Your Invited

Tenten was in a good mood when she awoke that morning. She had slept well and had the day off. Strangely most of her friends had the day of too. Usually when she got time off none of her friends were available.

She waltzed into her kitchen in her oversized sleep t-shirt and loose sleep shorts. She actually caught herself humming as she pulled out her corn pops and milk. She had just sat down when she heard a knock at her apartments door.

Tenten gracefully got up and walked to the door. Who could be visiting her so early in the ... wait, it was almost two o'clock.

She opened the door to see a large white box in front of her door, with an envelope set on top. She looked down the hallway to see who had left it, but she saw no one.

"Hn," she said aloud and then grabbed the box and brought it into her apartment.

She set the box on her table, almost knocking over her cereal, but thankfully it didn't spill. Tenten then plopped down onto her seat and grabbed the envelope. She opened it and pulled out a fancy invitation. It read:

Miss Tenten,

You are cordially invited to the Grand Ball in the Konaha Mansion. A car will be sent at seven of the evening to pick you up. Please where the clothing in the box and wear your hair down.

There was no signature. Tenten hmphed again and wondered what on earth this Grand Ball was, and why she hadn't heard of it before. Then she realized her cereal had gotten soggy.

So much for her good mood.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

Sakura Haruno was startled out of her book when she heard the phone ring. She had been outside sitting and enjoying some long overdue sun. She jumped up and ran to grab the phone.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey Sakura, it's Ino. Did you get an invitation by chance?"

"Invitation? What invitation?"

"The one that came on top of a big giant box filled with a dress?" she said as if I had a clue what she was talking about.

"Ino? What are you talking about?"

"You didn't get a delivery this morning?"

"I did, but it was a parcel from Suna."

"Check outside your front door."

"Why Ino?"

"Just do it."

The pink haired girl sighed and walked over to her front door. She opened it to reveal a large white box with an envelope on top.

Shikamaru tugged me closer as I tried to manoeuvre my way out of bed. He for sure wasn't making this any easier. I sighed, he was being so troublesome, as he'd say. I really wanted to have a shower. My sandy blonde hair felt disgusting. So I did a quick roll and broke his grasp. Then I rolled completely off the bed. I breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Until of course I realize I couldn't move. He'd caught me in his shadows.

"Shikamaru!" I whined.

"And where do you think you're going my desert flower?" he asked, sliding over to the edge of his bed.

"I need a shower!"

"I think you smell fine," he said as he climbed on top of me. Horny little bastard he was!

"Shika!"

He kissed me so passionately that I gave out a small moan. He kissed me again, once more, and even a few more times. Soon we were rolling around on the floor fighting for dominance. I would not be topped by this man! At least not before I had a shower.

Then the doorbell rang.

"Ignore it!" said Shikamaru against my lips.

I took this as my opportunity to bolt for the shower while he was distracted. I ran full out into the bathroom and speedily locked the door.

Still on the floor, Shikamaru sighed aloud and said,
"Oh how troublesome you are Temari."

He got up and walked to the front door. He opened the door to see two large white boxes and an envelope.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

Little did the ninja of Konaha know that all jounin, ANBU, and Naruto had received a large white box and an invitation. Now what was to become of this night?


AN:/ Not all ninja will be present, I don't think I'd be able to write them all in. So it will be the popular characters.

I have no idea where I got this idea from. I thought of it while watching TV.

Oh and the spelling and stuff may be off, but I did write it on my iPod Touch, so autocorrect doesn't always correct it the right way ...

Spaz out!
