A/N: Again, A BIG THANK YOU to all of you! MUACKS :D
"Wait... This is Shikamaru's number?"
Hinata nodded solemnly. "It took me a long time to get his number, Temari, use it wisely."
Temari just stared at the little slip of paper in her hand, with Shikamaru's number printed in clean, clear handwriting. Her heart started to beat really fast as she considered her options.
"Temari, just go ahead with it! You can do this! You'll see, good things would happen!" Hinata urged.
"What if I text him and he goes: Ahh... Temari... That girl with the fan... With the moons on it. MOON! Temari sent me this valentine! She's so creepy! I will never talk to her ever aga-"
"Or what if," Hinata cut in, "He goes: Temari? Hmm, that's one hell of an attractive girl. Plus she's bold enough to text me. Troublesome, but I like it."
Temari blushed at her words. "Well, easy for you to say! Your heart isn't racing at a thousand miles per hour!"
Hinata shook her head at the exaggeration. "Text him Temari. You won't regret it." She smiled, then walked off.
Temari looked at the number again then pulled out her handphone. She constructed a casual and almost perfect message: 'Hey Shikamaru, I was wondering if you'd like to train with me and my bros when they come to visit? Sorryfor the random text but we've got a score to settle... :P' She did not dare to press send, and just stared at the message. It was then that she noticed the lack of a spacing between 'sorry' and 'for'. Tapping the space in between the words, her thumb slipped... And pressed 'send'.
She almost died from a heart attack. She tried with no avail to cancel the message, to defer it, to delete it, but it was no good. Not only was it sent, it was received.
All she could do was sit there and wait. Wait and hope for a reply.
A/N: Okay, the handphone thing is really non-ninja, but I'm sure I revealed where I'm getting my inspiration from ;)
