Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis

Chapter 1

"It's negative," Sakuno Ryuuzaki announced.

Tomoka Osakada let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. She wasn't pregnant. That was a relief. Tomoka buried her face in her hands to stifle her cry of joy!

"Tomoka!" Sakuno said. "You need to learn to be more careful. How many times have we done this now?"

"Sakuno, I know I know," Tomoka sighed. "It's just once you get started you get caught up in the moment."

"I fail to sympathize," Sakuno said, turning to throw away the pregnancy test.

Tomoka didn't need to hear this lecture again. She and Momo had been dating for about 3 years and the pregnancy scares came and went. Sakuno wouldn't understand. Tomoka and Momo got together at the same time as Ryoma and Sakuno. By the time Momo and Tomoka got to 2nd base, Ryoma and Sakuno barely held hands. However, by the end of the first month Ryoma admitted he was gay and that explained a lot. More recently, Sakuno started dating Yuuta Fuji, and although Yuuta wasn't gay, he seemed to be taking things a lot slower than Momo did. Tomoka knew that Sakuno looked down on her for what she and Momo did, but she just tried to ignore it.

"Well at least I can still play tennis," Tomoka sighed, looking up at her best friend.

If looks could kill, Tomoka would have been dead. Sakuno was glaring daggers at her fried.

"Tennis? If you were pregnant there would be more to lose for both you and Momo-chan-sempai-buchou than tennis!"

Tomoka sighed and stood up from her chair and crossed over to pick a brush up from her desk. She began brushing out her knots, getting herself ready for her date she had later that day. Sakuno was right, there was more to life than just tennis. Things would be catastrophic if she did get pregnant. She knew she and Momo had been reckless, many times. She wouldn't always be so lucky. However, Tomoka always wanted to block those thoughts out.

On the outside, maybe it seemed Tomoka's life was great. Her boyfriend was Momoshirou-buchou. So many girls liked him. Tomoka had grown and blossomed into a very pretty girl. She wore her hair down now, and wore a layered cut like one of those idols she liked so much. She balanced a part time job and her and Sakuno always had the cutest clothes when they went to Shibuya on the weekends, sometimes with other girls in their class, and other times with their boyfriends.

But the biggest thing driving Tomoka was the fact that… she was in line to becoming the girl's tennis captain next school year. She had finally been able to join tennis club her 2nd year of junior high. After joining tennis club she made a lot of progress, not to mention the fact she gained major popularity after she and her best friend started dating two of the boy's team top players, Momoshiro-buchou and Echizen. Now she was a 2nd year high school student, still dating the ever so popular Momoshirou-buchou and a girl's team regular. Sakuno, with Ryoma and Tomoka's help of course, got good enough to be a regular too and played double's 2 with Tomoka. Tennis was really the only thing she had going for her. Her grades were of course excellent, but it was mostly because bad grades would really hinder her tennis progress. That was the sum off all Tomoka's aspirations… for the time being.

She was going to be girl's team captain.

As for that little mistake… Tomoka bit her lip as she thought of that pregnancy test. She'd been late for her period but she was definently not pregnant. No… not pregnant.

"Tomoka! Are you listening?" Sakuno's voice cut through.

Tomoka set down her brush, "Yes. Sakuno. I'll be more careful from now on."

Sakuno frowned, "Maybe if Momo knew about these close encounters he'd be more willing to wear protection."

Tomoka sighed, if only things were that easy…
