Last Night I Dreamt I Was an Aardvark Again

^This is a randomly generated first sentence from plot-generator.org. What was the result? A one-shot that was really fun to write!!!! This is a really fun experiment that I suggest people try for sure. (Especially if you're going through a nasty case of writer's block like I may or may not be going through now....) Also, yes it's another Nejiten. Tenten (according to the databooks) likes fortune telling, so I thought it would just work well.

Disclaimer: None! Completely wholesome (ish).

AU: High School/ Real world

----------

"Last Night I dreamt I Was an Aardvark Again."

Tenten tried her best not to laugh out loud. She had definitely heard stranger dreams. As the school's notorious "fortune expert" people tended to pour their strange bouts of subconsciousness onto her, and they weren't always appreciated. Seriously Naruto, she did not want to know about that one dream he had about Sasuke. She shivered at the thought. However, with great power comes great responsibility, so she felt the need to help decipher every dream. And when she said every dream, she meant it. (Yes, even Naruto's disturbing one).

As was her role in this life (apparently), she tried her best to keep a straight face when deciphering the dream of one Neji Hyuga, the smartest boy in the sophomore class (and also the cutest).

Approaching with a professional tone, she asked the main question that laced her mind. "Um, again?"

Neji Hyuga stood up a little straighter. "Yes, I have had this dream for several days now. I would like to know the meaning of it."

Again, Tenten (who was normally bubbling with laughter) found it extremely difficult to keep a straight face. Seated at her desk, she pulled out her trusty dream book and flipped through the pages for anything on aardvark related dreams. "Well," She said cautiously. "It says here that aardvarks signify a challenge that you have yet to overcome."

"Pfft. You've got that right." He muttered.

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing."

The bell had rung to signal the start of class about ten minutes ago, but knowing Kakashi-sensei, that meant they had several more minutes until he showed up.

"Well, would you like to disclose any more details that might be of help?" She asked him cheerily.

"No. No I would not."

Tenten scrunched her nose a little bit at his stubbornness. "Okay then, good luck with your challenge, I guess." She said, waving the Hyuga boy away from her desk. He walked back to his own, right as the teacher strolled in.

"Okay class," Kakashi-sensei said."Today, we are going to be learning about the reproductive system..."

The entire class groaned in response, and subsequently turned to whatever the hell they were doing before. (It's not like a class full of 16 year olds really needed help in that department anyway).

A boy with a black ponytail and lazy expression leaned over to Neji Hyuga's desk with a sly grin on his face. "Really Casanova?" He asked. "An aardvark? That's your big conversation starter? I thought you were affluent in the girls department."

"Shut up Nara." He growled. "I don't see you making any moves on that blonde of yours."

Shikamaru leaned back in his chair and shook his head. "Eh, she's too troublesome to deal with at the moment. But either way, the challenge is still on, and you know what will happen if you don't make a move by next week."

Neji glared at his lazy friend. Yes, he did know what would happen if he were to lose the bet. And in the name of heavens above, Neji was going to kill Uzumaki if he ever gave away his secret to Tenten.

Let's just say, he hadn't really been dreaming about aardvarks for the past couple days.....
