Authors Note: No..I do not own Naruto. Only this story, which revolves around the characters.
Summary: Sakura had never been one to be girly. Well, not until her best friends fiancee decided to give her a tuxedo to wear to the wedding instead of a dress. What's up with that anyways?
Sai held out a small tuxedo as the four other boys and Sakura stared at it in shock.
'Did he forget I was a girl or something? What the hell?!'
As usual, Naruto spoke everyone's question.
"Uh, Sai, I don't know if you've noticed, but Sakura-chan is a girl."
"Ugly? So what? It's just she's just too tomboy-ish and would probably want to wear a tuxedo to the wedding anyways. So I saved us all the trouble and got this done." he explained.
"Gee, thanks Sai. I can see you know me really well." she noted sarcastically as she rolled her eyes and fumed.
Flashback
Five boys stood there across the basketball court, waiting for a response from the pink haired girl that seemed to ignore them. Black onyx eyes narrowed at the thought of being ignored.
"Hey Pinky! You deaf or what?! Can you pass us the ball?" he yelled none too politely.
Sakura's eyebrows twitched as she turned her head towards them and glared mercilessly with her emerald green eyes.
She was not in the best of moods. First she had to skip breakfast because her mother dearest thought she needed more sleep and forgot to wake her up! Then during lunch some stupid kid knocked her food off the table, and now when she could finally go home and get something to eat, some stupid boys were bugging her to get their basketball!
"Stupid lazy asses." she muttered while picking up the basketball.
A boy with long hair tied into a low ponytail walked forward to get it but paused as he was questioned for his motives.
"Neji, what are you doing?" questioned a dense looking blonde.
"Isn't it obvious Naruto? She's a girl. She probably can't even throw the ball this far, much less make a shot if she were to play."
Sakura, who had heard this loud and clear yelled from her spot across the court.
"Wanna bet on that pretty boy?"
The boys all turned to look at her as the ball left her hand and landed perfectly into the hoop. They all glanced to the hoop, then back at her, all shocked that a girl could make a shot across the court.
"What the hell! That's not possible!" yelled the loud blonde known as Naruto.
"Face it dobe, she's good." Sasuke muttered.
A boy with a lazy expression set on his face spoke up. From what she heard from her best friend, his name was Shikamaru. The lazy genius with an IQ of more than 200.
"Hey, what's your name?"
Sakura, who was currently smirking at the hoop turned her head to him.
"Sakura. Sakura Haruno."
"Hey Ugly! Care to play a game?"
Sakura glared at the boy who had just spoken, then looked back at the one who had called her pinky.
"Are you two related or something? You guys could be twins." she stated.
"That guy who could be my 'twin' is Sasuke. I'm Sai. But I believe you haven't answered my question."
"No thanks. I'm hungry as hell and I'd rather not waste my time with you lazy asses."
"One game."
Sakura looked at Sasuke. He hadn't spoken since he had called her pinky.
"And if I refuse?" she challenged.
This time Naruto answered, "We'll treat you to anything you want."
All heads turned to the blonde as he shrugged and responded, "I wanna see how good she is."
"Alright. One game"
Two Hours Later
"Ne, Sakura-chan! You're really good!" Naruto praised as they made their way towards a burger joint.
"Uh, thanks Naruto."
Truth be told, she hadn't felt this comfortable with a guy in years, and suddenly she was comfortable around 5 of them? It didn't make any sense to her, but she decided not to question it. She smiled though. It seemed like the start of a beautiful friendship. The only thing was, how was Ino going to take it?
"WHAT?! You became friends with all of them?! Do you know what this means Sakura?!" Sakura's platinum blonde, best friend yelled in excitement, as Sakura recalled what happened.
They were currently sitting in Sakura's room as she repeated what had happened merely hours before.
"Uh, I don't have to act so girly anymore?" Sakura answered questioningly.
"NO! You have to dress girly. You're too tomboy-ish for your own good! But that's not the point. The point is, you're friends with the hottest guys in school!"
"Yeah? So?"
"So? SO?! Anyone would die to be in your position forehead-girl!" Ino informed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really care Ino-pig. Anyways, we're playing a game tomorrow after school. Care to watch me beat them into dust?" Sakura asked as she smirked at imagining the boys faces when it happens.
"Didn't you do that today?"
"Nah. I was too hungry to play at my best. Besides, all the better to shock them with ne?"
"Okay. I'll be there." Ino told her as they walked out of Sakura's room and into the kitchen.
The next day, Ino came and watched her best friend pulverize the boys, all the while hitting it off with Sai.
End Flashback
After that day, Sai and Ino became closer, became a couple of 6 years, and were now currently engaged.
Which brought her to her current problem.
Had Sakura really acted so much like a boy all these years that Sai would go through all the trouble to get her a tuxedo? She looked down at her clothing and sighed. She was wearing sweats and a shirt that was probably two sizes too big! Of course he would.
That day she left Sai's apartment and immediately called Ino.
"Ino-pig? I think it's time for a change."
Ino smirked.
"About time forehead-girl."
Sakura could practically hear Ino's smirk over the telephone. Something told her that this change was gonna be more than she expected.
Authors Note: How was it? Sorry if it seems rushed! It's 1:30 in the morning and I just wanted to get this finished. There wasn't any couples showing in here (aside from Ino and Sai), but it'll be in the next chapter! Anyways, please tell me what you think, I'd really appreciate it!
