Auditions for a new male pop group
Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis! Just the plot!
Sidus SM Entertainment is desperate to introduce a new male pop group in the public. They already assumed that the group will conquer not just Japan but also around Asia. But the problem is, they needed members for the group. They have other trainees with them but they are not fitted for the stats of the group. Sidus SM Entertainment decides to look for members by having an audition all over Japan.
"For those aspiring stars there, have an audition here at Sidus SM Entertainment!"
Momo read what the flyer had detailed. He was outside Seigaku's gate when it flew unto his face. He was sort of delighted to join the said audition. Sparks gleamed on his eyes and he was burning like a fire. He couldn't wait for the audition dates.
It is my chance to be known all over the world! I will be liked by many and many girls will rush to me just to sign an autograph to a good-looking star like me!
He was really desperate to join the auditions.
"I will practice my singing and dancing so that I will be chosen!" He shouted all over the place and pointed the sky, seeing the morning star twinkle. "I will keep this to my teammates so that they will be surprised when they saw me on TV."
He laughed evilly because of his plans and students who were entering the school were all staring at him because he was laughing like crazy.
"Is he crazy?" whispered one student to her friend.
"I think so." Her friend responded and let out a shrug, "Let's go before the school closes the gate."
"Okay."
The students who were all staring at the guffawing Momo noticed that the school's gate was going to be closed and locked. They rushed inside the school leaving Momo almost crazy because of his annoying guffaw.
Momo noticed that the students around him were already gone and the place were he was standing was already deserted.
"Where are they?" He was looking for his future fans when he found that the school gate was already closed and the worst of it, it was locked.
"What?!" His jaw dropped. "What am I going to do?!"
Momo was thinking a way how to enter the school without using the gate. If he will cut his classes, his mom would kill him and he'll be grounded from playing tennis.
He thought of jumping over the wall. It would bring pain to his butt but it can make him enter the school to prevent himself being grounded by his mom. And that's what he exactly did. He fell to the ground, hurting his butt. He rubbed it carefully so that it somehow eases the pain and then, stood straightly and brushed the dirt off his uniform. But his pain didn't fade away because he was caught by a teacher climbing through the wall to get into the school.
"God, help me." Momo mumbled to himself and scratched his head. He was now in trouble.
The teacher approached him and asked for his ID. Momo quickly shoved his hand into his pockets to pick his ID but all he found was his wallet and Sidus SM Entertainment's flyer.
OMG! Where's my ID???
Momo was really into a big trouble that can ruin his life.
"Hey kid, where's your ID?" asked the desperate teacher. He was scary.
"I-I don't have my ID." Momo stuttered as he was shuddering and thinking this can be the end of his Tennis career. Ryuzaki-sensei advised the regulars not to get late to school or forget his own ID or else. I'm going to die.
"You're going to school without your Identification?" The teacher hit Momo's head with a fan giving him a big lump on his head. 'It's better for you not to go to school than forgetting your ID."
"I'm sorry." Momo apologized as he was clutching his head.
"I'll take you somewhere." The teacher grabbed his collar and dragged him into the principal's office.
When they had reached the principal's office, the teacher accompanied him to a seat beside the principal's table. Momo sat there without any regrets and accepted his sin of being late to school and sneaking in. It's all because of the damned flyer that lost his track of not being late.
He turned his head to the principal and he was terrified to see a nice one than what he had expected to face a scary principal. People entered the room and shut the door close. Momo turned his head to them. Now, he's altogether horrified to see an angry Ryuzaki-sensei, an irritated adviser of his and a stoic face of Tezuka.
I'm dead…
"Sit down." ordered the kind principal. "Let's talk about this matter in a calm way."
Yes, in a calm way but Ryuzaki-sensei is about to fume. Momo didn't follow any of her rules.
"Okay, why are you late Mr.?" asked the ever calm principal and he didn't know Momo's name so he cut his sentence.
"I'm Takeshi Momoshiro."
"So, Mr. Momoshiro please explain us why you are late."
Momo didn't answer. He was thinking of what to explain because he didn't want them to know his secret plans about joining Sidus SM Entertainment.
"Momo!" Ryuzaki-sensei shouted at him to force him to give out his answer.
Momo sat straight upon hearing that and was terrified because he can hear Ryuzaki-sensei's angry mumble.
"I-I saved a dog from being drowned. That's it!" Momo lied to them and he was forced to tell a lie so that they will never ever know his plan. "And about the ID, I lost it when I rescued the drowning dog."
"Okay kid, that's bravery, but if you saved a dog from drowning, why is your uniform dry?"
"I brought another uniform in case of this." He lied again.
"Let's drop your detention." The principal forgave Momo and looked at the other people inside the office. "I dismiss this."
"Really?" Momo jumped from his seat delightfully not knowing that it made the flyer drop from his pocket. "Thanks!"
'Momoshiro-kun, I want to talk to you outside." Ryuzaki-sensei reminded him as she was clutching her fists. She walked outside and Momo followed her. Now, he was not yet rescued from this nightmare. Momo's homeroom adviser also left the office. Tezuka bowed at the principal telling thank you and goodbye. He was about to leave when he found a piece of paper under the chair where Momo sat. He picked it up to keep the cleanliness of the office. He was going to throw it when he knew it was a flyer from Sidus SM Entertaintment regarding those youngsters who want to audition.
"For those aspiring stars there, have an audition here at Sidus SM Entertainment." He read it quietly and this made him ponder why Momo would hold a flyer like that. He decided to fold and shoved it into his pocket.
"Why hasn't Momo-chan-senpai showed up?" Ryoma wondered as he was taking a sip on his ever-loved drink, Ponta.
"You're right. He's not yet here." Horio also noticed that.
All of the regulars were already at the Tennis courts except for Momo. No one knew where he was except for their buchou who really knew what happened to Momo. Everyone doesn't have any clue why Momo was not there and they were talking all about it.
"Where do you think Momo is?" Eiji asked Oishi while they were having an unofficial match. He returned the ball using his Kikumaru beam that Oishi didn't return because of its speed. Eiji was worried about his kouhai.
"15-0!" shouted the umpire.
"I don't know but I'm very worried about him." Oishi replied and gripped his racket.
"Don't worry about it." A voice entered into the courts. It was Ryuzaki-sensei and Tezuka was behind her. The regulars assembled in front of Ryuzaki-sensei while the other trainees were behind them. "Momo is all right. I just gave him a one-week punishment for being late and losing his ID."
"Poor Momo." Fuji sighed as he heard the news.
"Don't let it happen to all of you." Tezuka reminded his men. "You know already what will be going to happen."
"Continue your practice." Ryuzaki-sensei ordered them and walked off together with Tezuka.
"Are you going to miss him, Kaidoh?" Inui asked Kaidoh an annoying question.
"No I'm not!" Kaidoh shouted at him and walked off.
Tezuka was sitting in bench. He was examining the members how they practice. He put out a handkerchief from his pocket causing the folded flyer to fly away.
"Hoi, hoi!" Eiji was about to lob the ball that Oishi returned when the flyer flew into his face, missing the shot. The unfolded flyer covered his face and he immediately grabbed it.
"For those aspiring stars there, have an audition here at Sidus SM Entertainment!" Eiji read it aloud and Oishi was curious about that so he approached Eiji to read the details.
"What's that?" he asked eagerly.
"An audition for members for the new pop group Sidus SM Entertainment will introduce to the public."
"Ah…"
What if I join this audition? I have the guts! Eiji flashed out a happy grin. He will surely join the audition same with Oishi but they didn't inform this to each other.
After the practice, regulars walked in separate ways. Eiji decided to stop over an ice cream shop for a strawberry ice cream. He was the one holding the flyer. After buying the ice cream, a stranger bumped into him and dashed fast. He didn't even bother to apologize to the boy who was eating ice cream. The ice cream was dumped into Eiji's head causing him to chase the guy who did that.
"Hoi! Hoi!" Eiji was chasing the guy. He didn't notice that the flyer flew away somewhere. Again, another adventure for the audition flyer.
Sengoku was happily strolling along the busy streets of Tokyo when he stepped on something. He paused from walking and picked up the paper he had stepped on.
"What's this?" It's the flyer again. The same flyer which convinced Momo, Eiji and Oishi to join.
"For those aspiring stars there, have an audition here at Sidus SM Entertainment!"
The flyer had urged another youngster to join the audition.
"Lucky! I will join! Finally, my dreams will come true! Many girls will be my fans and they will love me!!" Sengoku yelled in full determination and he raised his arms causing the flyer, again flew for another adventure.
The flyer had flown into a red car. It was already crumpled. The female driver found it beside her. She held it and started reading it.
"I will convince Syusuke to join." She smirked and continued her driving. She was Fuji's older sister, Yumiko. She noticed a familiar person walking along the street and stopped right in front of him.
"Syusuke, hop in." she opened the car window.
Fuji found his sister and agreed with her so he jumped into the car. On the way home, Yumiko gave him the flyer she found.
'Read that."
"What's this?" Fuji took the flyer from his sister's hand.
"Just read."
'Okay." Fuji turned his attention to the flyer he was holding.
"For those aspiring stars there, have an audition here at Sidus SM Entertainment."
He read it and knew what his sister meant.
"You want me to join this?"
"Yes, I promise it will bring you fame. That's according to my cards."
"But-."
"No buts. Please do it for me. It will bring you a lot of fortune."
"Okay. I'll try my best."
"Audition date will be two days from now. So better get ready."
"How'd you know that? It's not given in this flyer."
"Remember, I can predict the future."
"So what will happen to me in this audition?"
"Aa." Yumiko refused to say but she already know it.
Later on, they reached home. Yumiko had parked her car in the garage and Fuji went straight to his room to rest. He flopped himself to his bed and switched on the television using the remote beside his bed. The TV flashed an advertisement about Sidus SM Entertainment. Fuji decided to set his eyes on the advertisement for more information.
Sengoku turned on the TV as soon as he got home; he was surprised to see an advertisement about Sidus SM Entertainment's auditions for male youngsters. He listed the details and he was already preparing for the upcoming auditions.
"Lucky! I will be lucky if I join this! Audition date will be two days from now so better get prepared."
"WHAT??!!!" Eiji yelled in their house finding out that the flyer was not in his pocket anymore. "I lost the flyer!"
"What flyer?" his sister asked.
"The flyer is the key for fame! It's a flyer for Sidus SM Entertainment's audition for members for a new pop group!" Eiji was about to cry that time but his sister made him not to continue his sob.
"Don't worry; I listed the details when I saw it on TV. I know you will try to join." Eiji's sister gave the notepad where she wrote the full details.
"Thank you Onesan!" He rushed to his sister and gave her a bear hug.
"Don't mention it." His sister just grinned.
Oishi had just finished feeding his fish when he heard Sidus SM Entertainment's advertisement on TV. He quickly dashed to the TV to know the details. Same with the other Seigaku regulars except Tezuka who saw it on TV. They wrote the details and it convinced them to try their luck in such audition.
Momo was trapped in his room. He was given a detention by his mom because of what he did badly in school; getting late, forgetting his ID and lying. Like Ryuzaki-sensei had given to him as punishment, he was also entitled to one-week grounded punishment.
"This is my destiny." Momo moaned as he was sunk into his bed. He had nothing to do but to watch TV. He turned it on and saw the advertisement like the others do.
"What? Audition date will be two days from now?!" Momo whined as he had quickly emerged from his bed. "But I'm One week grounded! What am I going to do?? Think Momo think!"
After those pains, he already had a plan how to get to the audition without his mom's knowledge. He then, flashed a big grin.
