Chapter 9: Star Wonderland

I finally got out of the hospital room the following day. I could have gotten out the same day I went in but uncle insisted the doctor and nurses that I stay the night just in case. It's nice to have someone worry for you but he worries too much I think.

Uncle and Hinata picked me up after school ended and he gave me one of those long talks. I was barely listening, I just wanted to go home and take a shower.

So did I get in trouble? Well, not really. I am grounded for a week for getting in the fight and risking my presidency but he knew the real reason I did what I did. He said in a way, I did the right thing by trying to save a friend.

He patted me on the shoulder and said next time to do it the right way. As in, talking and not fighting. I rolled my eyes when he said that. Yeah, I think Sai would have stopped if I told him to. Yeah right, he would have probably laughed at me and knocked me out.

After a long hot bath, I decided to call Sasuke and hear what kind of punishment he was under.

"What do you mean he didn't punish you?"

He laughed on the other line. "He actually said 'that punk deserved it', meaning Sai."

"You lucky bastard."

"Yeah well, whatever. I just hope coach doesn't kick me out of the team or something."

"Right, like the coach would actually kick out the best player on the team." I said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah…" I added, "… want to hang out on Wednesday when uncle goes off to work?"

"Aren't you grounded though?"

"Unless someone tells on me, he won't find out."

"Hey Neji?"

"Yeah?" there was a long pause. Sasuke gave out a long sigh. "CanweinviteNaruto" he tried to say quickly and quietly.

"Haha, sure, I'll invite your boyfriend." I teased.

"Man shutup, I just feel bad for what happened to him yesterday."

"Yeah, yeah… I'll get my driver to drive us then."

"Okay thanks."

"So where do you want to go?" asked Sasuke.

"I have no idea."

We were in my Rolls-Royce getting ready to pick up Naruto. It was about 8:00am.

"We should decide when Naruto is here. I have until 7:00pm until uncle goes home."

"Wait, doesn't he come home around four or five?"

"He said he was going to be staying at his work to finish up some project he was working on. That's why I wanted to pick this day, you know, extra free time."

"That's perfect then."

The car came to a stop in front of a one storey brick house. It was a cute little house with flowers planted in the front yard. They even had a white picket fence. At the driveway, there was the familiar yellow beetle.

"Were outside." I heard Sasuke say to his cell phone, not realizing that he called the blonde.

The second Sasuke hung up; a very happy Naruto came running out of the front door. He literally jumped in the car with excitement. He fixed his hair today. Well, in a way because he had spiked it, but the spikes were all pointing in different directions. He had on these old pair of jeans that had holes on the knee area and of course he had on his orange hoodie that he wears all the time.

Sasuke was almost wearing something similar. Except that his hoodie was black and his designer jeans didn't have holes on them. As for me, I'm wearing my favorite pair of dark jeans. They were sort of faded out but it was comfortable. I was also wearing one of my comfy t-shirts. It was blue and had a logo on the back of my favorite band.

Anyways, once the blonde was inside he jumped on Sasuke and gave him a hug. This boy had a lot of energy. "Thanks for inviting me!"

"Dobe, you're crushing my lungs!"

"Sorry, sorry… Oh hey Neji! I almost didn't see you! Dude, you got an awesome car!"

"Thanks Naruto, so, where do you guys want to go? We've got the whole day."

"I know!" the blonde raised his hand.

"Umm, Naruto?"

"Let's go to Star Wonderland! I've always wanted to go there!"

"What are you kidding me?" said Sasuke.

You see, Star Wonderland is a theme park consisting of many thrill rides. It's about an hour away from Kanoha. And here's a little secret, Sasuke is afraid of heights.

"Aw, c'mon Sasuke, you aren't a chicken are you?" Naruto said mimicking a chicken.

Sasuke glared at the blonde. "Fine." He said crossing his arms.

Naruto's eyes brightened. "Yay!" he cheered. "Oh wait, I almost forgot. We have to pick up Gaara first."

Sasuke and I looked confused. Naruto quickly noticed and said, "Well, I didn't want him to feel left out you know? Plus, his dad is being a total dick lately and I wanted to take him out." He pouted. "So please? Can he go?"

"Well, duh, of course." I told him. Today was my lucky day.

"Did you even tell him there will be other people going?" Sasuke asked.

The blonde scratched his head. "Oops, I forgot to tell him" he grinned.

During the ride to Gaara's house, I asked Naruto what his step dad said about the incident on Monday. He told me that Iruka was much shaken and almost cried. He kept asking if he was okay over and over again. I wouldn't blame the man. I mean, Naruto could have gotten raped if Sasuke wasn't there to save him.

"Sire, we are here" my driver announced.

The car stopped in front of a brown, two storey house. The grass looked un-mowed and had dandelions sticking out from all over the place. There was an old rusty looking truck on the side of their house that didn't look like it worked. Well duh Neji, it had no tires, I told myself.

Naruto got out of the car and ran up to Gaara's front door. He was pressing the doorbell button constantly like his life depended on it. A couple minutes later, a boy with red hair opened the door looking very annoyed. The boy bonked Naruto on the head and Naruto started laughing.

The red-head noticed my car right away and tried to get back in his house but Naruto quickly grabbed his arm and began to drag him to the car.

God, Gaara looked so cute. He was wearing a tight logo tee that said in black writing, 'Skinny boys to it better'. I unconsciously licked my lips when I read it. He was wearing some black tight, fitted jeans. His gray boxers were showing as well. He had on a white belt with various patches of things stitched on them. Can you say sexy?

My face began to feel hot and that funny feeling in my stomach started up again. And was now in full force when the duo stepped in the car.

"Uh, hey guys." Gaara said quietly. Sasuke and I nodded at him.

"Sorry about that, I didn't expect there to be other people. Naruto just said it was just going to be him." He said blushing.

"Hey, don't worry about it." I looked over at my driver. "Okay, you can go ahead and drive to the final stop."

"Very well sire."

"So did you get in trouble?" asked Naruto.

"Grounded for two weeks."

"Awesome!"

"How is that awesome dobe?" said Sasuke, "Anyways, aren't you going to get in trouble when your dad finds out you left?"

"Screw my dad." He said. Sasuke shut up after that.

"So where are we going anyways?" asked the red head.

"Star Wonderland!" yelled Naruto. "It's only the happiest place on earth!"

"Never heard of it." Said Gaara.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes I'm serious"

"Fine, let me explain." Naruto said "it's this really awesome theme park with all these attractions and rides and stuff. They have these funny looking characters walking around and you can take pictures with them."

"I thought you haven't been there? How do you know so much huh?" asked Sasuke.

Naruto pouted. "Well I saw it on T.V. so shutup teme. Anyways like I was saying before I got interrupted, it has the best roller coasters in the country!"

"I haven't been on one before." Gaara said bored.

"What the fuck Gaara, you need to get out of the house more!" shouted the blonde. "I've been on plenty of roller coasters but not in Star Wonderland. So basically, it'll be an experience we can both talk about right Gaara?" added Naruto.

"Oh that will be great." Gaara said sarcastically.

The rest of the ride there consisted of Naruto talking about the most random subjects like why he hates jalapeños to why people who wear bright colors are most likely to succeed. This was our only form of entertainment.

"Wait a second." Gaara interrupted. "What about your stitches?"

I forgot to mention that. "Oh, I asked my doctor this morning. He said it'll be fine just as long as I don't go on those really bumpy rides where you keep smacking the back of your head on the seat."

"Good." He said.

The trip took longer than expected due to the horrible traffic. Thus, making the trip thirty minutes longer. Meaning, thirty more minutes of Naruto's random stories.

I was just about to fall asleep when, "Oh my god! We're here, guy's wake up! Look!" Naruto yelled excitedly. We all turned to where he was pointing. Roller-coasters everywhere. They were so high. I could see everyone's eyes looking up in amazement at the tall, colorful structures. Even though we were still at a distance, you can hear the screams coming form the people on the rides. I smiled. Sasuke gulped. The blonde cheered. Gaara twitched.

(AN: Yes, this was a short chapter. Shortest one I wrote I think. Hehe, The four boys in a theme park yay! This would be fun!)
