Flashback: "Alright, Sasuke…. What do you want?" Neji said, bringing up the topic of why they really were here.

"Oh yeah,… well….I…" and Sasuke told them what he wanted. Leaving the boys' mouths wide open.

"Are you kidding me?" Neji asked. Sasuke shook his head, Shikamaru sighed and Naruto started to laugh his head off.

"You….want dating advice so you can ask Sakura-chan out! Oh my god, it's killing me!" Naruto howled in laughter, Sasuke and Neji punched him, HARD. "HEY! Why did Neji punch me!"

"Because, baka, you're making too much noise," Neji said, then turned back to Sasuke. "Why are you asking us?"

"Well, who else can I ask!" Sasuke shouted and Neji punched him.

"Well, for one thing," Shikamaru started, "you could've asked Kakashi-sensei." The boys looked at Shikamaru with disbelief.

"Hell no," the others said and Shikamaru just shrugged.

"You know, Sasuke, just ask her now," Naruto said.

"What!"

"Actually, that's not a bad idea," Neji said, got his phone and pushed it towards Sasuke.

"I don't know her phone number…." Sasuke said.

"God! That's sad!" Naruto said.

"I think I have it "Neji said and looked through his phone book. "Here it is, Tenten's number…."

"Hey! We need Sakura-chan's number, not your girlfriend's!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke and Shikamaru gave Neji a questioning glance and Neji looked stunned.

"Okay, Naruto… two things… ONE! Sakura lives with Tenten. TWO! Tenten.is.not.my.girlfriend. THREE!-"

"Wait a minute! You said there were two things!" Naruto said.

"So? And THREE!" Neji kicked him in the 'you-know-what', really hard. Sasuke and Shikamaru cringed. Neji smirked and handed Sasuke the phone and the phonebook. Sasuke took it and dialed the number.

At Tenten's house, the girls had finished dinner and were watching a scary movie. Sakura covered her eyes, Ino hide under a blanket, clutching a pillow and Tenten just stared at the screen. Then, suddenly…. RINNNNG! Sakura and Ino screamed at the top of their lungs and Tenten went to get the phone.

"Hello? Tenten here," she answered. Sakura and Ino looked at Tenten as she nodded and said a few 'uh-huhs' then she turned around. "Sakura! It's for you!" she shouted. Sakura shakily got over to the phone and placed it against her ear.

"Um… hello?" she asked, the movie still was in her head.

"Yeah? Hello? This is Sasuke." She heard from the other side, and her heart skipped a beat.

"U-Uchiha Sasuke?" she stammered, this had to be a dream.

"Yea, well I was wondering if I…you know… we could…uhh…" Sasuke trailed off.

"Umm…. What is it?" Sakura asked. He didn't reply. "Sasuke?"

"HE WANTS TO ON A DATE WITH YOU, SAKURA-CHAN!" she heard Naruto shout out, then a "YOU BASTARD!" and then an "OW!"

"Um…. Is everything alright?" Sakura asked… 'What Naruto said… was it…it true?'

"Uh yea…" Sasuke said, suddenly, Neji voice came up.

"Sakura, Sasuke would like to ask you on a date." Sakura felt heart going fast, in the background, she would hear Sasuke yelling "Give me back the fucking phone!"

"Um.. .if that was what he really said I would love…" Sakura said, her head was spinning.

" Really? Ok, do you mind if we come to your house?" Neji asked.

"S-sure…"

"Ok, thanks." Then, he hung up.

"Who was it?" Tenten asked.

"Um…Sasuke."

"What did he say!" Ino asked, Ino used to like Sasuke, but ever since he betrayed Konaha, she gave up on him and now likes a certain someone…Just then, the doorbell rang, and Tenten rushed to open the door. To her surprise, it Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Naruto.

"Um…hi?" She said, but let them in. Everyone settled down and Tenten and Ino wanted to know what was going on. Neji sat next to Tenten and Shikamaru sat next to Ino and Naruto in between, they all sat across from Sasuke and Sakura. The room so dead quiet. "I guess we'll leave you two alone…" Tenten said and she guided Neji to her room, while Ino guided Shikamaru to her room and Naruto went into the kitchen for some ramen. Sasuke and Sakura were left alone.

Tenten and Neji sat in her room; Tenten was wondering what was happening and Neji was observing her room. It was all green with scroll hanging up from the walls, her bed was just fit for her and had green bed sheets. She had two wooden drawers, a desk and a chair, a stuffed panda toy was placed on her bed. She had a small plant placed near the windowsill. Neji took a seat on her chair and Tenten flopped on her bed, she hugged the stuffed animal.

"You still sleep with a stuffed animal?" Neji asked, breaking the awkward silence. Tenten blushed and nodded. "That's cute…I mean…don't think of that way…" Neji looked flushed. Tenten buried her head to the stuffed animal, trying to hide her blush.

'Nani…? Did he say 'cute'?' she thought, and again the awkward silence came again. Neji couldn't help, but, mentally kick himself again and again. Without knowing, the words "Ow" escaped his lips. Tenten looked up.

"Daijiaobu?" she asked. He looked up, realizing that he was thinking aloud.

"Uh... no it's nothing, my bad" he said and resumed to study her room. Green….green….green…. that's all he saw. 'Well… green does suit her well…' he thought. His eyes traveled from a green wall to the wooden floor to her soft green bed to….Tenten. Her head was still buried in the plushy toy, her brown hair was in two messy buns and loose hair fell at her pale shoulders. She wore a green night gown, which 'bothered' Neji because Tenten never wore gowns, skirts or dresses, her gown also showed her curvy form and were up to her knees, he couldn't but think that she did look a little cute in that pose. She looked up to only to find his cold gaze on her, Neji's head rested on his hand and his stare was directly at her. Again, she felt heat rise up and her cheeks turn rosy red.

"Neji…?" she softly whispered to him, snapping him back to reality. "You've spacing out a lot, you ok?" Neji turned to her and smirked.

"Yeah, and who was it that was spacing out during training again, hm?" he retorted back. Tenten did a mock-frown and threw a pillow at him, which he caught and threw back. Quickly, she ducked and it hit the wall behind her, it made a soft 'pah' sound and landed on her bed. She grabbed the next item she could… which was a stuffed bear, she looked at it, then threw it. Neji caught it again, but looked down at it, he was about to look up and give a questioning glance, but he was hit square on the face by the previous thrown pillow. Tenten started to laugh like crazy, pointing at him and squeezing her panda bear plush. Neji took advantage of her laughing and threw the bear at her, too bad he didn't have perfect aim because of hitting the face, and it hit her chest. If you're a boy, you might want to know that girls don't take it lightly if they're hit or touched on the chest. Tenten gave him a glare, Neji smirked, urging her to lunge at him and that's exactly what she did. She playfully got him, but caused a crash. Downstairs, in the kitchen and in Ino room, the people in there decided to check what was going on. Back in Tenten's room, Neji successfully threw Tenten on her bed and pinned her down.

"Guess who won this training session," Neji said, a smirk plastered on his face. Tenten grinned, when Neji and Tenten were little, they always had mock-fights like these. 'That's right, those times were always fun… but then Neji…' her thoughts were interrupted by the door creaking open.

"Hey Tenten, we heard this crash so we just wanted to-" Sakura stopped as she saw that Neji was on top of Tenten, pinning her down, "ahh….Gomen no sai! Gomen no sai!" she said, terrible sorry that she had ruined a 'moment'. The guys just stood there, mouths agape and Ino pushed them away, scolding them.

" Wa- wait!" Tenten called and Neji quickly got off her. " It's not what you think!" they shouted, both blushing.

"No. No. We understand! Sorry to interrupt!" Ino and Sakura chorused and brought the stunned boys downstairs. Meanwhile, in Tenten's room, Neji was sitting across from Tenten, and Tenten across form Neji. Neither said a single word. They just sat there like loyal dogs, thinking about what happened earlier. Quietness filled the air, Neji gave a quick glance at Tenten, she was looking at the panda toy adjusting it so it felt comfortable in her hands. Suddenly, a question floated into his head. 'During the time we were throwing things…she had that thing in her arms, but never threw it…why?' Neji decided to answer that by thinking that she had probably forgotten about it. (A\N: it happens!) After another long five minutes passed by of absolute silence, until Tenten started to laugh. Neji looked up, what was so funny? Tenten was laughing that she was almost crying.

"Tenten…?" he asked. Tenten tried to calm down, but started to laugh again.

"Sorry…..Neji…" She giggled "I just found it funny…" she gave him an innocent smile and he scoffed. (A\N: Has that ever happen to you laugh at something that was embarrassing?) He looked outside, it seemed pretty late.

"What time is it?" he asked. Tenten checked her jade watch that Neji gave to her on her 13th birthday; she always had it with her.

"Um… 12, a bit later," she said He nodded and went to go downstairs, Tenten watched him go away. "Um...Wait!" she called, and he turned around, question in his eyes. "Good night…Neji," and she grinned. Neji just nodded and went downstairs.

Me: Alright…the Sasuke secret thing was pretty obvious, ne? You're an awesome guesser, Shadow-Ninja-Fay! BTW, Sasuke asked Sakura on a date and she said yes while Tenten and Neji were having a mock-fight.

Sasuke: What? So now I'm out of this story?

Me: not really, well I can't make up my mind…

Neji: well now it's back to Tenten and me.

Naruto: WTF? You like her?

Neji: uh….. –blushes-

Girls (except Tenten): awww, you're so lucky Tenten!

Me: STFU! I don't even know why you're in this little chat!

Sakura: well, you're the author, shouldn't you know?

Me: Quiet woman!

Ino: how come I haven't had a part in this chat thing!

Me: well now you did! Where's Shika?
