Welll I know I say this every time, but sorry it took so long. I was trying to make this longer, and just have the whole first day as one whole chapter, but then I realized that would be ridiculously long, and would take me forever. So now you get this part first. Sorry. :(

Also, I want to thank anyone who's reviewed, and especially those who have reviewed like... every chapter. I love you. n.n

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the animes mentioned in this.

'Stay calm. Stay calm. We're probably almost there. We had to have been driving for at least two hours. We'll be there soon...'

Sasuke had to take his eyes off the busy highway for one second, to glance down at the glowing numbers over the stereo, which would confirm to him that they were indeed almost there. Or not.

'...30 minutes.'

He reached down and tapped the screen, hoping it would suddenly change to something at least a little closer to what he had been hoping for. Maybe it was broken. Or maybe Naruto messed it up when he rode in there last time. Oh fuck it. Who was he kidding, as if he was that positive. It had been 30 minutes. 30 minutes of Hell. 30 minutes of loud, obnoxious, bad smelling, personal space invading Hell.

"Thankth again, Naruto, for givin' me a ride. I theriouthly couldn't believe the whole damn buth wath FULL! I gueth Otakon'th getting really popular."

"Yea, thanks. Oh, and let me just tell you, I think it's absolutely ADORABLE that you guys are going as L and Light. It's like a dream come true..."

Takeshi rolled his eyes at the starry-eyed fangirl he was forced to share a back seat with. What she thought was so "adorable" about that asshole dressing up as one of the coolest anime characters ever and being chained to their friend, he wasn't sure.

"Yea, Ino... We know. You've told us 14 times," he mumbled out the last part, afraid Ino might take that offensively and jump into the front seat to beat him. "And no problem, Taka! ...Even though technically it's Sasuke that's giving you the ride. And I say that because he just gave me a dirty look, like I was trying to take his credit or something. Psh... attention whore." Naruto rolled his eyes and looked out the window, smiling in satisfaction, as he knew Sasuke probably didn't exactly love being called a whore.

"I hope you don't think, just because I'm driving, that I can't come over there and kick your ass."

The blonde quickly flipped around in his seat to stick his tongue out at Sasuke, not caring how immature he looked doing it. "Yea right, not unless you want to run into that truck over there and fly out the windshield. And you might think that would be a good payback for me, but I doubt you'd want to ruin your pretty face."

"Well, as long as I'm taking you down with me."

"WHAT? You're insane! Pull the car over and let me out, you damn kamikaze!"

"Just think... The two hottest guys I know, dressed as the best yaoi couple there is. Chained together... All hot and-"

"Ew, Ino Thut UP! Why the Hell do I have to thare a back theat with HER?! Hey Naruto, how about you guys thwitch? I'm thure Thathuke wouldn't mind, thinth you're annoying him THOO badly."

"You know, Naruto, I am so glad you got those low-lights. I mean, it's actually sort of pathetic, but still, you look WAY more like Light."

"Yea, we've heard about 20 thouthand timeth!"

"Oh, thut up, thtupid."

"What did you jutht thay?!"

"I thaid-"

"Are you looking for a fight, bitch?!"

"EXCUSE me? Sasuke, Takeshi just called me a bitch! Pull over so we can kick him out! Better yet, keep going, but can you unlock the doors?"

Only a few more hours, Sasuke tried to tell himself. But if he could barely get through thirty minutes without wanting to unlock the doors and kick them all out, he wasn't feeling so assured with his inner "only a few hours" talk. But hey, if he kicked a few of them out before they got there, would that really be the worst thing in the world?

Oh well; it's not like it could get any worse, he figured.

(one hour later)

"625 bottles of Ramune on the wall, 625 bottles of Ramune! We take one down, pass it around-!...Umm..." Naruto sighed and slumped into his seat, his blonde head hitting the headrest exasperatedly. "Yea, I lost track again."

"I lost track 20 minutes ago." Ino held up her hand and blew some of the dust off her nails, then picked the file back up to start on the other hand. She frowned as she noticed some nail dust land on her lap, but quickly dusted it onto the floor of Sasuke's car and got back to work.

"Eh, it'th ok, Naruto. I brought my new Chobits thee-d, wanna lithen to that?"

"No. He doesn't."

"Well I wathn't athking you, wath I?"

"Well Naruto told me to tell you that he doesn't want to. Oh, and he also told me to tell you that this is my car, and that I don't like you."

Naruto's eyes widened and he looked over at the driver, raising an eyebrow at him. It was pretty obvious that Takeshi wasn't Sasuke's favorite person in the world, but Sasuke wasn't usually so blatant about it.

'He looks pretty pissed...'

"Hey, what maketh you think you can talk to me like that?! And I know for a fact that Naruto didn't thay all thothe things, becauthe I'm thitting right here, and I have extheptional hearing. Tho I think you need to-"

"Yea, Taka, it's ok, I don't really feel like listening to it right now anyway."

Takeshi moved his head to the side to look at the boy sitting in the seat in front of him, hoping to get some sort of explanation. Not getting one, he turned and scowled at Sasuke, then plopped back against his seat, his glasses slipping down the ridge of his nose a little. He pushed them back up, before crossing his arms and looking away.

"...Ino, did you make Sakura take the bus?"

"Huh?" Ino pulled out the earphones she had in now, looking up at Naruto and waiting for him to repeat his question.

"Didn't you say you were making Sakura come this year?"

"Oh! Yea, I guess she took the bus. ...I don't think I told her I was going with you guys though. Whoops."

"So you forced her to come, then made her ride on a bus with a bunch of people she doesn't know, while you get to ride in an air conditioned SUV, with three of your closest friends." Naruto shot a glare at Sasuke, to let him know he didn't miss the sarcastic cough.

"Yea... Eh, she'll get over it." She shrugged and put her earphones back in.

"Thpeaking of, Thathuke, what ith with the Eth-UV? What are you, a thoccer mom?"

"...Naruto, do something with that, before I do something with it myself."

Well, they'd made it, and with the loss of only one nail file(which Sasuke had thrown out the window halfway there), and maybe a few brain cells. But Sasuke had plenty to spare, and any lost by Naruto probably weren't ever planning on actually working anyway. So, for the most part, all was well.

"AHH, I can't believe we're here!" Naruto burst out of the passenger door a second before the car had really stopped, and dropped out rather ungracefully, before catching his footing and looking around. Sasuke himself had to admit he was a little excited to be there. Well, maybe not excited. But he wasn't dreading it nearly as much as he thought he would; mostly because he was just happy to get out of that car.

"Ohh my GOD. I can't believe the club raised enough money for us to stay here! I bet they have continental room service! And jacuzzi baths! And-"

"And we're tharing it with theven other people." Takeshi snickered as Ino's face turned from one of excitement, to one of pure devastation. She slowly turned toward him, not wanting to believe her ears. But alas, it was true.

Naruto still stood in the spot he had landed when he'd jumped out of the car, continuing to gaze around at the city, and all the many cosplayers that littered it, while Sasuke handed his keys to a man in a dark green uniform. Naruto finally snapped out of it and ran over to Sasuke, thinking maybe he was getting mugged or something.

"Why are you giving that guy your keys?!"

"We're parked in valet parking for a reason, idiot."

"...What the hell is ballet parking?"

Sasuke only took a second or two to give him the 'you're completely hopeless' look, before rolling his eyes and turning to walk into the hotel. "Come on, we need to check in."

They all followed Sasuke through the glass revolving doors, ooh-ing at all the shiny gold outline to it. Then ooh-ing again, as they stepped inside and spread out, to explore the lobby. Sasuke, on the other hand, walked straight to the front desk to get them their room keys and have their luggage taken up.

"Look, a water fountain!"

"Oh my gosh, free mints! And look at these pretty flowers!"

"Look at all thethe boxeth of tithueth jutht thitting around! I bet they're free! Guyth, let'th grab ath many ath we can!"

Sasuke walked up with two cards in his hand, to find Naruto and Ino staring at Takeshi, who had a box of tissues in his hand.

"...I wonder if you can swim in the fountain."

"No, Naruto. You can't."

Naruto's face fell, and he muttered a disappointed "damn" as he looked over to the fountain with longing eyes.

"There's a pool anyway, why the hell would you want to swim in a fountain? Weirdo..."

Suddenly all their eyes lit up and Sasuke backed away a little, wondering what he did.

"THERE'S A POOL?!"

"Do you think they have free thower capth there?"

"...No. Naruto, here," he handed him something that looked like a credit card, then shoved an identical one in his pocket. "Let's go."

"Wait, what's this?"

"It's your room key."

"...Sasuke. This isn't a key, it's a... card of some sort. I think you handed me the wrong-Ah!" Sasuke grabbed the collar of Naruto's t-shirt and yanked him toward the elevator, then pushed him ahead and followed him. If he was already doing all this shit for him, he at least wanted to have time to order some breakfast before they had to venture out into the world of anime freaks.

Ino quickly picked up her purple suitcase and slung her other bags over her shoulder. "Wait, wait, we're coming."

Sasuke rolled his dark eyes and turned around to face them, still walking slowly toward the elevator.

"No, you stay here and wait for the bus to get here. We got our own room."

"WHAT!?"

"What, you thought I was sharing a room with seven other people?" Sasuke almost had to laugh at that. As if. Didn't they know he was rich and didn't like them? He stepped into the elevator with Naruto, leaving the other two to wait in the lobby. Sasuke pulled the room key out and examined it for any signs of what type of room it went to. He'd ordered a suite, but apparently there weren't any regular suites left by the time he'd called. So he just asked for the biggest room they had left and somehow ended up paying even more money than they'd said a suite would be. What a rip off.

"Damn, this better be worth my 700 bucks a night..."

Sasuke looked around the packed elevator, noticing Naruto wasn't standing next to him anymore. He started to worry he'd forgotten him downstairs, until his eyes landed on two heads of spiky hair.

"Wow..." Naruto gently ran his hand down a gigantic wooden sword that Sasuke couldn't believe he hadn't noticed before. "That's awesome... I can't believe you made it yourself. What'd you use, spray paint?"

"Yea. Five cans. Took me two weeks to make."

"No way! So is it solid, or-"

"Naruto."

"Huh?" Naruto blinked and looked over at Sasuke, wondering why he was interrupting his extremely important conversation.

"Oh, here's my floor. See ya."

"Bye, Cloud!" Naruto grinned and waved as the guy he'd been talking to dragged his sword out of the elevator, then walked back over to Sasuke, smile still covering his face.

"Was that cool or what?"

What was he supposed to say? 'Yea, I love watching you talk to other semi-attractive guys while I stand here alone, talking to myself in public.' Yet, Sasuke had the feeling if he did say that, Naruto wouldn't recognize it was sarcasm, and he would assume Sasuke really did like that. Which... he didn't.

"Ok... this is our room." Sasuke reached into his pocket for the room key, as Naruto watched a few girls in skimpy costumes at the end of the hall. The other chose to ignore it, and slipped his card through the slot, being too curious about the room to really care. He walked in, leaving Naruto out in the hall.

Naruto grinned and started waving his hand around nervously, in what they thought might me some sort of greeting, when they noticed him staring. They giggled a little and waved back, making Naruto's day, before walking into their room.

"Oh, yea... I'm good. Oh!" He suddenly remembered Sasuke's existence, and went to run into the room, but only ran face-first into Sasuke's back.

"Oww! Jerk! Why the hell are you just standing here?! ...Hey. Helloo?" Naruto moved in front of Sasuke to wave his hand in front of his face, but got distracted by a much more interesting sight before he could.

"Oh my God! AWESOME! It's like... the anime suite!"

He looked around the room, his wide, blue eyes scanning every piece of red furniture, heart shaped pillow, and champagne glass in site. "Wow, I didn't even know they made these..."

"Whoa, Sakura. What happened to your hair? And ew, you smell like an Italian sub. Gross..."

Takeshi snickered, while Ino covered her nose and backed away, waving away the air she considered unfit to be around her. Sakura just stood there silently, afraid that if she even tried to say anything, she would lose it and kill someone.

"Gee, Thakura, you thmell like you've been on an un-air conditioned buth with thirty people on it for the patht three hourth."

That was all she could take. She let out a loud sob, and buried her face in her hands, running into the bathroom in the lobby. She could kill them later, but bad hair was just too much to take.

"Ohh, yea, I forgot Sakura's hair is naturally wavy. I guess it blew up on the bus. Poor her..."

"Are you gonna follow her? The theemed pretty upthet."

"Nah, Lee can handle it."

"Sakura, wait!"

They watched him jump off the bus and spin through the doors, then run across the lobby to go after Sakura. "I think your hair looks beautiful!"

"Did he just run into the womenth room?"

Ino heaved a sigh, and turned to go greet everyone else who had just gotten off the bus. "He did."

"This is the fucking Honeymoon suite, you idiot!"

Naruto's eyes blinked open and he sat up from his place on the giant, silky, heart shaped bed. He propped his elbows on the white pillows that were shaped the exact same way the bed(and everything else in the room) were shaped, and stared at Sasuke with a raised eyebrow and tilted head. Honeymoon suite? What the heck was that?

"...Come again?"

Sasuke wondered how anyone could be so oblivious as to sprawl themselves out on a heart shaped bed with-...were those rose petals? Yup, they were rose petals. With rose petals and silky sheets, then say something like "come again" and not think anything weird about the situation. Dear God, how was he supposed to deal with this all weekend? He had to look away before Naruto noticed his uneasiness, so he took the opportunity to look around the ugly, yet huge suite.

"It's like..." he yelled from the other room. He sighed when he saw a giant champagne glass tub sitting in the living room area. 'Does God hate me?'

"It's a suite people on their honeymoon get."

"...OHH."

Meanwhile, in the lobby, Ino was taking the opportunity to stuff every free mint into her purse as possible, while the man at the desk was on the phone.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but... Well, I know. And I apologize for that... I wasn't aware that no one had informed you of the details of the room you would be getting." He sighed and rolled his eyes tiredly, but took a moment to glare at the blonde girl with her hand dug deep into the vase full of mints, before turning around and getting back to his conversation.

"Mr. Uchiha, we're all very sorry, and I do understand how that would be... awkward. But the Honeymoon suite is the only vacant room we have right now." Ino spit a few mints that she had decided to store in her mouth after running out of room, onto the floor. Say what?

"It's really not so bad... It does come with breakfast every morning, and champagne, and even the champagne glass jacuzzi. ...No, I don't see why you would have any need for that. ...Yes. Ok, well once again, we're very sorry. If there's anything you need-...Ok. Ok, enjoy your stay." He hung the phone up and let out a huge sigh, not really taking any mind of any mint robbers anymore. Even if they were staring blankly into space with the creepiest look ever plastered across their face. Like they were thinking something like...

'...This weekend is going to be the best damn weekend of my whole entire life.'

Ok, the next chapter will have them actually at the convention. I just couldn't bring myself to write all that, without it taking forever. But look at it like this, the next chapter can be like... a Valentines Day present. n.n

Also, I would LOVE art of Sasuke and Naruto in their costumes, but if I don't get any, I can always just... draw some stick figures. But if you by some chance had some great desire to draw that, let's just say I wouldn't complain.
