Author's Notes: Hey guys! It's another chappie, from moi. How's it going, folks? Personally, I'm feeling really good cause summer vacation is almost here. Yay!

Disclaimer(s): I do not own Naruto or 6TEEN. Any original ideas that aren't familiar in any or the series mentioned do belong to me. Why are these things even necessary? I mean its beamed. "A pleasure to meet you! Would you like some lemonade?" she asked.

Kakashi didn't answer; he had no idea what to say.

Despite his constant protests, Jude had dragged him to meet the gang at the lemon. So here he was, facing six teenagers asking weird and nosy questions when he was supposed to be on a mission.

The Jounin frowned.

Caitlin went ahead and poured him a glass of lemonade anyways. While doing so, she couldn't help but examine him. Wow, he's so cute, she thought with a barely audible giggle, I love the hair and the attitude… I wonder why he wears a mask, though.

Jonesy went ahead and voiced Caitlin's thoughts. "So why do you wear a mask, bro?"

Kakashi frowned. He had seen Caitlin's dreamy look and it was making him uncomfortable. He shrugged casually. "Uh… it's just a mask."

Jonesy nodded and continued his questioning. "Hey, I've noticed that you are all wearing identical headbands. Why is that?"

Sakura bit her lip. "Uh… the place where we come from, everyone wears a headband."

"Oh. And why are those two so silent?" he asked, indicating Sasuke and Naruto.

The ramen fanatic blinked. "Eh, you point at me, hai?"

Jude chuckled. "Dude, why do you use weird words like that? And do you like to skateboard, bro?"

Naruto's jaw dropped. "Eh… yes? No? What is 'skateboard'? And what is a 'dude'?"

Jude fixed him with a look of pure shock. "Duuude, that is so uncool."

Naruto stuffed his hands in his pockets. "My name is not 'dude'! I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Dattebayo!"

Jude was lost. "Sure, little dude… that's cool."

Nikki sighed. "Oh, nevermind, guys. Oh, my shift starts in a while, I got to go."

Jen nodded. "Sure! I better get going too."

The two girls stood up and walked in opposite directions. Wyatt got up as well.

"Hey, bro, where are you going?" asked Jude casually.

"Hum, to get some coffee."

"Cool."

Caitlin giggled. "Hey, Kakashi, my shift ends in a couple of minutes, but I can leave early, right, Kakashi?"

"…" from the Jounin.

Caitlin continued. "And you know what? I can show you around the mall…"

Without asking for Kakashi's permission, he swiped off the hat and apron and motioned for him to follow her. Kakashi shuffled forward uncertainly, but as soon as the three Genin turned to follow him, Caitlin hastily said, "Oh, you three can stay here with Jonesy and Jude."

Kakashi started to protest but Caitlin reassured him that it would be fine. Then, she hastily made him follow her.

Thus, the three Genin were stuck with Jonesy and Jude.

Sakura blinked. "That just happened so fast… one minute everyone was here and the next, almost everyone is gone…" she declared more to herself than to anyone else.

Jude flashed a grin. "And the next minute I'll be gone too. I've got to work on this awesome decked-out escalator move. Anyone coming?"

No one moved.

Jonesy smoothed back his hair. "Face it, Jude, they want to see the Jonesmeister in action!"

Hearing that, Sakura and Naruto suddenly shifted closer to Jude and further away from Jonesy.

The blonde teen laughed. "That is so cool, dudes!"

Jonesy pouted. "But he still wants to stay with me!" he protested, indicating Sasuke.

The Uchiha shook his head. "No, be better if I alone."

Jonesy felt his jaw drop. "So no one wants the Jonesmeister! Ah…"

&&&

"And that's Albatross & Finch, and over there, we have the place where Jude and Wyatt work. Oh, look, benches! My feet are killing me! Maybe we can sit down. Besides, I'm sure you're tired of being dragged around the mall. Wouldn't you want to know more about me?" Caitlin said as she made Kakashi sit on the bench with her, leaning uncomfortably close to him.

No one could see Kakashi frown under his mask.

Without waiting for an answer, Caitlin continued blabbering rapidly. "I like pink, my job is okay but I'm only working to pay back my dad…"

Half an hour later…

"And that's pretty much everything about me! And what about you, hun? What are you like? What are your interests? What's your favorite colour? Do you like lemonade?"

Kakashi had been looking in the opposite direction. He turned his head towards her lazily. "I'm sorry, Caitlin-san, did you say something?"

And since we all know that Naruto is an anime, even though 6TEEN isn't, Caitlin sweat dropped.

&&&

"Hey, Naruto! Check this out!" screamed Jude as he did a 360 flip on the escalator and almost knocked over a nerdy man in a brown vest.

Naruto was laughing hysterically. "Whoa! Jude-san! That so cool!"

Sakura bonked Naruto's head. "Oh, shut up, baka."

The hyper shinobi rubbed his head while demanding, "Who said we couldn't have fun on a mission, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura ignored him.

Jude had switched escalators and had bumped into a girl. Apparently, he knew the girl well, for he was apologizing without any awkwardness.

Sakura went down the escalator to join him, followed by Naruto.

They were both greatly irritated by the slow-moving escalator, since they could have landed next to Jude with a single bound in three seconds flat, but were forced to use the escalator due to being on an undercover mission.

As soon as the two Genin were down the escalator, Jude turned around to greet them. "Hey, dudes, this is my girlfriend, Star."

Naruto grinned. "Konnichiwa."

Star was a slim girl with orange hair tied up in a ponytail. She was wearing a blue shirt and beige three-quarter pants. Large headphones were placed on her ears, presumably playing music.

"Hi…" Star said, "Are you friends of Jude?"

"Eh…"

Sakura once again found the need to interfere. "Hai- uh, yes. I am Sakura Haruno and this is my… classmate, Naruto-kun."

Hearing his name being pronounced, Naruto correctly assumed he was being introduced. "Naruto Uzamaki!" he proclaimed loudly.

Sakura pasted a big smile on her face while Inner Sakura called Naruto all sorts of names and threatened to kill him.

Star gave a light chuckle. "So are you here by yourself? Well, you're with Jude…" she said. "But if you're here with Jude than you're not by yourself…" she added, pondering her own question out loud.

"Kakashi-sensei." Sakura declared hastily.

"Who?"

Jude chuckled. "They're with Kakashi. He's a weird white-haired dude wearing a mask and a headband that covers his right eye. He's awesome."

"Oh… I see…"

&&&

"He is so cute!"

Caitlin was seated with her friends at the table next to the lemon. Kakashi and Team 7 had already left the mall to find a place to spend the night.

Jen frowned. "But he's… old."

Caitlin frowned. "He's only one decade older than me." she protested weakly.

Nikki gave a smug laugh. "Yeah, which is 3652 days." she added.

The blonde whimpered.

Jonesy shrugged. "Think you've got it bad? No one appreciates the Jonesmeister anymore!"

Nikki raised an eyebrow. "Pardon me, but when did anyone ever appreciate the 'Jonesmeister'?"

"Hey!"

Caitlin cleared her throat. "Come on, back to my problem. Anyways, his hair sticks up in the most adorable fashion…"

Wyatt nodded. "Think so, do you? I just think it's weird and messy."

Caitlin shot him a glare before continuing. "Anyways, I… I really wonder how I'll be able to kiss him with that mask…" she left off, pensive.

Jonesy started guffawing. "You think? Oh, just great, Caitlin. You've got your sights on a boy who won't be able to kiss you!" Then he burst into hysterical laughs again.

Nikki frowned. "Jonesy! I wouldn't talk; you're going after girls who aren't even aware of your existence!"

That shut him up.

"Thanks Nikki." replied a grateful Caitlin.

"Hey, no prob."
