Authors note: Here is another story, I know it's been a while but I'm back. So here you go.
The Dentist
oooooooooo
"SHIKARI NARA LET'S GO,NOW"
Today Temari was taking the kids to the dentist. Before they started the academy the kids had to go get check ups. Shikadai was a little scared but he couldn't show it because he didn't want to be labeled a crybaby by his mom.
Temari came downstairs dragging the 8 year old by her ear.
"We are late already, so let's hurry"
"Late is late mom, you might as well reschedule"
"Shikadai, who do you think you're talking to, I know what late is. I rescheduled three times already and today we are going. You are not getting out of this again" She grabbed both of them by the wrist and dragged them down the street.
oooooooooo
Shikamaru was talking to Naruto outside of Konoha's library about the new class that would be starting at the academy in less than a year
"They grow up so fast"
"I know, they start the academy in a couple of months"
"It doesn't feel like that long ago when we were in there"
"I feel the same way-"
Across the street both of them heard yelling and knew it was without looking.
"MOM, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME GO"
"THERE IS NO POINT OF COMPLAINING, THE QUICKER WE GET THERE, THE FASTER IT WOULD BE OVER"
"What a drag, I better go help her"
"See ya Shikamaru"
"Bye Naruto"
He went over and seen his daughter shaking and trembling with fear.
"So, What's with the screaming"
"You're daughter doesn't want to go to the dentist, neither does he, but he's not yelling down the street"
She gave a terrifying look to her daughter which made her more scared of her mom than of the dentist for the time being. Shikamaru wanted to calm them down so he thought of something naturally.
"How about this, after the dentist we all go out to dinner"
"Really"
"Yea really, now let's hurry up"
At the dentist, Shikadai went first because he lost a game of Rock Paper Scissors. Once he got in, the only thing they did was clean his teeth which he actually liked.
"You're teeth is perfect. Now you get to take home a toothbrush and toothpaste of your choice"
He choose the green toothbrush and went back to the lobby went the dentist.
"Shikari, are you ready"
"No"
"I promise It will not be bad, now come on"
She headed in the room with the lady and was told to sit in the chair. The lady checked her teeth and Shikari noticed she had an uncertain look. "Well we have some good news, no cavities. So sit here while I tell your parents."
"Okay"
Temari was reading a magazine while her husband and son talked to each other.
"Hello Temari-San, Shikari is all done getting her teeth cleaned"
"Where is she"
"She's still in the room. I came because I have something to tell you"
"What is it"
"She needs braces. I did some x-rays and it shows that she has an underbite, it's not the worse but it's also not the best"
"So when can you do it"
"You guys are the last people and everything is pretty much set up from your last visit. So today would be good"
Temari looked at Shikamaru, she knew her daughter wasn't going to like this.
"You have to tell her, Shika"
"What. Why can't you tell her"
"Because I said you're going to tell her. Let's go Shikadai. We'll be at home"
"What a drag"
He walked into the room and saw her still sitting in the chair.
"So how did it go"
"She said I don't have cavities"
"That's great"
"Can we go now, this chair is troublesome"
"Actually kiddo, you have to get braces"
The only thing that was suppose to happen was a check-up. She didn't expect this and this surprise was one she hated. She begged her dad to let her leave, but he wouldn't budge.
"No No No, please daddy"
When she pouted, she usually got what she wanted, but she rarely did it. This made him even more prone to give in.'I hate it when she does that. But this will be better in the long run'.
"I'll be here the whole time, so there's nothing to worry about. And afterwards we can still go out to eat"
"You promise"
"Yes"
She sat in the chair and allowed for the dentist to put on her braces. It hurt, but not as much as she anticipated. When she finished, her mouth was sore and hurt tremendously.
oooooooooo
"Smile"
"I don't want to"
"Come on, just let me see them"
"Fine" She did a quick smile and stared at the ground while she walked home.
"What's wrong"
"Dai didn't have to get braces"
"He didn't need them"
"It's still not fair"
'Dammit, sometimes she act like Temari. She's angry too which means it's my fault for whatever the problem is. They are just troublesome'
"Ri, please talk to me. I feel hurt when you shut me out"
"Well no one I know has braces. I just don't want people to make fun of me."
"I think they're cool. And if someone says something tell me and I'll handle it. Deal"
"Deal"
"Now, Let's go get your mom and brother. I'm starving"
