part 2! srry haven't uploaded in a while school ugh wat a drag haha my other story should be updated by tomorro
The seven girls all walked to the most popular dress store in Konoha. Actually, it was the only dress store with ballroom attire, it's called "The Best Dress" Tenten absolutely hates this store. "Come on, guys! Seriously? 'The Best Dress?' Why here!" Tenten complained outside the store.
"Because, there are no other dress stores in Konoha, at least none that have what we're looking for," Sakura replied, opening the door.
"Ugh, let's get this over with," Tenten complained as she walked in.
"Ooh! Tenten! Try this on!" Hinata exclaimed, holding a lavender halter dress, with a silvery lace belt at the waist.
"I don't know, Hinata, lavender and lace? Would it really be good for me?" Tenten asked, hoping she wouldn't have to try the dress on.
"Just try it on, you never know," Temari replied, shoving Tenten into the fitting room.
"Alright, fine, I'll put it on." Tenten put the dress on and came out, looking more uncomfortable than ever.
"Okay, you're right, lavender and lace, don't mix with you," Ino concluded, then looked at Hinata. "Hinata, you try it on."
"Okay, Ino-san," Hinata replied. Tenten got changed back into her clothes, handed Hinata the dress so she could try it on. Hinata came out less than a minute later.
"How do you change so quickly!" Tenten exclaimed, as Hinata came out looking like he dress was made for her.
"What do you think?" Hinata asked, Ino moved her finger to signal her to turn around.
"It's darling! So cute for our little Hinata!" Ino exclaimed, Hinata blushed slightly.
"One dress down, six to go," Yumi said smiling.
"You guys really think so?" Hinata asked.
"Is the sky blue?" Temari replied.
"Is water wet?" Matsuri added.
"Thanks! I'll get it then," Hinata replied.
Wow, Hinata can truly pull that dress off. I know it's not really me, but I kind of hope we can find a dress that fits my personality, or at least one that suits me, Tenten thought.
"Hmm…how about this?" Matsuri asked, holding up teal green blue dress, with a low back, and V-neck.
"I'm not sure what it will do with Tenten's skin color, like make it tanner or paler, but try it on," Sakura said, handing the dress to Tenten.
Tenten came out, the design looked good, but the color wasn't suiting her, like Sakura had said. "Matsuri, why don't you try it on? It'd look better on you," Tenten said as she went get changed out of her dress.
"Tenten, before you get back into your clothes try this dress!" Ino yelled, throwing a dark purple halter dress with a slit down the left leg.
"Ino! I'm not in the room five miles away! You don't have to yell!" Tenten yelled back.
"Both of you shut up! Tenten, just put the dress on and give the other one to Matsuri," Temari ordered.
Tenten and Matsuri came out the same time. Matsuri looking great in her dress, while everyone learned that purple wasn't Tenten's color. "Now you guys see why I don't wear purple?" Tenten declared.
"It's weird, looks like pink might be the only color other than white that will work," Hinata said.
"I don't really want to wear a dress the same color as what I usually wear, I want to be different, considering I never wear a dress," Tenten replied.
"Try this, if it doesn't work it most likely will be the design," Temari said, handing Tenten a black strapless corset dress, with a slit going up the left leg. "Ino, you try on the purple dress."
Tenten and Ino walked out, Ino kept staring at herself in the mirror. Everyone else staring at Tenten, critiquing, not Tenten, but the design of her dress. "Ugh! Can we give up yet?" Tenten groaned.
"No, it's only the fourth dress, besides, the rest of us need to find one, so we're not giving up!" Yumi replied. "Temari, you try it on, it seems to fit your personality."
"And Tenten, try this one on," Sakura added, handing her a cherry red dress, with only one sleeve that started below the shoulder and turned from skin tight to bell sleeved.
"It's really pretty," Tenten said under her breath. I wonder if this one will suit me, she thought, walking into the dressing room once more.
Temari came out the dress suiting her figure perfectly, Tenten walked out, this time it wasn't the color, but the design wasn't right. "Yeah…um, Sakura, I think this would suit you better than me," Tenten said, Yumi suddenly snapped her fingers.
"That's it!" she said, standing p from the chair she was sitting in.
"What's it?" Matsuri asked.
"The reason why we can't seem to find a dress that suits Tenten, we're all choosing dresses that would suit ourselves! Tenten needs a dress that will not only suit her figure, but her personality, so far we've only been getting pieces of the puzzle, that's why Tenten doesn't have a dress yet!" Yumi explained.
"So, we should let Tenten choose her dress?" Hinata asked.
'No, I'm pretty sure we all know that Tenten wouldn't know what to pick, no offense, Tenten," Yumi replied.
"None taken, it's true," Tenten assured her.
"So, what now?" Ino asked.
"Tenten, take the dress off and give it to Sakura, Sakura, put the dress on see if you like it. I'll go get this dress that I think might suit Tenten perfectly!" Yumi said, running off.
"Y-Yumi! Never mind, she can't hear me," Tenten said, walking into the dressing room.
Yumi came running back within two minutes, not showing the dress she got for Tenten or herself to anyone. "Tenten! Quick, take the dress, before Ino tries to take out of my hands!" Yumi cried out.
"I just want to see it!" Ino yelled.
"Okay!" Tenten shouted back.
The two girls came out at the same time. Yumi in a deep ocean blue strapless dress with a slit up the right leg. Tenten in a dark turquoise blue satin dress, with one left strap the doesn't tie until the middle of the back, a black ribbon loosely on the waist coming together with a black rose on her right hip. Finally, the dress Tenten suited, the dress that made her blush with it's beauty. "Well?" Yumi asked.
"It…it's beautiful!" Tenten said, staring at herself in the mirror, as Yumi gave a smile of pride and satisfaction.
"Nice job, Yumi," Ino said.
"Seriously, Yumi, this truly fits Tenten," Sakura said, circling Tenten.
"So, now that we have our dresses, and it's like, almost one, what should we do now?" Temari asked, looking at the clock.
"Easy, go to Payless and get shoes!" Ino shouted.
"Cool!" everyone shouted, even Tenten.
"Alright, let's get changed," Hinata said, going into her dressing room.
The girls got changed and headed for the cashier to pay for their dresses. Then they went next door to Payless to get shoes. Tenten, surprisingly, enjoyed herself, trying on random shoes even though they would never match her dress was actually more fun than it sounded. "Tenten seems to be having fun," Hinata whispered to Sakura, as Ino gave Tenten a pair of six inch boots.
"Yeah, I think she's finally found the girlie part of her, that doesn't sicken her. Just imagine what your cousin will think when he sees her in that dress!" Sakura whispered back.
"She doesn't even need the dress, Neji still thinks she's hot," Hinata replied.
"What? How do you know this?"
"He talks very loud in his sleep, plus I catch him staring at Tenten all the time. It's funny, he doesn't think anyone knows!" Hinata laughed.
"Heh-heh, Neji, the little perv. He doesn't ever go to the Shinoichi Day Ball does he?" Sakura questioned.
"No, like Tenten, he doesn't think anyone would want to dance with him. But since Tenten's going this year, I'll make sure he goes. Although, I bet Neji will get his suit on once he hears the words 'Tenten's gonna be there' he'd come in a heart beat!" Hinata laughed.
"Well, what do you expect?" Yumi interrupted. "He's had a crush on her since the academy. Besides, we can always force him into going." Yumi's evil smile appeared across her face.
"Yumi-onee-chan! We can't force too much! We already forced Tenten into this, you know!" Sakura protested.
"Calm down, cuz, I have no doubt that Neji will come once he knows Tenten will go," Yumi replied with a laugh.
The girls quickly purchased their shoes, Ino bought a pair of black, five inch sandals, with straps crisscrossing into a clip at the ankle. Sakura had a pair of cherry red, three and a half open toed heels. Hinata bought a pair of silver three inch wedges. Matsuri bought a pair of black two inch heels. Temari had a pair of four inch ruffled, black Candies. Yumi had a pair of four inch Stiletto heels, with ribbon the same color as her dress. Tenten bought a pair of three and a half inch, black heels, just like Tsunade's.
"Accessories anyone?" Ino asked, as they reached the jewelry store.
"Sure!" even Tenten agreed.
The girls bought some jewelry, and other accessories. Tenten found a necklace with a black rose, same as on her dress, with a small leaf the same color as her dress, and matching earrings. She couldn't believe how much fun shopping could be! It was so unlike her, but she seemed to have found that girlie side of her that everyone there was. The day was ending and all the girls had at least one thank you from a civilian. It was nearing six o'clock, so the girls stopped off at Ichiraku's Ramen shop for some dinner before heading back home.
"So, Tenten, what did you think?" Temari asked after everyone got their order.
"About what?" Tenten replied, eating the noodles.
"Having a girl's day out!" Matsuri and Sakura replied.
"I have to say, it was more fun than I thought it would be. I've always hated shopping, but this was fun," she said.
"So, you think Neji will dance with you?" Yumi asked, Tenten blushed.
"W-why would he want to dance with me?" Tenten stuttered.
"Because he loves you!" Hinata and Ino shouted, laughing.
"What? No he doesn't," Tenten's face was tomato red.
"Tenten, remember, back when you were in the academy and you had to take that course with a Shinobi as your teacher? I was you're temporary sensei, even then I could tell that Neji liked you! Do you think I'd lie?" Yumi said, eating more of her ramen.
"No, but I just don't see it. I mean he was always so cold towards me and anybody else, at first I honestly didn't think he had a heart at all!" Tenten explained.
"People can change, look at Naruto, he's grown up a bit since he left with Jiraiya-sensei," Ino replied.
"I guess, but-"
"Tenten-chan, just trust us, Neji-onii-san, will ask you to dance," Hinata said, putting her hand on Tenten's.
Tenten didn't know what to say, so she just finished eating her ramen. After they had all finished, they headed to their houses. Ino didn't want Tenten to leave anything at home the day of the dance, so she took everything with her. Tenten was exhausted, shopping was fun, but tiring. She walked home, lazily opened the front door and headed upstairs to her room. She changed into some more comfortable clothes, then passed out on her bed.
