well ppl, here's the next chapter thank you all so much for ur wonderful reviews! Srry it took so long to update... but here it is!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...ah, I wish I did...

The car ride that kills...wait...kills?

They traveled in an awkward silence; Naruto drove with Sasuke in the passenger's seat and Sakura in the back. She looked around, and the car was clean...She was used to guys cars being dirty, but this one was spotless. She looked out the widow and admired the scenery. It was much different then her home, she lived in a suburb, and near a lake, but here there were woods, and fields, no houses. She sighed, she already missed her house, but she wanted this more then anything.

"So, umm Sakura, did you grow up in Boston?" Naruto asked trying to break the awkward silence. Sakura smiled and said "No, I grew up in Michigan, Travers City actually. I love their cherry festival! We had a house right on the water, and cherry trees in our yard." "Oh wow, Sasuke here's from Michigan too, he's from Detroit though. Weird isn't it Sasuke?" Sasuke didn't reply, he just crossed his arms and ignored them. "What about you Naruto?" "Oh, I'm from California. I grew up in LA. I learned to surf when I was six." Naruto said with a smile. "I wish I knew how to surf..." Sakura said, and Sasuke just let out a sigh. "Maybe sometime we could hook up and I could teach you!" Sakura thought for a moment. "I'm sorry Naruto, but I'm going to be busy..." "Aw that's fine Sakura." Then it was silent again.

They drove in silent for awhile until Sakura made an effort to brake it. "So...ah, what do you guys do for a living?" Naruto smiled. "Well, I work on cars as a part time job to help pay off expenses." Sakura looked over to Sasuke and then asked him, "What about you?" "Hmp." He answered flatly. "Oh..." she said. "What about you Sakura?" Naruto asked. "Umm...well I just graduated high school, valedictorian, and I just turned 18...umm...I don't have a job...yet...but I'm going into the medical field." Sasuke was impressed; this girl had her head on straight and a goal in mind. Naruto smiled and said "I'm 20! One day, you just wait! I'll be president!" Naruto answered cheerfully. "I'm 21." Sasuke said coolly, but Sakura was shocked that he said anything at all, and on his own too.

After Sasuke spoke it went silent again, and stayed that way until...Naruto let out a load fart... "Ooo, sorry bout that you guys! Better roll down the windows!" He said as he rolled all the windows down. "Naruto!" Sasuke said aggravated. But Naruto played dumb and said "I can't hear you, the wind is too loud! What'd you say?" Sasuke just got even madder, and yelled "Naruto! You idiot!" "Oh boy...what kind of nut case did I get myself into...?" Sakura mumbled to herself. 'One doesn't talk; the other's an idiot...' Sakura thought to herself. After they were all aired out, they rolled the windows up, and continued in silence...again.

Then after a little while, Sasuke's phone rang, He flipped it open and held it away from his ear, Sakura questioned what he was doing, but before she could ask she herd girls squealing on the other line "Sasuke-kun!" "I love you!" "Go out with me!" then he hung up. "Wow..." She said. He turned around and glared at her, and she said "I'm sorry, so sorry!" then he turned back around and she sighed in relief. They were almost there. Five more minutes, then she could walk, and she was going to be on time too. Or so she thought...

Just as they were on the exiting ramp, a tire blew... and they went swerving, and after a while made there way to the side of the road to fix it. They all got out, and Sakura watched them as they worked. Sasuke used the jack to lift up the car, and Naruto grabbed all the tools they needed and took them to Sasuke, and they changed the tire in about twenty minutes. Then Sasuke took care of the tools as Naruto took care of the old tire. Then they all got back in. "Hey Sakura, what time did you have to be there?" Naruto asked her when they were all ready to go. "Umm, at six..." She was going to be late...She still had to clean up...and get ready...and it was five to six, and they still had about 10 minutes of driving left. "Crap..." She said as they started moving. "Just tell us where you need to go, and we'll take you right there." "Umm, nah, just drop me off at a gas station, I still need to get ready too, so I'll let you know when I want out." "Good" Sasuke said.

When she could see the college in sight she picked the closest gas station and they dropped her off. "Thank you so much! I'm only a little late, and without you guys, I'd still be stranded. Thank you so much." She told them as she got her things out of the trunk, all three pink bags. She gave them her cell phone number for the sake of her jeep, and if they ever needed anything, she'd be more then happy to help them. Then with a wave she walked into the gas station and to the nearest bathroom to clean up, and make herself look good again. She then dragged her things down the road to Harvard University. She was going to get in...if it was the last thing she ever did.
