A wind blissfully sweeps and softly touches the village of the Hidden Leaf. Shining brightly and warmly on the ground and the air, the sun beats down on a beautiful, traditional white wedding, with cherry blossom petals floating and drifting alongside.
"Okay Temari, here's your flowers!" Ino says quickly.
"Temari, the veil looks beautiful on you!" says Sakura admirably.
"It's perfect." Hinata smiles.
"Thanks you guys, none of this would of happened without you all." Temari says with her usual big smile.
"Okay girls, Hinata, Tenten, Sakura, Temari and I are going to do the finishing touches and will be coming out when the music starts."
"You better hurry, the rehersal starts soon." Sakura warns.
"No problem, you worry too much Sakura." Ino jokes.
The girls walk out and Ino is finishing up Temari's hair.
Temari examines herself and tells Ino she never thought she was good enough for someone else.
Ino laughs and replies, "Don't worry, your Shikamaru's dream girl in every way, he how loves your tough, beautiful, and not afraid to say what you think."
Temari laughs, but wonders why he didn't choose Ino, since they were such good friends.
Ino can tell what she's thinking because of Temari looking at her engagement ring.
"Temari, seriously, Im too obsessive and preppy to be his type. We were forced to be in a group. If we weren't there would be no connection at all. Trust me, you're his only love, and you always will be. Besides, I have my own man Im looking for." Ino jokes.
Ino smiles and hugs Temari, "I will see you outside, good luck!"
"Thanks Ino."
Temari smiles. She then looks at herself again and knows, as crazy as it seems, Shikamaru is the only man for her.
In the grooms dressing room, the guys are drinking some sake. "To our first imprisoned friend, may he not lose his dignity!" Kiba cheers as all the guys clink glasses and chug.
"Okay guys, I think its time to get out there, Shikamaru will be out in a sec." Chouji announces.
"Alright, alright were going." Kiba sulks.
"You're a good best man Chouji." Naruto pats him on the back.
"0o0 I knew all along you two would get together!" Naruto snickers.
"Yeah right Naruto, I will see you out there." Shikamaru jokes.
"Okay, see you later!"
Chouji is looking at Shikamaru and is thinking of what Naruto mentioned. "Hey Shikamaru?"
"Yeah Chouji?" Shikamaru replies while tightening his bow.
"Why did you choose Temari, she is kinda plain and not as fun to me."
Shikamaru chuckles and says, "That's what I love about her. Shes real, and is herself, we also get each other. Were both pretty headstrong and know what we want in life."
"Well as long as you're happy Shikamaru, I am too." Chouji smiles.
"Thanks, youre also one of the few people that understand me too buddy."
"Good luck out there."
"Thanks, I hope so too."
