Chapter Twenty-One—Preparations
"Gosh it feels nice to be home!!" Tenten shouted, as she jumped into her bed.
Hinata giggled. "You didn't l-like the trip?"
Tenten looked up at Hinata. "Like the trip? Oh, the trip was fine. It was just the bruises from skiing that I don't like!"
"OH, suck it up Tenten! Getting smushed into the wall wasn't that bad!" Ino said, sitting in Tenten's chair.
"Can you please stop saying that word?" Kairi yelled.
"What word? Smushed?" Ino asked cluelessly.
"Give it up Kairi. She's never gonna stop using that word," Tenten said, getting up from her bed.
"Chyea! Anyways, I'm going to go home to unpack and take a shower. Remember—tomorrow's the fair!" Ino yelled, slamming the door shut behind her.
Kairi rolled her eyes. "Okay… Well, I'm gonna go too. My mom would probably be waiting by the door, trying to get me to tell her how wonderful our trip was. See you guys later!" Kairi said, as she opened the door to go out.
Tenten grinned after Kairi shut the door. Tenten started to go out the door, looking back at Hinata. "Wanna come with me to wash some of the clothes that we have?" Tenten asked.
She nodded, and walked beside Tenten with her bag.
—
"Does your family do anything special for Christmas?" Tenten asked Hinata, as she put her dirty clothes into a bucket.
"N-Normally we would've gone to the s-ski lodge, but sometimes we g-go to different places to stay." Hinata replied, as she did the same things with her stuff.
"Are you going anywhere this year?" Tenten asked.
"I think w-we are, but I'm not s-sure where." Hinata answered, taking the bucket, and putting the clothes into the washing machine, one by one.
"So just after the fair, you and your family will probably be headed off to vacation?" Tenten asked, doing the same thing as Hinata.
Hinata nodded, and started up the machine. "Will you be alright alone?"
Tenten nodded. "I'll probably will. Your father trusts me enough to be alone in here?"
"Well… t-there will be other people in the building, so y-you won't be all alone in here." Hinata said. "O-Oh, and I think that Ino-chan said something about having a party on New Year's Eve, so I don't think that I'll be going on the vacation. Neji-niisan e-either."
"Really?" Tenten asked. "You can do that?"
Hinata nodded. "Then… you're saying that we have the whole house to ourselves?" Tenten asked with excitement. "I mean—ourselves in like, no other Hyuuga in the house?"
Hinata nodded again. "Hinata… are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Tenten asked with a mysterious glint in her eye.
Hinata looked at Tenten awkwardly. "What… are you thinking?"
"Party!"
"Great! Two parties in one week, that's just the best!" Ino shouted.
Ino grinned as she stirred her cappuccino, taking a sip before continuing. The four of them met up in a café where Kiba and Shino worked. "So, want us to spread the word about the party, or will you do that?" Ino asked.
"Spread the word? What do you mean?" Tenten asked, confused.
"Oh, right! You still don't know what Ino famous is for!" Kairi shouted. "She's famous for throwing the best parties!"
Ino grinned, waving her hands around like she had just won a prize. "Thank you, thank you, I know. You should've seen the party I threw last year. A Halloween party. It was so huge!"
Hinata agreed, nodding her head. "I-It was the biggest party of the year."
"Wow. Seems fun. So what have you got in store for this year?" Tenten asked.
"You'll see." Ino said, with a strange twinkle in her eye.
"She only throws one party a year. That's why they're so huge," Kairi said, rolling her eyes. "I just think that she likes to make people wait for her parties. Then she can be," Kairi made air quotes in the air, "'popular'."
"Is it my fault that I take a year to think of what to do at a party? I mean, you don't just throw a party, and then think of what you're going to do at it!" Ino said, rolling her eyes, waving Kairi's idea off.
Hinata's eyes widened, sipping her drink a bit before looking up at Tenten. Tenten stifled a giggle. "Well… that's what we did!"
Ino glanced at both of them suspiciously. "What do you mean?"
"We decided we were going to have a Christmas party because Hinata's family was going on vacation for the week." Tenten explained, shrugging as if it was no big deal.
"That goes against everything you say!" Kairi said, pointing at Ino.
"Would you shut up?" Ino snapped. "We can make this work. I mean, I can help you with it." Ino said calmly.
"Hey! How come when I asked you to help me with my party, you turned me down?!" Kairi whined.
"Hush up Kairi! Besides—your party turned out great without my help!" Ino said, "Anyways, we can put together a great party by the time it comes!"
"It's in t-two days…" Hinata said.
That made Ino stopped talking for a moment. "Well… then we better get to work! I can not have my reputation as the greatest party thrower be ruined!"
"Why are we at the mall?" Tenten groaned, looking around the mall with distaste.
Kairi patted Tenten on the back, as a pity gesture. Hinata grinned a bit at Tenten's expression. Ino sighed at Tenten's attitude. "Not a mall, Tenten! A supermarket!" Ino corrected.
"…and why is that supermarket in the mall?" Tenten asked.
Kairi and Hinata started to snicker at Tenten's question. Ino rolled her eyes. "Just come on! It's not like it's going to get you infected with a disease!"
—
"This cart is mostly filled with junk food." Tenten complained as she rolled the cart into an aisle. "Aren't you suppose to get some healthy food too?"
Ino rolled her eyes once again. "What kind of party has… healthy food?" Ino asked, saying the word cautiously as if it was some kind of disease. "Besides, no one eats health food at a party," Ino snorted, picking up something form the shelf.
Kairi nodded in agreement as she and Hinata came up with sodas in their arms. "It's true. You should listen to Ino on this, Tenten."
Ino grinned at Kairi, also grinning at Tenten. "You should hear what happened once at Kairi's other parties. Her mom put out health food, and someone actually threw up from eating it!" Ino burst out laughing.
Tenten raised a brow at Kairi. "…Who gets sick from eating something… healthy?"
Kairi sighed, running a hand threw her hair. "Turns out my mom used some ingredient that the kid was allergic to."
"No one eats health food anymore," Ino said, a grin still pasted on her face. "At least… no one eats it in Kairi's house," Ino snickered a bit before putting something else in the cart.
"The kid made it, that's what counts," Kairi said with a sigh. "And it's not like he charged us with anything—"
"You're forgetting one thing," Ino interrupted.
"He s-said that if you went out with him, h-he'll drop the charges, didn't h-he?" Hinata asked, finishing up for Ino.
Kairi blushed, shrugging. "I have no idea what you two are talking about. So, Tenten, is this enough, or do we need more?"
Tenten looked at the cart. "Are you serious? It's like we bought the whole store!"
"Believe me—when the guys see these food, they act like animals," Kairi said.
"S-She's right," Hinata said, nodding in agreement.
Tenten sighed as she scratched the back of her head. "How many people are going to be at the party?" Tenten asked Ino. "Oh, just a few people from school. Don't worry about it Tenten! The party is under my care!" Ino said with a grin.
"I thought you said that you only throw one party a year," Tenten said dryly.
"This time I'm making an exception!" Ino said.
"Oh god…" Tenten muttered under her breath.
"Now that we have all the food, we need to figure out what are the people are going to do at the party," Ino stated, taking out a clipboard. "Any suggestions?"
The three girls stared at Ino with disinterest. Tenten raised a brow, propping her chin up with her hand, and her elbow on the table. Kairi stared blankly at Ino, chewing on a piece of gum she bought at the supermarket. Hinata chewed on her gum she got from Kairi, but didn't chew as loud as Kairi did.
"Well?" Ino asked impatiently.
"Maybe if we don't talk, she'll go away," Kairi whispered to Tenten and Hinata.
"I heard that, and no, I'm not going to go away!" Ino shouted.
Kairi cursed under her breath. "Well… I have to go home now! Have fun planning the party without me!" Kairi yelled, making a run for the door.
Ino grabbed the back of the collar of her green polo shirt, and pulled her back into the kitchen, with Kairi protesting and struggling to get out of Ino's grasp. "You are going to stay here until we have some fun ideas for the party!"
"Why can't we just use the ones that you have for your New Years Eve party?" Kairi whined.
"Because! Those are my ideas that I thought of, and I'm not just going to give it away!" Ino yelled as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world.
"But you did say that this party was going to be under your care!" Tenten piped up.
"Yes, I did say that, but then if I use the ideas for this party, then there will be no ideas for my other party! Do you get it now?!" Ino yelled.
The three of them nodded their head slowly. Ino smiled. "Good. Now, let's get some ideas!" She barked.
"Oh my god…" Tenten muttered as she threw herself on the bed.
Kairi did the same thing and threw herself on the couch in Tenten's room. Hinata yawned as she pulled out the chair from Tenten's desk, putting her head on the desk. Ino looked at the sight and shook her head.
"C'mon guys! The day didn't end!" Ino shouted.
"But apparently our lives did! We're friggin tired Ino!" Tenten shouted from her pillow.
"Yeah! You're going overboard with this party!" Kairi shouted with her eyes closed.
"Well, someone has to do the things around here to make it a good party!" Ino yelled back.
"But can't we rest?! We've been walking for hours to get the food and decorations!" Kairi yelled.
"Why couldn't the guys come…?" Tenten asked sleepily.
"Because!! Then it wouldn't be a surprise! This party is what we're planning together! We don't need any help!" Ino shouted. "Guys?"
No one replied her. Ino sighed. "Are you asleep, or just pretending to be so I'll go away?"
Again, no one answered her. Ino rolled her eyes. "Fine. Take your rest, and by the time you wake up, the place is going to be ready for the party."
As soon as Ino walked out the door, Kairi jumped up from the couch. Tenten jumped up from the bed. She took something out from under the pillow and took a bite. "Mhmmmm…" Tenten said, as she chewed on the chips.
"I hate these kind of chips, but right now, they seem like the best kind in the world!" Kairi said. "Is Hinata awake?"
Tenten looked over at Hinata, who was quietly sleeping with her head on the desk. "It would explain why she wasn't talking when we were talking with Ino. Oh well. Let her sleep. When she wakes up, she can have some of it." Tenten said.
Kairi nodded her head as she took more chips. "Ino was so mean to not give us any food to eat!"
Tenten rolled her eyes. "And just because we didn't come up with any ideas."
"Okay, the fair is at 6:00, and we need to get ready! Fast!" Ino shouted as she barged into the room.
The three in the room had fallen back to sleep at 3:15. Ino shook them all up, and some of them were a bit cranky. "What now?!" Kairi snapped.
Ino quickly backed off. A sleepy Kairi is a cranky Kairi. "We need to get ready for the fair?" Ino asked.
Tenten yawned, sitting up slowly from the bed. Hinata rubbed her eye, picking up her head from the desk. Ino sighed at the state of her friends. "We don't have much time to get ready!!" Ino shouted, causing Kairi to cover her ears.
"Man you can scream…" Kairi muttered as she stood up from the couch.
Tenten got up from her bed, and Hinata stood up from the chair. Ino looked at them happily, and marched into Hinata's bedroom.
—
Dressing up in a simple long-sleeved white shirt, with a black coat over her, Tenten walked along Neji. She looked over Neji's outfit. Simple black sweater, baggy black jeans.
'Isn't he cold?' Tenten scrunching her brow. "Nice outfit, Neji," Tenten said with a grin.
Neji looked at Tenten and raised a brow. "Could say the same to you."
"I didn't really think of dressing anyway special. I mean, it's only a festival, right?" Tenten asked.
Neji nodded. Tenten rolled her eyes. This was the basic conversation that they had. First he would answer the questions that she asks, and then after the first few questions, he would ignore her. 'Wonder why everyone thinks that we like each other,' Tenten thought as she sighed.
As they arrived at the fair, it was already getting dark. The lights from the fair light up most of the place, and the children's screams of joy made it comfortable.
"Hey guys! You actually came!"
