The students of Konoha High were all assembled in the auditorium for a special assembly called for by their principal, Tsunade.
"I wonder why we're here..." Hinata said ever so timidly.
"What do you think?? Maybe she's announcing something important, like she's quitting!" Ino squealed, clapping her hands with delight.
"INO," Sakura admonished, "that's really mean.."
"B-but...she made me go to detention for having such a short skirt!!" Ino wailed.
Hinata, Tenten, and Sakura all sweatdropped.
Tenten said, "Stop it, guys. I think that Tsunade's ready to announce something."
The four girls turned to face Tsunade as she started tapping the microphone to get everyone's attention.
"Ahem, good morning, Konoha High students!" Tsunade greeted, "I have a very important announcement to make. For the first time ever, we will be having a graduation dance!!"
The whole student body erupted into cheers as everyone began chattering excitedly.
"WAIT, WAIT!! SHUT UP EVERYBODY!!" Tsunade screamed, "One more thing: everyone has to have dates!"
xXx
"Oh, shoot!" Sasuke dove into the boys' bathroom just in time to avoid a stampede of rampant fan girls only to meet the mischievous faces of Neji, Naruto, and Shikamaru.
"Oh, hey, Sasuke!" Naruto greeted, "having fun with your fan club of obnoxious girls?"
Sasuke gave Naruto a death glare, then turned away and said, "Hn."
Neji put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder and stoically said, "I feel your pain, dude. I'm in this bathroom for the same reason you are," and gave a low chuckle.
"You know, guys," Shikamaru drawled, "I know it would be a drag, but we'll have to choose some girls for dates if we wanna go to that dance."
"That'll be easy for me," Naruto grinned, "I have so many fan girls! Believe it!"
Shikamaru sweatdropped and said, "No, you don't, Naruto, no girl actually likes you."
Sasuke bonked on Naruto's head and said in a mocking tone, "Yeah, get some sense in your head, dobe!"
"Oi, teme, you want a piece of me??" Naruto angrily growled.
"Hn," Sasuke replied, "I'm too cool to even be talking to the likes of you."
"Take that back, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled.
Sasuke teasingly replied, "Oh, and what if I don't?"
The two began fighting furiously, and once again, for the 3rd time that day, Neji and Shikamaru had to break up the fight.
xXx
"Ok, girls, we SO gotta find hot dates!" Ino said.
"How about we pick one guy to each aim for?" Tenten suggested.
"U-um...if you don't mind, can I go for Naruto-kun?" Hinata shyly asked.
Sakura pumped her fist in the air and yelled, "Ino-pig, I'm so gonna get Sasuke to take me to the dance instead of you!"
Ino shrugged her shoulders and calmly replied, "Actually, Forehead Girl, I don't really care anymore. I'm over that chicken-haired jerk."
Tenten's eyes nearly flew out of her head and her jaw dropped to the ground, "WAT??"
Ino said, "Yup, it's true. I'm over Sasuke, and I'm going for his cute friend..." she blushed a little, "Shika-kun.."
"Ugh, I guess that leaves me with Neji..." Tenten said, "but I guess I don't really mind." (A/N: hint hint)
xXx
"Ok, Naruto, pick someone to go to the dance with," Neji bluntly stated.
"I pick...Sakura! I've always liked the color pink." Naruto grinned.
"Do I have to?" Sasuke pleaded.
All the other boys solemnly nodded their heads, and Sasuke's face held a terrified expression quickly replaced by a fake, calm one.
"I guess...maybe Tenten?? At least she's not one of my fangirls. And she's pretty hot too." Sasuke sighed.
Shikamaru drawled, "Tch, how troublesome. I pick Hinata. She's quiet, too, and she doesn't bother me."
Neji said, "I'll go for Ino then. I've always liked blonds and it would be fun trying to date someone who I know isn't my fangirl."
"Ok, it's decided! I'll go for Sakura, Sasuke will go for Tenten, Shikamaru will go for Hinata, and Neji will go for Ino!" Naruto yelled, "Now who wants to get some ramen?"

(The Next Day)
.:Sakura's POV:.
I woke up this morning and I decided to look a little different today to impress Sasuke-kun. Instead of wearing glasses, I wore contacts. I put a little butterfly clip in my hair and also straightened my shoulder-length hair.
I slipped on a red halter top that I was always too scared to wear until now, and some skinny dark jeans underneath. I grinned at myself in the mirror, and left for school.
'I am definitely gonna make Sasuke Uchiha fall in love with me today,' I thought.
.:Hinata's POV:.
Today was the day that I needed to get myself a date with Naruto-kun, and I wanted to look prettier than usual. I put glitter in my hair and a white headband.
I wore a dark blue babydoll top, a white long-sleeved shrug on top of it, and some jean shorts. I went downstairs to leave for school, and I spotted Neji with his mouth agape at my clothes.
"Are you ok, Neji-nii-san?" I asked.
"Uh..yes, Hinata-sama. You look very pretty today." He answered.
I giggled and replied, "Thank you, cousin."
.:Tenten's POV:.
This morning, I decided that Neji wouldn't like someone who dressed like too much like a tomboy, so I put on a t-shirt that said "This is what cool looks like, so deal with it". I also wore jean capris that were rolled up at the end.
I, for once, took down my hair and tied it into a twisted half-ponytail.
"Tenten, time to go to school!" my mother called.
"Coming, mom!" I yelled back.
.:Ino's POV:.
Wanting to impress Shika-kun, I pulled my hair into a slick side-ponytail, and slipped on a denim newsboy hat.
I wore a plaid blue long shirt-dress (you guys know what I'm talking about, right?), and black leggings underneath.
Finally, it was time to go to school!
xXx
(At School)
At promptly 7:50 AM, 10 minutes before school started, all 4 girls walked into the building and all said at the same time, "Wow! You look great!"
Naruto came by to the girls and Hinata said, "Hi, Naruto-kun!"
"Yeah, yeah," Naruto distractedly replied and pushed past Hinata. "Wow, Sakura, you look amazing!"
Inside, Hinata was fuming, and Sakura was confused as to why Naruto complimented her and not Hinata.
"Thanks, Naruto, but I don't accept compliments from losers," Sakura coldly replied.
Inwardly, Sakura was hurt, but this was the only way to make sure that Hinata got the date with Naruto, not her.
Naruto looked shocked. Hinata comforted him, "It's ok, Naruto-kun, I'm sure Sakura-chan doesn't mean that, right??"
Sakura just turned on her heel in a snooty fashion and strutted away.
Tenten and Ino had been watching this scene play out, puzzled.
xXx
(1st Lunch Period)
After literature, Tenten, Neji, Sasuke, Ino, and Shikamaru had a lunch period together.
As soon as Neji saw Tenten, he thought, 'Oh, wow, Tenten looks especially hot today. No, wait, snap out of it! You're supposed to be going for Ino, not Tenten!'
When Shikamaru sat down at the group's usual lunch table, Ino plopped herself next to him. To be honest, Shikamaru was a little surprised.
"Do you mind if I sit here, Shika-kun?" Ino pouted.
'Well, I guess it couldn't hurt since Hinata doesn't have the same lunch period.' he thought.
"No, got ahead." he smiled and Ino instantly melted.
But, Neji, thinking that he should be sitting next to Ino, sat on the other side of her.
Then, Tenten sat next to Neji.
Then, Sasuke sat next to Tenten.
Shikamaru asked, "Um, guys? This table is getting a little squishy, especially if the other side is empty!"
There were a few mumbles of "sure" and "yeah" and "whatever", but still, nobody moved.
Finally, Ino and Tenten moved over to the other side.
"So, umm.. Ino, are you going to the dance?" Neji asked.
"Umm...yeah, I guess, but no frickin' way I'm going with you! I hate boys that look like girls!!" Ino replied haughtily.
Neji felt hurt, but quickly caught himself and answered calmly, "I never said that I wanted to go with you, Miss Snooty Pants."
xXx
(2nd Lunch Period)
Only Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura had this lunch period, and Sakura was still giving Naruto the silent treatment.
"Come on, Sakura-chan, are you sure you don't wanna go to the dance with me? I mean, look at my handsome face!" Naruto pleaded.
"Hmph," Sakura said, "No way I would go to the dance with trash like you."
Hinata shot Sakura a grateful look.
"S-so, Naruto-kun, would you go to—" Hinata began but fainted.
xXx
(End of School; Nurse's Office)
Hinata groggily opened her eyes to find herself in a strange room with white walls and a white bed.
"Where the heck am I?" she wondered aloud.
Suddenly, the door was thrown back, and the whole gang came in with worried looks.
"Look, Hinata's awake!" Ino exclaimed happily.
"W-what happened to me?" Hinata asked.
"You just fainted during lunch!!" Naruto yelled worriedly right into Hinata's face.
"NARUTO!! I told you to keep away from my cousin, at least 5 ft, ok?" Neji said with twitching eyes.
"Y-yes, Neji," Naruto whimpered as he slowly backed away from Hinata's flushed face.
xXx
(Sakura's House)
"Tenten, it was a really good idea to have a meeting to talk about the dating plan and the boys." Sakura said.
"So, girls, how is it going?" Ino said.
"I was gonna ask him at lunch, but th-then," Hinata said, "I fainted."
"It's ok, Hinata. At least you tried," Sakura said, "I couldn't talk to Sasuke all day because we don't have any classes together."
"I was gonna ask Shika-kun, but I didn't have the nerve," Ino said.
Tenten said, "I couldn't ask because Ino and Neji were fighting the whole time!"
"Ino, why were you fighting with Neji-nii-san?" Hinata inquired.
Ino defensively replied, "He came on to me, asking me if I was going to the dance. When I said not with him, he called me Miss Snooty Pants."
"Weird..." Sakura said, "Oh, you know what? Naruto came onto me today, too!"
"Hmm...and Sasuke tried to sit next to me today! He never does that!" Tenten exclaimed.
"WHAT'S GOING ON??" they chorused.

Rose: Oh, man, that was hard work!!
Chelsea: Easy for you to say! Editing this is hard work, too!
