sunday...was boring for our pineapple head. He was busy doing house chores and going on errands with his mom, it was pretty boring. He stood by the shopping cart with his mom going down the aisles of the Wal Mart. It had been an hour and they were still shopping around, he grouned and checked the time on his phone. He wanted to go home and sleep!

"Honey, did I get the bread?"

"Yes, mom."

"Ok, Are we missing anything?"

"No."

"Well alright, lets go and pay for the stuff."

He thanked god and followed his mom to the checkout line. They waited in line and quickly paid for their items and walked out of the store, cramming the groceries in the trunk of the car. When they finally got home he helped put away the food, them made his way to his room.

"Shika! You better not fall asleep! We'er going over to Minato's for the sunday cook out in about two hours, and you better be ready!" Yoshino shouted from the kitchen.

"Alright ma!" He yelled back and slammed his bedroom door behind him.

He checked the time on his phone again, it was barely four. He sauntered over to his closet and bagan looking through his clothes, he had to wear something other than his spongebob pj's at the cook out. He settled for a black t-shirt with a his white cardigan, jeans, and black sandels. He quickly changed out of his pj's and put on the outfit. He looked himself in the mirror and nodded, he plopped onto his bed and pulled out his phone and earphones, he plugged them in and clicked on to his music. He clicked on his favorite playlist labeled 'sleepy time' and let the slow smooth music flow in his ears. He sighed in pleasure and laid back on his bed. He nodded his head to the music and silently sang the lyrics, a couple of songs later his eyes were slowly closing and his breathing evened out as h let sleep claim him. One hand behind his head and one hand on his chest where he clutched his phone. An hour passed and he was still asleep, his phone still playing the soft music. But his pease was disturbed when his phone rang, making the young Nara jump at the loud ringtone buszzing in his ears. He quickly unplugged hus earphones and looked at the number, he quickly pressed the answer button.

"What, Neji?" He growled.

He heard a chuckle from the other end.

"Im guessing you were in the middle of your beauty sleep?" He said cooly.

"Shut up!" Shikamaru said.

Another chuckle was heard.

"I'm sorry, love. I just wanted to call and know what you were up to." Neji said lovingly.

"Nothing, I was just sleepin, but i was rudely interrupted." Shika said.

"I see. Would you like to come over to my house?" Neji asked hopefully.

"Sorry, I can't."

"Why?"

"I'm going over to Naruto's hous in a little while, for a family cook out."

"Oh."

"Yeah, maybe I could go over some other time." Shika said tiredly rubbing at his eyes.

Neji sighed.

"I suppose."

"Kay."

"I guess I'll call you later then."

"You better."

"I love you."

"I love you too, stalker."

"Bye."

"Bye."

~later at Naru's house!~

Naruto added the final ingredients to the potato salad and mixed it together while humming along to the radio, It was Gonna be six soon, and everybody would be arriving in a little bit. He smiled at the thought of seeing his friends, he saw then everyday at school but he loved having their 'family cook outs' it was a tradition of theirs. It followed back to when all of their parent's were younger, they were all close friends and grew up with each other, bonding and becoming a family. As time passed and they got older they all grew closer, keeping in touch with each other even though they separated out of high school. A few years later they all moved back to their hometown and started their lives with their loved one's, soon enough they all got together again and had a small cook out on a fine sunday, they all laughed and chatted for hours just enjoying their time together, and when it ended they all made a promise to keep having small cook out's every other sunday. And it has been going on ever sense. Naruto finished with the potato salad and brought it out to the deck and set it on a table. He smiled at his dad who was grilling some meat.

"Finished?" Minato asked his son.

"Yep!" Naruto said.

"Awesome, how about you take out the tea from the fridge and get the glasses."

Naruto nodded and went back inside to get the pitvher of ice tea and cups. After that he sat down on a chair and watched his dad grill.

"Smells really good dad! I don't know if i can wait until everyone gets here." Naruto said.

Minao smiled and chuckled.

"Everyone will be here in a few minute's, you can wait."

"Aww!" Naruto whined playfully.

The door bell rang getting both blondes attention, Naruto quickly got up from his chai and ran inside to answer the door. He opened it and smiled when he saw Lee and his uncle Gai standing there, they were always the first to arrive. Naruto immediatly glomped Lee and greeted Gai, and lead them to the deck.

"Gai!" Minato said warmly.

"MINATO! My youthful friend and brother! How are you?" Gai said giving the older blonde a manly hug.

Minato laughed and patted the other's back.

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm terrific!"

"That's good."

The two men continued talking while Lee and naruto went inside the house and talked in the kitchen.

"So what did you guys bring?" Naruto asked looking and the large bowl lee put on the counter.

"Dad made a vegetable salad." Lee said.

Naruto made a face and looked at him.

"Your dad always has to bring the healthy stuff." Naruto said teasingly.

Lee laughed.

"Yeah."

Ten minutes later the door bell rang again signaling that the ithers have arrived, Naruto let them all in and smiled widely and greeted them. Kiba had tackled the young blonde and ruffled his already wild locks, Naruto laughed and tried to scape from Kiba's hold. Once that was done Shikamaru punched Naru's arm playfully. They all headed to the deck and sat down at the table, while the grown ups all greeted each other. Minutes later everyone was seated eating and talking. Once Naruto and the other's were done they got up from the table and went to go in the house and chill in the kitchen so the grown ups could chat.

"I'ev missed this." Gai said.

Minato nodded.

"So have I, it's been a long week." Minato said.

"You can say that again." Shikaku said.

"I'm just glad to be here, I've missed yall so much. Plus I love seeing our kids together, it brings back memories." Tsume said glancing to the kids in the kitchen.

The others made sounds of agreement.

"My how they've grown." Yoshino said.

They all glanced into the kitchen and eyed the young teens, and had to admit, their kids had indeed grown up to fine young men.

"It seems like it was just yesterday that they were all running around in diapers, and eating dirt." Tsume said lovingly.

"Pfft! Remember when they all drank the bottle of hot sauce?" Yoshino laughed.

"Yeah! Haha, their faces were as red as tomato's!" Tsume said giggling.

"Poor babies got pretty bad stomache aches though." Yoshino said smiling.

They all laughed and continued their conversations, talking about their kids most memorable moments. It felt so good to be around family.
