Hinata sat on a stairs of the Hyuuga household. mentally practicing the byakugan when Sakura ran up. "hey!

Hinata, here ive got something for you." Hinata looked up shocked. she suddenly wanted to run away. not because

she hated Sakura, but because she thought it was a prank for anyone to be so kind to her. Sakura reached her

steps and handed her an envelope. "I hope you can come to my all girls sleepover." she said with obvious

excitement. Hinata smiled gingerly as she played with the invitation in her hand. im..invited, she thought

with belonging. Sakura oblivious to Hinatas thoughts flagged her hand in front of her face. "Hinata?" Hinata

came to as Sakura regained her happy expression. "you coming right?" Hinata didnt know how to respond. "uh,

sure, Sakura." Sakura smiled triumphantly. "all right! ive got you, Ten-?Ten, Temari, Ino,"she said

distastefully," And Neji!" Hinata looked puzzled. "nejis not a girl." she said softly. /Sakura

laughed and started walking away. "i know but he looks like one until you hear him speak." she said playfully.

Hinata watched her go and proudly held the envelope. she opened it with anticipation and pulled out a card. she

read it carefully. Hinata you are invited to my party along with the other konoichi in the village. please be

there on time. bring pajamas its a slepover!, the card read. Hinata smiled and pushed her waist length raven

colored hair from her face. "ive actually been invited."
she said to herself.
