Previously "So Sasuke-teme has got you upset again." Sakura nodded "I know what will cheer you up. How about we go out tonight." he noticed to shock on her face and quickly added "but only as friends" he then put on his biggest grin and rubbed the back of his head waiting for her answer.

Sakura walked back to her home in silence. She opened the door to her room and laid on her bed and closed her tired green eyes.
She then shoot up and shouted "What the HELL did I just agree to!?!" she started to rub her head to try and recall every detail of what just had transpired between her and the blond ninja.
-Flashback-
"So, How about it Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked hopefully. Giving his signature grin and rubbing the back of his head thinking 'Pleas don't hit me, Please don't hit me, PLEASE DON'T HIT ME!' While the pink haired girl just stared
"What did you just say Naruto?" She said while cracking he knuckles. Left brow slightly twitching as the blond stammered to answer." It's just that you said you need to get your mind of things so I thought a night out away from all things ninja would help"
He finished with his arms raised ready to try and block any attack Sakura would through at him. Seeing this Sakura started to feel worse than she had all day.
'Wait, All Naruto was trying to do was cheer me up, and now he is shaking if fear of me hitting him' 'well we do hit him allot, but he deserved it all those times, He is probably trying to get us away from Sasuke-kun again' 'Shut up you, he is just being nice (what am I defending Naruto???) and come to think of it he hasn't come on to me in a while. More to the point I haven't seen Naruto outside of missions in months'
While this was going on Naruto just sat there, slowly droping his guard. "Sakura-chan are you O.K.?"
"Huh, ow, sorry Naruto, It's just that you kind of caught me off guard." She said with as sweet a smile as she could make
"Gomen, I guess I came on a little strong. All right see you later. Hope you feel better soon." Naruto said preparing to leave.
"What Naruto, I didn't say no to your proposal." She said quickly to catch the boy before he left.
"W-W-What do you mean Sakura-chan?" the boy stammered with an eyebrow raised
"I mean, I guess since I don't have any other plans I could spend the time with you." She said trying to sound nonchalant but failing miserably.
The boy then put on a huge grin, but not the fake mask he normally put on, no. This was one of true happiness, a grin that he has worn so few times in his life. "So you mean??"
"Yes. Unless you changed your mind." She said playfully
"No, NO, NO, I didn't mean it like that it's just I wasn't expecting you to actually say yes! Please forgive me for doubting you." Naruto exclaimed hurriedly. Waving his hands in the air franticly at Sakura, whose inner self was having a field day at Naruto's expense.
"I was just kidding you moron so calm down or I really will change my mind" Naruto then quickly stopped his eccentric waiving and sat down. A little blush of embarrassment crossed his face. 'Man he is just too easy'
"So where were you planning on taking me." Sakura said with a small grin. Then Naruto answered with a huge grin "Well, How about going to that new Chinese restaurant that just opened, and then catch a movie at the theater?"
Exactly how long has he been planning this? Inner Sakura pondered. But Outer Sakura merely smiled. "That sound like fun Naruto. So what time?"
"How about later today at 5:00" He said with his biggest grin yet.
"Ok then it's a date." She said before her teammate ran out of the stand like only he could. Feeling like nothing could get him down.
Sakura then just got up, thanked the owner for the food and walked back to her home
-End of Flashback-
"Did I really accept a date with Naruto?" the young cherry blossom groaned and placed one of her pillows over her face to hide her very loud scream.
This was very unnecessary because once again her parents where out on another business trip. But she was too frantic to realize that. But what she did realize made her shoot up hysterically. Sending her pillow flying across her room while she shouted "Wait a minute…" and thought to herself
"Ok then it's a date."
"Naurto never called it a date, I did!!!" She yelled rubbing her head. Then fell back on her bed. That is where Inner Sakura spoke up
Just don't go, I mean its Naruto where talking about. He probably forgot all about it.
I can't just do that, I mean he may be a complete idiot sometimes but he is always there for me
Well than what's the problem
I guess I just thought my first date would be with Sasuke. But that is if we ever find him.
Sakura then paused from arguing with herself to look at the clock. It was now 3:50. Only an hour to get ready. She groaned as she slowly sat up on the side of her bed.
All right, I'll go, and if Naruto dose something stupid…
I bet he will,
Shut up! If he does something stupid I will leave and that will be the end of it.
But still it's a date with Naruto
I'll just look at it as training for when Sasuke gets back.
If, he comes back
I said SHUT UP!!! He will come back and we will get together
But how can that happen if your going out with Naruto
I already told you this is traning for when Sasuke gets back
And with that she got up to prepare for her 'Date.' Not feeling at all better about her predicament. On the contrary this little 'Inner Argument' had made her more frustrated than she had been all week. Still not noticing the periodic drop of Sasuke's Kun
"I can't believe she said yes!" the blond dynamite shouted when he entered his room. Still wearing the huge grin he had when Sakura first said yes.
She had even called it a DATE!!! He thought to himself and if it he could his smile would be come twice as large.
He looked at his watch "All right, its 3:30. Got to work fast to get all prepared." He said.
He thought a moment than just smirked shouting the ever famous "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU"
With that two of his clones stared at him, awaiting orders.
"Ok, You will go and get the money where owed from oba-chan for all those extra missions." He then handed him his frog-shaped wallet and the clone was off after giving a nod. Naruto then turned to his second clone
"While he does that you will get the dinner reservations set up."
"Right!" the clone shouted and was off.
"Now that that is taken care of its time for me to get ready, got to do my best to make Sakura happy."
He walked over to his shower but not before stopping at his bed. He then lifted the mattress and pulled out a square velvet box. He then placed it on the stand next to his bed
"This will be perfect if everything goes right. And its good insurance if it doesn't."
He then reapplied his grin and ran to get ready. Not wanting to start the evening off with his tardiness. Unlike someone he knows.
