"Hey guys!" Dawn picked up a mic called out to the audience. It at the same bar where they had had their stand-up challenge so there were no kids. Thankfully, because that evening's challenge was, again, on the more adult side of things. "So tonight we have a three part comedic challenge." When the cheers subsided, the bluenette girl added, "The first two actually form together and go by the name: Pickups and Rejections 101!"

The stage opened up more, showing that, one each side, both teams were sitting in chairs upholstered with the team colors (seeing as how, since they were out on the town, wearing uniforms was out of the question). "First off, the semes will take turns throwing out their best pickup lines to their ukes. Then, when their done, the ukes will try out their best rejection lines. The team that has the most successes wins!" After another cheer, the young coordinator signaled for Itachi to sit in the victim chair. "Alright, Kisame, whenever you're ready you can start." Just before Dawn sat down, the commentator signaled that she forgot something.

"Oh yeah." Dawn sighed, "Tonight's event has been brought to you by 'General Sephiroth's Book of Pick-up Lines'. 'Guaranteed to get you laid... or not.'" Itachi sat down in the specified chair waiting for Kisame to get over here and try his best at wooing him. He wasn't expecting for both Kisame and Russia to walk over and stand on either side of him. Kisame smiled and spoke,

"Hey there."

"Hi." Itachi raised an eyebrow.

"So I'm new to this restuarant but I can already tell that I have a recipe that'll blow all of this food away."

"And what would that be?" Kisame smirked before he sat closer to Itachi and said,

"Have you ever heard of a Japanese-Russian sandwich?"

"No..?" Itachi frowned. Russia sat closer to the brunette before he said,

"Would you like to?" As the audience whooped and called out, it took Itachi a moment before he blushed, held up a sign that said 'pass', and shoved both males away going back to his seat.

Passes 1.


"Are you a parking-ticket?" Kevin asked Ben with a smirk.

"You will become one with Mother Russia, da?" Ivan called over to Alfred. America simply continued to drink is drink as he said,

"I wasn't asking." Alfred gulped, holding up the pass sign so Ivan would let him go.

Passes 2. Fails 1


Korea walked up to China and sat down besides him before he began. "You know, Koreans are really good at math, da ze." Korea smiled at China, "Do you want to go back to my place and do some math with me?"

"Um..." China was seriously wondering where Yong Soo was going with this but then the younger nation continued,

"We'll take the two of us, add a bed, subtract your clothes, divide your legs..." At that, Yong Soo got real close to the ancient nation before finishing, "And multiply."

"Aiya!" Yao pushed the younger away, yelling, "Who have you been hanging out with, aru?" Yet, he held up a pass sign anyway.

Passes 3. Fails 1


Ike was walking to the chair where Pit was sitting when he 'noticed' something on the floor. He knelt down and discretely dropped a packet of sugar that said 'Sweet-stuff' before he 'picked' it up. He then walked over to the angel and held the packet out, smiling, "Hey, you dropped your name-tag!" The whole audience laughed. But Pit pouted before he held up the fail sign.

Passes 3. Fail 2.


When Naruto sat down in the chair, he was already prepared for Sasuke to say something perverted. But even he was surprised when the youngest Uchiha walked over, his cool air about him and flipping a coin up and down in the air. When Sasuke got to Naruto, he looked the blonde over before he smiled, "Hey, if I flip this coin, what are my chances of getting head?"

"You bastard!" Naruto yelled, smacking the pass sign in the other's face.

Passes 4. Fail 2.


"I have a kitten in my pants." Turkey smirked, leaning towards Greece, "Ya want to pet it?" Greece's eyes widened in horror before he knelt down and grabbed at the masked nation's pants, screaming,

"Sadiq, you bastard! The poor thing's probably going to suffocate!" The brunette was literally trying to rip Sadiq's pants off, to rescue the non-existent kitten. "Don't worry!" He called to Turkey's crotch, "I'm going to save you!"

"My God, ya really are one of Rome's kids, aren't ya?" Turkey was trying his best not to burst into laughter. When everyone else joined in, Heracles frowned before he held up the fail sign. "Oh, come on! That was a great line and you know it!"

Kabuto was sitting down, enjoying the 9-1-1 Martini that he had ordered when Orochimaru walked by, seeming to analyze his sleeves. He looked up and said, "Excuse me, could you help me?"

"Of course, what's the problem?" Kabuto replied. Orochimaru handed Kabuto the fabric of one of his sleeves and when Kabuto's face was getting a closer look, he asked,

"Does this smell like chloroform to you?" Kabuto huffed,

"Orochimaru, please, fool me once, shame on you, fool me 562 times, shame on me.", he then walked off, flashing the pass sign (albeit a bit hesitantly).

Passes 5. Fails 3.

Gaara was looking a bit unapproachable on the center chair. But Neji knew just what to say as he walked over. He got on one knee and looked deep into the sea-foam eyes of his lover before he asked, "Are you an interior decorator?" When Gaara raised an eyebrow, Neji added, "When I saw you the room instantly became beautiful."

Gaara blushed and turned his head away, holding up a pass sign.

"This is so stupid..." England sighed as he grabbed a chair and sat it next to where France was sitting. "So, how about you order something, my treat?"

"Such a charmer." Francis smiled. Arthur then spoke,

"So do you want coffee? Tea?" He smirked, "Me?"

"Oui!" France cheered, grabbing England's arm and waving the pass sign.

"Ah, my adorable Lovino!" Spain began, strumming a guitar ad strolling around S. Italy. "He has to be lost, because Heaven is a long way away from here."

"You over-sentimental bastard! Sit down!" Lovino hissed but Antonio went on,

"A song from his lips is an aria from heaven. His hair is like chocolate and he's cute like a tomato~!"

"Stop, stop, stop! You're embarrassing me!" S. Italy yelled, tossing the pass sign away and proceeding to stop the serenade at any means possible. Which meant taking the guitar and smashing it into the ground.

Passes 8. Fails 3.


Damien walked over to Pip and sighed before he said, "Roses are red, violets are blue, how would you like it if I came home with you?" Pip blushed and giggled a bit but Damien turned to his team and growled, "See? I told you guys that that line was stupid!"

It seemed as though Zane was about to be his usual cold, 'I wouldn't even move an inch if this whole building caught on fire right this second'-self. He stood next to Chazz and exhaled a bit before, out of nowhere he screamed, "Giant polar bear!"

"What the hell?" Chazz yelped. But then Zane interrupted,

"Meh, that was just an icebreaker. Hi, my name is..."

"I bet you $20 I can get a kiss from you by the end of the night." Kakuzu stated. Hidan smirked,

"Bet's on."

"Look, it's Jashin!" When Hidan turned to look, Kakuzu placed his head right by the albino's. Hidan was about turn around, cursing up a storm. When he turned back, his lips met Kakuzu's cheek. "You lost. Pay up." Hidan smirked,

"You fail. Fuck off."

"Um..." Lithuania shyly walked over to Poland before he began, "I know that I don't have a chance and you're way out of my league and you're so pretty that just my being here is dimming your beauty. But I just wanted to hear an angel talk so... Will you go out with me?"

"Aw... Liet..." Feliks gushed, "Like, that's how you asked me out on our first date~!"

Passes 15. Fails 7.


The next turn found Christophe staring at Gregory, smoking a cigarette and really deep in thought as he looked into Gregory's blue eyes. "Um, what are you thinking?" Christophe took the cancer-stick out of his mouth, tapped a few of the ashes away, before he said,

"I was just wondering that, when I marry you, weel zat faggot God be mad zat I stole one of his angels."

"Hm..." Stan hummed to himself as he circled Kyle. He kept this up until the red-head gritted out,

"Dude, what the hell are you looking at?"

"You know," Stan began, "From the looks of it, I'd say you're a 9.9999." He chuckled and leaned in, smirking, "You'd be a perfect 10 if you were with me."

SMACK!

"You fail dude." Kyle sighed as he smacked Stan in the face with the fail sign.

After ordering a drink, Link sat down next to Sheik and, in his most serious tone, stated, "Hello."

"Hello yourself." The Sheikaiah replied. Link simply grinned, taking a sip of his drink and continued,

"You are a beautiful person, you have probably heard all the great pick up lines, so why don't you just tell me the ones that worked so we can get past all that..?" Sheik blinked a few times before he said,

"You had me at hello."

"Excuse me!" Roy called over to Marth as he walked on over. "Hey, so it's a nice night tonight, isn't it?"

"Yes, I suppose" The bluenette prince replied. Roy downed his own drink before he spoke,

"Look, I'll be frank. I'd like to have kids someday, and I wanted to know how your parents created such a beautiful creature." Marth was quiet for a moment. Then his lips slowly twitched into a small smile before he urst into peals of laughter. He was laughing so much that he got out of his chair to get something to drink, to prevent hiccups. Roy frowned before he jumped up, yelling, "Fine! I get it! It's because I'm half-dragon, isn't it?"

Passes 18. Fails 9.


"Look!" Shadow growled as he spoke to Sonic, "I tried to find the perfect line to make you mine, but after hours of searching, all I could come up with..." The audience cheered as Shadow got to one knee and took Sonic's hand. "Was this look in my eyes and your hand in mine, and the words, will you be mine?" Sonic blushed horribly, not used to Shadow being anything but a cold jerk. At the risk of blurting out something idiotic, he turned and sped out the room.

Shadow smirked, "Okay, mark it."

Craig sighed when he was forced to go up. He thought for a moment before he called over, "Hey you! What's your first name?"

"Ack! C-Craig~! You know my name is Tweek!" The spastic blonde twitched and yelled. Craig hummed for a moment before he sighed, "Hmm, that goes kinda well with my last name, I guess."

"Craig, you jerk!" Kyle called out.

Through this whole time of trial and major error, Germany had been reading the pickup-line book. Kisame frowned and yelled, "Come on, Ludwig, you've been reading that book all night!"

"Okay! I've got it!" Germany announced, shutting the book and walking over to his little Italian. He tapped N. Italy on the shoulder and began, "Excuse me."

"Ve?"

"When I saw you from across the room, I passed out cold and hit my head on the floor..." Feliciano yelped,

"Ve? I'm so sorry! Doitsu, I-!"

"So I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons." Ludwig concluded. The audience clapped at the execution of the line, but Feliciano tilted his head,

"I don't get it. But... Okay!" He ended with a smile as he waved up the pass sign.


The final result was 20 passes and 11 fails for the semes. The event-coordinators looked over the results before they called out, "Can Team Uke get 23 of their teammates for the rejection challenge?"


A/N:

Christophe's statement refers to his views on God. It was made apparent (from what I've heard, I still haven't watched it) in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.

The challenge isn't over yet. If the ukes can beat the semes' score in the next round, they'll win! Read on, will you. Please?
