A/N: This chapter is pretty short, but I think the scene after this one is too different to be in the same chapter. But that just means it goes up sooner! Actually, for awhile I had taken this scene out altogether, jumping straight into the next one. But when I was looking back over everything I enjoyed the verbal battle too much to leave it out, despite the fact that it isn't completely necessary. So, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! And as a warning, the next chap needs a lot of editing so it will take longer to put up.

Thanks so much for the kind reviews! They are greatly appriciated! Of couse constructive criticism is as well :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the idea behind Freaky Friday... and I didn't in the last chapter either (since I apparently forgot to mention that...)

Chapter 3: There's a difference?

Well isn't this a familiar scene," Kakashi grinned, as he appeared from what had been empty space only moments earlier.

"You're late!" two voices yelled in response as they pointed accusatory fingers at their teacher.

"Ah. Sorry, sorry. I was…" Kakashi abruptly stopped his usual reply when he realized the voices had not belonged to Sakura and Naruto, like usual, but to Sakura and Sasuke. He raised his eyebrow intrigued.

"I… mean…" Naruto stammered as he became aware of his mistake.

"Idiot," Sasuke grumbled under his breath. "So much for being easy." He let out a heavy sigh and got up.

"Sasuke and I are just impatient because yesterday we thought of a really cool training routine we want to try," Sasuke said as excitedly as possible in an attempt to cover up Naruto mistake. "So, can we please train on our own today, Kakashi-sensei? Me and Sasuke are really excited about it! That's why Sasuke is acting loud and obnoxious, just like I do every day of my life."

"Y-Yea," Naruto stammered, as he attempted to regain his 'I-don't-give-a-shit' appearance, but not before giving Sasuke a quick glare. "I'm also not feeling too well so I want to hurry and get the training over with, since I am so great that I don't need it anyway."

Sasuke hated to admit it, but this whole situation was starting to get to him, especially since Naruto seemed to somehow be winning their verbal battle. Furthermore, his statements were just blatantly out of character. Sure, he obviously needed training less than either Naruto or Sakura, but he still trained hard everyday, and considered it to be very important. There was no way he would actually say that.

"You're not felling well!?" Sakura quickly cut in, ignoring the utter ridiculousness of the last half of Naruto's statement. She rushed over to him and gently placed her hand on his forehead.

Naruto blushed, frozen in place. Sasuke felt sick. First of all, it pissed him off to see Naruto blushing with his face. If it had actually been him he would have quickly brushed her hand away and then said, 'It's nothing,' rather than looking like a lovesick idiot. Secondly, Sasuke had always thought that Sakura made up for what she lacked in strength with her intelligence, and perception. But not only did she seem to believe their painfully transparent lies, she was treating the "fake" Sasuke the same as she always did. It was as if…

She really doesn't notice the difference. At all… Sasuke shook his head as if attempting to shake free from his train of thought. So? That was the plan. It's a good thing she doesn't notice.

Kakashi, who had been silently watching this whole time, couldn't decide if he was more stunned or entertained. He had come to know the trio very well, and none of what was going on made any sense. Kakashi's eyes widened.

That is unless they somehow…

"Alright. I have some reading I want to get to anyway. So, you all have the day off. Enjoy!"

Kakashi wasn't sure he could even believe his own theory, but he decided not to press them for now. Plus if they were still like this tomorrow he could enjoy another entertaining display.


A/N: Short but sweet! (I hope...) Thanks for reading! Please review if you have time! XD
