Authors Notes: o-o People actually like this story? Oooookkkkkk... That's kinda weird. Oh well... I guess I'll write more! I didn't know people like this kind of stuff... I should write more Crackfics more often! Ok... Uh... Dei-kun, do the disclaimer!

Deidara: Why?

Me: -sigh- Because I asked you to, and plus... -holds clay over bowl of acid-

Deidara: -sweatdrop- fine... Flicker doesn't own any of the Naruto characters. She does own Rose and Lily... Even though Rose is based off her friend. Can I have my clay back now?

Me: Sure! -throws clay to Deidara-

I got up the next morning tired. Well... I didn't really get up. I was forced awake by Pein. He was throwing random stuff at me. A moment later a pillow hit against my face.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I said, sitting up in bed.

"About time... I've been throwing things for at least 20 minutes now," Pein muttered. I looked outside. The sun was rising. Rose's eye twitched.

"How early is it?" she asked.

"About 5 a.m., yeah," Deidara said. Rose and I both groaned and fell back on our pillows.

"Breakfast is at 7, I suggest you start getting ready now," Sasori said. Rose snorted.

"Just because we're girls doesn't mean we take 2 hours to get ready!" she said. I snickered.

"It takes you an hour just to shower," I pointed out. Rose opened her mouth to say something, then closed it.

"Touche," she said, somehow getting out of bed and stumbling to the showers. I grabbed a towel (where did that come from?) and my shampoo and conditioner and followed Rose to the showers. I turned on the water and tested it. Good. There was hot water. I quickly stripped my clothes off and hopped in, locking the shower door so that no one would come in on me on accident. I quickly washed my hair and body, trying to save hot water for the boys. I turned the water off and snatched my towel, which was hanging over the door, and started to dry off. I heard another shower turn off and I knew Rose was done. Three other showers turned on and I realized the boys probably were taking showers now. Damn. I forgot a blow dryer... Not like there was electricity anyway... I towel dried my hair and then wrapped the towel around my body. I stepped out of the shower stall, feeling a bit better. The showers weren't too bad. A little small, but not bad. I did a quick peek outside the shower stalls to see if any of the boys were there, then ran to my clothes.

"Don't worry... I already checked," Rose said, her shirt halfway on.

"Good," I said, picking a short sleeved shirt and some jeans. It was about 70 degrees up here, and I heard we were going to do some activity today... Something about a relay race with our cabins... Great... I sucked at relay races. Unless they had a drawing station, I would probably lose it for the cabin. I took my brush and attempted to comb out my tangles.

"Grr! Stupid hair!" I muttered, ripping the brush through it. Rose was having the same problems, but to a lesser degree. I dug around in my suitcase. Where was my tangle spray? Damn... I must have forgotten it... How was I going to survive without it! Sighing I separated my hair into four sections and attempted to comb each section. I was done with half my head when the boys came out from their shower. I heard Rose's brush drop to the floor. I wondered what was wrong.

"Rose..." I trailed off when I saw the two boys. They had pants on (thank God...) but were shirtless. I heard another brush drop, mine. Damn they were hot! And toned too! Rose was staring, but then again, so was I! Rose was staring at Deidara, who, for once, had his hair down. I gazed in wonder at the hair. It was almost as thick as mine... Then I gazed at Sasori. His red hair was still wet but it still had the same sort of style, though now it covered his eyes. Hopefully he would see me staring. I let my gaze trail down to his chest. Damn... I could practically see the muscles! I was surprised I wasn't drooling. Or had a nose bleed... Oh God! I was staring... Snap out of it Lily! I lowered my gaze to the floor, trying to hide my blushing face. I bent down to pick up my brush and continued brushing my hair, silently cursing when I hit yet another tangle.

"Here, let me help..." I heard a voice. I turned to see Sasori, now in a shirt, holding his hand out for the brush.

"Uh... Ok," I said, handing the brush to him. He found the tangle and expertly combed it out without hurting my scalp. I heard a snort of laughter from Rose and I glared at her. Then got a really good idea. I winked at Deidara, who seemed to get the signal, and waited for the scene to unfold.

"Hey Rose, let me help with that yeah," Deidara said, taking the brush from her hands, inspected it, then threw it on the bed.

"Why are you using that cheap thing? This one is so much better un," he said, taking his brush from his bag. I suppressed a giggle. I didn't mean for him to go that far, but I wasn't going to stop him anytime soon. Rose blushed and stammered out something about not having enough money to buy a good brush. Sasori smirked. Deidara ran his brush through Rose's hair, untangling it expertly. (How can they be so good at untangling?) I snickered and it was Rose's turn to glare at me. I just smiled.

"There, that's better," Sasori said. I took my hand held mirror and inspected his work. Rather, his master piece. My mouth fell open at how perfect it looked.

"Thanks..." I managed to say after a moment. I almost missed his smirk. I pulled my perfectly perfect hair back into a low ponytail.

"Breakfast," Pein said, and we all got up to go eat. When we made it to the mess hall, we all got in line. It was a buffet. There was cereal, milk, pancakes, eggs, waffles, any type of breakfast food you could imagine! I grabbed some pancakes with a packet of syrup and sprayed some whipped cream on the pancakes. I also grabbed some scrambled eggs and a cup of orange juice. We all sat down with Naruto, Sai and Sakura again.

"Geez Naruto... Have some pancakes why don't you?" Rose said, eying the huge stack of pancakes on Naruto's plate. He just smiled. Another group came to sit with us.

"Rose, Lily, This is Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji," Sakura said. Ino was the one with the same hair style as Deidara. I giggled at it.

"What's so funny?" she asked. I pointed to Deidara's hair, then hers. Her eye twitched.

"WHAT THE HELL!" she practically screeched. Deidara glared at her.

"This is my hairstyle un!" he said. Ino snorted.

"No, It's mine!" Ino growled. Deidara narrowed his eyes. Sasori and Sakura sighed.

"Women are so troublesome..." Shikamaru muttered as Deidara and Ino argued. At that comment Deidara stopped.

"Hey! I'm a guy yeah!" he growled. Everyone else sweat dropped.

"Really, cause you look like a woman!" Naruto said.

"Naruto..." Rose and Sakura warned. Deidara looked pissed. He reached into his pocket and grabbed something and threw it at Naruto.

"Shit... Duck and Cover," Sasori said. Everyone ducked under the table. There was a small explosion. When I looked up again, Naruto was burnt. He wasn't burnt that bad, but enough so you could see the burn marks.

"Next time it'll be twice as hard," he growled.

"I'm surprised Naruto thought you were a female, because he's di..." but Sai was cut off by Sakura punching his face.

"Shut it Sai!" she growled. I looked down at my plate to see half of it gone.

"Who stole my food?" I asked. Shikamaru pointed to Choji, who now had a little of everything on his plate. We all sweat dropped. I shrugged and started to eat my food.

After breakfast, the cabin counselors came to get us and explain the relay race with the cabins. There was six stations in all, which meant for our cabin, two of us would have to go twice. Apparently Pein knew what the stations were.

"The first station is a foot race, who wants to do that?" he asked. I shook my head no. I couldn't run fast.

"I guess I'll do it, I'm sort of fast..." Rose said. Pein nodded.

"The second station is a puzzle, who wants to do that?" Pein asked. Deidara shook his head no.

"I'll do it," Sasori said. He was probably the smartest out of everyone in our cabin.

"The third station is a drawing station," before Pein could finish I interrupted.

"I'll do it!" I said. Pein nodded.

"The fourth is a cooking station, who wants to do that?" Pein asked.

"I'll do it yeah, I can cook!" Deidara said.

"Really?" I asked. He nodded. I shrugged.

"The fifth station is a uh... Dune buggy course, anyone want to do that?" Pein asked. I grinned at Rose.

"I'll do it, I rock at Dune Buggying!" Rose said.

"The last station is a checkers match with one of the counselors," Pein said. Deidara and Sasori looked at Pein, a look on their face saying what? I sighed. Rose sucked at checkers, so I guess I would have to do this.

"Fine, I'll do it..." I muttered. Pein nodded.

"Oh, and by the way, don't lose, or there will be a punishment," he said, walking out the door to the starting line of the race. Rose and I gulped. We followed Pein and took our places at the stations.

"Hey Tsundae... Can I use my colored pencils?" I asked Tsundae, who was the judge to the drawing contest.

"Sure, it won't make a difference to me," she said. But it would for me. I unpacked my colored pencils and studied who Rose was going up against. Lee from Cabin One, and Kiba from Cabin Two. I studied who Sasori was up against. Neji and Shino. Both were smart. I was up against Tenten and Sai. Deidara was up against Choji and Hinata. Rose was Dune Buggying against Ino and Naruto. Damn... They saved their smartest till last... I was trying to beat a counselor before Shikamaru and Sakura. Great.

"Ready Set Go!" Shizune called. Lee and Kiba pushed off, but Rose was already ahead. It was only a 100 meter race, and Rose rocked at sprinting, even if she was holding a small flag that said Cabin Three on it. Rose ended up first, Lee right behind her, Kiba right behind him. Rose passed the flag to Sasori who gazed at the riddle he got. A second later he got the answer before Neji and Shino.

"A person," he said, and Shizune nodded. Sasori threw the flag to me and I caught it. Tsundae lifted the curtain and showed me the thing I had to draw. By now Neji and Shino had gotten their riddles and it was a tie. I was drawing a vase of flowers. Tenten was drawing a bowl of fruit, and Sai was drawing a fancy lamp. I picked up my pencil and quickly drew a guide. I made sure to draw each flower and color each the perfect shade. Sai and I finished at the same time.

"Good," Tsundae said. I threw the flag to Deidara, who caught it and glanced at his recipe he had to cook. It looked like a stir fry. That was easy enough. The silver haired counselor/cook, Kakashi, was judging that station. A few moments later I smelled a really good scent in the air. Hinata was cooking ramen. But the smell was the stir fry. Deidara was right, he could cook. A moment later he slid the plate to Kakashi and Kakashi lightning fast pulled down his mask and lightning fast ate the stir fry.

"How does he do that?" I asked Sakura beside me.

"I don't know..." Sakura said. A second later Hinata was done and Kakashi ate the ramen lightning fast too. He signaled that they both could go on. Deidara threw the flag to Rose, who, thankfully, caught it. Naruto now had his flag and the two were racing.

"Outta my way Naruto!" Rose said, flooring the gas petal.

"Fat chance Rose!" Naruto said, also flooring it. It ended up as a tie and they both handed their flag off to Sakura and me. I sighed and waited for the empty chair to be filled. Sakura was waiting too. Soon Ino caught up and Shikamaru was waiting too. It was getting really boring. Finally the counselors came. Shikamaru was up against Pein, thank God. Pein would keep him guessing until I was almost done with the game. Sakura was up against Kurenai. I was up against Anko. Great... I made the first move. Anko narrowed her eyes and moved one of her pieces. It kept going on like this until I saw a perfect opportunity to triple jump Anko's pieces and get a king. But I had to sacrifice one piece. I moved my black piece in the open spot, and sure enough, Anko took the bait.

"Ha!" she said, jumping one of my pieces. I smirked and moved my second piece, jumping three of her pieces.

"King me," I said. She stared in disbelief. Grumbling, she made her move. I glanced at Pein's game. It was tied. I glanced at Sakura's game. Kurenai was winning, then Sakura jumped her and it was tied. I was winning the game with Anko. I glanced at the bored. I could jump the rest of her pieces if she moved that one forward one... So I made another sacrifice. And she took the bait again.

"Yes!" she said. I smirked again. I moved one of my pieces and jumped the rest of her pieces.

"You fell for it again. Checkmate," I said, getting up and quickly scanning the area for the finish line. It was another 200 meter run. Damn... And Sakura was almost finished. I started to sprint. Sakura was done now and was gaining fast. Damn... She was really fast when she wanted to be. I willed my legs to go faster. Everything was going by in a blur. All I was focused on was the finish line. Sakura was right behind me now. Shit... I tried to run faster. But Sakura was catching up. Then it hit me. I took a deep breath, only 20 more meters. Had to use my stored energy. Even though this wasn't an emergency. I let my extra energy flood me and I started to run faster. This energy wouldn't last for long. Sakura was now getting a little behind. Almost there... Shit... Energy waning... In a last ditch effort to cross the line, which was now just 2 meters in front of me, I jumped like I was doing the long jump. Sakura was right behind me, I could feel her breath. The finish line was now just a foot away! But I was sinking in the air. Damn... I couldn't think anymore, so I let my instincts take over. And I reached for the line and once my palms hit the ground, I went into a front hand spring. Maybe those gymnastic lessons weren't a total waste. But I crossed the line, a millisecond before Sakura. I smiled. Then exhaustion finally over took me and I slowly sat down.

"That was awesome Lily!" Rose said, coming over. I smiled. Sasori and Deidara came over too.

"When did you learn to run so fast?" Rose asked. I shrugged. Sakura looked pretty tired too.

"That was a cool front hand spring trick you did at the end yeah," Deidara said.

"Thanks..." I said, finally having some breath back.

"By the way... What do we exactly win?" I asked. Sasori, Deidara, and Rose shrugged. I groaned. I just practically sprinted my life out and I didn't even know what I was sprinting for? Tsundae came over.

"Congratulations! You won a better cabin! Well... Not really better, just more comfortable beds and better showers," she said. I smiled. A comfortable bed would be good right now.

"Yes! Comfortable beds!" Rose cheered. Everyone else sweat dropped.

We walked to the new cabin. Tsundae unlocked the door and we all rushed in. Our clothes were already in there and so was everything else. I collapsed on a king sized bed. Wait... My head shot up and did a quick count of all the beds. Three king sized beds. Five people. Pein already claimed one bed as his own, which meant... Damn. I would have to share a bed with Rose. It could be worse. Then Pein played a nasty little trick on us.

"New rule!" he said. We all turned our attention to him.

"Sasori will sleep in the same bed as Lily and Deidara will sleep in the same bed as Rose!" he smirked his 'I'm so evil, I should take over the world' smirk.

"WHAT??" came four screams. But Pein was already going to take a shower.

"And if you don't, I'll sick Anko on you!" he said. We all shut up. Anko was scary. Especially if you won a game of checkers against her. Which I did. Damn Pein and his evil ideas. I sulked and decided to go check the bath rooms out. They were alright... Better than our old cabin's. Glanced in an empty shower and took note to use it in the morning. It was way nicer than the other ones. I wandered back to the main area of the cabin and checked my watch. Almost dinner time. Pein called us for dinner and we made our way to the mess hall. It was ramen tonight. And Naruto had at least 20 bowls. I could barely eat one! That kid must have a huge stomach! After dinner we went back to our cabin and I took my book out to read for a while.

I glanced at my watch. Crap. I went a little overboard on reading! It was 9:45. Shit... I only had 15 minutes to get ready for bed. I grabbed my pajamas and dashed to the bathroom. Partly because I didn't want to change in front of Deidara and Sasori and partly because I had to go to the bathroom. Rose followed me a moment later. After I was done changing I threw my clothes in my dresser and jumped in bed. Just as I got under the covers, trying not to think about Sasori just a few feet away, the door opened to revel Anko... Yet again. Then we heard screaming. I think it was Naruto...

"NO! I WAS IN BED! I WAS IN BED!! PLEASE!! I WAS IN BED!!" he screamed.

"Oh shut up already..." Tsundae growled, and then we heard a thump. Naruto was now in the dark still complaining.

"Damn! I wanted to drag someone out tonight! I'm in a bad mood since I lost that damned checkers match!" Anko muttered, glaring at me. I could see Rose suppress a snicker. I glared at her. A few moments later Anko was gone. I tried not to think about the red head just a foot away from me and scooted closer to the edge of the bed. Damn Pein and his evil ideas. That was my last thought before I fell asleep.
