Chapter 3: Temari

I awoke the next morning with two excited girls staring straight at me…you’d think they were stalkers that stole my panties or something…Wow, that was weird. I’m just disoriented in the morning I guess. “Hey, what are you—”

“So what is it going to be Temari? Huh huh huh huh??!”

“Uh…jeez, Ino let me WAKE UP FIRST!” Man she’s annoying…Ino was still staring at me all happy and everything. Alright, she’s annoying andcreepy. After thinking about it, there was only one thing to do. “Well…I guess I’ll go…BUT ONLY THIS ONE TIME!”

“YAY!!! TEMARI YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE! I PROMISE!” For a second I thought Sakura was going to pass out. She’s really loud…and jumping around like that…how do you find the energy in the morning like that? Surely it was around 5AM…

“What time is it?” I asked.

“Oh we thought you would never wake up. We waited and waited and waited and wait—”

“Ok I get it. What time is it?!”

“1:45PM,” Ino said…obviously not wanting me to yell at her. “But today we are going shopping for dresses!”

“Dresses? I thought it was just going to be a date to the movies or something…” I’m guessing I either thought wrong, or they didn’t know what to wear for a little date.

“The movies? Are you kidding? You’re going to a fancy restaurant. Eating dinner in candlelight, little kisses on the hand, expensive drinks and food…AWW! HOW ROMANTIC!” What was Ino talking about? I hardly have any money.

“Who are you expecting to pay for all of this?!”

”Oh don’t worry,” Sakura started. “Ino and I have you covered. We are paying for absolutely EVERYTHING!”

“Aww. Thanks you two…but it would be better to know who my date was so that I could estimate how much everything is to pay you back for it…”

“Don’t worry about it Temari. You don’t have to pay a penny back to us,” Ino told me. Cool. This is better than I thought. Free fancy dinner. That is what I am talking about. “We are giving the money to your date so he can pay for you guys while you’re there.” Sounds like they have it all figured out then; nothing for me to worry about.

For once, I was happy to go on this blind date. I keep thinking about a certain ninja I knew before, but nothing will stop me from trying to get the spiky haired, pineapple head, shadow ninja out of my head. “Awesome. Let’s go shopping.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While we were shopping, I thought I heard a noisy complaint about how hot it was outside: reminding me of that lazy punk. I shook my head, as if trying to get him to escape from my mind. Walking to the store was a good reason to get out of the indoors. When I’m outside, I feel more comfortable, more open. I can’t really explain it, but I like how it feels.

“Here we are, Temari. This is where we are going to find that one dress that makes everyone say ‘wow’!” Ino seemed so excited for me. Like she somehow KNEW I was going to love my date. It better not be that dog boy Kiba…although…he would look rather fetching in a tuxedo, if I do say so myself. Haha! Fetching! Get it!? HAHAHA!! WHEW! I kill myself. I must have been laughing out loud or something because Sakura and Ino looked at me like I was retarded, but I shrugged it off.

“I like this one,” Sakura said when we were in the store. It was a pretty light sea-green color and ruffled at the bottom. It looked nice, but when I tried it on, it wasn’t me.

Another dress was baby blue. Looked like something you’d get married in…not go on a dinner date in. Ino made me try it on anyway. Ugh. I knew I’d look hideous in it.

Sakura enthusiastically grabbed a pastel purple dress that went down to the floor. It was sleeveless and the back was open with thick laces attaching either side to the other. Pretty simple. “Temari,” Sakura’s emerald eyes were sparkling because of the bright lights in the fitting room. “This is the one. Try it on.”

I tried on the dress and stepped out of the tiny room with no shoes on and the plain purple dress fitting perfectly to my sides. “That one is gorgeous, Temari!” Ino looked like she was in awe, as did Sakura. But when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see a beautiful girl. I saw a plain girl with a plain dress that looked no better than ordinary; nothing special.

“Temari…” Gah. Sakura…what now? “Do you not like that one?”

“Well…Don’t you think it’s a bit plain?”

“This dress makes you look absolutely beautiful. We’re getting it weather you like it or not.” Ino and her determined look made it so I couldn’t refuse. When I went to walk back into the fitting room, a boy looking no older than sixteen whistled at me, causing me to give a dirty look and hurry to shut the door to the compact room. After changing back into my black robe and retying my obi, we headed to the cash register and we ended up buying the dress.

Heading back to the apartment, I began thinking about what would happen tonight on this “perfect” blind date.
