[She waits kind of nervously, hoping Yumi isn't going to laugh at her -- she returns the smile with visible relief when she doesn't.]

Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'd have never thought it, but underneath that cool exterior he puts on all the time... He's really great.

[Wow this is getting sappy. Time to break that up.]

Plus when you add that to how cute he is and how talented of both a ninja and a trainer he is...

I wouldn't know how talented he specifically is but I can admit he is cute. [Not as cute as Ulrich, that is.]

Y'know, the more you talk about Sasuke, the more Ulrich sounds kind of similar to him. Makes me kind of curious of how they'll interact with each other.

They don't call him the Rookie Genius at home for nothing. He's the only one in our whole generation I think could ever come close to beating Lee or Neji.

[Just... not mentioning that Naruto beat Neji. That was a fluke. A good fluke! But still a fluke.]

I don't know, knowing Sasuke and meeting people? Sasuke would probably just look at him and maybe hum acknowledgment. I hope -- you said it was Ulrich? -- knows how to talk to people.

Only one huh? That does sound pretty impressive... are Lee and Neji that intense?

[She gives an awkward laugh because Ulrich interacting with people?]

He does....but he's not exactly social either. He was quite nasty to me and his roommate when we first meet but that was two years ago. I'm pretty sure he can talk to people but it won't be much either.

Yeah, they are. The best.

[Firm confidence in both of her teammates.]

Um... can I ask how you guys, uh. Figured out about how you liked each other? You don't have to say if you don't want to!

Well, normally I wouldn't but after that whole story, I think it'll only be fair if I give my contribution to the story.

[Only cause its you Tenten. Only cause its you.]

It wasn't exactly love at first sight like in all the fairy tales. It was after a while we first met each other when we got into this big stupid fight. He was getting really close with this one girl and, well, I got like crazy jealous over it. As much I want to talk about our fight, I'll just cut it short and say it was just one big mess.

[She looks to the side, blushing a bit.]

And then more crazy stuff happened. [A beat.] I was able to fall to my death right when he caught my hand in time. I wanted to apologize to him about my behavior towards him earlier but I think he knew it somewhere in his thick skull of his. Especially since we...

....made up afterwards.

I respected his friendship with other girls and he respected my feelings.

[Wait, she wants to know how that trailed-off part was going to end! But she won't pry, instead just smiling again.]

That's... I don't know, that sounds pretty great to me. Except the almost-dying part.

[More and more, she's getting curious about what it is Yumi does back home.]

I'm glad everything's worked out for you, that's... really good. And when you get home, he'll be waiting for you.

[Yumi'll tell you some other day Tenten, don't worry!]

He better be. If not, then he's going have to do something extravagant to make it up somehow haha... [She knows he'll be waiting though, as sappy as that sounds.]

I hope everything'll go ok between you and Sasuke too. You guys do look cute together.

Something extravagant, huh? Sounds nice.

[She flushes again and flips the chopstick into the air to catch it again.]

What, you really think so?

[Yumi was expecting that reaction from the girl.]

Yeah. But you didn't hear it from me.

...Of course not.

[She breaks into a wide smile, probably the first genuinely pleased one she's had in the better part of a month.]

Thanks, Yumi-san. Do you mind if I just call you Yumi?

[After all this, they've got to be friends now.]

Nah, it's alright. That's what everyone calls me after all.

[She knows about Japanese honorfics so its her way of acknowledging their friendship too.]

Thanks! I'll see you there, then. And, uh -- wish me luck?

[She gives a thumbs up]

Wish you all the luck in the world.
