Chapter One:

Hinata:

I sat beside Sakura in the salon, both of us getting our hair and nails done for Sakura's engagement. She had dragged me off to the salon to have some "girl time", as she put it.

Her face was dewy fresh, cheeks that adorable shade of pink, green eyes shining, in short, she looked like a beautiful, young lady that had just been proposed to by the lover of her life, which was, of course, what she was.

I smiled at Sakura as she talked about her plans for the wedding, what she wanted the theme to be, who she would invite, and, most importantly, what her dress was going to look like.

I was so happy for her, glad to see her dreams coming true. Her happiness was contagious and I laughed along with her.

She turned around and stared at me."So, Hinata would you be my maid-of-honour?"

I started, and looked at Sakura. "A-are you sure?"

Her green eyes held my lavender ones unwaveringly.

I gave her the best answer I could, a high pitched girly scream that she joined in shortly after.

"Gahh!" I squealed, "Thank-you! I'm so excited for your wedding!"

Sakura squealed right back, "I know, I am too! I can't believe I'm getting married to Sasuke! Soon I'll be Uchiha Sakura!"

We both sighed dreamily and relaxed into our armchairs.

The manicurists sighed, "Girls these days."

After our hair and nails were finished we decided to go to a coffee shop, us both having a 'healthy' obsession with caramel mocha's, to talk about her wedding.

We ordered our drinks and sat down in a booth near the back.

I took a sip, relaxing into the warmth, "So when's the wedding."

Sakura sighed dreamily, as she always did when she thought of her wedding, "It's going to be in the Spring, when the Cherry trees are in full bloom."

"That's going to be beautiful," I commented, "Who's coming?"

Sakura shook herself out of the daydream she was getting sucked into, "Sasuke and our's families, Naruto's family, your family, Ino and Shikamaru's family, Temari's family, TenTen's family, Choji's family, Lee and Might Guy, Tsunade, Shizune, and..." Sakura trailed off, blushing, "It's not really a big wedding as you can see, just family and friends."

I smiled, "And those weddings are the best weddings; you only need those people to come."

Sakura smiled, "Thanks Hinata."

I grinned, "That's what best friends are for, now what's the theme?"

"I was thinking since the wedding is in Spring, why not make the theme Spring themed?" Sakura's eyebrows furrowed, "Do you think that's OK? Is that a good theme?"

I nodded my assent. A Spring themed wedding in the Spring, if done correctly, would be beautiful. Everything about it would be colourful, cheerful, and uplifting, and it would also bring out Sakura herself, drawing more focus on the type of person she was .

Sakura smiled, relieved, and then grinned girlishly, "Do you want to-"

"Go dress shopping with you, " I finished for her, " YES!"

We squealed again, earning glares from nearby customers but we couldn't help it. We were girls, best friends, and one of us was getting married. Of course the romance would get to us! It was just so cute! Kawaii!

"Hm, this looks cute. Let's go in here!" Sakura said as she studied a small, cute little boutique on the corner of the street. It was a neat little store, refreshingly pastel coloured, and had a vintage feel to it.

As we walked in a bell rung and an old, kind looking women came out.

"Good afternoon sweeties, how may I help you." Her gray hair was pulled in a loose bun, and her hazel eyes twinkled as she smiled.

Sakura and I smiled at her, Sakura blushing as she told the young women she was getting married and was looking for a dress.

The kind women clapped her hands, delighted, "I remember that feeling, darling. Do you have any type of dress in mind?"

Sakura tapped her chin, "I don't want anything poofy or too big so ball gowns are out. I want something lacy and form fitting, maybe a mermaid dress? But this is only for the informal ceremony, I'll be wearing a kimono when I go to the temple."

The women smiled, and nodded in understanding, before leading us to a to a fitting room, asking us to sit there and wait while she brought out some dresses for Sakura.

"She seems like such a nice woman," I said.

Sakura nodded, "I know, she's the perfect picture for nice grandmas."

We both giggled at that.

The women soon came back, struggling to carry a pile of white and pink.

We jumped up to help her, setting down several dresses.

"They're so many!" Sakura gasped.

The women waved her hands, "No, no, there were so many choices, I just brought out a few."

I grinned, picking out a dress and giving it to Sakura. "Go try this on, " I told her, pushing her towards the first door.

The bell rang again and the women gave me a smile before she left to see the new customer.

I read a magazine waiting for Sakura, but put it down when I heard her come out.

I gasped when I saw her, mouth dropping open. She looked beautiful.

The dress was empire waist inspired with an A-line princess v-neck, scallop edged square short sleeved, laced dress. It was pure white, since Sakura and Sasuke wanted the wedding to be more traditional, even if it was in the informal part.

Sakura smiled nervously when she saw my reaction.

"What do you think?" She asked as she spun around, looking at herself in the full length mirror.

"I think it's perfect," I breathed out, smiling.

Sakura smiled, "Really because after this dress I don't want to try another."

I grinned, "This is the one."

We locked eyes and squealed together, hugging each other.

"I'm guessing that's the dress, then?" We turned around and saw the smiling, old women.

Sakura nodded, smiling excitedly, "It's beautiful."

"Sasuke will be breath taken."

Sakura sighed dreamily, "You think?"

The old woman and I nodded vigorously.

Sakura grinned and gave another twirl. "Great, I'll quickly change and come out."

When she came out the woman looked inquisitively at her. "Do you have your kimono picked out, dear?"

Sakura smiled sunnily, "Yes, I'll be wearing my mom's. I love the colour, and it'll make my mom happy."

The old woman smiled kindly, "That's very inspiring of you, honey. I wish you all the best towards your future happiness."

Sakura blushed, "Thank-you."

As Sakura and I walked back to my car, mocha's in hand, and Sakura's dress in another, Sakura sighed.

I glanced sideways at her, "What's the matter Sakura."

Sakura sipped her mocha thoughtfully, "It's just that I can't believe I'm getting married."

I smiled, "It's normal to be nervous."

She shook her head, "No, I just can't believe that I'm going to be with the love of my life forever."

"You're one of the lucky ones."

"Yeah, I know that, "she grinned, "I could be like you."

I nodded, "Yes, exactly-wait-what? What's that supposed to mean?"

Sakura shook her hands, laughing, "Just kidding Hina-chan! Besides I know you're saving yourself for Naruto!"

I stopped and spun around, staring at her incredulously, "Saving myself for who?"

Sakura shook her head nervously, "No one!"

I took another sip out of my mocha, still suspicious, "Hmm..okay."

Sakura wiped her forehead comically as Hinata walked to the drivers seat, "Phew, that was close. She almost found out that I was setting her up with Naruto!"

She grinned as she got into the car, speaking under her breath, "By the time my wedding rolls around they're going to be a couple, I swear."
