Tenten opened one eye, her head clouded and slightly foggy. She couldn't remember what happened in her dream, a strange feeling still in her chest. All she remembered was something green. What did I dream about? How could she have forgotten so easily? It was like something was preventing her from knowing. But then, it was a dream. Some dreams she had over the years were forgotten as soon as she woke up. Tenten yawned, grabbing her phone and checking the time. The time was 1:47 in the afternoon. Shoot, I have to be in the lobby at 2:00 was her first panicked thought. She quickly grabbed leggings and a shirt from the closet, frowning when she saw that the bathroom was occupied. "Neji, hurry up!" She yelled.
"You should wake up earlier!" Was the only response.
The brunette scowled and headed over to her bed, pulling off her clothes and putting on the new outfit. Decided that she looked decent enough, she took her purse and filled it with her necessities, such as a phone, the dorm key card, and keys.
Neji came out of the bathroom, grabbing his phone and key card and shoving it into his pocket. "Today is the last day of the challenge," He reminded Tenten.
"Yep," Tenten replied, slightly frowning. For some reason, she felt slightly unhappy, but she shrugged it off and went into the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and doing her hair, she grabbed her purse and headed out the dorm, Neji following behind her. They made it to the lobby a few minutes after 2:00, which was alright.
When they stepped into the lobby, they saw that some of the group hadn't arrived yet. Once they waited a few minutes, all of the group had arrived. "Alright we'll be walking a short distance. The parade comes near here so we won't have to walk very far, plus traffic isn't allowed on the streets during the parade and a bit after."
The group set out towards the main gates, walking out and down a few blocks before Ino ordered them to stop. "The parade starts at 2:30, so we have," She paused, taking out her phone and checking the time, "Around ten minutes left, so just chat or do something to keep yourself occupied."
"What's the parade like?" Tenten asked, peering down the road for any sign of the parade.
"Well, there are floats," Sakura explained.
"And different people sitting on the floats," Hinata added, "Plus, people sometimes dance around the floats."
"I personally think it would look better at night, with light up decorations," Temari chimed in.
"Well, it would be a disaster to close off some of the streets of Tokyo at night," Ino explained, frowning.
"Oh, true," Temari murmured.
"The youthful floats have arrived!" Lee declared, pointing to one end of the road.
Sure enough, the floats were starting to move towards them. The first float was an elegant pavilion, decorated with multicolored leaves. One lady stood in the center of the pavilion, dressed in a kimono that matched the leaves but stood out at the same time. The next float was a fancy Halloween-themed throne. And so, the floats continued on, complete with dancers around most of them. There was one specific float that was quite creepy, much to certain people with arachnophobia.
The parade finished after around an hour, and the group walked to a restaurant a few blocks away. "Table for fifteen," Ino told the waitress, who nodded and led them to a large, long table.
