Most all these characters come from the TV show Naruto, but I must say they really have the characteristics of my friends because this story is really about them

Sakura, Sasuke, Bethy, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Peachie, Trowa and Angiru sat in the airport waiting for the blizzard to clear. It was Christmas and for their last one together at high school they planned to take a trip to Kansas. (It was all Bethy!) (.). It turns out an unexpected blizzard has trapped them all in the airport, waiting, waiting, and well waiting. This is where we find our strange young friends.

Chapter One

"Sasuke! Why don't we just go to England? It would be so much fun! I want to get out of this stupid, stupid, STUPID airport!" Sakura was yelling.

Sasuke seemed to be ignoring her. She had been going on like this for the 4 hours they had been sitting on the floor in front of terminal A27 Wing2. Angiru was still out shopping with Bethy and Trowa. Peachie, Shikamaru, and Kakashi were all playing 'I Spy" at Peachie's delight.

"I spy something white and fluffy!" Peachie exclaimed overjoyed.

"For the last time, it's SNOW! We don't need to be reminded of it anymore!" Kakashi was exasperatedly yelling.

"Hey don't you yell at her!" Shikamaru said defensivly. Peachie hugged onto Shikamaru's arm. Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Whose turn is it now?" Bethy asked as she, Trowa, and Angiru walked over and sat down.

"It's Kakashi's!" Peachie said, still very perky. "But he doesn't seem to happy right now."

Kakashi grumbled something.

"Well then we can show you what we bought!" Angiru pulled out shopping bags.

"This is for you." She handed Kakashi a bottle of Sake. He smiled, and walked off to sit in the corner. (.) "And for Peachie," She handed her an "I Spy" book. "Shikamaru," and she handed him a stuffed kitty doll.

"What is this!" He exclaimed.

Bethy, Angiru, and Peachie were overcome with giggles. "What?" he asked again.

"Um it's a gift from Cat Nappers!" Bethy cheered.

"Oh and you're so nice not to get me one!" Peachie whined.

"Well seeing as you are the President of Cat Nappers we didn't think you wanted one." Bethy said defensively.

"Oh well." Peachie said happily once again.

Sasuke had fallen asleep and Sakura had run off shopping with Angiru and Bethy. Kakashi was still in the corner with his sake. Trowa was on his lap top. Peachie and Shikamaru were playing "I Spy" with the book she had got. Snowflake by snowflake the window was being covered with this white fluff.

11:00pm Chicago Airport

Everyone was asleep except Peachie and Kakashi. They sat by the window. Now it looked nothing like a window. More like a very white wall.

"Doesn't seem like we'll ever get out of here, does it?" Kakashi asked.

"Hmm, this is so much fun though! I'm sleeping in an Airport! I haven't done this since...well actually I don't ever remember sleeping in an airport." Peachie said not as perky but still happy.

"How can you just look on the bright side of everything?" Kakashi asked amazed at her personality skills.

"Well to me everything sound fun! I mean to you 300 index cards, a glue stick, and scissors sounds like a school project. To me it sounds like a great tower building experience or a new game." Peachie explained.

"Hmm, hey I just happen to have that right here..." Pulls out 300 index cards, a glue stick, and scissors out of his pocket.

"Awesome!" Peachie jumped up. "Well let's get cracking."

"Get cracking?" Kakashi asked. "Do you mean were building a tower?"

"Yup!" Peachie smiled. "And we best get busy before other people wake up and want to help."

Kakashi shook his head wondering who in the whole world, at this moment, snowed in at a Chicago Airport on their way to Kansas for Christmas, would want to join them.

Peachie began stacking, gluing folding and cutting index cards till they had a tower taller than Sasuke.

1:00am Chicago Airport

Peachie lay on the floor next to the tower. Kakashi was still up and about trying to find ways to stack more and more index cards on top. Peachie admired his devotion to using all the cards, to build the tallest tower. Even scraps were used somewhere in the tower.

7:30am Chicago Airport

Peachie awoke a few hours later. She was in complete darkness.

"Shikamaru!" she yelled scared.

"No mommy. I don't have school for another few hours..." he mumbled and then actually woke up. "Huh wha!" he looked around and realized he was in darkness.

Soon everyone was awake. Sakura was screaming her head off. "WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE! EVEN THE RESCUE PEOPLE ARE LEAVING US FOR DEAD!" she screamed.

"Sakura it's okay. I'll protect you." Sasuke said calmly. "Just come here and stay by my side."

Sakura began towards Suke's voice. But suddenly she bumped into something light, like paper. It fell over on Trowa. Trowa began screaming and Kakashi was everywhere at once asking "Which one of you touched my tower? How could you! This is my Tower! Was my Tower! Now it is gone! What will we do if it's gone?"

Sasuke told Kakashi to shut up. Bethy had helped Trowa out of the wreckage. Angiru, Bethy, Trowa, Sakura, Shikamaru were huddled in a corner together, the heat had gone off as well.

"It's all your fault!" Kakashi was yelling at Sasuke.

"It's you're own for being stupid enough to build a tower in the first place..." Sasuke said coolly.

Kakashi growled and pulled out four shuriken. He threw them where Suke's voice was. Sasuke at the last second had moved out of the way.

Meanwhile Peachie had found Kakashi's Sake Bottle and Trowa pulled a match out of his pocket. He lit it and shoved it in the bottle. They had a little fire going, not noticing the death battle going on.

Kakashi saw the fire and realized it was in his sake bottle. "NO!" he yelled. "MY SAKE!" he began running to get the bottle, but Sasuke tripped him and he lay face down on the floor.

Sasuke chuckled softly. Trowa was so surprised by Kakashi yelling he dropped the bottle and it shattered everywhere. The fire went out. Everyone groaned.

"KAKASHI!" Sakura yelled. Kakashi winced. "How could you do that? Now we have no fire to keep us warm! If we're gonna starve to death, we are SOOOO eating you first!"

"Ewww," everyone groaned.

"Well have you guys even thought of not being noticed?" Sakura yelled. "What if they don't know we're here?"

"Ohhh…" everyone said in unison. "We never thought of that."

"Hey I got an idea!" Peachie said smiling through the darkness.
