Naruto Primer: Future Tenten
I Object
Back when Tenten was younger, she was shallow and went after guys based solely on looks. Then, at around the age of eighteen, she deepened and grew to love men based on their personality. She suddenly felt herself attracted to Rock Lee. He hadn't gotten any better looking in the past five years, but she came to understand that it doesn't matter what a person looked like.
But she decided to explore her emotions more and try to ignore it. She came to like him even more after he acquired his jounin vest when they were both twenty, even though Tenten remained at the chuunin state.
Tenten found herself unable to contain herself anymore. She wanted to tell Lee how she felt and apologize for the time that she was mean to him just because of his looks. She figured she had all the time in the world. Who would want to date Lee, after all? Then the unthinkable happened. A woman. Someone nabbed him before she could.
Now, at the age of twenty-four, Tenten stood outside the church doors. Inside, there was a grand wedding being held and it seemed that everyone was invited. She had received an invitation as well, but she couldn't gather herself to go in.
For the past twelve years, she had had the opportunity to get to Lee first but she had never done it. Now, she supposed, she was suffering for it. If only she had realized how wonderful he was sooner then it might have been her in there wearing the beautiful wedding dress as the future Mrs. Rock. Instead, she was only an outsider looking in with no last name at all.
Mustering up all her courage, she opened the doors just a little bit and entered the church area. Up on the alter, Lee was holding the hands of his bride. He actually looked sort of handsome in that tuxedo.
She stayed in the back of the church. She could recognize the backs of her friends' heads, all turned up to watch the happy couple. But was Lee really happy? Tenten looked at his face. He was smiling, but she could tell what he was thinking. After all, she had trained with him for a good portion of her life.
Tenten tried to justify reasons why she didn't need Lee. "That woman will have to wake up to that face every day," she thought. "And have blemishes for children."
She looked back at Lee and decided that SHE wanted to wake up to that face every morning!
"If there is anyone here who knows a just cause why they should not lawfully be joined in marriage, I implore you to speak now, or forever hold your peace." The priest said.
Tenten looked at Lee. Then she gathered up everything she had inside of her and shouted, "I OBJECT!!"
