ALD: Okay!! This chapter is about when Shikamaru, Temari and all the other characters go shopping.

Ami: C'mon!!!! What about me?! CAN'T I GO SHOPPING AS WELL!? It's like you love Naruto more than you love me!!! I'm an imaginary friend, for pete's sake!!

ALD: Well, in fact, I do. But, we'll go----next month.

Ami: WHAT!

ALD: Better late than never. Oh, yeah, the dance is like, five months away, But usually, when you buy dresses at the last moment, you usually get stuck with the least favorable designs..

Ami: HELLO??? What about me?

ALD: I told you. NEXT MONTH. Take it or leave it!

Ami: Ugghh...Fine! Chapter four: Shopping!! ShikaTema & NaruHina!!!

"Hey, SHIKAMARU!!" Temari yelled from the other side of the shop, "What do you think? Nice, ne?"

Shikamaru examined the dress.

"Hate it. Too many cuts. Meaning, many boys will stare at you."

"Meaning??" Temari turned back to look for another dress.

"Nothing...Just go find another dress."

"Well, how about this one?"

Shikamaru face-palmed and said, "NO. Too short."

"This one?"

"You know what? I'm going to pick." he said as he stood up from the couch.

He went through all the things that Temari would've picked.

"AHA! This one?" he showed it to Temari.

"Oooh...Pretty."

The dress was green. Dark green. It had didn't have any sleeves. The dress had a small cut on the right side; Knee length.

"Now, how much is this?" he looked at the price tag, "Whoa...heavy..."

Shikamaru took his wallet out and payed for it. 'I hate shopping.....Why the hell did I agree to pay?'

"Now, let's go buy some shoes!"

"No way. You can borrow Mom's shoes. She has a huge collection from which you could choose from and-"

"C'mon! At least pay half for it!"

"Aw, man..what a drag. Fine. Only half." he said as he was dragged by the sand kunoichi.

-+-+-Meanwhile-+-+-

"Oi, Hinata-chan?"

"Y-yes, Naruto-kun?"

"I think we're lost." he smiled while scratching the back of his head.

"No, Naruto-kun," she pointed to a small shop not far from them, "How about we shop there?"

"Okay!! Let's go Hinata!" he said while he pulled Hinata and started running.

Hinata's face was bright red when they got there.

"Hey, you okay? Sit down," he held her shoulders and pushed her down on the nearby sofa, "Stay there! I'm going to pick a dress for you!"

"Naruto-kun? I-I found a d-dress that I l-like." that was fast. Maybe she used her Byakugan or something?

"Yeah, really?" he turned back to face her, "Oooh, try it on."

-+-+-+-A FEW MINUTES LATER!!-+-+-+-

"N-Naruto-kun?"

"Woaahh...looks good on you, Hinata-chan!!"

The dress that Hinata picked out was pale blue and it had long sleeves. The skirt length in the front was one or two inches above her knees, the back swept against the floor. The dress was patterned with a flower-like pattern.

"R-Really Naruto-kun?"

"Now, let's go buy some shoes!" and with that, he sprinted out to the nearest shoe store he finds.

"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata sighed, "W-Wait for me!" she dropped the bill on the counter, picked up the dress and ran off trying to catch up with Naruto.

"N-Naruto-kun!!!"

"Yeah, Hinata-chan? You look out of breath."

"Ne-nevermind.."

They enter the shoe store, and find Shikamaru and Temari. Shikamaru was on the couch, Temari was showing him something when Naruto yelled, "HEY, SHIKAMARU!!"

"NARUTO!? What are you doing here?!"

"I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY YOU WOULD EVEN CONSIDER GOING OUT WITH A GIRL! Oh my god, Kiba's gotta hear this!!" he took out his cell, started punching in some numbers and said,

"Oh my gosh, Kiba!!! You'll never guess what just happened today!! Shikamaru was-----" (ALD: Hey Ami, would you mind telling me why Naruto's acting like a girl?)

"Naruto, drop the phone, or say goodbye to your wallet." he said while he stuck his arm out of the window. Naruto literally dropped the phone and pulled Shikamaru away from the window.

Meanwhile, the two girls merely sweat-dropped, and looked at the items displayed on the shelves.

"Those boys are so immature...Hey, Hinata?"

"Y-yes, Temari-san?"

"What do you see in that kid?" she asked while looking at Naruto and Shikamaru shout at each other like little children.

Hinata blushed furiously and whispered to her, "C-Can't tell...I-It's a s-secret!" she smiled.

Temari smiled at Hinata. "Have you seen anything you like here?"

"Um, nothing yet..."

"Here," she handed Hinata a pair of sandals. The shoe was light brown. There was a ribbon-like thingy. It was black. It had to be ribboned around the ankle.(or else the wearer will trip.), "It should look better on you."

"Th-thank you, Temari-san.."

She laughed, "You can call me Temari. Don't worry about honorifics."

"H-hai!"

"Man, fuck it!" a white haired man enters the shop, "Why do I have to go fucking shopping with you!? This sucks!" the room's attention turned to the white-haired man.

"C'mon, Hidan. Leader-sama told us to buy Konan some new pair of shoes. It's not like I wanted to go anyway, un."

The foul-mouthed man sat on the couch next to the one Shikamaru sat in earlier.

"Girly man, would you hurry the fuck up? I have to go meet up with someone."

"Quit calling me girly man. You know I'm a guy. And who the hell would want to meet up with you, un?" Deidara asked.

"None of your fucking business, blondie bitch." the white-haired man retorted.

"Be nice. There are children in here, yeah." the blond smirked.

"Whatever...I'll leave you to whatever it is you're fucking doing. I'm going to the fast food center. I have a date. Don't do anything shitty to ruin it."

"Stop cursing, un." he muttered

"Like I said, whatever." he said as he stepped out of the room. The cashier was very shocked by the way that the man was acting. (specifically, speaking.)

After the man was gone, Naruto whispered to Shikamaru, "Hey, Shikamaru, did you notice how much that whitey swore? I've never seen anyone curse that much in my whole life."

"Yeah...Me too.."

After like half an hour, Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru and Temari finally finished shopping.

Naruto's stomach growled.

"HEY!! I'm starving! Let's go get something to eat!"

Temari's stomach also growled. "Whoaa...He's right. I know a small restaurant not far from here."

Shikamaru felt his something crawl up his skin.

"Uh-uh. NO. We're eating at my place. When Temari picks where to eat, I usually come home with an empty wallet. Thus resulting in my mother yelling at-"

"OKAY!! Enough chit-chat. Let's just go already." the obviously steamed blonde pulled the slacker and started walking.

Naruto arched his arm a little; Like the ones they do in weddings.

"Shall we, Milady?"

Hinata closed her eyes, giggled and hugged Naruto's arm.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-In Shika's House-+-+-+-+-+-+-

"Ugghhh! Why did you have to make me walk that far?" Shikamaru collapsed on the couch.

"Because, Shiki," Temari sat down on his back, "I felt like it."

"C'mon, woman! Get off my back! You should consider going on a diet sometimes.." he retorted.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" she pulled Hinata and Naruto down to sit on Shikamaru.

"MOM!!! DAD!! ANYONE!!! HELP ME!!" he desperately yelled while his face was being pushed deeper and deeper into the cushions.

"Serves you right," she said as she got off and helped Naruto and Hinata up, "HAAHH!! You two are kinda heavy." she laughed.

"I'M SO HUNGRY......" Naruto complained.

"Mom?" Shikamaru ran to the kitchen, "Oh, great," he ran back to the living room, "She's not here...Darn..I can't cook."

Temari smirked, "Well, I can!"

Shikamaru was terrified, "N-NO!! Let's have Hinata cook, or Na-!"

"NO!" she yelled and then she pushed Shikamaru down, "I'm going to cook, and there's nothing you can do about it! C'MON HINATA!" she said as she pulled Hinata away from the trembling boys.

"Y-yes!" she quickly followed.

"Hey, Naruto?" Shikamaru, who hid behind Naruto earlier, tugged Naruto's shirt.

"Y-yeah?" he quickly answered.

"Can you go to my funeral after this? It would really mean a lot to me.." he weakly smiled.

"Sure thing, buddy."

ALD: Haha, I don't know if this chapter is good enough..Tell me what you think about it. I'm still not sure if I'm writing decent fics..

Ami: HAAA!! Finally got some sleep...Much better.

ALD: Hey! Were you even listening to me, Ami?

Ami: Of course I wasn't.

ALD: Nevermind.
