I'm either utterly brilliant or completely insane. Then again, is there really a difference?

7:30 pm and Sasuke had just arrived at the restaurant.

"I never thought I'd be happy to be going back to work." Muttered Sasuke as he punched in his timecard. "And I never thought I'd actually miss Naruto."

"And just what's wrong with me?" To his credit, Sasuke didn't jump in the air and scream like a little girl, but he didn't turn around either.

"How long have you been standing behind me?"

"I just got here."

"Ah." Sasuke executed a massive spinning kick, sending Naruto sprawling across the corridor. Wasting no time he then proceeded to stomp the blonde. "DON'T YOU EVER SNEAK UP ON ME AGAIN!"

"Ack...I shouldn't...oof...be able to...STOPPIT...sneak up on you at all!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's leg and threw him off balance. His revenge was short-lived as a fist connected to his head.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SASUKE?"

"Good evening to you too, Sakura." Moaned Naruto.

"I'm here too, you know." a low voice drawled from the ceiling. Team 7 looked up and spotted their lackadaisical supervisor. "Yo." He waved from behind his porno mag.

"Must you read that filth in front of me?" snarled Sakura.

"Of course, how else will I have time to surf for porn on the Internet?"

"Why you..." the rosette looked like she was going to try and throttle Kakashi but the silver-haired man held up a finger.

"Ah, ah, ah! Insubordination results in loss of honour and you'll have to clean the bear cages for a month." Chided Kakashi. "Now come along minions, let's not keep customers waiting."

"Huh?" blinked Sakura and Sasuke.

"Oh, didn't Naruto tell you? We have a delivery already."

To Naruto's credit, he didn't even bat an eye at the two glares levelled at him. No, instead he threw down a wasabi powder bomb and disappeared.

He didn't reappear again until Kakashi came back from the dispatch office.

"Just in time." Said the Supervisor.

"I was watching you guys from the Security Room."

"You're allowed in there?"

"No, but since when has that ever stopped anybody?"

"Touche."

"Can we just go already?" glared Sasuke.

"Oh, right." Kakashi handed him the delivery bag. "You're assignment is to get that to the movie theatre on the south side of town."

At said movie theatre two stoners were getting their tickets.

"Duuude, I hear this movie has some awesome special effects." Said one.

"Yah, it's gonna be killer!" the other agreed. "But dude, I've got a serious case of the munchies and we have, like, no money left? Are you suuuure we're gonna get snacks?"

"Kevin I already said it's taken care of. My bro hooked me up with this sweet delivery service..."

"This is stupid." Sakura complained as Team 7 hopped across the rooftops. "Why are we delivering food to a movie theatre?"

"Ours is not to question why, so shut up." Deadpanned Sasuke.

"Of course Sasuke-kun!" gushed the pink-haired one. "You're so wise beyond your years!" She was ignored.

"Besides, you're forgetting that sneaking food into a movie theatre is considered one of the more difficult assignments out there. If we keep doing the hard stuff all the time we'll get promoted in no time. Now move it, at this rate we won't get there before they start showing the trailers."

Back in the movie theatre...

"Like, Trevor, dude where's our chow?" griped Kevin

"Chill, I'm sure it will be here any sec..." Trevor was interrupted by Sasuke and Naruto popping up in front of him. "Woah!"

"Here is your order," whispered Sasuke. "one Combo #2, a Double Ninja Burger, two Onion Death Blossoms, and a large cola."

"That will be $27." Said Naruto.

"Thanks dude, we'll like pay you tomorrow." Said Trevor.

"No, you will pay now." Glared Sasuke.

"But, dudes, we have no money. Can't you like, put it on our tab?" asked Kevin.

"You have no money? That is unfortunate..." The stoners didn't pick up the dangerous edge in Sasuke's voice.

"Ah, yeah dude, it's a total bummer. But we'll give you the money tomorrow."

"I don't think you guys get it." Naruto said. "We mean it's unfortunate that you have to die now."

"WHAT?" yelped the stoners.

"SSSSHHH!" hissed the other movie-goers.

"Sakura, kill!" ordered Sasuke.

Like a hawk descending on its prey, Sakura dropped from the ceiling and decapitated both the young men. "Ugh, I got blood on my uniform. So, what do we do now?" Naruto kicked the bodies out of their seats, and sat down. Sasuke sat down next to him.

"We may as well enjoy the movie, no sense letting two movie tickets go to waste."

"I guess so..." She nodded, then shoved Naruto out of the chair. "But I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun, you can watch from the ceiling." And she glomped onto the hapless Uchiha.

When the movie ended, the trio returned to the restaurant. Sasuke was a little woozy as Sakura had him in a stranglehold through the entire film. Sakura didn't seem to notice. Naruto was also loopy because he'd watched the entire movie upside down. So when Kakashi told them they'd be going to the company picnic, their reactions weren't quite as enthusiastic as they could have been.

That's right, it's time for the annual company picnic. What misadventures await them?
