AN: Hey, this is chapter three, hope you like it.

RedLotusNin: Sorry, but this was pretyped and there's still lots more to go before we actually started uploading it. So, if you stay tuned, in a while you'll probably tell, but not any time soon cause, as you know, it was typed a while ago. So, I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Tangerine-fever: Yeah, it was really funny when we started, and more random too...

Thanks reviewers

Chapter 3: The authors start agreeing more (well, almost, anyway)

They frowned. Naruto decided to break the silence, "Yeah, why ARE we here?" A collective shrug.
"Didn't Tenten ask us all here?" Lee asked, "she was making Sakura-chan a pie for her birthday... come to think of it, whe--" Lee broke off when he noticed the sad, regretful look on Tenten's face.

"Hey, Sakura, isn't your party meant to start soon?" Naruto looked at his –alright, so he might not have one, just use your imagination- -USE IT- watch as a pink/dark red blur shot past him followed, not so fast, by a light yellow/dark purple one. Neji cleaned off his tears like nothing had happened and Tenten took off her apron and put everything away in her outdoor kitchen. Oh well, it couldn't be helped, the event was over. ((switch))

"SO."

"....Soo." Naruto sat down kind of boredly. Neji cleared his throat and glared at everyone to make sure they KNEW never to bring this up ever again did they understand that and I'm sure they all did (not that it'll stop them muttering and giggling about it for months to come... but, you know. At least not when he's around.) Tenten sat town tentatively next to Gai-sensei. Gai-sensei sat and looked at the sky ponderously. Shikamaru mumbled something at his favorite hobby being taken up by someone else, got up, dusted off his behind and walked - well, strolled very slowly - off. That left Lee, and Kiba - busy scratching himself in that mad-leg way dogs do - to look for something to talk about in the very awkward silence.

Naruto was first to crack.

It took him about 30 seconds.

He eyeballed Kiba curiously as he scratched his hair with his foot. It looked fun. He tried it. He pulled a muscle and -
"AEAOUUWWW!!" ....to silence.

Tenten cleared her throat, unamused. So, she thought, looking at everyone, they all know. My secret crush. Is Sakura. Ehem. She stood up, gave them the same let's-never-speak-of-this-again-look to everyone, and left. Walked off. Then, a few steps away, jogged. Then ran.

MISS her love's PARTY!! What was sheTHINKING!! No, no cake was worth this... and meanwhile, she thought, as she jogged back - the rest still kind of aimlessly thoughtlessly staring at each other - and picked up a nice sharp knife, she can't let Ino get away with being the only one to... ((switch))

Offer her one to cut the cake. Too bad it was kiss the nearest boy if it came out dirty, oh well. She'd tried. Shit, she'd even taken out her spork to impress her. Anyway, she was almost at her house, and she would catch the party if she sprinted as fast as possible, so she did.

She skidded to a stop in front of the TV just as it started. The squeaky second starting rang through the room as a girl with auburn locks and emerald eyes pranced around the screen, much more energetically than the action figures of her propped up on every flat surface in the room. On the screen, the girl was walking into a room, blindfolded by her best-friend, a girl with purple hair and eyes. Suddenly the room erupted with shouts of 'happy birthday' as the blindfold was taken off.

Tenten didn't miss a second of her birthday after all. ((switch))

She sat down, captured (ahaha) by the drama unfolding on her screen. Yeah, Drama. She cuddled a plush toy of her most favoritest person of all as the emerald-eyed, brown-haired girl squealed something to the tune of "HOoee!" on-screen. But it wasn't long before her not-so-favorite-girl, Ino, was at the door muttering something about a party and boys and some strange new girl who had just become Chuunin from Leaf that they somehow all hadn't met (!!). Tenten muttered a non-commital reply to the tune of "I wouldn't miss Sakura-san's party for the WORLD!" and slammed the door in Ino's face as fast as she could, rushing back to the screen and, in the ad break, re-playing the part she'd just missed which was about 10 seconds long. While the Ads were on. She even drooled over the eyecatch, that's how in love she was with Sakura. She replaced her plush beside the photo of her REAL-LIFE beloved (didn't he look so dreamy... but no time for that! CCS is back on!!).

Meanwhile though... in the field outside Konoha.. it was getting dark.... and wasn't (THIS) Sakura's party on soon? Wasn't that what Naruto had said? He himself was kind of wondering about this now, as twilight set in. He was now using his other leg and could almost reach his blonde locks with his un-often-maintained-to-put-nicely toenails. Kiba looked at him like one would look at... well, a kid trying to scratch his head with his foot. For the last two hours. Everyone else had left. Sakura's party was coming. He got up. He prodded Naruto.

"Hey, Naruto." He said.

"HUWHA?" yelled he, falling out of his semi-yogaesque pose in a voluminous thud.

"Um... this is like lamer than Neji crying... can we go now?"

Naruto sat up slowly. He, like the many before him, got up, dusted himself off, and gave that kind of a look that meant nobody was to mention this strange occurrence ever again.

"....um..."

"I mean, Sakura's-"

"SAAaaakura-chaanitotallyforgotwhatamigonnagetherJiraiyaspentallmymoney-!!" Naruto said, and it sounded as confusing as it read, as he raced back into Konoha to dig up something present-worthy to his crush.

Kiba shook his head. Psh, crushes.

....HIS was BEYOND dorky presents.

AN: How'd ya like it? It's not a cliffy this time. Review if ya wanna. Bye!
