Review, please :)

Ino slumped on the sofa. She felt her foot brush against Tenten's slipper, lying forgotten on the floor. Tenten herself was laughing and clutching a glass bowl of popcorn, and Hinata and Sakura's eyes were fixed to the TV screen. It was obvious Ino had missed at least half the movie. She groaned. Just because stupid Sakura broke up with her boyfriend. It wasn't even Ino's fault, it was mainly Sakura's. It was actually all of Sakura's fault, because she wasn't honest with Sasuke. So why was everyone blaming Ino? Ino had an idea. "Hey, guys, let's play Truth or Dare," suggested Ino. She slipped off the couch onto the white sheepskin rug. With a nod of her head and a flick of her finger, she motioned for the the others to join her. Tenten sat next to her, loudly chewing popcorn. Ino rolled her eyes. How does that girl still fit in her Calvin Klein PJ's when she eats like a pig? "Okay, I'll start," said Ino. "Hinata, Truth or Dare?" Hinata smiled. "Truth," she said. Ino nodded, a smirk playing across her pretty face. "Alright. Who do you like?" Hinata blushed. Everyone watched her. "C'mon, Hina, you gotta answer," said Tenten excitedly. Hinata murmured something. "What?" asked Ino. "We couldn't hear you,".

"Naruto!" yelled Hinata. The girls burst out laughing. "Okay, my turn to ask," said Hinata. She looked at each of them. "Tenten, Truth or Dare?" Tenten chose dare.

"Okay, I dare you to...call Kankuro and tell him you like him!" squealed Hinata. They all burst out laughing.
"I'll pass," said Tenten. Everyone groaned. "C'mon, Ten, it's a dare, you've gotta do it," yelled Ino. Sakura was giggling softly. "Alright, alright!" She picked up her cellphone. She pressed speakerphone. "Hey," Kankuro picked up. "Hi, Kankuro,"
"What's up, Tenten?"
"Oh, nothing much,"
"Why are you calling me?" Kankuro sounded confused.

"To tell you I like you," Tenten blurted.

Then she hung up. Everyone laughed until their sides hurt. Hinata had tears running down her cheeks, streaming from her pale eyes. Sakura was trying to smother her giggles in her palm, but failing. Ino was pointing a manicured finger at Tenten's red face and laughing loudly. "I choose you, Ino!" laughed Tenten. "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," replied Ino.

"Tell us a secret. It can be yours, or anyone elses,". Ino smirked. So many to choose from. Hinata sang in her sleep? Tenten had a gun collection hidden behind her bookshelf? Sasuke liked Karin now? She decided. A smile crept up on her face. Hinata saw that smile. As Ino's longtime best friend, she knew that smile. And she also knew what secret Ino was about to spill. "Ino, don't," warned Hinata. "Why not?" shrugged Ino. "She should know this by now. I mean, isn't it obvious?"
"She's our friend now," Tenten understood their exchange.

"No, she isn't. She's a part of the game," said Ino.

"That game is over, you know it," yelled Hinata. Sakura was looking at each girl's face. Hinata's facial features were twisted up in anger. Ino's face was dominated by a smug smile. Tenten's brown eyes were filled with sorrow and shock. "Guys...what's going on?" asked Sakura.

"Oh, nothing," said Hinata quickly. Sakura narrowed her green eyes. Obviously something was going on with her friends. "Yeah, nothing," agreed Tenten. Sakura stared suspectfully at her friends, then shrugged. She should probably forget this...for now.

"So...have you guys chosen your outfits for my partayy next week?" asked Tenten, trying to break the silence. Ino shrugged nonchalantly. "I think I'll get my mom's stylist to get me something," Sakura rolled her eyes. Ino's mom had her own talk show-but she didn't have to show off like that. "Yeah! I saw the most perfect miniskirt in BCBG yesterday!" giggled Hinata. "Are sequins too much?"
"No, sequins are fine. But stripes are sooo out this season," declared Tenten. Sakura let her friends go on with the fashion talk. She liked shopping, but there was no need to talk about it all the time. "What about you, Sakura?" asked Hinata. Sakura shook her head.

"Actually...I might not go," she said hesitantly. Tenten and Hinata gasped. Ino smirked smugly. "But why?" protested Hinata. Sakura shrugged.

"You've got to go...this is your chance," said Tenten. "After what happened, you've got to get back on your feet. Show everyone you're still KHS' popular goody-goody," Sakura shrugged again.

"I'm tired," whined Ino. "Let's sleep," Ino took out her sleeping bag and buried herself in it.

Ino woke up. She saw the clock: 7:00. Tenten was snoring softly, Hinata's pillow was clamped over her head, and Sakura was curled up in a little ball under her blanket. She was the only one awake. Ino tiptoed to her bag and slipped out of the house.

"Where's Ino?" asked Sakura. Hinata whistled. "Oh, she just texted me. SHe said she went early to look for a costume for Tenten's party," Sakura sighed, slightly relieved. Tenten checked her pink watch. "Speaking of my party, I've gotta go meet the planner. Ciao!" Tenten strode out. Hinata shrugged, and left with Tenten. Sakura picked up all the stray popcorn from last night, cursing her lazy friends.

Ino walked happily along the street. Armed with her new Prada handbag and wallet stuffed with credit cards, she was unstoppable. "I've gotta find an amazing costume for Tenten's party," said Ino to herself. "I've got to beat Sakura!"
