Down To Reality

(The Sequel to SasuSaku High.)

The Fashion Show

It wasn't long until December 12th rolled around. Adrian had survived his 1st few months of school, Sasuke's business went up along with their stock market, and Sakura was some what prepared for the fashion show. That's where we find our self now, in the Uchiha mansion on December 12th, the day of the Victoria Secret annual fashion show…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

It was the dreaded alarm clock that rang. Sakura slapped her hand on the dresser and hit the alarm clock. It turned off. Sakura sat up and looked at the sleeping figure next to her. She smiled softly and stood up. Sakura stretched her arm up and yawned. She walked down the huge case of stairs while rubbing her eyes and headed towards the kitchen. It was Saturday morning at 6 o'clock. No work today. She thought to herself. She glanced over at the calendar on the wall. She looked down at December 12th. The 25 year old woman's eyes widened.

"The fashion show's today!" She literally screamed. She looked at it again, "But I don't have to be there till 4. So I'm okay." She said quietly as she started making breakfast for her family. Sakura was wearing black and gray plad shorts and was wearing a pink spaghetti strap shirt. Those were her usual lounge around clothes.

Sasuke's nose twitched as he smelled the sweet aroma of food coming from the downstairs kitchen. He sat up. His nose twitched again. He sniffed the air.

"Mommy's making pancakes!" He heard Adrian shout as the 6 year old ran down the stairs. Sasuke threw on his robe and did the same. It wasn't just any pancakes; it was Sakura's famous double chocolate vanilla pancakes! She had even sold the recipe to IHOP. (International House of Pancakes.) Sasuke walked down to the kitchen and saw Sakura listening to her I-pod will cooking and humming a song. He snuck up on her and wrapped his arms around her waste. She let out a slight, 'eek!' but relaxed when she noticed who it was. Sakura bent her head back and kissed Sasuke.

"EW! Gross!" They heard Adrian shout from their kitchen table. "More food making Mommy! Less smoochy time with Daddy!" He complained. Sakura laughed.

Sasuke sat down next to Adrian.

"You know Adrian; someday you'll do the same thing." Sasuke said to his son. Adrian shook his head in disgust.

"Ew no! All the girls I know are annoying and weird!" Adrian protested while standing up on his chair. "Girls are weird!" He boasted. Sasuke sweat dropped while Sakura kept listening to her I-pod.

"You say that now Adrian, but trust me, that'll change." Sasuke muttered under his breath. Sasuke served them their pan cakes and she sat down with a Nutri Grain low fat breakfast bar and started to eat. "So what time is the show at?" Sasuke asked her. She looked up and finished chewing.

"It's at 8 tonight. But I've gotta be there by 3." Sakura replied. Sasuke nodded and started reading the news paper.

"Do we have the same seats as last year Mommy?" Adrian asked as he chewed a piece of his pancake.

"No Adrian. You guys get 1st row this year!" Sakura squealed. Sasuke looked up from his paper.

"Who am I stuck sitting next to this year?" Sasuke asked with a twinge of annoyance in his voice.

"Leonardo DeCaprio." (sp?) Sakura replied. Sasuke's eyes widened.

"You're kidding."

"Nope. I made sure that you wouldn't have to sit next to Paris Hilton like last year." Sasuke shivered at the thought.

FLASHBACK

"So anyways, I was like, 'No Nicole! Tinkerbelle beats your dog any day!' And she was all like, 'Well precious has a better pedicure than Tinkerbelle does!' And I was all like, 'Oh no you did not just say that bitch.' And she was all like, 'Well I did slut!" And I was all like…" Paris Hilton was literally spilling her guts to Sasuke. Sasuke groaned.

"I did not deserve this!" He said out loud.

"I know! That's what I said! But then Nicole was all like, 'My dead skin is worth more than yours!' And I was all like, 'No way! Mine is worth infinity dollars!' And she was all like, 'Well mine was worth infinity and 2!' And I was all like, 'Don't go there girlfriend!' But she did so I slapped her. So then I went and made friends with Brittney. But then she got high and was all like, 'Flying chickens with deformed utters!' So I like gave her to Nicole and she still has her in that Guinea Pig cage." Sasuke sighed and laid his head on his arm and groaned a few times.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Thank you!" Sasuke yelped and hugged Sakura.

"You're welcome…?" She said and patted him cautiously on the back. Adrian's eyebrow twitched. 'Why can't my parents be normal?' He thought.

'They're as normal as you're gonna get kid.' A voice inside his head laughed.

'Whoa! Who are you?

'You're conscience. In other words your inner self.'

'Cool!' Adrian had officially discovered his inner self. As Sakura would say, "it's like discovering your legs, you can't go anywhere without it." Sasuke and Sakura stared at their son as he was making weird faces.

"Uh, Adrian?" Sakura caught the attention of her son.

"Huh, wha?" He said being snapped back to reality.

"You're hands in the syrup." Sakura replied. Adrian snatched his hand out of the pitcher of syrup and smiled.

"Go take a shower." Sasuke said signaling him with his hand. Adrian nodded and headed towards their one of many bathrooms. Hell the kid had his own and he's only 6!

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon Sakura was saying her good byes.

"By Adrian! I'll see you at the show okay?" Sakura said as she knelt down to Adrian's level and held both of his hands. Adrian nodded and hugged his Mom.

"I love you Mommy." He said to her.

"I love you too." She replied. She stood up and looked at Sasuke. She kissed him. Adrian's face was filled with disgust. The two pulled apart and Sakura smiled.

"I'll see you tonight at 8. Leave by 6:30 so you can beat the crowds and traffic." She suggested. Sasuke nodded as Sakura headed out the door. She waved good bye and drove away in her red convertible. The lid was up do to the fact that it was snowing.

"Adrian, your Mother ordered me to take you clothes shopping for tonight." Sasuke said to his son.

"Nooooooo!! I hate clothes shopping!" Adrian wined.

"Well I need something to wear also Ace, so we're going." Ace was Sasuke's nick name for Adrian. Adrian put on his winter jacket and the two headed out the door.

"Now I can deal with a tux Daddy, but not this." Adrian was wearing a red velvety tux with white ruffles that went down the front. He had a white Beethoven style wig on. "I wanna stay with the 1st suit I tried on." Adrian complained.

"Fine, just one more your Mom really wanted us to look at." Sasuke said. Now Adrian was wearing a brown tux with fur cuffs. He had on a raccoon hat. Like Lewis and Clark and Johnny Apple Seed.

"No." Adrian said coolly. One word, 'no.'

"I don't blame you." Sasuke said as he scanned his son up and down.

"You're mother has lost her mind if she thinks that I am wearing this hideous dead animal!" Sasuke cried as he looked at what Sakura wanted him to wear.

"Um Daddy, the jacket that you're wearing is meant to be the shirt, and the pants that you're wearing are supposed to be the jacket." Adrian said as he stared at his father.

"So that's why it's riding up!" Sasuke said as he changed it to the normal way. He still didn't end up wearing it. In the end they both bought the same thing. A white long sleeved button up collared shirt, a black dress jacket, black slacks that matched with the jacket, and black shoes. The only difference was the size and the fact that Sasuke chose to wear a tie and Adrian a bow tie. As soon as the two arrived back to their home, they had to change and have dinner quickly. It was already 5:45 and they had to eat dinner and get ready on 45 minutes and be out by 6:30. Sheer chaos…

A series of things went wrong at that point. Sasuke lost his tie, Adrian lost his shoes, Sasuke couldn't find the hair gel, and Adrian couldn't find the shoe shine stuff. But luck was on their side. They got out of the house by 6:31. Sasuke sighed as they waited in a traffic jam in front of the place where the show was. Now he was glad that they had come so early. It took them about a half an hour to actually park, and then they had to stay for pictures on the red carpet, and then they had to find their seats. That took about and hour and 15 minutes. So by the time they sat down, the show was about to start. They only had a 15 minute wait. Then the lights dimmed and a voice echoed through the place.

"Welcome viewers to the 2013 annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show! Please enjoy." There was a loud applause and the show began.

Thee 1st them was Summer. So it was bathing suits and what not. Sakura came out 4 times for every theme, which only gave her 8 minutes to get ready between each one, no breaks. It was sort of like NASCAR. There was a group of 8 people assigned to every model to help them get ready every time.

The lights were now completely turned off. A spot light turned on to the 1st girl on the run way. Her head was down and she was at the back of the stage. It was Sakura. She was wearing a black bikini. The top tied in the back around the neck and in the middle in the front. The bottom part tied on the side. The music started.

"Woohoo! Yeehoo!" The song started off with. The song was The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani. As soon as the music started, on queue Sakura strutted down the run way. She had on sun glasses along with black high heels. Her hips moved gracefully as the music rang through out the auditorium. She stopped at the end of the cat walk and stopped. She cocked her hip to the left, looked to the right. Then walked back. The stage setting was amazing; in the back it looked just like the beach, sand, beach balls, etc. As soon as Sakura was out of sight, she ran to the changing room and put on her next swimsuit. She could here the song as she changed.

If I could escape I would but,
First of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank & treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?

Before you knew it, Sakura was back out with a totally different hair style and all new make up. Now she had on a pink swim suit with white lining. It was a simple every day bikini with VS embedded on the bottom half of the suit. Sakura did the routine and walked back.

"That's my Mommy!" Adrian shouted. Sasuke covered his mouth. He looked over at Leonardo DeCaprio who was currently smiling at the kid.

"Quite an enthusiastic kid." He said. Sasuke smirked.

"You have no idea."

Sakura went two more times. The rest of the show would be themed either Christmas or just the Holidays in general. It was time for their musical guest, this year it was Fort Minor. The girls would model while they singed. The song started. It was called Remember the name.

You ready?! Let's go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

Sakura walked out on stage. She was wearing A white beaded see through skirt. Then she had on a normal white braw but then she had cuffs on her arms. They looked like fur.

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Her hips swung from side to side as she smirked and headed back. The crowd was silent as they enjoyed the music and the sight before them.

Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But f em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Makin the story - makin sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!

The lights were amazing. Hell, everything was amazing. The girls, the lights, the music group, the song, everything. Sakura had 3 minutes till she had to wear the diamond out fit. She had yet to put it on. People were adjusting it and they were covered up by security guards.

Who the hell is he anyway?
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin for someone's help, to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

Sakura wanted to scream. Girls were running around frantically. Security guards everywhere and a group of people surrounding her trying to get the out fit ready.

2 minutes…

It's just twenty percent skill
Eighty percent fear
Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church
I like bleach man, why you have the stupidest verse?
This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he fin with S. Dot!

They had finally gotten the dress on. Now they were doing her make up and hair.

1 minute and 30 seconds…

They call him Ryu The Sick
And he's spittin fire with Mike
Got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
Been a fin annihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a ck
The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the makin, patiently waitin to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope
You wont believe the kind of sh that comes out of this kid's throat

Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin his way to the top
People think it's a common owners name
People keep askin him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No he's livin proof, Got him rockin the booth
He'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they doin give a hundred percent

Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfers he runs with, those kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!

Sakura was waiting for the next girl to come back. 10 seconds…

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! x2

Sakura was now walking down the run way. The dress was on, her make up was done, and she was ready. Pictures were being taken everywhere. Everything was diamonds, the underwear, the bra, the wings, and then the skirt. Sakura had on diamond wings that were about 12 feet tall and went way above her head. Then she had on the bra and underwear like I said, but hooked on to the back was a skirt that flowed back about 6 feet. All diamonds. The fashion show was coming to an end. All 3 hours of it. (Yes it was 3 hours! I just skipped the unimportant parts!) It was the song's last verse. Sakura was posing for the cameras and was on her way back. Fake snow was falling now. The crowd was going insane.

Yeah! Fort Minor
M. Shinoda - Styles of Beyond
Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop!

And just like that, the show was over…

TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N

Sort of a cliffie! I skipped the unimportant parts in the show because I'm typing this at 3:51 in the morning while listening to the song. I love Fort Minor and thought it would be a good song. If you haven't heard the song, search it on Yahoo music or on dogpile audio. It's amazing. Hope you like it! Make that 3:52 am. Good night everyone! God dammit now I've gotta spell check this gay thing… lots of curse words.
