A SHORT EPILOGUE...
After spending two days at the Disneyland Resort, it was time for everyone to head back to Konoha village. They packed everything up and were now waiting for the bus to take them the airport. They have had a lot of fun and found many surprises while vacationing. They bought no souvenirs, but the only souvenir they really needed were the memories that they created and shared as a group. And those memories were free souvenirs, something that can rarely be found at Disneyland.
As for Choji and Kiba, they were able to obtain free food throughout their entire vacation by impersonating health inspectors, and somehow they were able to get away with it!
Or so they think!
On the morning of departure, Choji and Kiba were having breakfast at the Storyteller's Café. The two had donned their disguises, Kiba including his "blind man" glasses. The two were not very talkative that morning. Akamaru stood next to Kiba's feet, whimpering as Kiba quietly bit into his waffles. Choji only coughed as he clutched his ribs. "Stupid Neji," he muttered, under his breath.
"Hey, just forget about it," Kiba said, quietly.
"If it wasn't for him, we could have seen World of Color!" complained Choji. "And I bet that fried chicken tasted good too!"
"Well, at least we saw the spotlights in the air. That's as good of a view as anyone is going to get with that stupid FASTPASS thing. But hey, you know what Choji, this is our last free meal before we have to go back to Konoha and pay for our food. So let's just forget about Neji and enjoy our food."
"I guess you're right."
Choji and Kiba then finished off the rest of their breakfast. As Kiba was picking his teeth with a toothpick, their waitress walked over to their table. "And how did you gentlemen enjoy your breakfast?" she asked.
"It was delicious!" Kiba praised.
"Yeah, I'll give Disney credit. For it being expensive, it sure it good," added Choji.
"I'm glad you gentlemen liked it," replied the waitress. "So listen guys, before I give you your check, there are two gentlemen here who wish to speak to you."
"Really? Who?" asked Choji.
Just then, two nicely dressed men joined their waitress. One was an older gentlemen dressed in a black suit and tie. The other was much younger and wore only a simple collared shit. They looked at Choji the Kiba. Choji and Kiba were anxious as to who they were. Something in their stomachs told them that these two men being here was a not a good thing. "Good morning gentlemen," one of the men said.
"How are you doing today?" the other asked.
"Ummm...not too bad," Kiba replied, nervously.
"Really? That's good. That's very good."
One of the men looked at Choji. "And you must be Mister Chojo Akamunchi," he said.
"Umm, yes. Can I ask who you two are?" Choji asked.
"Surely, you two would recognize fellow health inspectors," the older man said.
"What now?" Kiba asked, shocked.
The two men then flashed their California Department of Food Safety and Health badges at Kiba and Choji. Choji brought his palm up to his forehead. "Oh crap," he muttered.
"Mister Chojo Akamunchi, we are two health inspectors from the California Department of Food Safety and Health," introduced the elderly man. "The Disneyland Resort gave us a call yesterday about two suspicious gentlemen going into their restaurants and taking advantage of their authority. We were a little suspicious since there was no health inspection scheduled this week."
"We looked up both of your names in our records, and low and behold, neither of your names came up in the system."
Kiba and Choji could only stare at their empty plates as the two rubbed their eyes and their foreheads. They both knew they were screwed. "So, guess what you two are now?" asked the older man.
"We're busted, aren't we?" Kiba asked, solemnly.
"Indeed you are," the younger man said.
"Oh and you take off your sunglasses now," ordered the waitress. "Because we're not buying it."
Kiba did as he was told. The two both took deep breaths and pulled at their hairs. "How much trouble are we in?" Choji asked, on the verge of a breakdown.
"Well, you have two options," proposed the young man. "One, we could call the authorities, have them arrest you both, put you on trial, and if convicted, have you both serve a prison sentence."
"The other option," added the older man, "is to simply pay for every meal you had these past two days."
Kiba and Choji refused to look back up at the two health inspectors. They contemplated their options and decided which was the lesser of two evils. Choji turned his head towards the waitress. "How much do we own you?" Choji asked.
The waitress handed them their check, which had every meal they have eaten charged on it. Choji opened it up and took a quick glance inside. He immediately choked as he saw the high cost. He sat the check on the table and let out a depressed sigh. Kiba reached his hand over towards the bill, but Choji quickly stopped him. He glared at Kiba. "Trust me on this one. We can't afford it," he muttered.
"So you two will be taking the first option," assumed the older man.
Kiba looked around his surroundings and saw something on a nearby serving table that caught his attention. He got up from his seat and stretched his limbs. "No gentlemen, we won't take option one," refused Kiba. "And you know what, we won't take option two either. Instead, we'll take option three!"
In the blink of an eye, Kiba grabbed a nearby coffee pot and flung the hot coffee towards the younger man, thankfully missing the waitress. He then took the empty glass pot and shattered it on the older man's head. Both of the two health inspectors fell to the floor, screaming in anguish. The waitress and Choji were shocked. "Oh my God!" shouted the waitress.
"Kiba, what the hell are you doing?" Choji asked, angrily.
Kiba didn't answer. He only flipped the table over and booked it out of the restaurant. "Come on Akamaru! Let's get the hell out of here!" Kiba shouted, frantically. Kiba ran out of the room with Akamaru running beside him.
Everyone in the restaurant watched as Kiba disappeared out of sight. The waitress and Choji still couldn't believe what had happened. "Ma'am, I am so sorry!" apologized Choji.
"Sorry? You just broke a glass pot over someone's head!" screamed the waitress.
"That was him! Not me!"
"You two are no longer welcome here at Disneyland Resort!"
"Fair enough!" agreed Choji. "To be honest, your food is too damn expensive anyway!"
Choji then jogged out of the restaurant, chasing after Kiba. "Kiba, you idiot! Wait for me!" he shouted. And that was the last time the Disneyland Resort had ever seen those two!
THE END
Alright, NOW I am finally done with "Ninja Love!"
Now allow me to talk about my thoughts on this rewritten fanfiction.
Overall, I thought it was interesting going back to one of my older fanfictions and rewriting it so that it was up to my current writing standards. It was fun and it was a neat little project for me to do. It took longer than I really wanted to take. But hey, real life and other drama gets in the way. So does writer's block.
Even though I am tempted to rewrite my other older fanfictions (especially "Springtime at Disneyland" and "Christmastime at Tokyo Disneyland", I'm not going to for many reasons. One, I can't spare the time to do those rewrites. Two, I feel as if it's better to leave them alone so that people can see how much I have grown as a writer. Three, I need to get back to the fanfictions I'm currently working on.
"But wait!" someone tells me. "What about "Ninja Love 2?" I mean, since you rewrote this story, you HAVE to rewrite that one, right?"
Well, true, I can improve a few things in "Ninja Love 2." However, I'm not going to, for the same reasons as I listed above. I don't want to take eight years to rewrite the ENTIRE 50 CHAPTER STORY when I have other fanfictions I want to work on. Plus, I feel as if "Ninja Love 2" perfectly shows my progression as a writer, especially since it took me two years to write that one. While the beginning chapters are horribly written and the characterization is very off, at the end, I felt like my writing style improved just a bit during those two years and fifty chapters. Messing with it just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
So yeah, despite some continuity problems I have created rewriting "Ninja Love," I'm going to leave the sequel alone so that everyone can enjoy its unaltered glory.
Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. Keep checking my profile for my next fanfiction!
I'm out!
