Disclaimer: Why do I need this? I wrote that I don't own Naruto at the beginning of the story…must I write/type it at the beginning of every chapter?
Yes?
Well, that sucks.

Both of ours. Hers and mine.
Also, the review alerts aren't getting to my email account, so I'm sorry if I take a while just to reply!
Chapter Nine: Sleepover! Part 1
-------------------------------
Every guy is different, so results may vary. But if you want a prince, follow these steps, and it's a guarantee!
…and…its ino again. i know that you like neji, so here ya go! how ta snag a prince! no need to thank me. i know you secretly appreciated it – you cant hide it from me!
-------------------------------
Tenten blushed as she read the last few lines.
"I…suppose it's true. I…guess I do like Neji. But…it's just a small schoolgirl crush. It'll be gone soon…I hope."
-------------------------------
Thursday morning, Tenten woke up two hours early, because, dagnabbit! She wanted to have a decent breakfast for once!
She finished her morning routine, and sat down at the table for a hearty meal of sunny-side-up eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice (she squeezed it herself), two strips of crisp bacon, and a cold bowl of Captain Crunch cereal, splashed in organic, fat-free milk.
---------
A/N. (Sorry!) I noticed that every time Tenten eats cereal, it's ALWAYS Special K. So…I decided to change it…
---------
She munched away with joy.
She then jogged over to the Hyuuga Manor, to meet up with Hinata.
After school, she walked home with Hinata.
"T-Tenten-ch-chan? A-Ano…I was wondering…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that m-maybe…j-just maybe…y-you could help me get s-some exercise? I-I want to start a j-jogging route e-every morning to get more into shape. H-Hiashi-s-sama wants me to t-toughen up a little…"
"Sure! After all, it'll give me something to look forward to when I get up!"
"A-arigato-gozaimasu, T-Tenten-chan!"
"No problem! Well, I'll see you tonight at the sleepover, right?"
"R-right! W-well, here's my stop. Ja ne!"
"Alright! Ja!"
-------------------------------
Ding, dong! (that's the doorbell)
"Coming!!"
Tenten brought along her silk sleeping bag, which was a farewell gift from her grandparents, matching pajamas, a soft navy throw blanket, her panda plushie, a bag of Swedish Fish (I love those!!), and her favorite movies: Mortal Combat and Paycheck.
Her sleeping bag was navy, with a panda eating bamboo on the front. Her pillow, which was connected to it, was a big, fluffy, plush panda head.
Her pajamas had the panda head on a gray tank top. Her pants didn't match, because she had outgrown the ones that did. Instead, she had loose black pants with gray and silver shuriken designs.
She had these items stuffed in a black duffle bag with red dragons along the sides. At the front, it said, "Tian Lun's Dojo." (1)
She opened the door, expecting to be greeted with a cheerful Hinata.
Instead, she came face-to-face with a stoic genius. Hyuuga Neji.
"Where's Hinata?"
"In the limo. Hurry up."
"Geez, somebody must be PMSing…oh, wait. Neji's a guy…whoops!" she murmured under her breath.
As Tenten crawled into the limo, she pummeled Hinata in a great bear hug.
"Oi! I can't wait to be king!"
(sorry, I have that lion king song stuck in my head…lemme try that again…)
"Oi! Hinata! I can't wait! This is my first sleepover with you guys! And my first sleepover EVER in this country!"
"T-T-Tenten-ch-chan, I-I c-can-t b-breathe!!" she strained.
"Right! Sorry! By the way, what's wrong with Mr. PMSing? Why is he even here?"
"I'm going to the movies with my friends. It's not exactly a sunshine and lollipops, riding with your little cousin to pick up her friend."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…AHAHAHAHA! The Hyuuga prodigy, using the words "sunshine and lollipops" as a metaphor? AAAAh…AHAAA!! AHAA!! AHAHAHAHAA!!!!"
"…" -glare- -raise eyebrow- -death glare- -lethal-weapon-glare-
"…" -snicker, snicker-
"Ahahaa…aherm. Right. Sorry. Got it."
"…"
"…"
"…" -snicker, snicker-
Hinata and Tenten conversed during the ride, as Neji listened to his iPod.
Soon enough, the limo stopped, and the chauffeur lead the girls into Ino's lovely abode.
Ding, dong!
The door slammed open, and Ino jerked them in.
"Wow, Ino! You're house is really lovely!"
And indeed it was.
It was a three-story flower-filled dream.
Everywhere, there would be a beautiful flower decoration arranged just so, and Tenten was absolutely mesmerized.
When Tenten stepped in, it was a crimson garden – dark red roses crawled along the walls, deep velvet drapes arrayed the windows, soft suede couches and darling leather chairs were placed perfectly. The dark cherry wood table was draped over by a soft red cloth, among with a glass vase lined with rubies, filled with an arrangement of garnet-colored tulips, begonia, fuchsia cosmos, and a few maroon pansies.
On the spiraling staircase, a vine of roses crept up the wooden railing. Tenten looked down at the floor below.
As the staircase dwindled down below, the rose became magenta, then lilac. It was such a sight to see!
Tenten stared in awe below, as the story underneath was a lilac and violet oasis.
"Come on, Tenten! Stop standing there staring! My room's upstairs."
Tenten snapped out of her daze and followed her friends up to Ino's room.
As Tenten escalated up the stairs, the roses became lighter and lighter, until they were a rich cream color.
"Sugoi! Ino, your house is so amazingly beautiful!"
"Thanks! After all, I am the heiress of Yamanaka Flower Corp. What did you expect?" she replied nonchalantly.
"WHAT?!?? YOU?? INO YAMANAKA?!?! YOU'RE THE HEIR OF THE YAMANAKA FLOWER CORPORATION?!??"
Ino and Hinata stared at Tenten as if she had just screamed out something really obvious.
Which she did.
"No, duh! Wow, Tenten, you are really slow!" laughed Ino. "I mean, HELLO! Ino Yamanaka?"
"Y-Yeah, but I thought that it was just a mere coincidence! I mean, what were the chances of the Yamanaka heiress going to my school? WOW!!!"
"A-ano…Tenten-chan…a lot of th-the people at our school a-are heirs to th-their family companies…"
"Other then Ino? Woooooow! SUGOI!! Like who?"
"W-well, for example, m-me. I-I'm the heiress to Hyuuga Enterprises. A-and S-Sasuke w-would've b-been the h-heir t-to—"
"WHAT!?!"
It took Tenten a while to sink in that her other best friend was the very heiress of Hyuuga Enterprises!
"YOU MEAN BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE HEIRESSES TO REALLY FAMOUS COMPANIES!?!?!!!"
Ino and Hinata exchanged looks, then nodded at Tenten.
"Oooh, I'm feeling a bit woozy…"
Thunk! Tenten had fainted!
-------------------------------
(1) Tian – Sky Lun – person.
I'm not adding to any puns intentionally! Really! It's a total coincidence that my name has part of her name in it! (Yes, my Chinese name is "Tian Lun.")
A/N. Please review!! In fact, I'm not updating until…ten reviews! I know that seems mean…but reviews are what keep me writing! If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't even be writing this!! So…Review, please!!
