Well, 10 screwdrivers and 7 margaritas later, Diana was in Dominik's lap on the couch. Kakuzu was trying his hardest not to fain anymore. Kisame and Zetsu were drunk but they had themselves under control. Dana and Itachi…well let's just say Itachi was currently very thankful on the holiday of thanks…that's all about that. Hidan and Tobi were looking at Deidara's baby book….he really was a cute kid. As for Sasori he was outside having a cigarette…he seldom smoked, unless he was around Deidara's mother. Deidara was still drinking screwdrivers with his father and mother.
"Yuh know, it's been a nice Thanksgiving, yeah. I have my babies here and my husband's home for a while. We haven't had a Thanksgiving like this in a few years, yeah." Diana said.
"Hey mom remember that one Thanksgiving when we were in Cancun and those Mexican guys kept trying to get dad to drink the worm at the bottom of the tequila, yeah?" Deidara asked.
"Oh god! Oh god! How could we evuh forget that, yeah!? It was hilarious!" Diana said. It had truly been a fabulous Thanksgiving. Of course no trip to Iwagakure was complete without Deidara modeling the latest fashions his father brought back form Milano.
"Okay, Deidara, you're mother and I are going to go outside and have a cigarette, you find your sister and then I want you both to model a few things for me, I brought back, yeah." Dominik said. The thought of Dominik playing dress up with his children made Kisame and Zetsu a little nervous. After all, they had seen things Dominik had dressed Dana up in on previous occasions and it was hard to believe a father would put the things on his daughter that he did. But, they figured it was best to just allow a father to bond with his children.
Dana and Itachi finally emerged from wherever they had been in the house.
"Dana, dad wants us to model some stuff he brought back before me and everyone else leaves today, yeah."
"Oh my god! I love modeling daddy's stuff, yeah!" Dana said hurrying into another room to get rid of her shoes. Diana, Dominik and Sasori had come in from their mid-Thanksgiving cigarette and Dominik opened up a huge garment bag.
"Dana, honey, go put this on and stand on my box so I can pin it, yeah." Dominik instructed his daughter. "Deidara, put this suit on, it's not my design, but I want to see how my scarf looks with it, yeah." Kisame blinked a few times….he couldn't believe what was about to happen. It was all true, this was in fact what Deidara's father did for a living…but he had always thought it was all a bizarre myth…until now. He pulled Zetsu off the couch and drug him outside before all the pinning an cursing in Italian began.
"Okay, daddy, this is falling off everywhere, yeah." Dana said holding up a dress on her that was hardly enough fabric to be a dress. And then came the first string of cursing in Italian.
"Honey, I tried to tell that asshole he made it too big, damn Paris designer, yeah! Stand on the box, I'll pin it, yeah." Deidara's mother was in the kitchen answering the 573625 questions Tobi had. Dana held the dress on her while her father stuck pins all over the place…Itachi's job was to hand him the pins.
675 pins later…"Hmmmm….I don't know honey…Deidara go get the full length mirror, yeah." Deidar ran off to get the mirror his father always used when he dressed up his children. Deidara held it up in front of Dana.
"Well, daddy…I think the pink color is gross…you know it doesn't show enough skin does it, yeah?" Dana asked. Hidan nearly chocked because the dress Dana was wearing had a 10 inch slit in the side and was practically backless and now her father was insisting that it covered too much, but what happened next did make Hidan choke…
"Itachi, do you think this dress is too conservative, yeah?" Dominik asked.
"Yeah, and Dana's right the pink is awful." Itachi said. No one seemed to notice Hidan choking, and Dominik, Dana, Deidara and Itachi were all only three feet from him.
"Oh my god! I had totally forgotten! Sasori get in here! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on TV!" Kisame loved the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, he taped it every year, but this year he had gotten so sidetracked with the Iwagakure visit that he had forgotten his beloved parade.
"Here I come Kisame!" Sasori yelled from the other room. Sasori loved watching the parade with Kisame. They liked to have their own float contest.
"Okay, Dana, honey, take this dress off before I throw up, it's awful I'm sending it back to that damn Paris designer and telling him his stuff is crap, yeah. Deidara get on the box, son, yeah." And so Deidara stepped up on his father's little box where he always did alterations. "Hmmm…okay….okay…Itachi, pins, yeah." Dominik ordered and he beginning stabbing Deidara with pins all over the suit jacket. "There, that fits you much better, yeah. Keep your shoulders back son; it doesn't hang properly if you don't, yeah." Dominik told him as he pulled out one of his newest scarf designs. He wrapped it around Deidara's neck and pulled his hair forward over it…He immediately wasn't pleased.
"Hold on, I have to get another cigarette, I can't think, yeah." Dominik quickly lit up another cigarette and began redesigning his son. Twenty-Five minutes later he had Deidara looking just the way he wanted. However, it was getting late and Thanksgiving was coming to a close.
"Well, Dad thanks for letting me help you out with your scarf design, yeah." Deidara said. "Now that Kisame and Sasori have gotten to see the rest of the parade, we're going to have to get back to the apartment, yeah." Everyone began to say their goodbyes.
"Diana, you will always be the woman I can never have." Sasori said hugging Deidara's mother.
"Oh Sasori! You're such a good kid, yeah!" Diana hugged him.
"Bye Daddy." Dana said throwing her arms around her father.
"Goodbye baby, and remember if Itachi does anything to every hurt you, I'll tear his balls off, yeah."
"Oh daddy, I love you, yeah!" Dana said. And so Akatsuki left Iwagakure and headed back home. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
