coupla hours passed, and now most everybody's drunk. hee hee! -NTFE

"Who's up for another round, guys?" the bartender crowed to the group. They all started shouting out 'yes's and laughing maniacally. They were crowded around a table where they played cards. The bartender brought them more beers, and they laughed again.

"So, Ne-eji," Naruto slurred his words, as he was drunk. "Did y-oo and Tent-en get it o-on?"

Neji, not as drunk as Naruto, replied, "Yeah, su-ure…" then refocused on the cards he had in his hands. He was playing against Shikamaru, who only had a couple of beers and was only a little tipsy, and Kiba, who was delirious.

Tenten and the girls were on the couch behind the boys, and they were laughing as well. "We didn't do-o it… Ne-ej.." she laughed loudly. Temari wasn't very drunk. She'd had enough drinks in her time to have as many as she wanted and only be like Shikamaru now.

Ino looked at the ceiling and laughed like there was no tomorrow. "That guy looks fu-unny, doesn't he lo-ook fu-unny?!" she choked through her laughs as she pointed at a guy who walked through the door. "HE LOOKS SO FU-UNNY!!" she screamed again, then finally passed out. Naruto laughed hysterically at Ino, and Kiba and Choji joined him.

"'He looks so-o fu-unny!'" Naruto imitated Ino, which threw the boys into another round of laughs.

Hinata went to Naruto and sat in his lap. They toyed with each other, teasing and paying no attention to the fact Hinata's feet had just knocked over a table and two chairs. Tenten, Temari, and Sakura finally got up and sat at the bar for some mildly drunk gossip.

Temari was the first to speak. "So, what did you and Nej-i do tonight, hu-uh?" she hiccupped a little.

"We we-ent out for dinner at the Ho-ot Rock." Tenten giggled. "We didn't get it o-on, if that's wha-at you were thi-nking.." She tipped over the back of her chair.

Lucky for her, Temari caught her before she hit the ground. "We gotta get her home. Right, Sakura?" Temari looked around for her. "Um, Sakura..?" She spotted her legs on the chair. Sakura had fallen over too. They were both too drunk to stay conscious, and because Temari was a little drink, she couldn't drive them home.

With the two girls on her shoulders, Temari excused herself and them from the party, thanking Neji for Tenten's dinner. Outside, she propped them both on the wall and put some money in the pay phone to call a cab.

"Tenten. Are you awake now?"

Tenten's vision was blurry. Who was talking? She couldn't recognize the room at first. Someone shook her. "C'mon, Tenten. It's no fun without you!" Sakura pleaded.

"Uhn…" she groaned. "What am I doing here? What happened…?"

"You got drunk and passed out, like I did. You do know that Naruto asked Neji if you two got it on and he said yes, right?" Temari looked amused. Tenten shot up.

"He WHAT?!" She bellowed, "WE DIDN'T! THAT'S SO CRAZY!"

"Well, 'Nej' seems to think so." Sakura said, imitating Tenten's couple nickname for Neji. "And now, so do Naruto and the others."

Tenten stomped over to her bag and picked her phone out. "You know what? I'm gonna give him a call." Sakura and Temari tried to grab the phone away from her, but she walked away without looking up. She was already speed dialing him.

"Yeah. Hello, Neji?"

"Hn..? Tenten? Is that you?" Neji sounded tired, groggy.

"Yeppers, it's me. Hey, did you tell the guys we did it? Because we so did not." Tenten added a chuckle at the end to make it sound friendlier. Not that I don't want to! She thought dreamily. Only, she didn't realize that she said it out loud. Not until she noticed Temari and Sakura laughing their guts out.

"Um…" Neji stuttered, no doubt turning tomato red. "Well…."

"Ohmigosh! Nej, I'm so sorry! I did not mean that!" Tenten blurted out.

"I do to."

"Of course you do, I-! WHAT?!" Tenten nearly screamed into the phone. "Um, Neji, sorry. I have to, uh… you know…" Stupid, stupid, stupid! She mentally slapped herself. Do what? What do I have to do that Neji would know about?! I have the worst comebacks in the WORLD!

"Yeah, yeah. Don't really need an explanation. See you tomorrow night." Neji said. "Kiss."

Tenten giggled. "Okay, tomorrow. Kiss!" He hung up.

"WHAT DID HE SAY?!" Tenten was tackled to the floor by Temari and Sakura.

"Get the hell OFFA me!" She automatically shoved them. Hard.

"Ouch!" Sakura cried. "What was that for? We just wanted to know what he said, dammit!"

"He said... stuff." Tenten blushed deeply. I can't believe he said... that he wanted to do it too...

Where is my crush going to take me?!

I'm so bad its good. Ilove torturing the characters with embarrassment! -NTFE3 kiss!
