I know it's short, but I couldn't really think of what else to write for this chapter.

A Maelstrom's Venture

Chapter 25

What Goes Down Must Come Up

Venture Compound

It was a few days after the whole Day Camp thing, along with the twins "visit" and everything, but it turned out that Brok and Sindri had a hand in the twins being able to visit Naruto and Triana, since the blacksmith brothers had crafted a pair of blue crystalized earrings for the girls, where after Brok hammered away at them to get them into the right shape, where Sindri then took over, making the earrings into beautifully crafted designs.

Where both brothers then used their special ability to travel to England and set up a Gate Realm Door for them, where once the girls were close to the Door, their blue crystal earrings will glow and open a passage to wherever they wanted to go, but due to the size of the crystals, they could only choose one route, which wasn't difficult for them to choose the route to Naruto's own Gate, which is how they were able to travel such a long distance and back in a short amount of time, since the gate had acted like a "Fast-Travel" for them, meaning that if Naruto wanted to, he could now use the Gate to visit the twins as well.

With Triana having her own pair of earrings, since she too would want to visit Nancy and Drew from time to time, which will allow her to hang out with the twins, along with gossip about what they've been upto.

The twins returning to their home, being thankful for not having to worry about the whole "jet-lag" thing, since it was instant travel, though obviously they still had to run around in the Gate Realm for a bit, just to get back home, but that was basically a jog or a brisk walk.

Anyway, everyone was doing their own thing, with Brock and Rusty taking an old giant drill out of the hanger, while the boys were doing whatever it was that they did, as for Naruto he was doing his weekly coffee run, meeting up with Sheila, though when he saw her, his eyes widened, "Whoa! I'm sure the Monarch was pleased about that outfit!." Naruto couldn't help but make such a commenty.

This seemed to please Sheila, "Do you really think so, I was worried about it showing too much of my ass or something." She gave a casual display, allowing Naruto to have a look at her, since she trusts Naruto not to do anything inappropriate to her, also, she trusts his judgement considering how many girls Naruto has been with.

Naruto gave a quick critical look, "Hmm, I would say, yes it looks good, though you may need to trim the frilly wings, otherwise they might get tangled in your feet when you're standing still or something, I would also suggest some sort of cross bar over your chest otherwise your girls might slip-out at some point, maybe add a little bit of armour in some parts, just for a little protection, as for your ass, I'd say it's fine as is, though again maybe a bit of armour for added protection around that area, but make it easily removable so you can still have some "fun" whenever you want." Naruto offered his ideas for her new outfit, since they didn't really talked about it when the Venture group mixed the door numbers with her's and Hatred, even then Rusty was too busy trying to "flirt" with her at the door for Naruto to notice.

It wasn't long before it was Naruto's turn to share what he's been up to, so after explaining the Day Camp to Sheila, explaining that it was a "get-rich-quick" scheme that Rusty came up with to get some extra money in, with Sheila now understanding why the whole Day Camp thing had happened, he even told her about the whole gorilla experience and how the punk teen had pretty much pushed his dad's buttons, followed by Naruto, himself, pretty much trolling the boy with his axe and everything, though also pointing out his surprise of Dean exploding and attacking the rude punk, for said punk's rudeness.

Which also surprised Sheila, since she never thought that Dean had it in him to be so aggressive towards someone, "Well I guess what they say is true, it's always the quiet ones, since you never know when they'll do something outside their norm." Sheila replied to such a thing, with Naruto nodding in agreement too.

The two then decide to just have a day to themselves, seeing as there was always something happening in their lives, they spent their day walking around, playing a few games at an arcade, though Sheila's outfit did make a few of the nerds gain nosebleeds, since every now and again she would bend down as though she was picking something up, just to tease the boys, "Aright Sheila, that's enough, I doubt your husband would like you getting such attention, considering how jealous he can be." Naruto soon stated, causing the boys to groan at such a loss.

"Alright Naruto, I had my fun." But when she talked, a few of the boys glasses cracked, where they then quickly ran away to the toilets for "some reason."

Where just as the two have exited the arcade, both began laughing their heads off, mostly because of the nerdy boys reaction to her voice, with Naruto yelling into the arcade, "And that what happens when you smoke at a young age!" Causing Sheila to snort at Naruto basically using her to make the idiots in the arcade to either quit smoking or not start it right from the get-go, but she can see why since she did smoke in order to calm her nerves, and considering her husband, it was understandable why she smokes.

Anyway, they then travelled around some more, with both picking out clothes that they liked or different outfits to try on just for fun, where at some point they both bumped into Triana and Kim, who were out and about, enjoying themselves as well, where the girls then joined up with Naruto and Sheila, unfortunately that was the start of Naruto becoming the women's packmule, with him making his frustration known to them, but they just enjoyed his plight and found it funny.

They soon came across the food court, which allowed Naruto a break from carrying their shopping, followed with some idle chatter, with Kim stating how Dean was a nice and everything, but feels more like a brother, or a puppy that keeps running around her leg, even after Triana told her about his explosive episode and everything, causing the group to understand where she's coming from.

It wasn't long until the mall they were in was closing for the day, so Naruto helped Sheila out by putting her stuff in her car, where she then helped the girls out by giving Kim a ride home, with Naruto being thankful considering he only had his motorcycle at the moment and wouldn't be able to take Kim to her house.

With that, both vehicles parted ways, with Sheila asking Kim about her supervillain offer, but Kim had politely declined it, stating that Naruto had told her the trouble and stress such a thing could cause, which Sheila can agree to and relented, though jokingly cursed Naruto for ruining her plot to gain another possible villain, with the two laughing at such a thing.

As for Naruto and Triana, when they returned back to the compound, they were hit by a revolting smell, causing them to quickly turn around and head to a motel so that they could scrub themselves clean from the smell, with Naruto using his wrist communicator to get in touch with his dad to find out what had happened during his day off, with Brock explaining the whole thing about there being an underground society of Jonas obsessed people, with all of them calling themselves Rusty, making Naruto quickly stop his father, "WAIT! WAIT! NOOOPPPEE! I do not want to hear about that, I just want to know about the god awful smell on the lawn!"

"Alright, alright, long story short, an A.I. activated, that Jonas had created, where it planned to launch a nuke, only it turns out those underground crazies had crapped inside the nuke so much that it didn't launch or explode and spilled the shit all over the lawn, luckily the shit didn't mutate from the nuke radiation so that's a plus, also, I actually found someone the size of an ant there as well, who happened to be an old friend of Jonas who got left behind, so there's that, we're planning on sending him to his other old Venture Team friends so they could look after him, also we're using an old recording of Jonas on the A.I. so she doesn't cause anymore trouble later." His father finished explaining.

Hearing this, Naruto only had this to say, "Wow! What a crap day." Where both tried not to laugh at the stupid joke, but they couldn't help themselves and just laughed at how ridiculous the whole thing was.

"Anyway, I'm gonna stay at a motel for now, until all of that has cleared up dad, I'm with Triana as well, so, you know..." Naruto explained his stopping out, while not having to finish what he was saying about Triana.

"Ye~ah, that might be for the best Naruto, we'll be, ur, "fertilizing" the lawn for the next few days or so, so you're better off wherever you are, and you can bet that once it's "settled" we'll be doing a deep scrub and sanitization after that." Brock states, causing both to wince that their families luck, "Also I won't say anything about Triana to her father, but at least make sure she gives Orpheus a call, just so he knows where she is and he can explain what's happened to her, that way it'll keep you out of his "bad book" of being alone with his daughter, ya know."

"Oh don't worry about that, she already called him while I was in the shower to scrub off the smell, no doubt she told him that I dropped her off at her friend's place for the next few days and everything." Naruto explained, getting his father to nod in understanding, where they both hung up, though Naruto then quickly called the twins, making sure that they knew not to come around due to such a thing, while telling them that either he or Triana will give them the "all clear" message when it's cleared up, seeing as their mother and bodyguardess would have to be completely "nose-blind" to not be able to smell such a horrid stench on the girls.

With that, both Naruto and Triana end up enjoying their next few days together without any trouble from the Venture Group, or her father's group, meaning that after their few days "together" she'll be limping for a while, but she decided to tell her father that she was on her period and needed some bed rest, and as any father knows, the man kept clear of "that" awkwardness for a day or two, while making sure she at least has some food.

Which as luck would have it, it was her period day, with both her and Naruto being thankful for that since they didn't want to explain the whole "thing" to her father.

The End.

I decided to explain how the twins had managed to get to the Venture Compound and everything, as well as skip the whole A.I. and Crap Nuke as well, since I figured Naruto needed a normal day to himself, while also discussing Sheila's new outfit choice and his ideas for possibly improving it.

I also figured that Kim and Sheila would have a little chat about the whole "villain career" thing that Sheila had offered as well. lol

I Do Not Own Naruto Or The Venture Bros.
