"RYOMA-SAMA!! OVER HERE!" Tomochan yelled. Ryoma and Momo walked towards her. Sakuno blushed when she saw Ryoma. Ryoma looked at his shoes instead of looking at her.

"Where are the others??" Momo asked.

"Bad news," Tomochan began. "Oishi, Fuji, Kawamura and Kikumaru couldn't make it because something cropped up for all the senior students. The three freshmen Horio, Kachirou and Katsuo couldn't make it too because they had to finish their school project. Kaidoh just didn't want to come."

"Ack!" Momo cried. "So who else are coming?"

"Ann said she will be here in about 5 mins," Sakuno said. Momo turned pale.

"Who invited her?" Momo demanded.

"I thought you invited her Momo-senpai!" Ryoma said. Momo laughed.

"I don't remember," Momo said.

"I'm the one who invited her!" Tomochan cried. "Because she really wanted to see the new shopping mall!"

"Eeee!" Momo cried. Ryoma looked at him weirdly.

"I thought you guys are dating?" Ryoma asked. Momo covered his mouth.

"ECHIZEN!" Momo yelled.

"Hi!" Ann said brightly.

"Hello, Ann!!" Sakuno and Tomochan said together.

"Hello, Momoshiro!" Ann said, smiling widely.

"Hihi!" Momo said and laughed stupidly.

"Ah Ryoma-kun is here too!" Ann said.

"Mada mada dane," Ryoma answered.

"Okay! Let's not waste anymore time! Let's check out the new mall! I heard there were some good tennis shops!" Tomochan said. The gang entered the new shopping mall. It was pretty crowded because everyone wanted to check out the new mall. They saw several familiar faces.

"Oi, Yuuta-kun!" Momo yelled at Fuji's younger brother. Yuuta ignored him and stared at Ryoma. Ryoma pretended not to see him.

"Look! It's that Sengoku guy!" Momo said to the gang. "Ack! Check out! That's Sanada and Kirihara! They must have wanted to check out the new tennis stores!"

"Momo-senpai! Mada mada dane!" Ryoma scolded.

"Shut up, Echizen! Can't you see I'm trying to impress Ann with my knowledge of our rivals??" Momo whispered to Ryoma. Ryoma sighed. The three girls had dragged them to some accessories shop. Ryoma just wanted to see the tennis shops and then head home but the three girls seemed to be trying on all of the necklaces and earrings. Ryoma sighed. He regretted coming with the girls. He could have just gone with Momo or the other guys on some other days.

"Oi, isn't that your good pal, Atobe?" Momo asked suddenly. Ryoma looked at his direction and he spotted the giant Kabaji first before spotting Atobe. Both Kabaji and Atobe spotted them too.

"Ah, Seigaku," Atobe said coolly. He peered into the accessories shop to see Ann, Sakuno and Tomochan giggling over some earrings. "Ah, what are those pretty girls doing with losers like the two of you?"

"Loser??" Momo repeated. "Hoi, Echizen, I think Atobe is just jealous because he is dating a gorilla lookalike!"

Atobe was insulted. Kabaji remained cool as usual.

"You think you are so smart, eh Mr Dunk Smash?" Atobe said.

"Hee! The two of you looked like a good couple!" Momo said laughing. "Right, Echizen?"

"Usu!" Ryoma said, mimicking Kabaji. Atobe's face darkened.

"Come on, Kabaji. Let's not waste anymore time talking with a bunch of losers! Let's go shopping!" Atobe said. He walked away with Kabaji following him like a loyal puppy.

"Hey, Momo-senpai is in a good mood today!" Ryoma said. Momo just laughed.

The girls spend three hours in the accessories shop and only Tomochan bought something. Ryoma and Momo just shook their heads in disbelief.

"Okay, girls! Let's check out the tennis-," Momo begun.

"HEEYAH!! LET'S CHECK OUT THAT SHOP!" Tomochan yelled. The three girls ran to a shop that sell cutesy toys and stationeries.

"Mada mada dane!" Ryoma said, slightly irritated.

It was almost dinnertime when the girls finished with the shop. This time, each of the girls bought something.

"Let's go eat! I think I am beginning to starve!" Momo cried. They decided to eat at McDonald's.

"Oh sorry," Sakuno said. "It's only an hour left before the shops closed! You guys have not even visited the tennis shops!"

"Mmm," Ryoma said. "Who's fault is that?"

"Don't worry, Ryoma-sama, Momochan-senpai! We can make it! Come on, girls! Let's eat as fast as we could so the guys could shop longer!" Tomochan said. They finished their food quickly and hurried to the first tennis shop they see. It was a huge shop and it was pretty crowded.

"At this rate, we won't get to see anything!" Momo yelled. Momo headed out to the shoes area with Ann while Ryoma, Sakuno and Tomochan went to the clothing area. They had to practically struggle their way through because it was too crowded.

"Ah no!" Sakuno cried when she stepped on something hard. She looked up to see Atobe glaring at her.

"Ah! Seigaku!" Atobe said. He looked at his new sports shoes. There was an ugly brown patch on it.

"I'm so sorry!" Sakuno said. She had tears in her eyes.

"Why are you apologizing?" Ryoma asked. "He deserved it. He was in your way!"

Atobe glared at him. "Why you little piece of-"

"Oi, are you picking on my juniors?" Momo asked. Both he and Ann glared at Atobe. Atobe wished Kabaji was there to protect him but Kabaji had left earlier because he wanted to have dinner with his family. Now Atobe had to depend on himself.

"Look at what she did to my shoes!" Atobe said, pointing to his shoes. "These are barnd new!"

"Let's have a match to settle this then!" Momo cried.

"What idiotic thinking is that?" Both Ryoma and Atobe yelled.

"Oi, Ryoma-sama! Gambate!" Tomochan cried. "Beat the Monkey King up!"

Ryoma looked at Atobe. Must they have a match?

"Ah no!" Sakuno began. "I am so sorry, Atobe-san! Please forgive me! Please don't fight!"

"There isn't a tennis court in this shopping mall but I know of a place where we both can settle this!" Atobe declared.

"Mada mada dane!" Ryoma answered. Atobe looked ready for a match and Ryoma could not refuse him. Atobe was a good tennis player.

"Yeah! Ryoma-sama and Atobe-sama having a match!" Tomochan yelled.

"Momoshiro! Do something!" Ann yelled. "Stop this! This is crazy!"

"No, Ann-chan," Momo said, looking really serious. "The two idiots can't be stopped now."

Atobe brought Ryoma and the gang to the stairwell. There was a huge vacant area which doubles up as a smoking area. The place was just as big as a tennis court and there wasn't anyone there. The three girls took a seat at the stairs while Momo acted as the umpire.

"Atobe, service!" Momo said.

"Ha! Shitty, Echizen! I am honoured to play with you again! Luckily I brought my racket! Maybe it's fate!" Atobe said. He pointed a finger at Ryoma. "I shall win today! Be prepared!"

"Eh," Ryoma said. "Luckily I brought my racket too! Can you serve already?"

Atobe served and Ryoma returned the ball quickly.

"Love, fifteen!" Momo said.

"Ah no! This is all my fault!" Sakuno said. "This is bad, Tomochan!!"

"Don't worry! Ryoma-kun won't lose to the Monkey King!" Tomochan said. "RYOMA-SAMA! GAMBATE!"

"Tomochan! That's not what I mean!" Sakuno said. Tomochan didn't seem to hear her because she was busy cheering for Ryoma.

"Ah, good return shitty Echizen but that will be the only point you will get today! I shall not let you score anymore!" Atobe said, coolly. "I win!!"

"Eh? Can you please talk less and hurry up and serve?" Ryoma asked. Atobe's face darkened.

"You asked for it!" Atobe said as he began to serve. He was about to hit the ball when suddenly all the lights went out.

"EEEEEEEEEE!" the three girls yelled as they hugged each other. It was totally dark. Only the red Exit light could be seen.

"Oi, Echizen? What do you think happened?" Momo asked. Ryoma squinted in the darkness. A few seconds passed and his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. He saw the three girls hugging each other in fear. Atobe looked worried and Momo looked a bit scared.

"I think it's a blackout!" Ryoma said.

"Oi, shitty Echizen!" Atobe said. "I think this shopping mall is closed! And I think we are locked in!"

"LOCKED IN!" the girls cried.

"Oi, Atobe! Don't scare the girls!" Momo scolded. Momo walked to the EXIT door and tried to open it. It was locked. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WE ARE REALLY LOCKED IN!!!!!!!!!!"

Ryoma kept his tennis racket and walked towards the girls. Atobe sighed and kept his racket too.

"What are we supposed to do?" Sakuno asked Ryoma. Ryoma shook his head.


Hee... locked in a shopping mall! How did I ever come up with that idea? Hee please wait for the second chapter!
