The next morning Kisame, Zetsu, Deidara and Itachi were sitting around the campsite while Sasori scrambled eggs in the camp stove (Sasori was actually quite the cook). Hidan had picked some wildflowers that he wasn't supposed to pick for a centerpiece on the picnic table and Kakuzu was getting the plates, toaster, orange juice and other fun breakfast items out of the van.
"What's the capital of Spain, yeah?" Deidara asked.
"Madrid." Zetsu answered him. Deidara wrote that down.
"Okay, well what's a 6 letter word for 'root vegetable', yeah." Deidara continued.
"Carrot." Zetsu told him. Deidara wrote that down.
"Oh, what's…" Zetsu cut him off.
"Deidara, why is it you always insist on doing the crossword puzzle when you don't know any of the answers?" Zetsu wanted to know.
"Hey! I got the answer to 5 across, yeah!"
"Deidara, the clue was 'way of kissing involving the tongue' of course you would get that one!" Kisame said.
"So, what time is Dana going to be here today?" Itachi asked. Deidara glared at him. "What? I didn't say anything about sleeping with her! I just want to know what time she's going to arrive…you know so I can change clothes into something clingier."
"She'll be here by 11:30, yeah and you stay away from her. Besides, Itachi she is so not going to sleep with you, yeah." Deidara said trying to figure out the next clue to the crossword puzzle.
"Hey, Hidan and Kakuzu have never met her." Sasori said flipping the eggs around.
"Oh! You two will love my Dana, yeah. She's smart and she's beautiful….and she's my favorite sister, yeah!" Deidara was enthused.
"She's your only sister." Itachi said, breaking down his overzealous friend.
"So, she's still my favorite, yeah."
"Okay,get over here, the eggs are done and Kakuzu has the toast coming out of the toaster." Sasori said. Hidan said a pre-breakfast prayer. Breakfast was so far surprisingly un-chaotic. The eggs were cooked to perfection, well Itachi and Deidara insisted on only egg whites so Sasori had to cook those separately. Kakuzu's toast was perfectly brown and the orange juice quite cold. Even clean-up was a breeze….with all that orderliness something was bound to go wrong sooner or later.
"Okay, Sasori that was a great breakfast, you want to be the first to come out in the kayak with me?" Kisame asked.
"Hell yeah I would! I can take the cell phone and see if I get service!" Sasori quickly changed into swim trunks, grabbed the pink RAZR and was ready for the kayak.
"You know Sasori, you're much more desirable in human form and dressed like that." Itachi said…that was strange it was…well nice of him. Must have been the open air combined with the rage pills. Sasori and Kisame picked up the kayak and headed toward the lake.
They approached the shore of the lake and slipped the kayak into the water jumping in before it got too far way from the bank. Kisame was in charge of the oar.
"Ah! This is terrific isn't it, Sasori?" Kisame asked delighted to be on the lake.
"It sure is!" Sasori answered making himself comfortable in the kayak.
"You know Sasori, we don't hang out enough, we have got to hang out more!" Kisame said.
"You're right, I mean that's the whole reason we made Itachi and Deidara roommates, so I could escape Deidara's well…his interesting personality and you could escape Itachi's constant drama." Sasori said.
"You know, we need a thing. Hidan and Kakuzu have the knitting, which though strange, the scarves and coordinating mittens will come in handy this winter. Itachi and Deidara well, they get laid and they look good and Zetsu took my fichus so he has that." Kisame said.
"Kisame, we should make the kayak our thing." Sasori said.
"Yeah! Okay, Sasori from now on that's our thing….the kayak!" Kisame declared. Neither one of them were paying attention to where the kayak was going because Kisame continuously was turning around talking to Sasori. However, when Kisame turned around it was too late…they were getting ready to collide with a bunch of people in kayakers in a race. "Oh…shit….Sasori…um….you may want to hold on tight." Kisame said watching the horde of racers plow toward them.
"So how do you two get your teeth so white, really?" hidan asked Itachi and Deidara.
"We'll have to show you when we get back home." Itachi told him. Just then a car was coming down the campground road, actually it was a taxi.
"She's here! She's here, she's here she's here, yeah." Deidara said quickly getting out of his chair and throwing the magazine he was reading on Itachi.
"Boys…she has arrived." Itachi said to Hidan and Kakuzu. Dana paid the taxi driver and got out, he pulled off…and there she was.
Okay, this is the last chapter I can post before I leave for the weekend. Expect updates on either Sunday night or Monday of next week. The next chapter is going to be quite fun if I do say so myself!
