I am sorry to interrupt this regularly scheduled programming for this important rubber ducky announcement…
Intermission[Sasuke's eighth birthday)
Sasuke looked down at the presents on the table. His childish face was alight with glee as he waited for his brother.
He didn't wait long, however, because said brother chose just then to appear in the doorway. Itachi smiled slightly down at his eager little brother, and ruffled his hair as he passed the younger.
"Can I pleeease open them now?!" The younger pleaded. The elder just made a 'carry on' gesture with his hands and the younger squealed with happiness.
Minutes later, he was down to his final present, from Itachi. He ripped the paper off and blinked at the little yellow thingin his hand.
His face scrunched up in confusion. "What is it?"
The elder laughed. "That, squirt, is a rubber duck."
He blinked again. "What's it do?"
Itachi got a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, there is a song…"
"NEEEJJJJJIII!!!" the Uchiha huffed, after running all the way to the bus stop, the next morning.
Said pale eyed boy looked up from whatever he was doing and smiled at the small boy running like a madman down the road.
"Whew!" he dug around his bag and pulled out a… rubber duck? Neji just stared at him, as if he grew another head.
"I've got a rubber duck! I've got a rubber duck!" (Think Jack Sparrow's "I've got a jar of dirt"). He was smiling, showing his molars. "Itachi got it for me for my birthday!"
When the younger had first begun chanting, Neji had grabbed his tape recorder (… Why you may ask, did he have one?) and discreetly turned it on. He was still smirking when Sasuke stopped chanting to catch his breath.
"And why is this rubber duck so important?" Neji asked.
"Because!" Sasuke whined in that tone that only children could pull off with out sounding like a loon. "Itachi got it for me for my birthday! AND he taught me a song to go with it!"
And with that, he proceeded to sing with an amazingly on key and nice singing voice:
"Rubber Ducky, you're the one,
You make bath time lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you;
(woh woh, bee doh!)
Rubber Ducky, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!
(doo doo doo doooo, doo doo)
Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby!)
Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.
Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubbyi!)
Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of -
Rubber ducky, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you!
(doo doo, be doo.)"
By the time he finished, Neji was about dying with laughter. Sasuke just looked annoyed at his friend when he realized everyone waiting for the bus also heard, and were laughing. His cheeks tinged dark pink, as he looked to the ground in embarrassment.
"HA! And I got that on tape!" Neji howled…
[Present day, rewind about 2 days)
"Let our youthful interrogation of the Uchiha continue!" Gai yelled, at the beginning of Sasuke's second drama class. "Naruto, you first!"
Naruto blinked. "I forgot…"
A/N: Yes. There you go, the awe-inspiring rubber ducky story.
I will still hope to update again this weekend, and I am still looking for fifty reviews! Again for the fiftieth reviewer, I will write you a 'Holiday' present. Whatever one-shot of your choice! Just need the details and such. ANYWOOT, well… I know the whole theater class scene disappoints, SO I will give you the choice to write it! The one with the best idea for what it to be (because I am having just such a hard time with it!) You don't have to write it, just an idea if you wish, but the winner will also get a 'Holiday' present (see above for details). Thanks for the reviews for that last chapter, they came so quick! ALSO I HIT OVER 1100 HITS LAST NIGHT!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
