The group walked through the mall.
"Where should we stop first?" Kiba asked.
"I believe we should start over there." Shino pointed over to a small boutique.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" The store clerk asked.
"My friend here would like to redo her image. We would like to look at some of your clothes." Shino explained.
"Of course. Now let me just get a look at you." The woman gave Hinata a quick look around. Hinata was wearing another pair of her baggy paint covered jeans and an old white tshirt with more stains on it. "Well, I see that we have a painter here, but what I can't see if that gorgeous figure you have hiding under those baggy clothes." Hinata blushed at the thought of someone calling her gorgeous. "Now I think I know exactly what you need. Come with me." The woman took Hinata to the dressing room in the back of the store. "You stay here and I will bring you some outfits to try on and you boys can go sit on those chairs over there."
They did as they were told, while the store clerk went around the store gathering up a pile of clothes.
"Hinata come out so we can see how the clothes look, okay." Kiba instructed.
A little while later Hinata stepped out of the dressing room wearing a tight fitted spaghetti strap white dress that stopped right above the knees.
"Sssss….oo what do you think?"
There was a moment of silence as all the boys, including Shino, had shocked looked on their faces. Hinata blushed at all the attention.
"HOLY CRAP HINATA! Why didn't you tell us you had a figure like that?" Kiba shouted. Now Hinata was as red as a tomato.
"I think what Kiba is trying to say is, you should get that dress. Now go ahead and try on another outfit." Shino went to cover Kiba's mouth so he wouldn't say anything else. Hinata nodded in understanding and went back into the dressing room.
By the end of the day, the group had gone to multiple shops, and had tons of bags.
"I think we have enough for your wardrobe." Kiba and Akamaru were both struggling with the bags.
"Yes, I think that is enough for today." Shino said. "But none of these clothes will matter unless we do something with your hair."
"What's wrong with my hair?" Hinata grabbed her hair defensively.
"Well no offense but your messy bun look is kind of old lady like, and those glasses aren't helping either." Kiba joked.
"Which reminds me, we need to get you some contacts." Shino mentioned.
"Um, well actually I don't need contacts. You see….I got eye surgery a long time ago I just wear these glasses because I feel incomplete without them." Hinata admitted.
"WHAT!" Kiba and Akamaru sweat dropped.
"You will just have to get use to not having them if you really want this makeover."
"You're right Shino."
The Next Day…
The group was now at the hair salon. Hinata sat on the chair while her friends were off to side.
"Now what look are we looking for?" The hair stylist asked.
Kiba came over. "She doesn't want what is trendy now, she wants to be ahead of the trend."
"Very well. Now lets take out this bun and head over to wash your hair." The stylist led Hinata to the washing station. "You boys go ahead and grab something to eat or something. I will take care of your friend. By the time you come back she will be a new person."
The boys understood and walked out of the salon.
"So tell me, which one of those handsome boys is your boyfriend?" The stylists shampooed.
"Neither. I don't have a boyfriend." Hinata had a giant blush on her face.
"Well I say you should go after that one with the dog. He's really cute." Next was the conditioner.
An even bigger blush was on her face now. "Oh no…they are more like older brothers. I could never see them like that. Besides…..I like someone else."
"Oh do tell."
"Well he's really nice and always makes me laugh. He knows all my secrets and is always there to protect me."
"Wow, he sounds like a great guy." The stylist helped Hinata back to the styling chair.
"He is, except he doesn't even see me as anything more then a friend. That's why I'm doing this makeover. To get his attention."
"I think that is great. You know what you want and you are going for it. Not a lot of girls would do that for a guy. He would be lucky to have you."
"Thank you." Hinata couldn't help but blush.
The stylist did one more final cut and turned the chair to face the mirror. "And with this hair cut he won't be able to do anything but look at you."
Hinata gasped. Her hair looked amazing.
The rest of the week Hinata spent with Shino and Kiba practicing how to walk and talk like a new person. Her cousin Neji, who was staying with her family to be part of some accelerated program at Konoha High, even helped, mainly due to the persistence of his girlfriend Tenten. The two of them were just as shocked by Hinata's transformation as Shino and Kiba were.
Hinata was grateful for Tenten's help. The boys had done a great job helping her with her hair and wardrobe but neither of them knew anything about makeup. Tenten taught her how to apply makeup so that it would look natural and not clown like.
By the end of the week Hinata Hyuga was a completely new person.
It was now Sunday, the last day of summer before school started, and the group of six were in the food court at the mall.
"Alright, now you look absolutely amazing Hinata, but now it is time for the final test. You have the look but do you have the confidence? I want you to walk over to the trash can on the other side of the food court and walk back without blushing." Tenten gave Hinata a serious look.
Hinata looked over to the trash can and saw that she would have to walk passed tons of people. "I….I don't think I can do that."
"Aw come on Hinata. If you can't even throw away your trash without people looking at you, how are you going to be when we have classes tomorrow?" Kiba encouraged.
Hinata knew he was right. If she couldn't do this simple task then there was no way she would be able to get Naruto's attention. "Alright, I'll do it." Hinata stood up suddenly and with a deep breath walked over towards the trashcan.
As Hinata walked, she could feel people's eyes staring at her. She heard some of the people murmuring about who she was. But Hinata knew that if she looked at them then she would blush and run back to the table. Hinata kept her gaze glued to the trashcan. Once she got there she quickly threw everything away and walked back to her friends.
She fell down into her chair with a big sigh, a huge grin was plastered on her face. She looked over at her friends. Kiba gave her a high five. Akamaru barked in agreement and the others nodded in a job well done.
"Good job Hinata. You are now ready to face your senior year. Now Neji and I got to go and catch a movie so we will see you guys later." Tenten gave Hinata a hug and waved bye to the boys before grabbing Neji's hand and heading off.
"You know, for the first time ever, I am actually excited for school tomorrow." Kiba boosted.
"Why's that?" Shino asked.
"Cuz, I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces when they see our little Hinata all grown up and looking smoking hot." Hinata blushed at the compliment.
Shino pushed his glasses back into place. "Yes, it will be quite interesting to see how people will react to you makeover Hinata."
"I just don't know how to repay you two." Akamaru barked. "excuse me, three. None of this could have happened without you guys." Hinata could feel the tears developing.
Kiba started waving his hands in front of him. "No, no don't cry please. I hate when you cry."
Hinata laughed at her friend's panicked expression. "Alright I promise I won't."
"I think now would be a good time to give it to her Kiba." Shino looked over at his friend.
"Give me what?"
"Well, we know why you are going through with this whole makeover thing and we were more then happy to help you out. We four are like family and watch out for one another. So to finish off your look, Shino, Akamaru, and I got you something."
Akamaru then walked over to Hinata and dropped a small black box into her hand.
"What's this?" Hinata gave them a confused look.
"Open it up and find out."
Hinata did what she was told and when she saw what was inside she gasped. Inside the box was the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. It was a crescent moon charm with lavender colored crystals inside it.
Hinata covered her mouth with her hand; there was no way of stopping the tears now.
"Aw man I thought you promised not to cry." Kiba said, a little uneasy.
Hinata ignored his comment and ran over and gave him a huge hug. "Thank you thank you. I love it!" Hinata then gave Shino a hug and patted Akamaru.
"No biggie. Just promise us that you won't tell anyone it was us that helped give you a make over. It would really mess up my image if you know what I mean."
Hinata laughed as she put the necklace on. Now she was absolutely positive she was ready for school tomorrow.
