A/N: Well, I have finally reached the end of my first fanfiction. I love it! I thank you once again for all the reviews!
Thank You!
By the way, I'm not telling you what's happening here, but it's quite obvious.

Chapter 12 – Epilogue
Two years later…
In Sakura's house…
"Tenten! Hurry up or else you're gonna be late!" shouted Ino, who was slightly irritated at how slow her best friend was being.
"Yeah, yeah, I know! I have to look perfect! It is my big day!" replied Tenten, shouting down the stairs.
Sakura was helping her put on everything. Unfortunately, she was half and hour late and now she had to pay for it. There wasn't much time left, however she was trying her best.
"There! It took us some time, but now it looks perfect!" said Sakura, looking proudly at what she had just done.
Tenten was looking wonderful, like no-one else had seen her. She looked into the mirror to see herself, and gave Sakura the biggest hug anyone could give.
"Now, we're set!" announced the two in unison.
"Come on everyone! Neji-nii-san's going to be very angry to find you late!" yelled Hinata, who was popping in from the car to see what the hold-up was.
The two who was busy getting ready, had finally got themselves downstairs. And got everybody to open their mouths wide.
"Tenten, you look… AMAZING!!!" said Ino. "It was worth the wait! Neji's gonna be so speechless, that she's gonna forget the vows!"
"Ino's right, Tenten-chan! Neji-nii-san will be very happy!"
"Thanks, but I think we should get there, before Neji gets mad!" the weapon mistress exclaimed.
"Good point! Let's go!"

Where Neji is…
"What's taking them so long? It's going to start in an about 15 minutes. Neji's going to be mad if he get's stood up. Haha!" remarked the Kyuubi boy, laughing to himself.
"Naruto, you can't be serious, Tenten stand Neji up? No way. After what they went through, she better not." said the Sharingan user.
Unfortunately, many people heard this remark, and if you know Konoha, it'll spread like wildfire. In about 2 minutes Kiba had overheard it and began to blab to the closest person to him, Chouji.
"Hey Chouji, guess what I just heard!"
"What?" was Akimichi's reply, whose voice had a slight bit of irritation, as he was munching on his munchies.
"Tenten's gonna ditch Neji!" exclaimed Kiba, who was very excited.
"No way!" Chouji had dropped his chips on the floor and hurried to tell the next person, Shikamaru.
"That's gonna be so troublesome, I'll go tell Lee to tell Neji." replied the shadow possession user.
He walked casually to Lee, who was having a heart-to-heart with Gai-sensei.
"Lee, I think you should know this for the sake of Neji."
"Ok Shikamaru, I am ready with the power of youth!" exclaimed Lee.
"So troublesome. Tenten's gonna ditch Neji."
"What?! NO WAY!? THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! THEIR LOVE IS UNBREAKABLE!" yelled Lee, with fire burning in his eyes.
"Yeah whatever. It's troublesome."
He walked off into the direction of Chouji, who, of course, was at the food table.
Lee literally ran up to Neji and shouted his name out loud.
"What is it Lee? If it's because Tenten's late, I already know." said the calm Hyuuga, who was actually nervous inside.
"NO! IT'S BECAUSE TENTEN IS GOING TO LEAVE YOU!!!"
"Excuse me?"
Neji choked on his drink, and was coughing loudly.
"Don't joke with me Lee, Tenten's loves me, she wouldn't do that." replied the choking genius.
"Neji do I ever lie to you?" questioned the green-spandex wearing ninja.
"Come to think of it no."
"Well then?"
"Ok, what can I do? I'll just wait."
Inside the prodigy was fuming, he went as far as buying the most expensive things possible for her perfect day.
TENTEN! YOU ARE SO DEAD!

7 minutes later…
Everybody was in their positions, ready for the most romantic day in Konoha, more like the worst.
All the guests and guest of honours were nervously waiting for the blow to happen.
Everyone waited for another minute, before three figures stood at the entrance.
"INO, SAKURA, HINATA – WHERE IS SHE!"
"What's got into you Neji, it's like someone's told you that she's gonna ditch you or something."
Ino had no clue how right she was.
"ANSWER MY QUESTION! – WHERE IS SHE?!"
"NEJI GET BACK TO YOUR POSITION, NOW!" the two shouted in unison.
Neji obeyed their orders, as he knew that he would get a beating from each of their partners.
"Now, everybody, we're sorry we're late! We were fashionably late! Seriously!" Sakura shouted.
Ino and Sakura went to the side, leaving Hinata in the middle. She bowed and also went to the side.
Everyone gasped. Neji, however, did not take these gasps as a good thing, and tensed up. Unfortunately, he was wrong, as he wasn't facing the entrance. They gasped for the beauty who was walking down the aisle.
She had her long, dark brown hair had been let down, her tiara was sparking in the sunlight. Her dress was the same oriental-style clothing she fought with, it had the collar and the sleeveless touch. However, there was a line going diagonally to below her chest instead of going straight down. It also had white embroidered flowers, accompanied by the white background and with a slit down the side, with frilly silk material revealed from underneath her wedding gown, at the edges of the bottom of her beautiful dress. The weapon mistress was holding a bouquet of pink lilies, chosen with the help of Ino Yamanaka. She was one of the deadliest but prettiest kunoichi of Konoha at that very moment.
Sighing was heard and smiles were seen. Neji was a very lucky man, but he didn't feel it at the time.
She finally reached the end of the path, and clung onto Neji's arm. He was startled but turned to see her facing him with the most attractive smile she had. And her clothing just complimented her face. Neji knew he shouldn't be so angry when she went this far for him. But he just boiled inside to think that this beautiful woman would betray him on the day he was going to prove his love to her. He plucked the courage to say –
"It's off."
"What?"
"It's off."
The kunoichi was completely taken-aback from his sudden remark.
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? You're the one who's going to leave me."
"I dressed up like this for you. I went out with Lee for you. And now you tell me it's off because I was going to leave you. Are you crazy?" exclaimed Tenten.
"Good point. Lee." Neji moved his glance to his best man. His glance was actually one of his death glares.
"It is not my fault. It was told this shocking, and untrue, information by…"
Both Tenten and Neji moved to the next death glare victim – Shikamaru.
"So troublesome. Chouji told me."
The shadow user was relieved to be taken out of Neji's glare radar.
"Hey, hey, I just eat. Kiba told me."
Chouji wasn't just being given one of the prodigy's famous stares, but a double glare with Tenten. It was intense, and once they moved onto the next suspect, it was like a big dark rain cloud had lifted.
"Now Kiba, if you don't want me and Tenten to kill you, please tell me the first person who started this ridiculous rumour." threatened Neji.
"Naruto and Sasuke." was his simple but effective reply.
"Thank you."
They moved on but were still irritated about how long this ridiculous 'goose chase' had been going on.
"Look, it was a joke ok, all I said was - What's taking them so long? It's going to start in an about 15 minutes. Neji's going to be mad if he get's stood up." explained Naruto.
"This was a misunderstanding." said Sasuke.
Neji and Tenten just gave up, they had no energy left to go round beating people up.
"Excuse me, I thought a wedding was going on?"
"Right yeah, Tenten let's get on with it. They're not worth it."
"You're right." Tenten said with a huge smile on her face.
Neji and Tenten had almost been around the whole church, trying to solve their stupid mystery. They had wasted enough time. The vicar was getting cross and so were the guests.

To the vows…
"I Neji/Tenten, take you, Tenten/Neji to be my husband/wife,
to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
'til death do us apart."
"Do you, Neji Hyuuga, take Tenten, to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"I do."
Neji gazed into his future wife's eyes lovingly.
"And do you, Tenten, take Neji Hyuuga, to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do."
The pair exchanged rings, admiring the way they were given to each other. It was a very adorable, loving and caring moment shared between the two for everyone to see. Everyone thought it was one of the most romantic days in Konoha.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
The now, newly wedded, couple leaned in for an affectionate and tender kiss. Like the one they had first ever shared.

A/N: What dyu think? I know it's long but it's worth it. Well, I think it is. I know it got twisted, but after all they went through, you can't expect them to not have at least a tiny problem to deal with! Lol!
By the way, if you think this story was sort of rubbish at the start, I apologize, it's cos this is my FIRST fanfiction I have ever wrote in my life!
Now thank you for all the reviews!
And to show my appreciation I have typed out all my reviewers!
