Hey you guys! (Electric Company joke…lol) I'm glad you stuck around for the third chapter. I haven't been updating consistent with updates, but I have good reasons! I've got a robotics competition tomorrow and my robot's not finished! Wish me the best of luck, and while you're at it, you can send me some painkillers to ease my headache…Okay let's read!

PCKAPA CH3

Some miserable hours later, Naruto and Sasuke landed at their island destination. Sasuke was glad to be able to put his feet back on earth since Naruto kept pestering him once he woke up. A few hundred kilometres back, the blonde asked him to join the Mile High Club.

"Hell no! Do you even know what that is?!" Sasuke spat at him, almost forgetting not to yell. "How about joining the Six Feet Under Club? I hear they're offering membership!"

As soon as the captain bid them a goodbye from the intercom, everyone left their seats and got off the plane. Pretty hula dancers holding colourful leis greeted them at the bottom of the stairs.

"Aloha and welcome to Hawaii!" they said as they threw the flowers over the tourists' necks. When Naruto got down to get his, he vocally acknowledged their beauty.

"Man, you girls are cute!"

Sasuke was getting more and more irritated. Fortunately for his sake, none of them seemed to understand Japanese even though they looked Asian. Then he whipped his head around and took in the new sights. Heck, there were plenty of palm trees and colourful shirts, but no beach in sight yet.

He gently pulled Naruto away from the hula girls and guided him into the airport to get their things. When they got inside, Sasuke split himself from Naruto to find the front desk.

There was a ponytailed man at the counter wearing a green aloha shirt. He looked up from his computer with a lazy smile. "Aloha, sir. How may I help you?"

"Yeah, aloha. Can I get a rental car at this airport?"

"Certainly." The man made a few keystrokes. "But be mindful that gas is expensive here. We have one convertible left, the rest being four-door sedans. Interested?"

"I'll take the convertible. How much?"

The man made a few clicks. "Two hundred fifty a day. Now will that be cash or credit?"

Sasuke nearly lost his composure. "On second thought, forget about the car rental. Maybe I'll get a bike. Can I get a map?"

The man's smile opened to a laugh. "Sure. But would you like me to call a cab instead? They're cheap."

The raven thought this man would try to sell ice cream to an Eskimo, so he gave in to make him happy. "Yeah sure." He handed over his credit card. "And while you're at it, could I get a currency exchange?"

"Sorry, but the ATM's by the food court." He handed him a folded paper. "Your cab will be here in fifteen minutes. Enjoy Hawaii, sir."

Sasuke left the line and went off to find his blonde. He spotted Naruto sitting on a bench with their luggage. He felt relieved knowing that the blonde wasn't causing him any unneeded embarrassment. He navigated the crowd to fetch him.

"Hey Naruto, we can leave now," he said, sitting down next to him. "And thanks for getting my bags."

"No problem. But since you paid for a fancy hotel, shouldn't the airport be able to send it straight to the hotel? I mean that's just hospitality for crying out loud!"

With a roll of his eyes, Sasuke stood up. "You hungry, dobe?"

"Your treat?"

"Nothing above twenty dollars. Grab our stuff and let's go find the food court."

So they set off for food. Lucky for the raven that there wasn't a long line at the ATM. Naruto sat himself at a table and waited for one of the lines to get shorter. Though his English wasn't as great as Sasuke's, he could still pick something to eat. Then his eyes caught onto a certain item on the menu.

Sasuke came back stuffing his wallet full of green bills. Grudgingly he handed Naruto a twenty.

The blonde got in line and spoke to the cashier the best he could. "Two ramen burger, please!" She took the money and slid him a small box containing his order. He was too excited to get his change, so Sasuke took it for him and ordered a vanilla chai smoothie to cool himself down.

They walked to the front of the building and waited outside for the cab. Sasuke was starting to envy Naruto for wearing flip-flops. It was cold in Japan, but it was nice and toasty on the plane and muggy in Hawaii. So he took off his jacket and stuffed it into one of his bags. Two minutes into their wait, a yellow car pulled up. The driver stepped out of the car to put their bags in the trunk.

When they got ready to go to the city, Sasuke said to the driver, "Mahalo Hotel please."

"Alright."

As the airport faded into the background, the city around them showed itself to be quite an eyeful. Nearly everyone wore those traditional flowered patterns, either as dresses or a button-down. Sasuke even spotted a girl in aloha overalls licking at a Popsicle while walking her dog. There were a few street performers on the corners, open grills on the green grasses, and people sitting on blankets underneath short and tall palm trees. Sasuke made a mental note of which cafes and venues he'd visit once he dropped his bags in his hotel room. It seemed to be lunch hour, so the traffic would probably be heavy for a little longer.

In the midst of his daydreaming, a beach finally uncovered itself over the horizon.

"I see you like that beach," said the driver.

Sasuke snapped from his daydream and stopped sipping on his smoothie, noticing that Naruto was just about finished stuffing his face with those noodle burgers.

"Magical things happen on that beach around sunset." The driver gave a laugh. "And the Mahalo is just above it. Hopefully you'll get to see the view."

The Mahalo Hotel appeared around the corner after a final turn. It was tall and wide, its towering storeys looking down on Sasuke and Naruto while its width appeared to welcome them with open arms. Blooming flowers that decorated the area seemed to wave at them in the gentle breeze as they swayed over the lush green grass. Sasuke could even hear far-off splashing of a pool, which almost blended into the splashing of ocean waves onto the shore.

The driver took their bags into the hotel and bid them a goodbye. The view from the outside could not compare to the inside. The lobby was busy with aloha-clad bellhops pushing carts and moving luggage. In the centre was a glorious fountain that allowed its waters to flow in intricate patterns. The glass elevators floated up and down the walls like angels entering and exiting the heavens. There were a few pockets in the walls that turned out to be aquariums where exotic fish swam. The furniture looked so comfortable, even more so as portly man stretched himself out over a vibrating couch. The pictures Sasuke saw on the website just didn't do justice.

"Aloha, travellers. Welcome to the Mahalo Hotel," brightly said the woman at the front desk. Sasuke and Naruto walked to the front desk, still eying the sights of the lobby.

"Uh, yeah. Reservation for Sasuke Uchiha," he told her.

She typed on her keyboard. "Uh-huh. A deluxe penthouse suite with an ocean view, 146 on the sixth floor." She presented him a key card. "Help yourself to our five-star buffet, our luxury spa, hot springs, workout rooms, and pools. We also have a luau every Friday. Enjoy your vacation."

Overwhelmed with the info, Sasuke and Naruto took the angelic glass elevator to the sixth floor. The ride was quiet, not even a sound came from the elevator's ascent. The view was even more breathtaking from above. Sasuke watched as the fountain started to spew its water in rapid spirals. After the elevator came to a soft stop, the sixth floor filled their sights.

It was wide and the floor's tiles were shiny enough that Sasuke and Naruto were looking back at themselves. The doors had generous amounts of space between each other. The raven scanned the golden numbers on the doors for his suite, but Naruto beat him to it.

"I found it Sasuke!"

Sasuke swiped the card and opened the door. The bellhop had already delivered their bags, placing them neatly on the sofa. Sasuke could tell that Naruto liked the flat screen and the mini fridge since he immediately took out a coconut water and plopped himself down on top of his bag to start channel surfing.

"You better enjoy that spot 'cause that's where you're sleeping for the rest of the week," Sasuke hissed as he touted his bags to his bed. "And try not to eat from the mini fridge. I have to pay for that stuff!"

Naruto gave a big yawn and stretched himself out. "Hey Sasuke, you know that thing that happens to you when you travel and can't sleep right?"

"You mean jet lag?"

"Yeah, that's it. What time is it at home?"

Sasuke pulled out his phone. "It's around six in Konoha. We've lost a day and some hours, so I think it's a little after one here." He spotted an aquarium clock on the nightstand. "And I'm right. Then I'm out of service range. Looks like I don't have a phone this week."

"Okay then. I'll be down at the buffet if you need me," Naruto told him. "I need some sugar to reset my clock."

"You don't need a translator? I mean, this is an English speaking country—state or whatever," Sasuke said, absentmindedly showing concern.

Naruto shook his head. "Nah, I just follow my nose and my stomach. And there's plenty of other Asians here."

When the door clicked shut, Sasuke dove into the fluffy-softness of his queen-sized bed. The silky, puffy pillows were about to swallow him whole as they rubbed over his body. The raven took in a deep breath, letting the light flowery smell fill his lungs.

'Screw jet lag. I'm tired as hell…'

And he fell asleep.

A short A/N right here. How on earth can you write about things you've never done and places you've never been? No idea, so the airport scene's a bit spotty. And my time math may be off.
