He follows the boy in front of him.

"Where are we going?" he asks.

The boy doesn't answer him and instead continues to lead the way.

"Why am I here?" he asks.

"To help us," the boy says.

They stop at a closed door. "This will be your room for now. Get some rest."

He walks inside the room and sits on one of the two beds. He's bored and confused. He doesn't know what to do or why he's here.

He doesn't notice the door opening.

"Choji?"

He stands up and turns around to face the person who had just called out his name.

"Shikamaru?" he says, "is that really you?"

Shikamaru nods and engulfs Choji into a hug.

"It's so good to see you man," Shikamaru says.

"Yeah. I missed you so much."

They both sit down on the bed. "What are you doing here?" they both ask at the same time.

"Get some rest, Choji," Shikamaru says, "I'll explain in the morning."

Choji nods. "Alright."

"You look like shit," he hears Shikamaru whisper, "but man is it good to see you again."
