Ryter bent over a large stack of papers and crying as she breaks her pencil in half.

Ryter: Why God? WHY HAS THOU FORESAKEN ME YOUR CHILD DEAR FATHER WHY?!

Harpie eating and rolling her eyes at the over acting.

Harpie: Oh relax. It's just homework. Not even like it's two of your subjects. Stop being all dramatic.

Ryter glares at her before spitting at her feet.

Ryter: It's not JUST anything! I have to work on my work placement for this semester and then get my schedule changed. Then there's freaking college applications and early admissions SAT practice ACT sign up. My ring has YET to get here. THREE STORIES BEHIND SCHEDULE! And...

Naruto, Lee, and Kiba bust through the door hard.

Naruto: Ryter...

Lee: Ryter...

Kiba: Ryter...

Naru/Lee/Kiba: Haaaarpieee.

Ryter hits her forehead and growls in annoyance.

Ryter: And now we do not need to fear.

For the IDIOTS are here.

Her eyes widen and Harpie falls on her but laughing at her. Harpie wipes a tear away from his eyes.

Harpie: Why are you singing? Wait...

WHY AM I SINGING!

Ryter grabbed hold of Naruto shaking him viciously.

Ryter: Tell me quickly what's the trick.

Before I cut of your stinking...

Naruto's eyes widened and he tried to scrable away from her screaming.

Naruto: IT'S NOT A TRICK AS YOU CAN SEE!

THIS THING HAS EVEN GOTTEN ME!

Harpie looks at Ryter concerned, and then looks at the worried faces of the others in the room.

Harpie:Ryter What are we to do?

Exactly what is this to you?

Are we under someone's spell?

Are just in music...

Ryter quickly covers her mouth and points to Kiba and Naruto.

Ryter: Gather everyone you know.

Get the crew the cast just go!

She points to Lee and Harpie for help. They look at her and salute.

Ryter: You go get the sand siblings three.

And Harpie you'll come with me.

Ryter walks through the chaos of singing chibi crew and angry harmonizing Kohana nin like a general in a warzone.

Ryter: I want the staaage up!

The lights go too.

Don't you dare talk to me!

She puts her hand in Sakura's face before she can go on screeching at her. Ryter continues on fazed and points to a chibi at a sound booth.

Ryter: Is the miiic checked?

I want it right?

LISTEN UP YOU STUPID BEES!

Everyone freezes. Ryter looks around at her troops and frowns. Lee isn't back with Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari yet, but she let's it slide. Taking a deep breath she taps the mic once to make sure it's working.

Ryter: Nooowwww...can anyone explain.

The reason for our paaaain?

There's a long pause. Kakashi raises his hand first waiting to be called on. The light flickers over to him and without looking up from his book he begins.

Kakashi: I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon!
No, something isn't right there

Everyone let's out a groan. The light turned to TenTen leaning against a wall non-chalantly.

TenTen: I've got a theory
Some kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside
Her wacky Broadway nightmare

Their eyes turn to Ryter who flips them off in annoyance. They all let out a huff before Kiba cut off any rude comments. Holding up his hands as a peaceful gesture.

Kiba: I've got a theory
We should work this out!

Akamaru barks in agreement and the others nod.

Everyone: It's getting eerie
What's this cheery singing all about?

Kiba thumps his fist in his hand as an idea comes to him. He gives a wolfy smile and puffs out his chest.

Kiba: It could be witches
Some evil witches!
Which is ridiculous
'Cause witches, they were persecuted
Wicca good and love the earth
And women power
And I'll be over here.

He slumps off to a corner feeling slightly defeated.

Hanabi walks to the front of the stage and stares up at Ryter and Harpie innocently.

Hanabi: I've got a theory
It could be bunnies!

There's a sudden collective sweat drop at this. Ryter clears her throat as the spot light is once more on her.

Ryter: I've got a theory...

Ryter's suddenly knocked out of the way as Hanabi takes her place on stage, grabbing the mic. The lights dim to a dark purple as smoke pours out around them. Tobi is behind her playing drums while Sasuke wails on a gutair.

Hanabi: Bunnies aren't just cute
Like everybody supposes
They've got them hoppy legs
And twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

There's a loud explosion as they bang their heads to the music.

Hanabi: Bunnies!
Bunnies!
It must be bunnies!

There's another moment of silence as the lights come back up and everyone returns to normal. Hanabi shrugs walking off the stage and points to Konohamaru.

Hanabi: Or maybe midgets?

Kakashi and TenTen shake their heads. TenTen bites her lip as she stares up at the ceiling.

TenTen: I've got a theory
We should work this fast

Kakashi leans against her back as he turns the page of his book.

Kaka/Ten: Because it clearly could get serious
Before it's passed

A clear strong voice cuts through in the large room, as light suddenly streams in.

??: I've got a theory
It doesn't matter...

Everyone turns to see who it is. Gaara, Temari, Lee, and Kankuro enter the room with light shining behind them. Gaara steps forward slowly followed closely by his siblings and Lee. Kankuro stops to help Kiba up from the corner he's sulking in, smirking slightly.

Kankuro: What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?

Temari: Apocalypse
We've all been there
The same old trips
Why should we care?

She does the same as Kankuro, running a hand through Shikamaru's hair before kissing his lips. Lee comes up to Gaara and takes his hand. Smiling at him. The red head returns it with a shy almost smile. The sweet moments ruined by Ryter jumping on Lee's back and Harpie mussing Gaara's hair.

Everyone: What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute.

The gang start to pair off holding hands and hugging lovingly. Hinata turns a bright pink as Sasuke and Naruto take one of her hands each. Ino and Sakura each give Shino and Chouji kisses on the cheeks giggling.

Everyone: We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die.

Gaa/Naru: Hey, I've died twice!

Everyone: What can't we face if we're together?

Kiba grins happily and cuddles closer to Kankuro, humming slightly.

Kiba: What can't we face?

Kakashi looks a little upset as Neji pulls TenTen into a kiss, but perks up as two pairs of arms wrap around him. He looks up to see Iruka and Gai behind him.

Everyone: What's in this place that we can't weather?

Iruka/Gai: If we're together.

Everyone: There's nothing we can't face...

Hanabi pouts slightly and speaks under her breath.

Hanabi: Except for bunnies...

She gives a shrieky laugh as she runs away from paper balls thrown at her. Ryter and Harpie fall on the ground in a heap both letting out a sigh.

Harpie: Well that was fun.

Ryter: Yeah...Hey! We're not singing anymore.

Harpie holds up her hand in a weak V shape, and rolls her eyes.

Harpie: 'Go Team Venture.' I guess you were just stressed and projecting. Feeling better now?

Ryter: Yeah. I am. But this chapter was a total waste wasn't it?

Harpie stares up at the ceiling. Then back at all the happy couples.

Harpie: Not neccassarily. It would make a good fan appreciation.

Ryter raises an eyebrow and looks over her shoulder at her red headed friend.

Ryter: Like...A backstage bonus?

Harpie: Exactly.

Ryter shrugs.

Ryter: Works for me. I'll post a real chapter in a day or two then.

She waves tiredly.

Ryter: Until next time folks. Peace.
