Chapter 1

Sakura's POV:

"I can't decide on what to wear. Sakura, what should I wear?" whined my youngest sister, Ino, who's 14.

"I told you to wear the purple one. Besides, it's just a school dance that's hosted by Shikamaru, Neji, and Deidara." I said rolling my eyes at her.

"Ooooo.....somebody's got a crush on who.....Shikamaru?" teased Tenten, who was 16 and was the middle child.

"What?! Noway! What gave you that idea? I mean we're just friends, right?" she said blushing furiously. We stared at her knowing she would confess any minute. "Oh, who am I kidding. I like him, ok? I mean he's so cute and he's very sweet............oh please don't tell him."

"We wouldn't do that, sis. You can tell him when the time is right." I said holding the green dress out to her. She took it and went into the bathroom to change. When Ino came out she looked like a fairy tale princess. "I told you you'd look great in the purple one." I said smirking then I went over to my closet and put on a pink dress. Tenten on the other hand was wearing a beautiful green dress.

We headed to the dance. When we got there we walked over to the punch bowl not expecting to run into the guys. Neji was the first one to notice.

"Hey, Deidara, Shikamaru. Look, it's the girls." Neji said nudging them.

Deidara and Shikamaru turned around. "Wow." Deidara said staring at me.

"Double wow." Shikamaru said staring at Ino. Neji was staring at Tenten.

"Hey, Neji. What are you staring at?" Tenten said curiously.

"Oh..uh....nothing. You look....wow." Neji said not knowing what else to say.

"Um...thanks. You look wow yourself." she said smiling.

"Do uh.... you...uh... want to....er..um....uh... dance." he asked his face turning red.

"Sure." she said and dragged him out to the dance floor.

Shikamaru and Ino went a lot smoother. It took them about three seconds before they went out on the dance floor. Now it was just me and Deidara. I could feel my face redden.

Deidara's POV:

"So....um...you look..cool, un." I said trying not to have a nosebleed.

"Cool? What am I thinking, un! She looks amazing and all I could say was cool. Smooth, Deidara, un."

"Um....you look cool, too." she said smiling.

"Just ask her to dance. Come on, it's not that hard, un!"

"Do you want to dance?" I said feeling my face turn red.

"Yea, I'd like that." Sakura said still smiling.

Sakura's POV:

When we walked over to the dance floor, Deidara tripped over his shoelace and knocked Neji, Tenten, Ino, and Shikamaru down. I couldn't help but laugh. Seeing everyone piled up like that was hilarious. Deidara got up and bent down to help Shikamaru up and his pants ripped. Deidara stood up and hurried out of the gym. Neji and I followed. We walked outside and saw Deidara sitting on a bench with his head in his hands.

"Deidara, are you alright?" Neji asked sitting down beside him.

"No, I'm not alright, Neji, un. I tried to impress Sakura and I messed up big. Now she probably thinks I'm a big clutz, un. I wish I could tell her how much I love her." Deidara said his head still down not knowing I was standing right there. I was shocked at what I had just heard.

"You just told her." Neji said simply.

Deidara looked up, "I what, un?!" then he saw me. His face turned red. "Well, now you know."

"Um....I'm going to leave you two alone." Neji said and walked back into the gym.

"Deidara?" I said putting my hand on his shoulder. He looked up. "I don't think you're a clutz. I think it's cute that you tried to impress me. What do you say we go back inside and dance?"

"I can't, un. My pants are ripped, remember?" he said smiling a little. "But I think Neji has a spare in the car, un."

"Why does--- nevermind. I don't think I want to know." I said giggling. Deidara walked over to the car and got the pants and we walked back inside and he went into the restroom to change.

Meanwhile....Shikamaru and Ino were sitting on the bleachers. Ino had her head on Shikamaru's shoulder listening to her iPod. Shikamaru was daydreaming about Ino from the looks of it. Neji and Tenten were slow dancing. They looked so cute together. I sat in a corner waiting for Deidara. He walked out of the restroom and over to me.

"Ok. Now I can dance with you, un." he said smiling then he held out his hand and we walked over to the dance floor and we began to slow dance.

When the dance was over, Neji drove my sisters and me home. Tenten and Ino went inside, but before I could walk inside too, Deidara got out of the car and ran up to me then he gave me a quick peck on the lips before he went back to the car and waved good-bye. I waved slightly and then as they drove off I touched my lips not believing Deidara had kissed me. I walked inside and got in bed and gazed up at my ceiling. Thinking of what had happened today, slowly I drifting off to sleep.

"Sakura, wake up! Deidara's here!" Tenten said shaking me.

"What?!" I said springing out of bed then I walked over to the mirror. "Why is he here? Oh, great. My hair looks like tornado hit it. Hey Tenten, throw me the brush."

"Well, somebody's trying to impress somebody." Tenten cooed.

"Oh, shut up, Tenten. Go and tell Deidara I'll be there in a minute and stay out of my room." I said getting a little annoyed.

"Rude, much. Oh, and Ino thought Deidara was a burgler and threw a baseball at his head. So right now he's sitting on the couch with an icepack on his head. Ino is begging for Deidara's forgiveness." Tenten said turning around and shutting the door.

I could hear her running down the stairs and apparently falling because there was a loud THUMP! I rolled my eyes and put on a pair of jeans and a Green Day T-shirt. I walked downstairs to find Deidara sitting on the couch groaning in pain and there was Ino saying sorry about a million times. I sat down beside him.

"Hey, what happened?" I asked even though I already knew.

"Ino threw a baseball at my head. I think I just lost 72 IQ points, un." he said putting the icepack down and rubbing his head.

"I didn't think you had any IQ points to begin with." Tenten laughed.

"Tenten!" I said trying not to laugh and throwing a pillow at her, but of course she caught it and threw it back at me. She ended up hitting Deidara in the head, and at that precise moment Shikamaru walked in and looked over at Deidara who was clutching his head.

"What are you trying to do? Kill him?" he said walking over to Deidara and sitting down beside him. "If that's the case you're not doing a very good job at it."

"Hey! Who's side are you on, un?" Deidara said pushing Shikamaru off the couch and making him fall on Ino.

Shikamaru got up and blushed. He helped Ino up. "Sorry. Are you ok?"

"I am now." Ino said blushing a little then resumed to begging Deidara for his forgiveness.

"So. Why'd you come over?" I asked then I glared at Tenten knowing that she would make some kind of comment.

"I came here because I wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner with us tonight, un." Deidara said recovering from being hit in the head with a baseball and a pillow got up and dragged me into the kitchen. "Look the real reason I came over was because I wanted you to help me get Shikamaru and Ino together. I know they seem like they're together, but I talked to Shikamaru last night before the dance and he said he wanted to ask Ino out but as we all know he's to shy to say anything and Ino is just as shy as he is, un. So my plan is--- seeing how it's almost Christmas and all--- to get Shikamaru and Ino under the mistletoe. What do you think, un? Are you in or out?" Deidara said willingly.

"I'm definately in. This something I have to be part of. Hey, I'm hungry. You want to get something to eat?" I said rubbing my stomach.

"Yea, sure." he said.

We walked out of the kitchen threw the living room and out the door.
