Okay, another NejiTen Christmas story! First of all, I'd like to give a big thank you to my beta reader MissFaerieKaiti. You seriously rock! Now, I know this chapter is kind of short but it'll get longer as time goes on. I hope to have the full thing actually done by Dec 25. So, that's pretty much all there is for my introduction, other than the standard suggestions, comments and constructive criticism are always welcome! I hope you enjoy and please review.

You know, there's something comforting about dreams. Maybe it's the fact that you really don't have to take what happens in dreams seriously. The Akatsuki can show up and wipe out your entire village, you can become a punching bag for an enemy ninja or Orochimaru can roll by on a unicycle juggling kunai with explosive tags and clown makeup (come on, you knew that joke was coming), it doesn't really matter since it didn't really happen. Let the experts and phsycayatrists debate about the true meaning of dreams or if they really foreshadow any future events, unless you're the protagonist in a cartoon, (preferably one starting with the letters N-a-r and ending with u-t-o, not a whole lot of letter in between) you're probably okay.

Unfortunately, most of the time, you have no idea that you are dreaming. So you can imagine how disappointed Tenten was when her wedding with Neji Hyuga (hey it's not to far fetched) which was to be followed by her being installed as the sixth Hokage (okay so she likes to dream big) and was being catered by that little Pizza joint that closed two years ago (really, really big), was interrupted when another Tenten stepped onto the scene and snapped her fingers. Everything froze.

"Not again," Tenten groaned. The other Tenten nodded in sympathy. "This always happens! We get to the good part and then you have to show up and tell me that it's all a dream."

"Sorry," the other Tenten shrugged. "But this is more important than your little fantasy."

"What could be more important than this?" Tenten groaned motioning to the frozen scene around her.

"Do remember what day it is?" her inner asked.

"December…23?" Tenten asked.

"That was yesterday, it's the 24th now." Her inner explained.

"So?"

"So…are you forgetting anything?"

"Not really. I decorated my apartment, bought holiday themed explosive tags, I sent out Christmas cards along with complimentary kunai, I got presents for everyone…" Tenten began.

"Stop right there!"

"What?"

"You got presents for everyone?"

"Well let me see, Gai Sensei, Temari, Hinata, Lee, Naruto, Ino, Kiba, Sakura that one civilian I accidentally put into the hospital, that ANBU agent I spilled Neji's…GAAH! Neji!" Tenten shouted grabbing her head. "How could I forget?"

"All I know is you'd better get a move on. It's," Inner Tenten looked at her watch "four o'clock right now. The last shop in Konoha closes at midnight on Christmas Eve which would give you about twenty hours."

"Twenty hours!" Tenten shouted. "Darn it!" Inner Tenten snapped her fingers again and Tenten immediately latched her lips onto Neji's, grabbed a slice of Pizza, took a Kunai out of her wedding dress and stabbed at her heart. Immediately, Tenten jerked up out of bed and looked at her hand hoping to see the piece of pizza. Upon seeing it empty she sighed. "I always hope that trick will work," she muttered as she started to get dressed.

5:00 A.M

"Naruto! Kiba!" Tenten shouted to the two who were setting up a stall on the side of one of the Konoha many business streets.

"Oh hey Tenten!" Kiba greeted.

"I need…uh what are you guys doing?" she asked staring at there stall.

"Selling snow cones!" Naruto declared boldly giving a thumbs up in the middle of Konoha's snowy scene where the thermometer was at a blistering negative fifteen degrees, but hey! The duo had come a long way from their earlier business venture.

Flashback

"Man! Selling toothbrushes to the elderly!" Naruto exclaimed "This is our best idea ever!"

"Yeah," Kiba agreed "Just think of all the money we can save by not including the bristles!"

"And if we don't have any bristles, who needs handles to hold them!" Naruto smiled manically "We can just sell empty cases!"

End of Flashback

"Oookay," Tenten said awkwardly.

"So what brings you out here?" Naruto asked.

"Long story! I just had to ask you something! What would you get a significant other for Christmas?" Tenten blurted out. The two traded glances.

"A significant other?" the both asked simultaneously. "Uhhhhhhhhhhh…"

"Okay, let me try to rephrase that," Tenten said. "What would you get your girlfriend for Christmas?"

"Ramen!"

"Dog shampoo!"

"Makeup?"

"Hair products?"

"A Pony?"

"A Pony Naruto?" Kiba asked staring at his friend like he was brain dead. "What are you? Six?"

"Well! Looks like someone's getting coal in there stocking this year!" Naruto said in his offended voice before walking off. Kiba shook his head watching him go.

"I got nothing," he shrugged turning back towards Tenten.

"Alright, thank anyways," Tenten said preparing to move out.

"Tenten wait!" Kiba called after her.

"What?"

"Snow cone?"

Well, how was it? :D I hope you enjoyed, please review and I'll see you next time.
