A/N: Please please please please please review! Okay, that's my a/n. :)

"Listen Minato, it's my birthday, and I'm having a party," Jiraiya told him.

"So what do I have to do?" Minato asked, worried about what his teacher was about to say.

"You're almost a man, Minato," Jiraiya said seriously. "You are thirteen years old. And you have never had a single date."

"Oh no," Minato muttered. "Sensei, please don't make me do this."

"There are lots of girls after you!" Jiraiya insisted. "And you will bring one of them to my party. Because that's what I want as my birthday present."

"Sensei," Minato groaned. "Fine. When's the party?"

"Tonight," Jiraiya grinned.

Minato stood up abruptly and left.

"Where are you going?!" Jiraiya shouted.

"To find a girl," Minato answered, sounding very irritated.

Minato wandered around Konoha, looking around at the girls he saw. Most of them blushed when they saw him and they would definitely have said yes if he had asked. Then he thought that they might count on a relationship, but he only wanted something for this one time. He didn't want anything long term. He stopped by a random shop and looked at the trinkets.

"Looking for a present for your girlfriend?" the old owner asked kindly.

"No, actually I'm looking for a girlfriend," Minato answered.

"Well I've heard that Kushina-chan has transformed into quite the beauty," the owner nudged him suggestively.

"Really?" Minato feigned interest. "I'll be leaving now…"

Well he supposed that could work. She did owe him. After all, she had never paid him back after that ramen paying incident. And she would never want a relationship with him, so it would just be a onetime thing. So Minato headed straight to the ramen stand, where Kushina was sitting with a stack of bowls in front of her. There was some guy next to her that was desperately trying to talk to her.

"Hey Uzumaki!" Minato greeted her, nonchalantly pushing the guy off the chair and sitting down himself.

"Namikaze, what are you doing here?" Kushina narrowed her eyes suspiciously, ignoring the guy lying on the ground and shouting at Minato.

"Look, I need you to pay me back," Minato told her.

"But I'm out of money again," Kushina shrugged. "I spent it all on ramen."

"Well then, you'll just have to pay me back in a different way," Minato grinned.

"Ew, Namikaze don't think like that!" she glared at him.

What was this blonde idiot thinking? She wasn't that kind of person.

"Not like that," Minato sighed. "I need you to be my date."

What was she thinking? He was a perfectly normal kind of person, not like that.

"I don't think so," Kushina laughed.

"You do owe me," he reminded her. "It's not like a real thing. Just one time."

"Well I can be nice too," she relented. "Fine."

"Well then I'll pick you up tonight," Minato confirmed.

"Whatever," Kushina waved it away. "See you later Namikaze!"
