"Behind the scenes"

"That's a wrap! Good work everyone!"

Everyone sighed in relief that they were done with today's work. Some people ran to their dressing rooms to change.

"Jeez, I'm hungry…Want to eat some ramen at my house, Sakura? I bought a whole box of them yesterday!" Naruto exclaimed as he rubbed his stomach.

"As long as I don't have to pay, then I'm good. Want to come, Sasuke?" Sakura asked the Uchiha boy that was currently drinking root beer.

"No. I got tired of eating that shit since we practically ate it every time in front of the camera." Sasuke said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Ah, come on. Then what do you want? It's not like Sakura's gonna come with me if you're not there…right, Sakura-chan?" Naruto said, as he nudged Sakura, only to get slapped by her.

"Hmph! That Sakura on TV is nothing like me, off camera. I'll still come, as long as I'm not taking my wallet out. I'll go and see if anyone else wants to come." Sakura said as she left to go to the other dressing rooms.

"Ha…Seems like she still gives you the same treatment as Haruno Sakura does with Uzumaki Naruto, don't you think so, Naruto?" Sasuke said as he handed Naruto a bottle of seltzer water.

"Oh shut up, Sasuke…" Naruto said as he roughly took the bottle of water. He left, in search for his dressing room.

"…I guess there's a good reason why they chose us to do the parts of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto…" Sasuke said as he smirked and went to search for the manager.

OxO

Naruto went to ask the cast to see if they wanted to come, but they said they were all busy.

Shikamaru "I'm going to the community center to teach kids how to play shoji and go. So troublesome…" (Just like him…)

Chouji "I'm going out with my parents to eat 'Yakiniku (Korean Barbeque)." (Obviously)

Tenten "Sorry, Naruto. I'm going through female problems…" (Perhaps she meant relationship problems?) A.N.G- Idiot, it's that time of month!

Ino "I'm going to the salon to get a pedicure and a manicure." (What's the point if they're going to get fucked up when we get in front of the camera?)

Kiba "Have to help my parents in the animal shelter today." (Like you don't have your own dog to take care of…)

Shino "…No." (I'm stupid enough to think he'll say yes.)

And the others…Well…I didn't feel like looking for their dressing rooms. There are too many floors to go through. I mean, the office building had over 10 floors…

Naruto went outside of the building, to be greeted by a little boy.

"Naruto!"

"…Konohamaru!" Naruto was shocked, to see him cling on to him like this.

"Naruto, you promised to buy me ice cream after today's session!" Konohamaru let go of Naruto's waist and pouted.

"…I did?" Naruto couldn't remember things well. Then…

Flashback(to this morning)-

"Hey, Konohamaru, it's time to go! We have to start airing in a few minutes! What are you still doing in you're room!" Naruto knocked on the wooden door, painted tan and had a sign that said "Konohamaru" on it.

"I'm not coming out!" Konohamaru slammed on the door, which shook Naruto a little.

"…Are you still upset about what Moegi said yesterday!" Naruto said as he crossed his arm and was leaning against the door.

"…" Konohamaru didn't respond.

A flashback within a flashback

This was what happened. One day, Konohamaru and Moegi were walking together home, when Konohamaru decided to pop the question.

"And so, I had to clean up his stupid…" Moegi was talking when Konohamaru interrupted her.

"Moegi, will you go out with me!" Konohamaru screamed out.

Moegi started in awe. They both were blushing really hard.

"…I'm sorry, Konohamaru…" Moegi said as she turned away. That statement stabbed Konohamaru in the chest.

"…What?" Konohamaru looked at her.

"Didn't Udon tell you? I'm going out with him…" Moegi said.

"…No way! We're only 8 years old! I can't believe Udon's already going out with Moegi, much less me asking her out!"

"Well, how long…?"Konohamaru asked until Moegi held up 2 fingers.

"…2 days?"

"No. 2 months."

"WHAT!"

End of Flashback within the flashback

Konohamaru bonked his head against his door.

"…I shouldn't have brought that up… Well, what can I do to make you come out!" Naruto asked.

"…Kill Udon for me…" Konohamaru said. That make Naruto shiver as he felt something that was spiritually…evil…

"C-C- Come on, Konohamaru! You're only 8 years old! This isn't something you should be thinking about!" Naruto said as he backed away from the door, getting ready to knock it down.

"…"

"…How about I buy you ice-cream! I'll buy you you're favorite!" Naruto said.

"Fried Ice Cream!" (Author's Note- Fried Ice Cream isn't what you think, if you never ate it before…) Konohamaru got excited.

"Yup!" Naruto said. This made Konohamaru really happy because in the city they live in, there isn't that much ice cream stores. The closest one sells all different kinds of ice-cream, but it wasn't something an average guy can afford daily…

The door bursts open and Konohamaru runs out the room.

"What are you waiting for, Naruto? We're airing soon! Hurry!" Konohamaru said, as he reached the staircases and started running down.

"…I hope he's just going to ask for one serving of it…I wasted all of my money on a camera yesterday…" Naruto headed for the elevators instead of the staircases.

End of Flashback

"…Ah crap…"Naruto got paled.

"…What do you mean "ah crap"?" Konohamaru said.

"…"Naruto started sweating beads I left all of my money in my dressing room…

"Don't tell me you don't have any money, Naruto…" Konohamaru said as he stressed out his name.

"…Ah…Of course I do, Konohamaru! Stupid idiot, what kind of person doesn't bring money with them!" Naruto said.

You, unfortunately…

Shut up, you inner conscience, you..

"Naruto!"

Naruto turned around, only to be greeted by Hatake Kakashi.

"Kakashi-san! Ah! Just in time, Kakashi-san!" Naruto pulled Kakashi away from Konohamaru and started whispering in Kakashi's ear.

"Can you lend me a couple of bucks? I have to buy Konohamaru ice-cream…" Naruto whispered.

"…No." Kakashi stood straight and started walking away.

"What? Come on! Help out a friend!" Naruto yelled out.

"You're not my friend, Naruto. You're my student!" Kakashi said as he laughed.

"…Stupid bastard…" Naruto started getting red.

"Naruto-kun!" Naruto turned around, once again, to be greeted by somebody else.

"Hey, Hinata!"

"Sakura told me that you're treating her to ramen at your house and she invited me. Is that ok?" Hinata asked.

"…Sure! But first things first, Hinata. Can I borrow a couple of bucks? I have to buy Konohamaru ice-cream…" Naruto asked.

"…Um, sure…" Hinata searched in her pockets and pulled out a 20 dollar bill.

"Hope that's enough."

"It's more than enough! Thanks, Hinata! Can you find Sakura and tell her to come over at 5! I'll be home then!" Naruto said as he ran towards Konohamaru and started to shove in to the streets.

"So, Hinata-chan…when do you plan on telling him?" Hinata turned around, only to see Sakura.

"…What are you talking about?" Hinata started turning red.

"Come on! Even though on T.V, you have a crush on Naruto, you still like him behind the camera, don't you?" Sakura said as she nudged the beet red face girl.

"…" Hinata couldn't think straight anymore. It's true. Hinata did have a crush on Naruto, even if it isn't on air. She can't help it. Who can't resist such a cute guy?

"Perhaps you should tell him when we eat for ramen today. If you want, I could always ditch…" Sakura said.

"No! …I mean…I think it's still too soon to tell him…" Hinata said.

"…"

Author's Note- This is probably the longest chapter that I ever wrote. But then again, all the other stuff I wrote was pretty much crap…
