Ch.1
The Beginning
XxXxxxXxX
Sakura woke up to the chirping of birds outside her window. Yawning, she got up and opened it. She brushed her teeth and put on her usual outfit, then went to get some breakfast. She glanced at the clock. Sakura stopped breakfast abruptly, grabbed a jacket, and went to go get lunch.
Oh, the advantages of sleeping late…
XxXxxxXxX
Sakura headed over to the local ramen stall, and unsurprisingly, she saw Naruto there, pigging out with Kiba.
Great… As if Naruto weren't enough trouble.
Her thoughts were, however sarcastic, and to tell the truth, Sakura had come to enjoy their presence. Guys didn't ask so many questions, after all. As she padded over to a seat, she had no idea that during her happy slurping, something was about to change her and her friends forever…
XxXxxxXxX
Tsunade paced around her "office," annoyed.
Of all people, it had to be him. Why now, of all times anyway?
She eyed her sake bottle nervously, but decided against it. Drinking now would be foolish. Instead, she summoned one of the ANBU guards outside.
"Get me that ninja…" Tsunade paused, thinking.
XxXxxxXxX
"You know, Naruto…" Sakura said in between gulps.
"Yeah?" the blonde replied.
"Since I feel kinda matchmaker-y today, might as well tell you something. It's a favor for Hinata…" Sakura said, not meeting Naruto's gaze.
"What is it? Tell me! Tell me!" Naruto bounced up and down in his seat excitedly.
"Well, um… Hinata…" Sakura trailed off.
What are you waiting for? Tell him!
Fine, fine.
Sakura decided that she really didn't want her inner to bother her for the next five weeks, so she continued. Naruto's eyes were wide. He kinda liked Hinata too, Sakura guessed.
"Hinata's… in love with you." Sakura said. It all came out in a rush. She closed her eyes and waited for the loud outburst from Naruto…
"…"
Sakura opened one eye, surprised. Naruto's mouth was open, and he looked very surprised indeed. Actually, this was probably the quietest the boy had ever been in his life. Finally, he said something.
"Sakura?" he said questioningly.
"I'm not joking, if that's what you're going to ask."Sakura replied.
"No, just… What do girls like as gifts and how do you act on a date?" Naruto said.
"Oh. Wow." Sakura said. "That was fast..." She continued.
"Oh. Well…Hinata… I think you should get her a bracelet or a necklace, ask her out, maybe for a picnic or something, I think she'd like that, make sure the food isn't ALL ramen…"
Naruto looked slightly disappointed but nodded.
"…And, when the date is just about over, give her the gift, and then kiss her. She should faint right about then, so wait 'till she wakes up then walk her home. Kiss her goodnight, then run for your life, 'cause Neji, Hiashi, and every other Hyuuga in there will be after you, got it?"
Naruto paused, as if reminiscing, then shuddered and nodded enthusiastically.
"Alright, so let's go. I'll be in the bushes following you the whole time."
Naruto looked stunned. "Wait, right now?"
"Yeah!"
XxXxxxXxX
Tsunade paused.
"Actually, screw it, let me try and break him…"

Yay! User interactivity moments! XD
So basically, we have some options here, and whichever option gets most votes, we'll go with that! So, like REVIEW!
1. Naruto totally had an awesome date and he and Hinata have a great time.
2. Naruto almost blew it, but is quickly saved by Sakura and he and Hinata have a good time regardless.
Now for sub-categories! For example, if you want option 1 and sub-cat. A, then review and put 1a/1A in there!
So, Sakura and Naruto will set up a date in the next chapter, but with who?
A. Tenten-Neji (Ahem, favorite, ahem.)
B. Shikamaru-Ino (GO SHIKA! *fangirly squeal*)
C. Shikamaru-Temari (SHIIIIIKKKAAAAAAA! wait...where are you going... DON'T LEEEEEAAAAVE MEEEEEEEE!)
D. Kiba-Ino (*fangirly squeal* DOGGYYYYYYYY! wait...why are you running...COME BAAACCCCCKKKKK!)
E. Kiba-Sakura (Kiba! You're back? Why are you slowly backing away from me? COME BACK HEEERRRREEEEE!)
R&R, and let's see what we'll do next!
