Hello! Did you miss me?

I was reading my past chapters after not updating for so long. The whole time I was like, "I'm effin hilarious." (and also, "I'm an idiot for not revising my writing more often).

Just kidding. I probably laughed because my writing has the same weird sense of humor that I do. OH WELL!

Also, my writing style has changed a little. Did I- Did I MATURE? Let's see, 69 jokes, fart jokes, and 'man walks into a bar' jokes I still find funny... Nope, I'm about as mature as I was at the beginning of the fanfiction. OKAY!

This is getting weird, I should stop.

goldenlucario1, thanks for telling me about Pein's OOC- ness! That will be fixed. I enjoy constructive criticism, it'll help shape my story into something great.

To every reader, reviewer, favoriter, whatever -ers are left, I appreciate you staying to read this fanfiction. It makes me happy to see people enjoying my writing. That is, if you are.

Alright, I'll quit the rambling, you guys are probably getting sick of it. Enjoy this chapter!

Team 7 and Princess Luna were walking through Canterlot, looking like a basket of fruit. You had Sasuke and Luna, looking like dark blueberries, Kakashi, looking like the inside of a coconut, Sakura, pink like grapefruit, and Naruto the hyperactive tangerine.

And the fact that PRINCESS LUNA was walking about with foreign ponies who had almost destroyed Ponyville Beach was enough to make the passerby stare.

Even with my guards here, I don't quite feel safe, Luna thought. I possess powerful magic, but I'm not completely sure about these foreign ponies. They almost ruined Ponyville Beach, along with that band of ponies called the Akatsuki.

She glanced at Kakashi. He was watching his team members argue with each other.

He's very mysterious... Like a dark prince. I-

Luna's train of thought stopped in its tracks. She couldn't be attracted to him, he was a foreigner, and technically a CRIMINAL.

Technically... But he's so charming. And intriguing. Hell, I IMPRISONED him. In a nice room, but imprisoned nonetheless. Yet he's being polite, and wished for me to walk with him! What could this mean? Is he possibly attracted to me-

"Are you alright?"

Luna's train of thought almost crashed into a tree.

"...Huh?" She said, most unlady- like.

"You've been silent."

She looked at Kakashi, who had an obsidian eye set on her. His face was unreadable.

"OH! I... ah, yes, I'm fine."

His eye was unsettling her. It was analyzing her, piercing her. She looked away.

"Tell me..." That eye was burning a hole into her head. If she looked in a mirror, she'd probably find her mane on fire.

"What is it like being a princess?"

Luna turned to face him. "What do you mean?" That was dumb.

"What do you do?"

Oh. She groaned inwardly she just HAD to respond with something stupid to him.

"Well, I don't do much 'ruling', per say. Celestia, my sister does that. I have lots of free time, so I read and study in the castle libraries, mostly over the history of Equestria. I also develop spells. Magic is fascinating. I also enjoy seeing ponies work together and befriend each other. It's beautiful, friendship-"

She paused. Great, now she must be boring him with her rambling! Could she be any MORE embarrassed?

"Friendship IS a wonderful thing." He said.

Did she dare face him?

Apparently, she did.

He was staring fondly at his students. They were all walking side by side, talking. She saw the pink one punch the orange one in the muzzle.

Kakashi chuckled. They were bonding.

Luna went pink. How is he so handsome with almost his entire face covered?

"Princess Luna, I believe you were telling me about what you do as princess." He said, looking to her again.

"I wouldn't want to bore you..." She said uneasily.

"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't interested." She could see faint traces of a smile forming under his mask.

Not even Fluttershy could tame the horde of butterflies in Luna's stomach.

I feel like this is Canterlot High all over again, She thought.

"... Well... I also keep watch over the different villages of Equestria..."

"HEY EVERYONE! I BROUGHT CUPCAKES!"

Pinkie pie bounced into the salon, carrying a giant paper bag on her back.

"Oh, that's lovely, Pinkie! I've wanted a sweet treat for a while now! Did you get my favorite?"

"Of COURSE! Vanilla, white frosting, blueberries and purple sprinkles! I brought cupcakes for everyone else too!"

The paper bag glowed sparkly blue, and was levitated off of Pinkie's back.

"Mmmm, these look absolutely DELICIOUS!" Rarity's magic lifted a dozen cupcakes out of the bag, and distributed them to the Akatsuki. She held her own at her muzzle, and took a dainty bite.

"I remember these, hmmm! Tasty as always, right my man?" Deidara chirped.

"They're good..." Sasori mumbled.

"Go on, everypony! Take a bite!" With a maniacal laugh, Pinkie buried her nose into her own cupcake.

"SWEET JASHIN ABOVE! THIS SHIT IS FIT FOR THE GODS!" Hidan yelled, scarfing down his dessert.

Pein's eyes flickered to Konan, remembering the first cupcake they had shared together. He had licked that frosting off her muzzle. And then, they went to sleep next to each other, and-

And then Twilight FOUND US. Yes, that was unpleasant, he thought, frowning.

He gazed at all the members of the Akatsuki.

They looked absolutely RIDICULOUS.

Deidara's blonde mane was tied into a strange side ponytail, and he had a rather flashy emerald scarf tied around his neck.

Sasori, standing next to him, had a big scarf on as well, but his wild red hair had been straightened and combed so much that it covered one of his eyes.

Hidan's usually neat hair had been ruffled into a layered mess, and he had a tie knotted sloppily around his neck. Was Rarity going for the post- boogity woogity look? (If ya know what I mean?)

A navy fedora was perched atop Kakuzu's head, and his long black hair had been tied into a ponytail. It modeled Itachi's mane.

Zetsu's leaf- like extenstions protruding from his shoulders had been lined with tiny pink rhinestones. They looked like small stars surrounding a giant frowning face.

Tobi was wearing the most HIDEOUS saddle. Is he going to collapse from the weight of all that ribbon and lace?! Pein thought.

Kisame's spiky hair was tamed, and it looked like it was... clean! He had a coral necklace hanging loosely on his neck, and wore flowery bracelets.

Itachi was the only exception. Rarity had dressed him in a maroon cloak with small diamonds adorning the edges. He looked like a prince.

Pein looked around, and found a mirror. He gazed into it hesitantly, afraid of what he might see.

His normally shaggy hair had been slicked back, with the exception of a few loose strands. Pein was glad to see that his piercings had not been adorned by disgusting sparkly shit (as Hidan would have probably put it). A light blue tie was fastened around his neck, along with a white collar.

Why hello, gorgeous, He thought, looking at his reflection. Normally, he wouldn't have been so vain, but the new hairstyle and the nice tie had really changed his look! Maybe he could get used to a pampering now and then.

"My darling, you look absolutely WONDERFUL!" Rarity chirped, interrupting Pein's admiring of himself.

He turned around, as did the rest of the Akatsuki. Konan was standing there.

Almost every single Akatsuki member's muzzle gaped open after seeing her.

Konan's flowy blue mane had been curled, and smaller paper flowers were woven into it. Her eyes were as striking as ever, and the dress she was wearing...

The dress was white and sleek, with a violent band of orange cutting through the middle. It had multicolored jewels decorating the bottom, and Konan look DAMN FINE in it.

"Holy... F-F...*ck..." Hidan said weakly.

100% loaded... 80% loaded... 50% loaded... 20% loaded... 5% loaded... SHUTDOWN!

Pein's thought process had just died.

She- I- wha- GAH!

All he could do was stare at her through blank eyes. He looked the same as always, so nobody could tell he was gawking.

Except for Konan.

She shifted nervously, and finally turned to Rarity.

"Thank you. But, what is this all for?"

Rarity giggled. "It's for the comedy party being hosted by Flim and Flam tonight!"

"... Excuse me?"

"Flim and Flam! Two troublesome twins who make TERRIBLE apple juice, but make absolutely HILARIOUS JOKES! NYAHAA!" Pinkie pie chimed in.

"You'll be leaving about-" Rarity was cut off by the sound of nickering at the door.

"NOW!" She ushered the dressed- up Akatsuki out of the salon, and helped them into the carriage that had just arrived.

"Have fun! Make jokes, LAUGH! NYAHA! We'll catch up with you later!" Pinkie Pie shrieked to them.

With that, the carriage soared into the sky, and disappeared in a sparkle of light.
