Disclaimer: I don't own the Naruto characters because Masashi Kishimoto has claimed them. I own Kiana, Sam owns Tetra, Alicia owns Kira, and Robin owns Kiki. And this plot has been done so many times(if there is a plot at all), so I don't think I own it.
Warnings: OCCness due to drunkenness. OC's, though I hope they're not MarySues and I tried to not make them MarySue-ish. Stupid drunken fun.
Notes: thanks to all who reviewed! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Special thanks to Sam for letting me use her computer and for giving the fic to me when she only had about five minutes of battery left on her computer. For the 'Spatula of Doom', to those who may use it in their stories, my apologies for taking the idea. I really don't read that many humor fics, so I wouldn't know who uses it and who doesn't. Forgive me. ALSO! Whoever can tell me what movie the name of the bar(the bar is named the Feisty Goat) is from gets a special treat- they get a character appearance in the story! Bwaha! Clue- not an old movie at all. From 2003 at least.

Chapter 3: Mr. Sandman Can Blush?
"Gaara!" Raimizu Kiana screeched, slapping at the Third Eye. That... THING, that weird eye thing scared her as much as Gaara scared her. It wasn't that she hated him or thought he was evil, she just was scared at how quick to kill Gaara was. "Gaara, you get this THING out of here before I come out there and verbally berate you and taunt you and stuff!"
From behind Kiana's door, Gaara and Tetra snickered evilly, and Gaara conceded and made the Third Eye dissipate. The two were waiting for Kiana to get out of her room so that they all could help move Gaara's not creepy furniture. Gaara was planning on burning all the sheets he had bought-and maybe even burning the mattress. He couldn't believe that he bought pink, lacy, frilly Barbie sheets with a matching comforter and pillowcases. "Get a move on Kiana, or I'll kill you."
The two heard an audible 'EEP!' and some commotion inside the room before Kiana quickly opened the door. "I'm out. Don't kill me."
"I'll leave you be," Gaara replied, trying not to laugh at Kiana's face, "for now."
"Come on, we have to go help get Gaara's things into storage while his entire apartment is being painted black!" Tetra exclaimed, beginning to jump from roof to roof. "AND, we still have to get Shikamaru and Temari to help!"
"Tetra, do you actually think that Shikamaru would do a goddamn thing to help?" asked Kiana with a chuckle. "He'd rather lay on the furniture we're moving than help out."
Tetra nodded in understanding, knowing just how lazy Nara Shikamaru could be. The now-jounin wasn't any help in his personal life, but he was smart as hell on missions, which was practically the only reason Tsunade would put up with Shikamaru's lazy self. "Fine, then we might as well leave Shikamaru to watching clouds or whatever he does all day. Come on, we have to get Temari, since the painters are coming at four and it's already two thirty."
"Well you shouldn't have come so late!" Kiana accused as the three stopped outside of Temari and Kankuro's house. "I would have been ready and stuff if you told me what time you two were coming over! What were you doing? Making out?"
"NO!!" Tetra screeched, lunging for Kiana's neck. The subject of Tetra and Gaara's relationship was sensitive. Tetra had a little crush on Gaara, and beat anyone who suggested that there was anything more than friendship between the red-haired nin and the brunette. "You little-"
"Kiana, you know you shouldn't comment on their relationship," a woman's voice said from Kiana's left. The two jerked their heads to look at the speaker, who was none other than Temari. "Tetra, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't murder someone on my doorstep."
"Yes ma'am," Tetra replied as she immediately retreated her hands from Kiana's pale throat. The Kaze-woman shuddered at the thought of what Temari could do with a spatula. It had happened before and could happen again. "Please don't use the spatula again."
"Let that be a lesson and warning for you to never do it again," Temari retorted, pointing a finger at her brother's friend. "Anyway, let me get my shoes and we can go. Shino and Kankuro are up to no good in Kankuro's room, and I would not like to stay around to see what happens."
Temari returned seconds later with her shoes on firmly, and the four quickly jumped from roof to roof until they reached Gaara's apartment. Stepping inside, Kiana made her way to Gaara's bedroom, where she proceeded to laugh her brains out on the hot pink rug Gaara had bought under the influence of sake. "Oh... my... HOLY SHIT, GAARA! This is hilarious!"
Gaara growled and a big sand hand came out of the gourd, aiming for Kiana, but Temari bumped her brother and held up a metal spatula in warning. "Don't think about it Gaara, or I'll use the Spatula of Doom on you..."
Finally, after every piece of movable furniture was transferred to outside the apartment and ever other piece was covered with tarp(including the carpet), the less-energetic four began to slowly move the furniture into a truck. Sadly, when Kiana carried out a wooden dining table chair, she hit her head on the pull-down door, tripped backwards, then got knocked unconscious by smacking her head against the blacktop of the parking lot. Tetra cracked up, Temari rolled her eyes and loaded the chair Kiana had tried to, and Gaara called an ambulance on his cell phone with the ring tone(set by Tetra) of Holly, Jolly Christmas, which Gaara didn't know how to change for he was technologically retarded.
"Hey, we're going to the Feisty Goat tonight," Temari announced. She had her camera bag with her, as did the now-conscious Kiana who was being looked at by a medic, for she wanted to catch anything humiliating like Kankuro and Shino singing, and Kiana's clumsy mistake of loading a chair into the truck. "I want to see who else will make a fool of themselves by singing karaoke."
"I'd bring my camera," Kiana sighed, "but Kurenai got really hyper after getting drunk at the bar and started playing with my camera, then she dropped it. My poor camera!"
"Gaara and I will meet up with you all at the Feisty Goat," Temari announced, pulling her younger brother by the sleeve away from the two other women. "I'll bring Kankuro and Hinata, too. Most likely Shino will be coming with Kankuro. I'll be seeing you!"
"Bye, Temari!" the two women waved and jumped away.
-----
"Oh, this will be great!" Temari exclaimed, pulling her camera out. Kiana, Gaara, and herself had gotten Tetra drunk and know she volunteered to do karaoke. Kiana was giggling, since she herself was tipsy, and Gaara was pouting that Tetra was on stage. "There is no way she will ever live this down."
Shino and Kankuro were flirting playfully on the other side of the booth, and Gaara was fighting not to gag. Kiana brightened when she heard the music Tetra had selected. "Oh, I love this song!"
Temari flipped the camera on, focusing in on Tetra who was dancing a little on the stage. The 'bungs' began, and Tetra down-up thing as a sort-of dance. "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream, make him the cutest that I've ever seen! Give him two lips, like roses and clover! Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over! Sandman, I'm so alone! Don't have nobody to call my own. Please turn on your magic beam! Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream!"
Gaara was trying hard not to smile as his drunken friend began dancing on stage to the 'bungs'. Kiana was swaying back and forth to the song, mumbling the lyrics incoherently and nursing her drink, which was an odd mix of vodka, rum, whiskey, and a few other types of alcohol. Gaara sat as far away from Kiana as he could.
"Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream! Make him the cutest that I've ever seen. Give him the word that I'm not a rover, then tell him that his lonesome nights are over," Tetra sang on tune in her drunken state, winking at Gaara from the stage. Gaara's mouth twitched; it was getting harder not to smile. "Sandman, I'm so alone. Don't have nobody to call my own. . . Please turn on your magic beam! Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream!"
The bungs began again, and Tetra began to do a little dance to them. "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream, make him the cutest that I've ever seen. Give him the word that I'm not a rover, then tell him that his lonesome nights are over. Sandman, I'm so alone! Don't have nobody to call my own. . . Please turn on your magic beam! Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream!"
The bungs began again and Kiana danced her way to the dance floor, where a few people were drunkenly dancing to the awesome song. Tetra too was dancing and smiling widely.
"Mr. Sandman," Tetra sang.
Gaara finally smiled and yelled out, "What the hell do you want, woman?"
"Bring us a dream! Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam," Tetra leered at Gaara, who had the decency to blush. Temari had gotten it all on tape, and was cackling evilly. "Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci, and lots of wavy hair like Liberace!"
Kiana had made her way back to the table for her drink and saw Gaara blushing furiously and gazing dreamily at the stage.
"Gaara, are you all right?" Kiana asked with a confused look on her face. Gaara NEVER blushed, and NEVER would even DARE to stare dreamily at someone or something. "You're not coming down with a fever, are you? I had no clue Mr. Sandman could blush!"
But Gaara wasn't listening. Tetra was still singing, and he had gulped down all of Temari's intoxicating drink and was just a bit tipsy. For all that was evil and dark, Gaara could NOT hold his liquor well.
"Mr. Sandman, someone to hold," Tetra sang happily, making dramatic sweeps with her arms, "Would be so peachy before we're too old, so please turn on your magic beam! Mr. Sandman, bring us, please, please, please! Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream!"
The bungs began again and Tetra did a little dance and ending up in a split, something that no one knew she could achieve. She walked off stage pleasantly and walked over to the table Temari and Gaara were at, and Kiana was standing by it looking really perplexed and a little scared. "Hullo!"
"TETRA YOU WERE WONDERFUL!" Kiana said loudly, hugging her friend. "I LOVE THAT SONG AND YOU MADE GAARA BLUSH AND THE CONCUSSION I GOT TODAY WAS WORTH COMING HERE, GETTING DRUNK, AND SEEING YOU SING ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME SONGS EVER!!"
"Um," Tetra replied, rubbing the back of her neck and lifting one eyebrow. "Thanks?"
"That was lovely, Tetra," Temari congratulated with a smile. "I got it all on tape, from Kiana dancing and bumping into lots of people to you leering at my brother, to Gaara blushing like crazy. Oh this will go down in history!"
"What the hell have I done?!" moaned Tetra, flopping into the booth next to Gaara. She began to bang her head on the table, and Gaara had to restrain her with some sand to keep her from banging her head. "I didn't mean to do that!"
"Oh, NOW you regain your common sense!" Kiana scoffed with an eye roll. "Tetra, you're stupid."
"Am not!" Tetra defended herself.
"Are too!"
"Am not, am not, am not!"
"Are too, are too, are too!" Kiana growled, sticking her tongue out immaturely.
"Both of you, stop it," Temari growled, scowling at the two. "You're giving me a headache."
The two abruptly shut their mouths with an audible clack.
A strange noise erupted from Gaara, and it startled Kiana, causing the black-haired girl to jump into a nearby person's arms. The nearby person happened to be a very sad Kakashi, for the person he held in his arms ruined his book. Kiana 'eeped' loudly as Kakashi glared death at her and began immaturely chasing the younger woman around.
Tetra turned Gaara around and received the shock of that day: Gaara was laughing! Well, more like chuckling, and he HAD been giggling the night he got drunk, but this was different. It was kind of creepy chuckling, more like hoarse cackling down to a minimum, but Tetra wanted to see Gaara laughing more often. In the background, Kiana was screaming and being chased by Kakashi with a kunai in his hands.
"Gaara!" Temari gasped, looking at her brother. "You- You're laughing!"
"Gomen nasai!" Gaara gasped, trying to hold back his chuckles. "It was just so funny!"
"Gaara, you will not be permitted to go outside the house after we go back. You are not buying paint or new rugs or anything!" Temari commanded, pointing a finger at her brother. Kiana ran by, her screams audible, Kakashi still chasing her. "I do NOT trust you when you're drunk."
"Fine," Gaara sighed, a small amused smile still planted firmly on his face. "I won't. I promise."
"Right then!" Temari smiled, clapping her hands together. She snagged Kiana's collar as she passed by again, and hefted her up, springing away. "I'll see you all later! I'd better make sure Kiana gets home safely, or Kiba will set Akamaru on me. It's happened before, you know."
Tetra looked at the two, headed towards Kiana's apartment building. "She really doesn't like Kiba."
"I don't blame her," a tipsy Gaara stated. "Kiba can get pret-ty(1) viscious when encouraged."
"Ah!" Tetra nodded, finally understanding something. "That's why when the first time we pushed Kira into him, he was ready to tear our heads off!"
"That's got to be it," agreed Gaara. "Anyway, I'll have to get going now. Nice show, Tetra."
"Thanks," Tetra blushed, starting to back away. "See you, Gaara."
And as the camera fades into the picture of a sliver moon, Kakashi weeps on a tree branch, mourning the loss of his precious book.

A/N: Wow. That took a lot longer than I thought it would. But I dealt with my thumbs hurting like hell, and then Sam's pet squirrel, Rocky, mauled my finger and I can barely bend it. It's swollen like a blimp, and scratched up a lot, too. Also, since I'm bored and have nothing to do, I am having a fic request thing, so check my profile for more info. Anyway, thanks to all of those who reviewed. It means a lot to me that people like this! I never got so many reviews before. Wow.
Kashisenshey: So would I. And pink rugs! HOT PINK rugs! I think if it were me, I would have passed out repeatedly.
ayame0: Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. Obviously, here's the next chapter.
TyrantFlame: Heh, thanks. Unfortunately, the Kankuro/Shino pairing will be continued, as will the Temari/Hinata. I'm weird. But I'm glad you liked the rest! Don't worry about Kankuro on Shino, since I feel your pain. I play Shino in an RP, and I thought it'd be funny to put them together.
BlackVine: Good! Glad you liked it! Well, Sam and I decided that this song would be perfect, since Kankuro has a brother and sister that you would know and stuff. Also, it was playing on her iTunes at the time, so. . . Yeah! I'll put you into the story if you know the movie from where the bar's name comes from.
gaara-girl: sugar is good. Anyway, here's the update, clearly. Hope you like it.
InvaderHera: Do not worry, I put you in! I didn't like my other story, so I deleted it. Also, for some reason, it was called 'Before My Hair' instead of 'Before My Eyes'. How strange. Thanks for reviewing.
Notes: Important! If you can guess what movie the bar's name is from, you get the ultimate prize of having your character make an appearance! Leave your guess in your review, and if it's right, I'll email you, and you should email me back with your character's appearance, and a song that you'd like them to sing if you want them to sing. Email me, anyone, if you have a fic request! I'll do straight pairings, no matter how much they scare me. Hope you like this chapter!
