-Saya-
I looked around the club that Deidara and them had found to host the party in. It was pretty cool. Deidei had said it was suppose to be a night club, but they had somehow talked the manager into loaning it to us for the night. In the two days we had to prepare for the party tonight everyone else had managed to do what they needed except for me and Gaara. We hadn't been able to find a band able to play tonight and it was really putting a damper on my spirits.
"Is this fine Saya?"
I looked up at Sakura's question to see her and TenTen hanging the last of the streamers.
"No. You should do the streamers in a braided fashion."
I said and they looked at me confused. I shook my head at them before hopping down from the stool I'd been sitting on and walked over to them. I took the orange, black, and lilac colored streamers from them and after stapling one end to one wooden beam of the club, walked over to the other side and stapled the orange streamer. Then I went back to the first beam and started to wrap the black streamer around the orange one, then did the same with the lilac one, making a crisscross pattern.
"Oh, that looks a lot better than what we were gonna do."
TenTen said when I finished.
"Do the same to the rest of the place, then when you finish with that help Neji and them bring the food in and set it up."
I said and they nodded before moving to do as I said. Temari and Shikamaru came into the room carrying a table, followed by Itachi and Deidara, then Sasuke and Gaara. I leaned against the bar and watched as they maneuvered the tables into the big double doors of the club.
"Saya, where do you want the tables, yeah?"
Deidei asked and I frowned as I thought about where the best place to put them would be.
"Itachi, you and Deidei can put yours down against that wall."
I said pointing to the far left wall. They both nodded and moved over to do as I said.
"Shika, you and Temari can put yours against that one."
I said pointing to the far right wall, they did the same as Itachi and Deidei.
"And Sasuke."
I said and he looked at me, waiting for me to tell him and Gaara what to do.
"You two can set your table down between those two to make a box-like shape."
I said and they both nodded before moving to do as I said.
"Sakura! Do you think you can find something to cover these tables with?"
I asked looking up at her to see her and TenTen finishing up with the last of the streamers.
"I'm sure I can find something to do the job."
She said and I smiled at her.
"Thanks."
I said and she left to go do that.
"Saya!"
I turned at the sound of my name to see Neji having issues carrying all the food items. Like an idiot, he was trying to carry the bags of chips, the jars of dip, the plate of veggies, and the bowl the chips went in all at once. He tripped over his own feet, but regained his balance. He caught most of it, but the jars of dip and the ceramic bowl the chips went in.
"Shit."
I cursed before diving for them. I collided with the ground and grit my teeth as I slid along the concrete floor, but I caught the jar of dip and the bowl.
"Holy shit, Saya are you alright!?"
I heard Temari yell and I opened my eyes to see her and the others had run over to me. I sat up and groaned at the throbbing in my back.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
I said as I got to my feet with the help of Shikamaru.
"Neji you dolt!"
TenTen snapped at him and he looked down at his feet.
"It's fine TenTen, nothing's broken and I'm not bleeding. Bruised maybe, but nothing I can't handle."
I said and she looked at me and looked as if she wanted to argue, but let it drop.
"Come on Neji, we still need to set everything up."
I said and he lifted his head to look at me and I flashed him a small smile when I saw the guilty look in his eyes. After a while he smiled in return and followed me over to the tables that Sakura had covered with black, orange, and lilac colored table cloths.
"Okay. The pizzas can go on the black table along with the sodas when we buy them. The veggies, and plates, napkins, and such can go on the orange table. And the chips, dip, and candy can go on the lilac table."
I said and he nodded before moving the stuff to where I said. He set out the plastic plates, the colored napkins, and plastic cups next to the veggie plate. I set the chip bowl down on the lilac table and opened the bags of chips and started to pour them in. Then I opened the jars of dip and emptied them into smaller bowls for people to spoon out when they wanted it.
"Hey, Shika, did you and Temari get the candy?"
I asked and he nodded as Temari came in carrying a big bag of candy. I smiled as her and Shikamaru poured it into a bowl and set it down next to the chip bowl.
"Alright. The pizzas should be delivered here in the next hour, Itachi, when they get here I'll leave them to you."
I said and he nodded.
"Star and Sheera should be here any minute with the sodas and ice."
I said, checking things off on the list in my mind. I felt like I was missing something, but I couldn't think of what.
"Hinata still has Naruto at the house right?"
I asked and everyone nodded at me.
"What am I forgetting?"
I asked myself as I sat down on the stool again.
"The entertainment."
Sasuke said and I groaned.
"Shit, I'd forgotten about that."
I said and ran a hand through my hair.
"Did you manage to find anyone?"
Sakura asked as she and Temari sat on the stools next to me.
"No. Everyone was either booked or just didn't want to preform for some random kid's birthday party."
I said and they frowned at that.
"What are we going to do? We have everything except the entertainment."
I said and we all fell into a thoughtful silence until Star and Sheera came in trying to carry all the sodas.
"Um...a lil help would be appreciated."
Sheera said and Deidei and Itachi ran over to them and took most of the sodas from them and set them on the table I'd said they'd go. Sheera and Star thanked them and looked at me.
"What's wrong sis?"
Star asked as they walked up to me.
"I wasn't able to get the entertainment. I knew I should have let one of you guys plan this, I suck at things like this."
I said as I leaned forward on the bar.
"What are you talking about? You're doing an amazing job. You're telling us what to do and how to do it so that things turn out amazing. And how you managed to catch the things Neji dropped so they wouldn't break."
Sakura said and I scoffed at her.
"I just didn't want to have to clean up broken glass."
I said and heard her sigh.
"She's right though Saya. You have this whole thing envisioned in your mind and you're making it a reality. So what if you couldn't find an actual band, just think of an alternative."
Temari said and I sighed, but did as she said.
Everyone got real quiet as I tried to think of something to do, when I suddenly got an idea. I whirled around in the stool to face my sisters.
"I know what we can do!"
I shouted with a smile and everyone looked at me for an explanation.
"Well?"
Sasuke asked and I looked up at him and smiled wider before looking back at my sisters.
"You remember the time we were nine and our parents entered me into that talent show for the young and talented?"
I asked and they both nodded.
"You remember how I refused to perform unless you and Star performed with me?"
I asked and I saw understanding dawn in their eyes.
"You really think that'll work?"
Sheera asked and I nodded.
"Absolutely. I mean, why pay for a band that will play things we don't really care about when we can do it ourselves and make it epic?"
I asked and they both smiled at me.
"Will someone explain to the rest of us what's going on?"
TenTen asked and I looked up at her.
"Sorry, but you'll have to wait just like Naruto. It's a surprise."
I said with a smile and she frowned at me.
"Alright!"
I said as I hopped down off the stool.
"It's almost seven. Go home, and get ready. Be here by six forty-five and get in your positions. I'll get Hinata and Naruto and text you when we're on our way."
I said as I grabbed Sheera and Star by the arms and headed for the door.
"Wait, Saya!"
I heard Sakura call after me, but ignored her.
"Six forty-five!"
I shouted over my shoulder as I dragged my sisters out the door.
