P.S. PLEASE READ!!: Sasuke is really OOC in this chapter. Please forgive me (and him.) He and everyone else will be in character (IC) for the rest of the story.

"Well, we should decide now on who we're asking out," Sasuke suggested after Tsunade had left. "And It definitely shouldn't be anyone we hardly know."

"Well, there's four of us, dattebayo." Naruto announced. "And, to tell you the truth, there's really only four kunoichi that we all know."

"Yeah, I know who you're talking about," Shikamaru agreed. "The only options are asking out Sakura, Ino, Tenten, or Hinata."

"So all of us will get one of them," Neji stated.

"Yeah. Hopefully, though, they'll accept," Naruto said. "Dattebayo, let's discuss who should ask out who."

"We must truly be pathetic so we actually have to DECIDE who's gonna ask out who," Shikamaru whined.

"Who cares! What if two of us ask out the same person?" Naruto objected. "Let's just sort out who's asking out who."

"ALRIGHT THEN!!" Sasuke cheered. Everyone looked at him funnily. "Err...I mean...hn.

"Hnnnnnnnn," Neji replied.

"Hnnnnnnnnnn," Sasuke fought back.

"Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn," Neji argued.

"HNNNNNNNNNNNNN!! SHUT UP!!" Naruto argued.

"Now you know how we feel when you never shut up, idiot," Shikamaru complained.

"Okay, whatever!! Let's get this thing settled," Naruto announced.

"Okay. Let's start with Ino. Who's gonna ask out Ino?" asked Sasuke. "Because it's not gonna be me."

Everyone stood there motionless and speechless.

"I say Shikamaru should ask out Ino, dattebayo! I mean, they're on the same team and all!" Naruto announced.

Shikamaru blushed. "What the heck, Naruto? You and Sasuke are on the same team, too!"

"WHAT THE HECK, SHIKAMARU-BAKA!!" Naruto announced. Sasuke just started twitching and continued said twitching for a really long time afterwards.

"Well, Sasuke said he's not asking Ino out, and I sure as heck aren't. And Naruto suggested Shikamaru asking Ino out, so he obviously doesn't want to ask her out. Shikamaru, you're asking Ino out. That's final," Neji argued.

"B-but-" Shikamaru tried arguing but failed.

"NO BUTS!!" Naruto hollered. "No way in heck are Neji, Sasuke, and I asking Ino out! You can do that!"

"Too tired to argue," Shikamaru complained. "Besides, I only have to ask her out. She might decline, first of all, and the dance is only one night if she accepts, which she won't. She loves you, Sasuke."

"Which is exactly why I refuse to ask her out," Sasuke replied.

"Moving on!" Shikamaru replied, wanting to get Ino off the conversation. "Who's gonna ask out Tenten?"

"Not me," Sasuke backed away. "She's not my type."

"That's the stupidest question ever!" Naruto objected. "Neji should ask out Tenten because they're best friends and they're both a year older than us!"

"WHAT?!" Neji argued. "You-you can't just PROCLAIM that I'm gonna ask out Tenten!"

"But neither me nor the idiot will," Sasuke commented.

Neji groaned. "Oh, come on, do I have to?"

"Well, if you could date any girl in the whole world, who would it be?" Shikamaru asked, pretty much knowing the answer.

"..." Neji replied.

"Then it's settled!" Naruto announced. "Neji's asking out Tenten! Now we have to find out who's asking Hinata, and who's asking Sakura!"

"Naruto, you can ask out Hinata-sama. She feels more comfortable around you than Sasuke," Neji told him.

"Fine by me," Naruto replied. "I'd rather have Hinata than Sakura. So, it's settled! And that means that Sasuke is asking out Sakura!"

"WHAT?!" Sasuke objected. "I receive no say in anything, do I?"

"Not really," everyone else snickered.

"So you guys are pretty much forcing me to ask out Sakura?" asked Sasuke.

"Yup."

"What if I want to ask out Hinata, Tenten, or Ino?"

"You don't."

"Says who?"

"You know darn well you'd rather go out with Sakura than anyone else," Shikamaru told him.

"Well...TENTEN HYUUGA!! HINATA UZUMAKI!! INO NARA!!" was his comeback.

"What the heck?" Neji asked.

"...you know, I kinda combined the girls you're asking out with your last names, so it's as if you married them...it's supposed to be funny..."

"Well, it's not," Naruto shook his head.

"Shut it, Uzumaki!" Sasuke annoyedly said.

"Make me."

"Urgh. You guys are so annoying. I can't believe I have to ask out SAKURA," Sasuke grumbled. "I mean, we're friends and all, but, as you know, I'm kinda not the woman-loving type of man...especially not Sakura...because she's my friend...and-"

"No. You like her. You want to marry her. Um. Duh," Naruto replied. "Can you guys be optimistic and PRETEND to like the person you have to ask out. I mean, Hinata's not that bad; I'd rather ask her out than anyone else! Just close your eyes and imagine your girl with you...dancing with you in the moonlight...looking stunningly gorgeous...and when I say 'open,' tell me what you saw!" Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru closed their eyes. Naruto saw Shikamaru deep in thought, Neji biting his lip and closing his eyes even tighter, and he heard Sasuke sigh deeply. "Huuuuuuuuh..."

"Open your eyes!" Naruto cheered. Sasuke and Neji did, but Shikamaru was still imagining. "Neji, you were biting your lip and closing your eyes super tight. What did you see?"

"My mind took over...I saw Tenten slow-dancing with me...and wow, I looked really happy..." Neji whined.

"Ooh! Nice, Neji!" Naruto cheered. "Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru was lost in thought; his eyes still closed.

"Shikamaru? Shikamaru?! SHIKAMARU?!"

Shikamaru finally snapped his eyes open. "What?! What?!"

"What were you thinking?" asked Naruto.

"I saw me and Ino laying on the grass and watching the stars...and I stood up for a minute and she stood up too and kissed me...and we were still kissing when you interrupted me," Shikamaru nervously explained.

"Nice, Shikamaru!! Sasuke? What did you see?"

Sasuke paused for a moment. And then he whined like a little baby. "She looked sooooo hot..."

PLEASE TELL ME IN YOUR REVIEW IF THAT CHAPTER SHOULD BE CHANGED. BECAUSE NORMALLY PEOPLE DON'T SORT OUT WHO WILL ASK OUT WHO. THEY JUST...ASK THEM.

Hope you liked it!! I loved writing that chapter but it really had nothing to do with the story! Except for the deciding of asking out the girls, it was pretty much a filler chapter. Anyway, review please! See ya!
