My Trip To... (ShikaIno)

Greetings

"Welcome home," a cast member greets the bus load of high school graduates. He's got a pair of Mickey Mouse plush hands on as he waved to the crowd.

Ino's smile get even wider at the cast member. She always does feel at home, coming back to Disney World. "Thanks!" she answers and quickly the cast member is smiling back at her. It would be hard to ignore that he was sort of really cute. "Can I try on the plush hands?" She couldn't help but want to talk him up. Just because her eyes were usually on Sasuke didn't mean she was blind!

"Of course, you can," the male almost eagerly replied as he moved to take off the hand. "Here-"

"Ino, Sakura is asking for you," Shikamaru mumbled and interrupted with his hands firmly in his pockets. He didn't give the cast member a glance.

Ino had just lifted one of the plush hands into her own. "Oh. Can you tell her I'll be a second?" she asked

Shikamaru shrugged. "Yeah." But he didn't actually make any move to do so.

Ino gave a huff in annoyance. It was so Shikamaru to move at a snail's pace. She didn't know how she was going to make it through the whole week with her rushing style of taking on the parks. They only had a week to do everything!

"Fine. I'll deal with it now," Ino grumbled before handing back the plush Mickey Mouse hands to the cast member. She made sure to catch a peek at his name tag before she did though. "Thanks, Rori anyway," Ino smiled. "I'll have to check them out later."

"I'll be here," Rori smiled as he graciously accepted back the toy prop, though he did give a side glance to Shikamaru who still stood beside her. Ino gave a small wave before moving back towards the group with Shikamaru at her side.

"What is it, Sakura?" she asked her friend with a little huff. She was a bit bummed she hadn't been able to talk to the cute cast member for longer.

"Where are all our bags?" Naruto answered instead with panic raising his voice.

"They'll show up in our rooms later, idiot," Ino declared before crossing her arms. "I can't believe you interrupted my conversation with the cute guy for this. Didn't you guys read the pamphlet I gave all you guys?"

Their blank faces were answer enough.

"Really guys?" Was she the only one who had researched before coming?

"I can see why you've talked about this place so much!" Sakura commented as she sat down with a tray that had her chicken Alfredo on it. "We haven't even stepped into the parks yet and I'm already impressed!"

Ino sat down with her own tray that had a chicken Caesar salad on it. "Just wait until we do tomorrow, you won't believe the fun we'll have," Ino promised. Their airplane had landed in the afternoon and by the time they had arrived to the Disney resort it was just before dinner time. They would finally get to the parks tomorrow. Today would be a slower day of supper and maybe the pool afterwards.

"The parks are so fun, exciting and even romantic!"

Sakura raised an eyebrow at Ino's last word. "Romantic, really? You do remember Disney World is still a theme park, right?"

"Yes! But you haven't seen the parks! At least not with your eyes!" Ino had forced her to look at multiple pictures on Instagram with her. "There's even a spot which is very popular for people to get engaged at! Right in front of the castle! It's the perfect spot for me and Sasuke!"

Sakura coughed on her first forkful of pasta. "Wait! What? You two are not getting engaged! You're not even dating!"

"No! But we will be! By the end of this fun week at Disney, he'll have fallen for me and we'll have our first kiss in front of Cinderella's castle!"

"In one week?" This was Sasuke they were talking about...

"Yes! One week! I don't need that much time for him to fall for me!"

"You've had all of high school, Ino..."

"Yes but now I have Disney magic on my side," Ino declared with a huff.

"Don't tell me that's why you spear headed this place for our Graduation trip..." Shikamaru dropped his tray down on the table with them.

"Hey! No! This is also a super fun place for all of us to bond over too!" Ino argued. The romantic place for a first kiss was just an added bonus.

"The food is pretty good here," Chouji admitted as he stuffed a cookie in his mouth after sitting down with them.

"Except you plan to stalk Sasuke the whole trip," Shikamaru frowned. "I don't see much bonding time included in that."

"You mean you guys aren't going to help me woo Sasuke?"

"No."

"But!"

"No." This time they all joined in.
