A/N: Well then. Wow. Ten reviews came by quicker. To be honest, I was expecting to reach the ten review mark sometime in 2014 . This is the following installment! It's a bit shorter, but that's okay.
Thanks to everyone reading this fanfic :)
Disclaimer: I do not own. Nejiten would be canon if I did.

"Mmm..." she turned in her bed, stretching. She pressed 'Snooze' on her alarm and drowsily yawned. She relished the warmth of her covers, and snuggled into her pillow further. It was lazy Saturdays like this that she looked forward to. Until her alarm went off again.
"Uh," she moaned, shutting off the device, making her way into the kitchen to make some breakfast. "That was one of the most refreshing night's sleep I've ever had in months! What was in that wine?"
Then she paused, mid step. She remembered her charming date, and hiccuped happily. "And that man, mmm! Hyuuga Neji. How sexy."
Grabbing an apron, she looked down at her attire, and noticed that she was in a pair of boy shorts and an oversized shirt. She tied the pink cloth around her waist and headed over to her fridge. "I'm craving pancakes and eggs..."
Two cups of instant pancake mix and a cracked egg later, she was full. Heading back into her bedroom, she saw her cellphone. "Hm, two messages."
The first was from Ino. It said, "HEY HEY GURRL! Waht happened to u and hyuuga last nite? Txt me back!"
Tenten lifted the iPhone up to her fingers and typed, "Nothin happened relax he just drove me home. Wat bout u and Shika? ;)"
She then checked the other text. It was from him. "Gotta talk. Meet me at the coffee joint across King Street at noon."
'Well. That was... Interesting. I guess he really likes me if he wants to see me so suddenly,' thought Tenten. She replied, "Ok, meet u there later."
Checking the time, she rummaged through her closet. "I only have an hour to get ready! Damn!"

His feet tapped impatiently on the floor as he sat at the window of the cafe. In his hands were a couple if documents and a certificate. He twiddled with the corners of the sheets nervously as he waited for her to arrive. 11:49 AM.
Two minutes later, the brunette opened the door, smiling at him brightly. "Hi Neji!"
Clad in a simple white and turquoise striped sweater and maroon jeans, black sneakers on her feet, the girl was much less dressed up than the previous night. She wasn't wearing makeup, which made her natural glow brighter than before, and he liked it. Her hair was clear of barrettes and hair clips and headbands, and it was messy, but neat.
He himself though, was in blue jeans and an everyday red Aeropostale long sleeve with the sleeves pushed up. The silver necklace symbolising his rank as a branch member hung around his neck, and his hair was in a high ponytail.
"Hi," he said, gesturing to the empty seat in front of him. She sat, saying, "what did you want to talk to me about?"
He sighed. She really didn't know. Retracting his hand from the papers, he placed them back into a folder, and stood, helping her up. "Let's order some coffee first."
She took his hand, and they went to the nearest cashier. The girl's jaw rotated as the gum in her jaws made a smacking sound. "How may I help ya?"
Neji said, "black coffee, a bagel, and..."
"A French Vanilla and a blueberry muffin, if you please." Tenten finished, looking and feeling satisfied with her choice.
"Kay, s'that all?"
"Yes please."
She looked them up and down, eyes calculating. Flipping her long pinkish-red hair out of the way, she went around to get their order. It was a slow day.
After receiving the snacks, the two departed from the store, and had decided to talk about it somewhere more private, like the park or the forest.
On the sidewalk of the park, they relished in the sweet silence as they sipped their hot coffees and nibbled on their breads. Tenten's muffin was gone by the time they reached the part of the park with a playing area for children. She threw the wrapper out into the trash can nearby. "So Neji," sitting on a swing, she asked, "what were you going to say to me?"
Tossing the paper cup and paper bag into a recycling chute beside the trash can, he pulled out the folder once again. "This is what I was going to talk about."
"Hm..." she sipped the sweet warm liquid of her coffee again, "what is it?"
He handed her a gold trimmed certificate with both their names on it. Her coffee fell as she read.
"As of today, Febuary 14th, Hyuuga Neji and Tenten are lawfully... What?" she looked up, as he sat onto the other swing beside her, chains creaking as he did. "What is this, Neji? Is it some kind of joke? A prank or something? Because its not funny."
"Tenten..."
"No!" She stood up, "Ino! She put you up to this! Or, no! You just wanna mess with me! I'm on one of those hidden camera shows!" She stood up.
"Tenten." he said firmly.
"Any second now," she was close to tears now, because she knew exactly what was happening, and that this was all true, "a cameraman and a TV host is gonna jump out of those trees and... And..."
Neji caught her before she could fall to her knees, and he held her up to him.
"Tenten. This isn't just hard on you, this is rough on me too. Whatever we did last night... That Egyptian thing... We will find a way out of it."
Her eyes were moist with tears as she looked up at him. "You better be right about that, Hyuuga." She got off him, standing on her own two feet once again.
"You know, you shouldn't call me Hyuuga. That's your name now too, you know."
