This is my first story, so it might be a little shaky. But I love writing about this kind of thing, so i hope you like it!
Ring! Ring!
"Uhhh. Who's calling this early in the morning?" she groaned from her comfortable position on her bed.
"Shut up", she said to the phone on her bedside table but picked it up anyways.
"Hello?" she said groggily into the receiver.
"Hey Sakura, it's Ino", said the voice on the other line.
"Ino, you pig, why are you calling me this early in the morning?" Sakura said, still lying in her bed with her eyes closed.
"Sakura, it's 1:30 in the afternoon, all the normal people are already awake" said Ino, slightly annoyed
"Are you suggesting something, you pig?" Sakura said, her temper flaring.
"Well maybe I am forehead!" Ino said her temper also rising considerably.
"Hmm, fighting already, you two?" said another voice on the line.
"Tenten, shut up, she started it", Ino said angrily.
"You're the one who-"
"Okay, Okay. Ino remember what we were supposed to be calling Sakura about", Tenten stated calmly.
"Huh? Oh right. Forehead, I'm really sorry, but we have some bad news", Ino said, her temper changing instantly.
"What do you mean?" Sakura said now also completely calm.
"Sakura, promise me you won't explode", Ino said.
"What?"
"Promise me", Ino said again.
"Fine I won't, but now you've got me kinda worried", Sakura said suspiciously.
"Sakura, you're not going to like this, but our school is not having a girls' basketball team this year", said Ino a little nervously.
"WHAT!!"
Sakura exploded.
"So, our school has too many girly-girls that don't want to chip a nail and not enough girls who don't mind breaking a sweat?!" Sakura yelled, still fuming.
"Yeah, basically", Tenten said from her spot on Sakura's beanbag chair.
Sakura and her best friends, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata, were all sitting in her room with glum faces.
"So, we had enough for a team last year, and we went to state championships, so we should have a team this year, and we were all really good!" Sakura yelled again.
"Sakura, can you please calm down a bit… and that was a run-on sentence", Hinata said in a quiet voice from her bed.
"Why should I calm down? And who cares if I made a run-on sentence!" Sakura said, if possible, even louder.
"Uhh, Sakura, you've been yelling all morning. I know you love basketball, but there's nothing we can do. There just weren't enough girls. I already called the school board, and they gave me a very frank 'no'", Ino said exasperatedly.
"Yeah. Last year half of our team was seniors. This year it would only be us four and Temari," Tenten added.
"Well, there has to be something we can do!"
"Like what? Dress up as a boy and try out for the boys' team?" Tenten snorted.
Hinata and Ino laughed with her.
Sakura wasn't laughing, though. She was standing by the window with a strange look on her face.
"S-Sakura, what's that look for?" Hinata said nervously.
"Why couldn'tI try out for the boys' team? Of course, they would never let me as a girl, so I would have to dress up like a boy!" Sakura said, smacking her head as if she should have thought of it before.
"Sakura, how would you pull it off? I mean, I know you already dress like a guy and act somewhat like a guy. And sure, you can do a really good guy voice and have a kind of flat chest. But, that doesn't mean…" Ino said trailing off.
"You know what", Tenten said quietly, "Now that I think about it, we might actually be able to consider this".
They all sat there in silence, contemplating.
"Hinata, what do you think?" said Ino.
Hinata looked nervously at her friends and then sighed. She had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to talk them out of this.
"I say, you never know until you try"
Sakura, Tenten, and Ino all grinned.
"Sakura, I know that I said you dress like a guy, but do you own any skirts?" Ino said, twitching slightly.
"Yeah. See, there's one right here", Sakura said pulling a blue skirt from the bottom of her closet.
"Ino, I know this is hard for you, but not everybody likes fashion as much as you do", Tenten said, "I only own a few skirts myself."
Ino gaped at them
"Don't worry Ino. I own quite a few skirts", Hinata smiled.
"Oh, thank God! I thought I was going to drown in all of the unfeminity", Ino threw her arms about dramatically.
"Is that even a word?" Sakura sweat dropped.
"Probably not", Ino giggled.
"Hey, aren't we supposed to be helping Sakura become a boy?" Tenten said reasonably, "I mean, we only have a limited amount of time".
"Right, and first we have to do something about your hair, Sakura", Ino said inspecting it, "I mean what boy has pink hair?"
Sakura held her hair in front of her, "I may not like the color pink, but I somewhat like my hair...my mom's hair was this color."
Her friends sobered up immediately and looked hesitantly at their friend.
Sakura saw them looking at her and shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm totally over it. I just don't know what to do with my hair".
"Hmm, we might be able to use a wig", Hinata said, looking at Sakura's hair, "We would just have to find a good one that would stay on".
"We have to figure out what school Sakura is going to go too. I mean she can't go to our school, it's all girls", Tenten said.
"It might be best if she went to a school not close to here, someone might recognize her when she's a guy", said Ino.
"She can go to my cousin's school, Konoha High School for Boys", Hinata suggested.
"Yeah, and isn't there a girls' school, Konoha School for Girls, right next to it", Ino asked.
"Umm, yeah"
"I'm kind of sick of our school, let's go there!" Ino grinned maniacally.
Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten just stared at her.
"Ino, you do understand that we can't just change schools like that, right?" Tenten said hesitantly.
"Oh, come on! My parents won't care and neither will Hinata's. Tenten, you're parents are cool and will let you go. Sakura doesn't have any parents so we don't have to worry about her. Come on, I really want to go", Ino pleaded.
"Well, I always did love a new experience", Tenten grinned.
"Ino's right, my parents won't care. I guess I could try it", Hinata said slowly.
"And it was already decided for me!" Sakura smiled happily, "At least I won't have to do this alone!"
Ino did her happy dance and said, "Well it's decided. We're all going to Konoha!"
Hinata eyes widened and said, "Oh, that's right we have to go to a whole different city! I think I'm going to faint".
Sakura grabbed the shy girl's shoulders, "Come on Hinata, you are the one who said you wanted to be braver. Well, here's your chance!"
Hinata turned her head to look at her pinkheaded friend and nodded.
Tenten whooped and threw her fist in the air, "Finally, an adventure! What are we waiting for, let's get this started!"
Yeah, sorry that the ending was kind of bad, I just didn't really know how to end it.
By the way, there is a scene change after "Sakura exploded." and "Sakura, Tenten, and Ino all grinned."
I couldn't figure out how to separate the scene changes with stars, so I just gave up.
Also, I would love for you to comment. I don't mind any flames, it might actually help me become a better writer.
Tell me about any grammatical errors too. The pairings will be sasusaku, nauhina, nejiten, and inoshika.
