Chapter 3: Ino, The Matchmaker

It was already 7:30am. God, where ARE they? Ino thought. Just then, the doorbell rang. Guess that answers my question! Ino ran to the door. "Finally!" Ino shouted as she opened the door. There stood her 2 wide-eyed friends, Tenten and Sakura. "Well, don't just stand there!" Ino said politely.

"What's the rush?" Tenten said as Ino hurried Sakura and herself into the house.

"I just had the most brilliant idea!" Ino screeched.

Sakura was still wide-eyed. "Oh my god Ino, you didn't tell me you were filthy rich!" Sakura burst out.

"Oops, I forgot to mention that to you before you came over" Ino said apologetically. "Sorry!".

"That's okay" Sakura said smiling.

"Okay, well come on! Lets go to my room so I can fill you guys in on my BRILLIANT idea!" Ino said happily as she dashed up the stairs. Tenten and Sakura followed. Once they got to Ino's room she shut the door and locked it. "No interruptions!" she said firmly but then smiled. She jumped around in circles clapping her hands. "I'm a genius, I'm a genius!" she screeched.

This must be Ino's 'Happy Dance' that Tenten is always complaining about Sakura thought.

"Okay, so why are you such a genius?" Tenten asked with a confused expression on her face.

"Because! I just had the most BRILLIANT idea!" Ino screeched.

"Ino, CALM DOWN!" Sakura said. "Once your calm, you can tell us what's up. Until then… I dunno".

"Okay, I'm calm" Ino said calming down. "So, I just had a BRILLIANT idea!" Ino said happily.

"WE KNOW!" Sakura and Tenten shouted.

"Okay, Okay, so my idea was that I could treat me, you, Tenten, Hinata, and all of our boyfriends to a little ski vacation as a Christmas present!" Ino said happily to Sakura. "You guys know that Christmas is only a 2 weeks away, so I wanted us to go for a little Christmas vacation on Christmas break, which is only a week away! Think about it! Two whole weeks at a ski resort with all of our friends! It'll be soooo much fun!" Ino shrieked happily.

"Ino, that's a great idea! It sounds like it'll be a TON of fun, but Sakura doesn't have a boyfriend" Tenten said to Ino.

"Well, I know, but I thought that I'd invite Sasuke for her" Ino said beaming.

"Ino, you can't force them to like each other" Tenten said a little disapprovingly.

"I don't have to!" Ino said. "Sasuke likes Sakura, we all know that! And Sakura, you like Sasuke don't you?".

Sakura blushed. "Well, he's alright…" Sakura said still blushing. Both Ino and Tenten looked at her. "Oh, alright! I'll admit it! YES, I DO LIKE SASUKE! I MEAN, WHO DOESN'T! I COULDN'T STAND HIM AT FIRST, WE WERE LIKE WORST ENEMIES! BUT EVER SINCE THIS PROJECT, WE'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND I'VE FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS FOR HIM!" Sakura shrieked.

"I knew it!" Ino shrieked back. "Then it's settled. I'll invite Sasuke casually, so he won't know what hit him! Then when we get there, I'll work my magic!".

"So, you're gonna play cupid between Sakura and Sasuke?" Tenten asked.

"Yup!" Ino said beaming again. "Well, I will if it's okay with Sakura" Ino said looking at Sakura. "Whaddya say?".

"I say HELL YEAH! Let's do it!" Sakura screamed. All 3 girls screamed with excitement.

"I can't wait to tell Hinata!" Tenten said excitedly.

"This plan is foolproof!" Ino said smiling. "Now all we have to do is invite everyone! I think I can get Sasuke's number from Shikamaru. I sure hope so!".

"If not, Neji might have it!" Tenten chirped.

"Or Naruto!" Ino replied. "Hinata gave me his number incase I couldn't get up with her at home".

"This trip is gonna be paradise!" Sakura said. Ino, Tenten, and Sakura burst out laughing at Sakura's comment.

Tcb…
