"Alright, it's 8:30. The sessions begin this morning at 9:00. We need to decide what we're going to attend and when." Kisame said. It was the next morning and it was time for everyone to get down to business…well almost everyone.

"Sasori, what are you going to attend? I can't decide between the 9 AM 'Advanced Evil Planning' seminar or the 9 AM 'Techniques and Jutsus for holding hostages'." Zetsu wondered. He shoved the schedule of events toward Sasori. Sasori shoved it right back at him.

"Zetsu, do you have any idea how many of these things I've been to? Do you have any idea how many lectures I've sat through? Do you have any idea how many times I've attended these things and done exactly what I'm supposed to do? Zetsu, I'm in Las Vegas with Lola….I am NOT going to any of these things. Me and Lola are going to live it up for the next three days."

"Whatever, Pein will you help me decide what seminar to attend?" Zetsu asked.

"Kakuzu, you always do shit like this! See, you're only going to the 'financial planning for evil organizations' because you think that the leader is going to turn all the banking over to you!"

"I do NOT think that! You just want to attend the 'religious beliefs for missing-nins' because you want to see how many other Jasshin followers there are…you're not interested in the different beliefs!"

"So, what's wrong with networking you retarded piece of shit! It's good to fellowship with your fellow Jasshinists, seriously!" Hidan was losing patience.

"Why won't you just go to the financial meeting with me!"

"Why won't you just go to hell! Hidan screamed. It was going to be a pleasant day…

"Now, I was thinking me and Dana would go to one of those amazing boutiques downtown since you and Itachi are going to that 'Explosives' seminar thing. Is that okay?" Marisol asked.

"It's okay I just wish I could go too, yeah." Deidara's heart sunk a little.

"Well, baby, we'll go back if we find something like…you know…worth seeing." Marisol reassured him.

"We will, yeah!?" Deidara felt better.

"Of course we will. You two go to that thing and get those free insulated mugs you were talking about and we'll see you for lunch." Deidara kissed her goodbye and off she went with Dana to wreak havoc on Las Vegas.

"Hey….HEEEEEEY! Stop all the arguing. Are you two taking Tobi with you today?" Kisame asked.

"Yes, we'll deal with Tobi even though he DID keep us up half the night with that stupid Battleship game." Kakuzu said.

"Konan and I are going to hit all the booths and displays first. We want to get to all the free stuff before it's all picked over." Pein explained.

"Hmmm…You do have a good point….and I do like things that are free….I'm going to!" Kakuzu had completely changed his mind from the original idea of his financial planning meeting.

"Okay, it's 8:47. I'm going to go see if Lola's ready to get going. Make sure Itachi knows it's not polite to scream at the booth vendors this year."Sasori warned as he left everyone else. He decided this would be a good time to call Gaara and check on him and the cat. "Hey, it's me. How's it going?"

"Hi, dude, you went to a Harvard graduation! I can't believe that you went to a Harvard graduation. Oh and this cat doesn't do much." Gaara said on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, Harvard was something else and yeah…it's..well it's a cat and it walks around and occasionally pounces on its toy mouse."

"Oh by the way, it curled up in the bed in your room but don't worry I washed everything." Gaara explained.

"Alright, well I just thought I'd check on things. I'm off to play some table games later this morning. See you in two days." Sasori hung up the phone.

Itachi and Deidara were roaming around one of the MGM Grand convention rooms when it happened……"Oh….my…..god….what the hell are you doing here?!" Itachi said completely shocked and outraged at the same time to see Sasuke standing before him. Sasuke sighed.

"I'm here with you know, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Kimi…." Itachi cut Sasuke off.

"Please say not more….you're here because you're Orochimaru's bitch and oh my god your shirt is horrible!"

"I am not Orochimaru's…." Sasuke sighed again. "Look, the airline lost my luggage and this shirt is Kabuto's because I slept with him…..oh damn wait what I meant to say was that I didn't sleep with him like that….." Itachi looked at Deidara who had his hands folded over his chest at the sight of Kabuto and then he glared back at Sasuke.

"Oh….you have said ENOUGH."

"Hey, Sasuke the seminar on Kimiaru's bloodline is about to…..Deidara." Kabuto said that last part coldly as he noticed Itachi and Deidara with Sasuke.

"Kabuto." Deidara answered back in the same manner.

"I see you're still wearing the expensive clothes that hug the incredible body you have." Kabuto said with as little jealousy in his voice as possible…it didn't work.

"Yes….I see you're still wearing……glasses, yeah." It was all Deidara could think of.

"Hey you guys get over….UCHIHA ITACHI." Orochimaru hissed with anger as he saw who Kabuto and Sasuke had encountered.

"Orochimaru. I see you still want my less hot little brother and that you still have got no game." Itachi challenged.

"Itachi, we are so not playing basketball right now, yeah." Deidara whispered. Itachi glared at Deidara. "Well, we aren't, yeah." Deidara tried to defend his statement.

"Uchiha Itachi, you think you're one of those 'high rollers' well….I will tell you…I played the nickel slots last night….I won four dollars." Orochimaru said.

"OH MY GOD! NONE OF THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE! AND WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ADRESS ME BY MY FULL NAME!" Itachi was losing it which wasn't exactly unusual. "Come on Deidara, let's get out of here before we get kicked off some VIP list somewhere." Itachi said quickly dragging Deidara away from the scene.

"But,Itachi we so didn't get any of the free stuff, yeah! I really wanted one of those explosive samples, yeah!" Deidara whined.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! We can't be seen around my stupid less attractive….hey…you do think I'm hotter than Sasuke…right? I mean I still am the hot one right?" Itachi needed the reassurance.

"Okay, Itachi I'm going to say this in a totally non-gay, way, yeah. I do think you're the hotter one and obviously Dana does too since there's all those times when I can hear her underneath you screaming out when she…."

"Okay, okay, okay…I….I think I get it." Itachi laughed. "Yeah, Dana really does think I'm hot…..in so many ways."

"I have one thousand dollars in my bra. Now, listen. As you already know I used to work a blackjack table when I was in Atlantic City. I know how the dealers arrange the decks. I'm going for the 50 dollar table. Now you come watch me when I hit and when I stay."

"God, Lola you're like…one of those guys from Oceans Eleven….only not a guy and so damn gorgeous." Sasori told her as Lola drug him by the hand to the fifty dollar blackjack table.

"Hello there." Lola was greeted by a blackjack dealer. Sasori already didn't like the look on his face.

"Hi there, what kind of hand you dealing today?"

"You're lucky hand baby doll, you're lucky hand." Sasori was now convinced that the card dealer would rape Lola if Sasori walked away. The dealer laid a card down.

"Hit me." The dealer laid another card down. "Hit me." Lola insisted. She looked at the next card. She knew what to do. But Lola was an excellent bluffer, so she thought about it. "I'll stay." She said finally making eye contact with the dealer. She watched him lay down the next card. She won the hand. The dealer shoved a one hundred dollar token in front of her, she had doubled her money. She shoved the token back toward the dealer and watched him lay down a card for a new hand. "Hit me." She said confidently. She looked at the next card. "Hit me." She did this to the next 2 cards as well. "I'll stay." The dealer revealed the next card. Sure enough, Lola won another hand. Now, there she was with two hundred dollars.

"Congratulations, it really is your lucky day." Lola smiled.

"Every day is MY lucky day." Lola said and took a nearly paralyzed Sasori with her as she left the table.

"I've never wanted you more than I do right now." Sasori barely choked out, his mouth had gone dry.

"Okay baby, now this two hundred dollars…I'll turn it in to six hundred on the higher tables. But here…" Lola reached into her bra. "Here's fifty dollars go play the poker table. When you see me again…I'll be buying dinner at Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico tonight!" Lola was the perfect gambling cheerleader.

"Uh huh….I love you….." Sasori was still in a slight paralytic shock.
