Tenten sat happily between her teammates.
She was quite glad she had suggested this restaurant, as it greatly improved her teammates' moods, in turn lifting hers and making them a happy bunch all around.
The average bystander wouldn't have known this as Neji looked as cold as ever, but Tenten knew better. She could see it in his eyes.
Lee, however, was very plainly enjoying the meal.
It was evident not only in his eyes but in his whole face and posture.
Those two really were polar opposites.
Tenten was very happy that she'd found a restaurant they both liked so much. That is, she was happy until Lee, unable to open the ketchup packet along the dotted line, squirted her with ketchup in a sorry attempt to open it.
Tenten screeched, Lee apologized as loudly as he could, and Neji just smirked.
Tenten saw him smirking, and the noise that ensued was deafening.
"Neji! I see you! So you think this is funny, huh? Let's see how you like it!"
"As I said I am very sorry—"
"Tenten, no!"
"—will run 100 laps around Konoha as punishment—"
"Oh, I see. It's only funny if it happens to someone else, huh?"
"NO. Tenten, you got it in my hair! Now I'll need a shower!"
"—fail to do that, I'll do 500 pushups—"
"Oh, boo-hoo. I'll need a shower too, you know. Besides, you like showers."
"—and I hope you accept my apology—"
"What gives you the idea I like showers?"
"How about your perfect hair?"
"That has nothing to do with this. You were being immature and I demand an apology. Hey! Quit laughing, it's not funny!"
"Tenten, were you even listening to my apology?"
Lee got no answer except for laughter. Yes, this day had lifted Tenten's mood. Even if neither Neji nor Lee were particularly happy. Heck, that made it better.
Who knew one could be so happy while being covering ketchup with glaring teammates on either side.
