Welcome! To the official chapter 3 of Pleasant Surprises! Now, On with the show! And I don't think I mentioned their ages in the profile so Ashleign:17 Alex::16 Macy:17 1/2

Ashleign's POV—I glance back at the door only to see Macy skid into the room shouting, "Hiiiii, Sasor-samaaaa!" "Hn." I answer with a nod, turning back to the pan on the stove. I pull out some bowls from under the counter and placed them to the side, splitting the ramen between them. "Here." She handed one of the bowls to the ravenette and sat on one of the high stools found scattered around the room.

I lean down and pull two pairs of chopsticks out of the plastic bag and handed on to Macy. "How *mumph* did you *gulp* find chopsticks in Dollar General *slurp*?" I shrug and wave my fingers at her lazily.

"Magic."

"Oh, and question? What's chocolate syrup have to do with coffee?" I smirk at her, looking up at her from under my bangs. "Coffee and chocolate is very, very good. You should try it sometime." She makes a face and finishes up her ramen before looking at the door. I sigh. "I'm not cooking for them…" I mutter. "Okay!" I slip out the room before they could notice that I was gone and head back up to the second floor. I reach my locker and pull out a messenger bag, full of art supplies and go back into the art room. I pull out a pad of acrylic paint paper and tear off a sheet, setting it on the table I had sat on just a half hour before.

I take out three paintbrushes of different sizes and a pack of paints. I start painting, white, then red then black, turning the paper into a face, a single red eye in the upper corner. I take peach out and lighten it with white, getting that pale skin that went with the eye.

Normal POV-- That done, she spread it on the paper, so deeply in concentration that she didn't notice the slight figure slip into the room. Or maybe she just decided to ignore him. A glare on her face, she takes out a large, wide, flat brush and covered it with black paint. She painted the black hair onto the face adding a jaw line and the hint of a frown. She sits back satisfied and glances at the figure standing beside her table. She frowns. "Itachi." "Hn. You're very talented." She rolls her eyes. "Whatever."

She walks into a back room and the sound of water is heard as she cleans the brushes and paint tray. She walks back and pulls out another sheet of paper, pushing the drying painting to the corner of the table. Going through the same process, except this time the hair was blond and the eye was a sky blue. There was more face to this picture also. "Deidara." Itachi stated simply. "Hmm." The girl agreed, not bothering to look up, too intent on her picture.

"Sasori." She simply states, the figure lightly stepping into the room. She stood and cleaned her brushes once again. This time, putting them back into the bag. Her eyes flick to the door and she asks, "Everyone eat something?" Sasori nods and takes a set across from her, carefully picking up the drying pictures. Her eyes flick restlessly around the room and all is silent until a buzzing noise surprises them. The girl reached into her pocket, pulling out a neon green phone and hitting a button on it, she answered, "Hello?"

"No. … No. I'm not. I'm staying with Macy this weekend. Yes, I'll call you when we arrive. What? Fine. Bye." She hits another button, successfully ending the conversation. She looks at them, an eyebrow raised. "What? …oh. This is a cell phone. You use it to talk to each other over a long distance." They nod and she turns towards the doorway where shouting could be heard. The girl walks over to the door to see what the commotion is only to be knocked down by a frantic Tobi. Thwak! The girl lets out a stream of curse words that Hidan would be proud of. She stood and slammed her foot into Tobi sending him back out to where Deidara had been previously chasing him.

Ashleign's POV—I growl and stalk out of the room and hissed to Deidara as I passed him, "Feel free to blow him to smithereens." My friends share a concerned look as I fly past them but they know better than to stop me and ask. I fly down the stairs and head to the weight room to let out some of my frustrations.

Macy's POV—I watch as Ashleign flies past us. The only time I saw her like that was when her cousin had just died and somebody just had to say something to her, something that normally would just make her laugh. They ended up going to the hospital with a broken, arm, leg, and nose. She's always been known to have a temper but this was the first time many of the students had ever seen her snap. I walk calmly over to Tobi and say, "Tobi thinks Tobi should apologize to Sasori-sama when she comes back." I turn and look at Deidara who's looking at a picture on the table. "Tobi thinks that Deidara should apologize too. It's Deidara's fault Sasori-sama got mad at Tobi in the first place." He grumbles a bit before going off and stalking off somewhere.

3 hours later—I walk calmly into the room and shout, "Bedtimeeee!" receiving many groans. Over the three hours that Ashleign had been gone, we had went over rules and one of the rules was that when we said it was bedtime, it was bedtime. I give them a goofy grin and skip to the gym as that was where we had decided to sleep. This one was the new one, up on first floor. The one where we had discovered the Akatsuki was in the basement. Ashleigh silently joined the group as we made our way to the gym. Her anger had cooled some time ago but she didn't want to risk snapping again. It was certain that she had given Tobi some bruises.

She gives me a small smile and flicks on the gym light. "Twenty minutes then I have to shut the lights back off. Understand?" Hidan groaned and muttered some curse words while the rest just nodded. "Yaaay! Tobi will be back in a minute! Be patient!" I zip(yay!) down the hallway, sliding into a stop in front of my locker. I spin out the combination and yank open the locker. I reach into my huuuge duffle bag and pull out a thick hard back book and a flashlight.

'Oh, this will be good….'

Yupperz. Done. I don't know any scary stories. All the 'scary' stories are just funny. Oh well. I'll find something. Bye.
