A/N: The inspiration for this story came to me when I was at the Bahamas. I've been meaning to write this for awhile, seeing as I got back 2 or 3 weeks ago. I should warn you though, I think this chapter is going to be short, since it's kinda like an intro. So read on, and let me know how it is! Speaking will be in "Insert words here." And thinking will be in 'Insert thought here'

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and I also don't own the country of the Bahamas. Don't worry, I'm not planning on taking over either of those two (at least not yet).

The Get Away Trip

Chapter 1

A steaming pot of ramen boiled on the stove as an exhausted pink haired ninja waited for the noodles to cook. Sakura Haruno had spent a long day at the hospital, learning new medical techniques and tending to the ill. Now she was paying the price. Her limbs were sore from all the paperwork and chakra usage, and her head hurt from all the nagging patients.

'Come on…hurry up and cook already!' Sakura hissed silently to the stove. Naturally it didn't reply, and Sakura let out a sigh and pushed some bubblegum hair strands behind her ears. Her frizzy hair looked like it had been run over by a steamroller; it hung in sweaty clumps on top of her head. It didn't help her looks that Sakura had thrown on an old pair of faded pajamas as soon as she got home.

It seemed like the only good thing about today was that is was nearly over. The clock hanging above the stove said that it was already 9:15 at night. When at last the ramen was ready to be consumed, Sakura piled the juicy noodles high on a plate and shoved them into her mouth. A loud knock rang out from behind her apartment door.

"Sakura, I have a message for you." A muffled voice said.

"The door's open." Sakura replied, feeling too lazy to get up and answer the visitor in person. Her former sensei, Kakashi Hatake, strode inside. Sakura was surprised there wasn't a book in her teacher's hand.

"Sakura, I was-" Kakashi stopped and stared at his student's poor state. "…I was talking with the Hokage, and she gave me a letter addressed to you. But before that, why the heck do you look so…so…hobo-ish?" Kakashi, knowing full well that he had just invented a new adjective, waited for a reply.

"I've been so overworked lately, that I haven't had time for relaxing and grooming." Sakura explained, her cheeks slightly red from the embarrassing yet accurate comment. The white haired teacher nodded; he too understood the feeling of to much work.

"Well, then I think you're going to enjoy this letter." Kakashi handed over a white envelope. There were pictures of coconut trees on it. Sakura, looking at the envelope with puzzlement, stuffed a few forkfuls of ramen into her mouth before opening the letter up. Her mouth dropped open, causing the food remains to spill out over the table.

"Oh my, I can't believe it!" Sakura let out a cheer of delight. Kakashi raised an eyebrow, clearly wanting to read the letter. Sakura began to read aloud:

Dear Ms./Mrs./Mr. Sakura Haruno

"I forgot all about entering that stupid contest! Naruto and I were looking at a newspaper, and when we saw the contest ad Naruto automatically grabbed a pen and filled it out. He convinced me to fill one out too, although I didn't really think I'd win." Sakura hugged the note to her chest.

"Lady Tsunade thought that was what the letter was about. She told me to let you know that you must be at her office by 10:00 tomorrow morning with all your things packed and ready to go. You and your date will then departure." Kakashi let out a farewell and left, leaving Sakura to frantically run around her apartment and attempt to get everything packed. Any bit of sleepiness Sakura had felt earlier was gone.

'I wonder who's going with me?' Sakura thought to herself as she starting digging in the back of her dresser for a swim suite.

A/N: I warned you, didn't I? I said this was going to be short. But I promise that the next chapters will all be much, much longer! I guess you know who Sakura's partner is going to be, if you read the paring and the summary. Bet you just can't wait to read the fluffy goodness I have planned XD. So send me a review and let me know how if this fanfic's good or not!
