"Frick!" cursed Choji. "There's a test coming up and I know I'm gonna fail!" He curled up into a fetal position and started to suck his thumb.

Shikamaru sighed. "Hmph. Test, schmest. I've never studied for a test before in my life. Studying is such a drag." He rolled over onto his back.

Choji suddenly had...an epiphany.

Hey...Choji thought to himself. If I just copy off of Shikamaru's paper, then I'm home free! "... Hey, Shikamaru, mind if I sit next to you tomorrow?"

Shikamaru rolled over onto his stomach. "Gawd, life is such a drag..."

"Uh...I'll take that as a yes."


AFTER THE TEST

Iruka paced importantly while he flipped through the graded tests. "The top scorer on this test will be given a week off from missions." He announced.

Choji allowed himself an evil smirk. YEAH, BABY!!! I'M A SHOO-IN!!

Iruka continued to pace. "We had two top scorers, Choji and Shikamaru. However, Shikamaru will get a week off from missions, while Choji will recieve detentions every day for a month." He gave Choji his best stink-eye.

"NANI??!!" Choji was shocked into Japanese.

Iruka smiled evilly. "That's right Choji. Shikamaru's answer to number 12 was 'Life is a drag'. Yours was 'That's totally true'."
