Naruto arrived at the door dressed as a Hokage. Which really wasn't much of a surprise. Following him, Sakura was a cat... an immodestly dressed cat... and Hinata was a modestly-dressed mouse... with naturally-pink cheeks.
Not much of a surprise there, either.
"Go away, Naruto, I don't celebrate Halloween."
"That's because you look like it all year 'round!" Naruto crowed.
"Baka! Sasuke-kun, can we pretty-please have some candy?" Sasuke eyed her warily and shut the screen door.
"T-trick or t-t-treat!" Since he had nothing against Hinata, he opened the screen door again and put a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup he found on the table in her pumpkin-shaped plastic bucket. He then shut the door and locked all three deadbolts. The thick, heavy door mostly blocked out the "Sasuke-kun, what about me?" and the foul language.
"Sasuke, do you have any pumpkins?" asked Neji, fiddling with a kunai. He was sitting on the couch also avoiding Halloween with his team. Lee was rumored to have purchased a giant Godzilla costume, while the time of year which hinted at horror movies with large sharp bloody weapons also made Tenten excited. And Gai was scary enough all the rest of the year.
"Why?"
"I'm bored."
Sasuke went to the kitchen. He found... tomatoes. They were similarly shaped to pumpkins, right?
He brought one back out to Neji, who immediately started carving it into a face shape.
Sasuke's bottom lip started to quiver.
"What?" asked Neji indignantly. "I'm making a tomato jack-o-lantern! What's wrong with that?"
A tear slipped down Sasuke's cheek.
He wailed- "I- I didn't know you were going to kill it!"
Not NejiSasu. Unless you like that sort of thing.
I wrote it to be just Sasuke crack.
I love how it's springtime and a Halloween sketch popped into my head.
Yes, the major punchline depends on allusions. I hope you don't mind.
