Act before you think

I must admit, sometimes opportunities are gained through spontaneous actions. Just make sure that you put in some thought about the best time to act before you think.
Trippy, ain't it? :P
"You know what your problem is Shikamaru?" Chouji said, aggravated. "You think too much."
Shikamaru closed his eyes, pretending not to care. "Chouji, the only times I bother to think are when I'm in battle."
"My ass Shikamaru," his friend said, annoyed. "You're thinking right now. Thinking about what you're going to do about her, about whether or not you should go tell her, about whether or not you have the guts to do it!"
The boy knew his friend too well.
"Chouji..."
"No Shikamaru. Don't even think about getting out of this."
"There's no point, idiot," Shikamaru replied, irritated. "She'll be gone soon, then what?"
"Damn it Shikamaru! For once in your life, try to act before you think."
Shikamaru's eyes opened, his mouth remained shut.
Chouji smiled, they were finally getting somewhere. "Now get up and find her."
"Then what?"
Chouji went back to eating. "What did I tell you before? Just do it, don't put any thought into this."
Shikamaru sighed. "You're as troublesome as Ino sometimes, you know that?"
Chouji smirked. "You're still here?"
Shikamaru got up and left his friend behind. "Alright alright. See you."
"There she is," he said to himself. "I better not regret this."
He ran to her. "Temari!"
She turned around. "You're shouting. How unusual."
Shikamaru came to a halt. "What is it?"
He was silent for a moment.
"I well, uh, you see I think that...no wait, I was wondering if, um..."
"Are you asking me out on a date, Nara?"
He scratched his head. "I guess I am."
"Tomorrow afternoon outside my hotel. I'll pick a place to go then."
She gave him a kiss on the cheek, before walking.
"Oh and Shikamaru," she said, turning her head. "Try to give it some thought before you ask next time."
He chuckled.
"Will do."
End.
