I swear, this story is trying to become non-crack. The last chapter wasn't very good, in my opinion. Probably because I was trying to force Sasuke into a roll he just isn't suited for. Sakura and Naruto were very willing to cooperate.
Also, has anyone else thought that Ember was being too calm? Or she was plotting something?
Usual applies: Don't own either.
Be warned: Lots of crack ahead.
-----------------
"Gai-sensei! Gai-sensei!"
Lee's frantic voice cuts into Gai's thoughts and he turns to face his favorite student. Confusion flickering across his face as he stares at the dark green pony with orange stockings and messy black hair. "Lee?"
"Look, Gai-sensei! We're ponies!"
"HOW MARVELOUS! NOW WE CAN TAKE TO THE SKIES AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW MUCH WE ARE IN THE SPRINGTIME OF OUR YOUTH!"
"...." Neji stares at his teammates as they run in circles around each other, attempting to fly. "That would only work if you had wings."
Skidding to a halt at Neji's words, Gai falls flat on his face. Giant tears slide down his face as he shouts. "How horrible! We are earth-bound, Lee! No flight for us!"
"Make it stop." Tenten's voice comes from behind Neji and he glances over at her, silently taking in the black pony staring at him. Ignoring Lee's voice mingling with Gai's as they embrace, tears flowing freely from both of them. The sound of waves doesn't even make either of them twitch like it use to.
"How?"
"I don't know! Push them off the cliff! Just make them stop." Her voice holds a near pleading whine.
Turning his head back around, he stares at the two green ponies with matching orange legs while in Gai's case, they're leg warmers still. "Alright."
"COME LEE! We must embrace our destiny!" Bounding to the top of the cliff, Gai strikes a Good Guy Pose #46 on his hindlegs. Lee cheers on the older man...ehh pony as he tries to mimic him. "WHAT A LOVELY VIEW LEE! LOOK AT HOW NATURE IS COMPLETELY UNCORRUPTED!" His voice rings out as he goes into Good Guy Pose # 79, created to show his Eternal Rival that there are differences in his poses.
Heading up the side of the cliff, Neji decides to just push both of them and leave it at that, doubting that either would suffer many injuries from how hard their skills are. Approaching, he gazes at Gai carefully to decide the best way of going about it before just shoving him right off the edge with his foreleg. Lee's shrieks turn fearful and angry as he bellows for the man.
"GAI-SENSEI!! NEJI LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!!"
Turning to Lee, Neji silently swings his head to the side, knocking him over as well. Gazing after him, he watches as Lee and further down, Gai-sensei, tumble head over rump until they are barely visible.
"NEJIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Lee's voice echos as he goes tumbling over the edge, fading as he gets further away.
He stares down at the small figures below. Nodding satisfied that his goal has been reached, he backs up and turns, looking for Tenten. Who has stuck her head in a pile of leaves, her back end sticking out as she tries desperately to block out everything.
"........" He sighs and makes his wave to her. "Tenten."
"They're gone?" Her voice is muffled by the leaves surrounding her head and most of her shoulders.
"Yes."
The pile of leaves shiver and shift, Tenten's head emerging and she pushes herself upright, shaking the leaves out of her hair. "I wonder where we are."
"Ponyland."
Both of them spin and topple over at the unexpected voice. Ember grins as they both glare at her. Her eyes flicker to the cliff then back to them. "Did you enjoy tossing your teacher over the cliff?"
"....."
"Who are you?" Cutting in, Tenten steps forward until she is shoulder to shoulder with Neji. Watching the pink pony warily.
"My name is Ember. This is my home."
"How do we get back to our's?" Her next question comes racing out before Ember can say anything more.
Sadness flickers through her eyes as she shrugs her shoulders. "I wish I could say. The portal that Kakashi's team used has closed. Mister Moochic doesn't have any fairy dust left and the way Kakashi and Iruka returned to Konoha was unexpected. I tried to recreate that method but nothing happened. I believe that it was due to Iruka winking both him and Kakashi back to Konoha subconsciously. As I'm not a unicorn, I don't have the ability to wink."
"Kakashi-sensei was here?"
Nodding, Ember mentions the others that also was brought through. "As well as Sakura, Naruto, Sakura, Genma and Raidou."
"Why so many?" Neji's wariness increases as he stares at her.
Opening her mouth to answer him, a shout drowns her out.
"BEHOLD, MY LOVELY STUDENTS! WE HAVE RETURNED." Gai and Lee, both battered and covered in cuts, blood and dirt come bounding up the hill and strike identical Dramatic Poses.
"......" Ember regards them tentatively before whispering at Tenten and Neji. "Are they always like this?"
"Always."
Disbelief on her face as she claps a hoof to her face and exhales. "Why do I have to be stuck with the weird ones? Why must the weirdest of the lot be stuck here?"
"Stuck? What do you mean, stuck?!" Tenten whips her head around to fix a glare on Ember.
"Exactly what it sounded like. Currently, there is no way to send you home. If one or two of you had been unicorns, I would suggest trying to wink. All four of you are Earthlings. Like I am. We can't wink in or out nor can we fly like the pegasus or flutter ponies." A pause then she continues dryly. "If I had a way to send you home, I most certainly would. My sanity is important to me."
"Hah! Try dealing with them daily for four years." Letting out a laugh, Tenten retorts. "Your sanity becomes very questionable after that long."
Silence descends on them as Ember calmly stands there, absorbing what Tenten just said and closes her eyes. "I'm going to go find Mister Moochic and see if he can come up with a way to send you home as soon as possible." Turning, she begins to walk away but pauses as Neji's voice fills the air.
"Should we stay here?"
"You don't have to. There's an empty house nearby you can stay in, if you wish. Head towards the forest and follow the stream until you reach a large rock. Turn right at that and you'll come across the cabin. I'll be able to find you no matter where you go." Nodding at them, she quickly leaves. Much faster then what is called for, almost as if she is fleeing.
Looking at each other, Neji and Tenten share a long, silent look before turning as one and heads towards the forest, following the female pony's directions. Leaving behind their neurotic teammates.
Shouts of, 'Gai-sensei!' 'Lee!' follow them as they move away from them as fast as possible without it actually looking like they are running away.
"Gai-sensei! Neji and Tenten left! We must chase after them!"
"Right Lee! Let us show out our Powers of Youth!"
A dust cloud forms as Lee and Gai race after the other two who give up the ghost and begin to run in earnest.
"NEJI! TENTEN! COME BACK!"
"They're catching up, Neji!"
Pushing himself faster, he doesn't waste his breathe answering her.
"MY LOVELY STUDENTS! WHAT A MARVELOUS IDEA TO HAVE A RACE!"
Tenten wails mentally as they catch up then pass them by.
"HAHAH! THAT IS IT, MY STUDENTS, BUT YOU SHALL NEVER BEAT ME! FOR I AM KONOHA'S GREEN BEAST!"
Slowly down, Tenten wishes that Iruka-sensei would burst from the trees again with another rock and bash it against Gai-sensei's head just to get him to shut up. 'Why did I have to get him as a sensei?!'
Coming to a halt, Neji slantes his eyes half closed and just watches as the two green beasts vanish into the distance. Feeling something brush against his side, he twists his head around to stare at Tenten who is resting her head on his back. "..Tenten...now is not the time for that."
Shooting him a look, she doesn't budge. "That's wrong, Neji, on so many levels. I can't believe you just said that."
Quickly looking away, he scans the area for the large boulder that Ember mentioned to them.
"You've been around Kakashi-san too much." Teases him now, she grinning at the back of his head.
"Tenten."
"Heh!" She lets out a very amused laugh and bolts around a tree, leaving him staring after her. The blush slowly fading from his cheeks.
Also, has anyone else thought that Ember was being too calm? Or she was plotting something?
Usual applies: Don't own either.

Approaching, he gazes at Gai carefully to decide the best way of going about it before just shoving him right off the edge with his foreleg. Lee's shrieks turn fearful and angry as he bellows for the man.
"GAI-SENSEI!! NEJI LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!!"
Turning to Lee, Neji silently swings his head to the side, knocking him over as well. Gazing after him, he watches as Lee and further down, Gai-sensei, tumble head over rump until they are barely visible.
