Chapter 1: Gakuen sai!

"Hoi hoi! Why did buchou call us here nya? Oishi won't tell me! There must be something!" Eiji was jumping up and down excitedly in the Seigaku tennis club room.

"Even Oishi-senpai did not tell Eiji-senpai. There must be something exciting!" Momoshiro joined in.

Eiji and Momoshiro began speculating noisily on what the captain and vice-captain of the Seigaku tennis wanted to tell them. They came up with every single thing, from "tennis team would be disbanded", "Tezuka's going to get married" to "Inui's juice had become the official school drink" and "Oishi has gotten in trouble for getting romantically involved with a female teacher".

"Oishi didn't tell me nya!" Eiji was indignant his double's partner did not tell him of his "relationship".

"It may not be true Eiji-senpai! It may be because…" Momoshiro started.

"Fsshuu!"

"What Mamushi? Is there anything wrong?" Momoshiro turned to face Kaidoh angrily.

"What? You want a fight?" Kaidoh replied with a scary look on his face.

Momoshiro and Kaidoh got into one of their fights again. Kawamura tried to stop them while Eiji was bouncing up and down, cheering his two kouhais on. Fuji just looked at them with his usual smile plastered on his face. Ryoma was trying to sleep and was irritated by the commotion his senpais were causing.

"Mada mada da ne. Can't they be any softer? I'm trying to sleep here. And why did Tezuka buchou call me here? I have better things to do than to witness my childish senpai-tachi fight!" Ryoma thought.

Just then, Ryuuzaki-sensei entered the room, followed by Tezuka, Oishi and Inui.

"Get to your places, NOW!" Tezuka ordered.

Everyone obediently followed their buchou's orders. Nobody wanted to run laps as punishment.

"I'll leave it to you Tezuka." Ryuuzaki-sensei beckoned to Tezuka.

Tezuka nodded and took over the session. "I have called you here today because the school has decided to hold a gakuen sai and every club is to present something for it." Tezuka was straight to the point.

Eiji bounced excitedly at the news. "Gakuen sai! Gakuen sai!" He was stopped by a stern stare from Tezuka.

"The Seigaku tennis club is to present a play." Tezuka continued. "I shall let Oishi to fill you in on the details."

Oishi took over from Tezuka. "The play we are going to present is Cinderella!"

There was silence in the room. It was Momoshiro who broke the silence.

"Senpai, does that mean we have to cross-dress?" Momoshiro asked in disbelief. "Echizen is all right since he is an 'ochibi', but the rest of us are full-grown men!" His comments drew a fierce glare from Ryoma.

"I knew some of you would be thinking of this question." It was Inui. "The school wanted us to use our creativity and we should adapt the play from the original story."

"With this," Inui continued. " I shall welcome the director of the play, Horio and his co-directors Katsuo and Kachiro!"

Horio entered the room followed by Katsuo and Kachiro. Horio cleared his throat.

"With my 2 years of directing experience, I shall bring to senpai-tachi a play I created painstakingly. It shall be the best play of the gakuen sai! It…"

Horio was cut off by Ryoma. "Get to the point already."

Horio glared at Echizen before starting: "The name of the play is Cinderguy! Instead of a princess in distress, it will now be a prince in distress! And instead of evil stepsisters, he will have evil stepbrothers; instead of an evil stepmother he will have an evil stepfather! And instead…"

Ryoma cut Horio off again. "So it's just the gender that is reversed."

"Ye…yes." Horio blushed. He vowed to get back at Ryoma later.

Oishi seeing that Horio was embarrassed quickly said: "Now we shall choose the characters for Cinderguy!"

Inui took out a box. "This box has our names in it. Whoever's name is picked will have to play the role assigned to them." Inui addressed the regulars.

"For the leading man, the role of Cinderguy goes to…" Oishi started while Ryuuzaki-sensei reached into the box and pulled out a piece of paper. She gave it to Oishi.

Oishi unfolded the piece of paper. "Echizen!"

"Ii ne Echizen!" Momoshiro patted, or slapped Ryoma on the back.

"Wow! You're so lucky Ochibi!" Eiji joined in.

"Yadda."

"Echizen, you are chosen to play the role of Cinderguy." Oishi said to Ryoma.

"Yadda." Ryoma repeated.

"But Echizen…" Oishi was trying to persuade.

"Echizen!" a deep baritone voice called out. "Do it or run 200 laps everyday!" Tezuka was showing no mercy to the stubborn tennis prince.

"Yadda." Ryoma repeated. "Why do with have to do this buchou? Why can't we sell takoyaki or give tennis lessons? Why must we have this play?"

"The school ordered it. Other sports clubs are doing it too Echizen. You will do it or go for 200 laps everyday!" Tezuka replied, his poker face darker than ever.

"Yadda. I'll rather run 200 laps everyday than waste my time doing this. Anyway it helps in my tennis." Ryoma said stubbornly.

"If you don't do it," Inui said in a creepy voice. "Then you will have to drink up my newest invention, Penal-tea Cinderguy remix. Two cups everyday. It'll help in your tennis." Inui brought out a full glass of ghastly-looking liquid.

Ryoma's face changed immediately after looking at the glass. The rest of the people in the room sweat-dropped.

"Hoi Ochibi! You better think twice!" Eiji tried to dissuade his stubborn kouhai.

"Echizen! Just agree to it! You'll DIE if you ever drink that!" Momoshiro chipped in.

"Actually it's not that bad Echizen." Inui said. "You can have my Penal-tea Cinderguy remix everyday and you can be the first one to try my new drinks! Hehe…" Inui smiled evilly. "You can be my guinea pig. Isn't that good Echizen? The probability that both of us will benefit is 85 percent… That's not bad Echizen. Decline the offer."

Ryoma on hearing this immediately agreed to play the role of Cinderguy. "It beats having to drink that strange stuff everyday! At least I'll live." he thought.

"Next will be the evil stepfather. And it is……Fuji?" Oishi looked at the piece of paper with Fuji's name then at Fuji.

Fuji had his trademark smile on his face. "All right, I'll take it."

No one knew what sadistic ideas he had in his head. Everyone in the room thought the same thing: "Fuji really suits the role…"

The roles were announced one by one. The three evil stepbrothers are Eiji, Momoshiro and Kawamura.

"Woo! I'm gonna do a good job nya!" Eiji said excitedly.

"Yeah, me too!" Momoshiro added.

"I hope I can do a good job…" Kawamura said shyly, scratching his head. Fuji passed him a racket.

"HORA HORA BURNING! Bring it on! Evil stepbrother!" Kawamura entered his "burning mode" and swung his racket wildly around.

"Ta…Taka-san! Calm down!" Oishi tried to calm Kawamura down and snatched the racket away from him.

"Eh?" Kawamura scratched his head uncertainly.

"Er…Oh… Next we have the role of the fairy godfather. And it is…" Oishi did not continue.

"Who is it Oishi-senpai?" Momoshiro asked curiously.

"It is…Tezuka…" Oishi revealed, half afraid.

Silence prevailed in the room once more. Nobody dared to laugh or even giggle. Ryoma and Kaidoh had their eyes wide open in disbelief. Eiji and Momoshiro were trying to stifle their laughters, their chairs rocking from side to side. They only stopped when they noticed Tezuka was giving them a death glare. However, it was evident that their faces were red. Fuji was smiling as always and even dared to let out a small laughter. Tezuka's death glare went over from Eiji and Momoshiro to Fuji and it stayed for the rest of the session.

"All right Oishi. I'll do it." Tezuka said, his glare still not leaving a smiling Fuji.

"The king is to be played by…me… Haha!" Oishi was pretty amused he had got the role of the king.

"And next the queen would be…Kaidoh." Oishi announced.

"What!" It was one of the times Kaidoh did not hiss as a reaction. "Why do I have to be the only one to act as a girl? Why…"

Kaidoh immediately stopped as he sensed an ominous figure carrying a glass of something behind him.

"Fsshuu!" was all the Mamushi could mutter and he retreated, having his back to the wall. Oishi knew he had agreed.

"As for the princess…" Oishi started.

"It will be the only one left and it is Inui. Is that what you wanted to say, Oishi?" Inui cut him off.

"Yes Inui. So your characters have been settled. Here's the script." Oishi said as he passed the scripts down. "Read the scripts tonight. We will meet at the auditorium after school tomorrow."

"All right everyone, you are dismissed now!"

With orders from their buchou, everyone picked up their stuff and got ready to leave. Kaidoh was mumbling things to himself and Ryoma didn't seem too happy. Momoshiro and Eiji were excited about the whole play and the gakuen sai while Inui was writing in his notebook once again. Fuji looked around at his teammates. He knew some of them were not going to behave.

"This is going to be interesting…" Fuji thought, his sadistic smile widening.

1. buchou - captain

2. senpai – senior

3. mamushi – viper

4. senpai-tachi – all (my) seniors

5. yadda – no/ I don't want to

6. gakuen sai – school festival

All right! How is the first chapter? This fic is just going to be crazy! I just know it!
