Hey all,

This is my first ever fanfic! It's very AU/OOC, but that's just how I had it thought up in my head, hehe :)

Please review! Thank you for reading!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto. (But wouldn't it be awesome if I did?)

I can't believe I'm back here, Sakura thought as she picked up her bags from the baggage claim. At the age of 27, she has already done well for herself. She's a doctor getting paid a 6-digit salary, but prior to that, she did some modeling to help pay for her tuition. Growing up, she didn't have many luxuries, so she used her brain to get her scholarships and grants to help pay for school. Not only did her brain get her far, but so did her exquisite beauty. Her unique pink locks got her several modeling contracts with top salons and even more so, her flawless face has graced the cover of Seventeen a few times. Though many offers fell at her feet to continue modeling, she didn't like the lime light. Her ultimate dream was always to save lives and make something of herself rather than just being a pretty face; and she did just that. Taking in a deep breath, she wished herself luck as she headed down to the rent-a-car station with her luggage in hand.

"Oh my kami! Are you really THE Sakura Haruno? I've gotta get the other girls! Excuse me, I'll be right back," squealed the rent-a-car agent when she saw Sakura's ID.

"Actually, it's Dr. Haruno, but you can call me Sakura," Sakura said playfully. But it was too late, the agent was already out of her sight. Hoping that the poor girl didn't make too much of a scene, Sakura peeked over her shoulder to see if anyone was behind her. She sighed in relief since she was the only person at the station at this time. Thank goodness I took the late flight home, she thought to herself. Then appeared 3 girls standing agape from behind the counter, one she noticed was slightly red as if she forgot to breathe. Sakura just flashed them all a smile, "How are you all doing ladies?"

"I have your cover shots hanging on my wall, but you are so much prettier in person," said one girl with brown hair that was tucked into two neat buns on top of her head. "By the way, my name is Ten Ten. It's my pleasure to meet you."

"H-h-hello Haruno-san. It's an honor to be graced by your presence. C-c-can I please have your autograph?" a voice creeked from behind Ten Ten. "My name is Hinata Hyuuga, nice to meet you." she said and bowed humbly.

"So… is your hair naturally pink or is it dyed? There's no way that it's natural right? Because that's just crazy! Do you get to keep all the clothes they have you wear at photo shoots? Or do they make you buy them? Where's your…" a blonde rambled before she was elbowed at her side by an annoyed Ten Ten.

"Seriously Ino, you need to stop… right… now…" Ten Ten said behind gritted teeth and a faux smile while having her eyes glued on Sakura.

"You girls are quite cute. I didn't think anyone recognized me since I stopped modeling years ago," Sakura said knowing quite well she was fishing for more compliments. But it was true that she hasn't been in the business for about 2 years now. Yet it was always nice to get recognized wherever she went. "I'm gonna be in town for about a week. Here's my card, let me buy you girls a round of drinks sometime. See ya!" she said as she walked out of the building.

"Wow, this has to be the most awesomest day of my life! Who would have thought Sakura Haruno was a nice person? I always thought if I ever met a celebrity they would be flat out bitchy. Boy was I wrong huh? I'm so glad we decided to work here this summer," Ino shouted in glee.

"This is first best idea you've ever came up with Ino, I'll give you that much credit at least," Ten Ten teased.

"W-w-we should call Sakura-chan and t-t-tell her to come out tomorrow night. I'm sure the gang won't mind right? B-b-besides, she hasn't been to Konoha in almost 10 years so it would be nice t-t-to show her what's new," Hinata stuttered out.

"We're gonna be hanging out with a celebrity! That means we'd better go shopping tomorrow morning," Ino exclaimed.

Ten Ten and Hinata looked at each other and sighed. When it came to shopping with Ino, she was like a soldier on a mission. Price did not matter one bit. One time she spent $1000 on a Gucci dress she had seen in a magazine ad on supermodel Temari. "Alright, we'll go tomorrow morning," Ten Ten said as she rolled her eyes.
