It's January sixth and al of Konoha is buzzing with excitement and business. This is the time of year when there are less missions, and a very important holiday to the people of Japan is coming up. The day where everyone celebrates the Shinobi and Kunoichi and thank them for protecting they're villages and people. The holiday takes place over three days, starting January seventh with everyone thanking every ninja they see from their village or allying villages, even though the people do this over all three days, the first day is where they personally thank one who has done more than what the other ninjas have done, usually giving a gift. Day two, January eighth, the people make a parade to honor these heroes and heroines, the Shinobi and Kunoichi usually walk with the parade, however some may not want to be so celebrated, so they just watch. Lastly, Day three, January ninth, is the annual holiday ball. Most of the time ninja go into the ball without a date, but come out with one. There's one person who dreads when this holiday comes around…Tenten. "Come on, Tenten! How can you hate Shinoichi Day!" Ino shouted, in the busy city.
"You're really loud, you know, and I don't hate the holiday, I just hate the third day of it," Tenten replied, folding her arms.
"What's so bad about the Shinoichi Ball?" Temari asked.
"How everyone gets so girlie about a dance, besides you usually get a date when you get out of there, so why should I set myself up for failure? I doubt any guy would want to date someone like me. I don't have a girlie bone in my body!" Tenten protested.
"Yes, you do, you always wore that Chinese pink top two years ago! And the top you wear now, is still pretty cute! I'm sure Neji will want to see you in a dress!" Sakura said, using a sexy voice when mentioning Neji.
"Shut up! You promised not to say it in public! Besides, I've never gone to the Shinoichi Ball, I wouldn't know what to do if I go! And Neji has seen me in a dress," Tenten said, trying to shush Sakura.
"Funeral dresses don't count, Tenten," Yumi replied.
"Wait, you've never gone! What the hell's wrong with you, Tenten!" Ino yelled.
"I went once, when I was still in the academy, at first I thought it would be fun, until I realized how much girls cared about how they looked. It still makes me sick," Tenten explained, remembering what happened that night, what she saw, no one would ever know, it's the reason why she doesn't go.
"Well, you're going this year!" Matsuri said, triumphantly.
"No I'm not! I'm not like you guys! You all have at least one person who likes you, and will ask you to go or dance, me I have…no one," Tenten said, looking down sadly.
"Oh contraire! Neji will surely ask you!" Hinata said excitedly.
"What do you mean by that?" Tenten questioned.
"Oh c'mon! Ever since you two started on the same team, Neji has had a crush on you! It's so obvious! Oh crap!"
"What's wrong?" Yumi asked, concerned.
"I've said too much! See why I don't talk a lot?" Hinata replied.
"Oh, I get it." Matsuri and Temari laughed.
"Too cute!" Ino and Sakura giggled.
"Anyway, why should I go?" Tenten asked.
"Because, Neji will flip when he sees how hot you'll look!" Sakura and Yumi cried out. This was weird for Tenten, Yumi was one of her best friends, she may have dressed more girlie, but she had a personality very similar to Tenten's, for Tenten to see her like this, acting all girlie, was just odd.
"C'mon Tenten! Two month's from now you'll officially be a legal adult! You have to at least go to this!" Ino shouted, begging.
"Oh, do I have to?" Tenten complained.
"Yes!" the girls said, Tenten looked down.
"Fine," she said, in a small reluctant voice.
"Alright!" the others shouted.
"Alright, girls we need to get not only ourselves, but Tenten ready! We'll go dress shopping tomorrow, then we'll get our hair and nails done on Friday, the day of the dance, then we'll all meet up at my house and put our makeup on! Sound like a plan?" Ino ordered, all the girls except Tenten, raised their hands.
"Hell yeah!" they cheered, Tenten reluctantly rose her hand.
"I guess," she said.
"Awesome! Okay, meet up at Tenten's house tomorrow at ten! We wouldn't want you skipping out on us," Ino said, with a devilish smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Look, Gai-sensei wants me to meet up with him and the others at the training ground, like, now. So, I'll see you guys tomorrow, bye!" Tenten said, running towards the training ground.
"Gai-sensei's making her train? On a holiday? That sucks," Yumi said, as Tenten was out of sight.
"Okay, she's going to get a TON of cuts and scrapes, so Sakura, Yumi, when we do her makeup, you two heal any wounds on her arms and legs, any injury that's noticeable, got it?" Ino said.
"Hai!" the cousins said with a smile and a solute.
At the training grounds, Tenten was the last one there, Lee and Gai were more excited than usual. Probably thanks to the holiday. "How late am I?" Tenten whispered to Neji, when she got there.
"Not late at all, the two happened to see me walking around and basically kidnapped me," Neji replied, his voice emotionless, Tenten laughed.
That was when Lee and Gai noticed she had arrived. "Tenten! Are you as excited about Shinoichi as I?" Lee shouted.
"Lee, we've known each other how long? I think you'd know how I feel about it," she replied.
"C'mon Tenten, you're not excited? It's a holiday dedicated to ninja!" Gai replied, in that loud voice of his.
"It's not the holiday itself, it's the ball, the girls are kind of trying to convince me into going."
"Why do you not go? It's so much fun! This year Sakura-chan will dance with me!" Lee shouted.
"It's not really my thing," she replied.
"Okay, that's enough talking about Shinoichi, let's get down to training!" Gai shouted, giving the thumbs up. "Fight with the power of youth!"
"Here we go again, the youth crazed idiots," Tenten and Neji said under their breaths.
It was nearing midnight at the training grounds, Neji and Tenten were finishing their sparring match, both equal, this fight had been going on for nearly two hours. "Alright you two! Let's finish this tomorrow!" Gai shouted, Neji and Tenten stopped in their tracks, panting.
"Um…Gai-sensei, I can't make it tomorrow. The girls want me to help them with dress shopping, can we do it the day after tomorrow? 'Cause Ino will kill me," Tenten explained, folding her arms in annoyance of shopping.
"True, Ino-san is scary, Gai-sensei let Tenten take a break! She's worked very hard today, this is the longest she has lasted in a battle with Neji-san!" Lee declared.
"Alright then, we'll continue on Thursday. Now go and get some sleep, you guys earned it," Gai agreed.
"Arigato," Neji and Tenten both said, heading toward their homes.
Tenten went home, showered, changed, and dressed the cuts and scrapes she had gained, then went to sleep. The next morning, Tenten woke up at 9:50. She cursed herself for sleeping in, but got ready one minute before the rest of the girls were at her door. "Wow, Tenten, how'd you know? We didn't even knock!" Matsuri asked, as Tenten opened her front door.
"I overslept, so where are we going to get these dresses?" Tenten explained, Ino had an evil grin growing on her face.
"You'll just have to wait and see," she laughed.
"This isn't going to turn out well for me is it?" Tenten said, looking scared.
"No, I can't say it will, at least, not with the smile Ino has on," Yumi replied, poking Ino's face.
"Quick poking me, Yumi! Gah! You made me loose my evil smile!"
