"OMG!!! AI, HINATA!!!" Sakura screeched loudly into their ears making them jump. Sakura and Ino stood over them, grinning in amusement. Ai and Hinata glared at them with annoyance at being yelled at.

"What is it this time?" Asked Ai, not even bothering with a friendly hello. "We wanted to invite you to a costume party at my house. Everyone will be there. You have to dress up as an animal. The party starts at 5:00pm to whenever we want to go home." They now had their own houses since they were all ninja and since Sakura's parents were doctors, she had the biggest house so it made sense that it was being held there.

"Who do you mean by everyone?" Hinata asked, interested in the party. She and Ai loved going to parties with their friends. "Not counting us four, Sasuke, Shika, Tenten, Neji, Kiba and Naruto."

Ai and Hinata looked at each other and knew that even if they didn't want to go, they'd be forced to go. They knew because Neji and Sasuke were coming and that was truly amazing. It was an animal costume party! They looked back at Sakura and Ino, who hadn't said a word, and said yes through their eyes. They did that a lot because there were a lot of things the girls didn't want boys to know so the had mini conversations with their eyes.

Sakura left before they could blink, probably off preparing for the party. "Sooooo… let's go buy some costumes." Said Hinata cheerfully. Ai nodded. She didn't have a costume for this either.

So they went on their way to the mall. During the walk there, they met up with Kiba and Nauto.

"Sakura invited you to the party? We're on the way to the mal to get costumes. Wanna walk there with us?" Kiba asked, grinning.

Ai smiled at him. It was a soft, sweet smile. Only Kiba ever got that smile. It was a smile reserved for him and him alone. "Sure."

They all talked about nothing and everything. It was really fun. No one in Konoha was surprised to see the four of them together and laughing down the streets. They usually hung out nowadays.

When they finally arrived at the mall, they checked the map for a costume store. There was only one in the whole mall. Hinata turned to the other three.

"Slight problem. I didn't want anyone to see my costume till the party but there's only one store and it'll be hard to avoid each other." Naruto jumped in at this. "Don't worry Hinata. The place is huge. While we go change we hide our costume, don't come out and search in different isles."

They stared at him as if he had sprouted two heads. He looked at them uncomfortably. "Wow. You said something smart that didn't include ramen! Amazing. Didn't know you had it in you." Naruto pouted. "That was a little mean."

"Whatever. Let's just get the costumes." Ai said impatiently, crossing her arms and tapping her foot on the floor. She wasn't the most patient person in some cases.

With a shrug, they took a mini map of the mall so they could find their way there. Right… Left… Straight… Up stairs… Left… Left… Upstairs again… Stop. They looked up and opened their mouths but nothing came out. This had to be the freakin hugest store in the mall. Yes, even bigger than Wall Mart.

They rushed in without a word and began searching through costumes like crazy.

With Hinata

She looked through the costumes, trying desperately to find the perfect one. Angel… no… cupid… no… penguin… no…McDonald's Happy Meal… NO!!!!… This one's perfect! She thought as she went through the costumes. She grabbed the one she liked, folded it up so it was hard to tell what it was a quickly went to the changing rooms. On her way there, she saw a costume for her cousin so she grabbed it knowing that Neji wouldn't have bought a costume.

She got into a changing room and put her costume on. Her white eyes lit up when she saw how great she looked in it. I won't describe it to you until the party.

She jumped out of it and back into her cloths, grabbed both costumes and went to pay and wait for her friends in front of the store.

With Ai

Ai, however, wasn't as fast with finding the perfect costume as Hinata. Boy was she frustrated. Lots of them weren't animals and lots of them didn't suit he. Yet, it was hard to suit her with the light blue hair she had.

She was practically ripping her hair out trying to find a costume that would make Kiba notice her more than usual but that was hard. She couldn't go as a cat cause Kiba was a dog person. Cat was the only costume she found that suited her so far.

Just when she was about to give up and ask Hina for help, she saw the perfect costume for her. She followed the process like Hina and when she tried it on, she liked the way in fit on her perfectly. It showed a lot of skin but was not slutty.

She looked really good in it. Not that she cared much about cloths or makeup. That's why she liked Hina and Tenten better than Ino and Sakura. Ino and Sakura were cloths/boys/makeup crazy. They worried about they're appearances non-stop.

Not that looking good was a bad thing. She liked Kiba to think she looked good. Enough about that. She went out of the store after purchasing the costume and saw that Hina, Naruto and Kiba were already waiting for her.

They all hide their costumes pretty well but boys were cutely obvious. Hina and Ai knew what the guys were probably going to go as.

They each separately dropped by at their houses only Ai came over to Hina's place. The party started soon. An hour about.

"Hey, Hina, let's make some popcorn. I'm starved." Hinata just nodded and Ai got a bag of un-popped popcorn. She opened the microwave when Sakura and Ino jumped out of it.

"AHHHH!! God, I hate it when you guys do that! How do you fit in there?" Ai asked, peering into the microwave. It looked normal. She closed it.

Hina regarded Sakura and Ino wearily. They grinned evilly. Uh-oh. Ai and Hina recognized those grins. They gulped. Makeovers. The most evil of the evil. They tried to make a run for it but Sakura and Ino had them in their clutches and dragged the unwilling girls upstairs.

"Sooo. Where are your costumes. We need to get the makeup and everything to match. Isn't this going to be fun?"

"Ummmm, Sakura, aren't you gonna need to be at your house when people start arriving."

"I'll just be a sec. Ino's gonna do the makeover on me at my house. If you guys take your makeup off for the party, we'll have to use the non-removable stuff that doesn't come off without the remover."

Ai and Hinata gulped but didn't doubt her words. They quickly got their bags and dumped the costumes on the floor and went to cower in a little corner.

Sakura picked up their costumes. "Um, guys. Your costumes are different animals but kinda look alike. Oh well. You can look even cuter that way. These are adorable."

They also found Tenten in a corner. They sweat dropped. Ino and Sakura would make them all suffer. God rest their souls.

With the guys

Naruto looked at the guys and their costumes.

"Hey, Neji, veryyy manly."

Neji's eye twitched as his costume was once again laughed at. 'Damn you to hell Hinata.' He thought. "Hey, let's make this more interesting. Last person to get a nose bleed gets to pick this party prank." Every party, the guys pulled off some kind of prank. The girls usually didn't notice and the guys fought over who got to decide it.

"Deal" They all said at the same time.

4:15. Party time.
