"So Naruto how many of your friends are going to be at the skate park?" Zero asked

"Lets see...Kiba,... Shikamaru, Choji,... Gaara, Neji and Sasuke. Counting us that makes eight."

"Wow, so you have a lot of friends then."

"Yeah don't worry I think you'll get along with them."

"So do you got a lot of friends Hinata?"

"...Ummm..yes I do, but I... I'm kind of the quietest out of all of them."

"Yeah she is" Naruto laughed and put his arm around her "but I love her anyway." Hinata blushed like mad and hugged him back.

"Oh please, would you two take it outsi...never mind."

"What" Naruto laughed "is there a problem with having a girlfriend?"

"I wouldn't know, I never had one."

"You serious?"

"Yeah, we've been moving around all the time I never had the chance to be in a serious relationship. I'm hoping we can stay long enough to at least unpack all the boxes." He shoved his free hand in his pocket and sighed.

"Well...a couple of my friends are single...in case your interested." Hinata offered

"No, no I couldn't do that. Thank you though."

The walked into an area paved with smooth concrete with half pipes, full pipes, and plenty of rails.

"Hey Naruto, your late." A tall skinny kid who had his hair tied up was standing with a group of other boys.

"Sorry Shikamaru, I lost track of time."

"Whose the new kid?" A heavy set boy with a red ball cap on asked

"Oh this is Zero, he just moved in next door to me." He turned to him "These are my friends Shikamaru, Choji, Gaara, Sasuke, Neji and...hey wheres Kiba?"

Shikamaru pointed to the half pipe behind him and saw a boy with short brown hair, nose grinding along the top.

"About time you got here." he said getting off his board

"Hey give me a break man, I set my clock too late."

"So are you ready for our little competition Naruto?" Sasuke mumbled

"What?" Zero looked at Naruto suspicously

"Oh yeah, were gonna have a little skateboard trick contest today. I guess I forgot. Were having the girls judge."

"The...girls?" he gulped

"M..my friends." Hinata said quietly

Naruto looked around "Hey there they are!" He pointed over to a group of girls walking to them...
