Okay, I haven't updated the poll results in a while, so here's how it stands as of today: Itachi, 9 votes Deidara, 8 votes Hidan, 6 votes and Sasori, 4 votes. Thanks to everybody for voting! I'm closing the poll in a few days.

Oh and I also have to make the announcement that I'm getting a kitty in a few months and I'm soooooo excited!!!!!!

Okay….new chapter……

"I thought they were asleep in Hidan's room?" Kisame whispered to Zetsu.

"Nah, after Lola finished her sandwich they came back down here, and fell asleep during the replay of the Seahawks and Vikings game." Zetsu whispered back.

"Well, how long has that sea of blond been asleep in the chair?" Kisame asked referring to Deidara, and the fact that Marisol was curled up on his lap.

"Now that, I have no idea. Hey, come here, look how much it snowed last night." Zetsu said pointing outside.

"Oh my god…I gotta get….." Zetsu cut Kisame off.

"No…you don't need to get the snow blower yet. Why don't you make yourself useful and start cooking our annual New Years Day breakfast.

"I'll wake them up!" Kisame said.

"Oh, and a snow blower won't!? Here come on, I'll help you get all the crap out." Zetsu said opening the refrigerator to get eggs. "Alright, here eggs, and butter to start. Orange juice, maybe this milk. Oh strawberries! Cheese…..here put this shredded cheese in the eggs." Zetsu was handing stuff to Kisame.

"Bread…..hey should we make pancakes?" Kisame wondered.

"Why the hell wouldn't we make pancakes?" Zetsu asked.

"I don't know." Kisame said sitting the pancake mix on the counter. Here's the pancake syrup. Zetsu, Zetsu we need sausage or bacon or something. We always have that New Year's Day." Kisame said.

"Oh yeah, well let me look deeper in the fridge. Dude, we have both let's make both!" Zetsu insisted.

"Okay. Oh and French toast! Let's make French toast…you know for fun." Kisame said.

"Yeah, yeah alright and breakfast potatoes! Let's make breakfast potatoes!" Zetsu insisted. It was obvious Kisame and Zetsu were going to play chef this morning. Meanwhile, upstairs Tobi, Kakuzu and Hidan were the first ones awake. Surprisingly, Kakuzu and Hidan weren't fighting yet. However, a sleepy Tobi managed to fall down the stairs, which immediately woke Deidara and Marisol. Somehow, Sasori and Lola managed to sleep right through the fallen Tobi.

"Damn it Tobi! Why are you always so loud? Can't you see me and Kisame as trying to prepare breakfast quietly?" Zetsu scolded him.

"Hi everyone!" Marisol said sleepily.

"Aww, look Marisol, Kisame is fixing our New Year's Day breakfast, yeah!" Deidara said still trying to wake up."

"Oh my god, this is going to be one hell of a breakfast, seriously." Hidan said looking at the spread that Kisame and Zetsu had cluttered up the kitchen with.

"I'll set the table." Hidan offered pulling plates out of the kitchen cabinet. Lola was next to wake from last night's drunken escapades.

"Oh god….damn….last night was…..freakin insane……good stuff…..goooood stuff." Lola said stretching out. Of course, as she awoke Sasori was in the process of waking up as well. But her accidentally hitting him in the head didn't help.

"Oh…..oh….oh….shit…..sorry honey." She still didn't have her senses about her.

"Deidara, I'm going to see if Princess needs her water changed and then I'm going to come upstairs to get dressed, will you get me something out to wear?" Marisol asked.

"Of course, I will, yeah." But as Deidara proceeded upstairs he realized what was going on in the kitchen. "Oh my god, there is food….everywhere, yeah."

"Can't you see that we're making breakfast?" Kisame asked.

"Well, I can now, yeah." Deidara said.

"Please, for the love of god tell me you have a pot of coffee brewed." Sasori asked still barely awake.

"Yeah, we uh….we have coffee. Oh my god Zetsu put a pot on fast, now, now, now!" Kisame whispered, knowing very well that the hung over Sasori would be a raging dragon if he didn't have his coffee.

"I'm hurrying, shit where the hell are the filters?" Both Zetsu and Kisame would have to clamber around to get that coffee started immediately.

"New Year, new me…..my hips don't lie. God I look good with Dana's scent all over me and this lusciously gorgeous black hair I mean, Sasuke only wishes he looked this good." Itachi announced as he made his way downstairs. "Hey we didn't put our New Year's resolutions on the refrigerator like we always do. I'll start the list. My resolution is to not call Sasuke a bitch so much." Itachi wrote that down and gave the tablet to Tobi. Tobi thought very hard about his resolution.

"My resolution is to make my bed every day!" Tobi announced. Tobi handed over the tablet to Hidan.

"Seriously, my resolution is to spread the word of Jasshin to at least 14 people." Hidan passed it along to Kakuzu.

"My resolution is to save thirty dollars a month." Kakuzu passed it to Sasori.

"Talk to grandma once a week." Sasori said groggily scribbling that down on paper. Now it was Lola's turn.

"Fire my assistant. Here, Hidan take this to Kisame." Lola threw the tablet on the floor.

"Hmmm, you know I'm going to workout every day." Kisame stated. And now for Zetsu…

"I will stay out of the plant food." He promised. Everyone would have to wait to learn everyone else's resolutions." As for breakfast, the potatoes were cooking, the strawberries were washed, most of the meat was sizzling and Pein was….what appeared to be a failed attempt to swipe Sasori's comforter.

"What the hell are you doing?" Itachi asked.

"I'm…..washing this blanket….and these sheets and these pillow cases and anything else me and Konan slept on in Sasori's bed." Pein explained. Itachi eyed him suspiciously.

"What did you do?" Itachi asked. Pein looked around.

"You um….you really don't want to know…just cover me so I can get all of this washed and put in its place again."

"Oh my god! You will so never believe what I did in the shower, yeah! I was like all washing my hair and then….I so got tons of shampoo in my eyes, yeah. How stupid is that? It's like I'm dumb or something." Dana said as she pranced down the stairs.

"Dana, you need to write your New Year's resolution on this tablet." Itachi told her.

"Oh okay. Hmmmmm….my resolution is to organize my clothes by color, yeah!" Dana thought it was a great New Years' resolution.

"Alright, here take this pot of coffee to Sasori and Lola." Kisame handed the pot over as he cooked away in the kitchen. Konan had emerged from the bedroom upstairs.

"God, that is one kick ass mattress. I swear I was out last night. I have never fallen asleep that quickly. Oh am I supposed to write my New Year's resolution on this tablet?" Konan asked anyone who would answer.

"Yes, write it down and go ahead to the table because breakfast is getting closer." Kisame said.

"My resolution….is to try to have a baby."

"What the hell Konan?" Hidan asked.

"I said TRY." She reiterated. After what had seemed like a very long morning, the giant breakfast was finished. Pein's resolution was to beat the leader at racquetball, Marisol's resolution was to always refill the soap bottles, and Deidara's resolution was to clean the pool out every day during the summer. It was only a matter of time now before everyone was gathered around the dining room table for their first breakfast together for the new year.

And here's a preview of my next story, an idea given to me by someone who had messaged me a while back. I am VERY SORRY I forget who gave me this idea because they deserve the credit. Anyway, thanks so much to everyone for reading and now the first story of 2008: A Typical Day with Akatsuki. First chapter coming soon!!
