It's Halloween season. Everyone, especially the girls, in the campus are preparing for the ball. It has been a tradition for them to guess what heartthrob Uchiha Sasuke would wear so they can match it. Anyone who wears the correct costume would get a chance to dance with him.

This year, the special faculties (medicine, dentistry, and veterinary) are joining the general faculties. Even the students from the special faculties know the tradition and are also preparing for the event.

Ino: What are you wearing, Haruno?

Sakura: I'm still thinking about it. What did he wear in the past 3 years?

Tenten: When he was a freshman, he became the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. I think there were 5 girls who got it correctly. They were all Alice.

Ino: Yeah, a very hot White Rabbit.

Sakura: Oh, so multiple girls can win?

Ino: Yeah. The year after that, he wore a cactus costume.

Sakura: A what??

Ino: A cactus! The winner was a bowl. Don't ask me how, because I didn't see it. But people said that the bowl looked like a pot.

Sakura: That's.. An odd costume.

Tenten: Yeah. Apparently, Sasuke was not aware that girls were trying to match his outfit. He thought he danced in the 1st year just because.

Sakura: He's a funny guy.

Ino: Funny and hot, I agree.

Tenten: Last year, he wore a cheese costume. There were 2 winners, Minnie Mouse and Jerry.

Sakura: Hmmm. That didn't help at all. His costumes were so random. He could wear a spoon costume and the winner could be a fork or a donburi.

Ino: Right. I'll wear a Velma costume. Who knows, maybe he'll be Fred Jones this year.

Tenten: I'm guessing he'll wear something out-of-the-box this year. So, I'm thinking of something that can be paired with multiple things. Maybe I'll be a box.

Ino: All of that explanation for a box. Yeah right, Tenten.

Tenten: It's a safe costume!!

Sakura: *sighs* I still don't know what to wear.. He likes tomatoes right? What if I wear a knife costume? Or maybe basil?

Ino: Or maybe a pot. Or a plastic bag from the grocery. *laughs*

Sakura: Why is it so hard?

Tenten: No, the real question is.. Why are we even making efforts?

Ino: Because he's THE Uchiha Sasuke, duh! Heir to the Uchicha Holdings, Incorporated.

Sakura: Well.. I started to like him when we taught their class about first aid. He was the volunteer. His eyes, his smile—

Ino: Hey, hey, stop daydreaming! You haven't won yet, Haruno! *chuckles*

Sakura: *laughs* I bet he doesn't even remember me.

Tenten: Fine. The box costume is worth risking for.

Sakura: I'll probably wear a bottle of ketchup costume. It's matching with a tomato.. And if he decides to wear a bucket of fries or a hotdog sandwich, then that should still win.

Ino: You two are making it complicated!

---

Ino: Waaah! Sakura! Tenten! I saw Sasuke in the hallway when I went to the registrar's office!

Tenten: Calm down, girl!

Ino: He's so fragrant. I should've asked him what he's gonna wear. *laughs*

Tenten: *laughs*

Ino: Why so serious, Haruno?

Sakura: I'm so stressed out.. The costume.. The lab reports..

Ino: Prioritize the costume! It's once a year anyway.

Sakura: I really want to but I don't think I can..

Tenten: We'll help you!

Ino: Yeah. Finish the postlabs then let's go to your house.

Sakura: Are you sure?

Ino: Yes, ketchup girl.

---

The three tries to finish the ketchup bottle costume as fast as they cand. Sakura tries it on and they all share a laugh.

Ino: Imagine dancing with Sasuke in that costume!

Tenten: You look like a mascot, Sakura! How can you even go to the stage?

Sakura: You guys are annoying! At this point I just want this event to be over.

Ino: So, you don't want to win anymore?

Sakura: I didn't say that.

Tenten: Ah, we shouldn't have helped you. We forgot you're our competitor. *laughs*

---

The Halloween Night comes. The hall is decorated mainly with black and orange. Everyone is mingling with each other regardless of their faculty.

Ino: *laughs* See that girl wearing a fork costume? I remember our convo last time.

Tenten: *laughs* Yeah. It's very cute though!

Ino: Hmm. Have you seen the ketchup girl? Where is she?

---

Tsunade: Sorry for making you work longer today, Sakura.

Sakura: N-No.. It's fine, Tsunade-sensei.

Tsunade: You're supposed to go to the Halloween Night, right?

Sakura: Yes.. If I still have time.. But if not, I'll just skip this year.

Tsunade: It's a compulsary event though. You have to go there and sign the attendance.

Sakura: Is it mandatory?

Tsunade: Yes!

Sakura: Oh, I didn't know..

Tsunade: What's your costume by the way?

Sakura: Um. A Ketchup bottle. I heard Sasuke— Do you happen to know him? He's like the star of the night..

Tsunade: I heard about the matchy-matchy costume thing.. Um, Sakura, could you help me transfer that? *points to a container*

Sakura: Sure, Tsunade-sensei!

They carry the glass jar together. As much as they try to do it carefully, they still drop the container.

Sakura: /thinks/ I'm doomed. Now I have to clean this up.

Tsunade: I'm sorry, Sakura! The jar slipped from my hands.. Oh no, it spilled on your lab coat and uniform.

Sakura: It's okay.. Don't worry about it. I— I'll clean it up now.. *gets the mop; phone starts ringing* Hello?

Ino: Where are you?? Don't tell me you're still in the lab.

Sakura: I am..

Ino: Come on now, Haruno. No one's supposed to work at this hour.

Sakura: I just need to clean this up and finalize some papers then I'll go.

Ino: Where's your costume?

Sakura: It's home.. I'll go home quickly—

Ino: Gosh! Fine! I won't hold you any longer. Just finish that and come here! No signs of Sasuke yet so you're still good.

Sakura: Okay.. Thanks for updating me. Bye.

Tsunade: Sakura, don't mind the mess. Just do the paperwork then you're good to go.

Sakura: Really? Thanks, Tsunade-sensei.

Sakura quickly reviews and writes the lab reports. It still takes her another hour to finish though.

Tsunade: I really feel bad.. Now you'll be late.

Sakura: It's okay, Tsunade-sensei. My house is near.. Just need to go and get my costume—

Tsunade: I'm afraid you don't have enough time.

Sakura: *checks her watch* Yeah.. But I really need to get the costume. Bye, Tsunade-sensei!

Tsunade: Thanks again, Sakura!

Ino: S-Sakura?

Sakura: Hey.

Tenten: Girl..

Sakura: I know.. I'm just here for the attendance.

Tenten: What attendance—

Host: *lights were focused to the stage* Are you excited to see our Halloween King? I bet everyone wants to see his costume already. What could he be this year? Ladies and gents, let's all welcome.. Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke: *spotlight on him; walks to the center*

Everyone: *gasps*

Ino: H-He's a..

Sasuke: Hello everyone! Please allow me to take my Halloween Queen. *starts going down from the stage*

Everyone: *cheers for him*

Ino: Oh my..

Tenten: Gosh, he's near..

Sasuke: My queen.. Please come with me. *takes Sakura's hand and kisses it*

Sakura: /thinks/ Is this even real?? *walks with him*

Host: Everyone, please cheer for our Halloween King and Queen! Our bloody doctors!!

The romantic music starts playing and the two start to dance on the stage. Everyone watches them at first then follows suit.

Sasuke: Are you okay?

Sakura: Yes.. I— I'm just nervous.. Sorry, I look messy and sweaty..

Sasuke: You look perfect. The blood on your costume looks real.

Sakura: /thinks/ Because it is. Ah, yes.. Actually, I was from the lab before going here—

Sasuke: Ah, enough of the schoolwork. Let's enjoy the night, Sakura.

Sakura: Yeah.. *giggles; realizes he knows her* Y-You know my name?

Sasuke: We've met before, right?

Sakura: *remembers the first aid session* Oh yes.. Um, Sasuke.. Sorry, but do you know where's the attendance sheet it? I haven't signed it yet.

Sasuke: *laughs* There's no such thing, Sakura. It's not a mandatory event. *pulls her closer*

Sakura: Oh.. *rests her face on his chest*

---

Sasuke: Don't you think you overdid it?

Tsunade: If I didn't say that attendance is a must, she won't go there!

Sasuke: And the blood?

Tsunade: It's just food coloring. I won't ever use real blood for that, that's hazardous.

Sasuke: Everything went well, so thank you, Aunt Tsunade.

Tsunade: Does my sister know about this?

Sasuke: *laughs* No, of course. She'll find it silly—

Sakura: Tsunade-sensei, I'm here! *sees Sasuke* S-Sasuke?

Sasuke: *waves at her*

Sakura: You're here?

Tsunade: My nephew just came here to give his payment for a job well done.

Sakura: Nephew?

Sasuke: Yeah. She's my aunt, Sakura.

Sakura: *sees the gifts on the table* The job must be hard for you to get gifts that many.

Tsunade: Well, he asked me to make sure he gets his Halloween Queen.

Sakura: ...What?

Sasuke: Sorry, Sakura. That's my only way to get close with you. I'm only known for my family and this Halloween thing.. I'm not interesting—

Sakura: What are you saying? You're the coolest student of this university..

Sasuke: I don't think so.. So I thought of asking my aunt to make sure that you'd wear your uniform to the event. Because I planned to wear a bloody doctor outfit.

Tsunade: And to spill some fake blood to make your uniform look like a halloween costume. *laughs*

Sakura: Th-That's fake? I threw my uniform away because it looked disgusting..

Sasuke: Sorry for that.. I'll get you a new one—

Sakura: N-No, it's fine.. Wait, so is that also the reason why you said that attendance is compulsary?

Tsunade: I couldn't think of anything that could make you go even if you didn't want to anymore.

Sasuke: I hope you're not mad, Sakura.. I really just—

Sakura: *laughs* I actually find it cute.. My only regret though is the ketchup bottle costume that my friends and I made.

Sasuke: I'll be your mustard anytime, Sakura.

Sakura: *blushes*

Tsunade: Ah, enough of the flirting. Just tell me you're dating now then leave.

Sasuke: We are. Thanks again, Aunt Tsunade. Bye! *places his arm over Sakura's shoulder*
