Konoha Mall…

"Now tell me again why we didn't bring the boys Sakura…" Ino said, sighing. "They should be the ones bringing all these bags… not us gorgeous ladies."

Sakura smiled.

"So you're treating the guys like servants now eh?" She replied, looking at a window. "Damn, Shikamaru is so unfortunate to have fallen to someone like you."

"I dare you to take that back." Ino growled.

"I won't."

"Damn you."

"Damn you too."

"Don't start guys. A headache isn't on my list today." Tenten said, annoyed. "But do tell us why you didn't bring the boys Sakura. It would be so much fun is they would tag along with us. Especially Naruto."

"Naruto… the group's clown." Ino said, looking at Hinata who was acting as though she didn't hear anything. "And yeah, someone would've been happier if her lover baby was here."

Hinata blushed.

Sakura chuckled.

"Naruto's the best man and the boys are the groom's men. I want them to be surprised when they would see our outfits. If they would tag along with us, then they would see what we're going to wear and it would not be surprising when we're going to ramp down the aisle."

"Hmm… that's a good idea. So… have you chosen your dress already?" Tenten asked, as they entered inside a bridal store.

"Yup."

Ino and the other two stared at her.

"What! You mean you shopped by yourself!" Ino screeched as everyone in the store looked at her. "You're SO unfair!"

Sakura sighed.

"Pipe down Ino. Listen, Tsunade-sama gave me a wedding gift."

"So her wedding gift is a bridal gown?" Hinata asked, talking for the first time since they stepped inside the mall (which was roughly one hour ago).

"Yup. It was more of an inherited gown. She gave it to me when she wasn't able to marry Dan… you know… her boy friend who died?"

"Damn that's gonna hurt. It must've taken her a long freaking time before she got over his death. She loved that guy." Ino said, saddened by the story. "If that would happen to me, I would've gone insane."

"Ino… you're already insane." Sakura said, making Ino shoot a death glare at her. "Just joking. Surprisingly, the bust size wasn't that big and the gown was va-va-voom gorgeous."

"Good morning ma'am. What can I do for you?" One friendly looking saleslady said.

"We want some dresses for bride's maids please." Sakura said.

"Of course, of course… over here…"

They stayed inside the shop for two hours because they kept changing their minds (particularly Ino). Sakura was the one who chose the dresses for them since she wanted it to complement her dress. So… their dress was a peach flowing halter dress that reached up unto their knees and it had an obi like Sakura's dress. The obi's color was a darker shade of peach with embroidered cherry blossom petals on it.

When they finished their shopping, they went to the shoe store.

Sakura chose white pumps with peach accents. The color motif of their wedding was peach and white, and it looked well both on Sakura and on Neji. The girls chose the same pair.

"Oh my God… the wedding would be oh-so-fantastic and romantic!" Ino squealed happily as they ate on a restaurant. Sakura just blushed and sighed dreamily, thinking of her wedding. Neji had asked her of what wedding she wanted and Sakura described her dream wedding to him. Just a simple garden wedding.

And Neji said that the Hyuuga Compound's main garden would be suitable for the occasion. Sakura checked the place out and said that it was perfect. Neji said that he would let her choose what flowers she would want to place and she told him that cherry blossoms would go well with peach and white. There would be some peach blossoms too.

"Neji wanted everything the way I want it." Sakura said dreamily. "Such a great guy."

"Damn I wish Shikamaru was like him." Ino said grumpily.

"Neji and Shikamaru are different Ino." Tenten corrected her.

"I still couldn't believe that Sakura, the one I thought who's going to be the last to get married, would get married next freaking weak! Dang!" Ino said as Hinata chuckled.

"And don't forget, they hid their relationship for what? Two years?" Hinata added, making Sakura give out a nervous laugh.

"We're going to choose the invitations later on Hinata's house since Neji already ordered some designs and the designer would let us choose of what invitation we want."

"What about your jewelry?" Tenten asked.

Sakura shrugged.

"I dunno. Neji said that I do not need jewelry."

Hinata grinned.

"Because he said Sakura was gorgeous enough for him." Hinata added, making Ino and Tenten's mouth fall open. "I heard it when they were checking out the garden. He wants her to be simple."

"Oh my God! Neji said that!" Ino squealed.

Sakura blushed harder and nodded.

"I never thought Neji would say such sweet words!" Tenten squealed. "Damn!"

"Hey, hey Sakura. Don't forget to show us the dress later okay?" Ino asked, as Sakura nodded. "I want to see how gorgeous that gown is."

"I wonder what the boys would wear." Hinata interrupted.

"Naruto said something about white." Tenten said. "Just thinking of them wearing white… wow… they looked so cute! At least it's not the common black suit."

"Neji looks good in white." Sakura said.

"Really good." Tenten added.

Later… at Sakura's house…

"Oh… my… God!" Ino said, checking the gown. "This gown is… is… totally gorgeous! So soft… so… dramatic! I love it!"

"Calm down Ino. Remember, that's Sakura's gown." Tenten said while watching Ino admire the gown. Tenten is sitting on Sakura's bed with Hinata while Ino and Sakura are both standing. Sakura smiled watching the reaction on her best friend.

"Neji would love this!" She added.

"What about your hair Sakura?" Tenten asked.

Ino looked at Sakura with a smile.

"Leave that to me."

"So… Neji… what do you think?" Sakura asked, looking at an elegant looking invitation. "The Japanese thingy or this elegant one?"

Neji just stared at the two invitations.

"Hmm…"

"Don't ask me Neji. I want you to choose this time." Sakura said before he could say anything.

"I choose the Japanese one. But could you do it… um… lesser Japanese-y? I mean, it's too formal and I want it to be blended with a little bit of elegance and I want you to put a cherry blossom picture as a background. And the Hyuga seal should appear on the topmost part. I want the scent of the invitation to be like… cherry blossom too."

Sakura gaped at him. The designer tried to write everything on the notebook he was carrying.

"What do you think Sakura?"

"T-That's… That's going to be great." Sakura said. Who knew Neji was kinda… um… I don't have a word to describe it. Neji sighed as he leaned on the couch as the designer bid good bye and left to start the design immediately.

"Neji…"

Neji looked at her.

"Yeah?"

'God! I think I'm falling in love with this guy!'

"You tired? You want something to drink?" Sakura asked, standing up.

Neji raised an eyebrow at her.

"Better start being a wife…" Sakura winked making him blush a bit. "I'm going to be your wife right? Practice makes perfect."

Neji smiled then chuckled a bit.

"I'm not tired Sakura, don't worry." He said, standing up. "Do you want to go out and eat?"

(A.N.: Who could blame him? He has a crush on Sakura and she's going to be his wife anyway)

Sakura's eyes brightened.

"Of course!"

She linked her arm with Neji as they exited the Hyuuga household. Hinata just smiled and watched them leave out of the door as they walked happily.
