Megami: *Shreiking* We're horrible people! We should be shot!

Ukime: Why this time?

Neji:...This time?

Megami: *in hysterics* We haven't updated in forever they probably hate us!

Gaara: Calm down...Your scaring Latvia.

Ukime: Yeah, we haven't updated in a while... *spaces out*

Neji:...Bitch pills and Advil don't go well together, do they, Pot Head?

Ukime: Mmmmm... ^_^ and it's not pot... It's happiness.. *drooling slightly*

Megami: *running in circles*

Gaara: *pulls out straight jacket* Don't make me use this...

Megami: O.O...

Neji:...What is wrong with them? One is ADHD and the other is just... Drooling? Hopefully they're not like this in the chapter...

Megami: I acctually have ADHD. And we're not in the chapter foo. We aren't Ino and Tenten. They are seperate entities.

Gaara: Ukime is drooling on you...*points*

Neji:...*pushes Ukime slightly* You have to wake up now...

Ukime: I'm awake, you moroooooooonnnnnnn. Iakmfajv ge ajfn GAH!

Gaara: Was that supposed to be a disclaimer?

Megami: Don't hate us!

Gaara: *holding straight jacket* Megami look at me.

Megami: No! *hides behind Ukime and Neji*

Neji: We are not owned by these... Females. But, they do own this story.

Gaara:...Skillful way of putting it. Enjoy the story while we calm down/wake up said females.

Chapter 16-Sharpest Bulb In The Box

As they all ate, except Neji, no one said anything. Except when Ino mmmed. Gaara and Neji were both thinking about the dates they needed to work out. While Tenten and Ino finished, having spent their sweet time savoring the food. After a while they left and were walking back to class.

"You need a dress." She said randomly to Tenten.

"No I dont." Tenten said.

"You do! Fancy dates and all, you never know when one will pop up!" Ino smiled exuberantly.

"Okay, so what about it?" Tenten shrugged.

"We're going shopping. I'll see you in English." She said to Tenten, kissed Gaara's cheek, and ran off to the admin building.

"Is she doing what I think she's doing?" Tenten asked worriedly.

"Yes." Gaara said and walked forward with Neji. Tenten paled and ran after Ino shouting her name.

"Yes, I want a day pass for this Saturday. Shopping." Ino said sitting across from Tsunade. Tenten sat beside her sulking. Tsunade nodded and wrote out a pass in her scrawling script.

"Done. Two less brats to worry about on Saturday." She said as she signed it. After they walked out Ino stuck the pass in her bra, where Tenten wouldn't think to go after it.

"Why does she call us brats?" Tenten asked, knowing Ino would know.

"Cause, she calls all kids brats. She's just bitter cause she lost a child a few years ago, it's why we're 'brats'. She'll be fine though." Ino said.

"Ya know it always amazes me how you know this stuff even though I know your abilities.

"Yeah I know. C'mon we got English next." Ino said and dragged Tenten to the class they were already quite late too.

'Shopping? I hate shopping... Why do we have to go shopping?' Tenten thought, grumbling.

"Okay seriously... Shut up, you're giving me a headache." Ino said, turning her blue eyes on Tenten. Tenten flushed, forgetting about Ino's abilities.

"Right, sorry." She said. "But why do we have to go shopping?"

"Because Neji's bringing you to a fancy schmancy restaurant where you can't dress like a boy." Tenten looked down self consciously.

"I don't dress like a boy... Do I?" She asked, taking into account her jeans and converse.

"No, just not fancy." Ino said as they took their seats. Iruka began teaching moments later, but it was only a review on things the girls already knew, so they drew and passed notes instead.

"What about red? You'd look hot in red." Ino commented, referring to a dress color. Tenten looked at her fingers.

"I'm not so sure." She said, referring to the time a boy had thrown a shoe at her when she was wearing her favorite RED shirt. Of course, the boy was only five and he was autistic... Hmm... "I have a bad feeling about red."

"Ooh ooh ooh!" Ino said like Tenten couldn't hear her. "What about midnight blue? That's a good color."

"I just... I don't know."

"Midnight blue it is, then. If you're not deciding, I'll decide for you. Now, long, medium, or short?"

"Long."

"No, medium. It's not trashy, and it's not Titanic. It's right in the middle."

"Trashy? Titanic?" Tenten asked, not really sure what she meant.

"If it's too short, you'll be trashy. If it's too long, you'll remind me of that girl on Titanic." Ino said. Tenten nodded.

"Medium it is, I guess." Ino clapped and wrote something down. "What are you writing?"

"All of the details. Medium. Color is undecided. Probably midnight blue, unless I see something better." Tenten shrugged, knowing she had no control over the situation anyway.

"Now, what about shoes?"

"Flats." Tenten said instantly. Ino raised her eyebrow.

"Why not heels? Going to a fancy restaurant in flats?"

"I have no coordination. I will break my ankle in heels." Tenten said.

"We'll see." Ino glared playfully. Tenten groaned and looked at Iruka, who was talking about Romeo and Juliet. Tenten leaned on her fist, only paying half attention as Ino wrote and scribbled continuously.

Gaara watched Konan pace and lecture. She was ignoring Neji and Gaara passing notes in the back, probably cause of how Ino had helped her the other day. She busted anyone else though. Matsuri lurked in the corner glancing up and scribbling, glancing and scribbling. It was never ending. Neji wrote that he suspected she was killing Ino and Tenten in a drawing. Gaara nodded that she probably was. Konan walked over and took the notebook from Matsuri, took the pens and gave her a piece of paper.

"Today's notes. Pay attention." She said and walked back to the front. Gaara and Neji snickered. Matsuri pouted the rest of class and almost fell asleep before Konan whipped the desk with a ruler.

"Apperently this school isn't adverse to using arcane methods." Neji whispered as Matsuri stared fearfully at the broken ruler.

"Of course they gotta keep us in line somehow." Gaara shrugged. Neji nodded in agreement.

"True." He said and watched Konan again. After a little while and three broken rulers later class was let out. Ino and Tenten lounged against the wall outside. Ino was snirkering and muttering to Tenten about something. No doubt it was about Matsuri and the ruler. As Matsuri acctually walked out Ino draped her arms around Gaara and kissed his cheek. Neji put his arm around Tenten, making said girl blush and Matsuri glare.

"How is it neither of you have fanboys?" Neji asked as they lounged in the girls room doing homework.

"We just haven't caught anyone's eye yet." Ino shrugged chewing her pencil.

"Why do you care." Tenten asked using her pen to point and accidently flinging it at Neji. He caught the pen and shrugged.

"Just asking. Both of you are obviously attractive. Ino is a rare beauty being she is blond and blue. You aren't plain but your not expressly beautiful...to anyone else..." Neji trailed off.

"Neji means to him your gorgeous!" Ino teased noting Neji's small, almost not there blush. Tenten's was noticible.

"Well. On to something else." She said pushing her bio notes toward Ino. "Help me with this." She said and pointed. Ino smirked and shook her head but helped anyway.

Gaara leaned over to Neji while the girls did their bio.

"Smooth." He said, letting the 'o' linger. Neji nodded, his eyes closing slightly.

"What the Hell is a polyblahblah?"

"Polyunsaturated, Tenten. Polyunsaturated..." Ino said, sighing. "You're quite the brainiac."

"Shut up, Ino." Tenten said, pulling her biology notebook away from the blonde.

"Not the sharpest lightbulb in the box, is she?" Gaara said, looking at the brunette.

"That wasn't funny, I hope you know, saying lightbulb instead of pencil." Neji commented.

"I thought it was." Neji sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Well it wasn't." Gaara made a strange face and turned back to Ino.

"Gaara, you bitch. I heard that." Tenten said, glaring. Ino raised a blonde eyebrow and looked at Gaara.

"What? I didn't do a thing." Gaara said innocently.

"You-" Neji sighed and covered her mouth with his hand.

"You'll win the battle, but you'll lose the war in the long run. It's not worth it." Neji said with a tired expression. Tenten shrugged his hand away and glared at Gaara again.

"Fine..." She said, shutting her bio notebook and placing it on her lap. Ino shot up instantly, a strange expression on her face.

"Tenten, we have a pass, we need to go." She said, grabbing the brunette's hand and yanking her to her feet.

"Right now?" Tenten asked, her shoulders sagging. Ino nodded.

"We have a set amount of time. We must flee!" She shouted, turning heads and making a few eyebrows knit, including Neji's. Gaara raised an area and looked at the girls.

"Flee? Flee to where?"

"Nowhere, mister." Ino said excitedly. Tenten groaned, dropping her head.

"See you later, I guess." She said, turning around and walking away slowly.

"Tenten! Hurry up!" Ino shouted, walking on the brunette's heels. "You walk slower than my great grandfather, and he's dead!" Ino pulled a ruler out of her back pocket and began smacking Tenten with it.

"Ino, stop it!" Tenten shouted, breaking out into a run. Ino followed her, spanking the poor brunette and laughing evily. Gaara cleared his throat and the boys looked at each other.

"Well that was awkward." Neji said quietly. Gaara nodded, not sure of what to say. Neji stood up. "I have places I need to be. I'll see you later. Try to sleep or something, you look like Hell."

"Try to eat or something, you look manorexic." Gaara commented back. Neji grumbled and continued on his way.

Ukime: *braiding Neji's hair* You know, your hair is softer than mine... It's really not fair.

Megami: *sitting on Gaara wearing a panda hat* Look what I found in Gaara's closet! Dd we explain the panda penguin thing to our readers yet?

Gaara: Please don't...

Ukime: We haven't! Well... Gaara is a panda because pandas are easier to shop for than prairie dogs! Also, he reminds me of one. Look at him! *points obnoxiously*

Megami: *pats Gaara.* Neji is a penguin cause he is a bird that can't fly! And he seems penguiny.

Neji: How do I seem penguiny? And that's not even a word.

Ukime: Cause you're very black and white! Get it? XD

Megami: *lauging* That is why! Don't argue with our logic anyway. You'l never win!

Gaara: T.T I've tried...

Megami: Muhahahaahahahaahaaha

Ukime: *YAAAAAAWWWWNNNNN* Anyway, it's like midnight, so you should review! Cause I'm tired and I want nice dreams about happiness and love!

Neji: And the souls of dead babies...

Ukime:... what?

Megami: *lays on Gaara* Goodnight!

Gaara: Yes Dead baby souls.

Megami: *ties scarf around Gaara's mouth* No talking pillows!

Neji: So review. Ukime, I felt that. Stop poking my head and pretending you didn't...

Ukime: Me? I didn't do anything. I don't know what you're talking about, crazy.

Megami: *sleepily* It was Nuna's bunny...I seeded him...

Neji:...*shiver*
