Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed. I think I say that every chapter, and I mean it every time.
I think my favorite ride at Disneyland is Indiana Jones too. I also like Star Tours. You know, it's a lot more fun going to Disneyland with my friends than with my family. I mean, I love my family and all, but my friends are a lot more fun and we share a lot more common interests. There are dolls on Splash Mountain? I wouldn't know, I don't like the super fast rides, or the super slow ones. I prefer the ones in the middle, so I've never been on it. Anyways, if you don't like Splash Mountain because of the dolls, I suggest you avoid, It's a Small World. That ride bored me to death. It didn't help that the people in the boat behind us were singing along to the song. It also didn't help that my friends started singing it after they knew how much the song annoyed me. Don't I have such great friends.
Anyways, I'll stop talking (I mean writing) and let you get on with the story now. This was a pretty short chapter. Sorry if it sucks.
I'm Sorry (This is the name of the chapter, not another apology, I don't know if the title fits with the story)

It had been two weeks after the April Fools joke, and two weeks since Neji and Tenten had started dating. They couldn't have been happier even if they had won the lottery. Neji's cold exterior softened ever so slightly and Tenten was always seen smiling, especially when she was with Neji.
Neji and Tenten were on their 5th date at the carnival. Normally Neji would have never set foot in a carnival but he couldn't say no to Tenten (Uzumaki and Uchiha had started calling him whipped). He hated how loud it was and he really really hated clowns, especially ever since the day when Gai and Lee had decided to dress up as clowns for his 17th birthday. He still shuddered at the memory.
"Neji, are you cold? You're shivering."
Neji looked over to Tenten. She looks beautiful today. Well, even more beautiful than normal, I mean. Instead of her usual tank top and capris, she was wearing a light blue kimono with pink and yellow embroidery. It was simple yet beautiful. Kind of like Tenten.
"Hello, earth to Neji."
Neji smiled and said, "No, I'm not cold. Are you?" Before he gave her time to answer, he slung his arm around her shoulders, pulling her a little closer and keeping her warm.
Tenten blushed and said, "Maybe a little."
Neji chuckled and commented teasingly, "You're blushing."
Tenten just blushed more and tried to deny it. "No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm n― eek. Neji stop tickling m―" She started laughing.
Neji smiled. He had learned just of few days ago where Tenten was ticklish (a/n: don't ask me how. Haha…jk) and he loved tickling her when she was least expecting it.
Neji sighed and said, "Oh all right," and he stopped.
Tenten glared at him and said, "You know, one of these days, I'm going to find out where you're ticklish."
"What if I'm not ticklish?"
"Well…then…uhh…oh shut up Neji."
Neji smirked and said, "I win."

"That was so much fun. Wasn't it Neji?" Asked a very enthusiastic Tenten after the carnival closed.
"No."
"Ah, come on, you know you liked it." Tenten teasingly added, "Especially the clowns."
Neji shuddered.
"What do you want to do now?
"I have an idea."

Neji and Tenten had gone back to a place near there training spot. They lied down on a blanket and stared at the stars. (A/n: It's around 10:00 to 11:00 now. I have no idea when carnivals normally close down) Tenten's head was resting on Neji's shoulder and Neji had his arm around her. They lied like that for half an hour, enjoying each other's company.
All of the sudden, Tenten said, "I love you Neji."
Tenten felt Neji's body stiffen. Neji thought, Oh crap, what do I do? Should I tell her I love her even though I don't. Or should I tell her the truth.
He made a quick decision. "Uh, Tenten, we've only been going out for two weeks so far and…I'm really sorry…but…I really don't want to tell you I love you until I do. Right now…for me…I can only say that I really like you." Neji saw Tenten's eyes sadden and quickly said, "but I think I'm close to loving you…I just…need more time."
Tenten knew Neji felt guilty about saying he didn't love her, and even though it saddened her, at least she knew that he wouldn't lie to her and that he was close to love. And besides, that's the answer that she had been expecting when she told him how she felt. She knew that Neji wasn't good with letting people in. Heck, it was hard for him just to admit he didn't hate someone. So why was she disappointed
"That's okay Neji. I wasn't expecting a reply. I just wanted to let you know how I felt about you. That's all. So don't worry about it."
"Okay." Even though Neji said okay, he still felt guilty about it. He could only hope he would be able to make it up to her.
