A/N: hey guys, sorry this chapter took so long.

Recap:

"INO, IT'S BECAUSE I..." Shikamaru stopped himself. Ino's anger turned to shock, she had never seen Shikamaru yell before. "...because you what?" Ino asked sweetly. It's because I love you Ino. "It's nothing, just forget it," Shikamaru told her.

end of recap

Ino rolled her eyes and sighed. It was only 6:30pm when they reached Ino's house. When they got there, Shikamaru walked Ino to her door.

"Thanks for going shopping with me Shikamaru," Ino said. She took her bags, and placed them inside. She thanked Shikamaru again, hugged him and went inside.

When she got inside, she ran to the telephone and called all her friends, telling them to come over. After they all got there, Ino told them what had happened. "Well, first we went shopping, then went to the food court," she desided she would leave out the part when they ran into Sasuke. "We started talking about the camping trip. He said that the guys were planning something! He also said he didn't want to do it."

"Well, that's Shikamaru for you," Tenten stated.

"HEY!" Temari and Ino shouted.

"Anyways, what do you think they're planning?" Sakura asked.

"Maybe they are gonna try to pull pranks? or do something to us in our sleep," Tenten stated, then, realizing what the guys could do to them, she clenched her fists in anger. "THEY BETTER NOT TOUCH US IN OUR SLEEP!!!!" she shouted.

"Calm down Tenten, I am a light sleeper, and I've been to that campsite before. The beds are very noisy, and I would wake up if anyone got off their bed or opened the door," Hinata said calmly.

Tenten, remembering that she got to share a cabin with Hinata, started calming down and said, "Oh good, thanks Hinata!" At this Hinata smiled.

"My brothers wouldn't let anyone touch me in my sleep," Temari stated.

"Shikamaru said he didn't want to participate, and he probably wouldn't let anyone touch me either," Ino said with a little sigh of relief.

"Great, I am a pretty heavy sleeper AND I've got Kiba in my cabin. I don't think he would stop anyone," Sakura said in discust.

"BUT, you have Neji. I don't think Neji would do anything to you," Tenten stated. She knew Neji pretty well.

"Yeah, so we have nothing to worry about!" Ino exclaimed. Sakura suddenly had an idea, "You know what we should do? We should try to get the guys to fall for us."

"Good luck, forehead, I'll get Sasuke to fall for me WAY before you can even talk to him!" Ino yelled.

"WHAT EVER, INO-PIG! YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE!" Sakura shouted back.

"Um...Ino...uhh," Hinata tried to get the blonde's attention.

"HEY HINATA IS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING!" Temari yelled at the top of her lungs. Both girls stopped fighting to turn and look at their screaming friend. "Well, don't look at me, Hinata was trying to talk," Temari said. Ino turned to Hinata.

"Thanks, Temari. Ino someone is at the door, your doorbell rang a minute ago," Hinata stated, a little embarassed from Temari yelling to get their attention.

"Oh, ok. Thanks Hinata." Ino walked out of her room, down the stairs, and to the front door. Her mom had forgotten her house key and needed inside.

--------------------------------------------

With the boyz, at Naruto's appartment.

"So, how are we going to get the girls to go out with us?" Naruto questioned.

"Idiot, we don't have to tell you how, we just have to show you we will," Sasuke answered.

"Ok," Naruto said.

"So, Shikamaru, how was your date with Ino?" Sasuke asked as a smirk formed on his face.

"It wa.." Shikamaru couldn't finish his statement before Naruto cut in. "YOU AND INO WENT ON A DATE ALREADY??"

"NO! Ino needed to go to the mall and didn't want to go alone," Shikamaru stated.

"That's not what it looked like," Sasuke said, obviously enjoying this.

"That IS what is was. You want to call her and ask her?" Shikamaru said sarcasticly.

"Sure. Naruto, will you do the honnors?" Kiba asked.

"Why do I gotta do it? It's Shikamaru's girlfr...OUCH!" Naruto yelped. Shikamaru punched him before he could finish.

"Just do it!" Kiba commanded. Naruto took out his cell phone, put it on speaker phone so everyone could hear, then dialed her number.

"How do you know Ino's number?" Shikamaru whispered. But before Naruto could say anything, Ino aswered her phone.

(A/N: The itallics are Ino talking, not someone thinking.)

"Hey Naruto, the girls are over so could you try to make this quick?"

"Sure, I just have to ask you a question."

"Okay?"

"Did you and Shikamaru go to the mall today?"

"...yeah..."

"So you guys did go on a date!"

"...WHAT????? NARUTO IT WASN'T A DATE!!!!" Naruto could hear Sakura, Temari and Tenten laughing.

"Then what was it?"

"I had to go shopping and... Is Kiba at your house because I can hear him laughing?"

"No, Kiba's not here," Naruto said while giving Kiba a "you better shut up" look.

"ok? well, none of my other friends could go so I was going to go alone. Then I ran into Shikamaru and he said he would go with me."

"Ok, Thanks Ino thats all I needed to know!" He hung up before she could say anything else.

Kiba and Naruto burst into laughter, Sasuke and Neji smirked at Shikamaru, and Shikamaru just sat there thinking, Ino, you talk WAY to much!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Back with the girls:

"What was that all about?" Tenten asked. (Ino had turned her phone on speaker phone too) Sakura and Temari were still laughing, Hinata was sitting on Ino's bed paying more attention to her laughing friends.

"I don't know, but would you guys quit laughing? it wasn't really that funny," Ino stated. The two stopped laughing to hold their sides, which were now in alot of pain.

"I'm hungry," Temari said. Sakura agreed, then they ran out of Ino's room to look for food.

"GET ME SOMETHING TOO!!" Tenten shouted. Ino's house was like their house, her parents were like their parents. They all were like sisters and they loved it.

"Ok, well, will you guys help me pack?" Ino asked.

"I don't know, Ino. It might take longer than we thought. We will just have to stay here tonight if you want us to help," Tenten said smiling.

"Alright, but you can't watch wrestling until Sakura and Temari help me pack," Ino told her. "And Hinata, no using my manicure set until they help."

"But Ino..." they said together.

"Nope! Tenten could you get my suitcase out of the closet? I'll go tell mom your staying over." With that, Ino left her room. Tenten made sure Ino was gone then grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V. Hinata ran over to the closet and got the suitcase then joined Tenten on the bed to watch the wrestling match.

-------------------------

in Ino's kitchen:

Temari, Sakura, and Mrs. Yamanaka were making nachos. Temari was getting the chips, Mrs. Yamanaka was getting the cheese, and Sakura was getting the salsa.

"Hey mom..." Ino started

"Yes they can," Mrs. Yamanaka said. Ino turned around and went back to her room.

A/N: I made this chapter long because of all the conversations. Hope you liked it.
