And here we have another chapter. I had fun doing this one, as you will probably be able to notice.

Sakura: VioletFox127 does not own Naruto, even in her dreams. In those, she keeps almost killing Sasuke.

Sakura, you know my dreams almost never invlove that now. Ah, whatever. I also don't own the videogames that I reference. Well, I own copies...same with the movies I reference.


Karen walked tentatively into Minato's room. He was right where he usually was for this hour: sprawled out on his bed, asleep. Karen walked over to him and said, "Yo, Minato. Wake up." As usual, he didn't wake up. He did however, roll onto his side and put his pillow over his head, mumbling something in his sleep.

"Aw Mom... ngh...I don't wanna go to school...three more hours...starshine fluffy cats..."

Karen sighed. Thankfully, she only had one more day of Wake up Minato duty. She shook him, gently at first, then more vigorously, saying, "Wake up, Minato. What are you, are high school student?" (1)

"Mmmm...evil alarm clocks...darn you, Donkey Kong...argh...shut up, Jack Sparrow...stupid cleaning products..."

"Hm, much as I hate interrupting your obviously interesting dream, I have to wake you up." First, Karen had to remove the pillow covering the former Hokage's head. That wasn't as easy as it sounds, since he had a death grip on it, but she managed to do it after about ten minutes of trying to pry his arm off of it. She had turned the light on when she came in, but he slept too deeply to be woken by that.

"You kidnap that girl, Axel, and I'll kill you. I spent too long on KH1 to want that to happen again in this game," mumbled Minato, actually saying a complete sentence this time. Karen just shook her head. That was why everyone had to take turns waking him up. Every other evening, he played videogames all night until he got too tired to continue, and on the nights he didn't do that, he stayed up till one in the morning on the computer and watching various movies every night. Minato was mumbling again, and Karen stopped to listen. This was one of the weirder thing he'd said while asleep.

"Wild Spongebob appeared...go, Axel...wild Spongebob used Bubblebeam...Axel used Flame Wheel...wild Spongebob fainted...Wild Lugia ate Axel...Gym Leader Darth Vader sent out Luke Skywalker...go, Neaki...Neaki used Blizzard...Luke Skywalker was frozen solid...Neaki used Aurora Beam...Luke Skywalker was thawed...Luke Skywalker turned on Darth Vader...Luke Skywalker knocked out Darth Vader...Defeated Gym Leader Darth Vader...Wild Zazu attacked...go, Simba...wild Zazu used Peck...Simba used Roar of Time...Wild Zazu fainted..."

"And what were we playing watching last night?" Karen muttered to herself. She went into the bathroom, filled up a bucket of water, walked back over to Minato, and dumped the water on his head. It didn't work. Karen was getting very annoyed now.

"Heh...Xion's kinda cute...cinnamon buns...robot cows are taking over the world...Sasuke, stop being an idiot..."

"Alright, that's it!" said Karen. She put down the bucket, and pushed Minato over the side of the bed. She heard a thump and a muffled curse. Minato sat up.

"Geez, what was that for, Karen?"

"Nobody calls Sasuke an idiot."

"I was talking in my sleep again?"

"You almost always do."

"What'd I say this time?"

Karen sighed and began to repeat what Minato had said. "Aw Mom...ngh...I don't wanna go to school...three more hours..." It took her about two minutes to recite as accurately as she could. "You must've been having one heck of a dream. What the heck did you play last night?"

Minato ran a hand through his spikey blonde hair. "Um, let me see...Super Smash Bros., Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Pokemon, and Avalon code. I watched Pirates of the Carribean, an episode of Spongebob, and-" Karen cut him off.

"Star Wars and the Lion King, I know, I heard."

"Okay, good night," said Minato lying back down to sleep.

"No! You can't go back to sleep! It's 11:30 a.m.!"

"11:30? You woke me up even earlier than you usually do, Katie."

"Karen."

"I said Karen."

"No, you said Katie."

"No, I said Karen. You just misheard me."

"My hearing is just fine. You called me Katie."

"Why are we arguing over what I called you this morning?"

"Because you never get my name right!"

"If I never get your name right, what have I been calling you?"

"Sunday you called me Kairi. Monday, you called me Larxene. Tuesday, you called me Neaki. Wednesday, you called me Elizabeth. Thursday, you called me Ashley. This morning, you called me Katie, which as far as I know, is the first time you've called me by a name that doesn't appear in a videogame or a movie, but it may very well be the name of a movie or videogame character."

"Oh...maybe I should take a day off from gaming."

"That's exactly what you'll be doing for the next few days."

"WHAT!?"

"You heard me. Some of the others are going on vacation, and those of us who are staying here have decided that you get to be in charge this year."

"Why can't they just leave Tsunade in charge again?"

"Because we all value our lives. Now, get up,and don't you dare fall asleep, because I will wake you up."

"Yes ma'am. I'll make sure to have some coffee."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For finally getting up."

"Well, I didn't push myself outta bed."

"Well, I've got to go and assure everyone that you aren't dead."

"Have fun."

When Karen left, Minato smirked. "That dream was so worth that argument."

Ah, what a fun chapter.
