Yaaaaay! I finally updated. Sorry it took so long but I'm been sooooo busy, not to mention, this chapter was kind of hard for me to write. It just didn't…flow very well…in my opinion anyways. And once again, thanks sooo much for the reviews!
First Date?
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Neji was shocked when he heard Tenten say okay. If he had been anyone else, he probably would have fainted, but since he was Hyuuga Neji, and since he had had years of experience keeping up his cool exterior, he managed to keep the shock from his face. He had been expecting, from Tenten, anything from fear (saying no to the Hyuuga Neji has to be scary), to an outburst (since she might figure it was an April Fools joke, which she did), but not an actually answer, especially not the answer, "okay!"
Does Tenten actually like me? Oh crap, what do I do? He could always tell her that he had just been kidding, but what if she did like him? He would break her heart. Besides, a part of him really, really, really, really wanted to say okay. So he said, "Okay."
He looked at Tenten for her reaction. A look of surprise washed over her, but it disappeared when a smile covered her face. She looks so beautiful when she's smiling. Oh God! Where did that come from?
"Lee, what a joyous occasion. Our very Tenten and Neji are to go out on a date," exclaimed a very excited Gai.
"Yes Gai-sensei." Lee looked at Neji and Tenten with tears in his eyes and said, "We are so happy for you. I'm glad that you finally realized your love for Tenten, Neji."
"We must celebrate. Lee, Neji, Tenten, today training will be canceled. The two of you, go out and celebrate your love! Come Lee, let's leave the two lovebirds alone." With that, Lee and Gai left.
Both of the two "lovebirds," rolled their eyes.
"So…" said Neji, "umm…what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Anything is fine." Tenten was suddenly feeling nervous and uncomfortable.
"We could…go see a movie."
"Sure, you know any good movies coming out."
"No." Actually, Neji didn't know any movies coming out, but he figured there wouldn't be any need to make conversation at the movie theater, which would mean there would be no awkward silence between the two of them.
"That's fine, we can just pick a movie when we get there."
With that said the two walked to the Konoha Theater. They were already halfway there and they had not said a word to each other besides an attempt to start a conversation by Tenten, that started out, "It sure is hot today."
All Neji had replied was a, "Yeah." Neji was definitely not the talkative type. After a couple more tries at conversation, Tenten gave up and walked in silence.
Maybe I should ask Neji why he asked me out. She still couldn't figure out why he asked her out today of all days. I should. Tenten had opened her mouth to ask him just when he said, "There's the theater. Is there any movie you want to see?"
(a/n, I haven't seen any movies lately so I'm going to use some old ones)
"Umm…" Neji probably likes action movies. "How about Spiderman?"
"Okay." Neji waited in line and heard the person in front of him buy tickets for Spiderman. When it was his turn, he said, "I'd like two tickets for Spiderman."
"Sorry sir, the man over there just bought the last few tickets. In fact there's only one show left."
Without even asking what movie it was, Neji bought two tickets.
"Umm…Neji, what show are we seeing."
"I don't know." Neji looked down at the tickets and saw the words, Special Reshowing of Cinderella. "Hey Tenten, what's Cinderella?"
Tenten's eyes widened. "That's what we're seeing!"
Neji nodded. "Yeah, what's it about?"
Tenten rolled her eyes. Neji may be a genius, but he sure can be dumb sometimes. "It's a cartoon about a girl and her evil stepsisters and stepmother. It's probably in the childern/romance genre."
"Oh," Neji said as they went to their seats.

It was halfway through the movie and Hyuuga Neji was bored to death. Oh god, are the mice singing again? He looked over to Tenten, about to ask her if she wanted to leave, when he saw she was asleep. She was snoring softly and even had her mouth slightly hanging open. Neji smiled. Tenten wasn't like any other female he knew. She wasn't as silly, as girly, or as dumb as all the other girls he knew. That was one of the things he liked about her. He stared at her for a while. Tenten's really cute when she's sleeping. Neji frowned. What am I thinking? Tenten's my teammate, my friend. I shouldn't be thinking about how cute she is…or how beautiful and peaceful she looks while she's sleeping…or how―NO!
Neji snapped himself out of his thoughts and forced himself to look at the screen in front of him. When the movie was over, the lights came back on and Tenten woke up. Groggily, she said, "Whoops, guess I kind of fell asleep. Well, Neji how did you like the movie? It was your first time seeing it, right?"
"It was boring, it didn't make sense. Tenten, how do mice sing?"
Tenten smiled. "It's a cartoon, so basically anything's possible."
"Oh."
"We should probably get going now."
"Yeah." With that, the two left. "Hey Tenten?"
"Hmm."
"Uh, do you want me to walk you home?"
"Um," oh my god, is Neji blushing! "Sure." They walked to Tenten's house in complete silence. She was wondering if now was a good time to bring up her question. They reached the house and Tenten was turning around to say by when Naji said something.
"Hey Tenten, do you want to go on another date tomorrow, something not so…boring." Oh shit, did I just asked her out on another date! What the hell am I doing? Do I actually like her!
Tenten knew that would have been the perfect time to bring up her question, but instead the words, "Okay!" came out of her mouth. Oh God Tenten, you are so dumb. You had the perfect chance to ask him, but you blow it. But…maybe Neji does like me…I mean…why else would he ask me out on a second date. Well, not really. I mean…was today really considered a date…since I fell asleep?
"Okay"
"…"
"…"
Uncomfortable silence…
…and more uncomfortable silence.
"Well," said Tenten, deciding to break the silence, "I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, bye." With that he jumped away ninja style, and Tenten opened her front door and went inside, looking forward to tomorrow. Little did she know, Neji was looking forward to it just as much as she was.

It may take me a while to get up the next chapter since I'm not going to be home over the weekend. (I'm going to DISNEYLAND! The happiest place on earth) Oh, and F.Y.I., I might change my pen name…not sure…just maybe.
You know after reading this chapter over, I realized I used a lot of dot, dot, dots (…). Okay, I'll stop wasting your time.
OH! I have a question. Is there any way to get rid of all the emails about, review alert. Just wondering. Okay, now I'll really stop wasting your time. Bye.
