Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Big duh.


A couple of days after they had returned from their mission, Ten Ten arrived early that morning, banging on Sakura's front door. She had decided that she and Sakura should seek Hinata's help- after all, Neji was her cousin.

After Sakura got dressed, they headed over to Hinata's apartment. Hinata was already up and welcomed them warmly. The three girls sat in the front room and chit chatted for awhile until Ten Ten brought up the reason they had come.

"Hinata…" Ten Ten began, looking into the shy girl's pale eyes and adding a sense of urgency to her voice, "we need your help. You see, Sakura's got herself a new little interest and I think out of everybody I know, you'll probably be able to help us the most."

"O-okay." Hinata nodded in confusion. She looked back and forth between the two girls- one beaming with eagerness, the other slightly wincing in nervousness. Ten Ten jerked her head to signal to Sakura to tell Hinata what was up.

Sakura let out a heavy exhale and quickly looked Hinata in the eyes before adverting her gaze and barely mumbling, "It's Neji."

Hinata smiled and laughed lightly. "Really? You two'd probably make a good couple!"

Sakura blushed and fought back a smile as Ten Ten went on. "Hinata, even though I'm Neji's teammate I'm pretty much worthless in this case. And Sakura doesn't much about him girl-wise herself. We were hoping that maybe you could help us out a little. I'm pretty sure Neji doesn't pull you aside and talk about girls with you, but after growing up so close to him way longer than any of us then you might give something to work off of.

Hinata nodded slowly, deep in thought. The room was silent for awhile as the two guests allowed Hinata to concentrate. Finally, Hinata's now stilled head began to swing slowly and disappointedly from side to side. She pouted slightly and let out a large huff that blew her bangs off her forehead.

"Sorry guys, I guess I'm no good here either."

Sakura's shoulders dropped. "It's alright Hinata; you tried."

"I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you than that. If you want I could ask him, after all, I owe you." Hinata was referring to how Sakura had helped hook her up with her long time crush: Naruto. The two of them had only been going together for about four months, but Hinata had never been happier. She kept telling Sakura that she'd make it up to her somehow.

Sakura shook her head 'no' and fell back into the couch. A gray cloud hung over the girls as they pondered their next move.

"You think he's gay?" Ten Ten suddenly wondered aloud and Sakura slapped her arm. "I was just saying!" She objected, rubbing her stinging arm.

The three spent nearly three minutes in silence; thinking of what they should do next. Once again, Ten Ten had something to say. Her large brown eyes glowed and she eagerly jumped up. "Well, since we're in the dark here, I say we just wing it!"

"Wing it how?" Sakura asked nervously.

"Simple: a makeover. Sakura, we'll make you so irresistible that not even the Neji Hyuuga will be able resist you!"

A slow smile spread across Sakura and Hinata's lips as they exchanged agreeing glances.

"Perfect!" Sakura exclaimed as she and Hinata high fived.

"Well ladies, let's get started."

Sakura, Ten Ten, and Hinata met up at Sakura's around six that evening. The entire group was planning on meeting up at the local tavern that night around eight. The girls figured that tonight would be the perfect time to put their newly developed plan into action. Hinata arrived first, already dressed in tight black capris and a lavender tunic. Ten Ten arrived less than two minutes later wearing a flowing, pale green sun dress and her hair in its usual up-do. Each girl carried a small decorated pouch in their hand.

The three filed into Sakura's bedroom and dumped the contents of the pouches out on Sakura's bed. It was makeup. None of the girls were big fans of the products, but they figured that if the three of them pooled together what they did have, then it would be enough.

In seconds, the room was buzzing with excitement. They went to Sakura's closet first, pulling out this and that. Sakura tried on all the outfits until her two friends jumped up in exclamation upon seeing the perfect one; even modest Hinata found the outfit to be perfect for the occasion. Sakura was less than thrilled though.

She felt naked: dressed in a tight, red spaghetti strap top that clung to her waist and showed just a little of the midriff between beneath her belly button and the hem of her soft, puffy curls. However, the shirt didn't bother Sakura, it was the skirt.

Ten Ten refused to let Sakura out of the house unless she was in the tight, black miniskirtshe was currently wearing. Ten Ten said it was because Sakura should show off her nice, slender legs, but Sakura felt it wasn't only her legs that skirt was showing off. The skirt, which Sakura had pulled down as much as possible, only came to just above her mid thigh. Ten Ten managed to find an even shorter one that Ino had given to Sakura, but Sakura refused to wear it.

Initially, Ten Ten wanted Sakura in red, open toe stilettos, but Sakura vehemently refused- saying either the red shoes were gone, or the miniskirt. In the end, they compromised on a pretty pair of open toe, black, string up pumps- the heels just a little bit shorter and thicker than those of the red ones.

With wardrobe out of the way, Hinata took charge of Sakura's nails and makeup. Sakura opted for a clean coat of clear polish, which would give her nails a healthy, maintained appearance while at the same time not appearing too over the top in Sakura's eyes. But Ten Ten wasn't having it.

Sakura's toes and- much to her displeasure- her fingernails were painted a bright, shiny, fiery red that matched Sakura's top almost perfectly. A plain and simple girl, Hinata didn't do as much with her makeup. This really wasn't problem with neither Sakura nor Ten Ten, seeing how none of the females were so big on much of anything but lip gloss. They all preferred the natural, healthy look as opposed to the makeup caked vixen. So Hinata went on to stain Sakura's lips a rosy color before going over them with a shiny, fruity smelling lip gloss-which Sakura put in her small, black purse so she could take it with her.

Meanwhile, Ten Ten had styled Sakura's hair, pinning the pink, just-above-the-shoulder length locks up in a messy yet sophisticated bun. A short strip of hair that kept sliding out of place was left dangling playfully over her right eye, ready to be tucked behind her ear if necessary.

When done, the two dark haired girls stepped back to admire their work. Obviously pleased, Ten Ten pulled Sakura in front of a mirror.

"You…look…hot!" she grinned as Hinata came up beside them. She handed Sakura a black knit sweater. It was tight and came only a few centimeters past her tank top beneath. As Sakura slid it on, Ten Ten's smile dropped and her brows furrowed.

"Hold on, you need more red!" Ten Ten's reflection vanished from the mirror only to return momentarily with a thick, red headband, which she plopped on top of Sakura's head, a red beaded necklace which she draped over Sakura's neck, and three, skinny red bracelets which she slid on Sakura's arm.

"Alright Sakura," Ten Ten smirked mischievously, "let's get ready to melt some hearts!"


R&R please!!!
