Laith, "Hey, party people, Laith Weasley back for one final chapter, the bonus chatper."

Haldor, "I'm here too!"

Laith, "And my brother's here with me too since he didn't get to say anything in the epilogue."

Haldor, "By choice. But this isn't part of the story so here I am!"

Laith, "Yeah... Anyway, in case you're wondering why the funky format, well, remember I have this paranoid thing where I fear that someone'll report me for some stupid reason and get the fic deleted. This way it's kinda like chatspeak but not really."

Haldor, "And I came up with it." (happy)

Laith, "Amazingly enough that is true. So anyway, like stated in the last chapter, there was a sort of contest thing to see who could write the better skit and have it posted up. And out of a whopping three entries, we have a winner!"

Haldor, "Woot!"

Laith, "Yeah. Anyway, drumroll please. (looks over) Metaphorically, don't pound on the desk it's old."

Haldor, "Who buys furniture at an antique store?"

Laith, "I do, now shut up. The winner is... xxxturkey!"

(Confettie and balloons everywhere! And those twirly noise makers. Those are fun.)

Laith, "So here you guys go. Bonus skit thing by our winner and we'll see you at the end of it. Enjoy."

The curtain had been lowered to the floor and the troupe of actors and actresses were finished with their play, able to bask in the glow of a well finished production. But even in the confines of the evidently misnamed 'green room', the audience could still be heard applauding.

All the heads turned as the door stage door opened and a silver haired man sauntered through.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, are Naruto and Hinata still out there?" Sakura asked, moving her head from where it had been resting against the wall.

"Yeah, I think he enjoys the applause" Kakashi replied, a small grin evident through the mask.

"Tch, he thinks the whole story was all about him" Kiba muttered, though he was grinning too. Kakashi nodded.

"Nevertheless, the performance went well. Everyone did brilliantly" he congratulated. Nods and smiles broke out among the group.

"Still, it was a difficult task to play a stalker" Lee announced.

"At least you got what you wanted in the end; my incestuous love for my cousin was rejected" Neji countered dryly.

"At least you were attracted to a girl, I was gay. For Naruto" Shikamaru pointed out from his stretched out position on the floor. He opened one eye and noticed the look he was being given.

"Not that there's anything wrong with being gay… but… still…" he muttered.

"Don't worry Shikamaru-san, I was gay too. We were gay together!" Sai smiled down encouragingly at the boy on the floor.

The room fell silent as each and every person in the room attempted to suppress laughter, and failed. With the exception of Shino.

Chouji wiped his still watering eyes as the laughter died down.

"Playing a drug addict was pretty tough though, I'm just glad I managed to survive…"

"You think you all had it tough, I was a…" Tenten trailed off.

"Whore?"

"Prostitute?"

"Sex trade worker?"

"Hooker?"

"Call girl?"

"Lady of the night?"

"Lady of the night!?" Tenten fumed, turning to the Hyuuga genius.

No response.

Tenten glared at each and every contributing male in the room and then fell silent.

"I had to deal with Sasuke-kun's death" Sakura pointed out, turning mournfully to the boy in question.

"I was the one who actually died" he pointed out levelly.

"He wins it" Shikamaru's voice stated from the floor.

There were a few moments of silence.

"Wins what?" Ino questioned.

"It" Shikamaru repeated.

"Which is…?" Temari posed.

"Why do I always have to deal with explaining everything?" the lazy boy protested.

"Are you gonna answer?" both blondes chimed in. Shikamaru sighed.

"Nope, not this time" he replied wearily, as the stage door burst open.

A wave of noise entered the room, along with Naruto dragging a slightly stunned yet incredibly happy Hinata.

"Hey! Can you hear that? They love us!" the blonde enthused as Hinata joined him at his side.

"Hey! Kakashi-sensei! Can you hear that?!" he asked excitedly. Kakashi only nodded, a smile still on his face. Naruto's expression suddenly turned a little nonplussed.

"What's with the silence? What were you guys talking about?" he wondered.

"Oh, just how Tenten's a who-" Sai started, before Sakura slammed her palm to his mouth.

"We were saying how some of the acting was hard!" she exclaimed, praying Tenten hadn't heard the tactless boys words. Naruto nodded.

"I guess it was hard for you to act like a teacher, huh? Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto joked.

"Hmm" was the only response.

"I bet it was hard for you too Hinata?" Naruto asked, this time more seriously.

The indigo haired girl found no response available from her mouth; she only stared at the blonde in front of her.

"Y'know, I was beginning to think you being in love with me wasn't an act" he admitted with a grin.

"…" Hinata managed, words catching in her throat.

What silence there was in the room seemed to deepen. Behind Naruto, Sasuke reached for the lamp on the table beside him. This time, he had been prepared.

"Ah well. She looks great though right?" he asked almost rhetorically, blind to the dark stares he was getting from ninety percent of the room.

Sasuke's fingers closed over the lamp. Now he just had to…

"We're gonna go back out there!" Naruto announced, dragging the now madly blushing girl from the room again.

"Damn" Sasuke muttered as the door swung shut, muffling the sounds coming from the stage.

"Idiot" Neji stated flatly.

"That's not even the half of it" Sakura added.

The volume from the stage increased further. It seemed they had returned to the limelight.

The room stayed silent, each person contemplating the depths of Naruto's denseness.

But slowly, a noise from the stage seemed to filter through the walls, capturing the room's attention.

"Is that… chanting?" Kankuro wondered aloud.

"What are they saying?" Sakura asked.

"Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss" Gaara intoned. The effect of having the redhead repeat the words was a little unnerving, before mass realisation dawned on the actual meaning behind them.

A few seconds passed, followed by sounds of cheering.

"They're cheering" Kiba stated.

"No shit" Sasuke replied with a grin, slipping his hand away from the lamp.

Haldor, "I like the part where they come up with names for TenTen."

Laith, "Oh so sure you would have."

Haldor, "What that supposed to mean?"

Laith, "Misa, just because you didn't win doesn't mean it wasn't good. You did a great job with what you tried to do. Other guy, I don't really know you, but you did a good job too. And thanks, but I didn't really technically make my MySpace."

Haldor, "Our sister did. Girl's insane when it comes to making MySpaces. Almost broke my arm 'cause I said she couldn't mess with mine."

Laith, "But she can do cool stuff with HTML codes and stuff like that."

Haldor, "Yeah she can, but I still don't want her touching it."

Laith, "Whatever. Anyway, there weren't any questions but there were annonymous reviews so we'll just take this time to answer those."

Haldor, "First review is from: Yo. Dude, that's legit.

Laith, "Don't use legit that way! I hate it when people do that."

Haldor, "You don't say anything to Madge when she does it."

Laith, "(rolls eyes) Anyway.. First off, thanks for the review. Glad that you liked Naruto's character so much. Awesome for me to hear that."

Haldor, "You only say that because Naruto's-"

Laith, "(smacks him) As for the character development, that was a major must to do since I admire that more than anything else really. And I would write a One Piece fic, but I've never really seen a complete episode or actually read any of it. It's on my "to do" list, but when I get around to it, I probably will write a fic."

Haldor, "(rubs face) You already talked to Misa so the next review is from: Paco. Don't you have a cousin named Paco?"

Laith, "Cousin, uncle, and grandfather. Probably more than I know, it's hard to keep track of everyone... Anyway, Paco, I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who would've wanted to punch Sasuke in the balls."

Haldor. "Mofo should've had plunger stuck up his ass."

Laith, "(doesn't know whether to laugh or what) Uh.. (ends of laughing) What?"

Haldor, "You know in Friday-"

Laith, "I know, just.. whatever. Anyway, wow, two days? Didn't think it would take that long to read it. Happy you did though, and of course, thanks for the review."

Haldor, "It took Benji six days to read it."

Laith, "Yeah, but that's Benj. Anyway, next review."

Haldor, "Uh... Next review is from: fester06."

Laith, "Sup, Fester? I know, I have the knack for writing more AU fanfiction than actual canon."

Haldor, "Well is you want canon-"

Laith, "Merry, not here. Anyway, very heartwarming to hear it's beleivable 'cause that's exactly what I wanted it to be."

Haldor, "Well how the hell was it not going to be believable? Everything except for the whole "love" thing was everything that we-"

Laith, "(smacks him again) Let me just say, thanks again for everyone who read this 'till the very end. You reviewer rock, and even you guys who didn't rock."

Haldor, "You would've gotten more if you asked for them."

Laith, "I'm not a review whore like someone I know."

Haldor, "That was cold..."

Laith, "Anyway, later guys. Hope to see you around later on with my new fics."

Haldor, "You already published another one. WIthout even telling me!"

Laith, "It was a spur of the moment thing."

Haldor, "Shouldn't you not be doing another fic already?"

Laith, "Well yeah. What with that one collaboration project thing and the CD contest with me and Bills."

Haldor, "What about me?!"

Laith, "What about you?"

Haldor, "What about the fic that we were supposed to do together?"

Laith, "... Oh! I forgot all about that."

Haldor, "(cries in the corcer) T.T So not loved..."

Laith, "It's not that, just... can't we put that off for later? Besides, you haven't even finished that chapter for that other fic of yours."

Haldor, "I'm getting to it..."

Laith, "Work on those, let me catch up with all my stuff, and then I'll write it with ya."

Haldor, "Fine.."

Laith, "So yeah, that's it. This is like the final end chapter thing. There won't be anything else after this. Kinda sad, but we must keep going. So 'till next time, take care and mad love."

Haldor, "Keep representin'."

Laith, "Will you stop acting like that? You act like we're in a ghetto of something."

Haldor, "Um, have you not looked around?"

Laith, "It's not that bad."

Haldor, "We've been in better."

Laith, "Yeah, in Nevada. Here though, we've been in worse."

Haldor, "True. We're closer to Whittier now."

Laith, "Yeah, but now that kinda scares me."

Haldor, "Are you talking about that thing on YouTube."

Laith, "It scared me. Honestly, if I see something like that start to happen, we're going to Canada."

Haldor, "I'd rather go to France."

Laith, "Well whatever, we're leaving the country. Swear, made me want to start looking into dual citizenship already."

Haldor, "You're paranoid."

Laith, "I am, but sometimes that's not a bad thing all the time. Anyway though, for those who don't know what the hell we're talking about, on YouTube there's a new channel with a series called "2009 A True Story". If you haven't already checked it out, you should, it so kopacetic, no word can adequately describe it."

Haldor, "You just used a word."

Laith. "Shut up. Anyway, that's it here. I got to go already and pick up my contacts."

Haldor, "'Cause she doesn't want to wear her Mangekyo ones anymore."

Laith, "They're not meant to be worn everyday. And people won't stop staring at me."

Haldor, "That's why I told you to wear the Hinata ones."

Laith, "I had to reorder tham because they weren't prescription. Look, it doens't matter, I got not new ones today. So who cres?!... So yeah, again, take care, and I'll see ya guys around the site hopefully."

Haldor, "Later."
