Invitation (chapter1)
A pretty girl with a long, brown pony tailed hair carefully opens a white envelope addressed to Shohoku Basketball Team. She stares or rather reads what is written on the envelope, looks at the guys that surround her, giggles...then... "Hahahaha!!"
"What is it Ayako-san?" a red-haired, curious guy asks.
Ayako ignored him and the other guys with a more curious face. Ayako runs toward the gym door, still giggling, showed a piece of paper to a girl with a shoulder-length hair outside the gym. Haruko, the girl with shoulder- length hair looks at the curious guys inside the gym and giggles. Both girls are now giggling which makes the guys in the basketball court more curious and a bit irritated. Still, the two girls ignore them. Haruko says,
"This is so cool, you think they'll go to this---"
"Whether they'll like it or not, they have to, they're VIP's!" Ayako laughs again, "I can't imagine what they'll look like on that day...!
"I think they'll look good!"
"Yeah, about time to have a break from rubber shoes! Its time for them to look pleasing!"
"What are you talking about," the biggest of the guys inside the basketball court asks as he and his other teammates go towards the girls. "The envelope says 'to Shohoku Basketball Team' so please..."
"OK," Ayako smiles at them. "Promise me you'll not --- nah, whatever, here goes..."
Ayako clears her throat, looks at the guys in front of him, smiles again, then...
" 'To Shohoku Basketball Team. Congratulations for getting the Second Place in the play-offs. Before we begin the National Tournament, for the first time, we are holding a formal victory party for the top 8 teams. The party will be held at The Holiday Inn next Saturday. (A/N: I don't know a hotel in Japan I chose Holiday Inn since its popular.^_^) Please invite ladies as your partners in the party for the dance. We are expecting your team's presence since you got the second place. Thank You. Enclosed herewith are 25 tickets for the party' " Ayako shows them the paper and points at the bottom of the paper and says, "Strictly Formal."
Like what she expects, complains are heard like I-don't-wear-this, I-hate- formal-occasions, this-is-disgusting and more complains you can think of.
"I hate formal stuffs...Do we really have to go to this stupid formal party?" Mitsui asks, the guy with the blue-black hair.
"Whether you like it or not, you have to, Mitsui-senpai, you all have to...You're one of the VIP's of basketball now, remember?!" Ayako said convincingly. "It'd be really embarrassing if Shohoku wouldn't be there, right?!"
At last, thanks to Ayako's words they all settled and continued with their usual practice.
Today's practice didn't go well...why...what do you think?! It's because of the invitation...the formal victory party. It's not just about what they'll wear...more important than that...their partners! These guys aren't stupid ok, (well, except for Rukawa, the guy with a messy, jet-black hair; he doesn't care about it, he only has one thing in his mind - basketball. But it doesn't mean Rukawa is stupid ok!) they wouldn't want to look alone in the party. But two guys are greatly affected by this problem, the guy with the red hair - Sakuragi and a cool looking guy with a pierce on his left ear - Miyagi. They already have their partner in their minds, all right, but the thing is...how...
Miyagi, while running and dribbling the ball, looks at his long time crush, Ayako. He doesn't only have a crush on Ayako, he loves her more than anything. Sure he hates formal occasions but, this kind of occasion is once in a lifetime. It would be fun seeing his other rivals in formal clothes but the best of all is spending that formal party with girl of his dreams, and carrying the titles second place in the play-offs and one of the best point guards.
Aya-chan, I really wish you'll go with me to the party. I'll ask her, that's the only thing, later, after our practice-
"Ouch!" Miyagi is not aware of his surroundings; he receives a punch on his head made by the biggest guy in the team. ] "Concentrate, Miyagi, and stop staring at Ayako!" their captain shouts at him.
"Sorry Captain Akagi!" Miyagi says.
"Honestly Ryochin," Sakuragi cuts in, "you're not only fast but you can do two things at the same time...I'm amazed, really...staring at Ayako while running and dribbling a ball then passes to another...You're really great, nyahahaha!"
"Shut up, Hanamichi...you're just jealous, you can't do that."
"I'm not jealous! At least I can speak to Haruko-san with more than two words, unlike you, you can only stare at Ayako-san and say," Sakuragi imitates Miyagi, "Aya-chan!"
"Shut up, or I'll kick you!" Miyagi warns Sakuragi while the rest of the team laughs except for Rukawa who seems like he doesn't care. Apparently, Ayako didn't hear the two guys since she's busy chatting with Haruko.
The practice ends at last...all of them are tired and hungry. Hungry and tired though, Miyagi's mind is still full of Ayako. Determined to ask Ayako after practice, using his speed, he rushes to the locker room, changes his clothes, he runs outside the school gate (good thing there's a nearby flower shop), buys a long-stemmed red rose to make it special, rushes towards the gym.
Mitsui looks at him with amazement, "fast as lightning...where have you been...and where did you get that rose?"
Miyagi ignores him, gets his things and waits for Ayako near the girls' locker room. Seconds later Ayako walks out of the locker room. Slightly panting and a bit nervous, Miyagi calls out Ayako.
"Um, Aya-chan?!" Ayako looks back and stops.
Miyagi blushes slightly whenever Ayako looks at him. Carefully he hides the rose at his back and says, "um, is it all right...I'll walk you home?"
Ayako smiles at him, "um, yeah, alright!"
While they're walking, Miyagi offers to bring Ayako's bag, but Ayako hesitates because she doesn't want to add more trouble to Miyagi since walking her home is already fine for her. Miyagi reluctantly agrees and continues with their walking.
"Um, Aya-chan," Miyagi shyly asks, "I want to ask you something..."
"Sure Ryota, what is it?" Ayako replies with a smile.
"About the formal party..."
"Yeah...what about it?"
"Is it alright if-?"
"Ayako-san, wait up!" they hear their vice-captain Kogure calling.
Ayako and Miyagi stops and waits for their vice-captain to reach them. Bad timing, Kogure, Miyagi says to himself. (A/N: words with ... are thoughts of Miyagi, k?!)
"What is it Kogure-senpai?" Ayako asks as they walk.
"For the formal party..." Kogure asks casually. No, Kogure...please, Ayako is going with me. "...is it alright if you go with me?" Damn...Kogure...!!!
"Um...I...aah, I really don't know..." Ayako didn't expect this. Ayako wasn't able to explain further for believe it or not Rukawa approaches them and...
"Ayako-san, go with me to the formal party, please." Darn, not you, Rukawa!!!
This time, Ayako doesn't know what to do instead, she just said, "I really don't know...um, since there's the two of you asking me, well, I still have to, um, decide...I promise, I'll tell you about it tomorrow...I'm so sorry...!"
"Hey, Rukawa," Miyagi tries his best to sound cool even if he wants to kick Kogure and Rukawa's butts, "What have you eaten, you suddenly asked a girl!"
"Ayako is the only girl I know who doesn't run after me..." Rukawa replies rather smugly.
"I promise, Rukawa, Kogure-senpai, tomorrow I'll let you know..." Ayako repeated.
"That's alright, Ayako-san," Kogure says politely.
After that, Rukawa and Kogure each went to their own destination, which left Ayako and Miyagi. Ayako is speechless, to break the silence Miyagi asks,
"So..." trying to sound casual, "you are going with Kogure or with Rukawa...?"
"Um, it's so hard..."
"Why don't you go with Rukawa...that sounds like fun, the Rukawa brigade will get jealous!"
"What...? You want me to get killed by those girls? And what about Kogure- senpai?"
"Then go with Kogure!"
"I can't...what about Rukawa...He's my schoolmate since junior high, I don't want to hurt him just because of that! And by the way, its his first to ask me like that."
"Then, go with Rukawa."
"I can't, Kogure-senpai has been a good friend to me."
"Then, go with Kogure!"
"No, what about..." Ayako realizes something, "HEY! Are you trying to fool me?! The next one will be, 'then, go with Rukawa', you're not trying to help me..."
"I'm trying to help you..." Ryota says rather sadly. The reason why Ryota's telling her nonsense is because of the two "bakas!" who approached Ayako. Those bakas, trying to steal Aya-chan from me...!
"Just stop it ok...I think I know now!"
"What then?! You'll go with...?"
"Nobody."
"Great! What?! Oh no, if she ditched Kogure and Rukawa...what about me...?"
The two still continues on with their walking. When they are nearly Ayako's house, Ayako remembered something...
"What were you asking, before Kogure-senpai asked me?"
"Huh, what...that...? Never mind its not that important..." slowly, Ryota's heart is like breaking into pieces. You're really hopeless Ryota...
"No, its ok, you can tell me!" Ayako smiles at him, "You wont let me sleep if you'll not tell me!"
"No, just don't think about it..."
"Ryota, tell me...please" Ayako smiles at him again. Because of Ayako's smile, Ryota was defeated.
"OK, OK! But, are you really sure you wanna know?"
"Of course!"
"Honestly?"
"Argh, get on with it, tell me!"
The two stopped in front of Ayako's gate.
"Here goes nothin'"
Slowly, he puts out the red rose he bought earlier and gives it Ayako while saying,
"Can you go to the formal party with me?"
