First romance fic. No flames.
Shikamaru was in his bed sleeping when a letter bomb landed on his nose. He opened his eyes and realized that it was about to blow. He rapidly got up and threw it out the window, where it blew up on top of Choji's head. That made him pretty upset.
Shortly after this, a kunai flew into Shikamaru's room. He dodged it, but he noticed a note attached through the hole. It read,
Party at Ino's! My dad is away, and I'd like you to come to a party! Food and refreshments are available if you're interested. If you're coming, come. If not, don't. See you there!
Ino.
"I'm all for this," Shikamaru thought. A party! Normally he didn't get up until about 3:00, but the party was at 8:00. Shikamaru wasn't worried. "Let's hope Naruto brings good beer. Ino has that crappy 'Miller Lite' shit."
As Shikamaru was walking to the party later that night, he saw a bald Choji. He burst out laughing, and Choji was about to punch him in the gut when Sasuke showed up.
"Hey guys, going to the party?" Sasuke asked.
"No shit!" said Choji. "There's free food!"
Predictable, thought Shikamaru.
"Who else is going?" asked Shikamaru.
Sasuke said, "As far as I know, everyone we know. Anko, Kabuto, Sakura, Kiba, and the rest of the bunch."
"Sweet. Do you know if Naruto's bringing anything?" Choji asked.
"Yeah," Sasuke replied. "He's got top of the line vodka and beer coming our way."
"Awesome," Shikamaru said.
As the group approached Ino's place, they saw just how packed the house was going to be. Oh well, it was a big house anyways.
Ino welcomed all of them when they got in the door, and all of them stepped into the grand room. The first thing they saw was Neji and TenTen making out. So were Temari and Naruto. They were probably already drunk.
"This is going to be a great party," Shikamaru smirked.
