Ino sat at the counter of her families flower shop, with her elbows rested on the counter, and her chin in her hands. She was staring out the window watching as people walked by. She wasn't really paying attention to them, she was deep in thought. Ino wasn't thinking about anything in particular just daydreaming really.I wish I could be out there having fun...Or even training. I bet Sakura's training...But I am stuck here running the flower shop! I could be catching up to Sakura, but no! She sighed at the thought of Sakura being stronger than her.
She sat up strait and put her hands in her lap. Nobody has been here all day! She thought, getting angry at her mom. Mom said that she thought that we would be busy today... She sighed again as she thought of all the things she could be doing with this precious time that she was wasting.
If somebody doesn't come here soon, then I am closing up, and leaving! She thought getting aggravated at the people that were walking by but not coming in.

Chouji peeked around a corner across the street inside the flower shop. "Hm? That's Ino. Looks like her mom's got her working the flower shop again. She looks a bit lonely. Hm, I wanted to go get some barbeque, but." He gulped as his mind turned to barbeque. He stepped out of the alley.
The little bell of the shop rang as he entered. "Hello Ino. Guess you're stuck with the shop again huh?" He smiled at her as he walked up to her. His knees were trembling a bit as he approached her.

Ino looked up as she heard the bell on the shop door open. "Oh, Chouji. Yeah, but thats ok. So what brings you here to our shop, just stopping by?" She stood from her stool behind the counter and put on her apron. "while I am up I should go ahead and put this new flowers in pots." She walked over to some fresh cut roses and daffodils and put on some gloves.
She pulled out some pots from a cabinet near her, and sat down on her knees. She started humming while she worked, waiting for Chouji to say something.

Chouji watched her closely. "Well mostly to check on a friend. You seemed pretty miserable so I wanted to cheer you up. Once you're done how about we go get some Barbeque?" He smiled a bit as he knelt down. "I might not be the most delicate person but anything I can do to help?"
He gulped a bit. "Also, there's someone I want to get some flowers for. You're a girl, what kind should I get?" He scratched the back of his head while he waited for her to respond.

Ino lay a rose in a pot and put a little dirt around it, being careful not to put too much in or pack it in too hard.
She looked up from her rose, not to look at chouji but she looked at the shelf in front of her. "Hmmm....Well, that depends on a lot of things. Who are you getting the flowers? What colors do they like? What occasion is it? If you can tell me those things than I can help you." she said then looked over to Chouji.
She put the pot to the side and picked up another. "And as for the invitation, sure. I'm kinda hungry anyway, so I might as well come with you. It'll be fun." She said this and gave Chouji a kind smile. Deep inside Ino was dieing of curiosity.
WHAT DOES CHOUJI WANT WITH FLOWERS?! I have to find out, even if I have to follow him! Or tie him to a chair and shine a light in his eyes until he tells me!

Chouji stood up and put his hand on his chin. "Hm, I guess I'll have to figure those things out. Although I do know the occasion is. Well first I'll help you out here, then we can go get something to eat!" He smiled at her as he watched her work.
"Or if you think I'm too clumsy I can come back. It's your call Ino-Chan." He was trying to think things about the 'girl' he wanted the flowers for. He also really wanted to at least keep Ino company.

"Hmmm...Well I am pretty used to doing this alone, but if you want to help, then...you could hand me the flowers. Or...here." she said handing him a pot, and a daffidill. "Just be careful ok. They're really delicate, so pat them in gentlely."
OH MY GOD! I HAVE TO KNOW WHO THE GIRL IS!! I HAVE TO!!
"So...uh...Who is this 'girl' anyway? I mean you don't have to tell me. But uh...It would help with the flower thingy." She sweat droped a little as she said this, for she knew it was a lie. But she had to know.

Chouji carefully planted the daffodil. "I can't tell you that." He bit his lip as he put up the pot with a few of the others. He moved on to the next one. He really couldn't say it, he really wanted to. However he could never make it come out. "So, about how much longer do we need to do this for before we can go eat?"
He scratched his nose a bit. He sighed softly as he finished a few more for Ino. "I'm really starving!"

"Well..."She said, "I suppose we can go now. I've been here long enough." She stood up and dusted herself off. She walked over to the counter and took off her aprin, stuffing it in a drawer. Then she walked over to the trash can and took her gloves off and though them away. She turned to Chouji and said, "Since you didn't wear gloves you can wash your hands in the sink." She pointed to a sink that was against the wall.
I HAVE TO KNOW WHO HE WANTS THE FLOWERS FOR!!!! THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!

"Hai." He nodded and washed his hands in the sink. "Alright, ready to go then Ino-chan?" He walked outside and waited for her to lock up if she needed to. "I hope you aren't dieting again. I plan to get alot and I'll feel bad if I eat it ALL by myself!" He grinned as he watched her.

Ino laughed as she heard him say this, and she locked up the store. Her mom had an extra key so she would go ahead to lock him up.
She walked outside where Chouji was standing, "Ok." She said, "We can go. And don't worry I am not dieting anymore. So where are we eating?" She asked waiting for Chouji to tell her where they were going and to lead the way.

"I'm glad you're not dieting anymore. It's bad for someone like you Ino. You're already so tiny you diet anymore and you'll vanish!" He chuckled a bit as they walked. "I hope it's alright with you, I was planning on going to my favorite barbeque place. I was already on my way there when I saw how miserable you looked."

Ino laughed a bit as Chouji joked about how skinny she was. "So you think I am too skinny...Oh, no! Should I eat more? Or are you hinting that I am too big, but you wanna be nice about it? Chouji tell me the truth! Am I too skinny or too-" She cut off her sentance be for she said the word 'fat', she knew Chouji hated that word. "Um..." she tried to fix what she was going say, "Um...big?" She said trying out the word to see if Chouji would mind it.
Great going Ino! She thought. You've done it now!
"And sure the uh, um...barbique place is fine!" She sweatdroped a little as she said this, she was trying to change the subject before he had the chance to blow up.

Chouji's eye twitched at the word. "I mean you're the perfect weight as you are now Ino. Let's just leave it at that!" He huffed a bit as he opened the door for her. "Let's just try to have a good time." He seemed to be actually repressing his anger at any form of that word for her. He seemed determined to have a good time with her.

Ino sighed, she didn't mean to hurt his feelings, and at least she didnt say 'fat'. She walked in the door, and said, "Thanks Chouji. So do we seat ourselves or is this a buffet?" She asked looking around, Curiously. By now she had completely forgotten the flower mistery.
She stood by Chouji wating for him to answer her.
