January 2nd

Twenty minutes.

That's how long Sakura had been waiting at the restaurant. 

She sighed. ‘I can't say I'm surprised,’ she thought. After all, she had been surprised her date had said yes in the first place, being as out of her league as they were. 

She herself had only just attained Chuunin status three days ago, and, riding on the high of her achievement, she’d decided to shoot her shot with the distractingly attractive proctor of the first and second exams. 

Whether she was just humoring her, or genuinely impressed by her performance, Sakura couldn’t tell, but the oldest of the Sand Siblings had looked her up and down and quirked her lips. “Sure. Tuesday, 7 PM, at the Flowering Cactus. Wear something nice.”

So here she was, sitting at the fancy table at 7:20, debating whether she should admit defeat and head back to her hotel yet. The longer she waited, the worse her sensei’s teasing would-

“Sorry I’m late,” said Temari as she slid into the booth across from her. “Would you believe me if I said it was my brother’s fault?”

Sakura grinned, relieved. “Knowing your brothers, yes I would.”
