Yes I did type all this in one day. No I don't own Naruto.

Some how Neji, Hinata, Kankuro, and Gaara had all got away while Sasuke and Naruto remained with the more shopping obsessed girls, Sakura, Temari, and Tenten. However, unknown to Sasuke, they were to act as a distraction for Neji's Ultimate Holiday Plan of Happiness. Yes, as lame as the name was, they thought it was a good idea.

Sakura and Temari still had gifts to get, and Tenten had just finished as Hinata and the others left. Naruto had volunteered himself and Sasuke to help carry their bags. (Which, by now are quite heavy.)

"Naruto was it really necessary for us to help them?" Sasuke sighed as he hefted two more bags.

"It's good to help the girls with something," Naruto said cheerfully. "Naruto ask next time, before you drag someone else into volunteer work," the raven haired teen growled. "Hey, guys I thought you'd be thirsty so I got you some cokes," Tenten offered with the two sodas at hand.

"Thank you Tenten!" shouted Naruto over joyously. Sasuke simply said a quiet 'thank you' and sipped the carbonated drink.

It was about six o'clock when Sakura and Temari finally finished finding and purchasing the 'perfect gifts'; both Naruto and Sasuke were laden with colorful bags and boxes of all colors and sizes.

"Alright boys since you helped us with the bags we'll get you guys some dinner, how's that?," Sakura smiled, "after we drop the stuff off first 'kay?"

"Yes! Free food! C'mon Sasuke let's hurry I'm hungry. Could we get some ramen?" shouted the blond haired blue eyed nin.

"We'll see," Temari smirked.

(Else where)

"Hurry! They'll be here any moment now"

"Ow, stop it that hurts. Oh you know what just give it here."

"Why are we doing this? It's so troublesome."

"C-c-c-careful that's hot, and don't spill anything."

The other half of the 'shopping group' invited some more people. They were all scurrying around trying to put together this last minute party. The following are helping: Neji, Hinata, Sakura, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba, Ino, Chouji, Lee, and Tenten. All this was for Sasuke, to cheer him up for the holidays.

Ding-dong

"Shhhhh…they're here!"

On the other side of the door, "This looks like the Hyuugas' place, what are we doing here?" asked Naruto.

"Just for a visit," replied Tenten as she pushed the door bell.

"SURPRISE! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! SASUKE!" everyone shouted as the door swung open.

Sasuke stood and gaped at the sight before him. When he finally regained his composure, he smiled.
