Howdy people! I just got over being sick again. That's why I haven't updated. I have a project due tomorrow as well. That's another reason for not updating. I finally got around to writing this chapter. The part in this chapter where Sakura is arguing with Ako about how long she has to wear the dress was inspired by an argument I had with my niece about how bites of pizza she had to eat. I hope you like it.
Sakura's thoughts
Disclaimer: Woe to me for I do not own the wonderful story of Naruto or any of the characters within the story. I do however own my little characters that I created. That makes me feel better.
A couple of weeks later Ako finally got over seeing her parents in their room. Lucky for her this was just in time for her birthday. Sakura walked into her daughter's room where Ako was sitting on her bed in a pink dress.
"Honey you need to come downstairs. Your friends will start arriving anytime." Sakura said.
"I'm not leaving this room like this." Ako glared at her mother.
"You look cute though."
"I don't look cute." She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yes you do." She looks like her father when she does that.
"No, I don't."
"Just come downstairs and wear it for five minutes."
"One."
"Four."
"One."
"Three."
"One."
"I'm not going lower than three Ako."
"I'm not going higher than one."
"Young lady I will not have you arguing with me."
"Sakura let me handle this." Sasuke said putting a hand on his wife's shoulder.
"Alright, but she is wearing it." Sakura said walking down the hall.
"I am NOT!" Ako yelled back to her. Sasuke closed the door when he walked in. He sat down on the bed next to his glaring daughter.
"Ako I know you don't want to wear it, but your mother really wants you to." Sasuke told her.
"I don't want to wear it."
"Why not?"
"I hate pink and it's frilly. Frilly! Ninja's don't wear frilly."
"I will agree with you on that. You still need to wear it. At least once."
"But Daddy…"
"No buts Ako. I will make you a deal."
"What kind of deal?"
"You only have to wear it when we get ready to eat your cake and open presents. Okay?"
"Okay." Ako smiled up at her father. He stood up and walked over to the door.
"You might want to get ready quickly we told Naruto and Hinata to bring Taro early to eat ramen."
"Alright!" Ako said running to her dresser as her father walked out of the room.
When Ako got downstairs Taro was waiting in the kitchen with his parents. The table had six bowls and sets of chopsticks set out.
"Happy Birthday Ako!" Taro greeted her.
"Thanks Taro." Ako replied and sat in the chair between him and her father. "Are you ready for that test tomorrow?"
"I think so. I've been practicing."
"Me too." Ako said as Sakura served everyone some ramen.
"Alright ramen!" Naruto, Taro, and Ako said at the same time.
