A mere roar of applause and the whole year's past would be forgotten. Surely – to add to that – there should be a wild party, including the latest technology, chips and dip, and not to mention the strongest sake in all of Konohagakure.
To say the least, all of Konoha's goals would have been fulfilled the given crappy year. And all of them have been fulfilled. As well as a few affairs and romances during the summers hottest points.
The worst peak of the year must have been when Lee knocked over Gaara's tan gourd – then as predicted, the man went psycho, rampaging through as many people as he could to find the idiot that had the guts to crush his precious sand gourd. Obviously, Lee ran away as fast as possible, being him then, the fastest thing ever on earth.
Though the best part of the year must have been when Sakura rushed over Sasuke to the hospital – he thinking that Itachi was going to attack him, Naruto or Sakura herself – but the real truth of it was the biggest surprise party of all. It was the prodigy's first birthday away from Orochimaru – and he was one to be paranoid of all things. Everyone was there – to celebrate a butt kicking action punk ass who thought could have ruled Konoha with his hand. But the best part was the expression on his face – deepened and angry to…uncoordinated and confused.
And everyone thought he wasn't one to forget his own birthday. (Pshaw.)
Though, to say such a thing about the past year…wonderful maybe? Crappy, probably? Either wise, it was as plain and extraordinary as a pancake – at first you're all excited and by the end you're sick of it.
But, if one was to say the most expected couple to get together – Neji and Tenten – that year, and they wouldn't yet get together? Well, that was a sure waste of money.
Even though as much money Tsunade bet on them to get together as opposed to Jiraiya, hell, none of them won. Though Kakashi did against Gai.
But hey, not the intended saga.
All in all, the year could be put through as many periodic and elemental jutsus as possible in this world – and yet – still be an okay/crappy time.
Let's just skip to the party.
As if thinking without oblivious intentions, the fellow two smirked as they hid the bottle of cooled sake.
"Think that this is a good enough hiding place from Lee?" Tenten questioned, brushing off invisible specks of dirt.
Neji sighed. "Hopefully." He managed to saunter over to the open cabinet on the kitchen's wet, marble flooring. The girl rolled her eyes and followed him.
"Close that door Neji," she ordered willfully. "If someone comes before Lee realizes that he's been tricked into ninety percent off green spandex suits, he'll get angry and come back here."
The Hyuuga prodigy glared at her while skimming through various party products found in the back corners of the small cabinet. "You do so. Then find some ivy to cover our finger prints. Get some aloe as well."
Tenten sighed as she walked over to close the door and then raced up the stairs to uncover the hidden items in the bathroom.
Once the girl left, Neji paused his searching to realize a small speck of dignity inside the outskirts of his brain. "New Years…" he murmured. A small smirk appeared on his face.
Pulling out an obsidian box behind the cereal, Neji slowly open it with a tinge of delicacy to reveal a lavender diamond ring engraved with the petite font reading, "To Tenten: Happy New Years. Love, Neji."
She would be quite surprised when she would uncork the champagne and there would hide a shiny ring with her name on it.
Neji Hyuuga would be quite the happy man the next day. If he would remember to lock the damn door and see a brand new day.
"NEJI! TENTEN-CHAN! THERE WAS NO NINTEY PERCENT OFF SPANDEX SUITS ON SALE!"
