Discliamer: Don't own Prince of Tennis. Only Konomi-sensei has that privelage.
Okay people this is my first fanfic so please go easy on me. I'm really bad at summaries. The time period is set 3 years after the national tournament so they're all in high school. The characters are probably going to be really OOC because I'm new so I'm not really good at this. Please review. It would really help me improve.

Chaos With Some Love- Chapter 1:FINALS!
--Pok--
Man time sure has gone by. It's been three years since the National Tournament right...
--Pok--
Three years have gone by but even in high school sempai-tachi still haven't changed have they.
--Pok--
In fact...I think they have gotten more annoying...

Echizen Ryoma was hitting a tennis ball against the wall for a little before practice warm up. He was carefree and laid back as usual. But his teammates are not like him. In the tennis clubroom, the Golden pair talk about something that is more important to them.
"Nyaaa! The finals are coming up in a month! What am I going to do~ I haven't studied one it!"
"Eiji, what have you been doing? If you don't pass these exams you won't be able to graduate."
"Oh shut up Oishi! You have it tougher that I do because you're going to a harder college so that you can become a doctor. Don't tell me you aren't worried too!"
"Well that's true but…"
"Saa, how odd seeing you guys fight."
"Fuji sempai's right. It's not good to fight. No it is not…"
"Fuji, Momo!"
"What have you guys been talking about" said Fuji.
Kikumaru replied. "Just about the upcoming finals. How are you guys doing?"
"Oh yeah, apparently they are supposed to be really hard this year" exclaimed Momo.
"What am I going to do!" screamed the boy.
"Well if you cram bit by bit from today till test day you might be able to scrape a passing grade" replied a voice from behind.
"WAAAAH! Inui don't scare me!"
"It's easy to scare you Eiji" replied Kawamura as he entered with the silent Kaidoh.
"Here Taka-san" smiled Fuji, giving him a racket.
"HORA HORA HORA! Get pumped for these finals and start preparing! Don't Dawdle!"
"WAH Taka-san is scary!" Kikumaru yelled, ducking for cover.
"Taka-san calm down!" Oishi exclaimed worry drowning his voice.
"Taka-san has 68.937% more energy because of the stress from finals…" calculated Inui.
"Yo mamushi how's the studying?" asked Momoshiro.
"None of your business" hissed Kaidoh.
"What did you say" retorted Momo.
"Wanna fight do ya!" slithered Kaidoh.
In the middle of all this chaos, Fuji merely smiled and leaned against a wall, watching this whole mess that he himself created. Meanwhile a cat-eyed prince was napping under a tree avoiding all the chaos to come. After many long moments of screaming and crashing, Tezuka with his aura of authority came into the clubroom being destroyed by Seigaku's tennis team's pride and joy, the regulars.
"Everyone 30 laps around the courts" ordered Tezuka
"………………………"
"Why do we have to run laps when we don't have practice!?" (1)
A freshman girl with long pigtails runs around the campus of the school trying to find the teachers lounge.
"I can't believe I've been at this school for almost a year, and I still can't find my way around!" cried Sakuno.
As she turned the corner a glimmer caught her eye.
"Ryoma-kun!"
The cat-eyed boy was sleeping silently under a shady tree with his hat askew and his always present bottle of Ponta empty. That is what caught Sakuno's eye. The bottle had rolled down and caught part of the sun's rays before coming to a stop at Sakuno's feet. For a few moments, Sakuno stared at her prince noticing how peaceful and unguarded he looked when he was sleeping. The childish Ryoma had now grown into something more than just cute. He was a handsome boy with his wild green hair now reaching his chin. His facial features had curved and sharpened up while his body is also shaped by his physical training. He was the school's most wanted bachelor. Yet when he's sleeping you can't help but marvel at how this small boy can handle all that pressure from all the press and pros trying to get a tennis match from him. Sakuno suddenly realized at how far away Ryoma was and that really depressed her. But she remembered her appointment with her grandmother and raced ahead. With a last glimpse, she turned the corner with a heavy heart.
"I'm going to be late!" Sakuno screamed as she passed the tennis courts. In her hurry she bumped into an unexpected person.
"Oh be careful. You can't get hurt. No you can't"
"Momoshiro-sempai!"
"What's all the rush?"
"I have to go to Grandma's office but I can't find it."
"We'll go ask Inui-sempai. He must know. They're in the clubroom cooling down from the laps Tezuka-buchou made us run for being too noisy."
"Ah Tezuka-sempai is still so mean." (2)
"Tell me about it. Oi minna! Do you know where baa-san's office is? Sakuno-chan is trying to find it."
"It should be room 201" replied Inui, still writing Kami knows what in his notebook.
"Oh thank you sempai!" exclaimed Sakuno.
"How lucky you can be carefree like that Sakuno-chan." crooned Kikumaru clinging onto said girl.
"Ano…What's wrong with Kikumaru-sempai?" wondered Sakuno.
"Actually we're all worried about the upcoming finals. Even Tezuka and Inui are worried." explained Oishi.
"Don't remind me!" groaned Kikumaru going off to sulk in a corner.
"Ano…Is it all right if I help?" asked Sakuno.
"WHAT!" came the reply from 7 regulars and a surprised look from Tezuka.
"Well, I'm the best in the class. My grandma wanted me to explore the possibilities and put me in several upper classes which I aced. So you see, if you need it, I can help you."
-- Dead Silence--
"If you don't want it, then that's okay too. I can-"
"WE WANT IT!" screamed all the regulars but Tezuka, who simply nodded in approval.
"This is something new to look into" said Inui as he dived behind his notebook.
"Fushuu… it's amazing how smart you are" complimented Kaidoh.
"Exactly. Very nice" commented Fuji.
"Yes, yes thanks so much!" exclaimed Oishi.
"BURNING! WE CAN DO THIS!!" screamed Kawamura brandishing his racket.
"BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! Kikumaru and Momoshiro bounded into the air screaming for joy.
"Then, I'll meet you all at my house this Sunday at 10? I can prepare lunch and we can continue afterward." exclaimed Sakuno.
"Yes! Thanks so much! All the regulars replied in unison to show their gratitude.
"Oh and Sakuno-chan, I'll make sure to bring Echizen too" winked Momo.
Sakuno blushed a bright red as she hurried out the door.
"Sakuno you're late!" cried Ryuzaki-sensei.
"Gomen baa-chan. But you'll never believe what just happened…" replied Sakuno as she closed the door to the office.
Like I said people not my best work but please review to help me! Thanks so much! And if you guys don't get anything then please feel free to tell me!
(1) It is a Saturday in the late afternoon. They just happen to all come to the courts and then to the rooms.
(2) Now that it's been three years since Sakuno and all the regulars met, they are all really close and act as the older brothers that Sakuno never had. They all call Sakuno as Sakuno-chan except for Ryoma.
