Chapter 1:Finding a partner

During the time Sasuke was with Orochimaru, everyone in Konoha was bored until…

Temari came into town for a visit and brought Gaara with her, to find him a girlfriend so he wouldn't be so lonely, but she didn't tell him the reason. They split up in town to find the others. Meanwhile Hinata, Sakura and Ten-Ten were sitting down drinking their booster juice.

"Temari over here" Sakura called.

"Hey, how are you guys?" Temari replied.

Hinata and Ten-Ten also said hello as she got closer.

"So what's the plan you guys?" Temari asked.

"We don't know." They replied.

Out of no where a flyer dropped onto their table, Sakura looked at it.

"This is it you guys, we'll go to the new 'glow in the dark mini golf' is every one fine with it?" Sakura asked.

"Yup" replied Ten-Ten.

"Uh-huh" replied Hinata.

"Sure" replied Temari.

"Then let's go" Sakura said.

Meanwhile, Gaara walked around town.

"Gaara" Naruto yelled. "Come with me, I'm on my way to meet the others at marble slab."

"Okay"

"Hey what's up you guys?" Naruto said as he approached Neji, Kiba, and Shikamaru that were just finishing the cone of their ice creams.

"Hey Gaara, how've you been?" said Kiba and Shikamaru.

"Hey you could at least say hi to me." Naruto said in an irritated voice.

"Chill Naruto, we're only kidding" said Shikamaru. "Right, Kiba?"

"Yeah dude," Kiba replied.

Neji didn't really care and just sat there with the same expression on his face the whole time.

"So what now?" Shikamaru said.

All of a sudden Sakura, Temari, Ten-Ten and Hinata came their way.

"Look you guys the girls are headed our way, lets see what their up to."

Shikamaru said.

"Hey Sakura, where are you guys going?" Naruto asked abruptly

"To the new 'glow in the dark mini-golf'"

"Can we join you?" Kiba asked.

"Sure, whatever let's play in pairs okay" Tamari said

"What?" said Neji.

Shikamaru stopped him and pulled the guys in a huddle and whispered.

'Think this through carefully you guys, four babes with us guys in the dark, their practically asking for a date.'

"What do you think their doing?" Ten-Ten asked the others.

"I don't know, but it's weird if you ask me," replied Temari "all we did was ask them join us maybe next time we shouldn't."

"Uh-huh" they said agreeing.

'Okay you guys let's do paper, rock, scissors?'

'What for?' Naruto asked

'"Naruto, I will try to explain to you slowly since you're the only one who doesn't get it," Shikamaru said, "there are only five of us and only four of them, if we're doing pairs one of us is going to have to go alone. So here are the rules whoever wins first chooses their partner."'

Everyone put their hand in Naruto, Kiba had a determined to win face, Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara didn't really care.

'Ready, ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS.' Shikamaru said.

Every one put rock except for Naruto who put scissors. Naruto sat in a crouched position and started sulking.

'Okay guys, dibs the person you want to be with' Shikamaru said

'Temari' Shikamaru said

'Hinata' Kiba chose.

'Ten-Ten' Neji picked.

'Sakura' Gaara decided.

'Alright once were there stick with your date' Kiba whispered, 'Naruto try not to ruin our dates, or else?

"Okay, Okay, fine," Naruto replied

"You guy's coming or what?" said Temari about to burn a fuse.

When they reached the entrance, Shikamaru signaled the guys and they moved closer to their partners, Temari getting the drift goes along with it.

"Come on Hinata," said Kiba as he took her hand and lead her inside, "Let's start our game."

"Uh huh" she said and followed.

"Ten-Ten lets go next" Neji said, since he was over protective of Hinata he wanted to make sure that Kiba was being watched and not doing something stupid.

"Okay" she followed Neji inside.

"Well go next" Shikamaru said.

"See you in side Sakura," Temari said.

"It's our turn" Gaara said,

"Yeah" she responded, "What about you Naruto?" Sakura said.

Gaara looked at Naruto in the same gaze as always.

"Sakura don't worry, I'll join you in a minute when I find someone?"

"Alright" She said and walked with Gaara inside.

Now to find someone to go with he said.

"Hey Naruto" said a person behind him.

"Hey it's you," he said "would you be my partner for the game?"

"Do you even know my name," said the guy in sunglasses and a big jacket.

"Yes, it's, its start with an 'S' right"

"You don't even know my name and want me to be your partner, I knew your name but you can't remember mine." He said as he was sulking.

"Shino, it's Shino" Naruto said.

But Shino was so sad and started to sulk away.

"Wait, where are you going?" He said. "Come back."

"Naruto" said the person in Green tights with a mushroom hair cut.

"Rock Lee" he said, "Please, be my partner for this game"

"I'm sorry Naruto" said Lee. "I'm going to run 300 miles, then do 5000 push-ups, after.."

Naruto came up with an idea to entice Lee.

"Lee, you know Sakura is inside playing and would be impressed if you won, she might even go on a date."

"For Sakura," he said. "Naruto we must win at all costs."

"Alright" Naruto said.
