So, I feel old... I haven't been big into Naruto in such a long time. A friend of mine started watching the series, and I've been watching it with her, and I'm starting to get into it again. Haha. So! I could not resist making this little story. I'll have a separate chapter for each male genin/chunin character as I finish writing it (i.e. Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Gaara, Kankuro, Lee, Neji, etc, etc. Not necessarily in that order.) I hate the _-chan stuff, so I gave the FemOC a name. Feel free to read it as a different name, if you want. Not much of a character description for her in this story, other than her personality which changes to fit each partner she gets.

Anyway, enjoy! C:

"Rena-chan!" you heard a female voice call from behind. Turning around, you saw Sakura jogging toward you, a smile on her face. "Rena, guess what's happening this weekend!"

"Uh... Your team is going on another awesome mission?" you asked, referring to the mission given by the bridge builder. You were a little jealous that she got to go on such a dangerous mission because of such an idiotic fluke.

"Nope, even better!" She pulled a medium piece of paper out of her pouch and handed it to you. 'You are cordially invited', the card read in large, fancy print, followed by 'Sakura Haruno's thirteenth birthday party'. "My birthday party is this Saturday! I hope you'll come." She gave her puppy-dog eyes, which she was awful at, and you just rolled your eyes at her.

"Sure, I don't have anything better to do any way."

"Yay!" Sakura cheered, jumping up and down a few times. "I'll see you then, I have to finish handing out the invites. Bye!" She ran off with a wave before disappearing into the crowd. You looked at the card again before stuffing it into your own bag.

...

Saturday rolled in rather quickly. You went to the party. Everything was fine and dandy, if not a little bit boring. Naruto was causing a ruckus, as per usual. Sasuke was avoiding the flock of girls that seemed to be stuck on him like insects to fly paper. And everyone else was chatting away with their friends and acquaintances. Not a bad party, but not very eventful.

"Rena," Sakura said as she walked up to you with a smile, Ino at her side. "I'm glad you made it. I have a question for you."

"Rena, tell Sakura that her party blows," Ino cut in, earning a glare from the pink-haired girl.

"Well, I wouldn't say that..." you muttered, looking back and forth between the two girls. You really had no interest in being put in between their constant bickering.

"See, she's not having any fun at all!" Ino exclaimed.

"She didn't say that, Ino-pig," Sakura grounded out.

"She's just trying to be polite, since it's your birthday and all," Ino replied, patting Sakura on the back. "But, don't worry. I'll help you liven it up. What do you say, Rena, wanna help?"

"What did you have in mind?" you asked skeptically.

"Four words," Ino said excitedly. "Seven Minutes in Heaven!"

...

After getting everyone to consent to the game, every guy in the room wrote something on a piece of paper and dropped it into a hat. Ino swirled the papers around, mixing them up well, before holding the hat out to you.

"Me?" you asked, blushing slightly as you stared down at the hat.

"Yeah!" Ino cheered. "Sakura wouldn't have agreed to it if it weren't for you, so you get first pick!"

"Shouldn't the birthday girl go first?" you insisted, turning to Sakura for help. The pink-haired girl shook her head.

"You go first, Rena," she said, a smile on her face. "I insist."

You took a deep breath and reached into the hat, pulling out a slip of paper. You unfolded it, looked down at the paper, and read aloud the word that was written down...
