Author's Note:
Paranoia Survivor is annoying me.
I practically play the song every time I boot up Stepmania, and every time, I fail during that stream section. I blame my pad. The Ignition foam pad just isn't as good as the metal ones. Oh how I wish I had a CobaltFlux. Maybe Santa will bring me a CobaltFlux for Christmas for being a good boy.

Extreme - "How do you play Healing Vision Angelic Mix without double stepping?" "You play it on light"
Dance Dance Revolution, originated in Japan, is a game that requires the player to "step to the arrows." As different shaded arrows make their way to the top of the screen, the player is required to step on the corresponding arrow on his or her dance pad. Combining physical exercise and rhythmic beats, DDR revolutionized the gaming industry like no other games. And it is because of this reason, Rock Lee picked up the game.
Lee likes training. Lee also likes fun. So what's better than training and fun added together? Nothing! With fiery eyes, our young taijutsu master booted up his DDRMAX2, readied his MadCatz dance pad, and prepared to dance the night away. Suddenly, the error screen popped up on his PS2. What? But I just bought this game today! Don't tell me it's not working! Thought Lee as his Playstation 2 refuses to cooperate with him. Man! And I was planning on working on my dance moves. Now Sakura-chan will never recognize me, because I can't dance! Then, with actions so fast that any other person would have suffered from whiplash, Lee turned around and picked up his mod disc. Man, I need to remember to put this in next time. I almost doubted my dancing abilities (even though his abilities never came under question). Some of you may ask, what is Lee doing with a mod disc? Isn't Lee always the one that did things by the book, never slacked, and never cheated? Well, let me ask you again, Mr.I-Know-All-About-Rock-Lee. Rock Lee is a 13-year-old kid, or otherwise loosely called a teenager. Now any normal teenager will already have his or her (but mostly his) computer up the wazoo with P2P clients, pirated music, pirated videos (like that Naruto episode that you are downloading from BitTorrent right now. Don't lie, I know you are!) and ripped games. Rock Lee is anything from abnormal (he doesn't have freaky eyes, gay techniques, or the Kyuubi sealed in his stomach, I would say that's quite normal), so it's only natural for Lee to have a mod disc. Now with his mod disc booted, pirated DDRMAX2 inserted, and MadCatz pad readied, Lee finally started to choose his songs.
It is precisely at this moment that Lee's doorbell rang. Rock Lee, ever the gentleman, dropped his own game at hand (or feet) and went to answer the door, hoping he could help someone that's in need. Imagine his surprise when he found Neji and Tenten standing in front of his door. They NEVER come and visit him! This calls for a celebration! However, Lee's joy was short-lived as Neji spoke up.
"Where is the new training exercise that you promised us?"
"Y34h DUMB4zz, I w42 s7ILL pWnIN' l)E0l)-e aT c0UN73Rs7riK3." (My worthy comrade, I was yet to finish with my hand-eye coordination exercise) said Tenten.
Oh yeah, that's right! He invited Neji and Tenten to come over so they could all enjoy the weight losing benefits of DDR together as a team.
"Come in, come in, I just finished setting up too! We'll all shake our rumps till morning comes!"
I don't know what Neji and Tenten's ideas about the "training" were, but they certainly weren't related to making a fool of themselves in front of a television set.
"No Lee. I am NOT about to shake any part of my body, my posterior included." Said Neji "If this is a practical joke you are trying to pull, I'll beat you to an inch of death. No one else should suffer from your poor sense of humor."
Tenten was less wordy, and three kunais already embedded themselves in the wall, half a millimeter from Lee's head. "jOO A55 1z M1N3, 81ZO7CH" (I have every intention of permanently disabling you) elaborated Tenten.
"Heh heh, guys, careful when you throw stuff, you might break that flower vase. That's my favorite vase." Said Lee, completely missing both death threats "Anyways, I told you guys to come here so we could train with this new game I imported from the Water country. Just so you know, we have to be at least a bit proficient at the game before we enter the tournament."
"What tournament?" inquired Neji, who was twitching not to activate his Byakugan and beat the crap out of Lee.
"You didn't hear about the tournament? EVERYONE has heard about the tournament!"
"What tournament?"
"It's like the biggest tournament in all of history! You must have heard about the tournament!"
"WHAT TOURNAMENT!"
"y34H, AzZfUX0R, Wh4 90Dd4Mn 70URn4M3n7?" (Oh one who fornicates anally, which tournament are you referring to?)
"Well, you could've just asked, why did you have to get all worked up?" said Lee, as he suddenly had the urge to bend over backwards, narrowly missing the shurikens thrown at him from both directions.
"Man guys, quit it, you are seriously going to break something." Again, Lee missed the main purpose of the thrown objects. "If you want to hear about the tournament, I will explain." Lee carefully extracted his green suit from the metal ninja tools. Wouldn't want to have his best piece of clothing full of holes now, would he? "Last year, there was this tournament that was held in the Hidden Village of the Mist. It was a tournament for DDR players. Entries were made up of 3-men teams, and they compete in different events for the grand prize of $1,000,000 (USD, not Yen), so practice up, we are going to win ourselves some spending cash."
"And you learned of this information how? Did the Hokage herself tell you?"
"No, I just know it."
"What do you mean you just know it? What if it was a one time only event? How are you sure that the tournament is going to be held again? And the rules? What about the rules? What if they are different?"
"Trust me. The tournament is going to be held, just like last year."
Off to the side, Tenten muttered something that sounded surprisingly like "Convenient Plot-holes."
"So let's just say that this tournament will be held, and the rules are the same, with the same entry requirement. What makes you think that I want to enter this tournament?" asked Neji.
"Aww come on! The grand prize is $1,000,000 (USD, not Yen)! I know you want that $1,000,000 (USD, not Yen). Everyone wants $1,000,000 (did I mention it's USD, not Yen?)! Imagine all the stuff you could buy! Green shirts, green pants, green socks, green oven mitts, green lawnmowers . . . " sighed Lee as his eyes surgically changed themselves to resemble the shape of a glowering star.
Now that Lee mentioned it, $1,000,000 does seem rather nice. Even though Neji Hyuuga grew up in the greatest clan in all of Konoha, being a member of the Branch Family did not ensure an equally great wallet. Hyuuga or not, not having cash to pay people to be punching bags for him does indeed hinder Neji's growth as a ninja. As for Tenten, those cable bills are piling up, and she needs a way to pay off all the debts she has accumulated. Her "job" simply doesn't pay enough for her to be both l33t and rich. I mean, winning carnivals games like ring toss and skeet ball these days simply doesn't pay anymore, and they rarely pay in cash. If she won this tournament, Tenten could finally stop using carnival tickets and teddy bears as currency to buy her food.
"I knew I could count on you guys! I've already registered us. Team Green Beast. And since we are from Konoha, and very beautiful to boot, we'll be known as the Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha! Hahaha, Gai-sensei will be so proud of me!"
Neji had to hold Tenten back as she was about to do some massive weapon summoning. "1M 90nNa R1p H12 8AlLz 0fz aNd mAkE h1m EA7 17!" (It will be very challenging for him to talk if his mouth was full)
"Come on guys, let's all get jiggy with it!"
Later on in the day, some Hyuuga family member would find a Branch Family prodigy in the Hyuuga library, desperately trying to learn the hand seals necessary to activate the seal on his forehead.
