Artheph's Note: This was like the first section I ever wrote for this story. I thought of it while shopping at Vons. hahaha...yes it's a little strange, but I wanted to make it different from all the OTHER Naruto/Hinata stories. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Naruto, you have to help me," pleaded Sasuke.
"I don't see why I should. Unless it's...SOMETHING DIRE AND WILL PROCEED TO DESTROY THE WORLD IF NOT STOPPED!!" yelled out Naruto.
"Shut up, baka. But it IS important."
"Why don't you tell me what it is."
"Umm...well...I ...uhh..."
"C'mon Sasuke, spit it out."
"Well, you see...I ...really...um...care about..."
"About..."
"Sakura."
"You care about Sakura?"
"Yes."
"And?"
"What?"
"Man, you sound like you're saying you care about your dog! What do you really mean?"
"I....I...love her," Sasuke inaudibly whispered.
"What'd you say?"
"I ...love her," he hissed.
"You'll hafta speak now."
"DAMMIT NARUTO!! I LOVE HER OK?"
Hinata's eyes widened at the sudden outburst. Naruto started laughing.
"Awwww...Sasuke has FEELINGS!"
"Shut up. Are you gonna help me now?"
"Oh, of course we will, Sasuke!" Hinata spoke for the first time.
"So.."
"So?"
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Hm..."
"C'mon boys! You obviously have to do something really romantic for Sakura to show your feelings!" said Hinata, rolling her pupil-less eyes...somehow.
"Then what did Naruto do for you?"
"Ooo, I can answer this!" exclaimed Naruto. "See, this one night, I knocked on Hinata's door. The second she opened the door, she pulled me in, and showered me with a million kisses."
"Naruto," growled Hinata, warningly. "Tell the truth."
"Oh fine. So, Hinata had our romantic date all planned out. It was gonna be perfect. I was gonna ask her to marry me that very night. We went to that fancy seafood restaurant in downtown Konoha. While we were waiting for our food, I kinda thrust my fist into the air and yelled, "This is gonna be the best night ever!" Hinata gave me her really pretty smile."
"Aww..Naruto.."
"Heh..But then I hit the tray our waiter was holding, and all the food spilled onto Hinata's dress. Oh boy, was she MAD. She started yelling and hitting me, while profusely apologizing to the waiter. I felt incredibly bad, so I suggested to switch clothes, so she could wear my clean pants and shirt, while I'd wear her dress."
"WHAT?" Images of Naruto in a spaghetti-strapped dress ran unbidden through Sasuke's mind. He twitched.
"Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time ok? So we switched clothing. And since me wearing a dress wouldn't look that good in a nice, fancy place, I decided that we should go to the karaoke!"
Sasuke raised his eyebrows. "Karaoke?"
"Once again, it sounded like a good idea at the time ok? So, once we got in, I put Hinata on a stool, in the middle of the stage. Everyone got all quiet, and the spotlight was on us. I got down on my left knee, and sang "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing". They must have imported it from America or something."
"You actually SANG?"
"Hey, Naruto's actually pretty good at it."
"Oh yeah? Sing some lyrics then."
"Alrightey then. I'll just show you what I did that night." Naruto got down on his left knee, looked up at Hinata, and started to sing,
"I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing..
Hinata, I never wanna miss a thing ever again. I wanna be with you for every moment of my life. Will you...marry me?"
"Naruto...yes!" answered Hinata, who was caught up in the moment with Naruto. And the pair passionately kissed.
Sasuke's mind was swirling. Naruto was...romantic? When did this happen? How come he, Sasuke, could not show his feelings like Naruto? So much for that hyperactive, immature baka Sasuke constantly insulted when they were 12. Did Sasuke dare admit that Naruto might be even MORE mature than he? Nah..impossible. But then, why did he come here for help? He chanced a glance at the couple, hoping they were done with their public display of affection. They weren't. Sasuke coughed.
"Oh...sorry, Sasuke. Anyway, we need to come up with a plan for you!"
"I've got the perfect one," Hinata smiled, mischievously.

"Hey Sakura, you free for dinner tonight?" Sasuke asked offhandedly, though his heart was speeding like a ...mother of a ...something...
"Umm...sure," Sakura replied, a little surprised. When was the last time he took her out for dinner? Oh right, on their wedding night and THAT had been rather awkward.
"Meet me at the new seafood restaurant at seven?"
"That new FANCY one?"
"Yes."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"YES. I'll see you there." Sasuke took off, leaving Sakura dumbfounded.
"Woww..."Sakura mumbled to herself. "GASP! I better get ready!"

Artheph's Note: My eyes widen. This chapter is even shorter than the last one! GASP! Sorry guys!! But the next one is the LAST ONE! OH joy! This has taken me like three weeks to write. I'm getting....sore from it. No, actually, I kept having this guilty feeling that I hadn't finished this story, as I started writing other ones. But the guilty feeling IS NO MORE!
