A/N: Well…this was a challenge to get done in time. Don't forget to vote for what chapter fic I do next!
Contains: Oh, you guys know what it could contain by now!
Shino woke up the next morning right on time. Round one was finished and he soon he would have to start thinking about his next girl off. If making the choice was supposed to be hard, it hadn't been hard the night before. In fact, it had been pretty easy considering Temari didn't even want to win. She could chase Shikamaru or whatever.
He got dressed and went to meet the rest of the group. Shino glanced at each of them. Shinjin smiling brightly, Ino looking like she had just gotten up (which she had), Tenten grinning, Sakura looking friendly, and Hinata smiling shyly. Temari was nowhere in sight, nor was Rob.
"'Morning," Tenten said.
A few minutes passed before Shinjin broke the silence with, "Where is he?" No one had any idea and they waited for about an hour before Rob came up, laughing.
"You (ha ha) fell for it!" he said. "I set (hee hee) your alarms (ha ha ha) back an hour!" And he dissolved into insane laughter.
"What kind of crap is that?!?!" Shinjin asked.
"Why'd you do that?" Ino demanded.
The host only laughed harder. "I seriously didn't think you guys would fall for it!"
"That still doesn't answer why you did it!" Sakura said.
"I just wanted to have a little fun with you guys," he replied, looking innocent. "But let's get down to business. I went ahead and drew the names before I showed up. Today's episode will have breakfast with Shinjin, lunch with Tenten, and dinner with Ino. Tomorrow we'll have breakfast with Hinata and lunch with Sakura."
"Aw, last again?" Sakura complained.
"Well, you guys can enjoy yourselves," Rob said. "Just make sure we're all back here at the afternoon meeting time." He waved off Shino and Shinjin and they left.
First thing Shinjin said when they sat down at the restaurant was, "I'm not much of a morning eater. I really won't be eating much."
Shino nodded and she went on with, "Your friends are nice. You've known Hinata awhile, right? She's a sweet one. And Ino and Temari can be hilarious with this Shikamaru person."
Shinjin spent more time talking than eating, just like always. She was in a much better mood because he had kept her on. He had kept her on. She had been so sure that he would ditch her, first chance he got, but he never did. She couldn't help but be happy.
When the date was over, there was still some time before their next meeting, so Shinjin, Tenten, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura decided to go shopping together. None of them had seen Temari and they all forgot to check in and ask if she wanted to come along.
As Sakura glanced at various windows, she said, "I wonder why I keep being the one who goes last. Does the luck of the draw hate me or something?"
Tenten and Shinjin laughed. "I keep going second," Tenten said. "You think Rob's just making them up in his head and never really drawing anything?"
"I wouldn't put it past the little sneak," said Ino.
"M-maybe he isn't," Hinata said. "I didn't go first again…"
"He probably is just mixing it up a little bit," Sakura said.
"You girls are absolutely crazy!" Shinjin said. "Even if he was, is that really any big deal?"
"Thanks for ruining the fun," said Tenten in a fake sad voice.
"My greatest apologies," Shinjin said in a fake apologetic voice.
LATER
"Hello, Temari," Rob said at the meeting. Yes, Temari had also shown up at this meeting. "Tenten, Shino, both of you can go to lunch and afterwards, a trip to the amusement park."
The two walked out to go on their date and Temari turned to the other girls as she said, "Hey, guys. How's it been without me?"
"Well," Shinjin said, "it's one less date Shino has to go on and one less person who went shopping with us today."
"I got to sleep late and got some stuff from the hotel gift shop for Gaara and Kankuro," said Temari.
WITH THE DATE
"How do you feel about Shinjin?" Tenten asked suddenly. She hadn't meant to. She had been thinking about how she wished she could ask, but didn't want to.
"What?" Shino asked, looking up from his food.
"Nothing, nothing," Tenten said, waving her hand.
"No, you said something," he said.
"Okay," she said in defeat. "I asked how you felt about Shinjin. I was just curious, you know, because you've only just met her and I think she's pretty nice."
"Yeah, she's nice," said Shino. "She always goes out of her way to make sure I'm happy."
Tenten giggled. She knew exactly why Shinjin was doing that, but didn't say anything.
LATER
Tenten sure was different than Hinata was at the amusement park. She wanted to ride this, she wanted to ride that, she wanted ice cream, she wanted to play that game.
One thing was certain: it was much less calm now and he ended up riding more in that day than he probably had in his life. The Aburames were never ones to go to amusement parks.
As soon as Tenten had done just about everything and they realized it was getting close to time for the meeting, they headed back.
"Alrighty," Rob said. "After your dinner with Ino, you guys are going to a movie. We'd send you to a play, but there was only one in town and I doubt Shino would want to see it again. Anyway, you two can go."
Temari hadn't been at this meeting, but she had eaten lunch and went swimming with the other girls. The episode was due to air on TV as soon as Round Two was over and they all got that day off. The girls were all planning to go on a tour of the city and then watch the episode later on TV.
Ino didn't say much this time. Shino had figured out that she wanted him to keep Temari the entire time and figured she was holding it against him that she had been his first off. She would have to get over it. He couldn't help it that he didn't like Temari as much as she had wanted him to.
This movie was about a girl who had been rejected by boys her entire life. Now that she was a senior in high school, she had decided to not worry about boys anymore. This all changed when an 18 year old training to be a teacher came to help out her biology teacher.
They got back and joined the group for the meeting. "This is the end of episode four," Rob said. "Tomorrow, Hinata gets a date. See you all in the morning."
And everyone went to bed.
A/N: That movie was actually one that I started writing after I roleplayed it with one of my best friends. It was called Reluctant Hannah, and it was in a collection of movies I tried to write.
