Mysty-Wow, sorry this is so late, guys!

S.G.-Yeah, you see, there was this man-eating sundae and-

Mysty-That's Kakashi's line

Kakashi-Yeah, only I can get away with lame excuses for being late!

S.G.-When did you get here??

Mysty-OMG, Kakashi's here!

S.G.-I got the rope if you've got the chair.

Mysty-Got it!

Kakashi-Oh boy… (tries to run)

S.G.-Wait!!

(Everyone stops…even Kakashi O.O)

S.G.-Mysty does not own Naruto. She only owns her OC characters and the story they are in. There, we can go now. (chases Kakashi with Mysty)

Chapter Eight-Duel Celebration and the Birth of Strong Connections

"Naruto, what should we do?" Hinata asked. "Today is the day that Neji and Tenten are getting married."

Naruto yells out, "And Gaara and Ino! I have to go to their weddings. What are we gonna do?"

Hinata blushed. "Um, Naruto, are you asking me to go with you?"

Naruto turns to her. "Weren't you planning on going?"

She looks down and then answers in a whisper, "yes…a-are we going together?"

Naruto now understands her question and thinks to himself, Man I am stupid!

"Hinata, stand right there, I will be right back."

He runs out to the back and grabs some wild flowers, comes in and ask ever so cheerfully, "Hinata, I would be honored if you were my date to both weddings."

Hinata's eyes watered. "Yes, I will go with you."

Gaara is getting ready and is very frustrated.

Kankouro, as per usual, is playing with his puppet and Temari is mooning over some guy whom I can't remember his name. 

Ok, ok, I, Gaara as Temari's brother hate him, that's all.

"Ino, you look beautiful. That dress is so lovely."

Ino looks at Shikamaru and replies, "I am so happy and am glad you are here and you too Chouji. You are my very important friends, I love you guys."

"Why are you marrying Gaara?" Chouji asked in a low voice.

"Oh silly, we love each other, and I am very happy that we changed each others lives and are not alone. When we got to know each other we found that being so different made us even each other out. We complete each other."

Sakura walks in and yells, "You're a sap!"

"Ha, this coming from you, the crazy beach wedding girl."

"Hey, watch it." Sakura responded. "My wedding was tasteful and I looked great. Look at this beautiful body. I didn't want to hide it in a dress that made me look like a pig!"

Ino reached over to hit Sakura and then they both burst out laughing!

"I am happy you made it back from your honeymoon with Lee to come to my wedding!"

"Ino for you anything! We've been best friends and rivals forever. Who else will keep you grounded? By the way, Shikamaru looks gorgeous! That suit matches him so well. And Chouji, just wow!"

At Tenten's home, she is in a beautiful simple dress and her hair is done up with roses as barrettes. Her dress is long but not like Ino's. Very flattering and simple. The only other color seen is the red from the roses. Her lips are red, and she looks porcelain.

Gai is standing in the corner just staring at her and telling her how he can not believe how beautiful his warrior looks. "What a woman you've become…" He is very proud.

Tenten yells at Gai. "Stop! Your gonna ruin my makeup!"

Just then, Hinata walks in. "Can I help with anything?"

"Oh, Hinata, you're not dressed yet? You're my maid of honor. Hurry into your dress."

"But, but, Tenten, it's…um…it's red a-and very ………………."

"Revealing?" Tenten finished.

"Yes…" she whispered. "Ok, I will just try it on again." Hinata seemed so worried.

Gai was sitting there waiting for her to emerge from the dressing room. As they're talking, Lee and Naruto arrive. Both in really nice cream-colored suits.

Gai tells them to wait cause the girls are changing. Just then, Naruto sees Hinata and just falls all over himself.

"Hin--- ata you…look, um…beautiful. Wow…you took my breath away."

Hinata ran back in the bathroom.

"Did I say something wrong?" Naruto asked. Lee laughed.

"We need to talk. Let's go outside. Tenten we will be back in a few minutes."

Tenten laughs a little. "Naruto, you and Hinata will make a cute couple. "

When they get outside, Lee starts to talk, "How do you feel about Hinata?"

"Well," Naruto starts to tell him. "I like her a lot. She is very pretty and sweet but very strange."

"STRANGE??! What do you mean?!" asked Lee, sort of in shock.

"Well, when she talks sometimes, I am kinda not listening. She does talk low but no, that's not it. I just want to kiss her, but I would never. She is so nice. I will never disrespect her!"

"Oh, Naruto, you silly boy. Listen to the advice from the married man. Hinata is into you. She likes you a lot. Ask her tonight to be your girlfriend. It will be beautiful. I know she will say yes."

Naruto thinks for a minute. "Yes! I can give her this. I bought it for her last year but was to shy to give it to her. I will do it tonight after the weddings."

Gaara and Ino's wedding is first.

Everyone is there and all the girls are crying.

Tenten is sitting in a side room watching from a distance so as not to let Neji see her.

Right after the wedding Gaara and Ino went to take pictures and then meet at the shrine for their comrades' wedding.

The reception was going to be celebrated together.

Tenten and Neji's wedding was short and sweet, where as Gaara and Ino's was very traditional and long.

After the ceremonies, the second couple went for pictures and everyone met at the reception site.

There everyone danced and played games, ate good foods, and then the cake was cut.

Everyone was having a wonderful time. Soon, the brides yelled out, "It's time to toss the bouquets!", and all the single girls went into the middle screaming and hoping to catch it.

Tenten stood on one end of the room and Ino on the other.

Naruto took this opportunity to pull his gift out of his pocket and ask Hinata to come with him.

But as she turned to him, the bouquet fell right into her hands when she extended them from being pulled slightly by Naruto to lead her outside.

Both of them look shocked and scared! Everyone cheered!

Hinata is next to be married. She caught Ino's bouquet.

But who caught Tenten's you ask?

Tsunade' did.

Why? We just don't know. But she seemed pretty mad. She also was not in the crowd trying to catch it, but alas, it fell into her lap.

Wink, winks came from a certain Jiraiya!

Outside in front of the beautiful waterfall, Naruto again pulls out a box. "Hinata I have a question for you."

Hinata blushes and just nods.

"I bought you a present and I have a question. Please accept the gift even if your response is no."

Meanwhile, as Naruto is talking, Hinata is turning red and starting to shake. She has no clue what he is gonna say or what the gift is.

"Hmmm, o-ok, Naruto, ask me w-whatever you want…" She is now talking but has no clue what she is saying, she is too scared.

"Hinata, here, ---------------------------."

He gives her the box and she opens it to see a beautiful necklace.

The necklace has the Kanji symbol for love. (same as Gaara's forehead)

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Hinata looks at Naruto and, without thinking, hugs him super tightly and then faints.

Neji, who has been standing back watching this all walks over and picks up Hinata from Naruto's arms. "It's ok," he laughed softly. "Follow me inside. She is just overwhelmed. That was really nice of you. Didn't know you knew she was in love with you."

Neji didn't notice but Naruto was not listening. He was speechless as Hinata is the first girl that hugged him that way and she might have just become his first girlfriend.

Well, the wedding is over and it's been a few months now.

Hinata and Naruto are happily in love, but still doing missions and sometimes are separated for a bit.

Ino and Gaara are expecting their first child in a few months and so are Tenten and Neji!

They seem to be due for the same day.

October 31.

Two Scorpio?

Hmm, what will it be like to have 2 children of 2 different families born on the same day?

Naruto has been very supportive to Gaara, like the brother he never had.

At the same time he grew very close to Neji. As he came to understand that Hinata and his relationship was very serious, they became family.

When the girls were born, Ino and Tenten were together on their first mission as a team.

It was very weird for them and both being ready to have their babies it was not easy.

Naruto actually delivered their babies and promised to always be there and protect them both with his life. The day the girls were born, he discovered he had a unique talent and bond with them that could not be broken.

He was able to connect with them inside their mind and understand what they wanted or needed.

Bond forever by love and loyalty,

Naruto, Naara, and Rose.

You know why Naara's name is what it is but do you know why Rose is the given name?

Because when Rose was born, Naruto told Tenten that not even the Roses she wore on her head the day she married Neji could compare to the beauty of the rose right before him.

Delicate but beautiful.

Naruto knew those girls were special the moment they were born. And Gaara and Neji will always be grateful that he was there for their wives and babies.

He is their official uncle.
