"NARUTO!" screamed Shana, startling him. "STAY OUTTA THE FRIDGE!" She warned. Naruto grinned sheepishly."Eh he he he…." He said. She whacked his head with a paper fan.
"You glutton!" Shana exclaimed, "You already eat too much!"
"I'm a growing boy. I need my energy." Naruto replied. She rolled her eyes and looked at her watch. It was almost 2 o' clock.
"Alex better get here soon. I can't be late for Archery." Shana said. The doorbell rang. "Finally!" She grabbed her bow and arrows and opened the door.
"I'm here!" said Alex. Shana immediately gave him an orientation.
"They are not allowed to go in my room, my parents' room, the kitchen, garage and the pantry. And for good measure, they can't go upstairs either. If you make a mess, clean it up instantly. Hinata is sleeping upstairs so don't do anything too loud. Make sure Akamaru doesn't dig any holes in the yard. Oh, and if anything bad happens, I'm blaming you. Got it?" Alex nodded.
"Dang, that's a little harsh don't you think?" he asked. She crossed her arms.
"Not a bit." Shana replied. Alex sighed.
"Fine then." He said. "She sure knows how to take the fun out of everything." He thought.
"Okay. Call my cell if you need anything, bye!" She quickly rushed out the door, as it slammed shut behind her.
"YES! We're finally free!" exclaimed Naruto. Alex grinned.
"'Now the fun begins…" he said with an evil glint in his eye.
1 Hour and 30 Minutes Later…The house was a mess. Ice cream stains all over the carpet and a sleeping Shikamaru. There was overturned furniture and a furious Sasuke. He had not been able to locate his weapons. Shana had hidden them too well. Even with his Sharingan. Naruto was doing his "sexy" jutsu, making Alex laugh. Alex collapsed onto the couch with grin on his face. He turned and looked at the clock. It was 3:30 P.M.
"Dammit!" he exclaimed, jumping up off the couch, "How are we gonna explain this?!?" Alyssa, Yvonne, Melanie, and Faranak walked in.
"Hey Shana, were in the neighborhood so-WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!?" exclaimed Melanie.
"Alex? Why are you here?" asked Alyssa.
"Eh, I'm house-sitting?" offered Alex. Yvonne looked at him skeptically.
"You are in SO much trouble…" Yvonne noted.
"I can't believe you trashed her house!" exclaimed Faranak.
"I didn't trash her house! They did!" he exclaimed, gesturing to the Naruto characters, "Never mind that, just help me clean this up before she gets back!" Yvonne cocked an eyebrow.
"And why exactly should we do that?" she asked.
"Because if you don't I'll tell her you made part of this mess too." Alex replied.
"You wouldn't dare." Said Alyssa.
"You bet I would." Alex smirked. Faranak sighed.
"We have no choice." She said, "The sooner we get started the sooner we can finish." Melanie nodded.
"When Shana's angry, she won't listen to anybody. Not even us. We better hurry!" she ushered, and they got to work.
Alyssa quickly cleaned the carpet while Melanie turned back the furniture. Yvonne got the characters to freshen up and Faranak took out the trash. Alex cleaned the kitchen counter and sprayed air freshener. They quickly got done, when suddenly they heard Sasuke's voice.
"Aha!" he exclaimed, " I found our weapons!" Sasuke was REALLY mad, so he was about to throw a kunai knife at Naruto when the door burst open and an arrow hit the knife, causing it to fall lifelessly to the ground. Shana got out her mallet and hit Sasuke over the head as hard as she could. She quickly got the weapons and glared at the unconscious Sasuke.
"Eek! Sasuke!" exclaimed Alyssa, rushing to his side.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Shana.
"Umm… We just stopped by to see how it was going and discovered that Alex Zha was here." Said Melanie.
"Hey, why is he here?" asked Yvonne, "Aren't you two always arguing?"
"Eh, he knows about them staying here and is gonna watch them whenever I go to Archery now." replied Shana.
"So, you two are like friends now?" asked Faranak.
"NO!" said Alex and Shana in unison.
"Don't even think about that." Said Shana. "Or I'll have to tell you-know-who about you-know-what!" she said in a singsong voice.
"Oh, you're evil…" replied Faranak. Shana smirked.
"That's what friends are for!" She said. Akamaru came barking. "Aww... he's so sweet." She said as he nuzzled her hand. "Hey wait, is this ice cream on his nose?"
"I think I'll be going now…" said Alex, heading toward the door.
"Us too…" said Melanie. They all made a break for the door.
"HOLD IT!" shrieked Shana. Naruto and Kiba cringed at the sound of her voice. (Remember, Hinata's upstairs, Sasuke's unconscious, and Shikamaru is asleep. Nothing can wake him up.) "Who gave Akamaru ice cream?" she asked threateningly.
Alyssa, Melanie, Faranak and Yvonne all pointed to Alex. "He did." They all said in unison.
"Wha-hey!" exclaimed Alex. "That's not fair!" Melanie stuck her tongue out at him
"Well, life's not fair." Replied Faranak, crossing her arms. Alex rolled his eyes.
"You all suck." He said. Shana whacked him upside the head.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!" she asked, her mallet at hand.
"I didn't do anything!" he exclaimed.
"You should have seen the house when we came…" said Alyssa, shaking her head.
"You snitch!" Alex exclaimed. She just shrugged.
"He practically begged us to help him cover it up." Yvonne noted. A vein popped in Alex's head.
"Why you…" He grumbled. Hinata came down the stairs, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Nngh…" she looked around the room, "Wow, it wasn't this clean before…" Shana looked at Alex skeptically, then turned to her friends.
"What. Happened. Here." She demanded. They backed away a couple of steps. She turned to Naruto and Kiba. "Tell me."
"Uh…. Um…." Said Naruto stupidly.
"He let us do whatever we want!" Kiba pointed to Alex. Alex glared. Shana sighed.
"Well, at least you cleaned up…" She said. Her friends looked surprised.
"Aren't you going to get all mad and yell at everyone?" asked Yvonne. Shana shook her head.
"I'm not up for it. I've got a HUGE headache…" She said, wincing slightly at the pain.
They just stared.
"What?" Shana asked. "Do you WANT me to get mad?" They shook their heads. Suddenly, Shana slammed her fist on the table. "Darn it! I have to baby-sit Mrs. Wilson's baby!" She started to panic. "I can't have all of you here!" She rummaged through her bag and got out twenty dollars. "Here." She said, handing it to Alex. "Take Hinata somewhere nice." Before either Alex or Hinata could answer, they were pushed out the door. Shana turned toward her friends. "Can you all take the rest?" she asked, hopefully.
"Uh, no sorry, we can't!" said Melanie and they all quickly left. They had to drag Alyssa though.
"No…. Sasuke…." She didn't want to leave, being the Sasuke-fangirl she was.
