Yay. Randomness.
Enjoy! (or something)

"Pleeeeeese? You all promised! Come out!"
Kakashi stood impatiently outside three dressing rooms, tapping a digital camera. The rest of Team 7 was in the dressing rooms, changing for a group photo. Perhaps suffering was a better word than changing. All three had custom-made "Team 7" outfits, which could have been a good idea had it not been handled by their sensei.
"C'mon out! I'll treat you to ramen afterwards!"
"HELL NO!" was the reply from both Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura remained silent.
Naruto refusing ramen? It can't be THAT bad…Kakashi pondered. "Sakura, I thought you liked the outfits I chose. Won't you come out?"
"Only when those two do."
Sadly, Kakashi sighed, still tapping the camera. Then, he snapped his fingers together; inspiration had just hit. He quickly whipped out a familiar orange book and opened to the first page. A crafty look appeared on his face.
"I'm reading my faaaaaaavorite book!"
"Good for you." It was Naruto.
"Do you know what that means??! It's time for KAKASHI'S STORY HOUR!" Kakashi exclaimed.
Dead silence.
He cleared his throat. "Chapter 1. 'Oh! My love for you is lovelier than all the love in the world, my love. Let's make love-'"
"That's IT! I can't take it anymore!"
"I'm out!"
"Same here!"
All at once, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke pushed the dressing room doors aside and ambled out to their sensei. The three were clad in cheerleading uniforms, complete with pompoms and ribbons in their hair. And each person's uniform was the colors he or she typically wore, so Sasuke's was navy blue and black, Naruto's was orange and blue, and Sakura's was red and pink. It wouldn't have been quite so bad for Naruto and Sasuke had they been wearing men's cheerleading outfits, but unfortunately…
"You're all SO CUTE!" Kakashi squealed with delight like an ecstatic fan girl. Sasuke looked like he was resisting the urge to throw something at him, while Sakura was fighting back laughter from her teammates' clothes.
Kakashi beamed and gave a thumbs-up. "Let's go!"

Team 7 was led to a grassy field outside. Had there been a football game in progress, the three would have fit in well. Kakashi motioned for them to line up, Sakura to the left, Sasuke in the center, and Naruto on the right. No one smiled, not even Sakura, who had initially approved of the outfits they now wore. However, Kakashi was undeterred. "Ok! Smiles everyone!"
Sakura raised her pompoms in the air and forced a small smile. Naruto half-lifted his with a displeased look on his face. Sasuke watched the grass grow at his feet.
"Say, 'Go Team 7!'"

-2 days later…
The picture had been developed, and everyone got a copy.
Sakura actually liked the photo results, and kept her copy safely tucked in a photo album.
Naruto had discovered a thin crack in his apartment wall big enough to shove the picture into.
Sasuke promptly buried his copy out in the woods and left it there.
And Kakashi was able to complete yet another page in his Scrapbook-o-Memories.
"Too cute… I really should have them dress up for pictures more often."
He closed his scrapbook and set it on a nearby shelf.
"If only the boys had been smiling."

Well? What do you think? This is a crack-random short story I came up with yesterday (and actually felt like writing right away). If I were better at drawing, I'd post an actual picture of Team 7 wearing their uniforms. Might anyways… Someday…
Read and review!
