They were awakened the next morning by a loud bell clanging inside the room. They all leapt up, clutching at various weapons that weren't there and Mika set the curtains on fire before they realized it was only the intercom.
"Wakey wakey camperoonies! You've all got to come down to the mess hall for breakfast and your first activity of the week! Aren't you all lucky? This will be so much fun!"she squealed, annoyingly peppy for so early in the morning. The boys all scrambled back to their cabins, as the majority of them were lacking shirts,and the girls got dressed while they were gone.
They all ended up in the mess hall, half asleep, to hear what the counselor had to say.
"Today, we'll be doing an extra special activity to increase teamwork, and make you all friends, and blah blah blah..." The counselor blabbed on and on. Mika pushed Gaara's plate away from him to keep him from falling asleep on his pile of syrup covered pancakes. Kiba however was not so lucky, and Akamaru was happily licking syrup off his face.
"So that's why we'll be spending today learning to squaredance!" finished the counselor, causing everyone to suddenly become wide awake.
"You can't be serious!" snapped Sasuke. "I'm the last member of my clan (well except for my stupid brother.) I can't do that! It's undignified!"
"TOO BAD!" snarled the counselor. Then sweetly, "Now, who wants to go first?"
"Ah ha! She can't see me if I cover my eyes!" said Naruto triumphantly putting his hands over his eyes. Gaara's sand flew out of his gourd and there was a large sandcastle where he had been standing a minute ago. Tenten hid under the table. Kiba pulled a pancake over his head. Kankuro pulled up his hood and pretended to be a cat. Kabuto pulled a lampshade over his head. Temari hid behind her fan. Shikamaru held up a sign saying "Not here." Shino pulled his collar up the rest of the way. Mika clapped her hands together in a seal. "Hide under a blanket no jitsu!" and a blue blanket fell down to cover her. Ino put on a pair of fake glasses with the nose and mustache attached. Hinata pulled her forehead protector over her head. Choji pulled his bag of potato chips over his head.
"Hey, where did all my kids go?" asked the counselor with a puzzled expression. "Well, I guess it's just you four!" she said pointing at the only people left, Sakura, Lee, Neji and Sasuke. "Pair up!" The three boys realized with horror that unless they got to Sakura first, they would have to dance with another boy.
"Sakura! I shall win your love!" yelled Lee, making a mad leap for her. He brushed her arm just before Sasuke and Neji touched her.
"It looks like the You get to dance with Sakura!" said the counselor pointing at Lee. "I guess you two will just have to dance with each others!" she said happily, pointing at Sasuke and Neji, who immediately glared at each other as though it was the other's fault. The counselor pulled out a big CD player and turned it on. It started blasting out cheesy country music. "Now, just do what I say ok?" she said. She pulled out a piece of paper. "I have written down what you need to do on this sheet of paper! Now, swing your partner round and round!" Lee picked up Sakura by the waist and gracefully swung her in a circle then set her down. Neji flung Sasuke into a wall. "Now dosey do! Does anyone know what that is? Because I don't!" Neji and Sasuke decided it meant to beat your partner to a pulp and began to do just that. Lee was doing an insane looking happy dance.
"Oh Gai sensei! I got to dance with Sakura! My life's dream has come true, and I can now be happy forever!" In all the commotion, someone stole the CD player.
"Well, that's all the squaredance stuff I know, and it looks like the music's gone! Everyone go change into your bathing suits for the next activity!" Said the counselor. Seeing that it was now safe, all the "hiding" students came out and went to their respective cabins to get their bathing suits on.
Meanwhile... "Bwahahaha! I, the hermit of camp place with the funny long name, have stolen their precious CD player!They'll never know where it went! Now, what does this button do?" The sound of cheesy country music started coming from the closet. "Ahhh! No! It burns! Make it stop make it stop!" the closet rocked back and forth,and then there was the sound of a smash, and silence. "Whew! Thank goodness for my handy giant mallet!"
Anyway, back to the others. The boys were all waiting impatiently outside the girl's cabin.
"How long can it take for them to change anyway?" asked Neji.
"Ugh, this is so troublesome." moaned Shikamaru. And then, the girls came out. Sasuke, stared. Shikamaru stared. Neji stared. Naruto stared. The girls were wearing bikinis. There were sequins, polka dots, stripes, beads, fringe, and enough skin to make them drool. However, the boys were saved from having to say anything when the counselor showed up, with an enormous duck shaped floating ring.
"Okay! We're going to go down to the lake to swim!" she said. "Come on!" she herded them all down to the lake. Most of them splashed happily in. Gaara, still with his giant gourd strapped to his back, regarded the water with outright suspicion. Akamaru and Kiba splashed right in, showing a dog's love of water. Kiba was happily floating on his back when suddenly...
"Well, we meet again." he sputtered up to see his prior sugar induced hallucination. In a wet bikini. Light blue with sequins and little fish on it. "Want to see if we can make out underwater?"
"Mwaaaah..." he muttered.
"Hey, why did Kiba just break out in a spontaneous nosebleed?" asked Naruto to no one in particular.
Meanwhile, the counselor was trying to get Kankuro and Temari to go in farther than their ankles. They were trying to explain to her that they had grown up in a desert and were not to go into the water, they knew about that and the sharks and electric eels and vicious sea monsters thank you.
"But, our lake is filled with happy dolphins! Look how playful they are!" said the counselor pointing to where Gaara, clinging tightly to his giant floating gourd and trying to keep from getting any water on hi was being dragged out deeper into the lake by a pair of dolphins. "See! They're having fun!"
"Aren't dolphins supposed to be saltwater animals?" asked Mika.
"Noo! Evil dolphins! Get away!" snapped Gaara, flailing ineffectively at one of them "Turtles! To my aid!"
Naruto was happily splashing around in the water.
"Yeah! Swimming! I love swimming! I'm the best here! I'm the hokage of swimming!" he shouted.
"Oh yeah?" snapped Sasuke. "I'll race you over to that rock and back!"
"You're on!" snapped Naruto. "The two of them started swimming for the rock as a fast as they could. The rock looked up at them, and started to swim away. Alas, it was not a rock but a turtle. They swam after it anyway, yelling insults at each other.
"Ha! You're so slow you can't even keep up with a turtle!"
"Oh yeah? Look who's talking! You're even slower than I am!" lee looked over at them to see what they where doing.
"Turtle sensei!" he yelled. "What are you doing here! NOO! Don't swim away!" he leapt in after the turtle. The girls were mostly floating around, watching them.
"How long do you think it takes Sasuke and Naruto to figure out they're swimming after a turtle?" asked Ino.
"Could take a while." said Mika. "Wanna just go do something else while we wait?" The group got out of the water, going off to do various stuff, while the boys chased the turtle around the lake.
"Hey! Wait! Get me out of here! Really! Help! Hello?" yelled Gaara at their retreating backs. "I still can't swim! Help? Damn."
