I finally remembered the name of the person who sang "These Boots Are Made for Walking" (it really bugs me when I can't remember stuff). While the latest version of the song is sung by Jessica Simpson that isn't the version that's forever recorded in my memory. No, the singer I was thinking of was Nancy Sinatra who was the original performer way back in the sixties (I first heard the song sometime in 1986). A little music history for you.

Oh, one quick note before I get started. I don't own the commercial in this chapter it's copyright the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (although it's a radio commercial not a television one). It's not verbatim because I can only really remember the end of the commercial…

The Shinobi's Guide to Television
By Kaori

"Wow…I never heard one person swear so much." Whispered Chouji.

"You've obviously never been around the Hokage when she's pissed off." Quipped Shikamaru. "Then again, Naruto comes a pretty close second…"

"I think m…my ears are burning." Mumbled Hinata.

"Ooh… I gotta remember that one…" Naruto chuckled evilly.

"You're taking notes!" growled Sakura. She didn't get a reply as Miharu suddenly stopped ranting.

"Okay, I feel better now!" she smiled.

"But…the commercial…" sputtered Sakura. "We spent all that time doing it and we didn't even get the whole thing!"

"No worries, we'll just pick up from where the tape ran out and then splice it together in the editing room. Come on now, let's not waste any more time!"

So once again they did the boot commercial (without incident I may add) and this time they managed to get the whole thing.

"Are we done now." Grumbled Kiba.

"Nope, we still have one more commercial to film today." Miharu said.

"Argh! It took us almost all day to get through the first one!" screamed Naruto.

"We'll just have to make sure you and dog-brain don't screw up then, dobe." Smirked Sasuke.

"What did you say/call me you bastard!" raged Kiba and Naruto.

"P..please don't fight, Naruto-kun, Kiba-kun." Pleaded Hinata.

"Fine, but only because you asked Hinata." Huffed Kiba.

"You'll get yours Sasuke-teme, mark my words." Threatened Naruto.

"Ooh, I'm so scared." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Now that the immaturity quota for the day has been met, can we please get on with this? At this rate I'll miss the Icha Icha Restaurant movie television premier." Three guesses who said this and the first two don't count.

"Of course Hatake-san." Beamed Miharu not the least bit worried about working with a pervert. "All right I need…you, you, aaand you." She pointed to Kurenai, Asuma, and Kiba.

"Eh?" the three blinked.

One costume change, makeup job, and script reading later Kurenai and Asuma are sitting on the couch on the set, which is made up to look like a living room; they were facing the cameras and the television was turned towards them. Kiba was off the set awaiting his cue.

"Here we go everyone!" Miharu chirped. "Lights!"

"Konoha Electricity Corp. commercial, take one." Shikamaru said.

"Camera!" She glanced over at Shino who gave her a thumbs up. "Action!"

Kurenai and Asuma sit on the couch watching TV…and they sit for several minutes and absolutely nothing happens.

"Cut!" yelled Miharu. "The lights are supposed to go out on the set! Who's doing the lighting?"

"Kakashi-sensei's in charge of that." Blinked Sakura. Suddenly they heard a perverted giggle. Team 7, Kurenai, and Asuma sweatdropped knowing perfectly well what that sound meant. "Dammit Kakashi-sensei! Put away the stupid book or so help me I'll burn it!"

"Now that that's sorted out…" she looked at Shikamaru.

"Konoha Electricity Corp. commercial, take two." Shrugged the chuunin as he clapped the clapboard.

"Aaand…action!"

Once again Kurenai and Asuma sat on the couch pretending to watch TV. Ten seconds later, all the lights in the studio cut out except for those on the set.

"Whoops, wrong switch!" And even though no one could see, they could hear the smile in the perverted jounins voice.

"Just turn the lights back on." Groaned Kurenai. "Maybe Shikamaru should do the lights and you take over the clapboard."

"Whatever, I don't care." Shikamaru sighed once the lights were turned back on. Once he and Kakashi finished switching places, filming resumed.

"KEC commercial, take three." Said Kakashi.

"Action!" chirped Miharu.

Asuma and Kurenai resumed pretending to watch television. Ten seconds pass and almost all the lights on the set go off. Just enough are on so you can see Kurenai and Asuma.

"What the…honey did you remember to pay the light bill this week?" Asuma asked.

"Oops! I forgot!" Kurenai somehow managed to sound slightly ditsy.

"You forgot? Well now the food's going to spoil and we're going to have to use the money for junior's birthday present to buy more."

Twenty-seconds of silence and then the sound of a toilet flushing.

"Sorry! I had to go to the bathroom!" Kiba called from off set.

"Cut! Miharu said. "Anybody else need to go before we get started again?" Ino, Hinata, and Sakura rushed off. They didn't come back for half an hour.

"What took you three so long?" Sasuke demanded.

"Yeah, did you fall in or something?" (1) asked Naruto.

"Shut up Naruto! We got lost, that's all!" yelled Sakura, smacking him upside the head.

"All right, all right. Let's get back to work now." Soothed Miharu. "After all, you can't get paid if we don't finish." The three girls rushed back to their places. "Take it from Asuma-san's last line."

"KEC commercial, take four." Yawned Kakashi.

"Action!"

"Well now the food's going to spoil and we're going to have to use the money for junior's birthday present to buy more."

Kiba came walking onto the set wearing oversized, blue pajamas with yellow ducks printed on them.

"Daaaddyyyyy….." he whined, obviously pissed off at having to act like this. The other rookies (save Shino who settled for snickering, Sasuke who smirked, and Hinata who had picked the pajamas in the first place. She was pushing her index fingers together and blushing badly) immediately burst out laughing.

"Cut!" Miharu tried not to laugh and failed.

Naruto and Chouji were leaning against each other trying to catch themselves but would erupt into more laughter whenever they looked at Kiba. Shikamaru was on the ground clutching his stomach. Surprisingly enough, even Akamaru was laughing at him. Hinata hid herself behind the director's chair.

"DAMMIT! YOU GUYS STOP LAUGHING!" yelled Kiba. They didn't. "AKAMARU YOU TRAITOR!" Akamaru barked back at him. "I DO NOT LOOK 'CUTE'!" This caused Kurenai and Asuma to fall off the couch laughing.

An hour after everyone stopped laughing…

"Well now the food's going to spoil and we're going to have to use the money for junior's birthday present to buy more." Said Asuma.

Kiba walked onto the set once again. His keen hearing picked up several snickers but he stoically ignored them (vowing to get revenge later) and said his line.

"Daaaddyyy…the fan cut off and it's too hot! What happeeeeenned." He whined, doing a damn good job of sounding like an annoying little brat.

"Cut! Print! We've got it!" cheered Miharu and then she stopped. "We did get it all didn't we?" she rounded on Shino, glaring. He nodded. She smiled.

"And with plenty of time to watch Icha Icha Restaurant!" Kakashi added.

"You know… it's funny you should mention that…"

Eh? What's this? A cliffhanger! And is Kaori planning on turning this story into a hentai fic? Not bloody likely but she will be indulging a bit more from the crack bucket for the next chapter so stay tuned!
