A/N: I'm sorry for the short chapters! I wasn't thinking about that when I was writing it, because it's a gift for a friend, and I gave it all to her once. I didn't really realize how short they were until it was pointed out. So, very sorry!

Random trivia for the day: I actually based the theater process here off of the process at the youth theater I act at, and the foundation color mentioned is actually a color of Ben-Nye foundation that I think would fit Naruto. Also, more random trivia, I was actually originally going to have them perform "A Midsummer Night's Dream", but I couldn't find my precious copy of it anywhere. So, I decided to just make upp a play and say that Naruto wrote it. And I actually like that I did that, because that means that I get to sneak an Off*Beat reference in there :D.

(But I still can't find my copy of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" T-T)

Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me.

A few weeks later
Opening Night

Here it is. Opening night. Oh, boy... Two and a half months of rehearsals, costume fittings, and little sleep, and now it's the big night. Sakura is in the front row, along with my uncle Kakashi, and his boyfriend, Iruka. We're in the bay, about to do warm ups. Normally, we do them sooner, but something was going on and they had to be rushing around doing something, and we barely had enough volunteers to cover makeup and hair (I had to step in and do makeup for a few people).

It looks like everything is set, but the stage manager, Tenten, apparently has some big announcement before we get started.

"Okay, everyone, um... As some of you may have noticed, we're missing someone. Specifically, we're missing Miss Hinata Hyuga."

...Shit. What? What does this mean? Is the show canceled? What happened to Hinata? Is she sick? In the hospital? What are we going to do?

"Okay, everybody, um, I know that seems horrible, and, well, it is, but, don't worry, we already have a replacement. Now, this person wasn't our first choice, but, they're the only person here who knows the part and has acting experience."

Who? An ASM? A Techie? Oh, god, I'm going to have to kiss whoever it is!

"So, tonight, playing the part of Tory Blake is..."

Please, don't let it be someone horrible... At the very least, not Lee...

"Your director, Naruto Uzumaki!"

...

YES! This is way better than I was hoping for! I get to kiss Naruto! I get to kiss him without worrying that someone will see us and find out! And, of course, the thought of Naruto in a dress... isn't exactly horrible.

"Okay, everyone, now, I was going to have Shikamaru and Neji lead warm-ups, but those two useless ASM's are probably making out in a closet or a bathroom somewhere. Either way, we can't find them, so I'm going to lead you guys in warm ups. Oh, except for you, Sasuke! You need to go back to the boy's dressing room and go over everything with Naruto."

"Okay." Yes!

"Just make sure you two warm up a bit."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Shut it, smart alec."

Trying not to smirk too much, I run off to the dressing rooms, hearing the first lines of "Hey, Burrito!" echo behind me. When I get there, I burst in without knocking. "Naruto!" He looks up from a make-up case and smiles at me.

"Hey, Sasuke. So, you heard about Hinata, then?"

I walk over to and kiss him briefly, before pulling away and holding him. "Yeah. She okay?"

"Mm-hm. Just the flu. Not bad enough that she might die or anything, but bad enough so that she has to stay at home."

"I figured." I step back a little, and take in what Naruto's wearing. The dress that Hinata was going to use is obviously a bit small for him, so instead he's wearing an orange knee-length dress, with a darker orange (What the hell is with him and orange?) mini-sweater thing. His hair has been brushed and hair-sprayed down. He looks... Well, pretty damn hot.

He catches me staring at him, and smirks at me. "See something you like?"

I smirk back. "Let it suffice to say that right now, I'm resisting pinning you against the nearest horizontal surface and..." I trail off, letting him fill in the blank.

"Well, as great as that sounds, we've got to go onstage and perform in about fifteen minutes, and I still need to finish getting ready."

I let my smirk turn into a smile. "What do you need to do?"

"Just put makeup on." He goes back to the makeup case and starts looking through it. "I don't suppose you have any idea how to do makeup?"

"Actually, you would be surprised." I go over to him and start looking in the case. "Let's see... foundation...Ah, Soft Caramel, this should work!" I pull out the foundation and turn to Naruto, pushing him down onto a chair. I grab a makeup sponge from the container, and put a small streak of it on his face to make sure it matches. "Perfect!" I get to work putting an even coat on his face.

Once that's done, I grab a small thing of blush. I get a brush and start to carefully apply just the right amount. Then, I put on a bit of eyeliner before getting out the large eye shadow pallet and choose a dark orange to go with his dress. Finally, I choose a red lipstick. "Open your mouth." Once he does, I grab a cotton swab and apply just enough to make it stand out on stage without making him look like a tramp. I pull back and examine my work. It's pretty good, if I do say so myself.

"Okay, look in the mirror." He does, and then turns to me, looking impressed.

"Wow. This looks great! But..."

"What? But what?"

"... How did you get so good at putting on makeup?"

"...Sakura."

"Ah."
