"So, Hinata, do you want to eat
some ramen with me?"
Hinata smiled as she finally
looked up at Naruto.
"Really? I'd like that."
"Sugoi!" Naruto ran to the stand,
which was maybe three steps away, and pulled out a seat for Hinata. She
sat down and he scuttled over to his own seat.
"Two extra large bowls please,
shopkeeper!"
They ate their ramen in silence,
but Naruto didn't mind... after all, it was ramen! His favorite! He was
done in about five minutes, and looked over to find out in surprise
that Hinata was also done with hers.
"That was good, wasn't it,
Hinata?"
Hinata nodded. smiling.
Naruto took out his wallet to
pay. It was shaped like a frog, and he opened the mouth to discover...
he had no money.
"What?" Naruto was horrified...
Hinata would never go to the dance with a loser like him.
"It's okay, Naruto, I have some
money."
Naruto watched as Hinata put some
coins on the counter... she really was such a nice person.
"I'm sorry, Hinata, I didn't mean
to make you pay for our dinner."
"I know. I don't mind."
Naruto smiled. "I'll make it up
to you, promise! I can take you out for ramen before we go to the
dance!"
"... dance?"
"Huh?" Naruto was befuddled until
he remembered... he hadn't asked Hinata to the damce yet. He was such
an idiot.
"I'd love to go to the dance with
you, Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled at him, and Naruto laughed.
"That's great!" Yes! Mission
accomplished! He had a date to the dance!
The day of the dance Naruto had a
great time. True to his word, he took Hinata out for ramen beforehand,
and he remembered his money this time. It was a queit night, but that
was alright. Hinata was a great person... maybe they'd end up spending
more time together after the dance!
