I decided that since I made you wait so long I'd give you another chapter. :) I hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: Yatta, yatta, yatta... I don't own Naruto!
Claimer: I do own the plot line and everything not directly conected with the manga and anime.
(With Naruto and Hinata:)
"Yes! Dattebaeyo!" Naruto shouted as the beanbag he threw knocked over the final tin can.
"Nicely done sir." The vendor congratulated him. "Which prize would you like?"
Naruto looked about at the different stuffed animals. "That one." He said, pointing to a large, white, Siberian tiger.
The vendor handed it to him and Naruto turned to and handed it to Hinata. "Here. It's for you." he murmured, suddenly very shy.
Hinata looked at the tiger, then back at him in surprise. A smile slowly spread over her face. "Thank you Naruto, that's very sweet of you."
He grinned revealing a cute dimple. "I-I want to thank you for buying me and getting me out of that place." he whispered.
She smiled again. "You're quite welcome Naruto. I was glad to do it." she held out her hand to him. "What say you and I go and get some ramen?"
Naruto's eyes lit up and his shy demeanor disappeared. "Yahoo! Ramen!!!!!"
(With Sasuke and Sakura:)
Sasuke looked uncertainly at the boat in the shape of a hollowed out log with two seats. Sakura noticed his apprehensive expression and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. It's attached to a track under the water so it won't tip over." She climbed in and sat down in the back seat
Sasuke glanced back at the log not at all appearing too certain.
Sakura sighed. "Trust me on this Sasuke. I've been on this thing thousands of times and it's never tipped over."
Sasuke hesitated but then climbed over the side and sank down into the front seat. The ride started and the log began to move down the narrow canal. While Sakura smiled and looked about, Sasuke sat rigidly, clutching the sides of the log with crippling strength. The log went into a dark tunnel and up a steep incline. Abruptly, it began to pick up speed. Sasuke gapped as they shot out of the tunnel and down what resembled a steep waterfall. Sasuke felt his heart leap into his throat, as they seemed to be freefalling down the sharp descent. He felt Sakura's arms go around his mid section as she shouted, "Yaaaaahooooo!"
They reached the bottom and hit the water with a resounding, Splash!!!!!
Sasuke gasped as the cold water hit him, completely soaking him from head to toe. Turning he saw Sakura. She was soaked to the skin, with her hair plastered to her forehead, grinning from ear to ear. She began to giggle uncontrollably at the stunned look on his face. Her giggle soon developed into a contagious, silvery laugh. Sasuke found himself on the verge of smiling himself. He stood and helped Sakura out of the log and up, onto the sidewalk.
Sakura smiled up at him. "So? How did you like that?"
He shook his head at her. "You people are crazy!"
She grinned. "Yep!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Oh come on!" she elbowed him lightly. "Admit it, you had fun didn't you?!"
He looked away. "Hn."
She grinned. "Alright, you need to lighten up… how about some cotton candy!"
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What's that?"
She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards a vendor.
(Three minutes later…)
Sasuke doubtfully eyed the fluffy clump of pink cotton that Sakura held out to him.
"Come on Sasuke." She urged. "Just try it for heaven sakes. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it."
Sasuke sighed and, taking a small piece of the stuff from her outstretched hand, took a tiny bite. His expression went from one of skepticism to one of amazement in point-five seconds.
Sakura started to laugh uncontrollably at the expression on his face.
He shot her a puzzled look. "What?"
She took a few gasping breaths to calm herself down. "Just the look on your face. You looked like you were about to have a heart attack."
He quirked an eyebrow at this statement. "Right."
She rolled her eyes. "Do you ever say more than one word at a time."
"…"
"Oh! Great! That's so much better!" she exclaimed in sarcasm.
He smirked slightly. The closest he ever got to a smile.
Sakura glanced at her watch. "We've still got time for a couple more rides before we have to go meet up with the others." She mused. "Which ride should we go on next?" Sasuke shrugged. Sakura shot him an exasperated look. "Will you drop the whole 'I don't care what happens to me' attitude and just pick a ride already?" she snapped.
Sasuke blinked. This girl certainly was confusing. All his other owners would never have given him the choice in any situation; no they made every decision for him. But not this girl, she actually seemed to want him to make choices for himself.
He gazed at her in silent bewilderment for several moments before hesitantly lifting his hand and pointing to a ride entitled, "Rapid Mountain Blast" a ride that greatly resembled the "Matter Horn" ride in Disney Land. Sakura smiled. "Okay, that's a great one; it's really fast!" She grabbed his hand and hauled him off to get in line…
The ten teens sat at a picnic table, munching on hotdogs, corndogs, pizza and pretzels. Naruto swallowed the final piece of his corndog, which had been smothered in ketchup and mustard. Sasuke and Neji watched in disgust as he wolfed it down. Gaara just shook his head and Shikamaru ignored his friend's repulsive eating habits completely. The girls just smiled and ate their own meals while quietly conversing amongst themselves.
"Are you guys finished?" Ino inquired after a while.
The young men nodded and Azami grinned and pumped her fist into the air. "Alright! Bumper Cars!" The girls cheered and pulled the boys off towards the other end of the park. The boys, having given up on trying to anticipate their mistresses' movements, followed without question.
Neji buckled himself into the bumper car. He really wasn't sure why this was a ride. Tenten had said that the whole point of this ride was to ram into the people around him. Weird. He shrugged and glanced over at Sasuke. Said boy was listening to Sakura's instructions on how to play. He nodded and Sakura left to find her own car.
Ding! Ding! Ding! The bell sounded and the ride began.
Naruto drove around like a crazy person ramming into everyone in his sight. Gaara and Neji drove normally, just ramming the cars around them. Sasuke actually seemed to be enjoying this ride; it gave him a way to let out some of his frustrations. Even Shikamaru showed surprising interest.
Suddenly, someone hit Gaara, causing him to lose control of his car and go careening Naruto who was driving so fast that his car started to spin. The two of them crashed into Tenten, Azami and Hinata. The five boys froze. Uh oh!
But much to their surprise, the girls burst out laughing hysterically. "I'm going to get you for that one Gaara!" Tenten called as she rammed him back.
Gaara looked confused. "Go on Gaara! Get her back!" Sakura urged. Gaara glanced at Azami who was still giggling. "Go Gaara! Ram Tenten!" She called out.
Gaara shook his head in confusion. These girls were really weird. He rammed his car into Tenten's who laughed and in turn rammed into Azami.
These girls must have taken some form of laughing gas! Sasuke thought as the sisters squealed and giggled while ramming one another's cars.
They had so much fun that they rode the bumper cars until the park closed for the night.
Okay so I myself didn't really like this chapter too well. I hope to do better on the next.
And as usual, reviews are appreciated. I'll try to update again soon.
