Acquaintances

Kiba snored as he slept, sprawled on his and Hinata's beds. Hinata was certain that he had a contest going on in his head called the Who-Can-Take-Up-The-Most-Space-And-Shake-The-House-With-Sound-While-Asleep Contest. It seemed every night he got the grand prize. Well, good men have their downsides.

In Lee and Sakura's room, neither of them could get any sleep, since the babies would start crying in the middle of the night every now and then.

"We are never… having… children!" Sakura yelled at Lee.

"But… But… They are just enjoying their youth!" Lee cried.

"THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ENJOYING!" Sakura yelled.

Hinata sighed. At least she would be up every time the babies start to cry. Kiba just slept through it, like an angel. A slob, disgusting, drooling angel, but an angel nonetheless.

After a few nights of this, Sakura was getting sick of Kiba's constant snoring. It was just too loud for her ears, and the babies crying in the middle of the night wasn't helping. She was sure that Kiba would've found an apartment by now, so she decided to confront him about "Getting his lazy ass out the door."

"Kiba, can I talk to you for a moment?" Sakura asked.

"Sure," Said Kiba, "I've been meaning to talk to you, too."

"Alright then, you go first." Sakura said.

"Well, Hinata and I… we just can't stand it here!" Kiba said sincerely and innocently.

"Oh, really?" Sakura said, "Why?"

"Well… It's Lee… his… his eyebrows are just… too bushy… and he reminds me of Kermit the frog… If we stay in this house any longer, I'll go insane." Kiba said, "So we found a really nice apartment."

"Really? Where is it?" Sakura asked.

"You know that show, Acquaintances?" Kiba asked, mentioning the popular TV show about six casual acquaintances who happen to live near each other and bump into each other from time to time, "It's the apartment that Charlie and Monana lived in, pretty much."

"Oh," Sakura said, "Y'know, that Riley was quite a bitch on that show…" (Sorry, Rachel fans. Meaning me. And the rest of the viewers of "Friends".)

"Alright, so we'll be moving out soon." Kiba said.

"Alright, well, I hope you enjoy yourselves there."

Kiba and Hinata had finally unpacked all of their things in their new apartment, and damn it looked good.

"Wow, this place looks damn good." Kiba said, rearranging the words in the last part of the last sentence.

Koroku, Takashi and Akida were all in their respective cribs having their nap, and Hinata sat down on their couch. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Kiba went over and opened the door.

"Hi! I'm Tribiani Joey." The man at the door said, "You probably don't recognize me, since the show I'm on, Friends, isn't that popular yet."

"Oh yeah… that new parody of Acquaintances." Kiba said, "Okay… so… why are you here?"

"Well, I just live across the hall from guys, and felt like saying, Welcome!" Joey said, holding up a poorly drawn sign that said "Welcome New Familie" written on it messily.

"Neat. Did your son do that?" Kiba asked.

"I'm not even married." Joey said.

"Oh." Kiba said. He should have to say his kids do the stuff he does… his handwriting's pretty bad too. "Anyway, come on in."

"Thanks." Joey said, walking in, "I had a fruit basket earlier, but I ate it."

"Yeah… I do that sometimes too." Kiba said.

"Oh. Who's this, Kiba?" Hinata asked.

"Oh, this is Joey, he lives just across the hall from us. Joey, this is my wife, Hinata, and our three children, Koroku, Takashi and Akida." Kiba said.

Joey looked Hinata up and down. "How you doin'?" he asked.

Hinata shrugged. "I'm alright," she said.

"Kiba, can I talk to you a moment?" Joey said, dragging Kiba out the door and slamming it.

"What is with your wife?" Joey asked.

"Um… What do you mean?" Kiba asked.

"Well, when I turned on the charm I got nothing!"

"Well… she is married… and not a whore…" Kiba said, "Plus, I've used that pickup line on her before… I had a handprint on my face for weeks."

"That sounds painful." Joey said, "Hey, want to go down to the deli and get some sandwiches?"

"Meat sandwiches?" Kiba asked.

"Are there any other kind?" Joey asked.

"Let's get going!" Kiba said.

Thus began the friendship of Inuzuka Kiba and Tribiani Joey.

-

Maha! Kiba made a new friend. And got a new apartment. Perhaps he'll replace Chandler! Hahaha… But seriously… R&R… or… I'll… end your life… with a gun… perhaps…

Kiba: Huzzah! I made Friends.

Just one… Just one… And you're just as smart as each other.
