I Wanna Be A Supermodel
Summary: Tenten is an ordinary girl who was thrown into the crazy world of showbiz. Can she survive? Pairings are: NaruHina SasuSaku InoShikaTema and eventual NejiTen. Read & Review pls!
CHIBIKAKASHI: Wow, some people actually had the time to review!
SARAFU-CHAN: Really! Let me see! Let me see!
viko-chan: Thanks for the review! I'm so happy you added this to your favorite stories! Virtual ice cream for ya!
FireDragonBL: Tenten was screaming randomly because of the craziness of Yours Truly. She's not really that OOC in this story but she NEVER really had any character development in Naruto. Thanks for reviewing though! (throws virtual ice cream)
i-dream-of-blue-eyes: Reaaaally! (gives two ice creams, one chocolate and one of mango flavor) You're right. I am sure all girls (such as myself) must at least have dreamed of being a famous actress or something.
Harukakanata: I like NejiTen too! Actually it's my favorite! Here's a super duper large ice cream for ya for liking the pairing!
moonlightpath: Haha! I totally agree with you! She should be pretty and strong cause she's paired with Neji! (gives another virtual ice cream)
ayuka-chan: A Chinese movie huh? (scratches head) Sorry, I don't know anything about that. Here's an ice cream for you though!
Oodles: You have the very same thought as ayuka-chan! I really don't read Chinese 'cause I'm a Filipino so… Anyway, another ice cream for you!
Yokai Cesia and Chi: Ooh! Your pen name is cool! nn Thanks for reviewing. I feel so LOVED! Sakura had always been the center of attention but it won't hurt if I give Tenten some spotlight right? (hands a cheese ice cream)
CHIBIKAKASHI: I'm just curious…What's up between you and ice cream anyway?
SARAFU-CHAN: That's none of your business, CHIBIKAKASHI! You're just my muse!
CHIBIKAKASHI: You wound my heart…
SARAFU-CHAN: …
CHIBIKAKASHI: Come on, don't tell me you didn't fall for that!
SARAFU-CHAN: Sorry, you're just not that good of an actor. Just do the disclaimer thing and I'll get you strawberry ice cream! How's that?
CHIBIKAKASHI: (thinks for a moment) What about if you just buy me the next volume of Icha Icha Paradise?
SARAFU-CHAN: Eww, you sound like a perv… Ah, scratch that. You ARE a pervert. Oh well. Okay, deal.
CHIBIKAKASHI: WEEEEE! (pauses) Ahem. Sarafu-chan does not own Naruto. She does, however, own a lot of sugar cones to go with her ice cream.

Haruno Sakura is beauty and brains personified. She graduated her highschool class with honors and while she was not the prettiest girl in her class when she was little, she is now a famous commercial model getting geared up to be the next pop idol which should be favorable in her part. After all, it may boost her icon status and help her gain more fans.
But of course, try as hard as Sakura can, there is still one person whom she cannot gain the attention of. Two words. Uchiha Sasuke.
This may predictable because Sasuke is this generation's answer to the perfect man after all. Untouchable and unreachable, a lot of girls find themselves drooling just by the mere presence of this Adonis-like creature. And simply put, Sakura is a GIRL. Therefore, it is only natural that she falls for Uchiha Sasuke. Actually, her story goes back a long long long long very long time ago back when she was still being teased for her…Let's not talk about that, shall we? It may ruin her reputation. So anyway, she almost fell in a river when she was picking some flowers but luckily, someone saved her. Guess who?
"Um, Haruno-san?"
"Huh?" Stupid media person! You interrupted my thoughts about Sasuke! GAAARGH! Sakura immediately forgot that she was still in some kind of a room in the airport, taking a break from shooting her new Girl magazine cover just to be interviewed by The Konoha Stars newspaper.
"Question number 7: What's the one thing you can't live without?" Asked the reporter, eyeing her curiously and with a pen ready in his hand to instantly write something that might be what other reporters call a SCOOP!
Sasuke of course! "I think my cellphone. I just bought this new model last week." Sakura answered politely, awing the reporter with her beauty as she smiled graciously.
"Question number 8: What do you think about the filming of the new episode of "My Love Forever?"
My love Fore- Wait! That's Sasuke's drama show! Why the hell is this guy asking me this? "Pardon?" Sakura asked, looking confused.
The reporter scratched his head and then laughed for a moment. "Oh yeah, I forgot." He began skimming his notes. "I'm sorry, Haruno-san. That was one of the questions I'm supposed to ask Miss Yamanaka."
"Yamanaka? As in Yamanaka Ino?" Repeated Sakura, incredulously. Yamanaka Ino is a beautiful blonde who befriended her way back in kindergarten. Remember what I told you about Sakura not being the prettiest girl in her class when she was little? Well, Ino is. Sadly, their friendship had turned into bitter rivalry after Sakura proudly declared her love for the last member of the famous Uchiha family. After that, the last she heard from Ino was that she's gone to the United States to study fashion designing.
Then by instinct, she glanced at the glass window and saw two of the most prominent figures in her life.
Uchiha Sasuke and Yamanaka Ino.
"Sasuke-kun, I came back for you!" Cried Ino, running up to Sasuke and hugging him tightly.
"What the-?" Sakura said as she leaned on the glass window. Dammit! Ino-pig is back! How could this be? I thought she already migrated to the States!
The reporter studied Sakura's expression and smiled. He quickly wrote something in it.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
"So…Ino's back?"
Akimichi Chouji just nodded, unable to speak for he was eating a rather unhealthy amount of junk food. The brilliant marketing strategist, Nara Shikamaru, frowned. Ino was a dear friend of his but he knew very well the real reason of her sudden arrival.
FLASHBACK:
A sixteen year old Shikamaru patiently waited for Ino's car with a bouquet of red roses behind his back.
"Shika-kun!"
"Ino!"
Ino excitedly ran towards Shikamaru's direction and grinned. "Guess what? I finally got admitted to New York University! Isn't it exciting?" She jumped up and down, unaware of Shikamaru's dimming face.
"After that, Sasuke will finally notice me!" Ino continued, not knowing that every sentence she says containing the word "Sasuke" in it is just stabbing a dagger in Shikamaru's heart. "I'll be a famous fashion designer THEN become an actress! What do you think, Shika-kun?"
"That's…" Shikamaru fought back the urge to say 'troublesome.' "…Wonderful."
"AHA! I knew it! And since you're a genius and you agree with me, that means that going there is a WONDERFUL idea!" Ino squealed in delight. She turned to go but then stopped.
"Shika-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Don't worry. I won't forget you." She gave a sunny smile. "I'll e-mail you every so often. Bye!"
Shikamaru just rolled his eyes at the sudden thought of this memory. He then remembered how he, a heartbroken and very devastated young lad back then, had thrown the bouquet of flowers in anger. "Feh, women. They're all so troublesome."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
Tenten carried the heavy basket and sighed. Stopping to take a rest, she took a handkerchief and wiped her forehead.
"Whew, what a hassle." Murmured Tenten. She stopped to observe the people around her. She liked doing that, trying to figure out their life stories, their problems and their personalities. She got up and brushed herself but someone caught her eye.
A man was suspiciously walking along and then he quickly snatched something red in a lady's handbag. The lady, unaware of the thief, just continued buying some fruits in the nearby stall.
"Hey you!" Cried Tenten, her sense of justice overcoming her.
The robber quickly realized that someone caught him on the act and tried to make a run for it but Tenten suddenly caught up with him. She pulled the robber and wrestled the cellphone away from his grasp. The robber shook her off but a young man helped her and punched the robber squarely on the face. A policeman came and saw the commotion and apprehended the robber.
"Well what do you know," The policeman whistled, recognition finally lighting up his face. "If it isn't Dosu, the Thief of Downtown. It's jail time for you!"
The lady whose cellphone had gotten stolen came running, completely winded. Tenten studied the lady's face and quickly concluded that she must be a member of the aristocrat, just judging by her demure actions. She has snow-white skin and eyes, short but equally stylish black hair and luscious red lips. Wait a minute- Isn't that Snow White? Oh well…
"I'm Hyuuga Hinata. Thanks for helping me get my cellphone back." The girl bowed as a sign of courtesy. "How can I ever repay you?"
Tenten scratched the back of her head. "Nah, it's alright. After all, I just happened to be at the right time at the right place when the incident happened. No worries there." Then something struck Tenten's mind. "Wait, Hyuuga? Are you by any chance related to the people running the Hyuuga Corporation?"
"Actually, she's one of the executives there…"
Tenten turned around to face the young man who helped her just a while ago. He's handsome, Tenten thought, but the scowl he's wearing on his face made him seem strict and kinda old.
"Um, N-Neji-niisan…" Hinata said slowly.
"Lady Hyuuga, you should've been more careful." Neji said, harshness echoing in his every word.
"Anou, it isn't her fault." Tenten defended, suddenly seeing Neji's scowl deepen. "This Dosu guy is one sneaky robber. I mean, even the policeman claimed that he's wanted here in downtown Konoha."
"I'm not asking for your opinion, girl!" Neji snapped.
Tenten's veins popped out. He might've helped her but he clearly needs to be thought some manners. 'Listen here, buddy. You're pretty cocky for a guy who's supposed to be guarding one of the executives of the Hyuuga Corporation.
Hinata tugged Tenten's arms and meekly said, "He's, he's not my bodyguard. Actually, he's my c-cousin."
"Your cousin?" Tenten facefaulted. Well, the same blank and white eyes should be a giveaway but she didn't notice it until awhile ago. So if she's Hinata's cousin, that means he must be a Hyuuga too!
"Give her a break, Neji. After all, you didn't notice the robber until this brave young miss ran to catch him." One man said, stepping out of a car and making a rather flamboyant entrance as sounds of POOF can be heard. Whether it's just some random music that the authoress had thrown in to make this man seem cool, the world may never know. Anyway… His silvery-white hair glistened brightly in the sunlight. For some reason, he was wearing a mask on his face and is holding a book on his right hand.
"Kakashi," Neji started. "Aren't you supposed to be accompanying Sasuke to the airport? You are his manager after all."
"Let the little guy do his thing. I was assigned to look for someone who can play a part in Sakura's new shampoo commercial. Say, Neji you sure you don't want to do it? After all, with your shiny and long black hair you can be the next Barbie Xu!"
Neji turned away, frustration written all over his face. Tenten just smirked. So, the guy can get embarrassed too. Interesting
Kakashi saw Tenten. "What's your name?"
"Um…Tenten."
"If you let down your hair, you can be part of Sakura's new commercial. That is, if you care to abandon those pretty buns." Said Kakashi as Tenten's hands quickly went to her hair buns. Kakashi then eyed her. "Actually, you can be more than an extra."
Tenten's heart began beating faster. "More than an extra?"
Kakashi grinned, "I can make you a superstah!" He then faced Neji and Hinata. "How about that?"
Hinata smiled timidly while Neji just frowned.

Tenten can't wait to tell her bestfriend Lee the good news.
The famous Hyuuga Corporation Talent Manager Director, Hatake Kakashi, chose her to be part of Sakura's new commercial. Then after that, they're gonna make her a model of Yamanaka Ino's new clothing line called Cosmos. What's more, if the people start liking her, her career as a budding actress may blossom and finally, she'll be just a few steps away from her dream.
"Tenten! Good news!" Cried Lee, jumping up in the air.
"I have good news for you too!" Tenten exclaimed, her eyes shining brightly.
"I'm gonna be part of Sakura's next commercial" They both said at the same time. Both looked at each other after, their expressions a marriage of glee and surprise.

SARAFU-CHAN: Yippee! The second chappie is already finished! I'm so happy!
CHIBIKAKASHI: (reading the new volume of Icha Icha Paradise) Good for you.
SARAFU-CHAN: Gasp! How could you do such a thing? Reading such a book in front of our readers! The shame! (snatches Icha Icha Paradise) There! You can't read this in public, okay?
CHIBIKAKASHI: (on the verge of tears) But…
SARAFU-CHAN: No buts! (faces readers) Please read and review!

P-R-E-V-I-E-W ON THE NEXT CHAPTER:
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" The boy stood up on the table, waving a bowl of ramen. "I'm gonna be the next Hokage action star!" Lee then rose up, a clenched fist in the air. "And I am Rock Lee! I shall strive to become like my idol, Maito Gai, someday!"
The said action star clapped, tears running down his face. "What energy! I admire you both for bursting with youth!"
CUT!
"What about you, Shika-kun?" Ino asked slyly. "Do you have a special girl on your mind?"
"Actually…"
"Shikamaru!" A girl with yellow-orange hair came bursting in, holding a lunchbox. "Do you want to eat with me again? I cooked mackerel and kelp for you!"
CUT!
Haruno Sakura, jealous of the new fashion designer Yamanaka Ino? Details on page 8!
Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. She read the newspaper again and nearly fainted when she saw the hugging scene of Sasuke and Ino on page 8. GAAAAGH! It was that reporter!
