Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Tenten stared at herself in the mirror, wide-eyed with panic. She had absolutely no idea what she was going to wear or how to do her hair or makeup and she was supposed to meet Neji at the restaurant for their date in 10 minutes. The brunette girl picked up her phone and called Ino.

Half an hour later…

Tenten sprinted up to the restaurant; half hobbling in the heels that Ino had made her wear. Neji was leaning against the wall looking bored. He turned towards her and his jaw nearly dropped, his team mate looked amazing in that little black dress she had on and he could feel butterflies beginning to flutter in his stomach.

"I'm so sorry I'm late! You weren't waiting too long were you?" she panted, trying to catch her breath back.

Neji shook his head, "I was running a little late myself," he admitted. He had decided to buy her some flowers on his way to the restaurant at the last minute and had stood in the Yamanaka shop for about 15 minutes agonising over which flowers to buy. Unfortunately, Ino had not been there to help him and her father had been of little help, telling Neji to give him a yell once he'd made his decision before disappearing into the back room to watch some TV. The long haired boy flushed slightly as he handed Tenten the bouquet he had finally decided on.

Tenten gasped with surprise and beamed at him. "Thank you Neji they're beautiful!" she exclaimed as she hugged him. He stiffened momentarily then relaxed, he wasn't used to close physical contact but this was definitely something he could get used to. Tenten breathed in the flower's scent deeply, and then she began sneezing. Repeatedly.

Neji inwardly winced; this was not how their first date was supposed to start off.

"I'm sorry," wheezed Tenten in between sneezes. "I never knew I was allergic, I've never been given flowers before."

Neji wordlessly handed her a handkerchief which she took gratefully. The sneezing eventually subsided but her eyes were now watering and her nose was bright red. Both ninjas walked into the restaurant. Trying to be the gentleman, Neji pulled the chair out for Tenten to sit on. Oblivious to his intentions, she walked around to the other side of the table and sat herself down. He made sure to keep his face smooth as he sat down. He the great Hyuuga prodigy refused to acknowledge that he might have gotten rejected by a girl, even if it was unintentional on her part. She smiled at him shyly and he gave her a tiny smile back. He couldn't help himself, her smiles were contagious.

The food was good and rest of the date was uneventful, that was, until Tenten accidentally knocked over the candle on their table. The white tablecloth caught on fire and she shrieked. Neji grabbed the first bottle of liquid he saw and threw its contents over the fire. Unfortunately it was wine and the flames flared up even more and spread. Other restaurant patrons began screaming and he swore for the first time in his life, looking around desperately for some water to put the fire out.

Tenten beat him to it and flung the contents of a jug of water over the fire and it spurted and sizzled stubbornly before finally dying out. Unfortunately, some water had also splashed onto his pants... onto a rather sensitive area.

"I'm so sorry," she gasped as she started dabbing at it with a napkin frantically, not registering that she was actually dabbing at very very sensitive area.

Neji leapt away from her, he didn't want her touching him there, well not yet anyway, and pushed her away in panic. "It's fine don't wor-" he yelped before backing into a waiter, causing him to drop a few heavy plates of food.

The manager stormed over, "What's going on here?" The balding, middle-aged man's jaw dropped and he pointed an accusing finger at them, "YOU NINJAS AGAIN?!" Neji and Tenten stared at him with surprise. It was the same manager who had previously worked at the inn Lee destroyed after he had sipped some of Gai-sensei's sake when they celebrated his achievement in mastering the Primary Lotus. "OUT! OUT! Before you cause even more damage! I've had it with you ninja, don't ever show your face here again!" screamed the balding man, face turning red.

As if on cue, two large burly ex-sumo wrestlers working at the restaurant grabbed them both and threw them out of the restaurant unceremoniously. Neji stood up stiffly and helped his date to her feet who could only gape at the restaurant they had just been thrown out of. He was starting to feel rather uncomfortable in his wet pants. He didn't even want to look down because he knew that it looked like he wet himself.

"That was some date Neji," said Tenten finally after she brushed the dirt off her dress. She glanced at his solemn expression and tried to hide a smile.

He frowned, "I'm sorry Tenten, and I really wanted you to enjoy yourself."

She started laughing, "I am enjoying myself! You should have seen your expression when you were trying to put out the fire." The brunette girl slid her arm into his easily, "Do you feel like ice-cream? I think we might have to redo the whole first date thing all over again."

They began walking down the street and a small smile quirked at the corner of his mouth. "I would like a chance to redeem myself, but on one condition."

"No more eating out?"

He smirked, "I was going to ask that you stop being such a pyromaniac."

Meanwhile… two unseen observers were hiding behind some bushes outside the restaurant…

Hanabi was doubled over shaking with silent laughter, holding her sides as tears streamed down her face. Hinata continued to film Neji and Tenten as they walked down the road until they were out of sight. "They're gone," she whispered to her younger sister who burst out laughing.

"Kami-sama, that was such a disaster. Oh that was hilarious! Did you see their expressions?" she gasped in between bouts of laughter.

Hinata simply smiled, her father would certainly enjoy the footage they obtained. "Imagine their expressions when we show this video at their engagement party."
