A/N: Nothing really special to notice this time. This time isn't really part of a memory, just about TenTen's BFFs. Hope ya like it!

Chapter 3 - Nothing like Friends

Sakura was very happy as she was teamed up with Sasuke.

The girls didn't have anything to do, so they decided to spend the day at TenTen's house.

"Hey, TenTen. What's the matter with you? You look so, umm… so, I don't know,"

"So, unenergetic," Sakura finished the statement for Ino.

"Yeah. TenTen-chan, are you okay?" asked Hinata. Hinata doesn't stammer anymore, but she was still as polite as ever.

"I'm fine," mumbled TenTen.

Finally! You guys notice me! Wait until my feet are better. I'm so kicking your asses! - TenTen (A/N: It doesn't really sound like TenTen, but she's kinda pissed off this time.)

"You don't look fine to us, TenTen," said Ino, sternly.

"What happened?" asked Sakura, also getting very serious.

"Nothing," mumbled TenTen.

"Oh, come on, TenTen! Tell us! Then only we can help you!" said Ino.

"I'll tell you when we arrive at my place," promised TenTen.

But then again.. they aren't my best friends for nothing.. - TenTen.

So, TenTen, as she had promised, told them everything when they arrived at her house, in her bedroom.

After hearing the whole story, Ino, Sakura and Hinata were very mad.

"Thank god, Neji-nei-san was there!" said Hinata, who among the three friends seem to be the calmest.

"Talking about Neji, is he mute, Hinata?" asked TenTen.

"No, he isn't, but he hardly talks."

"I thought he can only speak the word 'Hnn..' and nothing else!"

"He's cute, though," said Ino.

"Yeah, but not as cute as Sasuke-kun. Sasuke-kun is just soo cute," said Sakura, squealing at the word 'so'.

"If he is THAT cute, he'll be a girl, Sakura," said TenTen.

Hinata laughed, "Yeah, Sakura-chan. He can't be that cute!"

"Don't insult Sasuke kun in front of us!" said Ino, in a fake-angry voice.

Then they heard Naruto shouting and running.

Hinata, who was looking out of the window, reddened and quickly shut the curtain.

TenTen, Sakura, and Ino heard it and quickly went to the window to see what's going on, but Hinata was blocking the way.

They managed to get pass the poor red-faced girl and saw Naruto, running with Iruka-sensei right behind him.

They turned to Hinata, who reddened even more.

"Hinata!" exclaimed Sakura.

"I-I-I-I" stammered Hinata. (A/N: Remember when I said Hinata doesn't stammer anymore?? Well, not at usual conversations, just when she's out of words)

"Hinata?" asked TenTen, very gently as if Hinata's just fainted and regained her conscious.

"Y-Yes, TenTen-chan," answered Hinata.

"HINATA! Why are you peeping like that?! Worse, why did you hide that from us?" said Ino.

"I-I was just looking out of the window. I wasn't peeping!"

"Hinata, why do you like him anyway? Sasuke is waaay better than him!" said Sakura.

"Yeah and he's soo cool, unlike Naruto," agreed Ino.

"Yep, Ino's right," agreed Sakura, nodding her head.

"B-but, Naruto is nice too," said Hinata.

"Yeah, but he's a trouble maker," said Ino.

"AND he's annoying. I don't know why you like him," said Sakura.

"Hinata, tell us why you like him. We've already given you our reason," asked Ino.

"W-Well……," said Hinata.

"Well?" asked Sakura pressing on.

"Anyway, Sakura and Ino, let's talk about something else, this is boring," asked TenTen. Hinata gave TenTen a 'Thank you!' look.

"TenTen, I don't know why you don't like any boys! No wonder half of Konoha thinks you are a tomboy!" said Ino.

"Well, Ino. I don't know why YOU like to talk about boys! No wonder a lot of boys like you!" said TenTen.

Phew.. I almost say that everyone thinks she's a flirt.

"TenTen, wait till you like someone and can't let go of him!" said Sakura, smiling,

"Now, let's see who is free AND cool…." Sakura tapped on her chin thoughtfully.

"Ah ha! I know! Hyuuga Neji! He's perfect for you, TenTen," exclaimed Ino.

She seemed very please with herself as if she defeated Shikamaru on chess.

TenTen almost spilled out the coffee she was drinking.

Her friends laughed, including Ino who said, "I'm just kidding! Don't take it seriously!"

"Ha-ha, very funny!" said TenTen, sarcastically.

I can tell by your face that you aren't kiding, Ino! -TenTen

Ino, who was apparently still thinking about the Rose, took a sip from the coffee and said "How dare she! That stupid bitch! Let me go and get her."

"Yeah, Let US go and get her," said Sakura, emphasizing especially on the word "us" and smirked at Ino.

"Whatever! Don't be so bossy, big forehead" replied Ino.

"Ino-pig, I haven't insulted you yet!" said Sakura.

"You just did, big forehead. Who are you to call me a pig?"

"So? As if there's a law that I can't!"

"Big forehead. Shut your mouth! Your breath stinks!"

"It's my mouth! I can do whatever I want and it's YOUR breath which stinks."

"Ha-ha. Copy cat! Repeating what I said!"

"No, I'm not, piggy. Oink Oink!"

"Look who's the pig, now?"

"You are!"

"You are the one who said 'Oink. Oink', big forehead"

"Well, you just said that too!"

"I was telling what you said"

"Still, you said that!"

"Just because I said that. That doesn't make me a pig!"

"WELL, IT DOESN'T MAKE ME EITHER!" shouted Sakura.

"YES IT DOES!"

"PROVE IT!"

"YOU SAID OINK OINK AND I WAS TELLING WHAT YOU SAID! SO, THAT MEANS THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS THE PIG."

"YOU AREN'T MAKING ANY SENSE, PIGGY!"

"JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T MAKE SENSE, BIG FOREHEAD."

"OH YEAH?"

"YEAH!"

"WILL YOU TWO CUT IT OFF?!" shouted TenTen and Hinata.

"Huh?" said Sakura, lowering her voice.

"Err……. Sorry," said Ino.

"Yeah, sorry," said Sakura.

TenTen threw a pillow and hit Sakura on the face.

OMG! I hit her??? Wow!! I'm pretty good at throwing things.. Well, nobody call me weapon mistress for nothing! - TenTen

Sakura was also surprised.

She hadn't see that coming.

She quickly picked up the pillow and threw it back at TenTen with force.

TenTen ducked and the pillow hit Hinata on the head who was gathering up the coffee cups.

"Opps!" said Sakura.

Hinata stopped for a while.

Then she didn't do anything back, but just simply walked out of the room as if nothing happened.

"Phew, I thought Hinata was going to throw one of the cups to me," said Sakura as another pillow came flying past her and hit Sakura.

Some of the silicon from the pillow flew out and got stuck on Sakura's hair.

"TENTEN!" said Sakura, who was annoyed. Ino laughed at Sakura just as another pillow come flying and hit Ino.

"Ouch! That hurts, TenTen! Don't put chakras when you throw!" Ino said as she turned to TenTen, but instead saw Hinata.

Just then another pillow comes flying and hit Ino again. Ino threw back the pillow to Hinata, but hit TenTen.

Then another one hit Ino on the back.

So, the pillow fight began.

It was fun.

I change my mind about my bffs. They are AWESOME! They are great at cheering and gossiping but.. it's part of every girls' life.

"Let's spend the night at TenTen's house," said Sakura breaking TenTen's thought.

"Yeah, good idea, Sakura," said Ino.

"We'll have to go and take things from our house," said Hinata.

"But, Sakura, don't you have to get ready for tomorrow? After all, you are meeting Sasuke," said TenTen.

"Nah, don't worry about it. Who cares! You guys are more important," said Sakura. TenTen smiled.

So, they left to take things and instantly returned with stuffs.

They played games, gossip (A/N: surprised, surprised? Don't think so.. after all, there's Sakura and Ino), watched TV and went to bed at midnight.

-END-

"It sounds so fun, mommy. Do you think I'll find friends like that?" asked little Tera

"Of course! No one can resist you, Tera," replied TenTen, kissing Tera's forehead.

"Really? What do you think, big brother?"

"….."

"Big Brother?"

"He's asleep, Tera. Guess he was pretty tired today at the academy."

"Oh," said Tera, sounding disappointed.

"You can ask him tomorrow. But for now, you should sleep," said TenTen, closing the light, "Sweet dreams!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

TenTen quietly entered her bedroom.

I wonder if he is asleep…

The weapon mistress tiptoed toward the bed and sure enough, there was the sleeping Neji.

*smiled* He looks so cute! And he seems to be in a deep sleep. Better not disturb him.

TenTen changed into her PJ and climbed onto the bed.

"TenTen?"

"Hn? Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry!"

"Yeah. You better go on a diet. You're getting fatter."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

*laugh* "It's been a while since I've seen you angry."

"…"

TenTen shifted her position, giving her back to Neji.

Oh, great. She's mad at me now.

"I missed you," Neji said, circling his hands around TenTen's waist.

"I was only away for the children's bedtime story."

"Still. I missed you. I need you by my side." Neji pulled his wife toward him and kissed her neck.

That seems to soften TenTen, because she turned around and hugged Neji. They stay like that for a while.

"What's the story today?"

"Since you weren't there, I just told them about my best friends."

"Best friends? It's not Lee, right?"

"Maybe"

This is going to be fun. Neji'll definitely be jealous.

"TenTen! Who are the 'best friends'?" asked Neji, sounding angry. His grip on TenTen tightened as if he won't give TenTen to anyone.

You're mine. And mine ONLY. – Neji.

"Who do you think?"

"TenTen. You know that I don't lik--"

Neji was stop midway by TenTen's kissed.

"I know. It's just fun seeing you jealous. And the best friends are Sakura, Ino and Hinata. Lee's far from being my best friend. I haven't see for ages," explained TenTen.

Neji growled and kissed TenTen hungrily. TenTen pulled back when she have no more oxygen left.

"I'm yours. And only yours, Neji. That's a promise," said TenTen.

A/N: hehe.. The endings should be romantic. Don't you think? Feel free to suggest any ideas that could make this story better. Please review!
