Hey everyone, this is my first Naruto story so I hope you like it. It is based off my friends and I so it has been really fun to make. Please tell me what you think!
Ding dong
The door was open in a matter of seconds, both Alex and Chloe standing there, giggling. They turned to me with devilish grins.
"Congratulations Haley! You can finally dress yourself!" They were struggling to keep in their laughter. I stared at them like they're insane, but I couldn't help it when a giggle leaked from my lips. It wasn't everyday my friends mentioned that I needed help getting dressed. Not that I did, but there was no point arguing with the two girls while they were in their current state.
"Ok Al, Chloe, what the hell are you talking about?" They laughed even harder. Chloe's dad put his head around the door that lead into the kitchen. I could see a worried look in his eyes. He gave me a questioning look; one that was asking 'what on earth'. I could only reply with a shrug. He looked once more at Chloe and Alex before shrugging as well, continuing what he was doing. I looked at the two again. "Are you going to tell me why you think I need help putting on clothes?"
"Well, you see, what happened was Chloe and I were talking on the phone, and Chloe said something that sounded like 'Haley can finally dress herself' and I was like 'what the fudge' and she was like 'ew, I didn't say that, you perv' and I was like 'well it sounded like it' and she was like 'how could it possibly have sounded like that' and I was like-"
"Ok Al, I get it, just please stop saying 'was like', it is driving me crazy!" Alex tried to pout, but it didn't take long for her laughter to return. The resulting mixture of the laugh and pout was enough to make us burst into another fit of hysterics. Cold wind hit my back, making me shiver.
Why on earth am I still outside?
"Hey Chloe, do you think you could let me in, it is getting kinda chilly." She looked at me, acting as if she were thinking, and then smirked.
"No Deidara, cross dressers aren't allowed in this sleepover." They started to close the door.
"Hidan, open the door or I swear you will find a clay spider in your pillow tonight!" The door opened, Alex and Chloe laughing.
"Oh, you know we love you Dei sempai!" We both look at Alex.
"We, what's this we shit, I hate this stereotype blonde," Chloe yelled. I glared at her.
"I'm not a stereotype blonde, if you want one of those, go to a pep rally, you'll see plenty!" We laughed. I walked in, Chloe closing the door after me. We followed as Chloe led the way to her room. The walls were covered with posters of different anime. There was a small square door on the ceiling, right above the doorway.
"Hey Chloe, does that lead to your attic?"
"Yeah, I've never been up there, maybe we should-"
"Chloe! Pizza," Chloe's dad called.
"PIZZA!" We all fought to be the first person down to the kitchen.
~After eating pizza and dessert~
"Chloe, I'm going to bed, you guys behave," Chloe's dad said.
"Yeah dad, no problem," she yelled back. Then she turned to Alex and I. "So what do you want to do?"
"VIDEO GAMES!" We went into the living room and squeezed onto the couch. Chloe set up the game and we started to play. The Naruto-based game pitted the characters against one another in one-on-one duels. I grabbed an Oreo and watched as Chloe kicked Alex's butt in a duel, laughing when ever one hit the other.
"Chloe, do you have any cheetos? I suddenly have a craving for cheetos," Alex asked. We, being Chloe and I, stared at her like she was crazy.
"You have a 'craving', don't only pregnant woman get cravings," Chloe asked.
"Alex is there something you want to tell us," I asked with a serious face. Alex hit us both.
"You sickos, I hate you," she yelled while Chloe and I laughed.
"You know we love you Al," I say. Chloe turned to me.
"I repeat, we?" We laughed for the hundredth time that night.
~After two hours of video games~
"My eyes, they burn," I whimpered.
"Shut up," Chloe mumbled, holding her head. "The kitchen lights are giving me a headache!"
"Cheetos!" Alex turned on the living room lights, making Chloe and I yell something about Thomas Edison's mother.
"Now that Hal and I are officially blind, what do you want to do?" I looked at the big grandfather clock. It was 15 minutes to midnight.
"Hey, do you still want to check out that attic," I asked her.
"Sure, why not." We headed up into her room. Chloe closed the door and locked it. When we looked at her she sighed.
"If my dad or mom happens to open the door while someone is trying to get into the attic, that person will fall off the chair." I laughed at the thought, earning glares from Alex and Chloe.
"I'm sorry! I've got a problem, I laugh at people's pain, everyone in my family does it!"
"Really? That's creepy," Alex said. Chloe just shook her head mumbling something like 'freaky cross dresser'.
"Shut up Chloe," I playfully push her. "So, who wants to go up first?" Alex raised her hand, jumping up and down.
"I do, I do!" She grabbed the chair and placed it under the door. Her height had grown considerably in the past few years, now she was '5"8, meaning she didn't need my or Chloe's help in getting the plywood blocking the entrance out. Placing her hands on opposite sides of the square hole, she started to pull herself up… an inch. We laughed at her small struggle.
"Can you guys please help me," Alex pleaded. Chloe and I looked at her, then each other, before gazing once more at our troubled friend.
"No," we said together.
"Hey Hal, you need to hear this new song I found, it's hilarious," Chloe said, heading over to her desk to grab her laptop and two sets of headphones.
"Guys come on, please," Alex whined.
"No Al, it is just like my family said, 'if you can't get up alone, you can't get down alone, and we wont always be there to help'. Trust me, if you try hard enough, you can do it." Alex looked at me, her eyes wide.
"Did your family really tell you that Hal?" She seemed doubtful.
"Of course, and they're right, now I know how to climb a tree, so try getting up, we'll follow when your in." I sat on Chloe's bed and plugged in a pair of headphones. Chloe put hers in and opened a file called My Stuff, clicking on a unlabeled folder with a music note on it. A little window popped up with a video of Barney dancing in it and the music started to play. The singer was talking from a kid's point of view, a kid who was on the show of Barney. Somehow it turned into 'Oh boy, Barneys on fire, this is our greatest desire'. The little Barney in the window now had flames coming off his arms, neck, and head. I was trying to catch my breath from my excessive laughter when I looked over to check on Alex. She was up! I nudged Chloe, pointing at the chair. She pressed the pause button and looked over as well.
"Holy crap, she's up! That was really fast!" Chloe nodded.
"So, do you wanna go up next?" I shook my head.
"No thanks, I want to hear the rest of this song, you go ahead." I pressed the play button, watching the rest of the video, there was only 45 seconds left. When it was over, I turned and found Chloe gone.
What the fudge?! How did they get up so fast!
I turned off the laptop, setting the headphones aside. Walking over, I stepped up onto the chair. Placing my hands on the entrances frame, I started to walk up the wall, pulling with my hands and pushing with my feet. When my head and chest were up, I felt around for a hand hold.
"Dei, watch out," Alex yelled.
Huh?
"Wha-," a hand closed around my throat, dragging me through the hole and off my feet. Yelping, I grasped at the wrist of the figure, clawing at it in a hope that they would let go. "What the hell! Let me-," glowing yellow eyes stared into mine. Lightning flashed, filling the room with a pale glow for a few seconds. The person holding me had green hair, with skin that was pale white on one side and pitch black on the other. He had a venus fly trap encasing his head, a head I recognized very well.
"Zetsu," I whispered. He cocked his head, staring at me with narrowed eyes.
"Zetsu, it's time to go. Grab the others," a deep voice commanded. I heard footsteps, followed by a series of yells and screams.
"Damn it! Quit struggling you little bitch," someone yelled.
Gee, I wonder who that might be.
"Let's go," the deep voice said. A bright light filled the room, much brighter than any flash of lightning. I faintly remembered hearing the grandfather clock chime, signaling midnight, then the darkness surrounded me.
Thanks for reading, please review!
