I had to rewrite this chapter because SOMEONE deleted my story on Microsoft! I was SO ANGRY! But now I'm cool now. Icy chill. Yep. Except about the fact that I only got a few reviews...that made me sort of sad...but it's all right. At least I'm managing to update, right? Yeah... Anyway, to the people who DO review me, thanks SO much! Much appreciated!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"We need to get them back," Sakura said angrily. "Those guys really messed up my hair!"
"Not to mention their idiotic jerks," Tenten said.
"Oh we'll get our revenge," Nori said darkly. "I have a plan."
"Naruto!"
Naruto's ears twitched as he heard his name being called by Sakura. He zipped over quickly. "Yes Sakura-chan?"
"Naruto, I need your boyish manliness to do something for me," Sakura said, batting her eyelashes.
"WHAT?" Lee shouted from the boys' side.
"What do you need me to do, Sakura?" he asked eagerly, ignoring Lee.
"Well…"
"Argh! Nasty!" Nori screamed from a car. "There's something moving in the trunk! It's alive!"
"Where? Where?" Naruto shouted, sticking his head in the trunk. "I don't see anything! What is it?"
"You!" Nori said, pushing him into the trunk.
"Hey!"
Tenten and Ino slammed the trunk over Naruto's bewildered self and high-fived each other.
Tenten laughed and leaned on the trunk. "Now you stay in there for two hours and think of what you and the other guys did."
A muffled voice said, "Why do I have to pay for the other guys too?"
"Hm…he's right," Nori said.
"We'll think of something. But how long do you think the boys will wait until the notice Naruto's missing?" Ino giggled.
"Hey…" Kiba said, coming over. "Did you just lock Naruto in the trunk of that car?"
"No we didn't," the girls chimed.
"Oh. Okay. So anyway, Lee wanted me to talk to you guys about manliness and—"
"Er, Sakura was just being delusional!" Ino said, patting Sakura on the back. "She knows that Naruto isn't manly."
"Okay then," Kiba said. He went back over to the boys' side.
"It's a good thing Kiba's as smart as Naruto," Nori said, chuckling a little.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted.
"Sakura!" Lee exclaimed. "Kiba said you were delusional! What has happened?"
"Fuzzy Eyebrows, help!" Naruto shouted from the trunk.
"What was that?" Lee asked.
"N-Nothing!" Sakura exclaimed. "That was nothing! I'm not delusional, now! You can go away!"
"Did you just lock Naruto in the trunk of that car?" Lee asked.
"Uh…no we didn't," Sakura tried.
"All right. Whatever you say, Sakura!" Lee exclaimed as he frolicked back to the boys' side.
"That was too close," Tenten said. "I thought for sure that Lee would be smart enough to figure out Naruto was in the trunk. Oh well."
A small crying sound came from the trunk.
"Shut up, Naruto," Sakura said, pounding on the trunk.
BOYS
"I'm pretty sure when the girls said they didn't lock Naruto in the trunk, they did," Neji said.
"Oh…" Lee said in disappointment. "I WAS TRICKED?"
"I think it's that 'whatever-girls-say-are-the-opposite-of-what-they-feel' thing," Kiba said.
"What're we gonna do?" Shino asked.
"We need to get back at them," Sasuke said, punching his hand. "They'll pay for what they did."
The other boys stared at him. "It's Naruto."
"I know that, but soon they'll think they can take us all on. First they start with Naruto, then they'll go for Kiba or something, and then they'll work they're way up to me!"
"What makes you so special?" Neji asked.
"I'm Sasuke," Sasuke said as if that answer would satisfy Neji. Which it totally didn't. "Any ideas?"
"I have one," Gaara said.
GIRLS
"We got Naruto, so we can get the other guys somehow," Nori said.
"Except for Sasuke, he's too good," Sakura said.
"…Right…"
"B-But what a-about the f-fundraiser?" Hinata asked timidly.
"She's right," Nori said. "And stop doing that Hinata! We still have to get money or else when the teachers come back they'll find out we didn't do a thing. Until I think of something, let's just stay at our posts."
It seemed that she had taken it upon herself to be the leader. It wasn't like anyone was going to argue.
"Okay!"
Ino and Sakura went back to washing a car.
"Ew…this is so gross," Sakura said.
"We're almost done," Ino said. "Argh! Did I just break a nail?"
"Face it, we aren't meant for this kind of work…" Sakura said.
"No, we are," Ino said. "We just have to…be able to clean this…without ruining our appearances. No biggie."
"Hey."
"SASUKE-KUN!" Ino and Sakura exclaimed, whirling around to face Sasuke who kind of jumped at how fast they did.
"What are you doing here Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked.
"He obviously came over to ask me on a date!" Sakura exclaimed. "Right?"
"No."
"Then it must be me!" Ino said.
"No."
"Then what?" the girls asked.
"Uh…" Crap, Gaara didn't tell me what to say!
BOYS
"He's going down," Gaara said, watching Sasuke's performance. "He needs back-up. Lee?"
"Roger!"
GIRLS
"OH SAKURA!"
"Oh no," Sakura said, knowing that she couldn't hide since Lee had already spotted her.
Lee came sliding down on his knees. He would have definitely skinned them on the pavement if he wasn't wearing jeans. "Sakura-chan! Please go out with me!"
"Lee, I already told you!" Sakura said as politely as she could. "We're just friends. Nothing more! Besides, Sasuke was about to—"
"Why?"
"I just can't go out with—"
"Why?"
"Lee, stop—"
"WHY?"
Sakura sighed. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Meanwhile, Shikamaru and Kiba had made their way unnoticed by Sakura and Ino to the key rack where the keys hung, labeled with the car and customer's name neatly underneath the hook.
"So which one is it?" Kiba whispered to Shikamaru.
"I don't know," Shikamaru shrugged. "I don't know the customer's name and he's got a popular car. Just take all of the ones with that label."
"Okay…" Kiba took a handful of keys and they sneaked to the car that Naruto was in. He took a key and tried to open the trunk. "Nope…no…nuh-uh…"
In the trunk, Naruto was in fetal position wallowing in self-pity. "I-I've been here for more than two hours, I just know it! What if they girls forgot about me? I'll…never…be able…to…eat…RAMEN EVER AGAIN!"
"Shut up!" came Kiba's hissing voice.
"Kiba? Kiba, is that you?"
"And me," Shikamaru said. "Stop being so loud. We don't want the girls to hear."
"Are you helping me out?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, what does it look like?" Kiba said, annoyed.
"It looks like your trying to and failing," Naruto said.
"You know, we could just leave you here," Shikamaru said.
"…I'll be quiet now…"
"Gotcha!" Kiba exclaimed. The trunk popped open and Naruto saw the light.
"YEAH!" Naruto shouted, grabbing Shikamaru and Kiba. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"
"Shut up!" Kiba and Shikamaru said, gasping for breath.
"Heh…sorry," Naruto said, letting go.
"Okay, phase one, complete," Shikamaru said. "Phase two…"
"Well, it's been…nice…talking to you," Sasuke said, wincing.
"Come to see me again any time, Sasuke!" Ino said, giggling.
"Until we meet again, Sakura!"
"Whatever, Lee."
The boys left.
"Sakura, Ino," Hinata said softly. She pointed behind them. "Y-Your car…"
The girls turned their attention to their car and squeaked. "W-What? What is this?"
The car that was half-way clean was now covered in mud, sludge, leaves, gravel…soda…and flyers that read: BOYS RULE!
"I suppose you didn't clean my car…" said the customer of the car who shall not be named at this moment.
"Uh…" Sakura and Ino said.
"Looks like you girls didn't do such a great job, huh?" Kiba said as he, Shikamaru and Naruto walked over.
"We'll gladlyclean this car for you in half the time, Mr. Akimichi," Shikamaru said. "You guys…" Sakura said angrily.
"And we have candy!" Naruto added.
Everyone stared at Naruto.
"Just trying to win him over…" Naruto mumbled.
"CANDY!" the customer who was Chouji's dad exclaimed. "Sure!" He ran over to the boys' side on his quest for candy.
"You did that on purpose!" Ino shouted.
"Hey, we got you back for taking Naruto hostage," Kiba said.
"Though I don't know how a bunch of girls got to Naruto," Shikamaru sighed.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted.
"You guys are so…ARGH!" Sakura exclaimed.
"See you later, ladies," Kiba laughed as he and the boys left the girls' side.
"What the heck?" Nori exclaimed as she walked over. "What happened? How could you let this happen?"
"Looks like the boys happened," Tenten said, peeling off a flyer that was stuck with mud and wincing. "'Boys rule'?"
"They most certainly do not!" Nori exclaimed, grabbing the flyer from Tenten and crumpling it up. "We need to come up with something much worse than this!"
"But what?" Sakura asked.
Suddenly, a huge monster truck with flames painted on the sides holding a matching huge man came rumbling into the parking lot and into the boys' side.
The girls exchanged devious glances. "Perfect." Sakura and Ino left to the Chemistry Lab, Nori retrieved a bucket, and Tenten got the hose ready.
BOYS
The boys all looked up timidly at the big man who peered down at them. He was buff and had many noticeable tattoos of skulls. All except one that was a heart with the word MOM written respectively. Not to mention he looked like an Arnold Schwarzenegger replica.
"Listen up, pretty boys," the man said, getting out of his truck in all his leather and boots glory. "Clean up my baby and whatever you do, don't ruin my paint job, got it man? If you do, we'll you're gonna pay, man."
"Yes sir," the boys said in unison.
"Good," the man said, leaving the parking lot and walking across the street to a convenient deli.
"Okay, don't screw this up," Sasuke said to everyone. "Naruto, we're a bucket short. Go get one."
"FINE Sasuke!" Naruto pouted. "But that doesn't mean that you're the boss or anything!"
He walked over to the buckets that had mysteriously disappeared…except for…ONE. It was already filled with soapy what with bubbles decorating the surface. He shrugged and took the bucket.
"Here you go, you're majesty!"
All the boys reached in with sponges and started to clean the truck. A few minutes later, it was covered in bubbles. Sasuke took the hose and started hosing the truck off while the other boys washed their hands under a faucet.
"Hey…" Shino said, looking at his now pink hands. "What…?"
"What the heck!" came Kiba's and Sasuke's voices from the car.
The boys rushed over and gaped at the car. "Uh oh…" The car that used to be a manly crimson was now sparkly pink and girly.
"Hey guys," came Nori's voice.
The girls had come over to gaze lovingly at their creation.
"Nice paint job," Tenten smiled.
"And isn't that your customer over there?" Nori said, pointing behind them.
She was right. The figure of Arnold Schwarzenegger was stomping over to the parking lot. The girls ran for cover as the boys stood there nervously, scared out of their wits.
"You…What did you do…to my baby?" the man said, staring at the car. He angrily turned to where the boys SHOULD'VE been standing, but they weren't. "Hey…where'd those boys go?"
GIRLS
"You gotta help us!" Naruto shouted, clinging onto Nori's leg.
"And why should we do that?" Tenten asked.
"Because it was your faults that we're in this mess!" Sasuke exclaimed.
"Fine," Nori sighed. "But on one condition."
You have got to be kidding me," Neji said.
"Hide here, it's the only place that Schwarzenegger guy won't find you," Nori said.
The group was at the back of the school.
"I am not jumping into a dumpster," Sasuke said.
"What kind of dumpster is it?" Chouji asked.
"I think its where they throw out the school lunches…" Ino said.
Chouji shrugged.
"I don't see how this would make a difference," Shikamaru said. "Its still troublesome."
"H-He's coming this way!" Hinata warned from the corner of the school.
"I value my life!" Kiba exclaimed, diving in. His head popped of the trash. "C'mon guys! What's a little dumpster diving?"
"Kiba, that dumpster's filthy," Shino said. "We aren't low-class."
"You know, Shino," Kiba said. "You really bug me." He cracked up. "Get it, Shino? Huh? Bug?"
"Like I've never heard that one before," Shino said.
"That's it! That guy really scares me! Move over, Kiba!" Naruto exclaimed, following Kiba's lead.
"It is a challenge!" Lee declared, diving in.
After a short afterthought, the other boys hopped in as well.
"Now just stay there until he leaves," Sakura said.
"We'll get you when he does," Ino added.
The girls left.
"This stinks."
"Shut up."
GIRLS
The man stopped the girls who were walking around the corner. "Hey girlies," he said. "Have you seen a group of boys?"
"No," the girls said in unison.
"Well, if you see them, tell them that they owe me a lot of money for messing up my paint job," he said.
"Will do."
He walked to the back of the school and opened up his cell phone. "Hey, it's me. I need a new paint job. A bunch of boys screwed it up. Yeah. They're gonna pay. So you'll come over? Good. Later."
He left to go wait out for his "friends".
Inside the dumpster, the boys were shaking in their boots.
"What did he mean by pay?" Lee said timidly.
"We are so screwed," Naruto said, sounding like he was about to cry.
Yay! Cliffie!Reviewers: BOO! Sigh...
PLEASE R&R! I'm begging!
