"Hey Temari, how about a date tonight?" Shikamaru asked casually.

"Come on, Shikamaru, you could at least be romantic about it," Temari rolled her eyes.

Shikamaru sighed.

"I apologize," he smiled gallantly. "My dear Temari, I would like to invite you for a night involving a fabulous dinner, a handsome young shinobi, and a troublesome yet beautiful woman."

"You don't have to be so dramatic about it," Temari grinned.

Shikamaru groaned. First he was too informal and now he was too regal?

"Is that a yes?" he inquired.

"Of course," Temari replied as if that was incredibly obvious.
