Part 7
The Gottlieb home was filled with bloated teenagers. The pancakes had been demolished in a matter of minutes when an eating contest had been started. Naruto had won of course, but Kiba came in a close second. The two demolished over 40 pancakes between them, but everyone else had eaten their share. Akamaru even ate some and is currently laying on his back with the rest of party.
"Ugh!" Ame bellowed as she unbuttoned her pants for more room. Kiba whistled at her and she shot him a glare. "Shut up! Let's watch Night of the Living Dead!" A chorus of groans echoed around the room.
Hinata stuttered, "A-Ame-Chan, we just ate. Some of us might... um... n-not be able to watch z-zombies without hurling." She saw Ame's crushed face and hurriedly added, "I'm so sorry Ame-Chan! We can watch your movie!"
Ame pouted, "No, you are right, Hinata. I don't want to have to clean that up." She brightened as an idea struck her, "I've got it! We can watch the first Saw movie!"
Lee turned to Sasuke and said quietly, "I think she missed the point of Hinata's statement."
Sasuke just shrugged, "I don't mind those movies. I didn't eat as much as you all did. I'm above immature eating contests." He grabbed his stomach in memory of the real reason he didn't participate. The last time he challenged Naruto in a contest like that, it ended in a lot of throwing up.
"Can we watch a movie that ISN'T scary or disgusting?" Tenten asked hopefully. She hated movies like that. They gave her nightmares for a week and she didn't want to look uncool in front of Neji. She looked back at him and saw him leaning against a wall by himself.
Ame saw Tenten's look and followed her gaze to Neji. He didn't seem to be interested or having fun. Ame wondered why he even bothered to come to the party. Her thoughts were interrupted by Saya elbowing her ribs, "What?"
"Can we watch a movie that isn't gory and scary?" Tenten repeated for the third time.
"Oh, sorry. All I have is disgustingly gory and terrifying. Wonderful isn't it?" She gave her token cute smile and sat up from the floor, "Saya, don't you entertain for a living? What should we do?"
Saya thought for a moment before suggesting, "A dance party! I mean there was a little dancing before, but we should plan a big dance for the entire village and have karaoke and stuff! We can have it in your backyard, it's pretty big."
Ame jumped up excitedly and yelled, "That's a great idea! Alright everyone, if we are gonna pull this off today we need to get started. Naruto, since you have the biggest mouth, you get to spread the word!" Naruto grumbled, but got up and ran out the door. "Ino and Sakura, can I trust you two with the decorations?" Both nodded so she continued, "Lee and Tenten, start to move tables outside, but we might need to find more." The two headed out to the kitchen to find tables.
She had gotten bored and started to spin in circles, much to the amusement of the people watching. Suddenly, Ame remembered that more people still needed jobs. She looked over her remaining troops. Kiba, Saya, Shino, Neji, Sasuke, Anjay and Hinata stared back at her as she began to pace in front of them. She had taken on a serious, military-like demeanor, "Alright men, the next jobs I will give out are of the utmost importance. Hinata and Anjay, you are on kitchen duty, you are in charge of creating delicious snacks that won't poison the party goers. Saya and Kiba, you have been chosen to find the karaoke equipment and a sound system. Kiba will be the DJ, but Saya will help pick the music." Everyone was too stunned by the personality 180 to argue. They left to carry on their jobs.
"What about us?" Sasuke asked, referring to himself, Neji, and Shino.
"You guys are the guys that just hang around in a mysterious, cool way. So just stand there just like you are now. Except, Sasuke, you need to look more confused. PERFECT! Now freeze!" Ame had no idea that the confusion on Sasuke's face was real confusion.
"What are you going to do?" Neji finally spoke for the first time since arriving at the party. Ame decided then and there she was going to teach him how to have fun.
"I'm going to pick everyones outfits! You know, I just realized you guys have the 'too-cool for this' look down, You are going to help me! Grab hands! We don't want anyone to get lost!" Ame forced the boys to grab ands and led the train to the formal-wear store.
