Shikamaru slowly crept downstairs making sure not to make a peep. He took a step onto the first step and it let out a loud CREEP!!!! Shikamaru twitched at the sound; he looked down the hall towards his parent's room. He sighed when the door didn't open he slowly made his way down the stairs skipping the loud one. Once downstairs he grabbed an apple then wrote a note to his parents. He read the note over then signed his name. He opened the front door then stood outside for a while then jumped off the porch. He ran towards Konoha High. As he ran, he spotted a brown haired boy with red marks on his face his black eyes shot back and forth over the park, then suddenly a white dog came out of the woods and jumped on the boy. The dog began licking the boy numerous times.

"Hey Kiba! Let's Go!" Shikamaru yelled waving his hand in the air. Kiba turned to face Shikamaru and smiled.

"Coming!" Kiba yelled then turned to face the dog, "let's go Akamaru." Kiba ran towards Shikamaru at top speed, once next to Shikamaru the two boys continued their walk to school. The two boys watched as a red sports car drove by with a girl with long hair, put in a high pony, her blue eyes gleamed in the sunlight.

"Wow," Shikamaru said watching as she drove by.

"Dude, okay let me tell you one more time she..is..pop-u-lar..we..are..not," Kiba said slowly and like an idiot.

"I know that I'm sorry she's just so pretty," Shikamaru said, "I can just picture her with me." It starts to get all fadey.

"Shikamaru why is it getting all fadey?" Kiba asked as it started getting blurry, "now it's blurry make it stop!" The blurry stops.

"Thank you," Kiba said.

Ino stepped out of her car and walked over to group of other kids. One guy turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey babe what you up to?" he asked her.

"Just waiting for a kiss from my Neji," Ino said smiling at the guy who held her.

"Your wish is my command," Neji said then kissed Ino happily. When done they walked back over to the group and began to plan for a big party.

"Hey Shikamaru!" Shikamaru turned to see a blonde haired boy running towards him. The boy didn't see where he was going and tripped over some books and went plumbing to the ground. People started laughing at him and calling him names when they cleared the way Shikamaru ran over by him and helped him stand.

"You ok Naruto?" Shikamaru asked Naruto.

"Yeah fine, guess what?" Naruto said changing subject.

"What?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto's face lit up with joy.

"Look what I've got," Naruto said and handed Shikamaru a card. Shikamaru opened it and read it out loud:

Shikamaru handed him the note back.

"So did you get in invite?" Naruto asked.

"No," Shikamaru replied.

"Oh, Shikamaru!" Shikamaru and Naruto turned to see Ino running towards them. When in front of them Ino handed Shikamaru a card.

"Your invited to my party," Ino said then ran off. Once Ino was out of sight Shikamaru jumped in the air, "YES!!"
