"Naruto, get your butt over here now! You didn't clean up your room!" was the usual greeting Naruto Uzumaki received from his mother.
"Mom, I told you, I was late so I had no time!" He slammed the front door, not caring whether his mother yelled or not.
"Naruto Minato Uzumaki, don't you talk back to me!" His mother shouted from the kitchen. "Now hurry up and change, Mrs. Nara and Mrs. Haruno are coming over, and I don't want them to see you dressed in orange!"
Naruto merely grumbled as he ran up the stairs to his bedroom. His mother was such a pain! Always bossing him about! He wished his Dad was here but he knew that was impossible. His father was all the way in Hong Kong with his new family and Naruto's step- brothers. He liked Konohamaru and Udon but he hated his step-mother, that good-for-nothing-showing-off-dad-stealer!
Just the thought of her made his blood curdle with suppressed anger. Trying to shake her out of his thoughts, he turned on his desktop computer and signed in. Checking the online list, he saw Shino, Kiba and Neji online. He remembered giving them his e-mail during Art while their teacher Mrs. Kurenai blabbed on about sculptures.
He immediately double-clicked on Kiba. He liked Kiba the most due to his wildness.

Naruto wasn't one to hate people but he disliked his mother's friends at sight. They were always saying how cute he was, how tall he was getting and how his hair would stick up. Like he didn't know all that! He knew he was devastatingly handsome, very tall and wore excessive amount of gel, thank you very much!
Naruto sighed angrily and got up from his frog-shaped chair. He had to choose clothes that weren't orange according to his mother.
He selected a pair of dark blue jeans and a loose black t-shirt. She'll implode cause' of the dark colours I'm wearing. Score!
"Naruto! C'mere sweetie!" His mother spoke from the other side of his door.
He blanched. If his mother was being overly nice, it meant he had to something totally stupid.
"Yes…mom?" His voice just screamed fear.
"Mrs. Nara and Mrs. Haruno are bringing their children too so I'd like you to be extra nice today, okay?"
Naruto tried his hardest not to faint. That pink haired show-off coming? Here? To his house? No, no, no! Not in a million years.
When he said this aloud, his mother barged in. "Naruto! How dare you be so mean to Mrs. Haruno's daughter! She's a very nice girl!"
Nice?! HA! She's horrible! And I bet she smells like pickles!
"Mom, she's annoying! And so's her friend, the pineapple head!"
"Naruto, I'm warning you, no badmouthing my guests!" His mother stomped out, her grumbling audible.
Naruto sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time and got dressed. If he had known his mother would be like this, he'd have stayed in Hong Kong. But, he missed her and her antics. She was very funny when she wanted to be.

Later that evening
--
"Naruto, hurry up and set the table! I have to set up the DVDs!"
Naruto groaned. He had forgotten that his mother loved movies. Especially those romantic, gushy, kissy-kissy ones. The one that made her cry for no reason. Like that ship movie. It was hilarious when the blond guy drowned but his mother just wept. Women.
"'Kay. Hey, mom, what's for grub?"
"It's called food, honey and no, it is NOT ramen!"
"Crud."
Ding-Dong! Their doorbell rang cheerfully.
"Naruto, hurry up with the cutlery!" His mother fussed with her hair while racing to the door.
"Welcome, Tsunade!" His mother enveloped Tsunade with her infamous bear hugs. "Thanks for coming!"
Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Nonsense, Kushina! It's lovely of you to have us! And, where is Blondie?"
"…" Naruto walked in from the dining room. His face revealed no emotion.
"Ah, Blondie! Still spiky, eh?" Tsunade Haruno hugged him too. "Have you met Sakura? I heard that she was in your class!"
Sakura stepped inside the house only to be bear-hugged by Kushina Uzumaki.
"Good eveni-Aargh!" Sakura had spotted Naruto standing in front of her mother. "You live here?!" She was evidently shocked to the extreme.
"Yeah. What, can't live here now?" Naruto was not amused.
"Course' you can, you moron! I just thought Mrs. Uzumaki had no children!"
"Oh shut up! How would you know? You don't even know her!"
"No, YOU shut up! Of course I know her! She's my mom's best friend! She's always coming to our house and stuff!"
They both glared at each other.
Mrs. Uzumaki smiled gently; it was clear on her face that she enjoyed watching them bicker. "Sakura, I have one child, Naruto, but Mr. Uzumaki had custody of him for most of his life, so that's why you didn't see him. And, Naruto, what Sakura said is true. I am Tsunade's best friend."
Tsunade laughed. "Anyway, what movie today, Kushina? And has Yoshino arrived yet? I've been looking forward to ask her about hey baby!"
Kushina turned from Sakura and Naruto to answer.
"…" Naruto and Sakura were still glaring at each other.
Sakura was the first to quit. She had gotten bored of this.
Naruto mentally grinned. HA! He opened his mouth to mock her but was silenced by their doorbell ringing again.
Ding Dong!
"I'll get it!" Naruto shouted joyfully. Anything to get away from Pinky.
He opened the door and smiled warmly. "Welcome, Mrs. Nara."
"Uh...It's just me. My mom couldn't make it, her baby's due soon…so she said I could come here." Shikamaru spoke quickly. "Is that OK with your mom?"
"Hang on a sec, I'll ask her." Naruto turned around to go but came face to face with Sakura.
"Move, blondie. Shikamaru's behind you."
"Uh..DUH!"
"Whatever" She pushed him out of her way and began to ask lengthy questions about Shikamaru's mother's unborn child.
"Uh…Mom? Yeah, Shikamaru wants to tell you all something." Naruto half-yelled, half-shouted.
"Coming!" His mother cooed from the living room. They were undoubtedly watching some kissy-kissy movie. Nothing else would put his mother in such a good mood.
Mrs. Uzumaki paused the movie, got up and made her way to her son. "Yes?"
"Pineapp-I mean, Shikamaru wants to talk with you. Something about a baby…?"
Naruto wasn't known for his amazing memory.
"Heavens! I'd better go!" She turned around and shouted, "Tsunade! Nara's about to pop!"
Kushina was famous for her straight-forwardness.
"Ne?! Coming!" Tsunade shouted.
Long story short, both mothers rushed to the hospital leaving Shikamaru and Sakura with Naruto.
"So…whadda we do now?" Sakura asked no-one in particular.
Yes, I know. Not one of my best but it'll do...Enjoy, mes amis!
