"What creative threats are you proposing against our beloved Hokage now, Tenten?" Gai asked as he came up upon his team's picnic site. He had gotten a little distracted with Hinata and Sasuke, but Gai had made the effort to be punctual! Obito and Kakashi's bad habits were not entirely wearing off on him, surely! Besides, he had brought cupcakes! One for each student, nicely tied up in its own little personal box. The icing was very pink, but he was certain they would enjoy them.

He distributed a cupcake to each of them before taking a seat on the blanket. "You must not forget that he is well trained in and very creative with threats as well! He will not be an easy rival to defeat!"

It was so rare to see all three of them together again lately. So rare and he was so proud of them for arranging it and making it happen, irregardless of their schedules. His adorable children were growing up so fast and so beautifully. Gai sniffled.
