Okay, so, I'm going to drop the big bummer on everyone before I even get to my next exciting story.

There's only four more weeks of summer left.

Now, now, before you go crying your eyes out because you'll all miss me very, very much, I will give you one thing! My lifedoesn't end after the long summer. So… yeah, that's a very crappy hint. I don't know why I even tried. Oh well, think it over, and then tell me what you got.

Unless it's a taco. 'Cause I might steal your taco. Or Tobi will. The world may never know.

Back to the present, my cabin was still discussing the band instruments while I mended some scrapes and bruises.

"If Tobi can't play Tangerine, Tobi can play violin!"

…Whoa. This little dude was surprising us left and right. I mean, 'communicate' and 'playing the violin' and 'I'm a pirate' and OMK, I LOVE YOU TOBI. I mean, what girl doesn't love a pirate who can spell and play the violin?

I bet some hands went up…

"Okay Tobi! Does anyone else be able to sing? With Tobi's violin suggestion, I think I have a song in mind…" I trail off, a small smile lighting my lips. Not one of those evil ones where everyone needs to duck for cover. Those are left for battles. No, this one is an actual smile. I love music, and being able to sing one of my favorite songs in all history (as a hint, it's by The Pretty Reckless!) is just to cool for me.

Now to get everyone else for the game.

Standing on one of our tables (yes, we are still located in the now vacant cafeteria) I put my hands on my hips.

"Kisame, paper and pen! Pronto!" I ordered Mr. Fishy, wanting to get this over with. He just rolled his eyes and complied, placing the two items in my outstretched hand.

Scribbling all of the instruments on the paper, I leave some room so I could put in names.

"Okay! So there's a guitarist, a base player, drums, a violinist, and a singer. The guitarist, which is Hidan, will have to sing once or twice. We also need people who can do lights, smoke jobs, makeup"-which I'll probably be stuck with- "a manager to manage the crowd as we blow them away, and all of that junk." Looking up from the piece of paper, I grin.

"Who wants what?"

0000000

Finally, after many courses of barbed wire pricking my back, and getting punched by, surprisingly Tobi, fights that Hidan, Sasori, Kakuzu and Deidara mostly started, and threats (oh Kisame…) later, this is what we came up with!

Tobi is the violinist.

Hidan will string up the guitar.

Itachi is the light person while Kisame helps with getting the instruments and hooking them up.

Pein is, obviously, the manager.

Kakuzu plays the base.

I sing and do the makeup.

Deidara rocks out on the drums.

Sasori makes all of the costumes. He better not make me look bad…

Clapping his hands together, Pein hopped up onto the table next to me and stared at all of the members intently. "The band contest is showing on the last Sunday of the summer. According to the pamphlet," he flick said pamphlet in front of him and scanned it with a raised eyebrow, "we will still have courses, but Tsunade will probably be drunk and let us off."

Cheers echoed through the hall, and I grin happily. "CROWD RIDING!" I screamed suddenly and jumped on Kisame and Itachi, who, thank goodness, raised their arms in time to catch me. Lying on my back, I snap my fingers and they quickly passed me around.

Hey, might as well get practice now right?

000000

As we swaggered out of the cafeteria like pimps, I could feel the tense thickness in the air. Turning to the nearest dude that wasn't as clueless as me, I ask him what was up.

"Konoha punks attacked our cabin," Jugo, from Cabin Two, explained with a small hiss. I raised an eyebrow skeptically.

Not possible.

Calling to Cabin Three that I'd be right back, I flit through the crowd, noting that soap was on Cabin Two's roof, and opened Naruto's cabin door without a knock. Looking around at all of the members, I narrow my eyes.

"Choji, Shikamaru, Sai, Kiba" –I inhaled- "Naruto, Shino, Neji… WHAT DID YOU DO NOW!" I screamed, glad that I had taken an extra breath so my extra scary voice echoed through out the small cabin.

Wincing, Naruto came up to me and hung his head. "Teme was being a butthead… again." I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Naruto, Sasuke is always a butt head." But I seriously wonder why he styles his hair so… strangely. I mean, I bet he looked at a parrot (thank you Konan for the new insult) when he styled his hair for the first time. Or Itachi messed it up in his sleep and he liked it. Hm, so many possibilities. I'll have to ask him on a next dare. Fun.

Rounds of laughter reached my ears when I finally drifted back to reality. I smile at them and sigh loudly. "I can't stay mad at you guys…" I mutter, walking forward and sitting right dab in the middle. I might not be mad at them, but I still want to learn what they did… So I asked!

"Well, you see Sakura, they were being troublesome…"

"Yeah," several crunches later, "they kept provoking us."

"One insulted my art."

"Another one kicked Akamaru! I can never forgive that bas-"

"And Sasuke was in on it! He didn't do anything to stop them! I thought he was my kinda-brother-thing…"

"He stepped. On a bug. HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME?"

"…They're just all stupid."

Judging on how Shika seemed paranoid when stating his defense, and how one of the dudes from the Sound cabin kicked a puppy, I started to believe that Cabin One weren't the criminals here. I just got even madder when Naruto's hurt expression crossed his face, and was seriously surprised when Shino showed so much emotion. I'm actually believing in miracles when Neji actually said something.

Rubbing my face with my hands, I sat up from my sleeping position and glared at them all.

"So what did you do?"

Guilty glances were shared and everyone pointed to Shikamaru to spit out the deets (If you've never watched iCarly on a Saturday morning because you were too lazy to do anything else, 'deets' means 'details').

"This is going to be troublesome... Well, like we said, they were being nasty. So, we took some of Tsunade's shaving cre- …We took some mystery cream and sprayed it all over their pillows. Just to make sure that they wouldn't see it, we challenged them to a contest to see who could do the courses perfectly in the smallest amount of time. If they failed, they had to do the courses over again.

"As well as that, we did some work with rope, and had conveniently placed 'Surprise Pies' that Chef cooked us." I shuddered. Surprise Pies… mine moved once. But, suppressing the vile that raised in my throat, I nodded to Shikamaru to move on. He let out an exasperated sigh.

"When they were finished with that, I had Naruto tie a huge bucket of Akamaru's dog piss to the top of the door so when they threw it open, it would dump on them. Some crap was mixed in there to. Once they went out to the showers, we drew on their cabin with almost sharpie, but decided to just use washable markers. They just finished washing it. Is that all I have to say?"

My eyes were wide, and I sniffed dramatically. Flinging myself at Naruto, I give him a bone breaking hug, screaming, "I TAUGHT YOU SO WELL!"

As the rest of the cabin was finally able to pull me off with an offering of chocolate (thanks Choji!) we started talking casually. Just like old times.

Turns out that the song that they were singing for the competition was 'Hello Fascination' by Breathe Carolina… I'll make sure that I wear some ear plugs when Kiba does the scream-o part.

I told them that I wouldn't spill our song unless they gave me more of that candy, and promise not to attack Sasuke anymore. I don't want two of my best friends splitting up and me having to bounce between Duck Butt and ADHD… That'd just stink.

000000

Today is tomorrow… Wait, lemme try again. So, yesterday passed on normally, and everyone was still pumped for the contest four weeks away. We never get pumped for something so long away… we all really must like money! I also told my cabin what had happened to Naruto and the rest of the gang. They were pretty happy for the new ideas for pranks, and I couldn't blame them.

Getting ready, I hop out from Tsunade's cabin like every day, but stop right in my tracks. My mouth was off its hinges, eyes wide in shock.

This was not good at all.

Sprinting to Cabin Three, I burst through the doors and point at the direction of Cabin One in a complete panic. They quickly followed and we all stood there, starring up in awe.

"Holy beeeeeeeep…"
