Author's Note: Okay, so why did it take me so long to update. Well computer problems pretty much, among life in general. I had most of this chapter written forever ago, but my computer got wiped of everything. Turns out that I had it saved on an e-mail, so after many more problems I finally got it done. So enjoy! Oh and no lemon this chapter, sorry guys…I'll get to it I promise :.

Chouji asked, "So, what made you decide to take me?"

Tali looked back at him and answered, "Well, you seemed like a good person Chou, and I decided to take a chance," he giggled, "and might I add you're pretty cute."

Chouji blushed and grinned happily, "S-so…should we be getting ready?"

Tali thought about for a second, and answered, "Yeah, we probably should. While you take a shower I'll call my dad, and ask him to bring me a dress."

"A dress?"
"Well, it is a dance silly," Tali giggled while she sat up.

"Heh, alright well, if your going to go in a dress I might as well wear some nice clothing." Chouji said smiling. He walked over to his closet, and grabbed a green shirt, that had small buttons going down it, a white shirt, and blue baggy jeans. After getting some underwear, socks, and a towel he walked into his bathroom. Undressing himself, he got into the shower, letting the water hit his body. He smiled, so much had happened today. He had gotten his first kiss, and first date…finishing his shower he got out, and dried began drying himself off. Putting on the clothes, he passed Tali with a grin. She returned the grin with a smile, and went into the bathroom. Chouji sat on the couch, pulling out a bag of chips and opening them. Taking a couple out he put them into his mouth eating them happily. An hour later Tali came out wearing a red dress, fitting her perfectly, her hair was finally not in a ponytail, and she was wearing…make-up? Indeed this was strange…Chouji would've never guessed that she would ever wear any of that.

"So, how do I look Chou?"

Stuttering, Chouji managed to say, "You look…great."

"Tehee, you think so?"

Chouji nodded in response and asked, "So, should we ask my dad to give us a ride now? The dance starts in about 15 minutes…"

"Hmmm, well we could always be fashionably late," Tali said giggling, "but leaving now sounds better."

Chouji embraced Tali in a hug, grinning they kissed each other. It was a little bit of a childish one since it was quick, but of course…Chouji didn't mind. Tali let Chouji go, and said, "Well, let's go then!"

Chouji nodded and told his father that they were ready; Chouza stood from his seat, grabbed the keys, and drove the two to the school. The two waved goodbye and walked into the gym, hand in hand. Getting a few stares from a few of his tormentors, Chouji blushed a little at the attention. Tali nudged at him, telling him not to be worried, Chouji nodded and walked Tali in further. "Oi! Chouji!" a voice called him. Chouji turned to see that it was Inuzuka Kiba, "Hey…erm….well sorry 'bout earlier, mmk?" he asked reaching his hand out to Chouji. Chouji grinned and shook his hand happily…he was always one to forgive.

"Well, I have to go now, Sakura's flagging me down now so we can dance," with a wave Kiba began to walk away, towards Sakura.

"Tali, I have to run to the bathroom, so I'll be right back," Chouji said to her, Tali answering with a nod. Chouji walked off, out of the gym making a right turn towards the bathrooms. Relieving himself, he washed his hands, and began towards the gym again, but to his surprise Ino pulled him over.

"So, Chouji…I see you brought the new girl," Ino said raising an eyebrow.

"Erm, yeah….so, uh, who did you end up taking?" Chouji asked a little nervous.

"Nobody…surprising yes, but I didn't find anyone I wanted to take," Ino said folding her arms.

"Oh…sorry."

Without warning, Ino kissed Chouji, forcing her tongue into his mouth. Chouji of course, was wide-eyed, and his red color setting in…Ino? Why was Ino kissing him? Didn't she say she couldn't be seen DANCING with him..? Regaining himself, Chouji pulled her away and said, "Ino…"

"Hmmm? Did you like it?"

Ignoring the question Chouji said, "Ino, you do realize I'm with Tali…right?"

"Yeah, but you can always break up with her right?" Ino asked moving closer to Chouji for another kiss.

Chouji dodged out of Ino's, saying, "Ino…I'm with Tali…I'm not the type to cheat on anyone, okay?"

Ino sighed deciding not to push anything further. "Fine," she said before quickly walking off.

Chouji walked away, his face burning, why was Ino doing this now? He wiped his mouth of any evidence of what had just happened and walked back into the gym. Seeing Tali he grinned, and asked, "So, are we going to dance anytime soon?"

Tali put a thoughtful look on her face as she listened to see what song was playing, smiling as she heard a slow song she said, "The only dancing I can do is slow dancing," she giggled, "Otherwise I look stupid."

"Don't worry, I can't dance either," Chouji answered taking hold of her gently and holding her close. All the events that had unfolded with Ino quickly disappeared from his mind with each passing moment as the two danced.

After a couple more slow songs, and several hours later, the two headed back to Chouji's house, and headed for Chouji's room. After changing back into more comfortable clothing they laid down together putting on the TV, the two talked until they began to get tired, Tali falling asleep first. Smiling to himself, Chouji soon joined her and fell asleep. His final thoughts were that tomorrow would be a good day, and what had happened tonight.

After the two were asleep, Chouza quietly walked in and turned the TV, closing the door, his son's happiness shared by him as he went to go lie down…Things were starting to look up for his son.
