*The mission's twilight fades into the sterile glow of a dilapidated hotel room. Kakashi is absent, leaving Team 7 in awkward silence. Naruto, ever the catalyst, spots a discarded glass bottle amidst the trash.* **Naruto**: How about we play the bottle game?! *He retrieves it with a grin. Sasuke scoffs, arms crossed.* **Sasuke**: Tch.... **Sakura**: If Sasuke plays, I play!! **Naruto**: He must not know the rules *sticks out tongue* **Sasuke**: Tch. I'm not stupid. We spin it, it lands on someone, then another. Then a challenge.
