Well, I'm proud to say that I actually have chapter 4 of Team Seven Goes to Disneyland completed! And, surprisingly, it didn't take nearlyas long as I was expecting. I guess I was just having so much fun writing it that it seemed to more or less write itself.

Oh, and before we get to the story, I just wanted to thank everyone for all the ideas they have given me. I haven't used most of them yet, but I do have them written down so I can refer to them when writing future chapters. Also, just want to thank everyone for all the reviews! It is your reviews that makes me want to continue writing this tory, as well as others.

Okay, enough with the rambling, on to the story!

Team Seven Goes to Disneyland

Chapter 4: Star Tours

"Well, what do we do now?" Kakashi asked after they had been standing outside of Redd Rockett's Pizza Port for about five minutes.

"I say we check out the rest of Tomorrowland," replied Gai.

"Oh yeah, that narrows it down," Asuma said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice that Gai apparently didn't notice.

"How about we just wander around and go on the first ride we see?" Kurenai suggested.

"Sounds like a plan," Kakashi agreed. With that, the four teams started walking around Tomorrowland, looking for a ride that everyone would like.

Meanwhile, Itachi had once again escaped the security guards and was now walking into Redd Rockett's Pizza Port to make another attempt at grabbing Naruto. "Welcome to Redd Rockett's Pizza Port," a very cheerful waitress greeted.

"Uh, yeah. Thanks," Itachi said as he looked around the restaurant for Naruto or any of his companions.

"You looking for someone?" the waitress asked, still with the same amount of enthusiasm she had when he had first walked through the door.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I am," Itachi replied, still looking around the restaurant. "Have you by chance seen a blonde-haired boy with bright blue eyes come in here with a large group of people?"

"Um…" the waitress paused to think. So many people had come by for lunch that it was a little hard to remember each and every one of them. "Oh! Yes, I do remember seeing someone of that description. They just left a few minutes ago."

"Do you know where they went?" Itachi asked, turning to look at the over-enthusiastic waitress.

"Yup! They went that way," she replied, pointing off into the distance. And with that, Itachi took off at a run to catch up to Naruto.

"That looks like fun!" Lee said as he took off at a run to something called Star Tours.

"Ooh! Wait for me!" Naruto yelled as he ran after Lee.

"I'll get there before all of you!" Kiba hollered as he also took off at a run.

"Boys," Sakura sighed as she watched the three of them race off. "Always so competitive."

"Look who's talking," Sasuke spoke up from behind Sakura.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sakura asked.

"Just that girls can be just as competitive as boys," Shikamaru said, joining in on the conversation.

"And how's that?" Ino asked. She was interested in seeing where this conversation was heading.

"Haven't you noticed how you girls act when it comes to competing over guys?" Neji asked, also interested in where this conversation was going.

"I wouldn't call it competing," Sakura replied.

"Yeah? Then what would you call it?" Neji asked, rather interested in what the answer would be.

"Um…" Sakura turned to look at Ino for help, but Ino just shrugged back, unable to come up with a suitable answer.

"See? That's what we mean," Shikamaru said with a grin on his face. The other boys were grinning as well. What a joy it was to prove girls wrong!

"Fine," Ino replied, looking irked. "So we have a competitive side, too. What's your point?" It was the best comeback she could think of at the moment.

"Nothing," Sasuke answered. The girls raised their eyebrows at him. "Only that you should stop being so hypocritical," he finished up. He was looking quite smug.

Ino and Sakura were just about to argue back at this when there was a rather loud holler a short distance away. "Hey guys! What's taking so long?" They all looked and saw Kiba, Naruto, and Lee already waiting for them by the Star Tours ride.

The rest of the group finally caught up to the three boys and they were all about to get in line when they noticed a sign that said "Approximate wait time: 1:30".

"What the –" Naruto's jaw dropped as he stared at the sign.

"Wha–?" Kiba whined.

"They can't be serious!" Lee moaned.

"A whole hour and a half?" groaned Gai.

"I would never wait that long for anything, except maybe Barbeque," Chouji whined.

"Yeah. It's far too troublesome to stand in a line that long," Shikamaru sighed.

"The only reason I'd wait that long to go on a ride is if it had lots of cool bugs on it," Shino said.

"I suppose we could always come back later and go on it when the line is shorter," suggested Kakashi.

"And who's to say that it'll be shorter when we come back?" Asuma asked.

"He's got a point," Kurenai told Kakashi.

"There's no way I'm waiting in line that long just to go on a ride," Sasuke said. He crossed his arms and leaned back on a nearby wall.

"Uh, guys?" Sakura's voice came from behind them. Everyone turned around to find her standing next to some weird machines, above which was a sign that read "FAST PASS". "I think this might solve our long wait problem."

"Cool!" cheered Naruto.

"Woot!" Kiba whooped.

"Bark!" Akamaru joined in the cheering.

"Hooray! You're so smart, Sakura!" Lee hollered.

"Way to go, student of Kakashi's!" Gai cheered, giving his good-guy pose.

"Good job, Sakura!" Kakashi praised. "Once again, you're keen eye has saved us all a lot of trouble!"

"It would appear so," said Asuma. "But how does it work?"

"Oh, it's easy enough," Sakura replied. "We each just slide our park tickets through this machine and it gives us a pass to go through a faster line, which is available at the time posted on the sign."

"How'd you know that?" Naruto asked.

"I just happened to read the instructions that are posted right here," Sakura said pointing to a set of instructions that were indeed posted right on the machine.

"Well, let's not waste time," Kurenai stated, pointing up at the FAST PASS sign. "The next fast pass line is open in just a couple of minutes."

And with that, they all slid their tickets through the machines and they gathered next to where the fast pass line would open up.

'Oh, come on,' Itachi thought. 'He couldn't have gone that far.' He had been wondering around Tomorrowland for about ten minutes now, and there was still no sign of Naruto.

He was just about ready to give up and go look elsewhere when he heard someone let out a cheer. "Yay! Star Tours, here we come!" He looked in the direction the cheer came from and – low and behold! – there was Naruto getting ready to go on yet another ride.

'Bingo!' Itachi thought triumphantly as he made his way over to the ride.

He was almost directly behind the leaf ninjas when someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but do you have a fast pass?" Itachi turned around to glare at the guy who tapped him on the shoulder. 'How dare he soil my Akatsuki cloak with his filthy hands!'

The man didn't seem to notice the intense glare. He just pointed in the direction of some machines. "All you have to do is go over there, put your ticket in on of those machines and you'll get a fast pass which you can use now if you would like to get on this ride without having to wait in a long line."

Having little patience left at this point, Itachi walked over to one of the machines, put his ticket in it, and sure enough, out popped a fast pass for Star Tours. He grabbed it and his ticket and walked back to the line Naruto had walked in. "Enjoy the ride!" the man said quite pleasantly as he allowed Itachi to pass through and make his way to the ride.

"This is going to be the best ride ever!" Naruto cheered as they made their way through the fast pass line up to the actual ride.

"Well, it certainly can't be worse than Small World," Sasuke muttered, more to himself than to anyone else.

"What are you talking about, Sasuke?" Lee asked, having overheard the so-called cool guy. "Small World was great!"

"Sure, if you like annoying music that repeats constantly," Neji stated.

"You guys don't know how to have fun, is all," Kiba said quite cheerfully.

"Yeah, that's it," Shino replied sarcastically.

"Look! We're already at the front of the line!" Gai said pointing straight ahead, though a little more dramatically than was necessary.

"Yay!" everyone cheered – everyone, that is, except Sasuke, Neji, Shino, and Shikamaru. Sasuke, Neji, and Shino were continuing to play it cool, and Shikamaru was just too lazy to cheer.

"And how many people do you have in your group riding Star Tours today?" a man working the ride asked as they walked up to the front.

"Sixteen," Kakashi replied.

"Alright, go ahead and fill the first four rows then, if you please," the man said, pointing towards the rows they needed to line up in before getting on the ride. "Four people to a row."

"Oh! I want front!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran into the first row.

"Me too!" Lee followed right behind Naruto.

"Wait for us!" Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru followed right behind Lee.

"Hey, Chouji, why don't you join us?" Naruto asked.

"Okay!" Chouji replied as he finished off the first row.

"I call second row!" Ino dashed over to the row behind Naruto.

"Wait up!" Sakura called as she followed Ino.

"This'll be lots of fun!" Ten-ten said ash she got in line next to Sakura.

"Um, can I join you?" Hinata asked, barely louder than a whisper.

"Of course, Hinata!" Sakura said, waving her over to join them. "We girls have to stick together!"

"Well then," Asuma said, looking around at Neji, Sasuke, Shino, and Shikamaru. "How about you guys take the third row and Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, and I will take up the fourth?"

"I guess," Shino replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"If we have to," Neji mumbled as he followed Shino.

"Not like we really have much choice anyways," Sasuke said as he walked into line behind Neji.

"Too troublesome to argue otherwise," Shikamaru stated as he filled in the third row, hands in his pockets.

"Well, that was simple enough," Kakashi said as he took the first spot in the fourth row.

"Of course it was!" Gai said giving his good-guy pose before stepping in line next to Kakashi.

"Yup," Asuma replied taking the third spot in the fourth row.

"Took long enough, though," Kurenai said as she right behind Asuma. "Just take a look at all the impatient people who've been waiting in line behind us." And she was right; the people who were in line behind them were starting to look a little grumpy.

"Next four people, if you would be so kind as to fill the fifth and final row please?" the man working the ride said. And with that, the next four people in line stepped into place in the fifth row, Itachi being the fourth person.

'At last,' Itachi thought to himself, 'I've once again caught up to Naruto. Now to just wait for this ride to end and then follow closely behind until Naruto's far enough away from the rest, then I can grab him!'

Finally, the doors in front of the five rows of waiting people opened up and they were able to file into their seats.

"This is gonna be so cool!" Naruto whispered as they sat down.

THWACK! Sakura gave Naruto a rather heavy hit to the back of his head. "Will you shut up, already? You've been going on about how 'cool' this ride is going to be before we even got in line." Naruto just turned around and stuck his tongue out at her.

Just then, the doors they had entered through closed, the lights dimmed, and the ride began. They started out on what they thought was going to be a simple trip to the Endor Moon, but instead they got sucked into a space battle and found themselves taking part in a mission to destroy a gigantic space station called the Death Star. Then, as suddenly as it all began, the ride came to a stop as they finally made it to Endor.

"That ride was awesome!" Naruto cheered as everyone started standing up and making their way outside the doors opposite the ones they entered.

"No kidding!" Kiba exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like that before!"

"Bark!" Akamaru agreed.

"An excellent ride to keep you in the springtime of your youth!" Gai said as he gave his usual good-guy pose.

"I don't know," Asuma moaned, clutching his stomach. "I'm not feeling so good."

"Well, I have to say, I think that was definitely the best ride we've been on so far," Sasuke said. "Of course, that's not exactly saying much when you consider the other rides we've been on."

"Yeah. Anything's better than constantly repetitive music and lame snow beasts," said Neji.

"It was…okay," Sakura said, "if you like watching stuff blow up, that is."

"That's the best part!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Of course you'd think so," Ino said this time. "After all, it's about the only thing matches you in noise level."

"Ain't that truth," Shikamaru and Chouji mumbled in unison.

Naruto ignored them. "What'd you think of it, Hinata?"

"I…uh…didn't like it," Hinata replied, barely louder than a whisper. "It was too fast and scary."

"Don't worry," Kurenai said, giving Hinata a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder. "It wasn't my kind of ride either."

"It needed more bugs," was all Shino had to say.

"Eww!" Ten-ten exclaimed. "Bugs are the last things that ride needed. Talking robots and bizarre looking aliens was enough for me."

"Hey, Kakashi, you liked it, right?" Naruto asked.

"Hmm?" Kakashi said, looking up from his book once again. "Sorry, were you talking to me?"

"Never mind," Naruto sighed as they all found themselves back outside. "So, now what do we do?"

"Um, excuse me sir," said a woman who also worked at the Star Tours ride. She was bending over a rather green looking Itachi. "Excuse me sir, but you need to leave so that we can allow the next set of riders to get on the ride."

"Ugh," Itachi moaned as he finally stood up out of his seat. He had one of the worst

stomachaches he had ever had before. Something about the way that ride moved didn't exactly agree with Itachi and his stomach.

"Ugh," he groaned again as he slowly made his way off the ride, clutching his stomach the whole way. 'I need to lie down for awhile,' he thought as he practically dragged himself outside. 'Naruto will just have to wait until I feel better.'
