Chapter 2
"Tenten! Would you stop sighing already! It's very annoying!" Sakura screamed at the depressed yet angry Tenten who was again sighing. 'Sigh'
"Tenten! Stop it I said!" Sakura screamed again. She was very annoyed now. She was already gripping her pink upper blouse as to restrain herself from hurting Konoha's weapons mistress, which was Tenten and her best friend.
It was a Friday night and the four kunoichies were having a sleepover at Tenten's. They had planned for this sleepover to be extremely wonderful for the four of them. It was Friday night and it was the only time for them in a week to relax and be away from training. They really did plan this to be a happy sleepover but there was Tenten who was seated in the far corner of her small baby blue-walled room, sighing all the time, making the atmosphere in the room gloomy instead of cheery.
'Sigh' Tenten went sighing again making Sakura grip her blouse harder, almost tearing the thin fabric. "Tenten! For the hundredth time! Quit sighing already! It annoys me so much! We are supposed to be all happy- happy and all smiles tonight! But you are there in the corner ruining the mood by your endless sighing!" Sakura finished as she pointed her index finger at the still sulking Tenten as if accusing Tenten of some hideous crime.
"Sorry...gals….I'm really not in the mood tonight…'Sigh' Just ignore me and continue your happy chat, you three. 'Sigh' " Tenten said.
"I-is s-s-something the m-matter, T-tenten-nechan?" It was Hinata who asked.
"Nothing is wrong" Tenten said as she dropped her head in her hands.
"Now, what do you mean by nothing Tenten? It's obvious that you do have a problem. Just want you to know that we are your friends so do tell." Ino finished saying crossing her arms over her chest.
"Ino is right. What's the matter?" Sakura said as she gave Tenten a friendly touch on the shoulder. Tenten looked at her three best friends and their eyes were telling her to confide her problem to them. "Well, I do have a problem." Tenten started. "It's about Neji and what he said earlier."
"Neji? Did he confess his love to you?" Ino asked her eyes smiling. "No. He said something to me that I'm sure no girl would like to hear." Tenten said with a frown.
"No girl would like to hear? What did he say?" Sakura asked her curiosity and interest growing larger.
Tenten took a deep breath and narrated what Neji said to her. "Neji told me that I'm unattractive, I'm a tomboy and I am someone who can't attract any male species." Tenten finished.
"He said that!" Ino and Sakura exclaimed at the same time. Hinata just stuttered a "What".
"Is that the reason why you're sulking and sighing all the time?" Ino asked Tenten who had dropped her head again in her hands." Mm" was her reply.
"A-anou...T-tenten-nechan…I-I'm s-so sorry f-for w-what N-Neji-nisan said." Hinata apologized to Tenten. "No. It was not your fault Hinata-chan. Neji was just being a jerk and he is really a big jerk!" Tenten said angrily.
"You know Tenten, I think I have a plan." Sakura said, cupping her chin with her thumb and index finger.
"Plan?" Ino, Hinata and Tenten chorused. "Plan for what forehead girl?" Ino asked Sakura. "First of all, Ino-pig! I'm not forehead girl! And secondly, I have a plan on how to prove Neji wrong. Prove to him that Tenten is attractive, not a tomboy and can make any male species drool." Sakura said, her eyes had little dancing flames. Determination in her voice and she raised her fist in the air. The other three girls just sweat dropped.
"I'll let it pass that you called me pig Sakura because you thought of a brilliant plan. Now, how will we prove to Neji that Tenten is beautiful?" Ino asked. She was also very interested in Sakura's plan.
"Yeah…how will we prove it to him?" Tenten asked. She was also getting interested in Sakura's plan. "h-how do w-we p-prove it?" Hinata stuttered interested.
Sakura smiled and cleared her throat. "We'll give Tenten a makeover!" Sakura announced happily. Ino squealed, Hinata smiled while giving a nod to show that she too, agrees to Sakura's plan. As for Tenten, she just stared at Sakura like she was nuts. Her mouth was opened. 'Do they really think that I will let them make me wear a dress, have my hair styled and do other things that will change my appearance just so I can prove to Neji that I am capable of attracting a male! No! They're totally wrong! I'll think of other ways on how to prove Neji wrong. I will never wear a dress and that's final!'
"No way! I'm not having a makeover!" Tenten declared to her three friends who were already planning for Tenten's makeover. They immediately turned their heads to Tenten and said in unison. "You are going to have a makeover and that's final!"
"I said no and no is a no."
"Oh yes you'll have it Tenten-chan! You want to prove to Neji that you are capable of attracting a male right? It's the only way!"
"No"
"Yes!"
"No"
"P-please T-tenten-nechan…" Hinata pleaded giving Tenten a cute puppy-face. Tenten looked at Hinata and she gave out a sigh. Hinata was like a sister to Tenten already. It's just hard to refuse her. "Fine!" 'This might be good anyway……I hope so….'
Ino and Sakura high-fived and Hinata said a thank you. "Now! Let's have a good night sleep and tomorrow we'll start Tenten's makeover!" Ino exclaimed pumping her fist in the air just like how Sakura did earlier. The other three girls nodded, said their goodnights and went to their futons. Tenten went to sleep in her bed.
'I hope everything will be well……………….' Was Tenten's last thought before she fell asleep.
"Must we really do this?" Tenten asked as she tightened her hold on the street post while Sakura and Ino were tugging her other hand. "Yes! We must!" Sakura said as she pulled harder.
"But I don't want to have a makeover!" Tenten whined. "Mou! Tenten! You already agreed to this last night!" Ino said.
"T-tenten- nechan. I-it's gonna b-be okay. Y-you'll look w-wonderful a-after th-this." Hinata said. Tenten moaned and let her friends drag her to the mall.
"You've got to be kidding! That shop is pink!" Tenten exclaimed upon seeing the boutique. "Of course it's pink! It's for girls." Ino said taking Tenten's arm and dragged her inside. Sakura and Hinata right behind them. The boutique's name was 'Ribbons'
When they were inside, Tenten's eyes were wide as saucers. All she could see was skimpy and frilly blouses and miniskirts. Most of them were pink. "I'm not buying in here" Tenten announced preparing to exit the boutique. But Sakura and Ino stopped her.
"Excuse me miss. Do you have something that's more casual?' Sakura asked the lady behind the counter. "Oh yes we do! Please follow me!" the lady said and led them to a section were jeans and shirts were found. 'Hmm…It's not that bad…' Tenten thought while her three friends were looking through the racks of dress.
"T-tenten-nechan. H-how about th-this o-one?" Hinata asked Tenten as she held out her choice. "It's nice Hinata-chan" Tenten smiled.
"Tenten, how about these?" Sakura asked presenting her choices. "They're okay for me Sakura."
"How about these? Are they okay for you?"
"Umm…they're quite okay Ino."
"Miss, how about you try those clothes and see if they fit you well. The dressing room is right over there." The lady who led them there suggested. "Y-yes T-tenten-nechan. Y-you should t-t-try them on." Hinata said handing Tenten the dress she chose. Ino and Sakura also handed Tenten theirs. "Okay" Tenten said and went in the dressing room.
"Hey! I'm coming out so don't laugh!"Tenten said after a few minutes. "We won't laugh at you so come out now!" Sakura said. When Tenten came out, they stared at her for a long time.
"Is it that bad?" She asked them hesitantly. "You look gorgeous Tenten!" Ino screamed. "Wow! You look amazing!" sakura commented smiling. "Y-you l-look w-wonderful Tenten-nechan." Hinata said. "Thanks.."
Tenten tried the other clothes and she looked great on all of them. Finally, she wore one of Ino's choices which was a blue off-shoulder blouse that said 'I'm Lovely' and faded jeans. They bought it and their other choices.
They went to the salon next and had Tenten's silky brown hair layered. They also bought some make-ups for Tenten.
"Wow! It's nice giving Tenten a makeover!" Sakura exclaimed. They were all carrying shopping bags. "Yeah! Let's shop again if we have time!" Ino said.
"Do I really need to wear makeup?" Tenten asked them as they walked together. "Of course you do! Don't worry. You look extremely beautiful!" Ino assured Tenten. "Y-yes T-tenten-nechan. You l-look w-wonderful." Hinata added.
"Hey guys. I'm kinda hungry. Let's eat at Ichiraku." Sakura suggested and her friends agreed. They were all hungry and exhausted from their shopping earlier.
They took a seat and ordered. The new boy working at Ichiraku was obviously flirting with Tenten but she just ignored him. Boys at the place stared at Tenten like she was a superstar and didn't mind their ramens. They were entranced at Tenten's beauty.
"Hey Tenten! Look at those guys. Their eyes are glued on you." Ino commented.
"Yeah. They're drooling. You're the only one they look at! Now I'm almost regretting giving you a makeover. You get all the attention." Sakura said.
Hinata just smiled along with Tenten. "Do I still need to wear this kind of dress and makeup for the next days?" Tenten inquired them. She was still not used to this and she was not used to be stared by males.
"Of course!" Ino and Sakura said at the same time.
When their orders came, they ate while talking and laughing at the same time.
Neji was walking towards the Hyuuga compound. He had just finished training. He was not having a very good day. 'Where the heck is Tenten? Is she still angry for what happened yesterday?' he thought. 'I'll loose my sanity when I continue training with Lee and Gai-sensei. Where is Tenten?' he thought as he continued walking.
He was near Ichiraku when he spotted his Hinata-sama, Ino, Sakura and somone he doesn't recognize. He had to admit that the 'girl' was indeed pretty. Very pretty. 'Who is she?'
The four girls were still having a nice chat when they heard a voice, a very familiar voice behind them.
"Hinata-sama, Haruno-san, Yamanaka-san." Neji said in a monotone. Tenten knew whose voice it was. 'Neji' she thought nervously. Neji was eyeing the pretty girl whose back was facing him.
"Who is your new companion may I know?" He inquired.
'Crap………'
