Ino's POV
Today's the day!!
And of course we are running extremely late...
Sakura and I have been hauling the giant giftbasket down the street and into the train station all morning
"It's not gonna fit" Sakura kept doubting as I kept pushing it through the doors
"Maybe not if IM THE ONLY ONE HELPING"I snapped at her
She sighed and began to push
Of course with her monster strength the thing popped right in
"We're already late and it's hard enough to haul this thing around as it is. I can't believe we gotta do it in heels" Sakura complained
"Well it's not like we can get dressed there you know" I reminded her
"Let's just hurry and maybe we'll get there before Tuesday" she exaggerated
Ten ten had helped us get the gift basket wrapped up nicely while Sakura and I got ready that morning.
It was really kind of Itachi to get us such nice dresses he even went as far as to get all the accessories too!
They were delivered just last night! It really made us feel like royalty
"If only Itachi included a magical carriage" I said daydreaming
"He's done more than enough for us now get pushing!" Sakura snapped me back to reality as we continued to push the giant basket
"Sakura you're strong why don't you just carry it by yourself" I complained
"I don't wanna show up all sweaty"
She had a good point
"But at this rate we'll never get there in time!"
"We still have some time I mean it's not like we want to be the first ones there right?"
"You're right! We'll be fashionably late!" I agreed
Suddenly I felt much better! What's the rush? It's not like they won't let us in after a while right ?
...
Right ?
Sakura and I calmly took our time hauling the basket.
Suddenly we begin to see a large crowd
"What's all this?" Sakura asked trying to see where they were all headed
Then a large skylight began to flash off in the distance
"It can't be"
"It is!"
Itachi went a little overboard with his party!
The whole town was lined up trying to get in!
"Ugh I didn't think they'd have a line! This is ridiculous!!" I complained
We dashed as quickly as we could to the back of the line that wrapped almost a block around already!
Sakura began to get teary eyed "I'm gonna feel so bad showing up late!"
I rub her back trying to comfort her "there there-maybe we can somehow skip the line?" I suggested
"I mean we were invited unlike these guys" I reminded her
"Hey that's right! Let's see if we can get closer!" Sakura perked right up
We stepped out of line and began our long journey to the front
