Shikamaru ran to Chouji's house as fast as he possibly could. "Chouji!!!" he screamed as he banged on the door. "Chouji, this is all a misunderstanding! I'm sorry if I offended you. I just meant that I was stupid to let out a secret that early. It isn't your fault."

Chouji quietly opened the door and asked, "Really, Shikamaru? Well it was my fault after all. I shouldn't have let something like that get to me." They shook hands and Shikamaru began to pull out something from a bag no one noticed he had been carrying in the first place.

"Look what I found!" He showed Chouji the new flavor of his favorite chips and Chouji eagerly grabbed it.

"OH! EM! GEE!!!!" Chouji screamed. Shikamaru gave him a confused look. "Sorry, Shikamaru," he began, "Shino must have worn off on me." They both laughed as they headed back to the perfect cloud watching spot.

"Are you absolutely sure about this, Temari?" Sakura asked her waiting for a response. Ino was right below the tree Sakura and Temari were hiding in.

"Absolutely," Temari replied, eager to move on with the plan.

"All she did was tell a little secret," Sakura started. "It isn't like she crushed your life."

"Oh yeah?" Temari pointed to a little kid with a random drawing on it of Temari and Shikamaru kissing. A little caption underneath it said "Temari and Shikamaru 4 eva" Another shirt with the same picture on it said, "Leaf + Sand = SANDYLEAF!"

Sakura pointed to the last one and commented, "That one doesn't even make sense!"

Temari was already lower in the tree. Ino had no idea she was there. Ino's long pony tail floated in the quiet breeze. Temari grabbed it and chopped it all off with her brand new kunai knife. The rubber band and all. "OH MY GOD! Temari WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?!?!?!?" Ino screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Just returning the favor." Temari had a sly grin on her face that showed she was pleased. Her hair was super short and Ino's eyes began to fill up in tears.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Ino ran away screaming her head off the whole way to her house.

Temari smiled. "Phase one, complete."

"Well gee wiz, I just can't wait for phase two," Sakura replied in a sarcastic tone.

" I KNOW NEITHER CAN I!" Temari sounded serious and excited. Sakura just gave her a look that screamed 'kill me now'.

"AWW I WANT A HAIRCUT TOO!!!" Shino popped out of the tree and his cheeks were red as a rose.

Temari and Sakura slowly waked away with a creepy look on their faces and by the time they were a good steps away, they ran for it.
