Disclaimer: I do not have Naruto or the Twinkle, Twinkle song, the Sims, or Old Maid in my arsenal of 'own'!

Note that this is before Itachi decided to turn evil, so now let's pretend he's a nice little kid, for now.


"So! Which one guys?!" Ino asked in a chirpy way.

"Uh, Ino, We're not old enough to play Seven Minutes in Heaven, or Spin the bottles. The odds of boys and girls could end up with er, Kiba kissing Shikamaru and such. And I don't think the other games are appropriate either…" Shino said with much, hmm, shall we say, embarrassment? I mean, you don't hear some of those words coming out of his mouth everyday…

"Aww, come on Shino, pwetty please, at least truth or dare!" Ino cooed. Shino flinched.

No Hikari, I don't like her, she's making me vexed. And no, you are not part of this… wild… thing. So you can forget about being introduced. What?! They'll think I'm a maniac with no brains in tact!!! I don't care about Kiba and Akamaru! And no, he does not carry around pineapples!!!!

"Er… Fine…" He muttered darkly as Ino cheered. "Just nothing inappropriate."

"Sure thing Shino!" Hehehe… but if he doesn't listen to what I do, I could always force him Hahaha…

"So, er, who goes first?" Chouji asked.

"I will!" All the girls save Hinata yelled.

"How about me?" Shikamaru lazily asked, startling everyone.

"Okay. I guess…" Sakura shrugged as they all sat in a circle on the ground. Shino was left of Neji, who was left of Sasuke, who was left of Kiba, who was left or TenTen, who was left of Hinata, who was left of Chouji, who was left of Sakura, who was left or Lee, who was left of Sakura, who was left of Shikamaru.

"Okay, I dare everyone to go to sleep." He dared them all.

"That's not how it works!" TenTen protested. "I'll begin."

"KIDS!!! TIME FOR DESSERT!!!!!!" Shino's mom and the others hollered.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!! No Hikari, it was just because she saved me from playing that stupid game. No Hikari, you get hyper when you eat chocolate. Yes Hikari, you may go to sleep now. No Hikari, you cannot have a sleeping pill to do it! Man, how many times do I have to say 'no Hikari' every single day?

"You know, eventually, if you guys all pass, we'll be your instructors one day!" Asuma told the Genins-to-be while they started in on the (do not read if you're hungry) delicious strawberry ice cream pie that was smothered with a delectable and rich shocking pink syrup, and a cherry on top. Of course, they were all topped with cherries, each and every piece, seeing the moms were so prissy about having everything just right. A mint herb gave it a look of expense while it laid by the piece of light and softly made body, an evenly layer of rich homemade vanilla ice-cream gently packed in the middle. Sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip cookies, raspberry, white chip cookies, all the cookies you could ever imagine sat in various plates along the huge gigantic table. More cakes were scattered along. Rich chocolate cakes filled the room with its sweet aroma, topped off with a glob of sugary glaze that slowly trickled down the sides like a waterfall in slow motion. Chocolate torte was not something to forget. It's velvety center and its delicious whole just cry out to you to taste them. A chocolate shell surrounded it's soft tender inside with almond flakes carefully scattered on for a divine look. White cakes also littered the table. One stood out in particular, lined with juicy oranges and a pond of apricot syrup, a lone kiwi carefully sculpted in a shape of a blooming lotus rested in the center, balls of mango around the edges. A grand strawberry cheesecake was also available, it's smooth and creamy look and a very tricky pattern of frosting was printed on top, half a strawberry facing up on each perfectly perfect and heavenly piece. A bowl of brownies also joined the group. There crafty texture was hard to match, a combination that just screamed delicious. Powdered sugar scattered over their wonderfully smooth top while big chunks of peanuts hidden in their chocolate lair. Mousse, oh, don't forget them. Chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, and every flavor you could ever want, whipped with perfection and swirled like a edible flavored cyclone. Parfaits were set at everyone's side, some of them a luscious swivel of strawberry and mint while others were stripes of orange and chocolate, a puff of whipped cream that floated on top. I could go on and on, but flipping through this cookbook is making my fingers sore. What? You think I like this stuff!? (I do, but I'll take seven bites only please)

"…Whoa…" All the kids gasped. They were speechless. The mom's, Kurenai, and Anko frowned.

"What?! You kids don't like it?" They wailed.

"Like it?! We LOVE it!" Most of them yelled. Hinata was a bit shy to say anything, and Shino, was, well, being Shino-ish.

Let's skip this part while the Akimichis dominate the table…

"Okay, NOW we can play Truth or Dare!" Ino sheered.

"Yahoo!" The three girls, TenTen, Ino, and Sakura cheered. Hinata was just, there…

"KIDS!!! BEDTIME!!!" Shino's mom yelled up again.

"NO!!!!" Ino and the others wailed, but nonetheless, they turned in… Okay, this is going to be weird…

So er, they went to their rooms with their roomies, and er, went to sleep. Okay…

Now, two o' clock in the morning…

"Hehehehehe… Now I, the great Rock Lee, shall plant water balloons over everyone's doors so when they open them in the morning, they shall get wet!" Lee snickered evilly, or tried at least. "Oh man, being like Neji's taking the toll on me, but I mustn't give up! For I, the great Rock Lee, shall get that nickel!!!" (Yen, whatever) "Now where's the bathroom…"

"Down the hall and turn a left." Shino said from behind him.

"Thanks Shino!" Lee automatically answered. Then he realized something. "AHHHH!!!! SHINO!!!" Lee yelled, clearly startled. "Hey! Aren't you supposed to be with Sakura?"

"Yeah, but the beds were like two inches apart and she kept rolling over to me side…" He shivered a bit before continuing on. "So I swapped with TenTen twenty minutes ago before she… thought I was Sasuke…" He finished.

"Oh…" Lee said. "OH!" Lee gasped. "OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lee was now running around in a circle. "OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!!" Lee yelled some more. "OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" By now everyone was awaken by Lee's cries.

"Lee! Be quiet!" Shino hissed as he clapped a hand to Lee's mouth, which was still moving.

"OH! OH OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!" Lee cried some more because Shino couldn't keep his grip on him.

"Lee! Please!!!" Shino continued begging.

"OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!"

"LEE!!!!! BE QUIET!!!!!" TenTen screeched as she awoken as smashed a pillow onto Lee.

"Now that we're all up! Let's play truth or dare!" Sakura said happily. They all, one way or another, found their way to that room.

Shino sighed. "Fine… But no kissing stuff…" He told them. Ino and Sakura huffed, but Sasuke was genuinely thankful. "And I'll go first, Kiba."

"Dare me! I'm not afraid!" He boasted.

"Then I dare you to sing that Twinkle, Twinkle song you always sing when you're in the bathroom at the academy." Shino dared him.

Hey, don't blame me for eavesdropping! You're the one who wanted to find Kiba and make him cough up a pineapple! Wait, what did I say?! Twinkle, twinkle?! But a car crushed me on that one! I should've made him sing Jingle Bells, no! I died in that one also!

Kiba gasped, but sung the dreaded twinkle song… "Twinkle, twinkle little star! Shino got ran over by a car! Sasuke suddenly became ugly! Ino has a bear named Mr. Cuddly Wugly! Twinkle, twinkle, little star! Kiba became famous and Shikamaru owns a bar! Neji likes pink and TenTen likes chicken wings! Naruto and Lee went shopping for wedding rings! Twinkle, twinkle little star, Sakura's having a bad hair day and Chouji lost a candy bar! Hinata has a game show! And we all like to lawn MOOOO-OOOOOOO-OOOWWW!!!!!!" Kiba finished very off of key.

"Kiba! What are you doing?!" Kiba's sister yelled from another room. "Go back to sleep so Itachi and I can finish our project!!!!"

"YES SISTER DEEEEE-AAAAAAAR!!!!" Kiba sung even more out of key.

"Inuzuka, Kiba!" The voice got nearer and soon the door opened to reveal Kiba's sister, who was still fully dressed. The parent's voice could just faintly be heard downstairs. Itachi was with her. "Go to sleep now!" She shrieked at him.

"But sis! We were just in the middle of something!" Kiba whined. "And you could just force Itachi to do it for you instead!"

"Kiba, I'm fully capable of taking care of myself! And besides, I don't want Itachi to hog all the fun!" She snapped at him. (I'm taking a wild guess at her personality.)

"F-Fun?" Hinata stuttered.

"Oh, you must be that girl Kiba likes." She told her. "And anyways, go back to sleep!"

"What project?" Ino protested.

"Our project to get rich." Itachi answered.

"Huh?" They all asked.

"We stumbled across the game room, and after I clobbered Itachi at all of Shino's video games, card games, and board games, we're now working on the PC games." She told them.

"I remembered that I beat you at Old Maid." Itachi pointed out to her.

"Whatever."

"You guys are playing the Sims, right?" Shino questioned.

"Yeah. Well, we played your game, sorry." The two answered.

"Wicked house you built." Kiba's sister commented.

"And I like how you put all your friends under the same roof." Itachi added. "Except that girl named TenTen always kisses this guy name Neji like every five seconds. And uh, you dies of starvation because they didn't have enough money and um, sorry, Sasuke, but you burned to death along with Chouji in a fire."

"Whoa, what are you guys talking about?!" Shikamaru asked.

"Uncle Bob gave it to me, it's a game called the Sims where you make your own character and they do whatever you like. And what do you mean I died in there?!" Shino told them.

So they all poured out, some in their pajamas, and some not as they headed to Shino's game room where the P.C. was on and…


Sorry about that twinkle, twinkle song, I know, it's stupid. I also wrote a Jingle Bells song (which tune I don't own) about them also… It's in my other story, Survivor, chapter 14, that big paragraph that's all caps. (it's really funny)
