"Welcome everyone, to the first official meeting of The Shinobi for Hinata Hyuga as Homecoming Queen Association, otherwise known as the SFHHAHQA!" Tenten cried.

"The SFHHAHQA?" Shikamaru asked, raising and eyebrow.

"Yeah, don't you love it?" Tenten asked. "I came up with it last night,"

It was lunchtime the next day and Teams 8, 10 and Guy (minus Neji because he hated both Hinata and dresses) were eating lunch by the training grounds and planning campaign strategies.

"So, first on the agenda…" Tenten said, pulling out a notebook.

"She got a notebook and everything? Loser," Shikamaru muttered. Tenten slapped his head.

"Any complaints will go straight to the organization leader," she said.

"And who is that?" Shikamaru said, rubbing his head.

Tenten pointed to herself. "Me,"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Of course,"

"Anyway," Tenten continued. "We need to think of a slogan.

"A slogan?" Kiba asked.

"Yes, a slogan!" Tenten threw her hands up. "Every homecoming campaign needs a slogan! So, any suggestions?"

"How about 'Hinata is huge'?" Choji suggested between bites of rice.

"You make it sound like she's fat," Tenten said. Choji shrugged and went back to eating.

"I know!" Lee cried, leaping up. "How about-"

"No," Tenten said.

"But why? I haven't even-"

"Anything you think of will be bad," Tenten said authoritatively. "I guarantee it,"

"What about-"

"No. Next!"

Lee folded his arms over his chest and sat on the ground making an offended face.

"What about 'Hinata is as great as a Harpalus rufipes'"? Shino said.

"What's that?" Tenten asked.

"It's a type of beetle commonly found in-"

"No, no, no! Absolutely not!" Tenten cried, stamping her foot. "It needs to fit her! Does she look like a bug to you?!"

"Well-"Shino started.

"Don't answer that," Tenten said. "Come on, people! Is this really that hard?!"

"With your standards, yes," Shikamaru said.

"You!" Tenten cried, pointing at Shikamaru. "You haven't thought of anything yet!"

"How about…" He scratched his head. "Vote Hinata for Homecoming?"

"No, no," Tenten said, shaking her head. "Hm, what can we do…" She snapped her fingers. "I've got it! 'Hinata for Homecoming'!"

"Isn't that what I just said?" Shikamaru asked.

"We all agree? Good, so that's our slogan," She said without bothering to acknowledge any objections. "You like it, Hinata?"

"O-oh, yes. It's very nice," Hinata said. She shifted her legs, knocking over Tenten's cup of tea. And even though she's a ninja, her attempt at catching it failed.

"Oh!" Hinata yelped. "I'm so sorry!" Akamaru came over and started lapping up the puddle of tea.

"I'm so sorry," Hinata said, bowing at Tenten's feet.

"It's fine, Hinata, really," Tenten said.

"I'll get you another one, right away!" Hinata scrambled from the ground and grabbed the cup. "I'll be back away right away!"

"Ah, yes. Thank you," Tenten said, scratching her head.

Hinata ran as fast as she could past the training area. If I can reach the shed, I could go through there. That would be a lot faster!

The little shed, full of targets, mats and other training equipment, came into sight. Hinata turned into the little door.

It was completely dark and completely silent inside except for these small smacking sounds periodically.

Hinata had no choice but to make her way through the shed by feel. She put her hand on the wall and started to walk forward.

I can't believe I'm actually running for Homecoming Queen She thought. Just yesterday I was planning to drop out but today I've gone to a strategy meeting!

The strange smacking sounds became louder as Hinata neared the light of the open door on the other side. She stopped as she saw the source of the noise.

There was Sasuke and Sakura making out in the corner. There was a thump as Hinata dropped Tenten's cup on the floor. A startled Sakura and emotionless Sasuke broke apart as the sound echoed.

Just then, Ino appeared in the doorway.

"You-"Ino started. Sakura attempted to fix her messy hair as Sasuke and Hinata stood watching the two.

"Bitch!" Ino screamed. "Get your hands off my Sasuke!"

"Your Sasuke?" Sakura asked, innocently. "I don't remember him ever being your boyfriend,"

"You slut! You knew I liked him!" Ino screamed. Hinata covered her ears.

Sakura made a confused expression. "You like him?"

Ino screamed and lunged at Sakura. Sakura tried to dodge her but Ino got a handful of her hair. She kicked Sakura in the stomach before throwing her to the ground. Neither Sasuke nor Hinata tried to do anything; Hinata couldn't move out of shock and Sasuke just didn't feel like doing anything.

Ino, breathing heavily, placed a foot on Sakura's hair.

"Sasuke! Help!" Sakura cried. Sasuke walked in the opposite direction of the two and out of the shed.

Ino snorted. "What were you saying about your Sasuke?"

"Shut up!" Sakura yelled, thrashing her limbs around.

"Tell you what," Ino said, leaning in towards Sakura's face. "Let's settle this once and for all,"

Sakura stopped moving and grinned. "I'm listening,"

"Whoever wins homecoming queen gets Sasuke," Ino said. "Loser has to give him up. For good,"

"I like the way you think," Sakura said. "It's on,"

Ino moved her foot off Sakura's hair. Sakura stood up.

"You better say goodbye to 'Your Sasuke'" Ino said. "I'm going all out,"

Sakura snorted. "Me too," She turned on her heel and walked out. Ino turned and walked out the other way.

As soon as the two girls were gone, Hinata sank to her knees. How can I compete with them if they're going all out? They're both sure to beat me by a landslide. She began to fall forward but a pair of strong, sturdy arms caught her.

"You okay, Hinata?" a voice asked. Hinata would know this voice anywhere. It was Naruto.

"Naruto!" She exclaimed, surprised. She started to fall backwards but Naruto's arms kept her upright.

"You sure you're okay?" He asked. "You don't seem too good. You should sit," Hinata obeyed and sat down. Naruto sat down across from her.

"Naruto…" She said.

"Hm? Yeah?"

"Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Oh, um," He scratched his head. "I was kind of following Sakura around and I sorta ended up here,"

"Oh…"

"Hey, Hinata, this is yours, right?" Naruto held out the cup she had dropped earlier.

"O-oh, yes. Thank you," She reached for the cup and brushed his hand in the process. She felt the world become fuzzy and a pair of hands catch her before all became black.
