Chapter Two:
Ino was bored as heck. She was just sitting there in the flower shop, again! Wasn't this her parents flower shop? What was she doing spending all of her time running it? It was a Friday night after all! She wanted to do something with her friends, well not any boys. And that left one option…girls. Or in other words Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten. Now what to do with them? Well doing anything outside was out of the question because of the constant drizzle. "So something with the girls inside…I know a sleepover!" Ino shouted out loud. Her parents came racing down the stairs.
"What's wrong honey?" her mom said, worry evident in her tone and face.
"Nothing, but um I was wondering if I could have a sleep over tonight? Just the girls and I. Please?" Ino said smiling sweetly.
"Um…sure, that is fine. As long as you clean up any messes you make," her mother said. Now that she knew her daughter was ok, she could go back to cleaning up the house.
"Wait…don't we have to go somewhere tonight, honey?" Ino's dad said.
"Oh yeah, Ino, your dad and I are going on a couples retreat for the rest of the weekend," Ino's mom said.
"Does that mean I can't have a sleep over?" Ino asked, pouting slightly. She was sixteen, she could take care of the house by herself, and with two other sixteen year olds, and a seventeen year old, she should have no problems.
"No, it is fine if you have a sleepover," Ino's dad said quickly, and drug his wife up the stairs by the arm.
"Yes!" Ino said jumping up and down, and she went to get the phone to call her friends. Plans of what they were going to do were already starting to form in her head.
"Are you sure we should let her have a sleep over without us here?" Ino's mom asked in a whisper. She didn't want her daughter to hear her. She was positive that Ino was responsible, but with three other girls she didn't know.
"Yes, Ino is old enough for us to trust her with the house. And we have met Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten. They are all responsible girls," Ino's father said.
"I know, but what if something happens?"
"Nothing will happen dear, we just have to put a little bit of faith in her," Ino's father said, and started packing for their trip.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Sakura?"
"Yes, Ino?"
"Yeah! Hey, I was wondering if you are doing anything this weekend. I was thinking about having a sleep over,"
"Really? With who?"
"Hinata, Tenten, you, and myself. You guys could come over tonight and then stay over. We could play games, eat, watch movies, and talk. You know, just have a girls night. So do you think you want to come?"
"Yeah, that sounds like fun Ino. I will bring some movies, popcorn, and pop,"
"Ok, see you later tonight,"
"Ok, bye,"
"Hello?"
"Hi, Hinata?"
"Yes,"
"Hi, this is Ino. I was wondering if you were busy later today, and tomorrow,"
"No, why?"
"I was wondering if you would want to come to a sleep over tonight, with Sakura, Tenten, and I. We could you know, have a girls night."
"Ok, that sounds like fun. Is there anything you would like me to bring?"
"Um…maybe some ice cream, and whatever movies you want to watch,"
"Ok, see you later,"
"Bye,"
"Bye,"
"Hi,"
"Tenten? Hi,"
"Oh Ino, what's up?"
"Are you planning anything this weekend?"
"No, why?"
"Um… do you want to come over for a sleep over with me, Sakura, and Hinata?"
"Sure! That would be great! Would you like me to bring anything?"
"Candy, chips, and whatever movies you want to watch would be great,"
"Ok, can't wait, see you tonight. Bye,"
"Bye,"
Ino had a huge smile on her face. All of them could come! She just hoped that they would have fun. She needed something to take her mind off of her love life at the present moment, and she hadn't seen her friends in ages. They had all been busy with missions, and training. She started whistling as she walked towards the kitchen to make snacks for later that night.
Sakura was looking forward to going to Ino's house later. She would have a chance to see the other girls, and she would hopefully get her thoughts of off the recent missions she had been failing at. She went to her cupboards to see if she had any popcorn or pop. She had both, and plenty of it. Sakura went upstairs to pack her stuff for the sleep over, looking forward to just hanging with the guys, and leaving the world of a kunoichi behind for a day.
Hinata had asked one of her servants to go and buy some ice cream from the store, upon finding that there was none in her freezer. She would have gone out herself, but the day before still played fresh in her mind, and she had been scolded for her muddy clothes. She was looking forward to just hanging with the girls, leaving thoughts of Naruto behind for just a day, as she began to pack.
Tenten sighed as she trudged home from the store. She hadn't had any candy or chips, Neji had told her once that junk food was bad for her. After that, she had quit buying it. Now though, she was looking forward to eating all she wanted. She didn't want to worry about what Neji would think about her, she didn't want to think about training, being left behind by her teammates, and ignored. She just wanted to have fun with her friends, and pig out a little bit. She deserved it.
A/N: Ok, so my chapters are really short, the next one should be longer. Please review! Does anybody have ideas about sleepovers? I haven't been to many. Please review!
