"You ever wonder why we're all not gay?" Kisame asked out of nowhere.
"Um, I'm sorry what the hell did you just say?" Zetsu asked seemingly perturbed by Kisame's offbeat question.
"Seriously, seriously think about this…we're all guys. We have lived together for how long now? We've all had plenty of time to be gay since we've lived with each other for so freaking long….we've had plenty of time to be gay….WHY AREN'T WE GAY!?" Kisame tried to logic through all this.
"Kisame…between Deidara, Itachi Lola and now you…we have screamed some seriously weird phrases throughout the passenger area of this plane….it's only a matter of time before we get banned from flying America West all together….just like the time Hidan got banned from Waffle House for swearing at a bunch of lumberjacks. And to answer your question..I honest to god don't know because every word you said makes absolute perfect sense! Wow….Kisame….we're not gay…who would have thought!" Zetsu said quite intrigued by this whole conversation. However all the happy hypothesizing was rudely interrupted by none other than Tobi's crammed luggage spewing out of the overhead storage and spilling out into the aisle. A Play-Doh barber shop, silly putty, magic eight ball, ping pong paddles, swim fins, the game Hungry Hippos, two Akatsuki robes and the Baltimore area newspaper went flying into the aisle. Zetsu glared angrily at Tobi because Zetsu had ordered that Tobi not take half of the stuff that had just gotten spilled everywhere.
"Um…..I can get that!" Tobi insisted getting ready to get out of his seat even though the fasten seatbelts sign was shining it's bright orange.
"No, no, no…Tobi…the damage is done…you messed up…and now your crap is rolling down the aisle to first class."
"But I…." Tobi started.
"TOBI! This plane lands in 20 minutes…just let your shit get in everyone's way until we can collect it without getting some kind of airline fine for getting out of our seats.
"Oooooh Dana look! A magical eight ball!" Marisol said reaching under her seat and picking up Tobi's magic eight ball that had rolled forward 8 aisles. "Oh! Let's ask it something! Oooh mystical, magical eight ball…will me and Dana be able to get in the pool before 11:30 tonight?" Marisol shook the eight ball wildly. She gasped. "Yes, definitely!"
"My turn! My turn, yeah! Dana said excitedly. "Oh great and powerful knows everything magic trick eight ball….How much shopping will me and Marisol be able to do in Las Vegas, yeah?" Dana shook the eight ball. "Ask again later… Whoa…this thing is AMAZING…it like…thinks about what it's going to say, yeah!" Dana was fascinated with the magic eight ball. Of course Deidara caught sight of it.
"Oh my god, is that a magic cue ball…hey isn't that Tobi's robe out in the middle of the aisle, yeah?" Deidara questioned to no one in particular. "Oh well…dear magic pool ball! Will Itachi get any while we're in Las Vegas, yeah?" Itachi rolled his eyes at Deidara's ridiculously OBVIOUS question.
"Oh! It says don't count on it, yeah! Itachi did you piss Dana off?" Deidara asked seriously. Itachi glared at Deidara and angrily took the eight ball from him.
"Will Deidara get his face smashed in if he doesn't shut the hell up?" Itachi asked the eight ball…With certainty." Itachi handed the eight ball to Deidara who was going to obediently get rid of it. But, just as Deidara prepared to take back to Tobi….he dropped it…and it went rolling along right into first class.
Attention passengers, America West direct service to Las Vegas will be landing in approximately 10 minutes. Please keep seatbelts fastened as we prepare for landing…would the passenger in S7 please pick up the belongings that have scattered everywhere. Thank you." The airline stewardess announced. Zetsu glared at Tobi knowing that it was Tobi whom the stewardess was referring to.
"You know, I just really want to know what's going on with you. You haven't said like…4 words to me since we got on the plane." Lola asked Hidan as she tucked her laptop safely away in its case.
"Oh well….I uh….I get motion sickness easily…seriously." Hidan answered quickly.
"No you don't." Sasori insisted. "You and I drove all the way to Miami Beach reading maps and screaming at Tobi."
"Oh well…that was….." Hidan sighed. "Fine! Fine! Fine! Okay I feel guilty because OH MY GOD SASORI I WOULD FREAKING BONE YOUR WOMAN! You're right! You're right! None of us ever paid attention to the fact that Lola was so damn hot and now…. shit! God! Son of a bitch! Damn! Fucking piece of……." And Hidan's guilt induced rant continued.
"Okay, you remember how you're pretty much never flying America West? Well….it looks like I'm not either. And I'm thinking….he may wanna talk about this later…." Sasori said to Lola packing up some of the things he had unloaded from his carry-on bag.
Thank god, it wouldn't be long before all of Akatsuki would be off this plane and soon. In the airport Pein and Konan waited patiently waited for everyone else.
"So….all you do is look at me and purr." Gaara said to Princess. Things were going good back home. He had already gone through two of Lola's photo albums and now he was checking out the most recent pictures from Lola's graduation. He had also re-organized all of Sasori's clothes so that all the same colors were together…he wasn't certain if Sasori would appreciate that. Gaara had also put away all the dishes, collected all the mail, gave the cat a bath, and was now intrigued by the fact that Sasori hadn't been lying about Lola being a lawyer. He seemed to have everything under control.
Back in Las Vegas, the plane had landed and now passengers were filing off. Dana managed to hit all seated passengers again with her bag. Kisame started to panic once he got off the plane. He was convinced there was no baggage claim area and that their luggage would be gone for pretty much ever. Thank goodness for Zetsu's calming words….
"Kisame, shut up! There's always a baggage claim in airports! Now suck it up and follow Lola, Hidan and Sasori. They're going the right way." Tobi was running behind everyone as his stuff kept falling out of his arms and he lost time to stop and pick it up. Sure enough, there was Pein and Konan at baggage claim.
"Hey, how was the flight?" Pein asked Sasori.
"It was okay. As you can hear behind me Deidara and Itachi packed too much and all they do is bitch about how they can't carry it all. Hey, this is Hidan. You haven't met him yet. He's one of our good ones. This is my girl Lola. Kakuzu is on his way up here…right now it appears that he's fighting with a 70 year old woman over who found a penny on the floor first. Oh, by the way. Lola this is Konan."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Lola said as she watched for their bags.
"Hi Pein, Konan, how's it going?" Kisame said gathering up his luggage and plopping it down beside Pein.
"Hey man, Vegas is great. Konan and I have already gone to three of those shows.
"Um….is Tobi running around the conveyor belt of luggage chasing a basketball?" Konan asked. Kisame sighed.
"You know…don't get me started with Tobi." He said. After much clambering, tugging, and throwing everyone's luggage was finally located and it was time to pile into at least two cabs and head for the amazing MGM Grand Hotel and Resort Casino.
