'Beer?' I thought. How droll. But she got drunk from sake! I needed some of that for myself. 'I need a lot,' I joked. "On second thought," I said, "get me a sake."

"No," Temari said. "No sake till the second date." She smiled. One of those infatuated smiles that says, 'hey, let's go somewhere secret." I had the, "hey, not so fast,' smile.

So our beers arrived. I took a sip. I absolute despise beer, but this had such a magical taste. I took another gulp. It was almost hypnotic. Really close to hypnotic.

And then I woke up in a small room. I guess the beer was just that good. I felt around. I still had my clothes on. GOOD. I checked the clock. 11:14 am. Oh. I was only out for about two minutes. So where was Temari?

And then she walked in. "Ah," she said, "sho you found my houshe?" She was still drunk. I guess I agreed to meet her here.

So I decided to get things straight. "Hey, jusht sho you know," I said, "no shex." Wait, what? I'm drunk, too? I only took a gulp.

"Of courshe not," she said. "I shee that you musht not be a heavy drinker." She eyed me. "The Sand Village alcohol took shuch an effect on you." She smiled brightly. Wow, was she pretty. "We make it sho well that the tashte and proof ish more pure but it doeshn't affect your vishion. Jusht your shpeech." She was right. I could see perfectly.

Wow, was she pretty.

"You're kinda cute," she said. "Sho your name'sh Kayla? It'sh a nishe name. Everyone elshe laughed though."

Wow, was she pretty. Then reality hit me. "Oh, yeah." And wait, she liked my name. AND I was cute? Wow.

"Sho let'sh go on a date!" she said cheerily. She kissed me and we we left. I feel so good. And, wow, was she pretty.
