Bored. Inactive. Tired. Uninterested. Drowsy. Those were words used to describe a Jirou in its normal habitat of Hyotei grounds. Just not today.

"Ho my god, look look look, it's Atobe-buchou, it's you!"

The whole two hundred members of the tennis club turn to Jirou, and indeed, there is an Atobe in his arms. A very little Atobe, squirming around and shouting something along the lines of "Be awed by ore-sama's prowess!" which is a line the whole tennis club are very much familiar with. Except that there is no prowess to see. Just... just cavity-inducing cuteness.

Atobe promptly bursts in through the door, hair and tuxedo all disheveled, and he mumbles something about hiring a better hair stylist before stomping over to Jirou. Jirou sends his captain a smile.

"Atobe-buchou! Back from that ball you were—"

Atobe yanks mini-Atobe out of Jirou's arms. Jirou pouts as the screaming mini calms considerably in his normal-sized-counterpart's arms. "Ore-sama's Mini-sama is not to be harassed."

The mini-Atobe's yells die down completely and he looks up to Atobe with big eyes. Big, puppy eyes.

Atobe growls. "Don't look at ore-sama like that."

The mini-Atobe looks all too ready to burst (again) when Gakuto pulls him out of Atobe's hands. The mini-Atobe growls in the same fashion as that of Atobe and starts pounding his little fists on Gakuto's arms. "Stop pulling ore-sama around like that! My hair will get ruined."

Shishido snickers from the sidelines.

Gakuto laughs out loud, snuggling with the mini-Atobe and ruining his hair. "Wow, he really is you! But more like a teddy bear!"

The mini-Atobe finally explodes, letting out a shrill cry in Gakuto's ear. The redhead yelps and covers his ears with his hands, and Atobe hollers to catch his mini-sama before it escapes. Again.

What he does not expect is the giant horde of mini-regulars suddenly appearing from everywhere; from inside the lockers, jumping out from the school building, and it's the only warning the surrounding students get before Atobe barks out a shrill order of "Go! Catch them, each one of them, a thousand yen for each you get!"

That gets all the students running, hands scrambling for a mini-tennis player two times less their size. The minis let out a collective squeak and run away, students hot on their heels. Mini-heels. An unlucky few run into legs or trees or squirrels and get knocked out.

The stampede of mini-tennis players fade after a few seconds. Oshitari surveys the casualties: there are three Fudomine-minis up on the tree, namely the Tachibana siblings and Ishida, too scared to jump off. Yamabuki-mini Dan Taichi ran into a tree, and mini-Sengoku was shaking him to wake up. The mini-Kamio and mini-Shinji were being surrounded by fangirls, along with most of the Hyotei-regular-minis, minus the escaped mini-Atobe and.. mini-Shishido.

"Choutarou!" Oshitari hollers. Choutarou snaps to attention. "Behind—"

Choutarou squeaks when he feels something bump into his legs from behind, and he nearly buckles over and falls to the floor, had Shishido not been there to catch him. Shishido barks out some sort of "Shoo!" to the thing behind Choutarou's legs, but Choutarou hushes him and turns.

The silver-haired regular is not prepared to see a blue cap and wide, chibi eyes. He stops the squeal from tearing from his throat and dives down to catch the mini-Shishido, but his fingers only manage to catch mini-Shishido's cap before it ducks out of the way and runs. It trips a few seconds later, letting out a little squeak, and the nearby female students squeal and start taking pictures.

Choutarou pouts, clutching the mini-Shishido's cap to his chest as the mini-Shishido pickes himself up and runs away.

"Tarundoru!"

Yukimura hisses. Again with the 'Tarundoru'-ing of Sanada! It's the third time this day, and all the players are distracted! The hell you doing, jeopardizing our chances at winning?

Another "Tarundoru!" sounds from Sanada, albeit a bit higher pitched than the last. Yukimura promptly stands and stomps over to the Rikkaidai vice-captain, who stiffens and turns around to face him. The whole Rikkaidai tennis club gasp as they see what it was their vice captain was hunched over.

A mini-Sanada.

Yukimura instantly brightens and saunters over to mini-Sanada with a dead-obvious lilt in his step. He bends over and pinches Sanada's cheeks. "So... so cute~!"

Sanada's face is set in horror, and he slowly inches away.

The mini-Sanada pouts. "T-Tarundoru!"

Yukimura squeals. The tennis club members stare, mirroring Sanada's expression, and they almost shriek when Yukimura bends down to mini-Sanada's face level.

"No, no, buchou, please don't ki—"

Yukimura holds onto mini-Sanada's hat and yanks it off. He puts it on his head, twisting it a few times to get the right fit, he and visibly brightens. "I have a Sanada-hat!"

The Rikkai captain looks down, preparing to unleash more harassment on mini-Sanada, when he sees those eyes. Big, chibi, watering eyes. The mini-Sanada is pouting.

The tennis club members gasp. Dear god, Sanada is.. pouting!

Marui and Niou double over laughing. A wave of guilt washes over Yukimura, and he bends down to scoop mini-Sanada in his arms. "Now, I have a Sanada of my own!"

Sanada, the real one, had escaped somewhere throughout the whole event, red-faced with his cap drawn over his face.

"Hey, buchou, look over here!" Akaya calls from the opposite side of the court, and Yukimura looks over, imaginary sparkles all around him as he smiles, snuggling the mini-Sanada to his chest.

"Yes, Akaya dear?"

Akaya shivers. Since when did his captain ever call him dear? "Err, the Seigaku.. chibis are here..."

Marui clutches his stomach, laughs coming out as wheezes. Too bad Sanada had missed this!

"So... you're saying that the... chibis have spread?"

Tezuka pushes his glasses further up his nose, ignoring his coach's curses at the mini-tennis regulars pulling at her hair. "Yes."

Atobe gulps. "From where did they arrive? When?"

"Ow! You little shit!" sounds from beside Tezuka. Too bad for him, Atobe had Sakaki. All the chibis were scared of him.

"They arrived from Hyotei's general direction," Inui answers for his captain. "You don't suppose... you had something to do with it?"

"Don't accuse us," Atobe growls. "The Hyotei chibis were fine; it was the Fudomine and Yamabuki chibis who were out of hand."

Yamabuki and Fudomine were not stomped over by chibi-stampedes, thus, were excluded from the emergency meeting. Good for them. They'd probably get wind of it and invite themsel—oh, here they are now.

Sengoku is tackled in the legs by his mini, and they both let out a small "Lucky~" before Sengoku bends down and looks his mini in the eye. He pokes his mini's cheeks. Very puffy. "Lucky~"

His captain, Minami, nudges him on the shoulder. "Sengoku, we're having a meeting."

He was ignored, as per usual.

He takes a seat beside Yukimura, who is currently dressing up his mini-Sanada like a girl to a new Barbie. As Minami eases himself on the chair, Yukimura hisses at him. "That's Sanada-baby's seat."

Minami suddenly understands why Sanada is not here. "S-sorry..."

He surveys the scene from his position standing beside Yukimura and his... doll. He finds his smaller-him huddling in the corner, along with a few other regulars... whose names he has forgotten [1]. Minami begrudgingly admits that there are also some Yamabuki regulars there whose names he's forgotten. Not his fault.

All the Hyotei-minis are staring down at the Rikkai-minis, while the Fudomine minis were all crowding around the newly-arrived Tachibana. The Yamabuki-minis have started crowding around Sengoku as well, but Seigaku-minis were still continuing their activity of pulling at their normal-sized-coach's hair.

But.. there was something missing...

"Hey, Tezuka. Where's your Echizen's mini?"
