...Most of them didn't

"Are you ready yet?" Chouji impatiently called again. For the sixth time.

"Yes we are!" Ino shouted, she walked into the living room with her hands on her hips. Sasuke, Chouji and Neji abruptly stood up from the sofa. She glowed, her golden hair was down and tumbled past her waist. Her dress matched her sparkling blue eyes perfectly.

"Worth the wait?" she asked Chouji in a much softer tone.

"Definitely" he whispered into her ear, wrapping an arm around her waist. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sasuke and Neji stood to one side away from the display of affection. Both avoided eye-contact and found themselves missing their goofy counterparts; Naruto had said he'd be meeting up with them there with Hinata, and Lee was getting in some training with Gai. Sasuke and Neji stood in silence, although not in complete silence as Ino and Chouji's whispered sweet nothings grew louder:

"Choco...behave."

"You look gorgeous tonight."

"Mmm... After this birthday crawl let's come back and do our own little celebra-"

"Ahem." Sakura appeared in the doorway with on hand on her hip. Chouji and Ino pulled away from each other and smiled back at her innocently.
She twirled around in her floaty green dress and smiled at Sasuke. He smirked a little which made her squeal. Sasuke held out an arm and Sakura took his hand and walked over to the sofas.

"Birthday girl! Come out already!" Ino shouted.

"You're very welcome by the way." Sakura whispered to Neji. His eyebrow furrowed, 'Why, is there a reason for me to thank her?'.
Sakura nudged his in the ribs and beckoned her head over to the doorway.

Tenten's head poked into the room, she walked towards everybody. Her walk was surprisingly stumble-free and perfect, especially given the fact that she'd never worn heeled shoes before.
Her chestnut hair was sleeked back into a ponytail and swished with each step she took. She wore a small pendent around her neck, it glowed a deep green.
The little black dress showed off her sleek long legs.

"Well?" she asked nervously.

She caught Neji's eye, he opened his mouth and racked his brains for words, "... You really are -"

"WOOO! You're looking mighty fine!" Ino cheered,

"Hot! So gorgeous!" Sakura joined in, punching a fist in the air, "Okay guys let's get going!"

Hiashi Hyuga looked sternly over the young blond ninja before him. And then to Naruto's hand resting on Hinata's waist.

"First of all young man..." Hiashi said whilst uncrossing his hands, "Move your hands." Naruto looked at Hiashi with a perplexed expression.

"Hiashi, what are talking abou- Oww! Oww! Fuck!" Naruto screamed as Hiashi struck Naruto's hand with his palm glowing a bright turquoise.

"Daddy?" Hinata gasped.

"Secondly Uzumaki," Hiashi continued, Naruto bit his lip and nodded, "Do not get up to any funny business. You hear?"

"Of course sir. I would never-"

"I wasn't asking, I was ordering." Naruto nodded.

"Daddy please..." Hinata began. Hiashi raised an eyebrow at her,
she couldn't be bothered with this, "See you later daddy. Come on Naruto let's go."
Hinata slipped Naruto's hand around her waist.
'Hinata!' Naruto smirked into her ear.

She turned away from her father's shocked face and walked towards the open front door.

"Make sure she's back before ten Uzumaki!" was about all Hiashi could shout.

"...We'll see." Hinata called back.

"That was awesome!" Naruto smiled at her as they walked towards the bar.

"R-Really?" she asked in her normal tone. She blushed slightly.

"You look great tonight." he whispered in her ear, he felt her ear burn against his lip. She was blushing furiously.
Her body slipped perfectly into the ruby red dress. Her hair was tousled and messy. Naruto loved it.

"HINATA! NARUTO!" called a voice from a far. Everybody had already arrived. Hinata and Naruto rushed to them.

"Hey guys, I just wanted to get this out before Lee gets drunk." Tenten started, "Thank you guys for coming out it really mean a lot to me."

"Aww." Ino said hugging Tenten, "NOW LET'S GET DRUNK!"

Hinata and Tenten circulated the club with her seventh drink in one hand.

Lightweights Shikamaru and Temari had already passed out together, Tenten presumed that Kiba had propped them up against the wall of the toilets.

Tenten decided to check dance floor. To her surprise it was deserted...

No, wait. Lee and Gai were doing pelvic thrusts to the beat of the music. Never mind.

"HEY TENNY!" Ino arm wrapped around Tenten suddenly and she was led to the bar. "Nine absinthes please" Ino shouted across to the barman.

Ino, Chouji, Tenten, Sakura, Sasuke, Naruo, Hinata, Neji, and Kiba were huddled in a circle with a glass of the emerald elixir in their hands and a drunk grin on their faces. They chorused:

"10...9...8..7...6,5,4,3,2,1!"

And then the rest of the night passed by in a blur that quite frankly, they were thankful they couldn't remember the next morning.
