A/N: Please note that this story is set in an AR where the characters are younger than they are in the original Prince of Tennis story. Also, this is my first story I have ever started writing so please make some nice reviews for a beginner writer.
Prologue – Wish upon a Shooting Star
It was cold. Much colder than that of any other days of January. It was January 14th; Sakuno's birthday. All she wanted was a cute little puppy for her birthday despite being too young to own a pet, but instead she was left alone for the day. It was as if everyone forgot about her birthday and ended up planning to do other things for the day. Her Birthday was as depressing for her as if she wouldn't have had anything to do for a day. Actually that's what her birthday this year was. Her grandmother wasn't around because she was coaching her tennis players at Seishun Gakuen. Sakuno's parents were never around either…she didn't have any siblings to play with so she was alone for the day. Not even a balloon was in place today, let alone a cake. She just laid on her couch the whole day watching cartoons that she had already had time to watch over her Winter Break. By the time she had gotten bored of watching those stale cartoons on TV, she was fascinated by the night sky. Guess what she saw? A shooting star. What a sight for a young girl of six years. Her pure mind was dazzled by how beautiful it was, its swiftness through the sky, the sparkles it left behind, heck even the shape of it. She didn't know the tale of "If you wish upon a star, your wish will come true." It was like the gods had wished her a happy birthday from above instead of the people on this earth. The shooting star was like her birthday candles, a substitute wish catcher. Not knowing of the tale, she made a wish:
"Please bring me a friend that'll be with me forever."
