أنا: Hello again readers! I am happy to announce that I have had over one hundred hits for my story!

IAJ- This may not seem like such a big deal for any of you 'accomplished' writers, but since this is pretty much the only thing we do for fun, we feel pretty great since someone recognized us.

أنا: Yup! All you hundred readers can feel free to leave a review for me and my alternate insomniatic personality! You don't even have to have an account on Fanfiction, you can just give feedback!

IAJ- Since we can't very well show this to our Cuban-American Language Arts teacher, we figured you guys would be happy to help.

أنا: So don't forget to REVIEW and send us tons of feedback!

*This chapter is dedicated to my mom, who I just learned got excepted into graduate school AND got her new job! :D

Warning: Yaoi

I actually asked my brother to read my last story that was only dialogue and he said that it wasn't really yaoi, but I'm still super paranoid.

I don't own Naruto.

Or a bike.

Trip.

It had been a long day.

Sakura was constantly complaining about the heat and how she was going to get a stroke, what with all of four people being jammed into her small pink convertible-top mini-cooper on one of the hottest days of the year.

Kakashi was trying (and, failing) to keep Sakura off of Naruto, who was being relentlessly pounded by the enraged pink-haired girl because he kept trying to start up road travelling songs like "Jingle Bells" and "Sixteen Tons".

The trip was from Konoha to Nadeshiko Village, and it was going to be a loooong drive. They were only five hours into this little extravaganza, when the car broke down.

"Guys, I think there's a small gas station up ahead at the next turn," Kakashi said to Naruto and Sasuke. "See if they can help us with this problem."

"Hai," They both said together.

Sasuke was happy to finally have sometime away from the meltingly hot car.

Naruto was just happy to be away from Sakura's fists.

Of course, they were both happy to be away from society in general. Away from the staring eyes of their elders who said "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!(1)"

After they had gotten around the first bend and could not longer hear Sakura screaming at Kakashi to 'fucking man up, and push the goddamn car the next few miles' Naruto quietly slipped his hand into Sasuke's and, without a word between the two, nuzzled closer to one another.

The noon-day sun had turned into an evening glow, bathing the mountains in warm yellow-orange colors that had the effect of perhaps a silent volcano erupting across the sky.

Sasuke sucked in a short gasp when Naruto pointed out the breath-taking effect that had spun into a setting sun that set the air ablaze with colors from purple to violet to velvet red and orange shades of yellow.

It was absolutely gorgeous.

Naruto squeezed Sasuke's fingers, letting go for only a second to wrap his arm around the brunette's shoulders and whip him into a powerful noogie.

"Whatcha' gapin' at, eh, Teme?" Naruto teased.

"Just…..a…pretty….sunset…Arg!" Sasuke growled as he grabbed Naruto's hand and switched the positions, taking Naruto's blonde head in between his elbow and side, ruffling the younger boy's silky hair.

"How come you have such nice hair?" The Uchiha wondered aloud as he let the other ninja up for air.

"'Spose its that green tea conditioner you got me for Christmas," Naruto replied, smacking the older boy upside his head.

"Hn. Didn't think you used anything I gave you…" Sasuke muttered as he looked at the mountains again.

"Ha! You think I don't appreciate you, don't you, you bastard?"

"Maybe if you actually used that painting kit I got you for your birthday, you and I would have a better relationship."

The blonde, knowing the joking smirk that Sasuke had planted on his face at that moment said, "Fine! When we get home I'm painting your stupid frown and THEN we'll see who's appritiating who!"

"Whom."

"YOU BASTARD!"

They snickered all the way to the gas station, hand in hand. Heart in heart.

It was a good trip.

أنا:I'm pretty freaking proud of that sunset description.

IAJ- I liked the cussing. We haven't had enough of that.

أنا: You are so odd. Anyway! Happy to see you guys comin' back for another chapter! Actually, I can't see it, per say, but I can tell be the copious amounts of reviews!

IAJ- Please just review. Otherwise she might just keep dropping the not-so-subtle hints for reviews.

أنا: When I get ten reviews total, I'll post another chapter. THERE. Now it's a threat. No reviews; no content.

IAJ-You don't mean that. You couldn't live without your writing.

أنا: WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
