Okay, this one is REALLY short, I know, but it's only short because I have a bunch of other updates and I just updated this on Wednesday, okay? Okay.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Should we tell the guys what that Schwarzenegger imposter's real plan is?" Tenten asked.
"And miss out on all the fun?" Nori said. "Nah."
In the dumpster, the boys were getting a little claustrophobic.
"Can you move your foot?" Sasuke said, annoyed.
"Sorry."
"Okay, I've had enough of this," Neji said, jumping out of the dumpster and shaking himself off as best as he could. "This is stupid."
"Neji! Get back in here or the valued customer will kill you!" Lee exclaimed.
"I'm not doing this anymore," Neji said stubbornly.
"You're right," Gaara said, getting out as well.
"Gaara!"
"No," Gaara said. "Seriously, guys. Do you think that man will actually attempt to murder us at our school?"
"Yes," said everyone except for Shino.
"He'd have to go to jail," Shino said. "And I'm not staying in that dumpster any longer." He got out.
"Fine, but don't come crawling to us when you get pummeled into the ground," Kiba said.
"Don't worry about me," Shino said.
The three shook their heads and left.
"Those guys are goners," Naruto said.
GIRLS
"Neji? Gaara? Shino?" Nori said. "What're you guys doing out here?"
The other girls came over. "Ugh! You guys stink!" said a girl, holding her nose. The others held their noses.
"We figured it was another prank, having that guy say that we'd have to pay," Gaara said. "He wasn't really going to kill us. That's just drastic."
"No it wasn't," Sakura said. "You guys have to pay."
"It wasn't funny the first time and it isn't funny now," Neji said.
"Where are the other guys then?" Ino asked.
"They're still in the dumpster," Shino said.
"Sasuke-kun's still in there?" Ino said, horrified.
"Yeah," the boys answered.
"Nori, we have to stop now," Sakura whispered. "I mean, isn't this enough? We got them into the dumpster and now they have to pay that scary man. We've hardly raised enough money, and we need to get back to work."
"Fine, fine," Nori sighed. She turned to the guys. "Okay, the first thing I suggest you do is take a shower. Apparently, you reek. And second, that man who owns the car that you guys messed up said that you guys had to pay him. Not pay. Okay?"
"What?" the boys said.
"Take a shower—"
"We heard that part," Gaara interrupted. "You said that we had to…pay?"
"Yep," Nori said.
"We don't have enough money for that!" Neji exclaimed.
The girls shrugged.
"You girls are gonna help us raise that much money," Gaara said, pointing a finger in their direction. "And you're gonna tell the other guys about your little joke."
"You want us to help more?" Nori said.
The three boys glared at her. Shino, Neji, and Gaara…glaring at you. You would be very intimidated.
"All right," Nori said. "Tenten, you and the other girls help out these guys, okay? Hinata, you come with me to convince the boys to end their dumpster diving."
The girls nodded.
She and Hinata walked behind the school and knocked on the dumpster.
"We surrender!" came Naruto as he popped out of the dumpster with his hands up.
"Naruto, shut up," Sasuke said. He looked down. "Its just the girls."
"Sasuke, we need to tell you something," Nori said.
"What?" Sasuke snapped.
"You tell him, Hinata," Nori said. "I don't feel like talking to a jerk."
"O-Okay…W-When the man s-said that y-you h-had to p-pay, h-he m-meant that y-you actually h-had to pay him…" Hinata said quietly.
"What?" Sasuke said. "I don't understand you."
"What are you, deaf?" Kiba said. "She said the guy only wants us to pay for his car!"
"Oh."
"Is this a trick?" Naruto asked.
"No," the two replied.
"I wouldn't put it against them," Sasuke said, narrowing his eyes.
"Sasuke, stop being paranoid and get out," Nori said. "Unless you wanna smell like tuna surprise for the rest of your life."
"I-If you want, w-we could g-get the o-other b-boys," Hinata said.
"I bet those guys are in on it too!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Th-They aren't…" Hinata said.
"I believe them!" Lee exclaimed, hopping out of the dumpster. "This wasn't much of a challenge anyway!"
"Bushy Brows!" Naruto shouted.
"If you all want to stay in there, fine with me!" Lee said, walking off. "I will help with the fundraiser!"
The many other boys started whispering among themselves.
"Everybody shut up," Sasuke ordered.
"What're you, the head honcho?" a boy asked.
"Yeah! I'm going with the girls on this one!" said another.
The dumpster slowly emptied. There was only Sasuke, Naruto, and Kiba left.
"Well guys?" Nori said. "How 'bout it?"
"We're not coming out," Sasuke said.
"Uh, what he said," Naruto said uncertainly.
"Suit yourselves. C'mon, Hinata," Nori said.
The girls walked off.
GIRLS & BOYS
"The man left for lunch," Sakura reported. "I expect he'd eat a lot, so he may not be back for a while. He's also meeting his friends at the deli and he's going to collect the money once he's done."
"Okay, so we need to clean all these cars in thirty minutes," Nori said. "And raise a lot of money. How much do we have from when we weren't pranking each other?"
"…Ten dollars," Ino said.
Everyone groaned.
"Let's get started then," Gaara said.
At five dollars a car, the group wasn't doing so well. They hadn't earned as much as they thought they would, and it definitely wasn't enough for a paint job. (A/N: I have no idea how much a paint job costs. Let's just SAY it costs a lot. Sorry.)
"We don't…have enough," Tenten said, faltered.
"Great," Neji said. "Just great!"
"How much money do we need now?" Shino asked.
"Like, twenty bucks," Nori answered.
"What about that tip that Mr. Akimichi gave us?" Shino said.
"That's right!" Gaara said, snapping his fingers. "Sasuke has it."
"He tipped you a twenty?" Tenten said in disbelief.
"He uh, bought the candy we had on us," Neji said.
"Oh."
"We have to get Sasuke, then," Sakura said, happy that she'd be able to see Sasuke.
"How are we gonna get him to give us the money?" Chouji asked.
"I have a plan," Shikamaru said.
IN THE DUMPSTER…
"Can we get out now?" Naruto groaned.
"No," Sasuke said. "Unless you wanna get killed."
"But—"
"I SAID NO!"
"I think he's lost it," Kiba whispered to Naruto.
"Yeah…"
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke peered over the side of the dumpster. "WHAT?"
"Er…" Gaara said. "We need that twenty Mr. Akimichi gave us."
"WHY?"
"Stop acting crazy!" Nori exclaimed. "We're trying to save your life!"
"I CAN SAVE MY OWN LIFE!"
"He's delusional," Tenten whispered. "I think the smell might've gotten to him."
"Sasuke, the guy wants us to pay," Neji said patiently. "So pay up."
"NEVER!"
"Your plan isn't working, Shikamaru," Ino muttered. "What're we going to do now?"
"Okay, Plan B," Shikamaru said. "GRAB HIM!"
"WHAT!"
The boys jumped into the dumpster and grabbed Sasuke, tossing him out. The girls caught him.
"LEMME GO!"
"Finally," Naruto said, stepping out of the dumpster.
"Man, this smell is gonna last forever…" Kiba said sadly.
"GIMME BACK MY TWENTY!" Sasuke screamed.
"Sorry, pal," Neji said, holding the twenty dollars out of Sasuke's reach.
"Maybe we should call his brother…" Ino said. "To pick him up. Sasuke looks a little unlike himself."
"You think?" said everyone.
"I'll do it," said some random girl who had a cell phone.
"Shouldn't we tell the principal or something? You know, since he's leaving and all," said another concerned person.
"No. It's already two o'clock," said someone with a watch.
"Two o'clock!" Tenten exclaimed. "That customer should be back any second now!"
Everyone quickly ran over to the front of the school. My, they were having LOTS of exercise today.
The buff customer was waiting in the parking lot and everyone stopped and smiled.
"Hello," said everyone.
"Where's the money?" he said toughly.
"Over here, sir," Sakura said nervously, handing him the bucket of the fundraising money.
He looked in it. "Okay, you're debt is paid."
Everyone cheered.
"It is very good that you've paid up and learned a lesson," the man said. "DON'T DO IT AGAIN!" and he left in his pink car.
"MY TWENTY!" Sasuke bawled.
"Oh Sasuke, you're sick…" Sakura said sadly.
Suddenly, Itachi pulled up into the driveway. "Where's my brother?"
Everyone pointed to Sasuke who was lying on the ground.
"Foolish little brother…" he grumbled. "What happened?"
"Long story," said everyone.
Itachi shrugged. "Whatever. He's going in the back of the truck. I'm not gonna have him ruin my leather with his smell."
The kids shrugged and dumped Sasuke into the back of the truck. He groaned.
"Man, what've you been doing, fool?" Itachi muttered. "Rolling around in garbage?"
"Well, I guess we did pretty good today," Nori said. "Don't you think so?"
"No," said everyone.
"We lost all the money," Ino said. "How good is that?"
"And we smell," Naruto added.
"Not to mention we just wasted a bunch of cleaning supplies," Chouji said.
"And time," Shikamaru said.
A half hour later, the cars were taken by their happy customers. The kids had managed to make a few tips. The teachers had returned from whatever they were doing before.
"So, how much did you kids make?" Kakashi asked.
"Uh…" everyone said. Naruto held out their tips.
"Five dollars…" Kurenai said.
"In change…" Gai said.
"Some fundraiser," Asuma mumbled.
"Anyway," Kakashi said, lightening up the mood. "A few weeks from now, we'll have a snow-shoe hike up a mountain. Won't that be fun?"
"NO!" said the students.
"Here are your permission slips!" Gai exclaimed, throwing pieces up paper in the air. "Turn them in on Monday! Have a nice weekend!"
I'm really busy! R&R please!
