away from Mine. That is until Naruto looked up to see his new partner. "Sakura-chan," Naruto was in so much shock he actually said that aloud. Naruto stood still with his mouth gapping opened. While Naruto was idolizing Sakura in a white toga and a Loral wreath on a puffy white cloud complete with little angel playing harps the class was watching. Sakura was extremely embarrassed. She had to get all of these piercing eyes off her. So, she stomped over to Naruto who was still in too much of a dream like state to notice. Sakura came up beside Naruto and smashed him over the head.

"Come on, you idiot," scolded Sakura while she was dragging him in a headlock back to her spot. "Please pay no attention to him. He's a serve idiot," Sakura said as a failed attempt to get these eyes to look away.

"Now if the married couple is finished. We'll introduce turning," Anko declared. As Gai droned on some more about the stupid foxtrot Naruto reached in to his pocket and pulled out some gum. Sakura noticed this and now she wanted some gum. She was still mad at Naruto, but for some reason now had a major craving for gum. Sakura weighed out her options and decided she could forgive Naruto if he gave her some gum. "Hey Naruto what kind of gum is that?"

"Spearmint," Naruto answered.

That was her favourite. Now not asking him was out of the question. "Umm…Naruto may I have some?" Sakura queried.

Naruto immediately perked up. "For sure," he exclaimed. Naruto began to dig through his pant's pocket. His search was now proving useless. He knew it was in there somewhere, but all he kept finding was keys, change, his wallet, class newsletter…. He must have put it in his other pocket. That proved just as futile the first pocket. There was only ammo, cap gun, a grape sucker, after dinner mints, and discarded gum wrappers. Naruto knew he had at least one piece left. He just didn't know where it was. Naruto began furiously searching through his pockets not noticing how loud the jingling noise was, but all was brought an abrupt end. Naruto had a weird feeling and decided to investigate. He raised his head to find every eye in the entire class on him, again.

"Are you done?" demanded Anko.

"Yes," Naruto said while ripping his hands from his pockets.

"Good," she said and her and Gai went back to explaining the intricacies of turning while doing the foxtrot. After Naruto was sure nobody was looking. He jammed his hand in his pocket and for some unbeknownst reason he found it right away. Upon rescuing the gum from his pocket he offered it to Sakura.

"Here you go Sakura-chan," said Naruto.

"Thank you," Sakura said gratefully, "You didn't have to after all that."

"I know, but Sakura-chan asked me," said Naruto.

Sakura smiled a real genuine smile. That was the second time today Naruto made Sakura smile like that. Naruto didn't notice, but it was okay, Sakura did.
