C E R E M O N Y
It's been like, I don't know, a year already? We've all grown and adapted to the Jungle. The guys had MAJOR muscles. The girls did too, but they didn't show as much as the guys did. Itachi and Lauren had gotten married about two months ago. Naruto and Dizzy got married a month ago. And Sasuke and I were getting married today. Mom had woven a beautiful dress for each of us. They were Junglely colors obviously. Dad had performed the ritual and ta da!
I put on the dress and headed out to the ale. The whole thing was like a daze. All I remember was saying the "I dos" and Sasuke's kiss. So sweet, so loving, so longing. After we parted I turned toward everyone.
"I have an announcement to make." I said into the mic.
For some reason, they looked worried.
"I have decided that we will have a par-tay for the marriages!" I shouted.
Everyone shouted in agreement.
"Alright then. Everyone that wants to sing will sing at least four songs!" I said.
Everyone nodded.
"I'd like to sing." Lauren said.
"Agreed!" Dizzy shouted.
"I'll do it, believe it!" Naruto shouted.
"I'm right behind you." Sasuke whispered from behind.
I smiled. "Alright report on the huge balcony at 3 sharp!" I commanded.
Everyone looked at the sky.
"It's already two thirty." Lauren said.
"Then get movin'!" I yelled jumping off the stage.
I dragged my husband with me. I then changed into a short, navy blue tank top that came down to the end of my ribs. So if you feel where my ribs are, that's where the tank ended. And of course, my tank had a little Uchiha symbol on the back because I'm an Uchiha now. I put on short-short, holely jean shorts that were light blue. I left my hair long and a bit waved in the front, like it was for the wedding. And to top it off, I pulled on my black glove. Perfect to rock out in.
When I opened the door, there was Sasuke. I looked up and down at him. He was just wearing the traditional, boring, navy blue t-shirt with the Uchiha crescent on the back and white shorts.
"Boring." I said with a joking laugh.
"You look very exotic." Sasuke said with a raise eye brow. "What exactly do you have planned for this... celebration?"
I looked at him with a smirky smile. I put a finger on his chest and looked at him.
"I dunno. I'm just winging it." I quickly winked and walked away.
I got the lights and stuff set up. With in a like 20 minutes everything was ready.
"Hey!" Came Dizzy and Lauren's voice.
Dizzy was wearing holely jean caprices and a scarlet red tank that says in big black letters "BITE ME" and then it looked like she wrote, "AND YOU'LL BE SORRY! XD" I laughed when I read it. 'Typical Dizzy..' I laughed in my head. Lauren, on the other hand, had holey jean shorts that were knee length. She was also wearing a red tank top.
"Oh my god, you guys look so former and I look... under dressed!" I laughed.
They laughed as well.
"But you look good!" Lauren complimented.
"Oh, I'm flattered. But you to look sooo much better. Compared to you to, I look like a you know what. Which I'm not, but I mean c'mon, it's a party. So yeah, you guys look wonderful." I said.
Itachi came from behind Lauren and gave her a kiss. He was dressed with khaki shorts and a little island shirt. He was also holding a coconut...?
"What do you think? Do you like it? Dad gave it to me." Itachi said.
He called our Dad... Dad... like our Dad was his Dad too.. That's true! Because Itachi, Sasuke and Dizzy don't have parents... so by marriage, their practically our family!
"I love it Itachi!" Lauren exclaimed.
Then, Naruto came running up and practically flipped over Dizzy. But he didn't. Naruto run and hugged Dizzy around the neck. Dizzy's automatic response was to put her hands up on his arms, which she did.
"Hey Naruto." We all said at the same time, which was totally creepy, yet totally cool.
"What do you think? Like it?" He was obviously talking about his outfit.
Naruto was wearing a white tank and orange shorts.
"Naruto, you look amazing." Dizzy said. We all agreed.
"Alright people!" I said clapping my hands. "Everyone write their names four times on four little pieces of paper, fold them ONCE and then place this in this bucket." I said holding the bucket.
So we all wrote our names on the pieces of paper. But no one asked what they were for. After everyone got them in the bucket, I grabbed it and shook it. I went up on stage. Everyone had taken a seat, even Mom and Dad.
"Aright." I said into the mic. "Tonight, we will be singing four songs each. After that we'll dance and go on with the party. But have four songs in mind. You obviously won't be singing all four at once. So, the first person is... drum role please!" I got a drum LINE.(hehe percussion joke). "Dizzy!"
I walked off the stage and then Dizzy walked on.
"Hi, everyone!" She said enthusiastically. "I will be singing, I'll Remember You by No Secrets."(link: .com/watch?v=7_zpVly8vVU)
I thought Dizzy was an amazing start. She was talented and very enthusiastic.
"Awesome job Dizzy!" I said giving her the thumbs up. "Next is... Lauren!"
Lauren hopped on and I hopped off.
"Hey, I'll be singing Emergency by Paramore." (/watch?v=F62nt6SJFCo)
"Amazingly done, Lauren." I complimented. "Alright! Next up is... Itachi!" We all clapped.
"I'll be singing If Everyone Cared by Nickelback."(link: .com/watch?v=Jm2lt-_CVhs)
'Typical, yet perfect song for Itachi.' I thought clapping. "Alright, this will be the last one I'm announcing for awhile. So let's give it up for... Sasuke!" I yelled straight into the mic.
"Hey, I'll be singing Sold My Soul by the Used." (link: .com/watch?v=TmawlrFhVtE)
"I think of the Worm that I've become
Left Blind from the brightness of your Halo.
No one shines like you do.
My filthy mouth and broken words
This small disease that leaves me crawling,
crawling to you.
Crawl underground for cover.
Stay close to the dirt to keep from falling
From Falling.
Sold My Life to Bring the Rain
Maybe to Wash Me Clean.
Sold My Soul To Stop the Pain
Hoping You'd Set Me Free
All Your Fear, All your shame.
You know that you could lay it all on me
you can lay it all on me.
I took every chance to lash my tongue
You wore the scabs just like an angel
There's something about you.
Horrible Things that I have done
Seems this disease is slowly spreading.
Start running what would you do.
I Crawl on the ground For cover
staying out of my mind to keep from dying
from dying.
Sold My Life To Bring The Rain
Maybe to Wash Me Clean.
Sold my Soul to stop the pain
hoping you'd set me free.
All your fear, all your shame.
You know that you can lay it all on me
you can lay it all on me
Could you forget then what I said
And how I died inside my head.
We're starting over
Not pretending that the past is dead.
All the pain you feel, you own
And there's sometimes I should have known.
Don't keep it inside, let it out and
lay it all on me
Sold My Life To Bring the Rain
Maybe to wash me clean.
Sold my Soul to stop the pain
hoping you'd set my free.
All your fear, all your shame
you know that you can lay it all on me
you can lay it all on me
Cause you know,
that I'll be there
till you want me to go
Cause you know..."
I clapped loudly because you know, he's my husband.
"Wonderfully done Sasuke!" I said into the mic. "Alright let's introduce our next announcer... Dizzy!" I said clapping and walked off the stage.
Ceremony(part 2)
"Hey everyone! Alright the Next Contestant is... Sintary!"
"And I was just on stage..." I mumbled as I jog back up. "Hey everyone! I'll be singing the Best Damn Thing by Avril Lavigne!"(/watch?v=hBKqxSOZrSg)
Everyone clapped and Dizzy and I traded places.
"Well done Sintary! Now is... Sintary?"
"Again?" I hopped back onstage. "Alright, I'll be singing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence."(/watch?v=aezAhZhv7v0)
I ended and everyone clapped. Dizzy hopped back on stage.
"Alright! That was a little awkward so let's get going!" Dizzy exclaimed. "Next up is... NARUTO!" She screamed.
Naruto smiled widely and hopped on the stage. "I'll be singing 'Gotta be Somebody by Nickelback." (link: .com/watch?v=cGb7ukP_ezI)
"This time This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin' here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.
`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.
Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there."
Everyone clapped but I think Dizzy over powered us..
"Alright! That was beautiful Naruto! Next up, is my last person to announce and it's... Me!" Dizzy stayed there. "I'll be singing Black Roses Red by Alana Grace." (link: .com/watch?v=AscSJvnA5-g)
"Can I ask you one question please?
Promise you won't laugh at me honestly,
I'm standing here afraid I'll be betrayed.
As twisted as it seems,
I only feel love when it's in my dreams.
So let in the morning, the light and let the darkness fade away.
Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
La na na
La na na
La na na oh oh oh oh
La na la na la na uh oh
la na ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Drowning in my loneliness
how long must I hold my breath?
So much emptiness inside
I can fill the deepest sea
I reach the sky as
the moon looks down on my
one last tear has come and gone
I'm dying to let your love rain down on me
Can you turn my black roses Red?
Can you turn my Black roses Red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
La na na
La na na
La na na oh oh oh oh
la na la na la na uh oh
la na ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love
Cause I feel like I've never known love."

"That's happened to everyone so far!" Dizzy shouted.
"Yeah!" I agreed.
"Alright, well I'll be singing Lost in you by Three days grace." (link: .com/watch?v=4zRSSfw97XY)
"Alright, thank you!" Lauren said after clapping stopped. "Alright this is my last call before we call a new announcer. So... Dizzy's next!"
"Wait a minute!" I yelled.
"What now, Sintary? Really!" Dizzy scolded.
"I just wanted to point out, that every time either Dizzy or Naruto goes, the other goes." I said smirking.
"Sa... She has a point.." Lauren said.
"Oh, what ever! I'll be singing High School by super chick." Dizzy said. (link .com/watch?v=b_RWQVYYKRQ)

"Awesome job, Itachi." Sasuke said clapping. "Next is... me?" We laughed. That happened a lot. "I'll be singing Headstrong by Trapt."(/watch?v=097cwlSGeNo)
"Amazingly done, Sasuke!" I yelled from the crowd so he didn't congratulate himself.
"Thank you, thank you." Sasuke said bowing.
"Hey! Sasuke!" Dizzy called. We all stared at her. "Did you ever notice that your head looks like a duck's butt?"
Okay, we totally had to laugh at that comment. And at the fact that Sasuke's face was burning.
"Careful, now!" Dizzy called. "You don't wanna burn those cheeks of yours!"
We laughed.
"Alright.." Sasuke said through his teeth. "Next up is Naruto. That's my last announcement." Sasuke dropped the mic and jump off stage.
"Duck butt, duck butt! Catch me if you can. Oh, wait, you can't!" Dizzy laughed as she raced into the forest. Sasuke chased her.
"Sasuke! I swear, if you lay one finger on her, I'll have your wife beat you up!" Naruto yelled into the mic. I smirked. "Anyway. I'll be singing 'If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback."(/watch?v=Pe-Eosmk6oE)
"uhh... I'll take over for now.." I said going on stage. "That was excellent Naruto! Alright the next announcer is... I-ta-chi!"
"Hey, everyone. Alright next up is..."
Ceremony(part 5)
"Next up is... Sasuke!" Itachi said.
There was silence... because Sasuke still hadn't come back.
"Alright. Hold on." I mumbled.
'Dizzy. Lead him back here to sing.' I sent.
'You got'cha!' She replied.
I smirked. "He'll be here in... 5... 4..." I said.
"3 2 1!" Dizzy yelled quickly. She ran onto the stage with Sasuke following.
Itachi stopped Sasuke. "It's your turn." He said.
"Uhh..." Sasuke said. "I'll be singing Kryptonite by Three Doors Down." (/watch?v=pRvbxLlUexU)
"Wonderful, my little brother." Itachi said.
"Hn." Was the reply. Dizzy ruffled his hair, but I stopped him from chasing her again.
"Alright, next up is... Sintary!" Itachi said.
I jumped on stage. "I'll be singing, Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson." (.com/watch?v=wmglH2H19eI )
"Miss Independent.
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance.
Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man Interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man
help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss
independent's no longer
need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love,
is true
Misguided hear
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that
line, you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not
to miss out on true love
So, by changing a misconception
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real.
What happened to miss
independent's no longer
need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true
When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I've finally seen
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door.
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real.
What happened to miss
independent's no longer
need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true."
I ended with a bow as my family clapped.
"Alright, next up is... Sasuke!"
"I'll be singing, How You Remind Me by Nickelback." (/watch?v=gq9fi8fuEzc)
We clapped. "Next is Lauren!"
"Finally..." I heard her mumble. I couldn't blame her. "I'll be singing, Follow Me by Kay Hanley." (link: .com/watch?v=tyvdrCgDJ3o)
We clapped. Dizzy, Itachi and I whistled for her.
"Alright, the next announcer is... Naruto!" Itachi said.
"Hey, everyone!" Naruto said. I went up on stage and whispered something to him. "Alright, mu announcing will be cut by one. Anyway, next up is..."
Ceremony(part 6)
"Hey, everyone!" Naruto said. I went up on stage and whispered something to him. "Alright, mu announcing will be cut by one. Anyway, next up is.. Itachi!"
"Hey, I'll be singing, 'Brother My Brother' by Blessed Souls of a Union."(/watch?v=gP2YZER6ar0(I Love this version of Brother my brother 3))
'Another song.. perfect for him.' I thought as I clapped.
"Amazing, Itachi! Believe it!" Naruto yelled into the mic. "Okay, next up is Lauren!"
"Hey, I'll be singing, 'Cry' by Rihanna."(Link: .com/watch?v=zgDdFA_iMQs)
"Amazing! Okay, the last performer is... drum role please!" Drum role. "ITACHI!"
"Hey everyone." Itachi gulped. "It's actually kind of nerve wrecking to be the last one up here." We laughed. "So, I'll be singing, 'Never Gonna Be Alone' by Nickelback."(link: .com/watch?v=DGkpxKw_eOA)
"Amazing Itachi!" Naruto said. I walked up on stage.
"Listen up everyone! I need performers up here immediately!" I yelled into the mic. Everyone met up on stage. "Alright, this will be our finale. I picked a song everyone knows. Just sing along, got it?" I said off the mic. Everyone nodded. "Alright, let's make some noise!" We ran out on stage.
I looked at our audience and smiled. "We were born here in the jungle! We were taken to an 'easier' way of living. But we were born for the hardship of the jungle. WE. WERE. BORN FOR THIS!" I yelled as the music started. (Link: .com/watch?v=DXaSPLp4AY8)
Everyone clapped. Well, us and our parents. "Alright!" I coughed. "Let's do some dancing so I can stop yelling!"
Everyone jumped off the stage, happy and hyper. I smiled. We danced until the sun came up. And that was that. We laughed and laughed and laughed. We slept outside like usual. It was peaceful out here.
