It was eight o'clock in the morning on a Saturday. Naruto woke up and got ready for work. He put on his normal outfit then went outside. Lee and Kiba were at his door. "Good morning." Kiba said. "Morning." Naruto said. They started to walk along the snow covered sidewalk. "Hey guys, guess what." Lee said. "What?" Naruto and Kiba said at the same time. "Hinata's throwing a party and we're invited."

"Cool." They both said. "Wanna come?"

"Sure." They both said. "When is it?" Naruto asked. "Two days."

"Oh, so it's a Christmas party?" Kiba asked. Lee nodded. "Cool. It should be a lot of fun then." Naruto said. Lee nodded again. "Can't wait." Kiba said. "Neither can I."

"Well..." Naruto started to say as he bent down to pick up some snow and turned it into a ball. "I can." Naruto started to toss the snowball up and down in his hand. The other two watched it go up and down. Then Naruto threw the snowball at Lee. "Hey!" Kiba and Naruto laughed at Lee. Lee picked up enough snow to make two snowballs and threw them at the guys. All three of them had a snowball fight as they walked to work. They worked at a Ramen Shop. Kiba and Naruto were cooks and Lee was a waiter. The guys were in front of the Ramen Shop, Naruto was laughing in victory. "Ha-ha. I won again."

"All bow down to The Almighty Naruto!" Kiba said. Kiba and Lee bowed down to Naruto. "Thank you, thank you." He said and bowed to the guys. "Okay guys, time to get to work." Lee said. "Yes sir, Mr. Killjoy." Kiba said and saluted Lee. The guys laughed then went inside the Ramen Shop. They went to the Employee Lounge and put on their uniforms. "Man, oh man. I can't wait for that Christmas Party." Lee said while putting on his uniform. "Dude, it's only one day away. I'm sure you can wait." Naruto said. Lee stuck his tongue out at Naruto. Naruto stuck his tongue out too. "C'mon guys, we got work to do." Kiba said and left the room. The guys followed. They went to there posts and began to work. "That'll be forty-seven dollars and sixty-eight cents, Ma'am." Lee said to the woman who just got done eating some ramen. She handed him a fifty dollar bill. "Keep the change."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Later and have a Merry Christmas." Lee said as the woman walked away. "You too." Lee went to the kitchen. "Ah, how I love Christmas time." Lee said. "Yeah, it's the greatest time of the year." Naruto said. "Yep."

"Hey, remember that snowman we built last year?"

"Yep."

"Man that was fun."

"We should do it again this year."

"Yeah, we should."

"Hey guys, get back to work, you can make Christmas plans all you want at break time." Kiba said while making soup. "Yes sir, Mr. Killjoy." Lee said and saluted Kiba, mocking him from when Kiba had done it to him earlier. Naruto laughed and Kiba rolled his eyes with a smile on his face. "He's right; we should get back to work." Naruto said. They worked for a little while then took a break in front of the Ramen Shop. While Lee was looking at the clouds thinking of Sakura, the guys saw her and Hinata walking up to them. "Hi, Lee." Sakura said in a very cheerful voice. Lee came back to earth when he heard her. "Sakura!" He said then gave her a really big hug. "Lee...Can't breath...Need air." Lee let go. "Sorry. Just happy to see you." He said with a big smile on his face. Sakura also smiled. "Hi, Hinata." Naruto said. "Hi." She said quietly. "What're you two doin' here?" Kiba asked. "We came to visit and get a bite to eat." Sakura answered. "Awe. You came to visit me." Lee said then gave Sakura another hug. She laughed. Kiba's watch started to beep, he looked at it. "Looks like break time's over. Back to work guys." He said and pointed his thumb toward the shop. Lee stopped hugging Sakura. She frowned. "Don't worry sweetie. We can hang out after work."

"Nope. Hinata and I have a lot of work to do for the party." Lee frowned. "Sakura, I'll do half the work today and you can help me finish it tomorrow."

"But-" Sakura started to say. "No 'but's. Just hang out with Lee when he gets off from work."

"But-"

"You heard the woman, Sakura, no 'but's." Lee said. "Okay, Lee and I will hang out once he's done with work." Sakura said, laughing a little bit. Lee smiled and gave Sakura a big hug. "Yay." Kiba rolled his eyes with a smile on his face then grabbed the back of Lee's shirt. "C'mon, Lover Boy, let's get back to work." He said and started to drag him off. The others laughed. "I'll go get a table for us." Sakura said and walked into the shop. "'Kay." Hinata said. Naruto walked toward Hinata. "That was pretty nice of you."

"What'd I do that was so nice?"

"You told Sakura to hang out with Lee instead of helping you."

"Oh. Yeah, I guess that was kinda nice." Hinata said in a shy way while using her left hand to curve her hair behind her ear. Naruto and Hinata turned toward the store when they heard a big crashing noise. "What the-" They both said. Lee ran back outside. "Naruto, you gotta help me. One of the other chefs knocked over the soup and started a fire in the kitchen." He said, panting a little bit. All three of them heard a girly scream, and then saw Kiba run from their right to their left on the inside of the shop. He was covered in lobsters. "And also knocked over the lobsters too, apparently." Naruto said. Lee ran back inside to try to help Kiba. "Kiba, stay still!" Naruto and Hinata heard him yell. After that, they heard another girly scream and then saw a lobster run from their left to their right inside the shop. "Uh...I gotta go. Later." Naruto said and ran inside the shop. Hinata was thinking about where Sakura went. Then she saw her running out of the shop. "Is everybody okay in there?" Hinata asked. "Yes as far as I know." Sakura answered. They heard screaming. "We better go..." Sakura started. They heard a big bang and more screaming. "Get the fire extinguisher!" Somebody yelled. "Now." She finished. "Yeah..." Hinata said. They ran from the shop and to Hinata's place.

The next day, Sakura and Hinata were getting Hinata's place ready for the party. They heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Sakura said walking to the door. She looked out the eye hole. "It's her."

"Okay. Get your silly string ready." Both of the girls had a can of silly string. They had planned to silly string their friend when she got there. They hid the cans behind their backs. Sakura opened the door. It was Ino at the door. "Hi guys."

"Hi." Sakura and Hinata said at the same time. They let Ino come in. Sakura shut the door. "Hey, did you guys hear about what happened at the Ramen Shop yesterday?" While Ino wasn't looking, the girls pulled out their silly string cans and started to spray it on her. "Ah!" The girls laughed. "Yeah, 'Ha-ha', it's very funny." Ino said sounding a little irritated. She wiped all of the silly string off. "Okay, let's get to work." Ino said while the other two were still laughing. She gave them a 'Stop laughing right now' look. They stopped. "Okay, what's first?" Ino asked. "Streamers." Hinata answered. "Okay." The girls started to put red, green and white streamers everywhere. Upstairs and downstairs. "Next is the mistletoe." Sakura said. "Let's put it here, above the kitchen door." Hinata said. Hinata got a ladder and hung the mistletoe. "Okay. We still need to put up some decorations and we need food, music, some lights tha-" Sakura was saying. Ino covered her mouth. "Okay. We get it. We still have a lot of work to do." For the rest of the day and half the night the girls put up Christmas decorations, lights that changed color and got cool music and enough food for an army. After they were done, Sakura and Ino went home and Hinata went to bed.

The next day, the guys were at work and talking about the party. "Yes! It's finally Christmas!" Lee cheered. "Which means it's time for the Christmas party!" Kiba cheered. "Woo hoo!" They both cheered. "Merry Christmas guys. I'll cya at the party." Naruto said then left. The guys followed so they could go get ready for the party.
Later that day, the girls were at Hinata's place, ready for the party. The doorbell rang. "Okay, are we all ready?" Hinata asked. The other two nodded. "Okay, let's do this." She went to the door and opened it and dozens of people came in and started to party. "Wow! Great party, Hinata!" Sakura said. "Thanks." Ino saw a good looking man walk by. "Excuse me ladies. I'm gonna go get my party on." She said then left. The other two saw some good looking guys walk by. "We'll join you." They both said. They danced for a few hours. "I wonder where Lee is. He said that he was coming but I haven't seen him."

"I'm sure he'll be here, Sakura." Hinata said. After Hinata said that, the doorbell rang. Hinata answered it. "Hi, Lee."

"Hi, Hinata." Hinata looked at Naruto. "Hi, Naruto."

"Hi, Hinata."

"Would you guys like to come in?"

"Of course." They both said. She let them in. "Hinata?" Lee said. Naruto went into the living room and started to dance. Hinata watched him dance. "Yeah?" Hinata said, still watching Naruto dance. "Where's Sakura?"

"She's in the other room."

"'Kay, thanks." He said then left. Hinata walked over to Naruto. "May I join?"

"Sure." The two started to dance with each other. Sakura and Lee were watching them from the other side of the room. "Ooh. Look at those two. Don't they look cute together?" Sakura asked. "Yeah. They look do pretty cute together..." Lee started to say while wrapping his arms around Sakura. "Like us." He finished and smiled at her. "You're goofy." Sakura said then kissed his cheek. Naruto and Hinata stopped dancing to take a breather. "You're a really good dancer." Hinata said. "Thanks. You are too."

"Did you take dance lessons?"

"No. It just comes naturally."

"Wow...You're talented...I had to take dance lessons."

"Yeah, I guess I am kinda talented." Naruto flexed his muscles at Hinata. She laughed. "You're goofy."

"Yeah, I've been told that before." She laughed again. "I'm gonna get somthin' to drink."

"I'll come with ya." They went to the kitchen and got some drinks and then they were going back to the living room but they accidentally tried going through the kitchen door at the same time. "Sorry. You go first."

"No. You go first."

"I insist." Naruto was about to say something but then he looked up. "Hey, we're under the mistletoe." Hinata looked up. "I forgot I put that thing here." They looked at each other. "Um..." Hinata said as she started to blush. She quickly got her cool back and kissed him on the cheek. Naruto looked at her, stunned. The doorbell rang. "Um...I better go get that." Hinata said then walked away. Sakura and Lee were on the other side of the room still watching Hinata and Naruto. "Awe. That was cute."

"Maybe when they're done we can go under the mistletoe." Sakura giggled. "You're so silly." Naruto stood under the mistletoe and rubbed the cheek Hinata had kissed. He smiled. "She kissed me." He said quietly to himself. Hinata answered the door. Kiba was there. "Hi, Hinata."

"Hi, Kiba."

"Wow. Looks like a great party." Kiba said while looking at the party that was going on behind Hinata. "Would you like to come in and dance?" She asked and pointed her thumb to the party. "Of course. That's why I'm here." He said as he came in. Kiba saw a good looking girl walk by. "Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go dance." He left. Hinata laughed a little bit. Then she started to think about the kiss she had with Naruto. She felt like she needed to tell someone so she went to go look for Ino. She found her talking to a good looking guy. She walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. Ino turned around. "Ino, can I talk to your for a sec'."

"Sure Hinata." Ino turned around to face the guy she was talking to. "We'll have to talk more later, Sweet cheeks." She said then winked at him. He smiled, nodded then walked away. Ino turned back to Hinata. "So, what's up?"

"I kissed, Naruto."

"On the lips?"

"No. The cheek."

"Why?"

"We were under the mistletoe." Hinata smacked herself on the forehead. "Oh my gosh. I can't believe I did that."

"It's a party and you guys were under the mistletoe. So it's perfectly fine to do that."

"I should go apologize." She turned around so she could go look for Naruto but bumped into him instead. "Hi. I was just about to come look for you." Hinata said in a slightly nervous tone. "There's no need to say sorry about the kiss."

"Oh...You heard that?"

"I'm gonna leave you two alone." Ino said as she walked away. Hinata was trying to think of something to say. "Would you like to go out on a date sometime?" Hinata was shocked but deep down inside she was cheering. "Um sure." She said trying to keep her cool. "Um okay. How 'bout tomorrow at eight?"

"Sounds great."

"Okay. Tomorrow at eight it is."

"Okay."

"Now that that's settled...wanna dance?"

"Sure." So they danced until two o'clock in the morning. At that time everybody went home. "Thanks for coming. Hope you had fun." Hinata was saying as the people were walking out of her house. "Nice party, Hinata." Ino said as she walked out with a good looking man. "Yeah, great party, Hinata." Lee said as he and Sakura walked out. "Yeah! It was awesome!" Kiba said as he walked out with three women. Hinata stared at him as he walked away. 'Wow. I never knew that Kiba was quite the ladies man.' She thought. "Cya tomorrow." Naruto said as he walked out the door. Hinata smiled and waved at Naruto as he walked away. When everybody left, she closed the door, turned around, and looked at the big mess in her living room. She sighed. "I can't believe I have to clean this up all by myself." There was a knock on the door. She looked through the eyehole then opened it. Sakura and Ino were there. "Guys? What're you doing here? I thought you were going home."

"Well we were." Sakura started. "But we can't let you clean this mess up all by yourself." Ino finished. "Awe. Thanks guys."

"No problem." They both said. "Well let's get started." It only took two hours because all three of them were cleaning. Once they were done Sakura and Ino left. "Thanks guys." Hinata said as they left. "No problem." Ino said. "Cya later." Sakura said. After they left, she closed the door, took a shower, and went to bed. Dreaming about how much fun she had at the party. And dreaming about what her date with Naruto will be like the next night.
