Chapter 1: Pay It Up ><span>

* * *

><p>Naruto Namikaze is the son of both Minato Namikaze and KushinaUzumaki, who in turn married Minato. After the wedding sheimmediately changed her last name becoming Kushina Namikazeherself.<p>

Naruto is living a joyful life, he has the love of a caring family,he makes friends easily, and he is also a very attractive person whodoesn't have any problems with finding romantic interests. The thingabout Naruto is that his family is famous. Surely that is a verypositive thing for the next heir to the Namikaze Estate, but itisn't.

The Namikazes were the descendants of the man who co-founded the

company Apple itself, and who are one of the most popular people onthe planet. And this all started when Minato's father Meko Namikazeand his partner created the company Apple, and have entrusted Minatoto the company after Meko passed away. It was a logical decisionsince Minato was the next heir to the company anyways.

After that has happened both Minato and Kushina have been cooperatingon making new technology for the future generations, such as thelatest edition of the iPhone, or the iPad or any other tech relatedsocial media accessed device.

The company had enlarged income through the many devices they createdsoon turning a wealthy family into billionaires. After the familybecame disbelievingly wealthy they received assistance from othercompanies, therefor moving to different places around the globe. Butafter years of moving they finally found a place they could stay at,Chicago, Illinois. Of course being a rich family, they lived inprobably the richest mansion the state could offer.

That certain mansion was constructed by the Namikazes themselves.Since they had superior intellect compared to the average person theyhad to correct the mistakes of the construction workers. And Narutowas becoming of someone who could be a prodigy in the making. Whatwith all of the tutors he received over the years. Naruto was taughtnot only the advanced lessons of Science, Mathematics, Literature,Multi-Cultural Language, Health, PE, Music, Art, Physics Etc.Literally, they made sure Naruto was taught _everything_ at theirdisposal.

Which made Naruto possibly the most brilliant kid in his grade.Surely they could have at least placed Naruto into college early, butNaruto didn't want that. He wanted to interact with people his age.And the people his age are 13 years young. Because Naruto wanted totry his chance at a normal life, after living years in front of thepaparazzi he became tired of the constant invasion of his privacy.And he desired to get away from all of that.

Because people always befriended him for money, asked him out due tohis expenses, wanted to loan money off of him when all he wanted wasa chance to be himself and make friends. He wanted people to noticehim not for what his family members have done but for what he hasbeen trying to achieve all of these years. To become famous due tohis musical skills. He could sing, he could dance, and he hasexperimented with freestyle rapping. Hell, he could a terrific songwhen he puts his mind to it!

His family understood his situation and that's one of the reasons whythey were so close with the young Namikaze. So Minato and Kushinasigned documents to change his last name to Uzumaki, since theywanted their son to achieve his dreams and become something specialfor his talents, and his talents alone. That is why Naruto is goingto try his hand at looking for any opportunities he could find.

This was his moment to shine, he has been dancing ever since he couldwalk, and he has been doing everything else ever since he couldunderstand syllables. And this was one of those times when all of hishard work would pay off.

Naruto was walking toward the Subway Station that was near the streethe lived on. It has been a month since he moved to Chicago and he has

always used this place to think. Ultimately, he was surrounded byregular people doing.. Regular things. He almost felt uneasy by this,here he is the heir to a _billionaire_ company standing among thecrowd conspicuously with them continuing on with their day none thewiser.

It helped calm his nerves about confronting people normally, it was asort of meditation that his personal Guru taught him. To attack yourproblems head on with the proper planning so that you could ease yournerves without difficulty. Kind of like public speaking, after allyou have to actually have experience with writing speeches that youcan project toward the public.

And Naruto was about to preach to the choir.

><p>Naruto is currently dressed in a long sleeved orange shirt, withblack khaki joggers and black and orange sneakers, with a pair of thelatest wireless beats. He manufactured these these wirelessheadphones himself, he called it the Beats Studio "Over-Ear Headphone- Orange, Orange One Size". It was of course colored orange andblack. He wore these around his neck when he wasn't listening toanything. Which he wasn't at the moment.<p>

Naruto also had a hand in manufacturing the iPhone 6S Plus, which iswhy he made his own orange and onyx black. What could he say? He isabsolutely infatuated with the color orange. Because it was so brightand warm to look at, which clearly defined Naruto'spersonality.

Naruto also wore the black Apple Watch his dad created on his leftwrist, while Naruto also sported on his right an orange "I love Ramenbracelet". So he looked pretty normal, although he did have a fewexpensive accessories that people don't usually notice. Which was agood thing. Because Naruto desired to be somebody who could befriendpeople with his own personality and apparent 'Namikaze FamilyCharm'.

What? It's what Minato said they all had!

Naruto soon entered the train station and saw a train pass by. Narutohimself went over to a wall and leaned on it, folding his arms in theprocess while trying not to look suspicious. It must have beenworking since he hasn't been approached by any fan-girlsyet.

Shudder, they were so ruthless in Japan.. They would literally clawtheir way into the blonde's life.

That was pretty scary. Now after some time has passed Naruto startedto place on his wireless headphones until he saw two females his agestep toward the middle of the train station. He placed his headphonesback around his neck to watch the upcoming spectacle. One girl hadwhite skin, with orange colored hair and a petite figure. She was onthe short side most likely being a few inches shorter than Narutohimself.

Although her companion was a few inches taller with, brown hair andblack skin. It was safe to say Naruto Uzumaki was attracted, trying

to figure out what they were both doing. Soon, the redhead spoke outto the crowd.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen!" It was a cheerful greeting thatNaruto certainly chuckled at. Promptly after the redhead was finishedthe brunette spoke next.

"We're here for your commuting entertainment!" The second girlannounced surprising Naruto, what kind of entertainment were theytalking about? Were they going to sing? Or were they going to dance?Either way that peaked Naruto's interest a bit. The redhead presentlytook off her fedora, handing it to the nearest person.

"If you like us please give us a dollar, if you don't like us.. Ohwho am I kidding? You're going to love us!" She says gleefullyskipping to her companion's side, who in turn set up an iPod near asign that said "TIPS" .

"Hit it Rocky." The redhead requested receiving a wide smile from herfriend. Rocky immediately pressed the button on her iPod and themusic commenced playing. It was an upbeat song that got the crowd tonod their head to the rhythm. Naruto couldn't help it either as healso enjoyed the beat of the music. The blonde quickly started payingattention to the dancing duo.

As they continued to move to the beat, which was not shabby at all,Naruto saw a lady give the hat to him. Naruto contemplated on howmuch he should give them. He had well over a few thousand dollars inhis green toad wallet Gama. But he couldn't figure out how muchshould be given to the girls. So he placed about $300 dollars intothe hat.

Since he was the last person to receive the hat he kept it untiltheir performance was over. And it wasn't too long until the duo hada well ended spinning maneuver that made Naruto smirk. They werepretty good. Afterwards Rocky immediately stopped the track while herfriend looked for the one with her fedora.

Naruto waved her over with a bright grin, causing the redhead tosmile softly also. The girl approached the blonde who complimentedher on her performance.

"I enjoyed the dance, you guys are really talented." Naruto grinnedmaking the redhead blush from his words.

"Thank you so much! But I'm telling you, you haven't seen anythingyet." She smirked grasping her hat from the blonde who gave a softchuckle.

"I bet I haven't." Naruto replied glancing at his fellow dancer asshe left.

She approached Rocky who looked at her with worried eyes.

"Cece, how much money did we get?" Rocky asked as Cece widened hereyes in surprise.

"A whole lot! Holy cow that's a _lot_ of moola!" She gasps looking atthe influx of money. Rocky also widened her eyes as she counted outthe amount of cash.

"We have 300 dollars! We can definitely buy phones with this kind ofmoney!" Rocky cheered which made Cece squeal in delight. Not longafter celebrating Cece approached the crowd with a haughty air abouther.

"Thank you all for the cash! I know we were good.. Who am I kidding?We knew we were great, so I thank you for enjoying the show!" Cecesaid brightly as the crowd looked at her like she was crazy. Becausethey all knew they didn't even input a penny into that hat. WhileNaruto only chuckled at her words. She does have confidence he couldgive her that.

And he could only chuckle more seeing them fawn over a few hundreddollars. While Naruto himself had at least a million in his bankaccount. Still, it was satisfying to someone be happy like that. Andthey were both quite attractive.. If this was the moment to be slyand smooth then Naruto already knew he had perfect timing.

He approached the two 13 year olds and grinned making them smilealso, although one shyer than the other. In this case Rocky being theshy one.

"Hi! I do have to say you both danced magnificently!" He complimentsmaking them both blush.

"Thank you.." Rocky spoke shyly while Cece smiled softly.

"Why, thank you.." The redhead trailed off making Naruto becomesheepish.

"Oh, where are my manners. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and you both are?" Heasks as Cece was the first to answer.

"Well, I am Cece Jones. And this is Rocky Blue!" She smiles as Rockytried to hide behind her. She was sort of nervous around Naruto. Heis such an attractive looking person and it unnerved her. While, Cecethought she found the treasure chest at the end of therainbow!

"Nice to meet you, I was wondering something, if you both are suchgood dancers I was hoping you could take me on as your protege."Naruto requested surprising the duo. Even though Naruto completelyperfected his technique and move set, he saw this as an opportunityto make friends. And they both are pretty good, so when he sees themdance they could potentially give Naruto more dance moves. It was awin, win.

"You want us to teach you? I mean we're good but-" Rocky was soonsilenced by the hand of Cece. This guy was a cute boy, there was noway Rocky's insecurity was going to stop Cece from talking tohim!

"What she was saying is that we are pretty amazing, and that we wouldgladly teach you." Cece smiled letting go of Rocky's face. Narutosimply grinned, this was going to be fun.

"So, what's your address? I would hope to get started soon. Tomorrowperhaps? It is the weekend you know." Naruto grinned rubbing his headsheepishly. He didn't want to appear too eager, so he had to take

precautions. But it didn't seem like they noticed his eagerness.Although Cece smiled and took out a notepad along with a pencil thatwas in her pocket. She even wrote down the address and theschedule.

"We'll see you there at 3:00 PM alright?" Cece smiled looking intohis adorable blue eyes. Naruto returned the smile with his own grinas he nodded.

"Yeah, I can't wait." Naruto beamed while walking away hands in hispockets and all.

"Tootles!" Cece waved as Naruto held up a peace sign, right before heheaded home. Meanwhile Rocky exhaled a breath she didn't know she washolding in.

She looked so awkward in front of him! But he was so handsome.. Ugh,curse her shyness! She looked over toward Cece who didn't freeze upon sight. And she noticed she had a dazed look on her face. Darn it,how come she didn't have the confidence to talk to boys like she did?How spectacular..

Cece noticed that Rocky froze up during her conversation with Naruto,she hasn't seen Rocky look like that in a very long time and itworried the red head.

"Rocky what happened? Are you okay?" Cece asked placing her hand ontothe taller girl's shoulder to which Rocky sighed.

"No, I am not. I completely froze in front of him! Now he's going tothink I'm weird or something!" Rocky sighed blaming her insecurities.Cece could only hug the taller girl in comfort.

"It's okay Rocky, don't worry you'll get over your insecurities. Ipromise." Cece swears pulling away and giving an assuring smile towhich the darker skinned girl returned.

"Thank you Cece." She replies gratefully before they headed backhome.

><p>Minato Namikaze was currently reading the daily newspaper on hisfavorite sofa, while his wife Kushina went over the schematics forthe next Apple Device. Minato kept reading until he heard the dooropen, and he looked up to see his son return from his dailystroll.<p>

"Hey dad!" He greeted taking off his shoes and walking up the stairs.Minato smiled softly toward his son, always so bright and warm withhis attitude.

"Good afternoon Naruto, how was your stroll?" He asked as Narutochuckled.

"It was amusing." Naruto answered simply getting a raise of theeyebrows from his father.

"Oh? How so?" Naruto sat on the couch before answering, he wanted toat least get comfortable.

"Well there were these two girls-"

"Did somebody say girls?!" Kushina bursts out from the room with awide grin surprising the duo.

"Yes Kushina, it seems Naruto here met a couple of ladies." Minatosmiled as Kushina grinned deviously.

"Oh, so you have a girlfriend?" She asked teasingly getting Naruto toblush and for the other blonde to chuckle.

"No mom, I just met them. They were performing a dance at the subwaystation. They were really good and I requested them to tutor me."Naruto answered as both parents raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"But you mastered your moves several years ago. I don't think anyonecan teach you anything more Naruto." Minato interjected getting ashake of the head from the younger blonde.

"There are still things I could learn dad. Right mom?" He askedreceiving a sweet smile from the cardinal haired woman.

"Yeah, you still have your whole life ahead of you, which means thereare still things out there that you have yet to study under, speakingof studying? When are you leaving for your tutoring?" She asked asNaruto grinned.

"Tomorrow at three."

"Oh! Do you want me to make snacks for your two lady friends?"

"No mom, it won't be necessary."

"I don't know Naruto, it could be a way to impress them."

"Oh come on dad.."

"He's right you know! Therefor I'll give you ham, crackers, andcheese for tomorrow!" Kushina declares marching into the kitchen toget started. Minato could only sweat drop while Naruto sighed. Hismother was as stubborn as ever..

"Well, I'm going to head to the courtyard, I'm almost late for myworkout session with Kakashi-sensei. I'll be gone for a few hours."Naruto says giving his father a wave before exiting.

"Don't strain yourself too much son. I know how you are." Minatosmirked turning the newspaper over.

"Okay dad. I promise I won't." Naruto says heading outside.

><p>"398, 399, 400. Good job Naruto. I believe that's the largestamount of push-ups you have done." A silver haired man with a facemask complimented while sitting on a bench with an orange book in hishand. Naruto breathed out deeply as he tried to recuperate from theintense work out.<p>

He and his teacher Kakashi stayed out for at least 4 hours, andNaruto worked up a sweat. He has been taught to be in prime physicalconditioning for his multiple classes of Martial Arts, but also sinceit's a necessity to prolong life.

Naruto Uzumaki was one who enjoyed the very essence of being alive,so he would want to live for as long as he could.

"Thanks Kakashi-sensei. That was a great workout regime, I'm gratefulfor your advice and teachings." Naruto grins as Kakashi eye smiledback.

"Well, we are friends after all. Although I'm afraid that my timehere is done. Same time and place tomorrow?" He asks standing up fromthe bench he was sitting on. Naruto nodded, he would prefer to restup before getting back into the heat of things once again.

"Sure thing, see you Kakashi-sensei." Naruto bids goodbye as he gavethe tall silver haired man a wave.

"See you next time Naruto." Kakashi replies while walking away, nowNaruto had to take a shower to freshen up for bed. He is absolutelyexhausted and he did not feel like sleeping in his raunchy gymclothes.

* * *

><p>"Here are your snacks!" The exuberant voice of Kushina rang outas Naruto grinned. It turns out she placed all of the ham, cheese,and crackers in a picnic basket. Wonderful, it meant it was easy tocarry. Although, Naruto was more athletic than the average 13 yearold, so carrying a picnic basket full of snacks is no biggie for him.Since he was so athletic he was going to show it over at Cece's,since he wanted to impress her.<p>

And one way to do that was by appearing physically attractive, butthat's just the first impression. During this dance lesson he'll seewhat her personality was like. And maybe he could befriendher.

"Thanks mom! I appreciate it." He grins receiving a surprising hugfrom the scarlet headed woman.

"No problem! I want my son to look great for his wife to be.." Shesaid in a sing song voice tone to which Naruto blushed under.

"We're just acquaintances! She's just helping me with my dancingtechnique!" Naruto explained nervously, to which she chuckledat.

"Oh please Naruto. We all know you're the best dancer in Illinois.You don't need help with dancing techniques! But I'm sure this 'Cece'could help you out with plenty of _other.. Techniques_." She slylyteased toward the young blonde. Unluckily Naruto knew what she meant,being the godson of the Legendary Pervert Jiraiya could do that to aperson. It was a miracle he didn't catch on to the white haired man'stendencies..

"Mom!"

"What I'm just saying! I want me some grand babies!"

"Mom.. Stop!"

"Hehe, you're so adorable my little Naruto. Now go, otherwise you'regoing to be late for your afternoon with her." Kushina smirks asNaruto nodded with a face as red as her hair.

"Yeah you're right. I'll see you in a few hours!"

"Don't have too much fun."

"Mom.."

"Haha, bye Naruto.

"Bye mom I love you."

"I love you too. Now go and get me some grand babies!"

"MOM!" On that note Naruto left the mansion with an embarrassed mindwhile Kushina giggled sweetly. She wanted some grandchildren!

* * *

><p>It was almost three and one Cece Jones was absolutely excited,and impatient. She desired for the clock to speed up and hit that oddnumber. Which is funny since she didn't care about numbers before.But when the clock reaches three she could finally see thatattractive hunk Naruto Uzumaki.<p>

What an odd name, but it rung nicely and she liked that. She waspacing back and forth in the living room, she was so anxious! A hotguy was coming over and she didn't know if she looked good enough.What if he sees her and he turns away if she was ugly?! Oh thehorror! No, it wasn't time to think like that. She is a confident,fun teenager. He'll love her!

That's when her little brother Flynn came into the living room.

"You know if you pace around like that a little more I'm sure you'regoing to lose most of your hair." He says sitting on the couch muchto Cece's annoyance.

"What are you doing Flynn? You know I have a dance lesson in lessthan ten minutes." Cece grimaces as Flynn shrugs.

"I want to see how you're going to teach this guy. I mean you're notdoing well academically in school so what chance that you'll be agood dance teacher?" He asks as Cece sneered from the not so subtlejab at her education.

"Flynn just go to your room. I need to be alone to teach this guy,and you're just going to be a distraction."

"Fine.. But I want you to cook me some bacon when you're done." Flynndemands folding his arms making his older sister sigh.

"Alright, you'll get your stupid bacon. Now can you pleasego?"

"Good luck." Flynn exasperated knowing full well that if she wasgoing to teach somebody that she wasn't going to be particularly goodat it. Cece smiled to herself. Now that all distractions are out ofthe way she could finally get down to business.

That's when she heard a knock at the door. She grinned and skippedtoward the door.

"I'LL GET IT MOM!" She yells while turning the door knob. She opensthe door and is surprised by the presence of the physicallyattractive _God_ before her.

Naruto Uzumaki was currently dressed in a black leather jacket withthe sleeves rolled up to his elbows, an orange shirt, with his blackApple Watch on his left wrist and his I love Ramen bracelet on hisright wrist. He also had on black chinos joggers with black andorange Vans shoes.

Cece really adored what she was looking at. He just looked so _good_,so good she could drool at the sight of him!

"Pleasure to see you again Cece. I do have to admit you look gorgeoustoday." Naruto grinned showing his bright white teeth. And he meantit, she is a beautiful young girl who had a nice taste in clothing.With how colorful and bright they were. It brilliantly matched herwonderful demeanor and Naruto liked it.

Cece blushed from the compliment. To think that this guy who lookedlike a world class model said she looked gorgeous was astonishing!But not to be outdone she replied with equal approval.

"You don't look so bad yourself. Your clothes suit you." She saysfluttering her eyelashes. Naruto smirked from the compliment, she isan obvious flirt when she saw what she wanted. Naruto could deal withthat. But he noticed that her friend Rocky wasn't present, and hethought he was going to be taught by the both of them. And he wassort of saddened that Rocky wasn't there.

Because the more the merrier, and the merrier, the more friends hecould make. By just being himself for once.

"So.. May I come in?" Naruto chuckled as Cece mentally bopped herselfon the head. She opened the door widely and giggledsheepishly.

"Sure! Make yourself comfortable!" She smiles as Naruto noddedwalking inside. He was quickly awed by the furniture in the place. Itwas so regular and normal. It was certainly a comfortable kind ofcolorful place. Naruto was impressed. He's barely been to a normalhousehold before.

"I like the place, the furniture is a nice touch." Naruto mentionedmaking Cece smile.

"Thank you."

"So, where's Rocky? I thought you both were going to instructme."

"Oh, Rocky was invited to her cousin's birthday party so she couldn'tmake it. So you're just going to be taught by me." She smilesinnocently fluttering her eyelashes which appealed to the blondegreatly.

"I wouldn't mind that at all actually. You do have magnificent skill.And I would be stupid not to take your advice on this dancing thing."Naruto grinned making her blush once more. That's when she finallynoticed the picnic basket that he was holding.

"Oh, I just noticed that you have a basket. What's it for?" Narutosheepishly rubbed the back of his head in minor embarrassment.

"Oh my mom made some snacks for if we want to take a break. Or if wewere hungry after the lesson." Naruto slightly blushed as Cecegrinned.

"That's nice of her. You can set it on the counter over there." Cecesays pointing toward the counter that was connected to the kitchen.Naruto nodded and placed the picnic basket on top. He returned to thered head seeing her start to stretch.

"You should probably stretch before we start because -"

"You could pull a muscle." Naruto finished surprising the girl.

"Um, yeah. So get to stretching mister." She giggled as she glancedover toward Naruto.

"Sure thing. But I'm going to take off my jacket, do you know where Ican put it?" He asked looking over the apartment. Cece justshrugged.

"You can just place it on the couch it's no biggie." She shrugstouching her toes. But she became slightly distracted when she lookedover and saw the blonde strip out his jacket to reveal the orangetank top underneath.

It was safe to assume that Naruto Uzumaki had a spectacular figure.What with the pecks that were popping out along with his chiseledarms that were freely displayed, and the growing six pack underneath.She absently blushed when he looked at her with a cheerfulgrin.

"You like what you see?" He teased stretching out his legs. He took aglimpse over at the redhead and he saw that she was sort of in adaze.. And was that drool on the side of her lip? He had to chuckleshe was really cute.

Soon she realized that he was looking at her and she turned away witha reddening face.

"So, I'm guessing you work out a lot huh." It wasn't a question, ifhe didn't work out then she's actually a platypus who was shipped outto Earth from aliens living on Mars. Which is impossible.

Naruto only shrugged.

"4 hours a day. sometimes 5 if I've recovered from the previous dayby the morning. I usually take breaks on the weekend since the

weekend is well. The weekend." Naruto replied as he stretched out hisarms unconsciously flexing them to which Cece stared at from whereshe was stretching.

And she was mentally squealing, to think she could interact with thishuman being for a few hours was making her have butterflies.

"Okay, I think we're done stretching now come on." She says standingup to which Naruto followed in tow.

"Alright, now in order for me to teach you anything I need to seewhat you can do. So dance." Cece says stepping back so the blondecould groove. Naruto nodded and started to assess what moves he couldshow. He wanted to show that he was an amateur but also show that hehas potential. He decided that he was just going to show moves thatonly involve him standing up.

He'll save the fancy flips and on the head spinning for later.

When Naruto started to move it was like something that Cece has neverseen before. This guy was moving as if he perfected dancing in anart. It was like she was looking at an artist paint a picture withthe most detailed of colors and splashes of perfection. And that wasthe only way she could compare the moves he showed, by comparing itto art itself.

The way his feet shuffled, the way he grooves with his knees andarms, also noticing the fact that he didn't even sweat once he wasnearly finished. Naruto planned this out, he was going to dance likea professional for the whole time, but he was going to put a spinningfinish and "fall" onto his back and he did just that.

Naruto spun in a 360 degree angle and fell onto the wooden floor.Cece gasped and rushed over toward Naruto who was still on theground. He held up a single hand while dramatically speaking in araspy voice.

"Tell my mother.. That I'm not going to make it.." He says slumpinghis head in fake unconsciousness making Cece giggle. Naruto soongrinned and sat up looking at the redhead.

"Sorry, I kind of slipped at the end there. How did I do?" He askedknowing full well he wasn't leaving without praise for his dancingskills.

"You did really good, there wasn't a problem I could have found.Well, besides the end there. Otherwise I liked watching you dance.Although.. You need some polishing up." She teased playfully pinchingNaruto in his whiskered cheeks.

"Oh wow, that really means a lot! Knowing someone of your calibercomplimenting me on my dance moves like that. I appreciate it verymuch!" He says taking Cece into an embrace. Cece audibly gasped fromthe hug and was surprised that he would do that. But she breathed inrelief when she sunk into the arms of the very tall 13 year old.

If complimenting somebody could give her more warm hugs like this shewould do that for eternity. After all, he was so warm, so nice.. So..Hot. Unluckily the blonde let go of the hug and went over to thepicnic basket.

"How about we take a little break? All of that dancing made mehungry." Naruto suggested rubbing his head sheepishly. Cece couldonly smile softly.

"Sure, I would like that." She agreed sitting over at the dinnertable as Naruto brought the basket and set it on top. Naruto satright next to her as he splayed out the snacks. Naruto placed outcontainers that consisted of ham, crackers and cheese. What Cecenoticed was there was a variety of cheese. All different kinds fromthe looks of it.

Naruto saw the surprised look she was giving and had to laugh, shelooked so adorable just then.

"Yeah.. My mom has a thing for cheese."

'_Almost as much as she does for ramen._' Naruto grinned noticingCece shake out of her thoughts before smiling sweetly.

"It's alright, I like it also. Especially this one.." She says takinga tiny cube of Swiss cheese and placing it in her mouth, relishing inthe taste. Naruto smiled at her expression before taking a littlecube of Colby jack cheese. It was a tiny cube colored orange with asplash of white in some places. This was Naruto's favorite type ofcheese. And he wondered if she tried it before. He was about to findout.

"Really? Well, how about this one?" He smiled slyly placing the cubeof cheese to her lips as she took a bite from it. She widened hereyes in surprise of the taste as she was about to take another one,before she saw Naruto place the cheese she bit out of into his mouth.Making her pout cutely.

'_I could look at her all day without getting bored._'

"Boo, you took my cheese. You're very selfish aren't you?" She askedteasingly fluttering her eyebrows to which Naruto chuckledat.

"Well, I could give you another one if you'd like.." He smirkspurposely flexing his developed biceps while reaching for a cube ofcheese. Although Cece knew what he was doing, however she couldn'thelp but dreamily sigh at the perfection of a guy in front of her. Hewas so attractive she couldn't help it! He had a body to die for, aface to murder for. And the way he spoke to her, challenging herevery flirt with some of his own words was so enticing!

"Yeah I would like that." She smiles biting the cube of cheese heplaced at the front of her lips. It tasted so good she couldn't helpbut take in the whole thing which made Naruto laugh.

"This tastes really good." She admits getting a nod out of theblonde.

"Yeah, it tastes so great because it isn't processed like otherproducts. This also makes it healthier for the person eating it, myfamily is very keen on keeping in shape. I am no different." Narutoexplains getting a raise of the brow from the orange haired girl.That was something she didn't even know. Now this guy turned out to

be really smart.. Absolutely perfect! Naruto Uzumaki. Such an enigma.Speaking of Naruto..

"Hey Naruto?" Naruto blinks while eating a piece of cheese. Herresponse sort of surprised him since she hasn't said anything in awhile due to how much time she spent thinking. Which surprised Cecefrom how much she was thinking about this guy, she never usuallythinks!

"Yeah Cece?"

"Your full name is Naruto Uzumaki right?"

"Um, yeah." He squints. That was an odd question considering he toldher that literally the day before.

"That name is sort of.. What's that word?.. Oh yeah! Foreign! Yourname is kind of foreign around here in Chicago. I've never heard ofyou before and you look like you're my age so.. I was wondering whereyou were from."

"Oh, I'm from Japan. I've recently moved to Chicago last month. So Ihad to get used to the unique greetings that you guys do. Like sayingyour given name first and your surname last. That was fun, likeeveryone kept calling me Uzumaki all of the time." He chucklesgetting Cece to giggle. Oh and he was funny too!? Come on! She'salready heads over heels for this guy as it is!

"Since you're from Japan does that mean your name has some sort ofspecial meaning?" She asks surprising him. Not many people have askedhim that question, she was the only one.

"Well, my parents named me after my Godfather's main protagonist inhis first published book. Naruto. He came up with the name whileeating ramen unfortunately. Which makes me named after the toppingfishcake." He scowled as Cece began to laugh uncontrollably. Soonenough she became breathless and started to lean on Naruto forlaughing so hard. Which even made Naruto chuckle.

She has a beautiful laugh that was contagious. Once she was donefussing over how Naruto was named after a topping she soon wiped offsome tears and smiled widely not being able to hide heramusement.

"It also means maelstrom, a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a riverfor example. Uzumaki means whirlwind, a weather phenomenon in avortex of wind." Naruto explains as Cece widened her eyes. Thatactually sounded pretty cool! Maelstrom Whirlwind. She liked it, itrung pretty well.

"That's actually really cool. Since you know what your name means, doyou think you can tell me what mine is?" She asks leaning toward himhopefully, with huge puppy dog eyes to match. Naruto being a softycouldn't help but fall for the eyes she made. Luckily he knew whather name's meaning was, even if it wasn't Japanese.

"Well, let's see.. Cece which is a shortened version of Cecelia-" Helooked toward her seeing her face become surprised.

"-It's not that hard to piece the name together you know.. But

anyways, since your name is Latin and not Japanese I would say itmeans.. Blind, yeah that's right! Cece means blind." Cece scrunchedup her nose hearing that.

"But, I am clearly not blind. Haven't you seen the clothes I wear?They look good." She emphasized jokingly flipping her hair in a divalike manner. Which got a chuckle out of the blonde. That was actuallypretty funny.

"Well, that's what your name means. I'm sure your parents named youafter putting some great thought into it." Naruto grinned, but soonfrowned when he noticed Cece look down at the table glumly. Hereached out and grasped her hand jolting her out of her funk.

"I'm sorry for saying that, I'm sure it might be a soft subject foryou to talk about. So I apologize for bringing up your past." Narutoapologizes as she blushes under his cerulean gaze. Those eyes weredeeper than any ocean she had ever seen. He could put her under aspell and she wouldn't be able to notice. Although she just smiledsoftly.

"It's okay you couldn't have known. But yeah, I'm sure they did. Yousee um, my mom is a single mother. My dad left a couple years ago anddivorced my mom. We've moved on since then though. No biggie!" Shesays trying to put on a smile. Although Naruto could see through herruse, what with the tears that were attempting to leak out of hereyes. Naruto knew she needed comfort so he being the good person thathe is went for the hug.

He hooked his arms around her neck so he could pull her in close. Hesoon started to rub the back of her head soothingly. Cece wassurprised but relieved he did this to comfort her. Soon she hookedher arms under his and wrapped it around his back melting into theembrace.

"I wouldn't know of the life you had to go through while you're dadhas been gone, and I'm sorry you had to go through such a traumaticexperience like that. But to see you be happy like this, to see youpushing on to become better than what you were then, to see youstrong even when something like that can make somebody else weak. Ifeel I am truly inspired, and I'm glad you've told me that." Narutowhispers delicately into her ears making her cry more.

She couldn't help but be happy just then, to hear someone she justmet talk so warmly and highly of her just broke her down. The wordshe said were so compassionate, so caring, so thoughtful. How couldshe just bump into someone like this? He could be a potentialtherapist!

Soon she broke away from the hug and sniffed a few times beforewiping her tears away. Although the tears still seemed to flow freelyfrom her chocolate brown irises.

"You know you should be a therapist." She sniffed looking down at herfeet, to which she slightly giggled. Although Naruto frowned andtilted her head up to look directly at him. Soon, chocolate brown wasintroduced to sapphire blue. Naruto wiped away her tears making herwiden her eyes in surprise.

"I'll become a therapist when you get happier." Naruto declares

making her smile once more. She has never met someone so passionateon making her happy before. She felt like her stomach was fluttering,her heart skipped a few beats, her hands became clammy. She was sonervous, but so comfortable around him at the same time. It was mindboggling.

After what seemed like a millennia Naruto placed both hands on hercheeks and looked at her intently. Not noticing how her face seemedto redden further.

"I want you to be happy." He admits rubbing her white cheeks with histan thumbs making her blink. This guy was so.. So unbelievablyperfect. That was a logical way to describe Naruto Uzumaki. Someonethat was the definition of flawless.

She swore she was holding in her breath just now.

"I don't think you need to worry about that, you're making me happierby the second.." She whispers leaning toward him with her eyesclosed. Naruto saw what she was doing and followed suit.

They both inched ever so closer as the scent of the other reachedtheir nostrils, the scent of Cece's gentle strawberry perfume andNaruto's intoxicating smell of nature mixing together. They bothreveled in the other's aroma while inching closer together. Soon theyboth could feel the heavy breaths of anticipation coming from eachother.

Their lips were millimeters apart and were close to connecting. Theywere in the moment, they were going to have their very first kiss,nothing could ruin this nothing could stop them from-

"Hey, hey hey!" The cheerful voice of Rocky Blue interrupts whileclimbing through the window.

Naruto and Cece rapidly jolt apart with the color of their faceslooking comparable to a freshly grown tomato. They both mentallysigh, they almost had their first kiss just then. And beinginterrupted ruined everything. Although Cece shrugged and lookedtoward Rocky with a smile. She stood up from the table and greetedher lifetime best friend with a hug.

"Hey! You're back!" The redhead says as Rocky embraced her, returningthe hug.

"Yes I am. It turns out my cousin Jerry had to end it early since hehad a dentist appointment." Rocky explained as Cece took on athoughtful look.

"Does he still have those gigantic front teeth?" Cece saysexaggerating how big it is. Rocky nodded while taking on anunpleasant expression.

"Yeah.. That's why he has to go to the dentist. It turns out hisfront teeth were overlapping." Rocky explained while Cece cringedfrom the details.

"Ooooh. That's not good.." She says scrunching up her nose. WhileNaruto mentally threw up from the information.

"Yeah.." Rocky agreed as she was also revolted from learning thatabout him. Cece soon after a few moments bopped herself fromforgetting to introduce Naruto.

"Well anyways! Rocky I would like you to introduce yourself toNaruto! You know, the guy we met at the subway station yesterday?"She says while looking toward Naruto. Rocky put on a smile as she sawthe very attractive male in front of her.

"Hi I'm Rocky Blue. It's nice to see you again." She smiles not evenhiding the fact that she adored what she was looking at, hey it wasan improvement from how shy she was yesterday. Naruto gave her agrin, cool another friend he could make!

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and.. I really like your name it sounds greatyou know." He grins while Rocky squeals from the compliment whichmade Naruto raise an eyebrow. While Cece mentally face palmed at herbest friend.

"Well uh thank you. It is an original." She says posing for emphasiswhile Cece narrowed her eyes.

"Is it really Rocky? Is it really?" The redhead questions folding herarms in disbelief while Rocky pouted.

"Yes I'm sure it is.." She says in self doubt not convincing theshorter female while Naruto chuckled.

"So Cece.." Naruto says gaining her undivided attention.

"Yes Naruto?"

"Should we get back to the dance lessons?" He asks while Cecesmiled.

"Sure, let's do that. Right Rocky?" She asks to which Rockynodded.

"Alright Naruto the first thing you need to do is.."

* * *

><p>It has been a few hours since Naruto started 'learning' from thepair of teens. Sure he knew this was just a cover up to make friendsand it was working beautifully. Not that their pointers haven't beenhelpful even if Naruto has seen these dance moves before. Although hehad a fun time talking to them, they were an eccentric duoindeed.<p>

Now Naruto was out in the hall with all of his things.

"I think you should keep the snacks, I have a bunch of those athome." Naruto suggested while Cece grinned gorgeously. Naruto had toadmit, he has never seen such an attractive girl in his life. Well, agirl that was his age anyways, and Rocky wasn't a shabby lookereither. Even though, he had this indecipherable attraction toward theredhead that he couldn't get rid of.

It was driving him insane.

"Oh, well thank you. That's very nice of you." She smiles whiletwirling her hair, leaning towards him all the while. Naruto sooninhaled the scent of her beautiful strawberry perfume and he couldn'thelp but fall over on the spot.

Luckily, he didn't. That would have been embarrassing.

"It's no problem, my mom makes a bunch of snacks for me after I getin my daily workout, she's worried with how intense my sessions arethat I'll pass out from exhaustion." Naruto says noticing her Cecewasn't so very subtly goggling him from head to toe. Naruto had tolaugh, she was very oblivious at times.

"Huh. That does make sense." She says in her thinking pose to whichNaruto nodded at.

"Yeah, well. I'm about to go I'll see you the same time tomorrow?" Heasked to which she nodded.

"Yes. I would enjoy that." She smiles cutely to which Naruto's eyesdilated from the look.

"Well, bye.." Naruto grins while she followed suit.

"Bye.." She replies while Naruto turned his back to her, walkingaway. Although he didn't get very far until Cece grasped his arm,looking up at the very tall guy. She mentally gulped, he was a lottaller than Rocky. And _that_ was saying something.

"Um, are you home schooled?" She asks suddenly to which Narutoblinked at. That was a very random question.

"Yes actually, uh. Why did you ask that?" He noticed that Cece seemedto shift in her feet a little nervously until she shook herself outof her reverie.

"Well! We have this awesome school called John Hughes High School andI was wondering if you could start going there. So that we can seeeach other more." She explained as her face reddened at the veryobvious move. Naruto only grinned at her calming her down.

"Yeah, I'll apply for it. May take a while though." Naruto saysmaking the redhead hang her head in a pout. She wanted Naruto to goto their school as soon as possible, he was so cute she couldn't helpbut be in his presence.

"Oh, well. Okay! As long as you go to the school it's completelyfine." She says to which Naruto nodded.

"That's true. Goodbye Cece." Naruto says grinning at her his eyes ina daze.

"Bye Naruto see you tomorrow." She replied her voice becoming dreamyas Naruto walked away. Soon she closed the door and slumped downleaning on it dreamily.

"Wow.." She gasps in a daze unknown to her Naruto was out in the halldoing the same thing against a wall.

"Wow.." He never knew such an adorable girl could exist.. And in his

earlier years he met super models! Cece thought the same thing,although she never personally met super models she has seen cute boysat her school. But she didn't think anyone was as adorable as acertain blonde. They both sigh dreamily, this was going to begreat.

Rocky soon returned from the bathroom to see Cece who was stillsitting on the floor and fancifully staring in a daze. Rocky had tosmirk, she knew the redhead was head over heels over the whiskermarked blonde. Then Rocky had to think, why did he have those whiskermarks? Eh, she'll just ask him another time. Although she had to tendto her lovesick patient at the moment.

"So, did he leave?" Rocky asked while Cece faintly nodded still inthe same daze. After a short amount of time Cece looked toward Rockyquestioningly.

"Rocky, I have a question."

"Yes Cece? You can ask me anything."

"Well, it's just.. I have this weird feeling inside of me. Like mystomach is doing back flips, and my heart is just aching. But forwhat? Rocky please help me!" Cece panics shaking the brunette. Rockysoon soothed her friend and said,

"Cece I believe you're in love." Rocky informs her as Cece widenedher eyes. Was that what love felt like? It sort of felt..Nice.

"Really? Wow. I think you're right."

"Well of course. It's me of course."

"Yeah, you are pretty awesome."

"Yup, now moving on.. Do you want to watch Shake It UpChicago?"

"Yes, I would like that." And the two childhood friends becameimmersed into their favorite TV show as they had a fantastic time ineach other's company.

* * *

><p>Naruto arrived at his home entering through the front door of themansion. He entered seeing his mom cooking up on some dinner, whichin turn made his stomach growl. She heard it and giggled turningtoward her son.<p>

"So, how was it Naruto? Make any grand babies?" She teased as theblonde's face reddened.

"No. But mom I have a favor to ask." He says making her raise acrimson eyebrow. Naruto doesn't usually ask for favors since he wassmart enough to do it himself. So him asking her a favor was asurprise.

"What is it?"

"I want to apply for John Hughes High School." He says as she smirkedknowing exactly what was going on. Although Naruto has said he neededto get to know people his own age, he never really pushed towardgoing to a school before, looking toward meeting people aroundhangouts instead. He didn't needed to go to school either, beingtaught by the best teachers money and brains could hire. Along withbeing able to comprehend what his teachers are pointing out with hisprodigious brain.

So Naruto asking to go to a regular school is surprising. Maybe ithad something to do with that girl he visited. Either way Kushina wasgoing to find out why he wanted to go there.

"Oh I see, is it because of the girl you 'learned' dancing from?" Sheteased slyly making Naruto blush once more.

"Yes actually. She says she wanted me to go to her school. And I dowant to go there." Naruto stated making Kushina giggle.

"Sure, your dad and I will send in a form in the morning. Now go andget out of those clothes, you stink." Kushina says plugging her nosewhile Naruto nodded going into his room to freshen up.

Naruto as he got out of his clothes to shower could only think of onething that night.

'_How could I get to know Cece more?_'

Soon Naruto would be off toward John Hughes High School in themorning.

* * *

><p>It is currently 6:30 AM as the trio Namikaze family entered theschool building. It turns out the principal called the Namikazespersonally so that they could discuss Naruto's application for theschool.<p>

They all entered the building quickly exploring to find theprincipal's office. Naruto himself made sure he memorized everycorner of the school so that he wouldn't get lost. After some timethey all found the principal's office. Minato knocked and enteredhearing a polite "Come in".

The trio entered through the wooden door seeing three chairs in thefront while the principal himself was sitting behind his desk.

The principal immediately stood up seeing the famousNamikaze.

"Hello I am Principal Rabinoff. I am pleased to make youracquaintance Mr. Namikaze, Mrs. Namikaze, Naruto Namikaze." He sayswith a friendly grin to which the three returned.

"Greetings Principal. Now I would like to get down to business, formy son's sake."

"Ah yes. You both turned in an application for your son's transfer tothis school. Although it says he is clearly advanced for well a 13year old in the 8th grade. In matter of fact it says he could

graduated college 5 times over. Shouldn't he apply for a jobinstead?" The principal asked as Minato chuckled, although Kushinawas the one who answered this time.

"Yes that's true. But Naruto here is applying more for a personalmatter than an educational one. One we will not convey since it is aninvasion of my son's privacy. You understand don't you?" She askswith a serene smile getting the principal to nod.

"Yes I do, and it also says that Naruto's name should be displayed asyour last name Kushina? An Uzumaki? Now, why is that?" He asked.Although Naruto answered the question.

"This would help me contain my privacy over the students and thepaparazzi. I just want to live a normal life where I could go out inpublic in peace." He explains as the principal nodded.

"Yes, I see. Well, all I have to say is.. Welcome to John HughesHigh!" He says as he gave off a grin.

"Now here's your schedule young man. And have a nice day." PrincipalRabinoff says shaking the hands of Minato, Kushina, and Naruto. Thetrio soon exited the office as they looked toward one another.

"That guy was weird." They all chorused at the same time having alaugh. Soon Kushina and Minato looked at each other each having anunderstanding before hugging Naruto.

"Have a great day son, and remember to study hard." Minato advisesrubbing the blonde's head affectionately.

"Sure thing dad." Naruto grins as he feels his redheaded mother rubhis cheeks lovingly.

"Oh my baby boy is actually going to a school! Make sure to make lotsof grand babies!" She giggles manically making the blonde males'sweat drip down their face.

"Mom.." Naruto whined while Kushina gave Naruto a brown paperbag.

"Here's your lunch. It's Vegetable Ramen." Kushina says while Narutogrinned.

"I love you guys." Naruto says as his parents both smile at hiswords.

"We love you too. Now have a good day son." Minato says walking awaywhile Kushina grinned widely.

"Oh and remember if you date this Cece girl.. Make sure to bring herover! I want to meet my future daughter you know!" She grins walkingaway while Naruto became angry. So furious that his face becamedarker than the color of his mother's hair while an additional steamwas flowing out of his ears at an accelerated pace.

"She is not going to be your future daughter!" Naruto stammered as heheard Kushina giggle before exiting the school. Naruto just sighed,he should at least explore the school to get rid of hisfrustrations.

* * *

><p>It has been about an hour since Naruto entered the building andhe has completely explored every part of the school. Now all he hadto do was wait for all of the students to file in and until classstarts. Naruto had to say he was pretty excited to meet newpeople.<p>

He hasn't entered a school before, so this was sort of out of hiscomfort zone. Although he wasn't nervous, he has always been a prettyconfident guy.

If he had to give an opinion about himself on the matter thatis.

After about a few minutes Naruto saw students enter the building ashe went into the hall. Immediately he was glad he did so as he sawtwo certain girls that caught his eye. But most importantly theshorter one who he has interacted the most with. They were talkingface to face while Cece's back was turned toward him. Rockyimmediately saw him and was about to spoil the surprise, if Narutodidn't give her the "be silent" signal before she could anyways.

She nodded as Naruto grinned. An all too gorgeous grin to heranyways. Soon Naruto sneaked behind Cece and hooked his arm aroundher neck causing her to gasp and turn behind her. Once she saw who itwas she smiled and gave Naruto a surprising hug.

"Wow! You came!" She says making Naruto laugh.

"I did. I told you I was applying right?" He says making her gigglewhile Rocky could only smile. He was such an attractive guy.. But itseemed he liked Cece from the way he was holding her.. Sheimmediately thought they would make an adorable couple so she wouldbe a supporting friend for her orange haired companion.

"So, what's your schedule Naruto?" Rocky asks as Naruto grinnedletting Cece go.

"I have it in my backpack actually. Hold on." Naruto says unstrappinghis orange JanSport right pack backpack and looking around for hisschedule in his binder. As the blonde was searching, it gave the twogirls the opportunity to goggle at what he was wearing.

Naruto was wearing an orange long sleeved button up shirt with bothsleeves rolled up, white skinny jeans, accompanied with white andorange Vans. The accessories he was wearing on his left wrist was awhite stainless steel Apple Watch, and on his other wrist he wore anI Love Ramen bracelet. All the duo had to say was that the guy looked_amazing_.

Almost too amazing if you asked the both of them, they literallyswore that Naruto came out of a dream they once had. And that wassaying something since they both don't usually have dreams.

Naruto soon finished his search as he took out his schedule.

"Here you go. Sorry it took so long." He grinned sheepishly receivingtwo sweet smiles.

"Oh it's okay/fine." They both say at the same time which made Narutoblink. But he shrugged and handed them the schedule hereceived.

Both of the teenagers examined the schedule both hoping they hadclasses with the blonde. Speaking of Naruto he immediately noticedthat Cece was squinting at his paper even when it was centimeters infront of her face. But once she stopped squinting he shrugged, hethought it was something to be worried about. Good thing itwasn't.

The girls' jaws had dropped as they read the schedule. Naruto hadevery single class with Cece. That was appalling! Because usually atleast one student in this school had to have the slightest chance ofmeeting new people. So they had to have classes where they would beseparated from a certain person for at least a single period.

Heck, Rocky only had 3 classes with Cece. Not counting homeroom. Wellsince she took the more advanced courses that could be the reason whyshe didn't have more classes with her shorter companion.

"Whoa.. You have every class with me. Including homeroom!" Cece gaspsas Rocky blinked. Although Naruto grinned and in his head he dancedexcitedly. This is his chance!

"How is that even possible? In the school guidebook it says to haveat least one class separate of a student. So why do you have allclasses with Cece?" Rocky asked while the two gave her a weird look.Which in turn made her uncomfortable.

"What?.. I get bored okay?" She says uneasily as the two chuckled.That is before a male voice called out their names.

"Hey Cece, Rocky what's up, who's this?" He asks looking up towardthe tall blonde.

"Hi Deuce! This is Naruto, Naruto this is Deuce!" Cece introduced asthe blue eyed boy stuck his hand out for Deuce to shake.

"Naruto just applied for this school, if you were wondering why youhaven't seen him before." Rocky informed as Deuce nodded his headshaking Naruto's tan hand.

"Well it's nice to meet ya! Now.. Could I interest you in somebreakfast burritos?" Deuce asked opening up his jacket to reveal avariety of different burritos. Naruto took on a thoughtful lookbefore asking,

"Um, can I take a look at one first?" He asked as Deucenodded.

"Sure thing, but I'm telling you, you won't find better prices forthese, they're the best in the business." Deuce confidently declaresgiving Naruto a burrito. Naruto looked over the burrito and squintedseeing that the burrito's due date was set months ago.

"Um, Deuce.. These burritos are overdue. I think you need to replacethese.." Naruto said while the three teens around him gasped.

"What? No way let me see.. That.." Deuce soon examined the wrapperfinding out that the burritos were made in December!Oh business wasgoing to plummet.. He had to go.

"Oh no.. That means all those people who bought these.. Look guys Ihave to go. And if anyone asks where I went, say that I took a planeto Cuba. Bye!" He hysterically requests sprinting away. The trio thatlooked on toward Deuce exiting had given the teen weird looks. Soonthey were going to resume their conversation before Deuce returned ina hurry.

"Oh and here is this flier. Bye!" He says sprinting once again, oncehe heard some students violently shout his name. The trio shruggedlooking at the flier noticing that it was a Shake It Up Chicago adfor young teens to join.

"Shake It Up Chicago? Auditions on the tenth, looking for lead andbackground dancers 13 and up? Get out of here!" Cece said excitedlyas Rocky widened her eyes.

"Shake It Up is asking for teens to audition? Oh my gosh this couldbe our chance!" Rocky says hugging the three of them. Naruto althoughhappy for his friends' excitement had to ask.

"What is Shake It Up Chicago?" He asked as the two females becameastonished.

"You don't know what Shake It Up Chicago is?" Rocky asked trying toovercome the shock from such a question.

"This is only the best TV dance show in the world!" Cece declareslooking toward Rocky who was also hyping up the show.

"We watch it every Saturday. the dancers there are sick." She says asCece became mushy.

"Oh I would so kill you to be on that show.." She says as Rocky hugsher sentimentally.

"Oh I would so let you!" They giggle as they let go of the embrace.Naruto chuckled at their antics until both girls took on an annoyedlook. He glanced behind him to see two blondes, one a girl, the othera guy both dressed in the most glittered outfits he had everseen.

"Hello people I am Gunther-"

"-And I am Tinka-"

"And we are.. The Hessenheffers!" They both finish off extendingtheir arms diagonally in a ridiculous pose, irritating Rocky and Cecefurther. Naruto was holding in his laugh with how preposterous theirpose was. It sort of reminded him of Jiraiya.. But Jiraiya was wayworse. Naruto laughed a little and stuck his hand out.

"Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki a pleasure to meet you both." He grinned asGunther raised his eyebrow, and his sister could only smile shakinghis hand.

"Strange name." Gunther blurts out receiving a slap in the gut by his

sister. Tinka soon smiled upon Naruto's tall figure barelyrestraining a fan girl giggle.

"Ignore him, that is perfect name." She compliments as Narutogrinned.

"Thanks.. Your name is pretty.. Unique." Naruto says with a sheepishgrin. Soon Tinka saw the yellow paper in Cece's hand and smirked.

"I see you have a flier for the Shake It Up Chicago, local, popular,television, dance program." She says as Gunther grinned.

"We also have a flier." He said taking out a flier and not noticingthe flier was held upside down until he fixed it.

"Now's your chance to exit from the audition gracefully, hanging yourheads like dogs. Whoof, whoof." He mocks posing like a dog. WhileTinka followed suit.

"Now wait a second Stinka."Cece insults as Rocky chuckled.

"Okay that was a good one." She says high-fiving Cece as their voicesrose higher in pitch from the excitement.

"Was that not a good one? That was so good, so good." Soon the posedseriously while Naruto once again laughed. This school ishysterical!

"Why wouldn't we audition? We are the best dancers in Chicago." Cececlaimed while the Hessenheffers took on a look of disbelief.

"Don't be Loony-nutty! You're not even the best dancers in thishallway." Gunther smirks as the two walked away when they heard thebell ring. Naruto had a frown on his face. They were pretty mean.Cece noticed this and gave him a pat on the arm.

"I know they can be jerks. But it's alright! We got it covered sodon't worry." Cece smiles while receiving one from the tallerblonde.

"Okay, as long as you say it's alright then it is. Now I think weshould head to homeroom right Rocky?" Naruto asks as shenodded.

"Sure! Wouldn't want to be late." She smiles as they all head toclass. Naruto soon thought that going to school was the best thingthat has ever happened to him. Which is actually pretty funny.

Well, since regular people usually despise going to school. But thething was, Naruto Uzumaki wasn't like regular people.

* * *

><p>The school day has just ended and you could see three figureswalking in front of an apartment building.<p>

"I think we should practice a little for the upcoming audition."Naruto recommended getting a joyful nod from Cece.

"Yeah, I agree! We should definitely work on our moves." She says,

although Rocky looked a little hesitant.

"Yeah.. About that.. I don't think I'm ready for this. Maybe Guntherand Tinka are right!" Rocky admits as the two in front of herscrunched up their eyes in disbelief.

"Why would you listen to anything the say? What are you,Loony-nutty?" Cece asks mocking the gesture Gunther madeearlier.

"Maybe I am but I'm still not going." Rocky declared before Narutosighed walking up to her. He soon placed a hand on her shoulder incomfort making her blush from the contact.

"Look, Rocky. I know you're nervous. But what you need to realize isthat it doesn't matter what other people say. All that matters iswhat you think of yourself. Sure Gunther and Tinka may have opinionsthat discourage you, but you need to understand that it's just anassumption made by somebody else. It doesn't define who you are, butwhat does is what you do Rocky.

Don't think about the words of someone who doesn't truly know whatyou are capable of, because they aren't you. And you need to haveconfidence in yourself because you definitely have a talent for this,and it's time to show the world what you can do." Naruto saysshocking the duo. They didn't even know what to say. They have neverheard such beautiful genuine words in all of their life.

Naruto Uzumaki is such an inspiration and both Rocky and Cece couldnot help that their hearts started to beat a little faster from thatspeech.

"Wow.. I, don't know what to say.." Rocky admits with a noticeableblush.

"You don't have to say anything, all you have to do is.. Well, do."Naruto grins patting her on the shoulder. Rocky overcome with emotionjust hugged onto Naruto's lithe body feeling that she could doanything she set her mind to. Cece could only smile at the seen, howdid she know that Naruto out of all people could convince thebrunette?

"Yeah.. Naruto you should definitely be a therapist." Cece added injolting Rocky out of the hug.

"And moment ruined." She sighs while Naruto chuckled.

"Maybe I'll be one in the future who knows." He shrugged. Soonsomeone exited from the building with ear buds in his ears. Cece soonreceived an immediate idea walking toward the older teen.

"Ty! Could you please help us with coming up with dance moves for theaudition to Shake It Up Chicago?" She asks as Ty smirked walking downthe stairs.

"Well, I don't know if some people could handle it." He saidpointedly looking at Rocky. After he stood on the concrete hedemonstrated some dance moves, shuffling his hands and feet togetherwith a spinning finish. Naruto mentally clapped, that was prettygood.

Rocky stood up from her seat accepting the challenge.

"I can do that." She says replicating Ty's moves with ease. Once shewas finished everyone looked impressed before Ty smirked coming upwith another routine.

"Alright, but you can't do this." He claims placing his arms out andshifting his upper body to his left, with his lower body following,and his head coming in last. Soon he shifted his shoulders down as ifit was a staircase with a moon walking finish.

Rocky didn't look impressed as she said,

"Oh yeah?" Soon she mimicked his moves easily also with a moonwalking finish.

"In my sleep." Ty smirked, his coaching was done here.

"Good. You do that at the audition tomorrow, then you've got nothingto worry about." Ty said before he finally noticed the blonde.

"Oh yo, you must be Naruto Uzumaki right? The new student?" Ty saidshaking Naruto's hand with a pat on his back.

"Um yeah that's me. How do you know me again? This is the first timewe met so.." Naruto trailed off as Ty just shrugged.

"Some of my female friends were gossiping about you man, this onegirl named Tiffany, she told me she has a thing for you." Ty informedmaking the three surprised.

"Um, wow. That's shocking actually, today's literally my first day.."Naruto said his face scrunching up as Ty nodded.

"Yeah, but I'm about to head out. Catch y'all later." Ty says aboutto head toward the other direction, well that is before Cece caughthis attention.

"But Ty you're really good you should audition with us." Cecesuggested making the Blue shake his head.

"No thanks, I don't dance for the man." He said before a cute girlwalked by into the nearest restaurant.

"But I do dance for the woMAN Hey wassup baby!" He called outspinning around and moving toward the female with his body dancing asif he lassoed her. The trio raised their eyebrow at the scene beforewalking off. It was time to practice.

><p>It has been a full 24 hours since the trio received the flier andthey were about to enter the building for the auditions. The triolooked at each other before entering through the doubledoors.<p>

They were met with the sight of people spinning on their heads,walking in handstands and the fact that none of them were dancing ontheir feet. The lights were shining brightly along with the music

playing loudly.

**Play~ Roll the Dice: By Hot Rush,**

_It was time to shine.. Take a chance with your life, just roll thedice!_

"Wow.." Cece said looking at the dancers. Naruto saw Rocky'sdiscomfort and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about what they're doing. You need to focus on the movesthat you are about to perform, nobody can take away your confidenceand your skill away from you. You both remember that." Naruto advisedcalming Rocky down.

"Okay. I will." She said before Cece gasped.

"Hey look! It's the host of Shake It Up Chicago Gary Wilde! Huh, helooks a lot taller on TV.." Cece says as Naruto widened his eyesbefore sprinting toward Gary. Rocky and Cece both were astonished byNaruto's sudden act following him in a hurry.

"Gary!" Naruto called out toward the suited man surprising him.Although Gary was never good with remembering people's names he knewhe could never forget that voice. The voice of possibly the bestdancer in the world.

"Naruto is that really you?" He asked hugging the taller male.

"Yeah it's me! Wow, you've gotten shorter." He teased the man whochuckled.

"No, you just got a lot taller. Whoa! You look even better than fromthe last time I saw you. And that's saying something." Garycomplimented as Rocky and Cece finally caught up to them.

"Hey Rocky, Cece, come and meet Gary Wilde." Naruto says as Cece andRocky grinned.

"Look at this, your friends remind me of little tiny fairies thatlive in the woods."

"Do you need fairies? Cause uh, we could be fairies!" Cece smilesposing with Rocky to emphasize her claim. Gary only raised an eyebrowwhile Naruto chuckled. These two are a riot!

"You want me to autograph a picture you have of me?" Gary asks whileRocky looked for a picture in her bag.

"Oh, we don't have a picture of you." Rocky said as Gary smirked nottroubled at all.

"That's alright I have some." He said taking out a handful ofpictures from his pocket. Naruto only blinked at that.

"Why do you have so many pictures Gary?" He only shrugged.

"For dire cases like this of course! Here you go, lucky girls." Hesmiled walking away to do his host thing.

"Alright, you both ready to do this?" Cece asked confidently.

"Yeah, I'm as ready as I can be." Naruto answered while Rockyfrowned.

"No. Aren't you both the least bit nervous?" Rocky asked beforereceiving a shrug from the both of them.

"I don't get nervous. You know what I do? I just picture everyonearound here.. Naked." Cece said as the three of them spun aroundtrying out her idea. Rocky and Naruto although had on an appalledlook afterwards. Rocky soon saw a guy dancing while he walking infront of them.

"Okay! I'm putting even more clothes on that one!" She saidshivering. But as soon as she thought of the idea of picturingeveryone naked both Rocky and Cece looked at Naruto before blushing.They should really get their minds out of the gutter..

Although Naruto is really attractive.. And inspirational.. And cool..And funny.. And.. Okay they should probably stop before they get anose bleed. Now was not the time to goggle, it was the time todance!

* * *

><p>Everyone was dancing to the beat of the music, following thechoreographer's moves, as some people got eliminated because theymessed up. Gunther, Tinka, Rocky, Cece, and Naruto had no flawswhatsoever. Gary had to smirk, he already knew Naruto was a guaranteeon getting into this show.<p>

Everyone kept dancing until the music stopped, indicating the roundwas over. They all looked toward Gary who started announcing.

"Great job you are all moving down to the next round!" He saidgetting excited gasps from the dancers. Immediately Rocky and Cecehugged Naruto from the thrill of advancing.

"Except for you, you, you, and you." Gary said pointing toward somepeople as they hung their shoulders in shame.

Both Rocky and Cece still squealed.

"I can't believe we made it this far!" Rocky screams tightening herhold onto the duo.

"Neither can we. EEEEEP!" Gunther and Tinka mock while the trio sigh.Soon Gary entered clapping his hands for their attention.

"Alright, I only got 6 openings for background dancers and 1 for alead dancer. And we have one last step. It's the Spotlight Dance!Just you, your moves, and 10,000 kilowatts of hot white lighthighlighting your every flaw. And remember. Have fuuuuun." He grinsas they all start to shuffle around the stage so that they canstart.

* * *

><p>A teenager wearing a sweater with jeans and high tops along with

his hat being placed on backwards just finished his dance. The crowdcheered as his dancing was flawless.<p>

"Alright! You're good, you just don't have the look we're lookingfor. Next!" Gary says as he smacked the teen's rear sending him offstage with shame.

"That guy was great and they let him go, what chance do the three ofus have?" Rocky asked slumping her shoulders.

"A better chance now that he's gone." Cece replied as Naruto nodded.Although, he did feel kind of bad for the guy. He was a prettypleasant dancer. But since he wore that sweater.. He was immediatelyeliminated from the start.

"Next up Rocky Blue!" Gary calls out as Rocky stood up from herseat.

"That's you. Good luck!" Cece says hugging her friend. Rocky noddedand let go as Naruto gave her an embrace.

"Remember, be confident. It doesn't matter what other people say,just be sure to place some courage in yourself and you'll be fine."Naruto grinned making her smile. She soon walked toward the middle ofthe stage. Gary looked at her and widened his eyes.

"There you are, and may I say. Wow. Let's see what you got. Hit it!"Gary says as the music started playing.

**~Play, Watch Me: By Bella and Zendaya**

_Watch me do me._.

Once the music started playing Rocky could have sworn she felt chillsrunning down her spine, she didn't think about anyone during thismoment, whether it be about her homework she finished, about whatshe's going to do for the next science project, about what Garythought of her, or about what anyone thought about herdancing.

Right now, all she could think about was nothing as the music liftedher off her feet and giving her dancing a whole new meaning. Sheshuffled, she slid, she spun and the next thing you know, she wasdone.

Everyone clapped at the moves she displayed. She was pretty good, andNaruto grinned, his advice had worked. Gary walked up to her as helaid an arm around her depressingly.

"I'm sorry... But I'm afraid you're.. In!" He says as Rocky widenedher eyes in shock.

"Seriously?! I'm in? I'm going to be on the show every week?" Sheasked receiving a nod from the host who was looking at hisclipboard.

"Thanks Gar." She said testing out the nickname she just gave himbefore whispering toward her two friends saying.

"I just called him Gar!" She whispered excitedly while returning off

stage. Soon Gary smirked glancing down at his clipboard. He alreadyknew the next dancer was going to get into the show. It was _him_ forcrying out loud. Speaking of him..

"You did great Rocky, I knew you could do it." Naruto said makingRocky giggle.

"Thank you, I couldn't have done it without both of your support."Rocky said taking the both of them into a hug. Soon that's whenNaruto heard his name being called.

"Next up Naruto Uzumaki!" Gary announced as Naruto grinned.

"You got this, you're a really good dancer." Cece assured as Narutonodded with a grin.

"Yeah, she's right. There's nothing you can't do if you set your mindto it." Rocky said as Naruto heeded what she said, right beforeentering the stage. Gary openly grinned once Naruto stood in front ofthe camera.

"Hey there! I like your look, cool, charming, filled with style andyouth! Now all you gotta do is dance! Turn it up!" Gary says walkingoffstage as Naruto looked around feeling the music.

Cece and Rocky had to agree with him, Naruto looked amazing. He hadon a black and orange fedora, with a leather jacket that had thesleeves rolled up, and an orange shirt. Accompanied with black skinnyjeans and orange and black high top sneakers.

Naruto clapped a few times giving the audience some interaction asthe surrounding dancers started clapping giving Naruto a new feelingthat entered his body. He started off with the box step, soonswitching to the free spin, smoothly taking off his hat and throwingit toward Cece who caught it with love struck chocolate eyes. Luckilythe camera man backed up a bit from the stage to catch the specialinteraction between the two.

The audience immediately cat called from the move as Naruto startedto dance more. Gary was enjoying Naruto's movements as his personalassistant started whispering into his ear.

"What? The show? The ratings are what? Really? Wow! That'sspectacular! That's really great thank you." Gary said patting theassistant on the back. It turns out that Naruto's dancing made theratings to the show skyrocket. And along with his little hat throwingtoward Cece, the lovesick fans started chanting out a "Ship" Name forthe duo making the show even more popular than it was a few momentsbefore.

Now Gary Wilde _had_ to give the lead dancing position to the blonde.After all, he multiplied their ratings within a few minutes.Straightaway Gary had to think about the amount of ratings he couldgive the show in the future.. Imagine the amount of cash he would getfrom that! He could literally _feel _the money in his grasp!

Naruto finished the dance by pulling himself into a handstand andspinning on his head at high velocities, he continued until hesmoothly transitioned into a moonwalk ending the dance by spinningwith a pose. The audience immediately felt chills run down their back

at the fact at how Naruto's dancing was pure perfection. AlthoughCece and Rocky widened their eyes.

'_Wow, for someone who just started.. He was really good!_' Cecethought with a sweet smile as she looked toward Naruto who grinnedback. Gary approached Naruto and placed his arm over the broadshoulders of the 13 year old.

"Looks like you took the very last position of a lead dancer! Greatjob!" Gary complimented while Naruto grinned at the camera giving itthe peace sign.

Naruto returned offstage receiving a hug from both girls.

"I have to say your dancing was amazing!" Rocky praised making Narutoblush. He guessed those lessons a few years ago worked out prettywell.

"Yeah. Although that's surprising since a few days ago you fell onyour butt." Cece said in a thinking pose making Naruto grinsheepishly.

"I practiced a lot in the last few days." He swiftly lied as theyboth looked non the wiser. Naruto mentally sweat dropped, they wereso gullible as to believe that explanation? Wow. He was honestlyspeechless.

"Alright, next dancer Cece Jones!"Gary called out as Cece smiled.Rocky placed both hands on Cece's shoulders forassurance.

"Remember, don't get nervous. It's not as scary as it looks." Rockysaid as Cece scoffed not losing her confidence.

"Nervous? I've been waiting for this my whole life." She smirked asNaruto grinned at her.

"You're a great dancer Cece, remember that. And if anything badhappens, we'll be there to support you." He says as she looked towardhim, chocolate irises dilating in comfort.

"I'll hold you to that." She says kissing his cheek affectionately,surprising not just him but the audience at home.

Now, at the Namikaze Household..

* * *

><p>"YES! Minato look! I'm gonna get some grandbabies!" Kushinashouted eating a bunch of popcorn she made. Minato could only grin atthe very public display of affection.<p>

"I ship it." The blonde smiled as Kushina agreed.

"Me too! I think we should start coming up with names soon.." Kushinasaid in her thinking pose as Minato nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, but let's think about that later. We still have to see how shedances." He said as Kushina nodded munching on more popcorn.

"True.. Still! I want me some grand babies!" She whined as theycontinued to watch the show, wondering what will happen next.

* * *

><p>Cece soon entered upon the stage not even looking back as Narutoheld his cheek in astonishment, she just kissed him. That was reallyunexpected..<p>

"Ah, young, funky, great look. You're perfect! Now, if you could justdance without falling on your butt. You're in!" Gary says as Ceceprepared herself for the dance. Gary backed away from the stage asthe room darkened, a single light shining upon Cece's visage. Themusic then started playing, as Cece just stopped moving.

The audience and surrounding dancers widened their eyes to what theyhave witnessed. This was the first person today who froze up on thestage. And they had to admit, it was pretty silly. And ironic. Thiswas the girl who kept talking about how confident she was. Yet, onher first spotlight dance she freezes. Pitiful.

Naruto frowned at the sight, Cece was more confident than this. Hewitnessed her pull off moves even the most experienced dancers wouldhave difficulty of doing. She was a brave and amazing girl, yet rightnow she didn't look that way. She looked.. Vulnerable. Naruto didn'tlike that and wanted to help her regain her confidence. This is herdream, he didn't want to see it come to waste.

Rocky, became appalled by the image she was greeted with, Cece Joneshad stage fright. That wasn't the Cece Rocky knew, the one who wasdaring, hilarious, and the type of person who didn't let any obstaclestand in her way. That wasn't the Cece Rocky knew and she couldn'thandle that she was standing out there alone with no one to help her.Rocky was going to do something.

Cece didn't know why she stopped moving, why she could only look atthe light in fear. She was usually cheerful and calm about doingsomething in public. Except this time, this team she couldn't thinkstraight. She couldn't comprehend the situation she was in and howdire it was to her future. She couldn't think at at all, her mind hasbeen jumbled like a puzzle in a blender machine.

She wasn't usually like this, she usually had the bravery to go alongwith something like this. But that all changed when the spotlight hither. Hit her like a bat to a baseball. And let's just say there was ahome run somewhere in there.

Gary became impatient, she needed to dance so that they could have aromance pairing on this show!

"Tick tock, is she going to dance or not?" He asked as he shook hishead in irritation.

"Oh, she's gonna dance." Rocky declared giving Naruto a knowing look.Soon the both of them walked toward Cece to try and convince her todance.

"Cece, you got this. You just need to give confidence to yourself."Naruto tried but she wouldn't budge. Not even a centimeter.

"Can't. Might. Fall on. Butt." She replied still staring at thespotlight.

"But Gary said you were perfect!" Rocky added in. Although Cecedidn't move a single inch from that.

"Yeah, no pressure there.." She said as the spotlight consumed whatconfidence she had left.

"Try picturing someone naked." Naruto tried.

"Yeah I am.. And IT'S ME!" She said as Naruto and Cece becameworried.

"Fine.. Then you leave us no choice." Rocky said as both she andNaruto grabbed Cece's arms to make her dance.

The crowd of dancers bellowed with laughter from the idiocy the triodisplayed. Even going as far as mimicking their horrendous 'dancemoves'. Soon the music stopped and Gary walked onto the stage hisdemeanor, disappointed.

"Sorry kid." He said toward Cece as he walked off the stage.

"But Gary! She's got the look!" Rocky declared before she turned backto the redhead.

Cece frowned as the people stared at her. She was so embarrassed thefact that everyone on TV and the addition to everyone around herseeing her like this.. This was too much to bear. She looked at Rockywho had a frown on her face most likely feeling bad about hersituation.

Immediately she looked toward Naruto who was timidly looking at thestage floor. She couldn't gauge what he was feeling, was he sad forher, did he pity her, what was he thinking? She couldn't bear what itwould be, so she took off toward the exit, not once lookingback.

"Cece wait!" She heard her childhood friend call out. She didn't lookback. Not until she reached the subway station.

* * *

><p>She sat alone on a bench, crying her heart out until the painwent away, Unluckily the pain only grew, as she was left to herself.She kept thinking about the incident that happened moments ago, shecouldn't get it out of her head, how everyone looked at her, howeveryone laughed at her expense. How she didn't see his reactionpained her even more.<p>

She didn't know if he felt bad, or if he felt disgusted of ifhe..

She lost all train of thought once she felt someone hug her frombehind.

"I'm sorry." It was his soothing voice thought brought her out of herreverie, his voice that made her look behind her to see sparklingblue eyes, his voice that made her eyes become wide. And soon, she

was going to find out if that voice was going to save her.

"Don't be. You're not the one who froze up on stage while everyonelaughed at your every move." She sniffled as Naruto sat beside her,pulling an arm around her.

"Hey, don't be like that. Look, I know that this is difficult, beingthe center of attention and knowing that people laughed at you. ButCece, you can get through this. I know you can." Naruto assured heras she teared up more.

"I can't, I froze froze up there. This is the most embarrassing dayof my life, I walk around thinking I'm so cool.. But in real life I'mjust a loser." She admitted while Naruto looked at herintently.

"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I've only knownyou for a week and I can tell that's untrue. You're Cece Jones! TheKrystal McHotness, Cece Unsurprisable Jones! Cece Go With The FlowJones! You're one of the coolest people that I've ever met! There'sno on like you in the world. Sure you messed up and you think you'velost hope but you shouldn't think that! Not at all!

Because.. No one can be as cool as Cece Jones." He told her, wipingthe tears that leaked from her eyes. Soon she sniffed, smiling morethan she has before.

"Wow, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. You'rereally awesome Naruto." She smiled as Naruto grinned.

"Yeah. And you're not.. You're even more awesome." He stated earninga hug from his short companion.

"Thank you." She sniffed as Naruto kissed the top of her headsoothingly, making her face blush. Although Naruto did not see it, itdidn't mean he did not know she was doing it.

"Anytime Cece." He grins as they stayed in that position, holdingonto each other, not letting go until they both felt they could. Astime went by and as Cece held onto the tall blonde, she knew shecould discern at that moment, that she wanted Naruto to be a part ofher life. For as long as possible.

Rocky was standing at the entrance of the subway station, hearingevery word of what they said. She couldn't help but smile at thescene, they looked like they could truly belong with each other. Andas long as her best friend was happy, Rocky wouldn't ask for more.So, she walked away heading home, it seemed Naruto was someone whocould handle this situation.

* * *

><p>Rocky entered through Cece's window sill completely unready forher first official performance on Shake It Up Chicago.<p>

"Hey, hey, hey!" Rocky greeted noticing Cece looked irritated withwhat she had on.

"What? What are you still doing in your pj's!? I was about to pickyou up and take you to the show!" Cece said to the undisturbed Rocky

who poured in a glass of milk.

"I don't want to be on Shake It Up Chicago. I mean, it's going to beno fun without you." Rocky frowned as Cece grinnednonchalantly.

"Naruto's going to be there!" She said trying to brighten up herfriend's mood. Rocky only sighed.

"I don't like him like you do. Besides didn't you call dibs?" Rockyasked as Cece shrugged.

"Rocky. I may not be on Shake It Up Chicago, but I am still going tosupport you guys. We're all totally in this together."

"It doesn't matter, it's too late! I'm supposed to be there at 9 andit's already 8:30. I look like a zombie and I haven't even brushed myteeth." She frowned once more before feeling Cece tilt her head backto brush her teeth.

"We'll make it." Cece declared as she kept brushing Rocky's teeth,after a few minutes they both heard a knock at the door. Naruto soonopened it up to see the two girls in a particularly weird position.Although he didn't care about that as he saw Rocky wasn't dressed forthe show.

He stomped over there as he looked at his black Apple Watch inalarm.

"Why aren't you dressed!? The show starts in 30 minutes!" Narutogrilled as Cece nodded.

"That's what I said! Now can you please help me get Rocky ready? Ihave some spare clothes of hers in my room." Cece asked as Narutonodded.

"Yeah I'm on it." Naruto said marching off to the redhead's room asRocky raised an eyebrow. When did they get so close as for him to beallowed into Cece's room? Weird.. But it didn't matter she had to getready. She just hoped Naruto brought the hand cuffs..

* * *

><p>Lights were flashing, music was playing, and Gary was hosting asusual.<p>

"And your host.. GARY WILDE." The announcer called out as Garysprinted toward the stage in excitement.

"Hello Chicago! You're watching the show that has it all! New music,new videos, and the dance that you're going to be doing at hometomorrow! This is... SHAKE IT UP CHICAGO! I'm your host Gary Wildeand yes, I am this tall in real life!" Gary announced winking at thecamera as the music started playing.

**~Play: Our Generation, By Shake It Up**

_Rock rocking, we rock we're rock rocking.._

Naruto cuffed both of his wrists with two separate hand cuffs as he

gave Rocky a wink.

"Come with us!" She told Cece who frowned.

"I can't. I'm not on the show." She said disappointingly. Well, Rockyand Naruto were having none of it.

"Well we are. And like you told me, we're in this together!" Narutosaid cuffing her right wrist as Rocky cuffed the other.

"What- what are you doing?" She asked trying to shake away from thecuffs.

"We're not letting you miss the dream. Come on." Rocky said leadingthe both of them to the stage. Cece tried to resist but knew shecouldn't once she already found she was on stage.

"Where did you guys get the hand cuffs?" Cece asked examining theaccessory on her wrist.

"I bought them once Rocky told me what she needed it for. Like it ornot Cece, you're dancing with us. We'd rather be kicked off the showthan start without you. I really do think you have what it takes tobe the best dancer here." Naruto said intently looking at her browneyes with his genuine blue ones making the smaller girl flush.

"He's right. Now let's just dance." Rocky said as the three of themmoved to the beat. Soon, they all felt the music, feeling how theirbones moved to the rhythm of the music, how their bodies just flowedwith each other making all the dancers feel pity at the skill theyhave displayed. Even if one of them wasn't on the show. Although itdidn't matter. Because the way they danced dazed the audience athome, making them groove to the beat.

* * *

><p>"Wow, their dancing is pretty good." Ty complimented as Deucenodded, although in confusion.<p>

"Yeah.. But what is Cece doing on the show?" Ty soon blinked finallynoticing that also.

"I don't know, but for a girl who isn't on the show.. She's on theshow a lot!" Flynn mentally scoffed.

"Sure, she has time to dance on TV but she doesn't have time to pickup a lousy pack of bacon?!" He groaned as they continued to watch the3 teens.

* * *

><p>"Minato dance with me!" Kushina says doing the sprinkler whileMinato laughed at his wife's antics.<p>

"Sure!" He says as they both start dancing absolutely ridiculously.Soon they were both doing the salsa, even if the music wasn't thegenre they were dancing to.

But it didn't matter because they were having a blast!

* * *

><p>The dance has just ended as the trio took on a final posefinishing up the dance with their fluently graceful moves. Gary movedtoward the stage as he held up the mic with a grin.<p>

"That's right people they were dancing so good that.. It should beillegal! We'll be right back with more music, more dancing, and thepremiere of Usher's newest video right here, on Shake It Up Chicago!"Gary grinned as the camera cut off.

"And we're out.. 2 MINUTES PEOPLE!" The director said as Cecegasped.

"We totally just danced on TV..." Cece said widening her eyes.

"And we totally rocked it!" Rocky grinned as they walked off thestage.

"Girls.. Naruto!" Gary called out as the three froze.

"And we're totally getting thrown out of here!" Cece said nervouslyseeing Gary approach them.

"Well, well, well, that was quite a little show you three put on outthere." Gary said raising an eyebrow as Cece immediately tried totake the blame.

"Gary I'm sorry. But please don't fire Naruto and Rocky it's myfault." Cece declared before Naruto stood in front of them.

"No, she's just saying that so that we wouldn't lose out on this.It's entirely my fault. I supplied the hand cuffs and helped withputting Cece on stage. Blame it entirely on me. If there's anyone whoneeds to be fired, it's me. Cece definitely should be on this show,she is one of the most amazing dancers that I've ever seen." Narutodeclared widening everyone's eyes.

Before Gary scrunched up his nose and grinned.

"You're wrong. You are all amazing dancers. You've got the skill,you've got the look, but what you pulled out there was just weird andunexpected! And I liked it! I'll take in your word that she'll be onthe show Naruto. But if you three pull something like that again youare off the show. You guys got that whole IT factor. Our audience isgoing to eat you up!" Gary claimed walking away. The trio soon lookedat each other calmly before bursting with dancing excitement.

As Gary turned around he was soon faced with the Hessenheffersiblings, almost colliding with Gunther's face.

"We would like to be eaten." Gunther grinned making the three of themblink at his words.

"Who are you?" Gary asked already irritated.

"I am Gunther."

"And I am Tinka-"

"And I don't care." Gary mocked walking away to start the showagain.

"Thank you Gary, we won't let you down!" Rocky and Cece chorusedmaking Naruto chuckle. The director soon came in counting down tostart the show.

"AND IN 5! 4! 3!-"

"Let's do this thing." Cece smiled looking toward Naruto andRocky.

"Hold on, we got to unlock the hand cuffs first." Naruto said tryingto take the key out of his pocket. But finding no luck since movinghis wrist also moved the girls' wrists.

"Um.. I can't get it, you think you both could look at which pocketit is in?" Naruto laughed sheepishly as the duo blushed from thequestion. They both reached down into Naruto's jean pockets as Cecefound the key. She unlocked Rocky's handcuff and unlocked her own,also unlocking Naruto's in the process. They all smile at each otherbefore heading out onto the stage, to give the audience a dance theycould remember.

Rock rocking, we rock we're rock rocking..

The trio danced, and kept dancing until the show ended, leaving themwith questions on what to do next, on where life will take them, buttwo certain individuals also had questions on how they felt abouteach other. Were they starting to think they were more than friendsand can pursue a romantic relationship? Or were they doomed to live aloveless life?

They will most likely find out in the near future, on the next timeof, Shake It Up With Naruto.

**(A:N That is officially the longest chapter I will ever write. AndI have to say it felt pretty nice to finally get this done. Narutointeracted with Cece a whole lot in this chapter. Making theircharacters develop from acquaintances to good friends. But thequestion is, when will they be more? Who knows? Hehe, I actually do..Also should I let Rocky also be in this pairing? Vote in the ReviewSection! Also please review to tell me what I should fix and what youliked or disliked about this chapter. Oh and thank you for reading! Ihope you have a pleasant day.)**
