Pink Champagne

Chapter 1 - Pink Champagne

Sakura held her hand out once more for a cab. She kept it raised this time, while Ino rolled her eyes.

"Why can't we call an uber? It would be much faster!"

"But more expensive." Sakura bargened back.

"You're a doctor, you could afford an Uber."

"I newly certified doctor in Konohagakure, I can barely afford an apartment. Not to mention my student loans-"

"Enough! You always use that excuse. Right Hinata?" Hinata nodded her head quickly.

"Lay off of her Ino, it's not like your anyone to talk." Tenten quickly shoved Ino in a playful way. Ino giggled as she blushed.

"Hey, it's not my fault, I'm newly engaged." Sakura shook her head, finally a cab began to slow down.

"I think tonight It's Sakura's time to let loose." Hinata said, holding on to her friends arm. Sakura smiled, nodding along to her friends, all of them laughing.

Tenten sat up front of the cab, giving the driver directions, while Sakura sat in the middle of her two friends.

"But what I was trying to say, is tonight is going to be fun!" Ino said, leaning up to make a point to Tenten.

"Yeah Yeah." She waved her off, quickly texting away on her phone.

"Naruto may even come, he's going to bring the guys with him." Hinata said, clapping her hands together.

"The newly weds out and about again." Sakura teased. Hinata began to twirl her wedding ring.

"He said all the guys will be there, at least the ones who can get away from work."

"Sai is coming." Ino added. "Shikamaru as well."

"How did you get his lazy ass to come."

"He found out what club we were going to. Had no choice but to come." Tenten added. "Lee is still away at boot camp and can't come."

"What about Neji huh?" Sakura asked teasing her friend. Tenten shook her head.

"He's still overseas on a business trip with my father." Hinata added for her.

"So let's see, that's Naruto for Hinata, Tenten out of luck, Temari with Shikamaru and me with Sai. Looks like someone is going to have fun man hunting tonight!" Ino exclaimed.

"Naruto is also bringing a friend from his Elementary school." Hinata remembered.

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah he had moved to a different city for a while, but he's back to do his fellowship here at Konohagakure Hospital." Hinata smiled at Sakura.

"I haven't heard of us getting a new fellow, so he must not be in Neonatal."

"Anyway, no talking about work anymore. Sakura! You are the one who is deemed this time to get the most drunk." Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah, who is going to take care of me?" Ino raised her hand. All the girls laughed, while Sakura agreed. The cab pulling to a stop in front of the Sand Club.

All the girls made their way to the back straight to the VIP booth. Temari was already there, when they got there. She stood up hugging, Sakura.

"It's been to long!" She exclaimed. Sakura can't remember the last time she saw the starlet.

"Are you okay coming here? I know you don't like paparazzi."
