Sarada roamed around in an art shop in deep concentration contemplating what she should get Inojin.

"SARADA!" Called out ChoCho as she ran towards the preteen with glasses. Sarada jumped up from being ripped from her own world as a familiar voice called out to her.

She saw ChoCho running towards her when she turned around to search for the source of that strong yet sweet voice. Sarada squeaked as she embraced ChoCho in a surprise hug.

"Sarada, wacha doing here?" The tanned girl questioned her wondering what she would be doing in this sort of establishment. "OMG, DID YOU FORGET INOJIN'S BIRTHDAY GIFT?!?" ChoCho half yelled half whispered into the uchiha's ear. Sarada rubbed her ear and nodded embarrassment that she had been caught last minute shopping.

Her cheeks burned as she averted her gaze to the ground.

"I had to ask Boruto what to get him..." It was a silent confession but ChoCho had heard it and smirked.

"So… who do you like more, Inojin or Boruto?" She wasn't asking normal like and they both knew it.Sarada's face was redder than a tomato as she fumbled with her thumbs.

"Um...I-Inojin..." She finally confessed to her bestfriend, who in returned screamed like a child who had ice cream for the first time.

"Heh, looks like someone forgot about your gift" Shikadai smirked and nudged Inojin to face towards the art shop across the mall. They could both see Sarada and ChoCho, the preteen with glasses seemed flustered.

"Wanna go say hi and make things more awkward for them?" Inojin suggested knowing that it would make their afternoon more interesting. Shikadai thought about it for a second before agreeing.

"Sure." It's not like they had anything better to do.

The duo walked towards the art shop.

"Oi, Sarada... ChoCho, how are you guys?" Shikadai started as he shoved his hands in his pockets stopping behind the girls.

"Oh, we're fine, just browsing." ChoCho responded as Sarada walked off searching for a gift.

"I like that one, it seems pretty cool~." Inojin pointed out a 3D pen as he let his whisper out into the quiet atmosphere.

Sarada turned and pushed Inojin for startling her. After she realized who he was she pulled him by the wrist and kicked out of the store.

"Out idiot! It's a surprise present for a reason!" Inojin chuckled nervously and grabbed Shikadai robbing him from his conversation with their 3rd team member.

ChoCho walked back to Sarada who had surprisingly made a purchase in the time she had left her alone.

"So whatcha get him?" Piped up ChoCho pointing at the bag Sarada was holding.

"A 3D pen..." Sarada sighed as she pushed up her glasses, "I just need to wrap it and make a note for him."

"You should make it a love letter" suggested ChoCho making Sarada's face to heat up once more.

"Y-you sure? Do you think he'll feel the same?" Sarada stared at Inojin as he walked away with Shikadai.

"Only one way to find out girl~." ChoCho replied as she stuffed her face with potato chips after opening up a bag she got from who knows where.
