Naruto excitedly stands outside Shikamaru Nara's house with the rest of the boys clutching his pillow and listening to the chatter. He felt so lucky to be included in the group that he was afraid saying so would ruin his chance. Shikamaru opens the door and everyone files in, claiming spots all over the living room as Shikamaru's parents leave for the night.

Naruto claims a spot near Lee and, as the party progresses, he starts to feel more and more comfortable with his fellow ninja. Smiling, he happily joins in the hiding game started by Neji, convinced this night will be wonderful.

~ Later…

Mayuri and Arianna fight giggles as they sneak up to Shika's house with the other Leaf girls. It hadn't taken long for Mayu and Ari to convince the others that the boys deserved a little payback for crashing their slumber party and now they were all dressed in black and armed for revenge.

"Does everyone know the plan?" Mayu turns around and the other girls nod at her, brandishing their own weapons. Mayu turns back towards the house where Ari is peeking in through the window and await's the signal.

"Uhm…M-Mayuri?" Hinata gently pulls on Mayu's black sleeve to get her attention. "W-won't we get in trouble for being here?"

"Not if we don't get caught Hina-chan." Mayuri pats the shy girls head gently to reassure her. "Which is why you're so important in the plan. We can't possibly do this without you Hinata."

"R-really?" Hinata blushes and pushes her fingertips together as she smiles. She's not used to being important or relied on, so she decides not to let her friend down.

"Are we ready?" Mayuri sees Arianna give her the signal from near the entrance and all the girls pull black cloths over their faces before infiltrating the house.

Mayuri in the lead, the girls all spread through the house as planned until everyone has found their assigned target. Mayuri and Arianna were lucky enough to find Naruto and Shikamaru sleeping next to each other. They wink at each other before pulling out their arsenal of make-up and starting on the unsuspecting boys.

When Ari and Mayu have become satisfied with their work, they head towards the entrance where Hinata has her Byakugan activated and is concentrating hard. After a few moments, all the girls are back at the entry point and, quieting their giggles, they all head back to Mayuri's house, where her father was waiting with a mischievous smile to hear all about it.

~ The Next Morning…

Naruto wakes up in a happy state of mind from the night before. Everyone had gotten along and he'd managed to get a really good night of sleep. He sits up and stretches before heading to the bathroom to relieve himself. Still half asleep, he passes by the mirror the first time and doesn't look into it until he's washing his hands.

For a second, Naruto doesn't recognize his own appearance. After all his lips weren't that red and he hadn't gotten into a fight in ages so it didn't make sense that his eyelids were blue…

He hears a scream come from down the hall where Choji and Neji had been sleeping and quickly rushes to the room with the other boys to discover he wasn't the only one who'd been victimized. Neji and Choji were also both made up and, when Kiba came into the room, he burst out laughing when he pointed out, "Neji, you make such a pretty girl!"

It seems as though all the boys had been attacked in their sleep and if there had been any doubt about the culprits it was all erased when the boys had all cleaned their faces and were changing their clothes for the day. Across all the boy's stomachs, written in different shades of lipstick were the names of the girls who'd graffittied them and, across Choji's bulbous stomach were the words:

Payback is a Bitch.
