A/N: Here's a new chapter! Thank you to all who reviewed! And I got the chapter name by their nicknames. Like I wrote in the first chapter the smart is Sakura, the shy is Hinata, the sporty is Ten-Ten, and the sweet but it's ironic is Ino. I didn't really know what to name this chapter so I did that. I might to that for a lot of chapters since I don't know what to do with them.
A/N... again: I decided to give review reponse to the reviews so here they are:
sutaaretto: Yeah, I actually got the idea for Sakura from the book Flirt
tiffanylicis: I UPDATED!
Sakura4eva: Don't feel so bad, I didn't know. I just made up some random name.
sasusaku0386: Thank you , I updated, thank you again, and thank you... again!
animefan99: THANKS! here's the update!
2supersmart: hi! Thank you! I wished I read fast, but I read at a regular pace. I know she sounds like a... yeah, but that's what I tried to make her sound like!

Chapter 3
Great (The Smart), Okay (The Shy), Okay but sort of bad (The sporty), Bad (The Sweet (ironic))
After the disastrous meeting, the four interns were told that tomorrow they would be told what internships they will have for the summer and that they could do whatever they liked. Meg wanted to show Chiyo and Sakura where they were going to stay while Nicole said she was going to the spa or something like that.
"So, where do we live?" Chiyo asked Meg as the three girls went into the elevator.
Meg smiled but didn't answer right away. She pressed the button that read 'Ground Floor'.
"You'll see," Meg said.
"Why can't you tell us?" Sakura asked, impatient now.
"Because… I can't really explain it," Meg said. "But it's not in this building."
"Okay," Sakura said.
Sakura took out her cell phone and started to finally answer the voicemails. She first dialed Hinata. (A/N: it's six at night in LA so it's around noon for Japan or something like that)
------------------------------
Hinata right now was doing one of her jobs. She only had two jobs, which was babysitting and working as a waitress in a Ramen Shop. Right now she was at the Ramen Shop being a waitress.
The Ramen shop, which was actually called Ichigaku (A/N: I don't own if this is the right spelling) ramen shop, was sort of big. It had lots of tables (which right now more then half was filled), some shelves that had instant Ramen that Hinata guessed were for people who wanted this kind of Ramen but in their houses, a cash register, bathrooms, and basic stuff that a normal eating shop would have.
Hinata's uniform, like every other person who was working here, was just a white apron that reached up to her knees with the Ramen Shop logo in the middle. The apron had a three small pockets in the bottom, which she usually used one put the pad of paper that she writes in, the middle to put her pen and tips if she got any, and the last one kept her cell phone which was on vibrate.
Hinata was right now getting the money on the table that the people left her for a tip since she was the one serving them. As she put the money in the middle pocket she felt her phone vibrating. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Sakura.
"Sakura?" Hinata asked through the phone.
"Hey Hinata!" Sakura greeted in her usually happy tone of voice. "I got your voicemail! I'm right now in a limo! An actual limo! And I'm going to the place where I have to live. I have lots to tell you! Something horrible happen when I had my meeting with the manger but—"
"Um Sakura," Hinata interrupted her best friend's speed talking. "I'm in work right now. Can I call you later?"
"Oh, okay we got to the place where I'm suppose to stay anyways!" Sakura said, sounding happy still. "Just call me back the minute you're done with work! Bye!"
"Bye," Hinata said.
After hearing nothing left, Hinata put her phone back to her pocket.
"Hinata-chan!" the manager's daughter, Ayame, called.
"Y-yes, Ayame-san?" Hinata stuttered a bit as she turned around to see Ayame.
When Hinata just met someone or they were like an acquaintance then Hinata stuttered. But once you were her friend, or best friend, then she wouldn't stutter. Hinata herself didn't know why she did this; she just did ever since she could remember.
"I need you to take the order of the guy in table seven," Ayame ordered. "Everyone else is busy."
"H-hai," Hinata said, nodding.
Ayame walked back into the kitchen and Hinata turned to her side and almost dropped her tray (which she carried ramen with if she had any, which right now she wasn't) and turned a light shade of red or a dark shade a pink at the blonde hair blue-eyed boy who was sitting at table seven.
Hinata took a deep breath in and out and walked to table seven as confidently as she could.
"Hey Naruto, can I take your order?" Hinata asked timidly, giving a sigh in relief she didn't stutter but she did turn a shade of pink.
Naruto was Hinata's friends so she shouldn't stutter, but Hinata still stuttered around Naruto since she liked him since they were twelve.
"Hey Hinata," Naruto greeted. "Since when did you work here?"
"It's my first day here," Hinata answered.
"Oh. I would have the beef flavored Ramen," Naruto said. "And water."
Hinata nodded as she wrote down his order and left for the kitchen.
'Hopefully I get to see Naruto more often,' Hinata thought in her head.
------------------------------
Right now Ten-Ten was in her cabin and lying in her bed. Her camp was one of those outdoor camps that made them live in cabins made out of logs.
The camp had twenty-one people (not twenty as Ten-Ten thought) and it was three to a cabin so there was a bunk bed and a regular bed in each cabin. For some reason the cabin was two guys and a girl, but Ten-Ten guessed it was either because the people who made this up was stupid or they trusted that the people won't do anything… romantic like.
Ten-Ten got the one bed while her roommates got the bunk beds. Her roommates were Rock Lee (a guy that was in her school, was her classmate, and he had a crush on Sakura) and (to Ten-Ten's delight) Neji, who were both lying on their beds.
What they were suppose to do? They didn't know. It was noon like so they should be doing something. And yet, they weren't. Well, actually in a few minutes their sensei would come into their cabin and talk to them about what they're going to do all summer.
See, this wasn't an ordinary sports camp. The people were going to train with weapons, material arts, and anything else that would be dangerous, which is why they're parents had to sign a paper (and Ten-Ten begged her parents for them to sign it) (A/N: Yes, Ten-Ten has parents. Well, for this story she does). They did all this because at the end of summer they were going to battle each other to see who's the best.
Ten-Ten reached for her cell phone on her bedside table as it started to vibrate irritably.
"Hello Ten-Ten?" Ten-Ten heard Sakura's voice ask through the phone.
"Hey Sakura," Ten-Ten said. "What's up?"
"Nothing, but I got your voicemail," Sakura said.
"Is that Sakura?" Lee asked, sitting up. "Give me the phone!"
"No, Lee," Ten-Ten said to Lee, sounding a bit annoyed. She then turned away from Lee and started to talk to the phone. "Really? So how's LA?"
"Great," Sakura answered. "The people are great… well expect one girl. And I was late to a meeting, where I wasn't that presentable, but it was still great."
"Give me the phone!" Lee ordered, with his hand out. "I need to pledge my love to her!"
"No!" Ten-Ten answered. She then talked back to the phone. "Sakura I'll call you later… there's--"
"No, I get it," Sakura said, actually understanding. Her voice went into a whisper. "I could hear Lee."
"Bye," Ten-Ten said, smiling an amused smile.
"Bye!" Sakura said.
Ten-Ten hung up the phone and put it back on the table. Before Lee could say anything, the door burst opened.
"HELLO YOUTHFULL STUDENTS!" A man in green spandex, a bowl haircut, and the bushiest eyebrows ever greeted, as he made a weird pose.
'Damn it,' Ten-Ten cursed in her mind.
"Gai-sensei!" Lee exclaimed in the happiest tone.
"Rock Lee!" the man, named Gai, exclaimed back.
"Gai-sensei!"
Ten-Ten and Neji were both sitting up on their beds with an o.O on their faces as Gai and Lee were looking at each other with a look of lovingness in their eyes as a sunset background were behind them.
See, Gai was their gym teacher in high school and was basically a role model for Rock Lee for some reason, which was obvious because he copied Gai's fashion style. And when the four years past by they both showed a… sort of a… they both were very happy when they met up with each other, which made lots of people to go o.O even if they seen it lots of times before because it was just plain freaky.
After the embracement between Gai and Lee (yes they embraced) was over Gai did another pose.
"Hi," Neji mumbled.
"Hey Gai-sensei. Are you are sensei?" Ten-Ten asked, as she was trying to hide her disliking if he answered yes.
Ten-Ten glanced at Neji and saw that he even looked like he didn't want Gai as there sensei and that he was just here to see Rock Lee.
"Correct my youthful student!" Gai boomed. "I am your sensei!"
Lee cheered as Ten-Ten and Neji both gave an anime sweat drop.
'At least I'll be Neji,' Ten-Ten said, smiling and shifted her eyes to Neji.
------------------------------
"Wow!" Sakura gasped, looking around. "This is so cool!"
Right now Sakura, Chiyo, and Megan were at the place they were going to live for the whole summer. The place was actually a suite at a nearby (and expensive) hotel nearby Chic Chick. They were right now standing in a huge living that less then was also part of a kitchen. There were two hallways that led to two doors on the left and one bathroom to the right. In the living room there was a door that opened for a balcony.
"I know," Chiyo said, as she was looking around. "This is bigger then my house!"
"You two get one of the rooms in the left hallway. There are two so you have to claim one. The other room on the right is the bathroom," Meg said.
The two nodded as they went to the left hallway. Sakura choose the room with a sort of flower like theme to it while Chiyo chose one with a Asian theme.
Sakura jumped, or really dived, into her comfy and soft bed. She reached for her phone, like she did numerous of times, and dialed the one person she didn't call yet: Ino.
Ino was suppose to be on the plane, or at least Sakura was thinking she was, but Sakura still dialed her phone number anyways. And, as expected, it went straight to her voicemail.
"Hey it's Ino!" Sakura heard Ino's voicemail say. "I'm not here. Leave a voicemail after the beep or I'll never get back to you… ever."
"Hey Ino," Sakura said into the voicemail. "I got your voicemail. I'm here in LA right now! It's so great! Anyways call me when you get the message or if I'm online then instant message me… since there's a computer in my room! Still: bye, hope you're having a good trip, and a good airplane trip!"
Sakura closed her phone and lied her head on the pillow.
"Hopefully Ino is having a good airplane trip," Sakura hoped.
------------------------------
Ino woke up the next morning. Yesterday she got off the plane to Paris, got picked by her auntie and uncle, they drove to their place, she was shown to the guest room (she never been there before since they always went to her), and she immediately fell asleep since of the time difference or something like that. (A/N: I don't know the time difference of Japan and France. I'm just saying she slept and now she's awake and luckily it's morning)
Ino yawned as she got up and grabbed her phone. Since she was to sleepy to turn it yesterday, Ino decided to turn it on now when she was awake. As she rummaged around her luggage for some new clothes, she called her voicemail.
"You have one new voicemail," the voicemail women's voice said.
Hinata and Ten-Ten already called before Ino turned off her phone it was obvious that it was Sakura who left the voicemail.
"Hey Ino," Ino heard Sakura's voice. It sounded to happy. "I got your voicemail. I'm here in LA right now! It's so great! Anyways call me when you get the message or if I'm online then instant message me… since there's a computer in my room! Still: bye, hope you're having a good trip, and a good airplane trip!"
"End of—No new messages," The voicemail said.
Ino ended the call and laughed since it was a sarcastic remark, as she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"A good airplane trip, ha!" Ino laughed again.
She turned on the shower, took off her Pajamas, and went into the shower.
"That plane trip was annoying as much as the guy sitting next to me," Ino mumbled, as she started to wet her blonde hair.
Ino walked down the aisle of the airplane, looking for a vacant seat. Since she was late, lots of the seats were taken.
"Just because I wanted to buy some chocolates," Ino mumbled, eating a Hershey's kisses.
As she entered the back row, she luckily saw a vacant seat. Ino chuckled at the guy sitting next to the vacant seat. His hairstyle was like a pineapple! Ino looked at him more as she got closer to him. He was obviously Japanese and he was looking outside the window. To her opinion, he was kind of cute, but not as cute as Uchiha Sasuke though.
"Can I sit here?" Ino asked the guy.
The guy turned away from the window, glanced at Ino, and nodded. Ino sat down and got herself settled in.
"I'm Ino," Ino said to the guy, who was again staring outside the window.
"I'm Shikamaru," the guy, obviously named Shikamaru, said, not even bothering to look at her again.
Deciding not to bother Shikamaru for a while, Ino took out the latest magazine of Chic Chick and read it. But because Ino was reading her magazine, it didn't really mean she was really reading anything from the magazine. She was actually glancing at Shikamaru. The more she glanced at him the more she grew a liking of him.
Even though she was looking at him, she didn't have one of those awkward she glances at him, he glances at her, they both quickly look away, and she glances at him later on. Nothing like that happened. He was always looking at the window! It was like his eyes were glued to the window! Then Ino noticed that the only time she saw him glance away from the window was when she asked if she could sit there and when the stewardess came to ask if they wanted a drink.
As they were on the plane for like an hour or two already, Ino got to the end of the magazine, grabbed her bag that was under her seat, and put the magazine in. Luckily the Hershey kisses, that she bought and made her late, weren't melted.
Ino grabbed one from the bag, took off the wrapper, and popped one in her mouth. She side glanced at Shikamaru and saw he was still gazing at the window. Deciding she wanted to be 'the sweet' in the so-called 'Fab Four' and not having it due to being ironic, Ino offered Shikamaru some.
"Want some Kisses?" Ino asked.
Shikamaru finally looked at Ino, but had a strange look on his face like a 'WTF' look.
"How troublesome," Shikamaru said.
"How is it troublesome?" Ino asked, not knowing that he was thinking about the other kisses, the romantic kind. "I was just wondering if you want a…" Ino finally noticed her mistake, as she grabbed a handful of Hershey kisses and shoved them towards Shikamaru's direction. "I meant this kind of kisses!"
Ino expected Shikamaru to say "Oh, my bad" or something like that. But no! He just shook his head and said "No, to troublesome" and went back gazing at the window.
"Why do you gaze at the window a lot?" Ino asked, deciding to know Shikamaru better, but by being annoying.
"Because I like to look at the sky and clouds."
"Really? I thought it was because you're lazy," Ino said. Considering that he was only looking outside, Ino decided he was lazy. "And why—"
"You talk a lot," Shikamaru interrupted, not even looking away from the window. "Your're troublesome."
"Is 'troublesome' your favorite word or something?" Ino asked.
"Is being annoying your favorite hobby?"
"Well!" Ino said, with an attitude.
Ino then did a dramatic 'humph' while crossing her arms and turning away from Shikamaru. She then grabbed her magazine again and started to flip through the pages like she was looking for something.
'And to think I was attracted to him, ha!' Ino thought in her head. She then stopped at a page, which was a poster of Uchiha Sasuke. 'He's not even half as cute as Uchiha Sasuke!'
After Ino turned off the shower, dried herself off with a towel, put her clothes on (a gray and white striped polo shirt, a dark blue denim mini, and banded gray leggings) she put her blonde hair in a bun and went out of the bathroom and into her room.
"I hope I never see that Shikamaru guy again," Ino mumbled, as she put her pajamas on the bed. She then headed towards the door to go downstairs and eat.
Ino looked at the place where she was going to spend her next three months at. Since she came in late last night and she was tired, she didn't have a good glimpse of it before. But now she saw it. And it was huge! Well, not really.
She was right now at the end of a long and big hallway. Ino saw one room to her right and one to her left. She guessed it was two more guess rooms with their own bathrooms too (Ino's auntie and uncle were rich). As she passed by the two rooms she found the stairs that led downstairs.
Deciding that the peanuts, the Hershey Kisses, and the crepe that her auntie offered her was still making her full, she walked past the stairway and walked to the other hallway.
Of course her auntie and uncle gave a tour of the house (the very big house that anyone would mistake as a mansion) but Ino didn't really listen since she was sleepy. There were a room to her right, which Ino knew that it was her older cousin's room (but he was in America for college) and saw to her left there was another room, that she didn't know what it was.
Letting her curiosity take the best of her, Ino opened the door and her eyes went wide. It was a library… a very huge library. It was like one of those old libraries that you see in movies in a castle with two stories and had a sort of dark look at it due to it's Victorian like look. There were a few big and tall arch windows were dead ends were. If Ino had to describe it then it would be a maze.
"I see you found the library," Ino jumped in fright for the new voice from behind her and turned to see her Uncle Sora.
"Good morning, uncle Sora," Ino greeted. "How come you have so many books?"
"Well, I like to read and Kairi loves to read," Sora said. "It's sort of like your parents with flowers."
Ino smiled. Her parents owned a flower shop and her parents loved flowers. Now she understood what her uncle was talking about.
"If you look at the upper part of the stairs there's a balcony with some chairs and a patio table that I play Shougi (A/N: Japanese chess. Sorry if I spelled it wrong) with our next door neighbor," Sora said, looking up at the second story and pointing to what looked like two arched windows conjoined together with door handles to where the middle part was. Sora then looked down at Ino since he was about a head and a half taller then her. "Our neighbor is your age."
"Really?" Ino asked, a bit surprised.
"Yeah," Sora said nodding. "He'll be coming over today to return some books he borrowed… although I don't think he read them since he's lazy and I usually see him lie on the ground gazing at the clouds."
'Could it be?' Ino asked herself, thinking about Shikamaru. She then shook her head. 'Nah, it can't be.'
"So, what's for breakfast?" Ino asked.
After Ino and her uncle Sora went down stairs (where it just revealed a door to the kitchen that connected to the living room, a bathroom, and a basement) and saw her auntie Kairi making pancakes.
"Good morning auntie Kairi," Ino greeted.
"Good morning, Ino," Kairi greeted. She then handed Ino a plate withapancakeon.
"Pancakes?"
"Sure," Ino said, grabbing it and sitting down at the wooden table that was covered by a flower pattern tablecloth.
After a while… okay it was actually like five minutes later Ino was still eating her first plate of pancakes. It proved only two things: She was a slow eater since the plate only had one pancake in it or she was thinking about if the guy her uncle was talking about was Shikamaru.
It was the second theory.
'Shikamaru better not be the guy next door,' Ino thought in her head. 'If he is then…'
"Ino, why are you stabbing the pancake?" Sora asked, looking at his niece stabbing the pancake with her fork at random places with the look of fury in her face.
Ino looked down at her stabbed pancake and saw that if she connected the holes she made by stabbing her fork it resembled a diagonal like thing with another one connected at the end.
"No reason," Ino said hastily with a smile to match.
To Ino's luck someone rang the doorbell and knocked on the door.
"Oh, that must be the next door neighbor's kid that I was talking to you about," Sora said, getting up.
'Please not be Shikamaru. Please not be Shikamaru,' Ino chanted in her mind.
And of course it was Shikamaru.
"Ino, this is our next door neighbor Shikamaru," Sora introduced Ino. "Shikamaru, this is my and Kairi's niece Ino."
"Hi," Ino said.
"Hey," Shikamaru replied, sounding like he was looking and (to Ino's opinion) is: lazy. "Again."
"You two know each other?" Sora asked the two.
"We sat next to each other on the plane," Ino informed.
"That's nice," Kairi said, she then put out her hand, which had a plate of pancakes. "Shikamaru, do you want some food?"
"No, I already ate," Shikamaru replied. "I just wanted to return the books."
Sora laughed as he grabbed the books from Shikamaru.
"Did you actually read them?" Sora asked. "Or did you forgot and just stare up at the clouds?"
"Both," Shikamaru replied.
'He's acting so nice,' Ino thought in her mind, as she was stabbing her fork at random places again. 'But I see right through him! And he's a lazy person who thinks he's better then everyone else!'
Ino looked down at her pancake and saw that her pancake, which now resembled a heart if you connected the holes.
A/N: I know it's a bad ending, sorry! I just couldn't really think of something good.
Next chapter is about… I'm not that sure what it's about yet. Sorry, again. It's most likely about all of the four girls talking again by Internet or something like that. And in the end I'll probably have something about Hinata.
So please review, but no flames!
