A week passed since Halloween, and after a long week of tiring studies, Tenten could finally enjoy the weekend. It was currently 9:32 on Saturday morning, and she had gotten out of bed after being unable to sleep any longer. Normally, she would sleep in, but for some reason today just wasn't one of those days. Neji was nowhere to be seen, but he rarely slept in so that wasn't much of a concern.
Tenten grabbed her phone, immediately seeing a notification from the group chat. She opened it and saw that Ino had texted a few minutes ago.
Ino: alright everyone get ur lazy asses outta bed
Naruto: bruh its too early to be going shopping
Kiba: ino- sHoPpInG tImE!
Ino: shut up, we're all going to an orchard, whether you LIKE IT OR NOT. gotta enjoy autumn before thanksgiving comes along and then the holiday cheer begins.
Sakura: alrighty ino pig what time
Ino: 10:30 am, wake up everyone. no one can skip this. we have to spend quality friend time together!
Shikamaru: What a drag, we did that last week. You women are so troublesome.
Chouji: will there be food?
Ino: yes! plenty of cinnamon sugar coated donuts

Neji: I'll be there Ino.
Tenten: omg neji actually participating!!! can we get a round of applause?!
Neji: Shut up.
Tenten: ouchie that hurt :(((
Neji: Pfft.
Tenten: where r u anyways
Neji: I'm assisting someone.
Tenten: iNtErEsTiNg
Tenten put down her phone after checking the time, which was 9:46 in the morning now. She went to the closet and grabbed a pair of leggings, a shirt, and a jacket, heading into the bathroom. After showering, dressing, and brushing her teeth, she blow dried her hair until it was halfway dried, leaving the tips still a bit damp. They would dry after a little waiting. She checked the time on her phone, which read 10:12. Good, I still have more time left, Tenten thought to herself. Just then, she heard the dorm door open.
Neji walked in, phone and key card in hand. He calmly sat down on the side of his bed and grabbed his laptop from the nightstand.
"So, who were you assisting?" Tenten asked in curiosity. You know what they say, curiosity killed the cat.
"No one," He replied quickly.
A little too quickly, she thought in suspicion. "Tell me. Now."
"Fine. I went to the lobby to get food, and I ran into Ami. She continued to pester me, and I didn't want to alert the group chat that my annoying ex-girlfriend was getting on my nerves, so I simply said that I was assisting someone. Apparently, word got out that we," Neji make quotation marks with his fingers, "'Broke up', and she wanted to confirm it."
Tenten narrowed her eyes, spotting a few light smudges of pink on his face. "Neji, you have lipstick on you."
"Ami attacked me. She's feisty," Neji replied, frowning. "Besides, I'm a single man. Even if-"
"That doesn't mean you-"
Neji held up his hands, cutting her off, "Relax, I didn't intentionally do anything. She was being very irritating. Besides, why does it matter to you?"
"Curiosity," Tenten muttered, shrugging. "Besides, I don't want you and that crazy woman to make out in the dorm like before."
He smirked. "Jealous now, are we?"
Tenten scoffed in reply. "Hardly. I just don't want to witness one of your discussing ass-grabbing make out sessions. Hopefully you changed."
"Change means I stay committed to a relationship-" Neji began, but Tenten interrupted.
"It means staying committed to a relationship with someone that isn't some slut of a fangirl," She said sternly.
"Yes, yes, I know. Anyways, you should probably finish getting ready."
Tenten grabbed her phone and checked the time. 10:24. "Oh shoot, its almost time," She muttered, putting her hair up in buns and grabbing a purse, hurriedly dumping in the items she normally brought along to one of Ino's activities. Once she and Neji finished getting ready, they silently headed down the elevator and into the lobby of the dorms.
Some of the group was already there, while some people still had yet to arrive. Ino was excitedly chatting about the different activities that could be done at the orchard, but Hinata kindly insisted that she should give a full description once the whole group arrived.
After a few more minutes, everyone had gathered in the lobby, and Ino being happily blabbering all the activities. "So basically, we'll all start off by seeing the adorable animals, riding the hay wagon, yada yada. Next is the pumpkin picking, and I'll pay for every pumpkin each of you picked because I dragged y'all there! There might be apples, I'm not a plant expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure some varieties grow around this time. The orchard is pretty big, so like, there's a change they'll have that type. Anyways, then we'll visit the gift shop and stuff plus eat some delicious donuts and any other food you want. Lastly, we'll enjoy anything else we missed and stuff. Of course, take pictures! I'll take a lot, and if you are one of my very fortunate and lucky photography victims, congrats, I'll send you a copy of the picture whether you like it or not. Questions?"
