Log:

[Just over a week since Naruto's announcement to all of Johto and Kanto that his birthday was coming up, the day had finally arrived.

Not too many people were expected to show up (since he did invite EVERYONE) and they'd managed to rent a function room in one of Goldenrod's restaurants for the day. There's plenty of chairs and tables, food, music playing and room to dance if people so wish, you know regular old party stuff.]

[Pre-party]

It's finally his birthday and Naruto will be in an even better mood than usual. Getting up early because ramen for breakfast [!!] and then helping with any preparations for the upcoming party.

[Party]

At the actual party Naruto can be found in good spirits, making sure to try and greet anyone he notices showing up. He's also not in his regular ninja gear or pokemon trainer outfit for once, instead wearing black pants and an...orange....t-shirt.. though he is wearing that cloak Mom made him a while ago over the top. Because it is awesome.]

[blundergirl]

[Well, she did promise to be here, and even if she hadn't she felt like coming would have been a nice gesture. Naruto is Kushina's family and she could guess it would mean a lot to her to have plenty of people come and give him well wishes.

In her hands is one long, rectangular box. Inside of it are four items. There's a hat on top of three different t-shirts. If he was wondering why she asked for his clothing size, now he has his answer. In retrospect she could have just asked Kushina, but she hadn't really thought that far ahead at the time.

She lifts up a hand to wave as she approaches.]

Hey! Happy birthday, Naruto!

[believeit]

Oh, hey! Hehe, thanks!

[He waves back at her, spotting what he assumes is a gift for him in her other hand.]

Did you get me something?

[It's not often she's up early on days she doesn't have to work a morning shift. She had planned to get plenty of sleep so she could have the cake baking that morning, then cool enough for decorating before the party really gets going. But she hadn't slept so well. But she won't let some stupid nightmare get in the way of her son's special day. Not on her life. So before she gets baking, she'll just be getting two large mugs of hot chocolate with that whipped cream stuff just piled on top for her morning pick-me-up. But if Naruto wants one of them, she'll just get another to drink while making his cake. No biggie. She sets them down on the table before going up to Naruto, arms open wide with the biggest, honest smile she can muster for the early hour on her face. Because what does time or any of that matter when you can wish your grown son a happy birthday? Yeah, thought so.]

Happy birthday, Naruto!

[believeit]

[It was early in the morning an he still hadn't woken properly, daydreaming about something so he stumbles back a step once he suddenly has Mom hugs out of nowhere.

It passes a second later though, wrapping arms around here. Hearing her wish him happy birthday brings about the biggest grin he can muster.]

Hehe. Thanks, Mom.

[ghostytrainer]

[As promised, John is definitely there for the party. He greets Naruto with a wave and a light punch to the shoulder (yeah, he probably should give you like fifteen more of these but he's too lazy nice for that), followed by an offering of a small box wrapped in blue. It's a Poliwag coinpurse thing because it's cute and...frogs, yeah? Toads, frogs...Poliwags. Close enough right?]

Happy birthday, dude! Nice cloak, by the way.

[believeit]

Thanks! And yeah, it's so cool. It looks like my Dad's, my Mom made it!

[Opening up the gift, he takes out the froggie wallet.]

Cool! Gama-chan! Hehe, thanks man.

Party of course

[beforethedarkness]

[Sigh. At last, they've wrangled him to travel with them for at least a little bit, if only so that he could go to Naruto's birthday. It's been a long time since he's seen the other face to face, and now Naruto's seventeen... Three years older than him...

It's not until he can corner the blond in a quieter corner of the party before he holds out a box in one hand, silent as he waits for Naruto to just take it. Of course, he knows the idiot is going to like the ramen bowl set that he put into it, but he has to wonder about the black fingerless gloves in there as well...]

[believeit]

[Naruto takes the box with a huge grin, rushing to open it. The ramen bowl gets an even bigger grin, of course, and he even takes a moment to put the gloves on.]

Thanks, Sasuke!

[Sasuke actually came to his party and got him gifts ahhh this is the best]

[usedswift]

Naruto!

[This is great, she's finally able to get together with the rest of everyone, she has all the badges... Today is a good day. She even got Naruto a present, though its still in its box, held behind her back.]

Happy birthday!

[believeit]

Hey, Tenten! You came! Hi!

[Someone is more excited than usual today can you tell.]

somewhat afteeeeer party maybe? B)

[punches]

[ When things start to settle down and Naruto isn't so the center of attention, Sakura finally has the chance to approach him. She's been busy talking with everyone else that it might even seem as if she was neglecting her poor needy teammate today! ]

So was it the best you've had? [ Tentatively asking. ]

Sure! B)

[believeit]

Definitely!! Today has been the best party I ever had, y'know!

[Probably the only party he has ever had but hey who's counting.]

Did you have fun too Sakura-chan?!

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave had arrived with John and co but looked for Naruto after the fact. He's carrying a pokemon egg very carefully. Whenever he finds him, he whistles.] Hey, see I could have gotten you a bunch of tms, but I figured this was better.

This is an Axew. Dragon poke that's a bit hard to find.

(Party)

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow Dash made sure to get here on time to wish the #1 hyperactive ninja a happy birthday, and by that it meant flying in on the back of her Charizard -and then crashing to the ground once her Pokemon landed. She's since recovered from said crash-landing, and is wearing a light blue t-shirt, a blue jacket and red shorts. She'll still be recognizable by her cyan-colored hair, and she's holding onto a gift-wrapped present.)

'Sup, Naruto? This party ranks right up there with other parties I went to, and those were awesome~!

[believeit]

[He saw that arrival, watching in a mixture of awe and surprise and the huge Pokemon that sort of swooped in close by.]

Oh, hey Rainbow Dash! [He grins.] It's been pretty awesome for far!

[ghostpepper]

pre-party:
[It shouldn't be too hard to find her before the party starts. Just as in the case with Sasuke's party, she's taken over a part of the inn's kitchen despite it being her day off, but just so she can make one hell of a cake. The restaurant can make all the other food for everyone, but she's making her son a damn chocolate cake. With strawberries. And if your name is Sasuke and you don't like sweets... Well, she remembered last time and got to making rice balls while the cake was cooling. Can't go punching her son's friends at this party too. So feel free to drop in on her at the inn if you happen to be looking for her for some reason...]

party time:
[Or maybe you'd prefer to just run into her randomly at the party. That's cool too. She's probably spending half the party being an Embarrassing Parent^TM by taking all the pictures and smothering Naruto with affection or some shit like that. 8Db]

After the party

[beforethedarkness]

[That name... He'd heard it a few times now. The name Mikoto haunts him throughout the party, and all of it originates from one woman; Kushina Uzumaki.

There is a point where Sasuke's eye meets Kushina's, and although it's with some reluctance he tries to beckon her to a quieter area - another room, preferably, as everyone prepares to end the festivities for the evening. The curiosity to ask is there, almost getting to the point where the want to know transitions to a need. He had to know if the Mikoto she keeps mentioning is the one he's thinking of.]

partaaaay

[ghostytrainer]

[It's no surprise that John arrived at the party in the company of his best friends, but he's hardly the sort of person to just stay glued to their sides during a party.]

[So feel free to bug him, he'll just be hanging around with a shiny Whimsicott on his shoulder, the two of them sampling the food or looking for someone to chat with.]

[usedswift]

John!

[If there was someone she wasn't expecting to see at all, it was John because wow when's the last time they were in the same city, wow. So she has to run over, tapping his shoulder and giving him a grin.]

John, John, look at this!

[She's got a case in her hands, guess what it is???]

[punches]

[ Hey look, it's the guy who gave Naruto troublesome Pokemon. Maybe she ought to chew him out face-to-face? ]

Oh, you two match! [ Sometimes her greetings can be so simple. ]

[beforethedarkness]

[Lately, he had been in a foul mood. The cause, more than likely, is the recent loss at the fighting tournament -- especially since he lost in the first round. Being so far behind in his badge collection isn't exactly where he wants to be, either. But the worst part has to be getting dragged -- literally dragged -- to the birthday party being held for Naruto.

That doesn't mean he has to socialize and make nice, however. He's at the refreshment table, picking up a rice ball to nibble on and avoiding everyone's eye otherwise. This is worse than his own party was... But, chances are, he's not going to be lucky enough to just get left alone, is he?]

[usedswift]

[Oh. It's you. Did you pull that massive bug out of your butt yet, kind-of-boyfriend? It might be a little obvious the casual observer that things are a little chilly between them since the end of the tournament, but after avoiding him for the better part of the party just to see if maybe he'd come to her first, she finally heads over as if she were just going to grab something from the table.]

You should try to smile more, [she remarks without looking at him.] It's a party, after all.

[punches]

[ At least this time he's free of kitty ears. ]

Sasuke-kun, are you all right? [ He seems BROODIER than normal. ]

[Dave is being Dave. Once he's broken away from John and Rose, he's just watching things and hanging out with his Leafeon perched on his shoulders.

Feel free to bug him, he's not doing much. Parties aren't really his thing unless he's djing for it.]
