Hey guys! Welcome to my very first story!! applause applause YAY! I know it took me forever to do it up cause I was lazy, I admit but it's the hols and I really want to do one as a gift to everyone!! So! YOU SHOULD AND MUST REVIEW!! Please and thank you!

Disclaimer: as usual, I do not own prince of tennis BUT! I own my OCs so, please be kind to them and dun hate them!

( OC's POV)

"I know it's impossible but I saw it with my 2 very own eyes."

Welcome to the usual post-afternoon training "team talk" specially created by the regulars. "I'm serious! I would never joke about such a thing. NEVER." The overly hyper-active acrobatic player of Seigaku declared. He punched his fists in the air and shook them like he just didn't care.

"She whacked the ball like this but it turned out to be a special disappearing move and Kim- chan knew that she knew that Kim- chan knew that it was her special move so a smash would not be able to help her counter attack but she was smart enough to counter it with Fujiko's move; the HIGUMA OTOSHI!"

Confused? Maybe a little stunned? Well, that is exactly how the regulars feel right now. Eiji's vigorous and big movements were just enough to scare the regulars from Tokyo to South Africa. By FOOT. Not to mention me!

Oops! Sorry for overly confusing you! Maybe I should start off by introducing myself first. Hi! I'm Olivia Suzuki Erika. I know it's weird for an American girl to have a Japanese surname and an English middle name and all but hey, that's who I am! LIVE WITH IT. I migrated to Japan from the states approximately a whole year ago. Believe me it was no day at the beach coming to Japan with little knowledge of both the language and the style of living here!

Of course, I must thank the regulars for helping me get use to the life here! Especially Fuji! Even though he is a little bit eccentric but it's in a cute way! The guys were really sweet to me all these times! Getting me out of trouble when I fall asleep in class and all!

Oh! You might still be asking what my connection with the guys and all is. It's simple really. I'm Tezuka Kunimitsu's very own father's father's daughter's husband's daughter's sister! In short, I'm Tezuka's cousin!

Yup! It's true. I'm ice block's cousin. Didn't expect him to have such a fun cousin, huh? Me neither! He may be a little cold sometimes, but when you get closer to him, he really isn't that bad!

Man! I kept talking I forgot to get back to the point! Sorry! Talking way out of point and confusing people when I can give a simple answer, it's a habit. My bad! Anyway, what is Eiji really talking about? Seriously, I don't get it either.

"Kikumaru senpai, if you keep talking like that, no one would even bother listening to you anymore." Echizen, the voice of sanity spoke up.

"Eiji, I have to agree with Echizen on this one." Fuji said.

"I second that!" Momo added.

"Third that." The very much vexed Kaidou and Kawamura said it together with much unity.

"Sorry Eiji, but I forth that." The usually understanding Oishi said.

"Me too." Everyone turned around and to their surprise; they found Tezuka standing behind them. The Tezuka did not know something? And why is he even here anyway? He normally avoids the "team talk" even if it costs his own life.

"TEZUKA!" "TEZUKA BUCHOU!" "EHH?"

"What?" the Seigaku stoic captain replied.

"Err. NEVERMIND!" everyone said in unison.

"…"

"BACK TO THE POINT! You guys! That's plain evil! Fuji! Momo! Kaidou! Taka-san! Oishi! Buchou mo!!" It was as if he suddenly remembered to mention someone's name, Eiji slowly turns to me. "Hey don't look at me! I didn't say anything!" I exclaimed. "Though what they said does makes a lot of sense..." I added quietly.

"I heard that!!"

Snap! I keep forgetting he has super human hearing and eye sight!

"Hey Inui. You didn't say anything. You know something?" Fuji suddenly stated. Everyone turned to look at him. His specs glinted in the sunlight. "As a matter of fact, yes. I do."

"YES! FINALLY!" everyone exclaimed.

"Just now Eiji and I went to the girls' courts to talk to Ryuzaki sensei for awhile and just happened to see a foreigner step into the girls' courts. She asked Kimoto- san something but we couldn't hear anything because of the huge distance away from the courts. Then the girl walked to the other side of the court and took out a tennis racket and played a match with Kimoto- san. The outcome was very unusual though."

"What? What was the score?" Momo asked.

Eiji's face went all serious. "6 games to 2 with the foreigner as the winner."

There was moment of silence before I decided to break it.

"I am going to take a look at Kimoto- chan." And I ran off. "I'll go with her." And Fuji ran after me. It was quite impossible. Kimoto- chan is the captain and ace of the girls' team. She was at the boys' team's regulars' level. I dun even want to know how shocked and heartbroken she will be. Not to mention the rest of the team. I switched to brisk walking. I can't let my best friend get hurt!

"Err. So, is it really that difficult to understand what I say?" Eiji asked out of the blue. The rest of them fell side ways without even answering him.

Then there was a sudden tap on my shoulder. "Fuji?" I questioned him. "You can't take it, can you?" Fuji asked. Unknowingly, tears started welling in my eyes and tears started flowing down my cheeks causing them to get damp.

"Kimoto- chan is my best friend here and my first! But I can't possibly blame the girl for being better than her! It's just a little shocking but I can take it. I'm not too sure about Kimoto- chan though." I stated my case. Fuji smiled as usual. "Of course you can't blame her but I am sure you can solve this whole problem by encouraging Kimoto- san with your usual happy, carefree smile."

That's what I like so much about Fuji. He always knows what to say to put me back on my feet and smile again. At least his fanclub exists for a valid reason. Totally unlike Tezuka's!

I thanked Fuji before running ahead to the girls' courts. Thankfully practice just ended so that means I can talk to Kimoto- chan in private and hopefully peace.

"PRACTICE ENDS HERE! YOU ARE FREE TO CHANGE BEFORE YOU GO!"

That's my queue! "Kimoto- chan!" I ran into the courts waving my hands around. "Erika- chan!"

We sat down on the nearby tennis courts' bench to talk. "I guess you heard about it, huh?" Kimoto- chan started before I could say anything. I shrugged as an answer her question. "I guessed so. Eiji must have told you. Or rather tried to!" She giggled. I laughed too. But I never kept wondering how she could be so happy! She actually was happy! And I know her long enough to know that she wasn't acting tough.

"You don't seem upset!" I voiced my question. "Of course not! I can't be best in the world, can I? Besides, I have a challenge now! To beat that girl in tennis! And of course, you!" she ended that sentence with a wink. "Now that I think of it, she looks like your worthy opponent!" she added.

"KIMOTO MEGUMI- CHAN!!"

"Sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. I need to talk about it once in a while or I won't be able to keep it a secret to everyone else." She said shrugging happily.

"Fine! But only to me! You are only allowed to talk about it in front of me!" I exclaimed.

"Hai, hai!"

"Come to think of it, waiting for you makes me hungry." I said rubbing my tummy. "Oh alright, blame me for talking about it! I'll treat you to lunch!" Kimoto- chan sighed. "YOSH! I am going to eat till I drop!" I smiled happily. I love it when I make them feel guilty till they give in to my requests!

"I'll meet you at the boys' courts after you change! I need to get my stuff anyway." I shouted to my back as I walked to courts.

(usual POV)

Back at the boys' courts—

"Tezuka, worried about Erika- chan? Or are you worried about someone else?" Fuji stood beside the stoic captain with his hands behind his back. Tezuka raised his eye brows and turned to look at the team's sadist. Fuji just stood there smiling innocently or in actual acting innocent. Everyone knew when Fuji smiled like that, they were in major trouble. And Tezuka was no exception.

"Fuji."

"Yes? Tezuka?"

"20 laps."

Lucky for Tezuka, he could chase Fuji away with his famous trademark, making him run laps.

"Tezuka!"

Tezuka saw Erika running up to him. "Why is Fuji still running laps? Didn't training end like 15 mins ago? You must have made him. What did he do this time?"

"Something he shouldn't have. Now why are you so late? I was waiting for you."

"Really? Or were you waiting for someone else?" I smirked.

A vein pop appeared on his forehead.

"Erika."

"Ya?"

"20 laps. NOW."

"Erika- chan!"

"Oh. Fuji!"

"He made you runs laps?"

"Yes. You too?"

"No. He didn't. I just wanted to run because it is SO TOTALLY AIMLESS!" A sweat drop appeared on the side of his head.

"Ok. I get the sarcasm. Let me guess, you teased him about Kimoto- san?"

"Aha. But it was so worth it. Hey! Wait a min." She suddenly stopped on her tracks. "I am not even in the team! Why am I running?" and she walked off.

Hmm. She is the first one who defied Tezuka torturing demands. Oh well. Just like Olivia Suzuki Erika. Fuji thought before running off.

Just as Erika walked towards Tezuka, Kimoto arrived at the courts. "Oh Kimoto- chan!" That very name made Tezuka and Fuji who was pretty much far away to look. Fuji smirked and raised his pace.
