Temari watched over the girls as they continued to drink. They were all acting loopy now and seemed relaxed and giggly. Temari asked if they were alright and they responded with a big simultaneous 'YES', which caused Temari to laugh uncontrollably.

"My lovelies, it's time to return to the boys, it's been far too long and they will be wondering how many noses we have, as told them we were powdering our noses" she said smiling with her pride and the girls agreed with her but had to burst into laugh once more.

"Ready?" she asked them and they gave her silly looks and told her not to worry and relax and join them having fun. So they noticed I was holding back huh? She blushed and nodded.

"Sorry force of habit, I guess"

"I know Temari. You're extremely protective of your brothers, I've seen you. And now you are protective of us and we appreciate your concern, but allow yourself to be young again and have fun with us alright?"

Sakura was standing beside her and her words seemed to pierce through Temari. Sakura then placed her hand on Temari's shoulder and smiled toward her. Temari nodded with a blush forming on her cheeks.

"Oh Kami, Temari you are so kawaii when you blush!"

"You are so cute right now! Can we keep you?"

Tenten and Hinata were over excited to see Temari blushing so fiercely. They wanted to know Temari more and more and were fascinated by her. Ino decided to break the unwanted attention away from Temari and mumbled something that Temari couldn't understand when out of the blue Sakura hugged the blond girl.

"I've missed you too, Ino-chan"

"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan"

They talked for a little while with tears in their eyes. Temari felt proud and clapped her hands for the two of them. Sakura and Ino opened their tearful eyes and looked at Temari, who was still clapping.

"I'm glad you two are back to being friends. Remember that you won't always agree on things but you need to rely on each other, that is one of the reasons why you must cherish this time, it might run out one day. Now we'll give you a few minutes to clean up your make up and then we'll go back to the boys alright?"

Sakura and Ino looked at each other and nearly squealed in horror.

"Your make up is smudged let me fix it for you" Sakura told Ino with a final tear sliding down her cheek and smiled.

"I'll fix yo-ours too" Ino managed to mutter.

"No thanks! I'll have Temari fix mine as she's the only whose still not affected by the alcohol" as she finished her sentence she winked at Temari who winked in return, as she walked closer to the duo.

Gaara was bored. He had been sitting still for an hour and wondered when the eclipse was going to appear. Kankuro was equally as bored. Akamaru had fallen asleep and Chouji was eyeing up the table filled with snacks. Shikamaru finally called the boys over and asked them to check up on the girls.

"It's been over an hour guys, I'm worried"

Within a few minutes the girls had all returned. Shikamaru noticed they were a little pink in the face and walked a little.. off balance but didn't push for the reason. He really couldn't be bothered with any kind of arguing.

"It's about time" he smiled towards Temari who looked at him with her deviant smile.

"Sorry Lazy, we had a lot to talk about with each other, you know girl talk? You wouldn't be interested in it, really. So yeah we are back and ready to have some snacks"

"Wow, look at the place it's so inviting" Sakura was surprised to see the boys had made an effort.

"I worked the hardest" Lee announced and Tenten simply hit him on the back of the head. Shikamaru found his way over to Temari, surprising her.

"Shikamaru what do you want?" Temari asked with her cold brush off tone.

"Aren't I allowed to stand beside you woman?" Shikamaru was slightly offended but enjoyed the view.

"Umm of course, it's a free country after all..or something like that. Anyways I'm hungry and I'm going to the snack table, excuse me" she ditched without giving him any time to respond. She hadn't mean to act like this with him, but it really hurt to have him reject her. Temari knew she had been stupid and didn't need him to confirm that he didn't love her.
