Ami: Is everybody ready?

Choji: Almost...

(In the back ground...

Ino: Where's my costume? Has anyone seen it?

Sasuke: I thought you already had it on earlier?!

Ino: I did. But decided to remove it when we were rehearsing our scripts. It's really hot...

Sasuke: It isn't our problem. It's yours.

Ino: No it isn't. It's the fault of the one who STOLE my costume!)

Ami: Almost...?

Tenten: Guys! Your voices can be heard ou in stage. Quit shouting!

Ino: I wouldn't have if he didn't have to put the blame on me...

Sasuke: And now I'm the suspect here?!

Sakura: Will you two just SHUT UP?! (puches the two on the head)

Ino and Sasuke: …

Sakura: Anyway, Ino. Your costume was found in the men's rest room...

Ino: What girl would be so stupid to hide a costume in the men's bathroom?

Sasuke: (Stares down at the floor)

Sakura: Because it was not a woman. Right, Sasuke? (Gives a devilish grin)

Sasuke: Wha--what do you mean?! (Already sweating bullets)

Ino: I don't really understand anything here...

Sakura: A GUY STOLE YOUR COSTUME FOR KAMI'S SAKE!

Ino: Who would do such a thing?!

Sakura: (points at Sasuke)

Ino: You mean he's--

Sakura: Uh huh! HE IS!

Choji: I don't like where this is going…those girls are soo creepy

Ami: and by that look on their faces, I could tell that there's something EVIL on their mind…

Choji: *sigh* Poor Sasuke…he doesn't know what's coming…

Ami: We'd better make a run for it…I don't like what ever they're gonna do…

Choji: I think you're right! Let's scram!

Sakura: Hey (Gives Sasuke an evil smirk)…Sasuke! You've been so quiet lately.

Sasuke: So? Is that even you're problem?

Sakura: You could've just waited for the story to finish. THEN you could have it for your own personal needs.

Sasuke: I don't get what you're saying…

Sakura: I thought you do! You were the one who did it, right?!

Sasuke: What do you mean?

Sakura: Ino's gonna broadcast on the speakers that you stole her mermaid costume and tell everyone you're gay…Just that…

Sasuke: WHAT?! You're kidding, right?!

Sakura: No I'm not…Just look behind you…

(In the speakers…

Ino: Guy! Guess what? Somebody just stole my costme…and that somebody is Sasuke! He's hidhing too much from us…Oh! Did you know that he was GAY?!

In background…

Sasuke: I SO AM NOT!

Ino: OH YES YOU ARE!

Sasuke: How could you tell?!

Ino; YOU stole my costume! Now, Where is it?!

Sasuke: For the second time, Ino. I didn't steal it!

Ino: YES YOU DID!

Sasuke: Quit it Ino…You're making a scene…

Ino: So what?! I'll stop when you give me back my costume!

Sasuke: I told you already! I Did NOT steal your mermaid costume!

Ino: So, you're still denying it then…You're gonna get what you deserve…SASUKE IS GAY! SASUKE IS GAY! HE WAS JELOUS BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET THE PART OF THE MERMAID!

Ami: This is just too embarrassing!

Choji: Can't take this…too funny...Sasuke…gay…Ino on the speakers…Can't imagine Sasuke…mermaid suit…ridiculous! *choke*

Ami: Choji! Are you okay?!

Choji: Yes...please give me water…*choke*

Ami: You shouldn't have laughed too much.

Choji: *choke*I simply forgot…*choke*now please…wa—

Ami: Don't talk! It will only worsen your condition.

Choji: I said I'm fine! *choke* WATER!

Ami: You'll only choke more…

Choji: WATER! *choke*

Ami; It'll be fine…your our not gonna die, are you?!

Choji: *choke*

Ami: Speak to me! Are you still alive?!

Choji: *choke* w—wate—WA—water *choke*

Ami: And to think that you were still too young…you never even had a chance to start a family yet! WHY?! KAMI-SAMA! WHY?!

Choji: *choke*

Ami: And He was a good man. I didn't really think he would die this way…*sob*

Choji: WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, WOMAN?! *CHOKE CHOKE* I'M NOT YET DEAD! WELL, IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME WATER, I MIGHT BE DEAD SOONER. OR WORSE, DIE BECAUSE OF HIGH-BLOOD! *CHOKE* AND IF I REALLY DIE, I WILL HAUNT YOU ENDLESSLY IN YOUR DREAMS! *CHOKE CHOKE*

Ami: I'm sorry. Here's your water…

Choji: What happened to you?!

Ami: Just got caught up by the other guys' drama…

(In the background…

Sasuke: When I catch up with you, you're SO gonna be dead!

Ino: Just give me back my costume already! And, I won't stop until you do!)

Ami: They can be so influential sometimes…

Choji: true…

Sasuke:I already said I don't have it...But I think I know who…

Ino: who then?

Naruto: HEY EVERYBODY! (Suddenly enters the scene) WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HERE?!

Sasuke: THAT'S person you're looking for…

Ino: How did you—

Sasuke:You didn't give me a chance to explain earlier…

Ino: But how?! NARUTO?!

Naruto: What's going on?!

Sasuke:Yep…I'm sure he was it…

Naruto: I don't understand…that 'stealing the costume' was only a small prank!

Tenten,Sakura,Choji,Ami,Sasuke and Ino: NARUTO! (Glares at Naruto)A little prank?! It isn't even close to little!

Naruto: Guys…I didn't know that it would come to this…

Sasuke and Ino: WE JUST ACTED LIKE CHILDREN. AND ALMOST EVERYONR HERE HEARD WHAT WE SAID!

Ami: Not to mention Choji almost dying…

Choji: Keyword-ALMOST!

Tenten:And it also consumed most of our time…

Sakura: And Sasuke-kun was accused…

Naruto: But—

Ino: No buts…YOU'RE GONNA PAY!

Naruto: WAIT JUST A MINUTE! CAN I TALK?!

Ami: Fine…

Naruto: I didn't plan all this. I only made what he instructed…

Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Choji, and Ami: THEN WHO?!

Naruto: Teme planned all this…I didn't know what the was going to do with the costume…I never asked…he just ordered me to get it.

Ino: (Turns to Sasuke) Is this true?!

Sasuke: No.

Naruto: QUIT LYING! YOU'RE ALREADY CAUGHT RED-HANDED!

Sasuke: fine! I planned this…So what?!

Ino:So you ARE gay!

Sasuke: NO I'm not!

Ino: prove it!

Sasuke: …

Next episode…Sasuke proves not being gay. Will he be able to do it?

To be continued…

Prologue:

Ino…I don't think it's safe to swim in the surface. Choji, the young mermaid's fish friend said. Your dad's going to kill us if he finds out.

That's why we won't tell anybody. She smiled at her friend as they were already nearing the surface. Come one! Race 'ya!

Choji just shrugged and swam of to catch up with his mermaid friend. (Ami: Can fish shrug? Wow! If only it were real…)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

=Surface=

Wow! I must admit. It really is good to be out of the water sometimes. Ino said, sitting on a rock. She was scanning the area when she spotted something

A few meters away, was a seagull, sitting on another rock.

Another creature. I'd better talk to him. He might know more about the this 'world'.

Ino. DON'T! It migh hurt you. Choji the fish tried to stop her. But her curiosity has already over come her. It was no use now.

He just hid, and hoped everything would be alright.

She went towards the seagull.

Hi. I'm Ino. She introduced herself to the seagull

Naruto. The bird simply replied. Where are you from?

She smiled. She finally made a friend.A Kingdom from under the sea.

Oh. The seagull somehow seemed fascinated by the girl. By the way. Welcome to the surface.

Wait! I forgot to introduce you to my friend. Ino swam to the rock Choji was hiding to. C'mon, choji. I'll let you meet my new friend.

Hello. Naruto greeted

How nice to meet you. Choji replied.

Just then, a ship came crossing the sea.

Ino was thrilled. (Ami: Duh! first time in the surface! I could've been like that too if I were her.)

What is that thing? She asked. Trying to trace out the shape of the ship in her finger.

Oh. THAT. Naruto acted like a really smart person this time. That's a ship.

A…ship? What is a ship.

'whoa!this girl is really a curious one!' Naruto thought in his mind. A ship is something humans use to go to other places.

Oh! A ship!she exclaimed. She have seen one before. But only those who have already been wrecked. But still, she doesn't know what it was because her father would forbid her to.

Then she spotted a boy in the ship. About her age. (Ami: By the way…Ino was 9 at that time…) He was really handsome…dark-gray eyes, cream skin and ebony-black hair…So dreamy…

Who's that guy over there? Ino asked her seagull friend.

That boy? Prince Sasuke Uchiha of the Kingdom of Konoha. Naruto replied, in a kind of know-it-all voice.

Ah…Prince Sasuke…She looked over at him again. She noticed that he was also looking at her.

=in the ship=

He was looking out in the sea too freshen up. That was when he saw something. Maybe at least thought he saw something.

'A girl!' That was what he saw. He tried to call on her. Hey, little girl! Why are you there swimming in the open sea? Isn't that dangerous?

Ino, realizing that she had been spotted, showed him her fins. This would tell him that she didn't need to come up.

'So it was a mermaid…' He dreamily said.

Thunder clashed and rolled. There was a huge storm up ahead. The ship began shake. The crew went and lowered the safety boats on the side of the ship. All of the people went to the boats. And that includes Sasuke.

The storm was so strong, that the ship sunk to the bottom of the sea. They were lucky that nobody was in there anymore.

Ino and her friends were there, watching the whole thing. And then, something happened…

The waves were so large that the boats had a hard time. The boat the prince was in tossed and turned then, the prince fell into the monstrous waves.

Ino, feeling that she has to do something, dived into the water and searched for the prince.

She found him…unconscious in the water. She scooped him up and helped him to the shore.

Finally…the storm ceased and Ino and the Sasuke arrived in shore.

She laid him down on the soft, white sand and tried to wake him up.

He didn't. So, she sang him a song.

Before she could even finish, the prince woke up. He Sat up and stared at the mermaid's blue eyes.

Wh—who are you actually?!...He asked.

Just…just remember me as a friend… That was all she said. She was about to turn around to leave when Sasuke caught her wrist. Promise me we'll meet again?

Promise! She smiled as she went and dived into the waters again.

Just then, Kakashi, their butler went to him. Sasuke! Prince! Where have you been? We all thought you were dead! Kakashi looked worried.

No, Kakashi-sama. Somebody saved me. Sasuke smiled.

Who is it? I would really love to thank that person. He said, with deep gratitude in his eyes to the person who saved him.

It's…my little secret…Sasuke said. He didn't want people to think he was insane if he said that a mermaid saved him. Nobody would believe him anyway.

Hey there, Akamaru! He smiled happily as the little puppy jumped into hi lap. I missed you.

Now, Sasuke. Let's go inside the Kingdom. You're soaking wet. We don't want our future king getting sick. Kakashi said, leading the young boy to a carriage.

'You…PROMISED…' he thought as the carriage was already jeading to the palace.

The mermaid happily watched his departure, hiding in a big rock.

'I hope someday we will meet again…Sasuke' She smiled at that thought and went back to her friends.

Let's go home. She said to Choji, swimming down to the sea.

I guess we'll see you aroud? Choji asked.

Naruto gave a grin. Yeah. (Ami: Grinning Seagulls? Pretty weird…I thought they don't have any teeth...wait...seagulls with teeth?)

And Choji dived back down as well.

At the bottom of the sea, Ino was there, a little light-headed than usual.

'We promised'
