Here's the next chapter! I don't know if its long enough though...oh well! The next one is longer, I promise!
And sorry things are going so slow in the romance department, I'm not all that great at that stuff andI usually keep it pretty low considering I don't know much about romance. But there WILL be some in the upcoming chapters, not to mention a dance later on.
Anyway, I've been WAY busy and school starts soon, so I'm cramming all my updates in this weekend meaning I'm typing everything up ON THE WEEKENDS. There's just not enough time in the week. Sigh.
Thanks for the reviews to everyone who actually reviewed! I love you all!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or songs and games sung and played in a car.
"On the day of the field trip, everyone had turned in their permission slips. The students WITHOUT parents of course, didn't NEED to turn them in.
"Why won't they ever give us a break?" Naruto complained to Nori, Sasuke, Sakura, and Gaara who just happened to be with him for whatever reason. "And how come we can't do normal things?"
"Like studying and tests?" Sakura asked.
"Well no…"
"I thought field trips were supposed to be enlightening," Gaara said. "Not to mention fun."
"It's a three-hour snow-shoe hike up a mountain in the bitter cold," Sasuke said. "Just how enlightening and fun will that be?"
"Beats me," Nori said. "But its better than tests, right?"
"I'd rather do a test…" Sakura sighed.
"I wouldn't," Naruto said.
Everyone looked at him. "Duh, Naruto."
"Time to go!" Kakashi announced. He and the other teachers were at the front of the room in his classroom. "We will announce the cars and who the drivers will be."
Kurenai read off the students that would be in her car. "Inuzuka Kiba, Akimichi Chouji, Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino."
"Crud," Kiba muttered. "…Girls…and Chouji…"
Sakura and Ino shot each other death glares.
"In my car is Nara Shikamaru," Asuma read.
"What a surprise," Shikamaru sighed.
"Tenten, Aburame Shino, and Uchiha Sasuke."
"Crud," Tenten said. "A bunch of boys…"
Gai whipped out a clipboard with papers…clipped…on the…board… "In MY car is…ROCK LEE!"
"YES!" Lee cheered.
"Sabaku no Gaara, Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, and Hiroshi Nori," he said, less enthusiastically.
"Great…we got the psychotic lunatic gym teacher…" Naruto groaned.
"Gai will be in the leading car," Kakashi said. "So everyone called, leave now while the rest of us prepare."
The mentioned people left as Ibiki started reading his list.
"This will be so exciting!" Lee exclaimed. "I'm going to be the first up that mountain and first there!"
"I'll be with you, Lee!" Gai added.
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
The two embraced each other.
"Er…" the others said awkwardly.
"S-Sensei, th-this is your car, r-right?" Hinata stuttered.
"WHAT?" Gai asked, cupping his hand over his ear. "I can't hear you! Oh look! My car!"
He opened the front door to his lime green car…with orange hotrod flames! "Lee! You will sit in the front next to ME!"
"Yes sir!" Lee jumped in the front.
"There are two seats in the middle and three in the back," Gai said. "I will choose who will sit where! We will sit boy-girl! Yes! I am a genius! Hinata and Naruto in the front and Gaara, Nori, and Neji in the back!"
"That is so brilliant!" Lee praised.
Hinata was happy and cheering on the inside because she got to sit next to Naruto.
The kids piled into the car and Gai started to drive.
"Do you think it's safe having Gai drive?" Nori asked.
"No," Gaara and Neji answered.
"Just checking."
Once they had gone on the road, Gai was moving at a…very slow pace.
"Gai-sensei, exactly why are we moving so slowly?" Nori asked politely.
"I can't ignore the speed limit!" Gai exclaimed.
"The speed limit is thirty-five," Neji said, pointing to a sign that said the speed limit.
"And you're going at…ten miles per hour…" Naruto said, leaning over.
"Better to be safe than sorry!"
"Right, Gai-sensei!"
Gaara growled. "How long is this trip supposed to be?"'
"Two hours," Nori answered.
"Great…"
"Hey, how about a song?" Gai said.
"Great idea!" Lee exclaimed. "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!" Lee clapped his hands and so did Gai.
The car swerved to the left.
"HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" everyone shouted.
"I can't help it if I'm happy!" Gai exclaimed as if he hadn't almost sent the students to their certain doom.
"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!"
CLAP. CLAP.
"ARGH!"
MEANWHILE IN KURENAI'S CAR…
Kiba sat pouting in the back of the car sitting in the window seat next to Chouji who was next to Ino. "This sucks so much."
"Watch your language, young man!" Kurenai scolded.
Kiba sighed and sank lower in his chair. "Hey, can one of you guys move over or something?"
"By one of you guys you mean Chouji, right?" Ino said. "I'm practically against the wall!"
"Sorry," Chouji said, scooting over.
"Move, Chouji!" Ino exclaimed. "I need some room!"
"Sorry!"
"Move it!" Kiba shouted.
"No! You have lots of room!" Ino exclaimed. "I need my space!"
"Yeah right, you have a whole bunch of space!"
"BE QUIET!" Kurenai shouted.
"Tell them to move, sensei!" Ino shouted.
"Move, you two! A girl needs her space," Kurenai said.
"You are so sexist…" Kiba muttered.
"What was that?"
"I'm moving," Kiba said, moving over.
"That's what I thought."
"I wonder what Sasuke-kun is thinking right now…" Sakura said suddenly.
"I bet he's thinking that he wants to be with me," Ino said.
"You wish, you pig," Sakura said.
"No, I know!" Ino insisted.
"I bet Tenten thinks she's so cool because she's the only girl in the car with Sasuke!" Sakura said, crossing her arms.
"I know, she is so lucky!"
"I don't think Tenten even likes Sasuke," Chouji said, putting his two cents into the conversation.
"What do you know, Chouji?" Ino and Sakura said at the same time.
"Sorry…"
Kiba sighed. He was so sick of girl talk.
WITH ASUMA'S CAR…
"Why do we have to go on such a tedious field trip anyway?" Shikamaru groaned.
"Shikamaru, you of all people should know that physical fitness is just as important as mental fitness!" Asuma said.
Shikamaru sighed. "It's so troublesome…I don't want to hike up a mountain for no reason…"
"You're just not good enough," Sasuke said. "I doubt you'll make it up that mountain." And just because he felt like it, he turned to Tenten and said, "You probably won't make it either."
"What was that?" Tenten demanded. "Why do you say that?"
"Because girls have less endurance than guys," Sasuke said.
"Yeah right," Tenten said, crossing her arms. "That sounds like a challenge."
"You're putting me on that same level as a girl?" Shikamaru said with a pained look on his face.
"Asuma-sensei! Tell these boys that girls are just as good as them!" Tenten said.
"Uh…I have to give all my attention to the road," Asuma said.
Tenten narrowed her eyes.
"Say four other boys and you will try to out-hike four other girls and me. The first group up will be the winners. And they have to go as a team. Not separately." She knew the boys would never be able to do that.
"And what do I get when I win?"
"When I win, I'll get twenty dollars from the losing leader, namely, you."
"I accept that bet," Sasuke said, putting his game face on. "Name your pansies."
"The girls I choose are Nori, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino. Name your losers."
"My guys will be Neji…" He thought for a while. Lee was fast, but annoying. He didn't want an annoying guy on his team, so that cut out Lee, Naruto, and Kiba. The only other guys he knew were Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, and Gaara. "Shikamaru, Shino, and Gaara."
"Why me/Shikamaru?" Shikamaru and Tenten asked.
"Because I know you'll be able to somehow formulate a plan for us," Sasuke said.
"What?" Shikamaru said.
Sasuke shrugged.
"Fine," Tenten said. "Ready to lose, pretty boy?"
"In your dreams," Sasuke said.
"I'm Shino," Shino said randomly.
BACK TO GAI'S CAR…
"Eighty-nine bottles of milk on the wall, Eighty-one bottles of milk! Take one down, pass it around, eighty-eight bottles of milk on the wall! Eighty-eight bottles of milk on the wall, eighty-eight bottles of milk! Take one down, pass it around, eight-seven bottles of milk on the wall!" Gai, Lee, and Naruto sang together.
The others groaned slightly.
"Make it stop…" Nori groaned.
"I'm gonna crack if I stay here any longer…" Gaara said, twitching a little.
"Naruto, kindly SHUT UP," Neji said, knocking Naruto on the head.
"Ow! C'mon! You guys are just party-poopers! Get into the road trip spirit! Take on down, pass it around…"
"This is gonna be a looong car ride…" Nori said.
"I don't feel too well…" Hinata muttered.
Eighty-seven bottles of milk later, Gai shouted, "I KNOW!"
"ARGH!" everyone else shouted. Gai had almost given them a heart attack.
"Let's play I Spy!"
"Let's not," Gaara said.
"As my student I order you to play I Spy with me!"
"Fine."
"Okay," Gai sounded like a little kid. "I spy with my little eye something green!"
"Is it…the field?" Nori said painfully.
"Nope!"
"My shirt?" Lee asked.
"Nope! But it's a very strapping shirt, Lee!"
"Thank you, Gai-sensei!"
"Is it that car?" Neji said. Please let it be that car.
"Nope!"
Neji groaned.
"Is it your car's interior?" Gaara said, for the inside of the car was dark green. It better be the interior…
"NOPE!"
Gaara growled.
"Oh…" Hinata said.
"Hey Hinata, you don't look too good," Naruto said, leaning towards her. "You okay?"
"Mm-mm…" Hinata mumbled, shaking her head and turning a little red. Then green.
"What's wrong?" Nori asked.
"I-I g-get a-a little c-car sick…" Hinata said feverishly.
Gai stopped the car with a sudden jolt. "CAR SICK?"
"Argh!" everyone shouted as they all lurched forward, then back.
Then, Hinata regurgitated.
"ARGH!" Naruto shouted.
"Oh no…" Hinata squeaked.
"Uh-oh…" Nori said.
"That's just fantastic," Gaara sighed.
"Way to go," Neji said sarcastically.
"HINATA PUKED ON NARUTO!" Lee shouted out the window while waving his arms at the other cars that he figured were the other teachers' cars.
