AN: Here it starts making a little bit more sense. And thanks Moi, for the first review! I got as sick of the pie as you did. Still switching, but the bits are heaps longer. Eventually they get around to doing something sane. But I will miss the random ovens in the middle of the forest. Enjoy. R&R but you don't have to. In fact don't, see if we care.

Chapter 2: The two authors are at odds (can you tell?)

...Spork. The one thing she couldn't cook without. Who ever thought of a fork that was also a spoon was a genius. Seriously. Shit, she couldn't live without one. As she ran around tying her apron with the spork sideways held by her teeth, she scooted around worriedly watching the fight out of the side of her eyes. Her outdoor kitchen was getting rather messy; she decided to get the broom and sweep. Oh, how she hoped he would notice her cleanliness. She'd be surprised if he'd ever think of her in that way, but you'd never know. I mean, sure she looked like a panda, especially when anticipating something, but she wasn't the ugliest thing that'd ever been in Konoha. I mean, take a look at her team-mates, one's got an ugly greenish-teal scribble tattooed on his head and no pupils, while the other one's got seaweed eye-brows, circle eyes, and three annoying eyelashes at the bottom. And she wouldn't DARE getting started on his eyebrows.

She looked a bit like a pirate panda, spork in mouth, broom in hand sweeping the leaves out with dangerous precision. She also looked anticipating. ((switch))

So anticipating in fact... that her beloved looked over. And smiled. In between punches aimed at the other two. She gasped and dropped her broom. On Shikamaru. He tripped. He swore. Well, he stopped at the "f" and gave up after that. He landed on his face, splattering the rest of Tenten's ghastly cooking onto his (relatively) brand-new (relatively) shiny Chuunin jacket. He lay there for a few seconds (that slow dumbass..) and then got up slowly, dusting off his jacket. And none too soon... just then the raging fight - Neji bounded past with a dangerous glint in his eyes in that giant ninja gait everyone can just do just like that, Kiba fast on his heels quite literally. That is, biting onto his ankle, growling ferociously (and kind of cutely. Well, come on, puppy-cute!)

So there goes the rest of it, she sighed lamely, bending over (kicking Shikamaru, who'd managed to grab with his shadow thingy the end of Kiba and stop him - and Neji - in mid-bite, resulting in a LOT of noise and yelling and fighting in a big puffy dust cloud kind of thing) to inspect her would-be masterpiece. Shit. ((switch))

Suddenly Jiraiya came around the corner. Yes, a corner. Yes, a secluded part of Konoha. Yes, Jiraiya. Yes, came. Yes, around. Ye-- Right, well, you get the point... She scowled. She had no patience for the Pervert this time, so she rolled up her sleeves -Yes, sleeves- and got out the dustpan/brush! She went on a cleaning frenzy and cleaned up the messy sad remains of the to-be-masterpiece, and ran as fast as she could to the nearest bin. Yes, bin. She dumped the remains in ceremoniously. Yes, ceremoniously. She ran back to the fight only to see ((switch)) Jiraiya had joined in. He was holding Neji and Kiba apart by the collars. And Naruto under a shoe. WTF? How'd he get into this? Damn showoff... leaving Gai-sensei on the ground. He dusted himself off and grinned so fantastically Tenten caught a hint of a tooth sparkle in the afternoon gloom.

"Sorry, I was going to ask for directions... what are these youths flowering (...and so on) doing?"

And before Kiba or Naruto could bark an answer, Neji....

...started crying. He looked down at first. Then dropped a few tears in the hidden-behind-your-fringe shonenistic ((boyish, just incase you didn't know)) type of way. Then just out-and-out bawled. Everyone stared. He looked up at Naruto and Kiba but mainly Kiba, in between sobs glaring with the fiercest hate.

"...I'm..." a noisy, wet sniffle, "NOT A GIRL!!" He yelled hysterically. Jiraiya put the boys down and looked at Neji in worry.

"No, son, believe me, you aren't..."

Anyway, this is about Tenten, and she finished dusting, cleaning, and sporking... eventually she got their attention with a spork-ful of charcoal flicked in the vague direction.

"Anyway just WHY are you all here!"

AN: So that's it for another chapter. Gee I wonder what happens to Tenten, she must have had a mental breakdown after she lost that pie... whatever, from now on it should at least follow some sort of order... as the authors stop arguing over what exactly Tenten should be up to. Well, almost. R&R! (or not...)
