"We're currently expanding the stadium for the chuunin exam to be held here in Suna. This year, five teams from us, seven from Konoha, two from KIri, two from Kumo and one from Iwa. Each team consists of—You're not taking down notes! Are you even listening, lazy-ass?"

"No."

"Look, I'm trying to take advantage of the idle time you have here, before you'll head back home with your team tomorrow."

"Can we just postpone this discussion?"

"No! You're here! This will save us the hassle of you and me going to and from Suna and Konoha."

"I didn't come here for this."

"Of course you didn't. You're supposed to be headed to the next town but accidentally came here to get your lazy-ass saved again then, get free lodging and medical assistance."

"Alright! Thank you! And I mean it! But that's not what I want us to talk about!"

"What? Do you wanna talk about the weather? We only have one here in Suna, sunny. Very Sunny. Always. Except at night wh—"

"Temari! You know what I'm talking about."

"I don't. What do you take me for, a fortune teller? Tell me, genius!"

"Don't act dumb, woman."

"I'm not! That's difficult for me to do. But for a genius, you seem to be very talented with that."

"Do you really want me to say it?"

"Yeah. I've been asking you to."

"The kiss! The French kiss! That make-out session! That—"

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Damn it Shikamaru! That wouldn't even count as a kiss! It was just a peck! I still owe you some knuckles for what you did earlier!"

"I wasn't talkin' about that."

"Then what?"

"Four days ago. The Teahouse. In the middle of the road."

"And? What happened there?"

"You've got to be kidding me."

"No, so quit with the guessing game already!"

"Y-you're serious..."

"Ugh! You're so annoying! I should've left you to die out there! I'm leaving, crybaby!"

"OH SHIT. Don't tell me that was just a dream! Oh Shit!"
