"Hmmmm you look better than usual today." Itachi said opening up the door for his brother. "So….where is she?" he asked eagerly. Sasuke smiled.

"You are going to be crazy about her…she's just….so great." Sasuke said.

"Hey dumbasses, clear a spot off on that couch!" Itachi ordered as Sasori, Lola and Kisame were forced to move.

"Careen, over here!" Sasuke called to someone. She stepped in front of the door but when she walked in…..no one said a word. "Um….this is Careen…she's my girlfriend." Sasuke said nervously with his arm around her. Itachi's mouth hung open. Kisame hadn't blinked for 12 seconds. Dana and Marisol kept looking back and forth at one another quickly. Marisol's eyes were glued on Sasori and her hand was over her mouth. Hidan and Kakuzu were trying slowly to leave the room. Zetsu had clammed up in his plant-like cocoon. Deidara had never been this stunned. Thank god Tobi broke the silence.

"Hi! I'm Tobi, do you like Jello? We have some!" Careen smiled.

"Yeah, it's okay." She answered. There she was, Careen, Sasuke's girlfriend…she was wearing white and red stripe knee socks with black ballet flats, a faded jean skirt that was raveling out at the bottom, a belt that looked like a seat belt of a car, a cut off ACDC t- shirt which showed her belly botton ring, at least 50 bangles on one wrist, a black ribbon around her neck and she had spikey black hair to match it all. Of course, it really was a nice haircut. Her makeup was a little too heavy especially in the eyeliner department and her lipstick was a little too red.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…." Itachi started to become weak in the knees. It was a good thing Deidara was behind him to catch him as he leaned backwards. Deidara started fanning Itachi's face.

"Hey! Come sit down! Tobi excitedly told Careen and Sasuke as he dug through the refrigerator for the grape Jello he had made earlier.

"Hi…uh….I'm, I'm Lola." Lola could hold her own, she just moved in a little closer to Sasori.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you." Careen said delighted. She and Sasuke sat on the couch beside Kisame.

"Hi, I'm Kisame." Kisame was relieved that this girl was actually quite polite and seemed to be well….normal.

"Dana……what should we do?" Marisol asked very softly.

"I don't know, yeah…let's just…stand here, yeah." Was her well thought out answer.

"Oh god, Deidara…..why…what the hell has happened here…this is all wrong." Itachi whined as Deidara held on to him.

"It's okay Itachi, maybe she's in the circus, yeah." Deidara answered.

"Look at her, Deidara, oh my god would you just look at that girl! You know what forget this…I am taking my dumbass brother…outside!" Itachi stood up. By this time Careen had gotten into a conversation with Zetsu. It seemed as everyone else was warming up to her.

"Sasuke….I need to talk to you…outside….NOW!" Itachi demanded. Sasuke got up form the couch and followed Itachi through the front door. Itachi got him outside and with arms folded across hi chest glared at him.

"Well, what do you think of her?" Sasuke asked, his eyes gleaming. Very calmly Itachi began to answer him.

"What do I think of her? You want to know what I think of her?" And then all hell broke loose. "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DRAG INTO OUR APARTMENT!? WHERE THE HELL DO YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT!? SASUKE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING! OH THAT'S RIGHT YOU WEREN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh…my….god….please tell me you have not slept with that…..that THING….in there on our couch!" Itachi had to stop to breathe. Sasuke swallowed har.

"No…I haven't…..but….are you telling me that you don't like her?" Sasuke was sad. Itachi sighed.

"Foolish….little….brother……….WHY THE HELL WOULD I LIKE HER!?!?!?!?!?!?" Itachi's anger was going to get completely out of control in about 12 seconds.

"Well, I mean what's wrong with her….you haven't even talked to her yet."

"What's wrong with her…WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER!?" Itachi's voice had gotten all high and squeaky. "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER! First, she would NEVER make it in the fashion world! Second, NONE of her clothes have any recognizable labels. Third, she has a BELLY BUTTON RING! Fourth, can we say no taste in SOCKS! Fifth, have you SEEN her makeup!? And the last reason and probably the most important of all SHE'S NOT BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sharingan had never burned so intently in his eyes.

"Well, you know, that might work for you. But, I want someone who is much more than a…. dumb fashionista." Oh no…..Sasuke did not choose his words wisely. Itachi was trembling. He gasped.

"Oh…….my…….god…….you……just…….called…..my…..beautiful……girlfriend…….dumb…….foolish……..little………brother……….I AM GOING TO FUCKING THROW YOU OVER THE BANOSTER RIGHT NOW! OH MY GOD! YOU ARE SUCH A WORTHLESS PIECE OF…..OOOOOOOOH WAIT UNTIL I TELL DEIDARA ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!! Oh god, I…I can't deal with this….I thing I'm going to……oh god….I can't believe you would call Dana dumb….oh my god you are NOT invited to my wed……I mean my Wednesday night couples night! You know, I have to go clear my head now, and by the way……THAT will NEVER last." Itachi said and with that he stormed off and sent Sasuke back into the apartment.

"Hey, Dana….let's try to ask her something." Marisol suggested. Careen was telling Hidan some kind of story which brought about a lot of laughter. Kisame, Zetsu, and Kakuzu had left the room for a bit after theyu had discovered everything was safe with this girl. Hand in hand Dana and Marisol approached her carefully, making certain to stay on the opposite side of the coffee table.

"Ummmm…..Hi! I'm Marisol….Deidara is my boyfriend and I'm at this apartment a lot." Careen studied her. Marisol looked over at Lola to see her reaction, she just winked.

"Wow, you and you're friend are like…total cheerleaders." Careen laughed. "It's not my thing but whatever, hey."

"I'm Dana, yeah. I'm Deidara's sister. Oh and I love to read Vogue, what magazine do you like, yeah?" Dana's eyes sparkled.

"I'm not into magazines, but I'm reading George Orwell's 1984 right now." Dana looked so confused.

"Oh…..so is that like a yearbook or something, yeah?" Dana asked. Careen laughed and explained her book.

"So, are you two a couple? Careen asked Sasori and Lola.

"Yes, yes we are." Sasori said confidently, his arm wrapped around the beautiful Lola.

"Cool, you two are really glamorous." Lola blushed, no one had ever told her that before.

"Well, he did just get me a matching CRZR phone like his, now we have unlimited mobile to mobile." Lola said.

"Hey um, Careen…..do you worship Satan or anything, yeah?" Deidara boldly asked. He wasn't nearly as critical as Itachi was…..although he would have never picked something like Careen out. Careen laughed as she ate Tobi's Jello.

"No, I don't worship Satan."

"So serisouly are you into Jasshin?" Hidan asked hopefully.

"No, not really."

"Then if you don't worship Satan…why is your eyeliner so dark, yeah?" Deidara wondered. Careen shrugged.

"I like it." She answered.

"Oooooooh, so you….like it that way…..are you sure, yeah?" Deidara asked. It had been an interesting introduction. But when would Itachi ever come back and how long would she and Sasuke be here on this visit?
