It was late evening, Sasori had rented a U-Haul truck and was on his way to get Lola and all her stuff, Kisame, Tobi, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Zetsu were in the living room playing board games. Afterall, it was annual 'Thursday night board game' night. Kabuto had thought it up a few years back, it was one idea of his that they had decided to keep. Itachi, was in his bedroom. The door was closed. He had sent Marisol and Dana out to dinner that night. Deidara had gone down the hallway after losing 3 games of Chutes and Ladders and now he opened up the bedroom door without even knocking.

"I swear I hate….what are you doing, yeah?" Deidara asked suspiciously. Itachi was sitting on his bed, his back facing the doorway. "Itachi, you're scaring me. The last time I saw you in this position was because there was a red wine stain on your new Nautica boxers and you were not happy then, yeah. Oh and I was the one who put that stain there, yeah." Itachi didn't answer Deidara. Deidara was concerned. "Itachi, okay now you're scaring me like really badly. You're not going to kill me are….." Deidara had stepped around to see what was going on with Itachi. "Oh……my……..god…….yeah. Itachi……is that what I think it is, yeah?" Deidara's voice had gotten squeaky. He quickly started fanning himself because it was common for Deidara to get overheated when he got too excited. "Itachi…..it's…….it's HUGE, yeah." Deidara paused. "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! ITACHI!"

"Deidara! Shut up! Shut up!" Itachi yelled at him.

"Sorry, yeah. It's just that I serious think I am going to start crying right now because I know what that is, yeah." Deidara said losing his breath. What Itachi and Deidara were staring at Itachi's custom ordered 7 karot engagement ring for Dana purchased from Tiffany and Co. in New York. It took him 4 months to get it.

"It's beautiful, it's perfect…just like Dana." Itachi said softly.

"Oh my god, Itachi! We're going to be related, yeah! I've always wanted to be your cousin, yeah!" Deidara said continuously wiping tears from his eyes.

"For god's sake Deidara! You're going to be my brother-in-law not my cousin!" Itachi told him angrily. Deidara was still fanning his face as tears of joy still streamed down. "Deidara, no one knows about this. I'm going to tell everyone when we get back from Cancun because I'm proposing to Dana in Cancun." Itachi said. Deidara was starting to calm down a little.

"Well Itachi, if you're going to marry my sister, my favorite sister in the whole world we have got to do something about the size of this apartment, yeah. I mean Lola got a job 30 minutes from here and she's moving in with us, yeah. And we can't leave Marisol out we just can't. She'll be all alone and there'll be no one for her to compare sex with in the cab if she doesn't move in with us, yeah. I'm going to casually mention to everyone else that we need to buy…..a house, yeah. But I wont' say anything about you marrying Dana, yeah." Itachi closed the ring box up for the first time in the past 2 hours.

"Deidara, I swear to god I think these are the most intelligent statements I've ever heard you make. Hey, hey you know what…I could get a paper with some home listings in it tomorrow. So, go say something to everyone else." Itachi said sending Deidara on his task. Deidara quickly regained his composure and fixed his hair again before returning to the living room. He left the bedroom.

"Alright, I have an announcement to make, yeah." Deidara said. Everyone looked at him.

"I've been thinking….if Lola is moving in with us, and Marisol will be soon enough, I think we should consider buying a house, yeah." Kisame always hated it when Deidara made speeches with his hands on his hips like he was right now.

"You know what, you're right. We need a house. We have no room in this place anymore. Hidan's collection of religious items he's purchased at yard sales is flowing out of the closet. Marisol has brought so many things over here it's like she owns our living room. There is just no room on the deck anymore for me to photosynthesize because Kisame's fichus' need all the sunlight . Deidara, we need a house." Zetsu agreed.

"Seriously, this is a good idea. Kakuzu needs to give me some more space anyway." Hidan said.

"Okay, well in that case Itachi will get a paper with listings in it before we leave for Cancun tomorrow, yeah." And with that Deidara left the living room again. When Deidara entered the bedroom again Itachi was on the phone talking to 'the leader' and holding Dana's engagement ring on his chest.

"Yeah, that's right, we're really needing to buy a house. Oh a budget? Hmmmm, well we haven't talked about it. But I make good decisions and I'm totally hot so I'm thinking a reasonable budget would be….2 million dollars. Yes, I agree that kind of money will buy a lot of house. But remember 'the leader' Deidara and I are leaving for Cancun tomorrow. Alright, yeah that sounds great 'the leader'. Okay bye." Itachi hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Sasori had arrived at Lola's apartment an hour away.

"Hi honey! Was the drive okay?" Lola asked throwing her arms around Sasori.

"Yes it was just fine. Now I am here and ready to help you pack." He insisted.

"I really appreciate you helping me do this." Lola said.

"Oh, it's no problem at all, especially for you." Sasori said.

"Well, I have everything boxed up. All we have to do is get it to the truck." Lola said. Of course she had many many boxes arranged around her apartment. The two of them would have a lot of loading to do throughout the day. Sasori's phone rang just as they were getting ready to begin loading the truck.

"Hey Kisame." Sasori answered the phone. "Oh, are you serious? We're going to buy a house? God, that's awesome. We need a house, who's idea was that. It was Deidara's idea? But…he never comes up with good ideas. Well, anyway you all start looking at homes. Lola and I will be there late tonight." Sasori hung up the phone.

"Oh my god, a house?" Lola asked Sasori.

"Yes can you believe that? And….Deidara thought it would be a good idea, he must have read a decent magazine article that day or something." Sasori said. "Anyway, let's get packing."

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Look at this house Zetsu! It has 7 bedrooms, a washer/dryer. Two whirlpool tubs, a professional kitchen, 4 walk-in closets, a pool, a tennis court, and an outside bar, yeah!" Deidara said happily as he continuously bothered Zetsu as the two of them searched a home listings page that Kisame went to the gas station and picked up."

"Deidara, what's the price on that house." Zetsu asked with his head in his hands. Deidara normally didn't stress Zetsu out, mainly because Deidara was usually stressing Sasori out.

"Four million dollars, yeah!" Deidara said with shining eyes. Zetsu shook his head.

"DEIDARA!" Zetsu yelled at him.

"What!?!?" Deidara squaked.

"Look, all you've done for the past 10 minutes is pick out houses that are completely unreasonable. Now, you may be used to all the Beverly Hills glamour and you know Hollywood shit, but the rest of us are normal….except Itachi! From now on you pick out homes that are 300 thousand dollars or less." Zetsu instructed. Now Deidara was pouting because he had to pick out what he said were 'stupid ugly homes, yeah'.

Itachi was frantically doing some final packing for the Cancun trip the next day. It was a good thing those two were leaving town amongst all this new house talk.
