Tenten ran up the stairs and watched as Neji faded into the night. She opened the window and felt the cool, refreshing breeze run over her. It was a warm night for March. She went to over to her dresser and opened the drawer and pulled out her favorite pajamas. They were nothing fancy, just a light pink tank top with matching shorts. She pulled the ribbons from her hair that were holding her buns up and brunette hair tumbled down just a little past her shoulders. She yawned and crawled into her bed. Just before she drifted off, she took one last look out the window.

A bang on the street awoke Tenten with a start. It was so loud and she quickly realized that she had left the window open last night. She looked out and saw that a dog running by had knocked over a trash can.

"Oh…so that's all it was." and she flopped back down on the bed looking up towards the ceiling where a picture of her and her teammates was pinned up. She smiled and started to doze off again. She awoke again quickly and read the time on her clock that laid on her dresser. It was 10:45, the team had to meet at 11:00. They were given extra time to rest because of how late they got back last night. She was thankful for that.

"Training today!" she remembered and rushed into the bathroom to take a quick shower, brush her hair and teeth and do anything else she needed to do. She rushed downstairs where her mother had laid out a plate of toast with her favorite jam and a note.

'Tenten,

We'll be back around nightfall tomorrow. Your father and I have gone to visit some old friends and they offered to let us stay the night. I expect you to act like a serious kunoichi and don't do anything too outrageous while we're gone.

We Love you,

Mom and Dad xoxo'

Tenten crumpled the note and threw it in the nearby wastebasket.

"You think they'd be able to trust me now." she said to herself as she grabbed some toast, her lunch and headed out the door.

Tenten rushed down the streets on Konoha, right past the ramen stand where Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were busy eating their breakfast. She waved to them as she ran past and finally reached a grassy hill, where the warm sun was hitting directly.

"Our lovely young flower is here at last." Gai-Sensei said as he smiled when he saw Tenten come up from over the hill. Lee waved 'hello' and Neji didn't even glance her way.

"Neji, Tenten, I have to train Lee on the special move we've been working on again today. Would you two mind training together again?" Gai-Sensei asked.

"Fine with me." Tenten happily said. Neji crossed his arms.

"Sure." he said. With that Gai and Lee walked off into the woods that the hill lead into. "Well, we better get to it." Neji said when they had disappeared from view.

Tenten reached into her back pouch and whipped out her favorite kunai and some shuriken and threw them Neji's way. Of course Neji dodged them all and in about an hour Tenten's weapons were scattered all around them. Gai-Sensei and Lee came out of the forest and told them to break for lunch.

Tenten took out her lunch that her Mom made her. She loved her Mom's cooking and there was more than enough to share so she looked around for Neji. She saw him sitting, well more like sulking, on a log. She walked over towards him and he didn't look up.

"Ummm hi Neji. How's it going?" she asked timidly. Neji still didn't look up.

"Fine." he said emotionlessly. She sat down next to him.

"My mom made a big lunch today, I was wondering if you wanted some, since you don't look like you have anything to eat."

"Thanks." he said taking a rice ball from the box Tenten held out for him. Gai and Lee came over. Tenten offered some her lunch to everybody and then they had a bit of relaxation time before they started training again.

"So Tenten, what do you have planned for tonight?" Lee asked munching on a rice ball.

"Nothing actually. My parents are out of town, why?"

"I was just wondering if the two of you were busy, maybe we could hang out tonight. It is Friday and we don't have training this weekend." Lee said.

"I'm game. You guys can come over my house." Tenten replied. They were all waiting on Neji's answer now.

"I've got nothing better to do, so I might as well come." Neji said, arms still crossed. Tenten smiled. Then they trained again until the blue sky melted into a deep orange.
