Part 1- Invitation
Sakura slid open the front door of her house. "Oh. Hi, Naruto!" She exclaimed with a smile. She poked her head out of the door and looked around. "Did Sasuke come with you?"
Naruto shook his head. "Nay, Sakura-Chan." He pushed past her and into the living room of the Haruno family. "Do you have any ramen?"
Sakura shook her head, shutting the door. "No, Naruto!"
"Aw," complained the blond teenager. "Why not?"
"Because this is a New Years celebration, not national ramen day!"
Narutos' eyes widened." You're kidding me! There's actually an entire day dedicated to ramen?!" He frowned. "Wait- then why have I never heard of it?"
As a firm knock came on the door, Sakura left Naruto to puzzle over the existence of a ramen holiday.
"Oh, Sasuke!" Sakura squealed at the front door. "You came!"
Naruto joined Sakura at the door. "Yo, Sasuke! What are you doing here?"
Sasuke brushed a strand of raven hair from his eyes. "Sakura invited me, idiot."
Naruto sighed. "Aw, I thought it was going to be just Sakura and-"
Sakura elbowed Naruto in the side, pushing him away from the entrance so that she could usher Sasuke inside. "Come on in, Sasuke!" Guiding her guests to the couch, Sakura said "I made some cookies, if you'd like to try one Sasuke." She gestured to the plate on the coffee table.
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto interrupted. "Did you know that there's a day dedicated to ramen?"
Sasuke stared at him. "Um, Naruto.. I seriously doubt-"
"You idiot!" Sakura yelled. "There's no such thing!"
"Then why did you say there is?"
"I didn't..." Sakura trailed off. "Never mind. Just sit down."
Naruto sat in the middle of the couch; Sakura went on his right and Sasuke, his left.
"Well." Naruto grinned. "Let's get this party started!"
