Isa: I forgot to mention last chapter that I think this story came from the Menma episodes

Naruto: It does seem a little similar at the beginning I guess.

Isa: I'm not totally sure, I just know I was like half asleep and I got the idea, and it was a day or so after watching the Menma episodes.

Naruto:Hmm

Isa: I don't own Naruto . . .

*Both sit quietly thinking*

Naruto and Tobi walked out of the hospital into the bright sunlight.

"You know, I just can' think of you as a girl." Naruto said.

"Good." She stretched and looked around. "Don't tell anyone else I'm a girl."

"Um, okay." Tobi was shocked that he didn't ask why, but Naruto didn't seem to care much, so long as he was happy.

They wandered around the village, with Naruto getting excited about the different types f foods and some of the little trinkets that merchants were selling in the market. Tobi laughed at his childishness and decided that he wasn't so bad, even though he did wake her up her up way too early.

"Tobi, look at that!" He rushed over to a little store that had stands of Valentine's Day chocolates out for passersby to peruse.

"Oh look it's Naruto." Shikamaru said. He was with Chouji and Ino, browsing inside the shop. "Who's that kid he's got with him?"

"I don't know, I've never seen him before." Chouji said, digging in a stack of heart-shaped chocolates that he had bought for himself.

"Who?" Ino looked over and saw Tobi. She took in her light-brown hair, dark-golden eyes,duct-taped clothes, and pierced ears. "Oh my gosh, he's cute!"

"What?" Both Shikamaru's and Chouji's jaws dropped. You don't just say that!

"Come on, let's go talk to them!" She grabbed their hands and pulled them over to Naruto. "Hey Naruto, who's your friend?"

"Oh, hi guys. This is Tobi. I'm giving him a tour of the Leaf Village."

"Hello." Tobi smiled at them.

Ino grabbed Naruto and tugged him a few aisles away. "Naruto, where'd you find that guy? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"No, but . . . um, Ino, I don't think he'd be interested in you."

"What are you saying, you jerk?!" She tugged on his ear, making his eyes water.

"Ah! Ow! Stop it! I just don't think he'd be interested in you!"

"Well why not?!" She let go of Naruto's ear and glared at him. "It's not like you would know, anyway! How long have you known hi, like a day?"

"A few hours, maybe." Naruto said, rubbing his ear.

"Well, then you don't know if he'd like me or not!"

"I've just got a hunch . . . " Naruto grumbled. I don't think that Tobi likes girls, even if she likes people to think that she's a guy, but then again, I have only known her for a few hours.

"I know! We'll have a party!" Ino had obviously just been ranting about something.

"A party?"

"Yeah, we can invite everyone and that way he can spend more time with me!" Ino started daydreaming about something. She quickly snapped out of it. "It'll be at your house at eight!" She started shoving him toward the door where the other three were waiting.

"What? My house? Why's it at my house?!"

"What's at your house?" Chouji asked.

"A party, and you guys are in charge of getting ready for it!" Ino said. "I'm going to go invite everyone else." She started to run down the street. "Make sure you get enough snacks for everyone!"

"We have to help Naruto clean his house?" Chouji stared after her. "We're doomed!"

"What a drag."

Isa: Earlier, I accidentally had Kiba instead of Shikamaru in here^^". I was wondering how the heck Shikamaru came into the story before I realized I had the wrong name^^

Naruto: Why's Shikamaru always in your stories? It's always him and Gaara.

Isa: 'cause I like them^^ This story was actually going to have Gaara in it but I decided to just keep it to the Leaf Village shinobi--and Tobi, of course

Naruto: I'm never the main character!! T.T

Isa: Cheer up! I got an idea for a story last night that's about you.

Naruto: Yay!! ^^
