Readers, we need to talk...

There's something big going on and we need to quit fanfiction for awhile if not all together. It's a little difficult to explain so we won't even bother. It's kind of a big thing doing this just right now so we're not gonna reply to any reviews or anything anymore. If you guys still wanna write fics, draw fanart, make doujins, do it. Keep the story alive. If anyone wants to adapt this as there own, feel free to.

We did this little skit thing with the characters at the bottom that tells the rest of the story. Didn't wanna leave you hanging too much. Nah, didn't wanna pull a konfektx3 and just leave. Heh, major love to anyone who knows who she is...

Major sorry for this. Really, we didn't wanna stop, but we have to.

Neon Kiiroi, we failed as Betas, sorry. We haven't been reading the e-mail and we're not gonna be able to from here on out. :(

Well, if we do come back, we'll see you guys then. If not,... it was fun, yeah? Had some laughs. Yeah...

Btw, there's a book coming out. Maybe not soon, but there will be a book coming out, by someone named A. F. Jones (and no it's not a Hetalia reference, his last name is really Jones and his middle is Franklin, go figure). I don't know the title, but if you see the author, you guys should check it out. Some of the characters might seem familiar to you, they're all pretty deranged really. ;)

Mad love ya'll. Peace.

Usagi ran into the green room. (a/n: lol deja vu much?)

"We've been canceled!"

Naruto sat up instantly. "My series?"

"Huh?" the girl asked. "No, the fanfic."

"Oh." The blonde visibly relaxed. "I thought you meant my series. Phew! Scare the crap outta me much, Rabs? Fuck the what."

"You stupid deck!" Usagi smacked the back of his head. "I'm an OC, betch! This was the only place I got screentime! What about my fans!"

"You had fans?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes! That's why I was demanded to be put in the sequel!"

"I thought it was just because people wanted to see you get a boyfriend."

"We're you gonna get a boyfriend?" TenTen piped in from the other side of the room.

"It was open ended," Usagi replied. "There was talk of me being with this dick." She pointed to Sasuke. "And Haku but in the end it was open for who it would be since it's never official."

"Why Haku?" Naruto asked.

Usagi shrugged. "Idk, it was gonna be some character development later on in the story about how we connect through our otakuness and ability to speak French while understanding each other without having to speak at all. Or some bullshit like that."

"I think being with Sasuke-kun is more believable," Hinata commented. She turned shyly to Haku. "No offense."

"None taken," Haku replied. "May I ask why though?"

"Oh, well, I just think since Usagi-san is close to Naruto-kun personality wise, it'd be easier for Sasuke-kun to handle her," Hinata explained.

"Why're you still using honorifics?" TenTen asked her.

"Well, it's how I speak in canon too..."

"I think I shouldn't be with her because she's close to him in personality," Sasuke argued. "That's like in indirect love towards him isn't it?"

"Is your masculinity that threatened?" Usagi asked him. "Whatever, I still think it's better for me not to be with anyone. Someone's gotta be a strong independent woman 'round here."

"What about me?" TenTen asked.

"Aren't you pining for that Lee guy."

"Am I? I don't even know where the story was going."

Itachi started to leaf through the "script". "Okay, so the main plot was Naruto and Hinata's relationship strengthening through them learning what it's like to be in a relationship and having to deal with things like uncertainty in the distance between them, possible rivals, and overall culture shock when it comes to things like this."

"How was that all gonna go down?" Naruto asked.

"I'm pretty sure that's what I was for," Kiba popped outta nowhere with Shino on his side. Shino was disgruntled from the very fact that his appearance was cut off before it was even given. He was Kiba's token bug friend, dammit, he should've been mentioned sooner.

"Apparently," Neji began. He was rifling through the pages much like Itachi. "Naruto was supposed to become uncomfortable around Kiba after learning that he was Hinata's ex and feel the need that he could be better than him while Hinata still felt that Usagi was a possible rival since her and Naruto are bff's and pretty close."

"Dude, you just said bff!" Naruto laughed.

"It's what it says!"

"So I guess that also plays into the whole questioning the distance?" TenTen guessed. "Sounds too complex."

Usagi looked up from her own booklet. Suddenly they were popping out of everywhere. "Not even. Sometime later, Hinata was supposed to come out in that magazine's photoshoot with Haku and become some kind of Internet idol and get all these crazy otaky fans. How the hell was that gonna play out."

"I think that's an Easter egg," Mitchi said. "Y'know, those unfinished prototypes that come out in games on accident. Like that one ending to Silent Hill where a dog was controlling everything."

"Yeah, I know what an Easter egg is, I play games."

"The main plot is nothing compared to the sub plots," Sasuke said. "Who wants to hear?"

"Me! Me!" Naruto and Usagi chanted, gathering around him and curling on either side of him on the couch.

"So Itachi's working for Pein, who's the head of this Yakuza group and their whole plot is to overload the Japanese and American governments with their own people from their own respected nations in an attempt to divert globalization and create an empire after overthrowing the Americans while secretly creating a military based off of other Yakuza groups. Since Itachi's American in the fic, he'd be one of those that would be in charge of overloading the American government."

"Fuck the where did that plot twist come from?"

"Can that happen?"

Neji huffed. "It's made up."

"Anyway," Sasuke continued. "Konan apparently had enough with it and made her magazine thing taking some of the group with her and some going back an' forth as a guard thing to make sure she stays quiet. The magazine is the same one that Haku works for, and is their way into what Itachi's doing. The plot with TenTen was that she had to race in a drag competition that Pein's group holds monthly so that they could be recruited into the whole thing and be an official Yakuza group instead of just a bike gang. Haku finds out and thinks that TenTen is joining up again and tells everyone else and before Hinata can explain what's going on, we go on an undercover sting to 'rescure' her which ends up in me joining the races."

"This is subplot?" Itachi asked. "It's more plot than the real plot."

"Hell, that's not all. Okay, so you're apparently racing under Pein so that they could keep the annoying bike gangs who knows what's up from coming out. The race goes that three cars go up against each other, the way to win is to throw the other two off course and making them crash and unable to go on. The winner is granted one request from the Head of the one who hosts or something like that, I don't think it was thought out all that well to the end."

"Wait," Hinata interupts, "This is going on while me and Naruto-kun are broken up."

"What?" TenTen grabs her booklet. "You guys are broken up?"

They all take a moment to sifle through the pages.

"Oh, yeah, we are," Naruto says. "Somewhere along the jealousy we ask each other if we could actually handle a relationship and break up over it."

"That seems unnecassary," Kiba stated.

"It's just drama fuel," Neji told him.

"We get back together though," Naruto goes on. "After the races where Sasuke wins and we meet at that creepy hide out there's this intense samurai sword battle that breaks out after they find out that Sasuke is related to Itachi and I almost die. Eh, it's one of those "omg! I could'ved lost you!" scenes."

"Those are actually pretty romantic," Hinata said.

"Yeah, if you're a teenage girl."

"Someone might take offense to that," Sasuke told him.

"I also feel like that line has been used before," Neji remarked.

"We're in an effing green room," Naruto pointed out. "This whole thing's been used before."

"Wait," Haku said suddenly. "That's not the whole story, there's still all these characters. Ino, Sakura, Aiko, they're involved too."

"Why don't I get a drama filled background?" Mitchi asked.

"You're a gamer, what drama is there for you?"

"That's cold."

"I heard my name," Ino said after popping her head through the door. "What's going on?"

"We're cancelled," Usagi told her.

"Really? I only got two scenes."

"Looks like you weren't gonna get much more though," TenTen told her. "You're character was just for background info and character development for Sakura."

"What?" She grabbed the booklet away from TenTen. "She's right. Well that's a bust."

"But you're not a bad character!" Hinata was quick to point out. "You're problem was just trying to keep a hold on your friends while sucummbing to society's perception of a perfect teenager. Being an otaku in Japanese culture isn't fully a good thing, so you kept me under your thumb to keep me in check, but when it came to be wanting to be who I was, you resented and admired me for being able to be who I want."

"I know you're trying to make me feel better," Ino began, "but that kinda made me feel worse about my character."

"Well it sounds worse when Sakura said it. While there's never any real interaction with Sasuke-kun and them, you told her that she'd never be able to get with someone as good looking as him and that's where she tells you off. But you belittling her is just as an insurance to keep her from running away from you like I did."

Ino sweatdropped. "Yeah, it really makes me feel worse about my character."

"Just think of it this way," TenTen said. "You're not a bad character, just one with some emotional problems."

TenTen plucks her script back from Ino. "I wanna know what goes on with Lee."

"Apparently this Aiko person," Itachi starts, "is kind of like Ino. She gives you a hard time because she trusted you and felt like you backstabbed her when you left the gang to pledge loyalty to Hinata. Anyway, she reallly does like you and wants to help so when she gives you the info to Lee, she takes you to him but it turns out that it wasn't him. It was one of his relatives looking for you. Lee did die in the earthquake, and left behind something for you. Doesn't say what though but it was something that made you cry."

"Dude," Usagi said. "That sucks..."

"Guess I don't end up with anyone," TenTen said sadly.

"Nope," Itachi told her. "You and Neji just end up as friends. Which makes sense 'cause there was too much resentment before hand to turn into a believable relationship."

"You shouldn't be all preachy," Sasuke told him. "You're the one working with people who want to take over the world."

"Or so you think," Itachi said. "But I was undercover for the American government. Sai was only mentioned once, but he's one of us too. We're taking the villains down from the inside."

"Just like canon," Usagi said.

"How'd you know?" Naruto asked her. "You're not in the canon."

While Usagi went around to beating him for his insensitivity, the others went on to talk about the epilouge.

"So the music thing goes through," Sasuke said. "We go through our senior year normally. I head into the music bizz, Naruto and Usagi get roped into their anime store when it starts to go corporate and everyone goes to either the school of their choice or start working full time."

"What about us in Japan?" Mitchi asked.

"Why don't you look it up yourself?" Haku asked. "You have your own script right?"

Mitchi didn't look up from the flashing lights of his gameboy. "Huh?"

"There's no one in Japan," Neji said, earning odd looks. "Look, Hinata ends up running the Japanese side of the VK label from LA with Haku as their first client. TenTen follows, naturally, and Mitchi ends up working the soundboards and working on the CGI of music videos."

"Yay!" Haku cheered. "We're all in LA together! Wait, do I learn English?"

"I would assume," Mitchi sweatdropped. "I know that no one really cares, but I was able to speak English the entire time."

"So why do you act like you can't?"

"Did I? I never spoke in English, but no one ever bothered to ask if I could. You just assumed."

Itachi eyed him warily. "That sounds like a plot hole, but I'll accept it for now."

"Here's another plot hole," Haku said while turning to Hinata. "Why didn't you ever call me by my name?"

Hinata flushed slightly and looked away. "It because I couldn't shorten it like you did with mine and everyone else's."

"That actually makes sense," Naruto said.

"It seems as though the sequel had more depth then the first one," Neji commented.

"The first one was written on a whim with no real point," Itachi reminded him. "That's why it took so long to end."

"How long d'you think this one would've been?" TenTen wondered.

"No more than thirty chapters," Mitchi said.

"That's still pretty long."

"It just meant that we would've got some screentime," Ino said. Kiba and Shino nodded in agreement.

"Well," Naruto began and stretched. "Life is like a box of chocolates."

"You never know what you're gonna get?" Usagi asked him.

"Huh? No. You eat the whole box your stomach'll groan up against a pillow."

Sasuke looked at him, bewilderment clear on his face. "What the fu-? Shut up!"

"Fine, how about... Life is like a CLAMP anime-"

"Halfway through everything goes to hell!" Hinata cut in.

They were both pelted with everyone's scripts
