Tenten skipped merrily for school. Today, she has done all her home works, she has woken up early, and there's NO way that the teachers will reprimand again! Oh happy day it is. Well… Until she finds out what's in store for her.
She was about to turn from a corner when… somebody bumped at her. "OUCH! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Tenten yelled, but paused upon seeing who it is.
"… Oh. Sorry, Neji."
Neji didn't show any emotion. But something made her perplexed as ever! Neji… laughed! Tenten widened her eyes. HYUUGA NEJI! LAUGHING! OH THE WORLD IS GOING UPSIDE DOWN! THE SUN IS DANCING! THE MOON IS SINGING! THE CLOUDS ARE WRESTLING!
"Sorry, but I just remembered something…" Neji stated with a smirk. "A long time ago, this is how me and my best friend met. She acts just like you."
"She?" Tenten asked, feeling a weird pang in her heart.
"Yes. She. I wonder where she is right now though." He sighed.
"Well, I certainly wouldn't know!" Tenten shrugged and started to walk away.
"So… you don't remember." She made out, according to what Neji just mumbled, but she's still not sure. Maybe she's just imagining things again. She toddled away to her classroom.

"Well… have you told her yet?" A guy with raven hair, and a smirk across his face asked. His companion, a pearl-eyed sighed, "no. Not exactly."
Raven-haired scowled. "You're such a chicken, you know that!"
The pearly-eyed frowned deeply. "Some best friend you are!"
The raven-haired chuckled, "at least I can say: 'you're my childhood friend, and I know you're a girl' that easy!"
The pearly eyed rolled his eyes. "Sasuke, don't make this hard for me."
"Oh come on, Neji! Just God damn say it to her! You're making me sick!" The raven-haired retorted. "Besides…" Pause. "You two make a great couple." He smirked and left.
The pearly-eyed sighed. "Whatever you say."

Ding Dong! The announcer hummed. "Good morning my oh-so loveable students!" Tsunade's voice greeted. "I have some good news for you, so listen up! SHUT UP FOR A WHILE, WILL 'YA! Ehem… Well, today chosen people will be excused to fix the room for the dance!"
"YA HEAR THAT, TENTEN! BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAAA! SMACK THAT ON YOUR FACE!"
Tentne groaned. "Whatever."
"Oh just shut up. That would be all."

Tenten grumbled as she fixed the decoration, oh she was mad! VERY mad! And standing on a ladder doesn't help at all! And to think she did her home works for this. When suddenly… "Whoa!" She lost her balance and started to fall. I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! Tenten thought while grasping her hat.
She heard screams of terror. "TENTEN-KUN!"
"TENTEN-KUN! BEFOREYOUDIEIWANTTOTELLYOUTHATILOVEYOUEVENIFYOU'REGAY!" A random girl screamed speedily, Tenten scowled at this.
"SOMEBODY SAVE TENTEN-KUN!"
Tenten shut her eyes tight as she waited for her final outcome. Everything seemed to be in slow motion! When suddenly, a memory flashed before her eyes. "Tenten, promise me that you'll still be my best friend no matter what! We'll meet again, I promise!" A voice rang in her mind, her head started to ache, as a blur of a little boy appeared in her mind's eye. And then, she remembered what Neji said a while ago… "So… you don't remember."
She gasped and fainted. But before she does, she felt a pair of arms catch her.
Sasuke smirked as he saw what he's "best friend" had done. "Isn't a guy heavy?" Sasuke asked. Neji rolled his eyes, "oh piss off."
"I kinda agree with Sasuke this time. Isn't a guy heavy, it seems like you're just wearing a chic!" Naruto declared; others nodded. Sasuke laughed nervously, "now, now! Shut up everybody, or do you want me killed? NOW DO YOUR WORKS!" He demanded, already seeing Neji fuming up.

Tenten gasped as she sat up. "W-where…?"
"You're in the clinic."
She turned, seeing Neji leaning on a wall. "You fainted when you fell from the ugly piece of ladder. You shouldn't be doing stupid things, you know."
Tenten scowled, but her glower faded away. "I remember now…"
Neji turned to her. "Remember? Remember what?"
"… Everything." She responded. "You're Neji… The Neji… My childhood friend…"
Neji's heart beat increased speed. "…" He was speechless. Speechless indeed. "W-… What are you gonna do about it?"
Tenten shook her head. "I-… don't know." She answered, her brown hair flowing against her back. "I pretty much don't really know how to react… I mean… You're my childhood friend that left me with some reason."
Silence.
Very looong silence.
"Do you… have a different best friend now?" Tenten asked with a solemn look. "I have…"
"Oh." She could only reply, feeling extremely disappointed.
"But nobody can take your place."
Tenten smiled weakly. "I guess." Pause. "Somebody could take the place, you know."
Neji raised a brow. "Why?"
Tenten smiled brightly. "I no longer want to be your best friend!"
"What?" Neji answered with a quizzical look. Tenten laughed. "Find out why yourself!" She walked away after putting on her hat again. She mumbled something, that even he can't hear it. Little did he know…
Somebody's falling for him.

Sneak Peek:
"TENTEN'S A GIRL!" Naruto repeated… loudly. Loud enough for the others to hear.
"WHAT!" The students screamed.
Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru slapped their foreheads. "Naruto…"
"T-Tenten's… a girl?" The others chanted in a creepy way.
"What's going on?" Tenten asked as she entered the room.
"TENTEN!" All of them exclaimed.
"What?"
"YOU'RE A GIRL!"
"…"
"…"
"……………………………."
"……………………………."
"So?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! TENTEN'S A GIRL! AAAAAAAAAH!" The mob screamed.
Sakura and Ino came upon the scene. "We can't accept a girl wearing that, Tenten-chan. I'm sure you'll make a very nice model."
Tenten gulped.
