Author Notes: There's going to most likely be shonen-ai stuck in here somewhere only because it's hard for me to restrain myself from boy-love with an anime with so many wonderful boyxboy pairings!!!

I'm also sorry if this has already been done. It was just something that popped into my mind. Oh and I do not own Prince of tennis.

Summary: Atobe becomes poor, mere commoner, a worthless, good-for-nothing, broke, useless bum. So now he needs his friends and enemies to show him the way of a normal lifestyle. And slowly Atobe finds himself making more friends. If he does gain back his wealth, will his friends remain his friends?


Atobe was calmly floating in his pool with his pimp sunglasses and he was happily looking to the sky. Kabaji was playing with Mr. Fluffles nearby. It was nice and peaceful like nothing in the world was wrong. "Young master," the butler called out. "Your father would like to speak with you." Atobe was shocked. Why would his father want to talk to him? It was so sudden. Usually Atobe would have to make an appointment but no, he could just walk over and speak to his father. He knew that it would be awkward.

After getting dressed in proper clothing to speak with his father he went into his father's office. His mother was there crying next to his dad. "What's wrong?" Atobe asked afraid that it had something to do with money it was…as if he could just sense it. His father was weeping. "Keigo…I am sorry to say but…"

OO ...OO...OO...OO...OO ...OO...OO...OO...OO ...OO...OO...OO...OO ...OO...OO...OO...OO ...OO...OO...OO...

Atobe came walking back towards the pool swaying back and forth in an almost zombie like way. He mumbled blasphemous words as he wobbled. On his journey he had accidentally fell in. He didn't come back up until a minute and a half later when Kabaji decided he was committing suicide and considered stopping him. Though exposed to air the male diva was not breathing. Kabaji took in a deep breath prepared to begin CPR.

Atobe jumped up. "Ack! No! Don't even think about it! I don't even care if I'm three seconds away from dying and you're the only one to save me! Do not do that! It would be awkward and odd just being around you for the rest of my life! Though I do appreciate the fact that you would save me, the thought of you doing that is just…repulsive." Kabaji nodded, understanding completely. Atobe sighed. "Kabaji…we have a big problem."


Ryoma was eating his breakfast and comfortably kicking his feet when he noticed the newspaper his father was looking at. It had something interesting on it. Something that just caught his eye. It was a name, a familiar one. Atobe. He read the whole heading.

ATOBE FAMILY AT LOSS. RICH GONE BROKE.

Ryoma almost choked on his food and he fell backwards. "He's…"


Momoshiro was pointing at the television laughing. "Ha! Ha! Broke! Ha! The 'Great Atobe' BROKE! HA!"
Kawamura, Inui, Tezuka, and Fuji (I have no idea why they were all out together in public! Maybe... Kawamura was making deliveries or whatever and, um, Inui was getting ingredients for Inui juice and, um, …Fuji and Tezuka were in the middle of a date! Kawaii!) were passing by an electronics store and noticed the eye-catching story on. "Hm?" They stopped and watched. Tezuka seemed unaffected as did Fuji but they both had feelings of pity, victory, and so much more. Kawamura had the anime sweat drop as Inui nodded.
Kaidoh gaped at what he was hearing. "No way!" he spat at the phone. "It's true!" Eiji said on the other end. Kaidoh blinked. "Whoa…" he gasped. "I know! We didn't believe it either!" Oishi informed. "But it's true! Atobe! Atobe Keigo's family has no money at all! He's dead, flat, stinking broke!"
I know short but... I just... GOMENASAI!
