READ THIS AND YOU WON'T BE DOOMED TO BE POOPED ON BY A BIRD AND THEN ROT IN A CORNER.

BEEP BEEP BOOP BA BOOP DA DO DING! WAKE UP NARUTO YOUR'E GONNA BE LATE!!!!!!!!!

"Oh dude it so gosh darn early…" Naruto said groggily.

Processing… Processing… Processing… "OH MY GOSH MY ALARM CLOCK IS TALKING TO ME!!!!!" Naruto was fully awake now.

When Naruto heard no more he brushed it off, got dressed and went to the hot springs to meet with the Pervy Sage.

When he finally gets there after doing everything

"What's up Pervy Sage?!" Yelled Naruto from across the training grounds.

The Toad Sage gave him a skeptical look, "To start it off, YOU'RE LATE!!!!! AND HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY NOT TO CALL ME THAT TO GET IT DRILLED IN THAT TINY BRAIN OF YOURS!!!!!"

Naruto swiped off the Sage's words like dead bugs on the windshield. "So… Anyway, why did ya have to call me out here so early?"

"Well… it's been a while since I taught you the open the "Nine-Tails chalkra"."

"Yeah so?" replied the tired Naruto.

Sigh "Never mind…" he looked over "anyways we've located Orochimaru."

"YOU'RE SURE!?!!!!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.

"YES!!!" Pervy Sage yelled back, " and you need to tell Sakura, Shikamaru, and Hinata to meet in seven days at the edge of town okay?"

"Anything-"

"No just go darn-it!!!"

Near the hospital… wait no in the hospital

"Hey!" Naruto walked up to the front, "Sakura has a new mission next week and I need to tell her the details, NOW!"

Sakura came up, "WHAT IS IT NARUTO I WAS TREATING A-"

"Sakura we've located Orochimaru!"

looks over & stares emptily "Really…?" Sakura said.

"Yeah… look, go tell Shikamaru ok? We're meeting in 7 days at the edge of town… I'll go tell Hinata."

"Yeah you'll tell Hinata your girlfriend."

"WHAT!!!"

"Nothing…"

Like Hinata would ever take me on a date…Sigh

At the three poles

"Oh, Hinata" said Naruto. Hinata was standing at the pole doing one of her hobbies of staring off into space waiting until the space aliens came.

Crack Hinata spun around, and came face to face with Naruto. She blushed furiously. He started out with the classic, "Hinata your face is red do you have a fever?"

Naruto is so stupid as not have realized that after how long? That I'm blushing because I like him?!!! Baka… "No Naruto, I'm fine, how are you today?" Hinata said in a sweet voice hiding her thoughts.

"Oh… I just came by to tell you that in a week you, me, Shikamaru, Sakura, and Kiba. And the Pervy Sage is going to join us too. To uh, go try and retrieve Sauske." Naruto replied sheepishly.

Hinata nodded in agreement. They were both thinking the same thing; that this would be their first mission together in a few years. They were both friends and both liked each other more than that but neither of them knew what to start at.

"Um…" they both said in unison.

Hinata opened her mouth, "You go…"

She was cut off by Naruto who said, "No, you go first."

"Um, well Naruto, I was meaning to tell you, that uh, I like you more than a friend!" In a hurried tone. Do you really? OMG WHOS THERE! Go on I'll tell you later.

"Yeah me too," Naruto said, (Kinda more serious when he's older hu?) "do you want to eat ramen together tonight?"

Hinata was at lost for words, Wow! Naruto finally asked me out after all these years! But is it what you really want? Well du I've always wanted that. It's all your choice but don't come running to me when he dumps you or cheats on you. But… YOU ARE ME!!!!! Took you long enough, you got me, but no more advice from Miss Inner Hinata!!!! Yeah sure you do that. She only nodded, ignoring her inner self.

"You okay Hinata you're all spacey," Questioned Naruto. "And that's great you decided that you wanted to go out to ramen with me."

"See ya at eight." Yelled Naruto in his good-bye.

"See ya!" Hinata yelled back.

Hinata swelled with confidence I talked to him with out fainting! And did Naruto just ask me on a date?

NOTE TO ALL READERS- AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS WENT BY, SAKURA AND HINATA ARE BEST OF BEST FRIENDS.

HOPED YOU ENJOYED THE STORY, AND IF YOU DIDN'T I HOPE YOUR EYES BURN OUT AND THEN YOU STAGGER INTO A CORNER AND ROT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
