"Can you please do it?"
"I wanna see it too—do it!"
"Please?"
"PLEASE!?"

Severus looked up from the stew he was cooking and glanced at Shizune who looked equally curious. He turned down the heat from the stove and carefully cleaned his hands off before turning and leaving out the kitchen behind the older woman.
He came to see Zabuza standing in the middle of the room with the boys and TenTen standing around him, pulling on his arms while Tsunade was draped across his couch, face twisted with smugness as she too beg Zabuza to do something.
"What are you doing?" Sever inquired. Tsunade turned around and her eyes lit up, the children soon catching onto something that Severus and Shizune did not understand. They rushed over to the two dark haired people and latched onto them, Tsunade literally mimicking the children.
"Zabuza was telling us about how he went to this show one time," Naruto started.
"It wasn't a show—it was a street performer, he walked by it," TenTen corrected.
"Yeah and they were doing this song with clone jutsu!" Gaara added.
"And he said it looked cool so he watched it," Haku piped up.
"He also said he never forgot the song so we want to see him do it," Tsunade finished. Severus raised a brow and glanced at Zabuza who had his face in his hand, completely embarrassed though Severus wasn't sure if he was embarrassed because he had let something like that slip or because they were asking him to reenact it. Severus supposed he should take pity on the poor man…

"I cannot believe you of all people want to see this," Zabuza growled, standing in the middle of their backyard where there was enough room for such a performance. Severus simply shrugged and sat down in the chair between Shizune and Tsunade while the children sat on a blanket in front of them. He was actually quite excited and Zabuza hadn't said no so it was the man's fault.
"Begin!" Tsunade cheered. Zabuza sighed and when he started his voice was low and he was crouched slightly.
"It's a cruel, cruel world and all you little boys and girls," a clone appeared on Zabuza's right, looking oddly evil as it smirked and sung along.
"And some mean, nasty people want to have you for their SUPPER!" Here another clone joined their duo and they advanced a little, their faces twisted in evil expressions before the real Zabuza turned and pushed the others back as if saving them all.
"But if you follow me, you can all be FREE, FREE!" Zabuza threw his hands around and the two clones stood up, looking a bit more friendly and started to do complicated tricks through the air. One stopped and winked.
"You can all be free, as a bird flying in the sky!" he shouted, "If you dream, if you dream MY DREAM!"
The friendly flips and expressions stopped and they all crouched low again, their voices deep and menacing as they advanced.
"It's a cruel, cruel world full of little boys and girls," the real Zabuza started, allowing his clones to speak at the same time.
"And the selfish, mean nasty people—."
"Nasty, nasty, NASTY, NASTY!" the clones all added, nearly cutting him off as they did their flips for each 'nasty'. Zabuza waved a finger and went back to the friendly expression.
"You can make your day, you can laugh, and you can smile,
You can come and stay a while,
You can dream my dream,
You can have it all with me,
You can dream my dream
You can dream my… dream." The clones and Zabuza all gave a bow before the two doppelgangers melted into water. They all burst into applause, nearly sounding like thunder for the spectacular performance.

The End
Yes, that was Floop's song. No I do not own it. It's from Spy Kids which I do not own (not that I would want to). Zabuza is not out of character. No one can resist a persuasive Severus with Company.
I hoped you enjoyed that silliness.
