A.N: This is a remake of the scene in Prince Of Tennis episode 172 where Sakuno says goodbye to Ryoma when he leaves for America.

DISCLAIMER: I do not Own the P.O.T series. This is only my interpretation of how this episode should of went in the end.


If i don't hurry Ryoma-kun's plane will leave with out me giving him his present. thought Sukuno as she ran to the front of the airport and collapsed in front of the clock because it told her she was to late to say goodbye to Ryoma. Then she heard a voice. "You came to late." And there Ryoma was standing drinking that same Ponta he loves so much. The other guys on the tennis team (A.N: expect for Tezuka of course) started to whistle at the two of them. Ryoma had no idea what they meant when they were whistling at them and shouting at him to get closer to her. As this went on Sakuno was flushing to become a bright pinkie color.

"S-s-sorry I was late b-because I was looking for something to give to you before you left for America." she said shyly. Ryoma gave her a plank expression when she started to explain the gift to him. "You know the other day when you ask to keep the tennis ball?" Ryoma shook his head to show he was listening to her. "Well I got you this." Sakuno took out a tennis ball with writing that said 'National NO.1' on it.

"Uh? Im not going to the national tournament though" Ryoma said flatly.

"It's not for the National Tournament though. It's for Being NO.1 in the whole world because..." Sakuno paused to gain her courage to say the last part. "I know you can do it Ryoma-Kun!" The the next thing she did shocked everyone there. Sakuno then kissed Ryoma on the check with a blush on her face. Ryoma looked more shocked than everyone there he started to blush and stammer on his words.

"U-u-um t-t-thanks for the gift." Ryoma the walked off and when he passed all his senpais were staring at him with wide smiles and making fun of him for blushing at Sakuno kissing him. When he sees Sakuno watching him leave he whispers to himself "I'll tell you when I come back how much you mean to me." Then Ryoma boards the plane for the U.S Open tournament.
