Chapter 3!! This should be the last update of the week, unless I get a sudden idea from now through Sunday. There should be a new chapter on Monday or Wednesday. Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Oh So Melodic Hawaii

"Oi! New girl! I just wanted you to know that I won't bother you anymore," Ashley said in a sweet tone before adding menacingly, "But the fan club will." She walked off, not understanding that Tenten wasn't even listening.

The afternoon at the beach was cut short, due to the fact that the idiotic fan girls poured honey on who they thought was Tenten, but was really a lifeguard, which resulted in them cleaning up the beach for duty. They decided to go again, but a month later, when they didn't have homework.

A month has passed before…

"Are you ready?" Temari asked as they were walking out Tenten's door. "Yes!" Tenten replied exasperated by what happened earlier inside her house.

They went to her house since Tenten needed to get her swimsuit. Once her friends walked through the door, Aya Miyagi was so excited that her daughter made friend so quickly, she overdid it.

Usually, a mother would greet the new friends and possibly make small talk.

Aya Miyagi offered them a buffet and asked A LOT of questions. Choji ate some food and the group packed some of it for their dinner and snacks.

Usually, a mother would look suspiciously at the guy who was single.

Aya Miyagi questioned Neji about his family and such since he was the only one that didn't have a girl friend that looked close to Tenten.

Usually, a mother would wonder when her daughter would come back on a school night.

Aya Miyagi exclaimed that they were welcome to sleep over if they wanted and to come back after they got to see the starts at night (10'o clock was a beautiful time to watch she hinted to Neji, who was just startled by her behavior).

Tenten came down and sat next to Neji, since he seemed like he needed saving from her mother. She yelled out that they had to go immediately, and pushed all her friends out her door. They walked out through the door while thanking Aya Miyagi for her… hospitality. Mrs. Miyagi just waved at them until Tenten crossed her at last.

"Here, Tenten! Use it for whatever you want! Invite your friends over tonight if you want!" She said, handing over a huge wad of money and pushing her out the door, waving cheerfully to her friends.

Once they were on the beach, Ino spoke out, "Tenten, I think we should take up your mom's offer of sleeping over at your house tonight! It would be fun!" The group nodded in agreement and she had to agree.

"Besides, your mom is HOT!" Kiba exclaimed out of no where, making everyone sputter and Tenten choke on the water she was drinking.

"Okay, ew! And you do know I have a dad right? He's not old looking either!" She exclaimed, with disgust in her voice.

"Fine, fine, but it's true." He said, but shutting up immediately when everyone else glared at him.

They reached the beach quickly and stripped down to their swim suits.

Tenten was wearing a green bikini top with a white Hawaiian flower on one side and green board shorts with the same white flower print of the trims. Neji was wearing a dark green and orange swim trunk. Temari was wearing a yellow polka-dotted bikini, while Hinata was wearing a matching purple bikini top and board shorts set with lavender petals coming up from the side. Ino wore a black bikini with a pig on it; Sakura had a red bikini with cherry blossoms on it. Shikamaru had on black swim trunks, Sasuke's trunks were blue, and Naruto's swim trunks were orange and blue. Kiba had a red and white swim trunk on, while Choji was brown and Shino's were beige.

The whole group set up a tent and a blanket, and 3 baskets full of the food Mrs. Miyagi gave them. Once they dispersed, Tenten went to the counter and rented a surfboard. She walked back to find only Shino, Choji, and Neji there.

Shikamaru and Ino were lying by the ocean side by side staring at the clouds lazily. Hinata and Naruto were talking excitedly about something, while Temari and Kiba were having a water fight with Sasuke and Sakura.

"Does anyone know how to surfboard?" she asked, hoping someone would say yes; she wanted to learn since back in Washington, they weren't really near any oceans.

Choji ate and shook his head, Shino was digging a hole in the ground to get that water to dip his feet in, ignoring her, and Neji was sitting there looking bored. But, he nodded his head. "Yea, did you want to learn?" he asked. "Yes!" was all she said before she grabbed Neji's wrist and dragged to the ocean.

"Tenten, you do know I could walk, right?" he asked, obviously not used to being dragged around.

"Yep! But you're not going anywhere until I learn how to surf!" She replied, still dragging him toward the ocean.

"Okay, first you have to practice paddling out onto the ocean on the surfboard. So lay down there—like that—and then when the waves come, you stand up."

She was practicing for about 30 minutes until Neji deemed her ready to surf. They went out onto the ocean, Tenten laid on the board paddling while Neji was holding the surfboard up with his strong arms. She took off and tried to stand up, but fell down. After doing that repeatedly, she finally did it right a few tries later. One time, she wiped out and was just sitting down on the ocean floor. Neji walked over and extended his hand to her. As the wave came, she took his hand and pulled him down, soaking the both of them as the wave crashed over them. He turned over, and she started sprinting away from him, laughing as she went. As fast as she is, the water slowed her down and Neji wasn't slow. He caught up to her eventually and caught her around the stomach and was spinning around to stop her from getting away.

The others saw this and Ino smirked and said, "Hey, are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" They all nodded in agreement and put their heads together to plot. They went back to what they were doing, occasionally looking at Neji and Tenten.

Coming back to the two of them, Neji finally put her down, but she was still dizzy. She didn't know she was standing and the world was whirring before her eyes. Someone pushed her (Naruto) and she landed on something warm and comfortable. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around its neck and leaned her head on it. Neji stiffened at her arms around his neck, and slowly put his arms around her waist. When the world stopped spinning, she looked up and saw Neji. She stepped back and grabbed his hand and started dragging him toward the water.

"Tenten, where are you dragging me to now?" he asked, still thinking about the previous moment, until he stopped in front of the waves. They played in the waves for a while. They decided to come back when they were sure they were going to become prunes soon. The two of them sat down and lay down to dry off. Neji dried himself off and fell asleep.

Tenten giggled unexpectedly as she thought of a brilliant idea. She gathered up sand and started to pat them around his legs.

Neji woke up groggily and tried to move his legs. He rubbed his eyes and looked around alertly to see why he couldn't move his legs. Then his alert face turned to one of horror as he saw that he had lost his leg to be replaced with a sand merman tail.

He turned to see where that noise came from and spotted the evil mastermind behind this plot.

"Tenten…" he growled menacingly as he started breaking his beautifully crafted 'tail' apart. She sprinted away from him once again to find him holding her wrists up in the air. The two of them were near the ocean side when the group came and exclaimed, "Let's watch the sunset!" They nodded and filled in the empty spot in the middle of the line.

"Wasn't that beautiful Neji?" Tenten whispered as the sun lowered itself below the horizon, casting them into the beautiful nightfall. She didn't notice his gaze on her when the sun was setting, but everyone else did.

'Not as beautiful as you.' He thought, obviously not expecting to say that out loud, which he did.

She stopped and turned to him.

"Wh-What did you say?" She asked him. She heard him, she just couldn't understand it. She had developed a liking to this pale eyed boy, but knew for sure he didn't acknowledge her for anymore than a friend.

He knew she heard, and thought that there was no point in lying now.

"I said, not as beautiful as you," He muttered, turning away from her. "I know you don't like me that way, but I actually like you. So now you know…"

He prepared to leave, go home, and sleep after being rejected, but he never expected that she would grab his hand (she's been doing that a lot lately) pull him down and kiss him.

He also didn't expect that he would respond, wrapping his arms around her waist, or that she would wrap her arms around his neck, pulling them closer.

But it happened.

They broke apart for air, both of them red, before they heard clapping.

"Woo! Go Neji! You finally got yourself a girl, now you don't have to kill me when I hold Hinata's hand!"

"Congratulations Hyuuga."

"Tenten! You two look so cute together."

"Yea! I know, so cute!"

"Wow, those fan girls are gonna be mad now!"

"-Chomp-congrats-chomp-Neji-chomp-!"

They blushed as they heard those comments and took each other's hand.

"So, are we still going to my house for a sleepover?" Tenten asked after they finished a delicious dinner of the basket of food her mom made.

They walked back to her house, Neji and Tenten now hand in hand, Tenten leaning her head on his shoulder.

What do you think? I thought that it would be way too soon if I got them together one day after they met, so I changed it to a month. I hope this chapter was satisfying. As I said at first, the latest update would probably be by Wednesday of next week, but sleepover chapters are fun to write, so you may expect it soon.

Read and Review!!
