"Hurry up, Naruto! Your mum is gonna call ! " Yelled Kiba at running blonde.
"Shit! I knew that we shouldn't go on that last ride. The line for it was huge, and I told you that we should leave it for tomorrow. But no, you started making a scene there like a little kid. What are you, 5 years old? And now those people must think that I'm some kind of child molester."
They managed to get in elevator just in nick of time. Kiba pressed the button for their floor.
"K-Kiba...", said panting Naruto, " P-P-Please s-shut up!" He tried to catch his breath, but his lungs were screaming in protest, and he felt like trowing up. "W-Why do you look l-like you could run s-some more, while I'm dying here?"
Kiba smirked at his friend, "Well, that could be because I'm on tracking team and you are not. Or, the fact that I go every morning running with Akamaru. If you get a dog, he could be your excuse for doing an exercise once in a while."
Naruto growled at his friend. When the elevator door opened, they rushed toward their room. As they got inside, the phone start ringing. Naruto pick it up first, "Hello?"
"Naruto, baby, is that you?"
"Yes, Mom."
Kushina signed with relief. "Are you ok? Your voice sounds strange."
Naruto answered, "I'm fine. We were just running on our way here."
"Oh, ok. Did you have a great time today?"
"Yes, we did. We got to see a fireworks, and to ride on more rides."
"That's great. I'm so glad that you are truly enjoying your time. Now, can you get Kiba on the phone? Mrs. Tsume is here, and she wants to talk to him."
"Sure. Just a second." He turned to his friend, "Hey Kiba, your mom is on the phone."
While Kiba was talking to his mom, Naruto went to the kitchen in search for some food. He was starving. He found there some dinner leftovers from previous day. 'This will do,' thought Naruto. While he was waiting for the food to warm up, his cell chimed, telling him that he got a text message. Looking at to see from whom it is, he was surprised to see that it was from Haku. Other boy was asking him how is he. Naruto called him back. Haku pick up after third ring, "Naruto, how are you? How do you like Universal so far?"
The blonde answered, "Hey, I'm fine. The park is amazing. It was really wort coming here."
"Glad to hear that you like it here. How is that friend of yours?" Haku asked giggling.
"He is fine. But sometimes he sucks out all the fun reacting as tomorrow is gonna be Armageddon. On other hand, if our parents catch us not being in the room on time, we are doomed."
Haku laughed. The blonde boy was hilarious. "Well then, what are you gonna do for Halloween tomorrow?"
"Halloween is tomorrow?! I totally forgot. I don't know, is not like we had any plans since we don't have the costumes for it."
"Then, how about this. You remember that I told you about my friend who lives here?"
"Yeah, you mention him."
"He is the owner of the several clubs here in city. Tomorrow night is gonna be a Halloween party, and I wanted to invite you two to go with me."
"Ugh, I don't know if we can. My mom is certainly gonna be against it."
"Then don't tell her."
"But I need to come up with some excuse for us staying late outside."
"Why you don't tell her that you want to see a parade in the park? If I remember, there is one starting at 10:30."
"I'm not so sure that she is gonna buy that story."
"Naruto," said Haku impatiently. "Just go and try."
"Ok, wait a sec."
Naruto put Haku on hold, and went to Kiba.
The brunette looked at him. "Kiba, may I talk to my mom for a sec?"
"Sure." He gave him the phone.
"Hello, Mrs. Tsume. May I please talk to my mom?" He asked Kiba's mom.
"Of course, Naruto. Wait a little bit."
"Thank you."
"Yes, baby?" Asked Kushina when she got the phone.
"Mom, you know that tomorrow is our last day here. So, I was wondering if we could, maybe, stay longer in the park to watch the parade."
On other side Kushina was silent.
Naruto continued, "It's not gonna be to late, around 10:30 or something. It would be nice to watch it. Who knows when we would be able to come back here. Please?"
Naruto was playing with phone's cord, anxiously awaiting his mother answer.
Kushina was thinking. Her boy was behaving, and he deserved to go, but she couldn't stop thinking that something would happen. 'Calm down.' She told herself.
"Do you promise me that you'll be in the park, and not some other place?"Asked Kushina.
Naruto didn't like to lie to his mother, but if he doesn't she would not let them go. "Of course, Mom. I swear." He held his breath. 'Please God, let this work! Please, let this work!' He prayed in his mind. After a few seconds, which seamed like a year to him, his mother answered. "Ok. You may go. But please, after parade go home."
Naruto could not believe it. His mom actually agreed to the idea! His whole face was instantly lit up. "Thank you, Mom! I promise that we would come home as the parade ends."
"Ok then. I will talk to you tomorrow. Good night, baby. Sweet dreams."
"Good night, Mom. I love you."
Naruto hang up. He saw that Kiba was looking at him with question in his eyes.
"Hold it just for a sec. I need to finish other call." Naruto told his friend. He went to the kitchen, and got his cell. Pressing the hold button, he asked, "Haku, are you still there?"
"Yes." Other boy answered.
"That plan worked and my mother said yes."
"That's great. So, do you have any idea what you guys wanna be for Halloween?"
"Um, I wanna be something unusual, something daring. Let me ask Kiba what he want to be."
"Ok."
He yelled from the kitchen, "Oy, Kiba. Do you know what you want to be for Halloween?"
Kiba came inside, "What? Where does this question comes from? I thought that we are supposed to go to see the parade."
"Kiba, Kiba... Ask question later, and answer me now. What costume you want to wear?"
"I don't know. Something scary, I guess. I can't picture myself dress-up as White Bunny from Alice in the Wonderland."
Naruto could hear Haku's laugh trough the phone. Other boy must heard Kiba's smart remark. "Well, you heard him. I think he has a man integrity issue." Haku laughed harder. Naruto totally ignored Kiba's deadly stare.
"Anyhow, how are we gonna go to that club?"
Haku sobered a little, "I'm gonna come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon. We are gonna return to my place and get ready for party. And don't worry about the costumes, I got you covered."
"Thank you, man."
"You are welcome. Just give me an address."
After he did it, Haku hang up. Naruto took deep breath and turned to Kiba. He knew that his friend have a lot of questions.
"What is going on, Naruto? I thought that we are gonna watch parade tomorrow."
"We are not. That was only an excuse for mom to let as stay longer outside. Haku actually invited us to Halloween party. He will come to pick us up, and he will also give us a costumes."
"I don't like that you lied to your mom."
"Neither do I, but we both know that she would not let us go. This was the only way. What is done, is done. In any case, tomorrow is our last day here."
"I know that. It's just that I think it is wrong to lie to her. And it is not like we know Haku that well. Can we trust him?"
"I think we can. But if you want to stay here tomorrow, go ahead. I am going." With saying that, Naruto left the kitchen and went to his room. Kiba looked after the blonde. He wanted to go, too. Just, deep inside, he felt like something is wrong about all this situation. Deciding to ignore this feeling, he went to his room to sleep. The biggest problem was, his sixth sense for bed stuff have never failed him before.
