LACEY AND I ELOPE! XD

NO RECAP!"What did you do?!" Lacey said with her hands on her hips. I gulped. Yup, definitely my mom. "W-Well.." I stuttered. I pulled off my apron, balled it up, and set it on the counter to stall. I was always embarrassed about this kind of stuff. "Well?!" she said. " haha ha um, well, Gaara came over to give me back my necklace," I said pointing to the star on my neck, "And he, um, wanted some pocky. But um I tried to hit him and you know the whole sand thing so.. I got into a bit of a compromising position." I finished talking with a deep blush settling into my face.

Lacey took a deep breath. "Maggie.. Please, don't do anything stupid," she said. I nodded. Lacey was older than me after all. I finished the stew and got out the dinner plates. Everyone was washing their hands and faces to eat. I served but I wasn't really hungry due to recent circumstances. Whenever I got really embarrassed I couldn't down anything. I ran to my room and sucked in a deep breath. I HAD to get out of this house, it was driving me crazy!

I changed into some black pants and a blue t shirt. I was tying the top of my boots when there was a knock on my door. "Come in," I said. Lacey walked into the room. "Hey," I muttered. She quirked an eyebrow. "Where are you going?" she asked. "I dunno, but I have to get out of here, just for 24 hours ok? I might, I dunno, kick someone's ass for the heck of it," I said. She sighed. "Maggie.. You know you can't go out alone," she said. But there was something else in her voice. I couldn't quite place it. When I looked up though I immediately understood her meaning.

"ROADTRIP!," I yelled. She started laughing really hard and nodded. "Ok, well go change and get an extra set of clothes, we'll leave at midnight," I said. She nodded and was about to leave the room before I added, "Don't tell anyone, I'll leave a note but it'll be nice being worried about for once," I said. She nodded and went to her room. It was seven right now so I had 5 hours to take a nap. I got an extra set of clothes together and opened the door. "Hey guys, I'm not feeling too good so I'm gonna go to bed, k?" I said and slammed the door.

I threw on the covers and waited for sleep. I woke up at 11:38. Lucky me. I threw my small backpack on and wrapped my hoody around my waist. I slowly opened the door and looked into the hallway. No one. I went into the kitchen and opened the cabinets. I pulled out a box of crackers, some pocky, and a few tea bags. Hmm.. Anything else? Oh yea! I needed to write a note for Sasuke.

'Dear Sasuke,

Thank you for letting us stay here and all that you've done for us. Me and Lacey decided to take a road trip though since I've been cooped up in the house so long. We'll be back in less than two weeks. By the way, I stole some food and your map. Ja Ne!

Sincerely,Maggie'

Yea that should be good enough. I turned around and nearly jumped out of my skin. "Lacey!" I hissed. "Did I scare you?" she asked. "No," I grumbled. I pulled open a drawer and searched for Sasuke's good map. I finally found it. I folded it up and stuck it in my back pocket. "Ready?" I asked. "Duh!" she said. I pulled down my beret like hat and walked to the door. When we were outside I made sure I locked the door.

"So, where are we going?" Lacey asked. "I dunno, where do you wanna go?" I said. This went on for a full five minutes. "Okay Okay! We'll look at the map," I said holding up my hands. I reached into my back pocket and pulled out the map. I shut my eyes and randomly pointed at the map. "Suna.." Lacey trailed off. My luck wasn't usually this good. "Okay, Now Lacey you pick a spot," I said shoving the worn piece of paper to her. She pointed randomly too. "Forest area.. So we're going camping!" I said laughing.

Lacey stuck her tongue out at me and folded the map back up. She handed it to me and I shoved it into my pocket. "Well, let's get going!" I said. So, with my hair tucked into my hat and looking VERY different from 1 month ago, we headed off to Suna.

The light was just shining over the trees when we noticed we were close to the boundaries. My eyes widened. "Thank God!" I yelled. Me and Lacey ran to the boundary line. "Suna here I come!" I said. I closed my eyes momentarily and came in contact with something, causing me to fall on my butt. Me and Lacey had been running close so we both hit whatever it was. I opened my eyes but refused to look up.

In front of me was the bottom of a black cloak with red clouds on it. That could only mean.. "Itachi!," Lacey screamed. I gulped. Fanfiction was great, but in the real Naruto world, he probably wasn't so sweet. "Haha, we were just um, going that way," I said pointing to the boundary like. Itachi turned his stare to me. Luckily he hadn't activated the Sharingan yet. "What are you thinking girl," Itachi said. I gulped and said the first thing that came to mind. "Emo, Emo, Japan, Anime," I said. Itachi quirked an eyebrow and then looked at Lacey.

For Lacey though, this was a dream come true. "Itachi.." She muttered. I swear she had the total fan girl look. But then again.. I shouldn't be talking. Remember the whole Gaara thing? "That's Itachi-sama to you two," he hissed. I gulped and slowly stood up. Time to use those manners that were forced on me as I grew up. "I beg your pardon Itachi-sama," I said bowing, "We were just headed to Suna." Lacey stood up and bowed also but she was speechless. "I beg you to let us pass," I said. Itachi looked at us with the same emotionless gaze. I gulped. I bowed again and said, "Please.." He walked past me and stood in front of Lacey.

Lacey looked as if she couldn't move. He bent down and sniffed her shoulder (Yes Lacey, like the thing you do) and pulled away. "Lavender, nice," he said. And Lacey fainted. I sighed. Itachi picked her up. "Um, Itachi-sama? Can I, um, have my friend back?" I asked. He glared death at me. Uh-oh. But I guess he decided to have mercy on me and hand Lacey over. Itachi walked away and into the forest.

I carried Lacey over the boundary line and dropped her. Yes I really did drop her but she still didn't wake up. I frowned. Hmm.. What's a fun way to wake her up? SMACK! "Ow! What the hello kitty was that for?" she yelled. "Um, I didn't really want to carry you," I said.

She scowled at me and stood up. "Was that a dream?" she asked. "Nope," I answered bluntly. "Itachi likes lavender," she muttered. I sighed. Love struck fan girl. "Come on.. I wanna be in Suna before the sun goes down," I said.

And we were! We walked into the dusty streets of Suna in search of a good food place. Then I realized something.. I kind of forgot the money.. Yea. "You didn't forget to get money did you?" Lacey asked. "Um, what would you do if I say I did?" I asked. "I'd hit you on the head repeatedly," she answered. "Damn it," I muttered. Lacey hit hard! "Um, I'll see if I can find Gaara.." I said trailing off.

She gave me an evil glare and started to hit me on the head repeatedly. "Stop hitting her!" someone yelled. I noticed my red headed savior calmly walking towards us. "Thanks Gaara," I muttered rubbing my head. Lacey laughed. "Please, if I really wanted to hurt you I would," she said. "So what are you doing in Suna?" Gaara asked. "Road trip," I said.

BACK WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE.. CUZ IM TOO LAZY TO TYPE THEIR NAMES EVEN THOUGH IM TYPING THIS THING.. BLAH!!!!

"Where could they be?!" Sasuke yelled. "I dunno, but don't yell at me!" Victoria shouted back. Sasuke was furious. Victoria rarely got pissed but right now was an exception. "I can't believe she just took off," He muttered with his head in his hands. "What the French toast are you talking about?! You kept her cooped up in this house with nothing to do but cook and clean! We both know Lacey only went with her because she didn't want Maggie to travel alone! And you know she would have left whether Lacey went or not!" Victoria screamed. She stalked back to her room and slammed the door, leaving a very stunned Sasuke in her wake.

Caitlin had been writing a scroll to the Hokage and listening to music at the table when the fight happened. She calmly took off her headset and went to the cabinets. She searched until she found a glass bottle and two shot glasses. She poured Sake into both of them and handed one to Sasuke. He looked at her curiously. "Drink up, it makes life go a hell of a lot faster," she said downing hers. Sasuke nodded and drank his.
