Hooray! Chapter 16 underway! Okay, people, I'm thinking of wrapping this up soon. (dodges large objects thrown by rabid fans) I'M SORRY! I WILL MAKE A SEQUEL, WITH THE SETTING IN WINTER, BUT THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE FOR THEM TO DO IN THIS ONE! AURGH!
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Dammit, I've been watching this accursed Demented Cartoon Movie for two hours straight.
Don't get me wrong, it would be funny... to someone who doesn't always try to think things out the logical way, like me.
"Aaaaah!"
"Muahahahaha! How are you doing, my dear?"
"Aaaaah!"
"Screaming will get you nowhere!"
"Actually I'm screaming because my head's about to pop off."
". . . What?"
POP
"Dang it... bring out the Auto-Damsel-Maker."
"Urgh! Why the hell are you making me watch this over and ov- Oh, look. An ant. Wait a minute... that's not an ant. SHOOP. Zeeky boogy doog. Blam! -AAAAAAH!" I screamed.
"That's why." said Agent A.
"Screw thi- This is your onboard computer system. We are about to crash. What do you want to do? -OH, MY GOD! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!"
Agent C grinned evilly, rubbing his hands - paws? - together. "You are replaying little parts of the Demented Cartoon Movie in your head at this very second!
Oh, god. I want it all to end. I really do. I mean it. I can't take another SECOND of this! JUST MAKE IT STOP!
And Shikamaru woke up on the couch.
"Oi, Shikamaru! Don't you want any of Sakura-chan's spaghetti? It's really good!" Naruto yelled from the kitchen. "It's going fast!"
Shikamaru blinked. "You mean I'm not watching the Demented Cartoon Movie?"
Sakura stepped into the living room, giggling. "Of course not! Just come on in here and eat."
Shikamaru stood up off the couch, and rubbed his eyes. The hamsters, the Demented Cartoon Movie, and the eggs... none of them were real. It had all just been a dream. He walked into the kitchen, where everyone was eating.
"Ne, Nara, come on and eat." Sasuke told him, scooping up some more pasta. "It's good stuff."
Shikamaru just sat down and waited to be served. But it all seemed so real...
"Here you go!" said Sakura cheerfully, dumping some noodles on his plate and covering it with tomato sauce. "Eat up!"
Shikamaru was more than happy to oblige.
When everyone was finished, they all sat down in the living room. Shikamaru pulled out a book, Neji turned on the TV, and everyone else surrounded Gaara and Hinata in the middle of another NintenDogs war. Shika looked around and grinned. Everyting was as it should be.
"Come on, Hinata! Show this loser that you can beat him any day!" Naruto cheered, doing a little victory dance around the mob f campers. Shikamaru just grinned and went back to reading.
Then the TV screwed up. We interrupt this program to give you a special announcement. The Potter Puppet Pals have won for the best puppet show in the country of Japan. Let's give them a round of applause! And then we'll watch a clip from the episode: Trouble at Hogwarts!
The Potter Puppet Pals Present...
Trouble at Hogwarts!
Everyone, including Gaara, stopped what they were doing to look at the TV.
Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermione apeared on the screen. "Wow. Howarts is great! This is the best place in the world."
"Yes!" exclaimed Ron. "Hogwarts is so much fun!"
Hermione popped up. "I love to learn!"
"I love magic!" Harry chimed in.
"I love you, Harry!" cried Ron.
Harry stood there for a second. "Um."
Then Dumbledore showed up. "I've got bad news, kids."
"Oh, no! What is is?" said the three little kids in unison.
"The Dark Lord Voldemort is attacking Hogwarts."
"Gasp! What will we do?"
"Uh, I dunno." Dumbledore walked away. Then dark music played in the background, and a poorly made Voldemort puppet walked onto the scene. "MUAHAHAHAHA! Now, Hogwarts is mine!"
A green Snape puppet came out of nowhere. "I am Snape, the Potions master. I must stop him." he pulled out a wand. "Avada Kedavra!" But the wand short-circuted!
"What the hell is this?" muttered Sasuke.
"Hahahahaha... Avada Kedavra!" and Snape fell over, dead.
"Here he comes!" cried Hermione. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" yelled Ron, running away. Voldemort walked over to Harry and Hermione. "It's time to die, for you!"
"You can't do this!" said Harry.
"Oh, yes I can! Avada Ke-"
"Wait!" said Harry and Hermione.
"What is it?"
Harry and Hermione walked away.
"Hey! Darn." Then Ron came screaming back onto the screen. He stopped for a second, then whacked Voldemort while saying, "Bother.", and then ran back to Harry and Hermione.
"What are we going to do?" cried Hermione. Harry stared at her. "There's nothing we can do! We're finished!"
"Wait a minute!" yelled Ron. "I've got a plan!"
"There is something seriously wrong with this." murmured Ino.
Naruto snickered. "Well, I think it's funny, ne, Hinata-chan?"
"Um... Y-Yes, Naruto-kun." B-but it's n-not, really...
Tat's all we have for you today. If you'd like to see more, go to p o t t e r p u p p e t p a l s . c o m and select "Trouble at Hogwarts." Bye!
"Neji, turn it off, before we all go insane!" yelled Tenten.
"No," said Neji. "I want to see this!" Then he turned into the Zeeky H Bomb, and everyone else turned into Blah Guys.
Shikamaru screamed, then woke up sweating.
"Shika, are you alright?" asked Ino, coming over to untie him. "Come on, and... what are you doing with egg in your hair?"
"Uh, I'm fine, Ino. Hey, did you see any hamsters around?"
"No. Why? I just finished my spaghetti. No hamsters around." She patted him o the back reassuringly. "You must've had a pretty bad dream, eh?"
"Uh, yeah..." Shikamaru started, then stopped.
He'd just seen a hamster disappear behind the sofa.
TBC...
I'm evil leaving you hanging like that, right? Yeah, I am. But testing is evil, and I couldn't really update for a while. So sorry! Okay... also, if you didn't understand, what happened was that Shikamaru fell asleep. He had a dream about everything being a dream, and he couldn't really tell the difference until he woke up from that dream, when he saw the hamster, then he realized that the experience he'd had before he fell asleep was real, and the other dream was fake. Still confusing? I thought so.
Sorry, again!
