Kyo's only 1: Tanks 4 reviewin! Also I'll have you know it's your review that made me decide to update so quick.
Duku: You'll see why I made Gaara "asleep" ;-) Teeeerust me. You're also not the only one who corrected that, but that's a good thing! At least I know my readers pay attention to me! Snivel, so happy.
Anonomys: Oh ya! I'm scary! Wait… was that a good thing?

"Okay!" Temari said enthusiastically, "let's ship off our sleeping brother! Wait a minute…" Kankuro and Temari looked over at the lump under Gaara's covers.
"But… Gaara doesn't sleep cuz if he does—" Kankuro began, but was interrupted by his sister.
"Shut up!" she said whispering again. She picked up a stick (A/N The phenomenon of a stick miraculously appearing in the middle of a room is like the case of Sasuke and one cheese bazooka…. The world may never know…) and crept over to Gaara's bed. She poked the lump softly. Then she poked the lump a little harder. Feeling frustrated Temari poked the lump as hard as she could.
"OMFG! TEMARI! YOU POKED A HOLE IN OUR ADORABLE DEMON BROTHER!"
"Shut up Kankuro!" she said in a normal voice, "this isn't Gaara." She whipped off the blankets to reveal a pile of sand with one biiiiiiiiig stank.
"Jeez," Kankuro said holding his nose, "Does he hafta use the SAME sand every time to kill people?"
Meanwhile…
Everyone was pretty much about to fall asleep when Nari shouted, "Hey! Where's the creepy guy with the bugs and the trench coat and the quiet girl who I don't know her name?" she waved her arms around for extra…er…Nari-ness…
Everyone turned to the corner where Shino was lying in field position and chanting, "P-p-p-p-peeeeeeenguin…. P-p-p-p-p-peeeeeeeeeeeeeenguin…. P-P-P-P-P-PENGUIN…"
"What's up with him?" Sakura asked sweatdropping. "Oh no," Kiba moaned, "It's happening again!"
"What's happening again?" everyone asked. Kiba cleared his throated and explained, "You see, Shino spends so much time with bugs, he isn't used to larger animals that he couldn't squish if he wanted to—"
"Hey!" Shino protested, but then fell back into field position and continued to chant.
"Anyways," his teammate continued, " Anything larger than his pinky finger freaks him out."
"Fish eat bugs! Birds eat bugs! PENGUINS ARE FISH-BIRDS!" The bug master yelled, another unusual occurrence.
"Ohhhh…. I get it now," said Sakura, "He's just afraid for his bugs' safety! That's it, isn't it?" Roger just sat there dumbly and wondered, I wonder who this guy is talking about…
"Actually," Shino said standing and clearing his throat, "It all started when I was a little boy…" It was silent… "I said!" he yelled, "IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY!" His outburst woke up the special affects guy who was sleeping on the job.
"CUE FLASHBACK!" Shino finally said right out. Wavy lines filled the room and an image of a mini-Shino and his parents going to the zoo.
"Where do you want to go first?" his mother asked. "The penguins!" Little Shino shouted joyfully. And so the three walked over to the penguin pool and he leaned over the side of the gate. However, he leaned too far and fell into the pen.
He tried to get up but slipped on the ice. But instead of crying, Shino sighed in fascination. Right before him was a real, live penguin. "Penguin buddy!" he exclaimed, getting the Antarctic bird's attention, "Come give me a hug!"
The penguin waddled over to the boy, but instead of hugging him, he squawked loudly and chased him around. He was never the same since…
"And so there you have it," Shino said as the wavy lines calmed once more, "That's why I've been sitting in field position and chanting 'penguin' for the last five hours."
No one responded, simply because no one could. Halfway through Shino's explanation everyone had fallen asleep… except for…
"YAY! I'M HAVING SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!" screamed a voice that woke everyone up. "Could ya keep it DOWN Nari?" Naruto asked rubbing his ears.
"But…" Nari said confusedly, "That wasn't me… for once…" Everyone looked over at where the voice had come from. It was—
Meanwhile….
"Gaara! Gaara! Where are you?" Temari called, getting more and more desperate.
"Well this is a record," Kankuro mused to himself, "we've lost Gaara twice in the same day. Maybe we're bad siblings…" (A/N hold on, if it's three a.m. isn't it the next day? Get your time right Kankuro!)
"No freakin' duh!" Temari yelled back at him, extremely miffed.
"Calm down Temari! Remember what they taught you at therapy for solving problems!" Her brother soothed, "Okay, visualize what you're going to do to solve your problem."
Her breathing slowed and she calmed down enough to say, "I'm going to look for Gaara…"
"Uh-huh," her brother replied, motioning for her to go on.
"And I'm gonna find Gaara."
"Uh-huh."
"And then before he can release his killer sand on me…"
"Uh-huh," Kankuro began to look worried.
"AND THEN I'M GONNA KILL HIM!"
Back at the not so party-ish party…
Everyone was paralyzed with shock, except for Roger, who was paralyzed with his own stupidity… Back to the point, the speaker was none other than Hyuga Hinata.
"COME ON!" she shouted again, "LET'S PAAAAAAAAARTAY!"
Silence…
"Oh dear… this isn't good…" Sakura said walking up to Hinata and taking a bottle out of her hand.
"What is it?" Naruto asked loud and enthusiastically. (as if they hadn't had enough of that by now between him and Nari)
"It appears that Hinata drank some of Kakashi-sensei's sake…"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Whoo! Go me! I got it the neeeext day! I got in the neeeeext day! Ahem… so what will happen now?
Patrick: Will Temari be able to get better therapy? What will happen now that Hinata had sake? Is Kakashi's precious hai safe? Tune in next time to find out!
Yeah, what he said!
