here's chapter three. :D nyahaha. enjoy.
this one started to get pretty long...oh! and...for the Tenten&company arc i used 'her aunt' quite a number of times so, excuse me for that one. :D hehehe.

i dont own Naruto. i do own Ino's party. HAHAHA. still cant wait for the party!!

"Good afternoon aunt Tina…" Tenten greeted as she walked in the restaurant of her aunt, her aunt was sitting down on a table talking to some clients. Her aunt also does catering.

Her aunt turned her head to look at the direction of the entering teenagers, "Oh! Tenten!" she welcomed her niece with open arms. Tenten gave her a hug.

"Hey…" she smiled. "aunt Tina, these are my friends, Naruto and Lee…and Neji" Tenten introduced her friends, and pointed to them respectively.

"Hello there, good afternoon." Her aunt greeted.

"good afternoon ma'am." The 3 boys said, "nice to meet you…" Lee added.

She smiled at them, then she looked at Tenten, "will you excuse us…" she asked the boys. They nodded, she smiled at them, "come over here, Tenten, dear…" her aunt pulled Tenten farther from her friends.

"What's up?" she asked her aunt with a smile.

"Is that the boyfriend you were talking about, that Neji?" her aunt asked her, Tenten blushed then she giggled, 'yeah aunt T, that's him." Her aunt just returned the smile.

"So, what brings you here?" her aunt asked.

"well…our friend Sasuke, he's planning a surprise party for his girlfriend, Ino…and we're the set assigned for food." Tenten explained.

"oh, I see…so what's your plan, Tenten? And for how many people?" her aunt asked.

"Well…I was thinking, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, some chips and for 15 people." Tenten explained.

"Oh alright…what kind of the food would you like?"

"You'll do it?!" Tenten asked excitedly. Her aunt smiled at her, "of course…15 people is like an office meeting." Her aunt laughed. Tenten giggled, "well, I'd like a 4-cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza and a mushroom and sausage one…" Tenten said.

"Okay, three large pizza's then…" her aunt said getting the idea. Tenten nodded. "Then a carbonara…" Tenten said.

"It'll consume a whole tray…" her aunt was shooting guesses. Tenten smiled at her and nodded again. "Then I think a chicken sandwich would do…like 25 pieces…" Tenten said.

"alright, that's no problem. When do you need it?" her aunt asked.

"Thursday…" Tenten answered. "Two days from now?" her aunt asked a bit taken aback. Tenten nervous laughed, "uh…yeah." She said. Her aunt smiled at her, "okay, no problem…" she told her niece, "…what about your drinks?" she asked. "Oh, we'll go get that ourselves, aunt Tina…" Tenten reassured.

"Okay, good…" her aunt said. "just pick it up on Thursday in the morning. 9.30. okay, Tenten?" her aunt said.

"Sure aunt Tina! Thank you." She thanked her aunt and was about to leave until she remembered, "oh! I forgot…we want ice cream as well…" Tenten said last-minute.

"Ice-cream…Ice-cream…" her aunt thought, "okay…I'll give your mom a really good brand of ice-cream later tonight. And you go get it, okay?" her aunt said to her.

"sure." Tenten smiled, "thanks again!" she thanked. "No problem, dear." Her aunt said to her. Tenten hugged her aunt again, this time goodbye and the four of them left.

"Okay…we'll just have to pick the stuff up in the morning of the party…" Tenten told her group.

"we can buy the drinks later…and the icecream tomorrow." Tenten continued.

"okay…sounds like a plan!" Naruto said.

Tenten giggled. "So…everything's worked out, already?" Neji asked Tenten.

"Yup." Tenten smiled, "I told you, we're just picking it up…" she said casually.

"I don't actually have the number of the Suna guys…" Shikamaru said. Choji scratched his head, "then how are we gonna contact them?!" he asked.

"Fine, fine…" Shikamaru said, he got Choji's cordless phone and dialed the number of Ino's room. It rang 4 times before someone answered it.

"Hello?" the voice said.

"Sakura?" Shikamaru asked.

"Oh hey…Shika?"

"Yeah…is Ino there?"

"Uh huh…hold on." Sakura said, 'Ino…it's Shikamaru…he wants to talk to you…' he heard Sakura yell in the background. He waited a bit, and heard the phone getting passed to.

"talk to me…" Ino said relaxed on her end.

"Ino. What's the home number of Temari?" Shikamaru asked.

Ino got a smile on her face, "oh my gosh! Are you finally asking her out?!" Ino jumped to conclusions.

"I don't know…maybe." Shikamaru lied. Although he liked Temari, he didn't want a relationship yet. And maybe he will in the future, so the number might benefit him as well, later on…

"Okay! Wait. Take this down…" Ino said to Shikamaru, 'Sakura! GRAB MY ADDRESS BOOK!' he heard Ino shouting at Sakura. He also heard drawers being opened and messed up. 'here Ino! Catch!' Sakura said in the background. Shikamaru assumed Sakura threw the address book.

Ino dictated the number and Shikamaru said it out loud for Choji to take down.

"You got that?" Ino asked. "Yes, Ino…" Shikamaru said in a bored tone.

"Eee! Good luck, hun!" Ino said to him.

"Okay. Bye." Shikamaru said as he put down the phone. "Bye!" Ino said, but Shikamaru didn't even wait for it.

"Okay, so let's phone 'em!" Choji said once Shikamaru closed the phone. He handed it to Choji and Choji dialed the number he took down.

It rang for awhile, then someone answered. "Hello…" Choji said.

"Hello" the person said back. "may I ask who this is…"

"oh it's Choji and Shikamaru from Konoha…" Choji replied.

"Oh, this is Kankuro…what's going on?" he asked.

"well…you, Temari and Gaara are invited to Ino's surprise party on Thursday." Choji said.

"yeah?" Kankuro asked surprise, "okay. I think we can make it…anything else?" he asked.

"Yeah…I- we…kinda need to speak with Temari." Choji said.

"Sure…" he said to the receiver, 'Hey! Temari…you've got a call…' he heard Kankuro yell out. 'coming………' Temari called, Choji heard her voice faintly. He guessed she was coming from somewhere far from the phone, like her room or something.

"Hey." Temari said after about less than a minute.

"Hey…" Shikamaru said, Choji had handed him the phone when Kankuro gave their phone to Temari.

"Who's this?" she asked.

"Shikamaru…" he said.

"oh…" Temari blushed on her end, "what's up?" she asked.

"We're planning a surprise party for Ino…Choji already told Kankuro you guys were invited. Its on Thursday…" Shikamaru breezed through the details for Temari.

"Uh huh…what do you need me for then?" she asked getting ideas.

"Sasuke wants you here tomorrow to help set up and stuff…" Shikamaru said plainly, "you being one of Ino's bestfriends and all…" he added.

"Fine. I'll be there." Temari said.

"Thanks." Shikamaru said, "see you, bye." He said.

"bye…" Temari replied. Then they both put down the phone.

"And that's that…" Shikamaru said leaning back and resting his head on his arms. Choji laughed and leaned back as well. They decided to chill first.

"So this is the shop, huh, Hinata?" Kiba asked as they entered the party supply shop Hinata brought them too.

"mhm…" she nodded quietly.

"well…at least it has everything." Kiba said.

"let's get to work then." Shino suggested, not like he'd normally be the peppy one of the group. But he wanted to finish, already.

"Okay, let's get a happy birthday banner first. A purple one…" Hinata said shyly. The 2 boys agreed and they went over to that section. They saw a pretty big banner, like 50 inches width, it was a lavender banner that said in bold yellow font: Happy Birthday!

"This one's perfect." Hinata said, delighted, "okay…this ones a go…" she said.

"What's next?" Kiba asked.

"We'll get streamers, then purple and sky blue balloons…" Hinata said.

"I'll take care of the streamers…" Shino told them, Hinata nodded, "how many packs do you need?" he asked.

"2 bags would be enough…or three, that's up to you now, Shino." Hinata said. (So let's say the streamers are packed in those plastic packs where things like balloons or those multiple candy are packed.)

So Shino took off and Kiba, following Hinata walked over to the counter. "yes?" the lady there asked.

"M-may w-we order s-s-some, b-balloons?" HInata stuttered, she could talk without stuttering with her friends, but not yet so comfortable with other people.

"Sure there, miss…" the lady behind the counter said, "how many?" she asked.

Hinata looked at Kiba, he shrugged, "15 balloons…" Hinata said. "O…Kay…" the shopkeeper was a bit confused, because Kiba and Hinata looked confused.

"Oh. Wait, make it 20 balloons instead." Hinata said. The lady nodded.

"…10 purple ones, and 10 sky blue ones…" Kiba added in. He got Hinata's drift. The lady nodded again as she took it down.

"When do you need these?" she asked. "Thursday." Hinata replied, "where will I have them delivered?" the lady asked.

"my house if fine…" he told Hinata, she agreed. "here…" Kiba said writing his address down. "can you have it there at around…10?" he asked.

"sure." The lady replied with a smile. Then Shino came with the streamers. "…are you kids getting anything?" the lady asked.

Hinata nodded and put the banner on the counter, and Shino put the streamers down on the counter.

They paid for it and left the shop.

"Great. So that's done!" Kiba relaxed a bit.

"Uhh…Kiba, we still have to get the flowers…" Hinata said. Kiba rolled his eyes, "that's still on the day itself…" Kiba said. Hinata shrugged, "oh well, yeah…" she said.

The group continued walking and decided to leave the party supplies at Hinata's house.
