Chapter 1
It was a clean crisp summer day at camp. Everybody from different schools appeared together and had lots of fun. However, it was about to change forever. The camp has its traditional competition to determine who the best team is around. All the boys and girls competed, including Chiyo Mihama & Tenma Tsukamoto.
Lately, Chiyo-Chan has a bit of a tiff towards Tenma. She was declared as the cutest girl around, but never in Japan. The entire camp declared Yakumo as the cutest; so why take it out on Tenma? Simple, Tenma and Yakumo are sisters; and as we all know: Sisters stick together.
One day, the entire group of students formed into two teams of eight. The first team comprised of Chiyo Mihama, Osaka, Tomo Takino, Koyomi Mizuhara, Sakaki, Kagura, Kaorin, and Chihiro; they were known as the Red Team. While the Blue Team consists of Tenma & Yakumo Tsukamoto, Eri Sawachika, Mikoto Suo, Kenji Harima, Haruki Hanai, Akira Takano, and Oji Karasuma. Every one of the students decided to compete in different events, including certain sports events. However, it can be decided on certain point values.

And so it begins, every person has dressed in a colored shirt with the markings reading "Team Tenma" on the blue shirts, and "Team Chiyo" on the red shirts.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the camp counselor announced, "We are about to begin the summer festival. The red & blue teams will compete in 12 different events; including surfing, canoeing, and our most favorite event, the talent show."
Now most people think Chiyo-Chan's team will win, but later at a small tree, Chiyo conducted a chat with Osaka.
"Miss Osaka, that Tenma Tsukamoto makes my flesh crawl," she scowled, "She has become a cute girl, and I don't like it! I always have been the girl of the cuteness bar!"
"Huh? Chiyo-Chan, I think maybe you're just jealous," Osaka said, "I am afraid red is our unlucky color. I hope you can become a great winner when it comes to defeating Tenma."
Chiyo-Chan grabbed Osaka's arm and cried, "I hate her! She's so creepy looking!"
She then let go of her arm and said, "What we need to do is to use some strategy to make sure that the Blue Team will lose and make sure that Tenma is embarrassed."
Osaka let out and evil sneer and asked, "What will you do? Shall we slice her hair off or dismantle her body into the deep forest."
Chiyo-Chan slapped Osaka.
"Stupid! I am not that bloodthirsty! Just do as I say, and I'll see to it that Tenma Tsukamoto gets what's coming to her."
Of course, she remembered wearing the colors of red; it's a well-known fact in camp that the blue team has won most of the events in the festivals every year, leading them to their winning ways; they're 8-1 in festivals. But knowing her friends, they cannot be stopped, because they have Sakaki & Kagura backing up.
While Tenma's team consisted of Eri, Mikoto, & Hanai in the athletics category, Harima and Yakumo have average qualities in the P.E. department. However, the team captain is a sucky athlete.
"Tenma, I really think you shouldn't strain yourself," Yakumo said, who was with her sister, "I think we might be outnumbered in size."
Tenma, who was running in place, responded with a very stern look, "I am so getting my chance at the victory after all those years! When I complete the entire events, Karasuma will finally notice me!"
She then turned all lovey-dovey and imagined about her & Karasuma together in the starting line, hand-to-hand.
"Sis, please don't strain yourself; I cannot say it again, but you've been acting this way since we arrived earlier…"
"Just watch me! I am going to win! For Blue Team!" She cried with her fist held up high.
Yakumo raised her fist high, but with much regret.
"I really don't know about this…" she thought.
In an interesting fact, the 3-legged race is one of the events in the summer festival. The girls that represent Chiyo-Chan's team are masters of it.

At the blue team camp, Hanai called out to the group and started to shout.
"All right, everyone," he shouted, "Even though we are representing Miss Tsukamoto of 2-C, we must do our best! We know we can defeat those harpies in their own game!"
"Excuse me?" Eri scoffed.
"Uh… I mean, those harpies…" Hanai gulped.
"We still find it offensive," Akira stated.
"Oh, forget it," Mikoto smiled, "We came here to win! And I know that we can best them in the experience category."
"We've been known for defeating Tougou & Harry in the Sports Meet last year!" Hanai bellowed, "And we'll defeat those upstart girls in pink!"
Harima stood there, saying nothing.
"Hey, Harima! Are you listening?"
"Uh…" he stammered, "Well, it's very odd, don't you think? We're facing off against an all-girls team."
"True… but we cannot lose to them! Tenma Tsukamoto has made it very clear why we must win! We must show our hearts at what we do, by competing!"
They all cheered as they left to the starting area for the first event.
Meanwhile, Chiyo-Chan's team were in a group huddle. However, she grew very timid and scared.
"Uh… well… I hope we'll win… and defeat the girl with black hair…" she stammered.
"Boy, Chiyo-Chan must hate you, Sakaki," Tomo jeered at her.
"She's referring to you, you dummy," Yomi muttered.
Chiyo-Chan then thought aloud, "Stupid girls… the only girl I want to see suffer is Tenma Tsukamoto; I could care less if we win…"
She then called out, "Listen! We'll do what we can to defeat the blue team AND Tenma Tsukamoto!"
"OH! You mean that idiot!" Tomo called out.
Kagura added, "She's the REAL idiot, unlike someone we know, to which I cannot mention her name out loud."
Tomo glared at her.
Sakaki raised her hand and tried to speak; but Kaorin stopped her.
"Miss Sakaki, let's do our best!" She cheered.
"Oh. Sure, we will," Sakaki said.
They all left to the starting point; everyone, except for Chiyo-Chan and Osaka.
"Listen up, Miss Osaka," she whispered, "I have a plan to eradicate that Tenma. And all it needs is a cure to embarrass her beyond her wildest dreams."
She then pulled out a bag of stones and threw them to the ground.
"The first event is the sack race; what I want you to do is to take this bag of rocks in Tenma's bag and pour them in."
"How are we gonna do that?"
"Simple. Once Tenma's bag is full of rocks, she cannot move; sure, it doesn't matter if we win or lose, but it'll make sure Tenma won't finish."
Osaka laughed and cheered, "That's what's known as a rocky road for our pigtailed friend."
Chiyo-Chan glared at Osaka.
"Shut up and put the rocks in the sack, you cucumber chip!"
Osaka left to put the rocks in the bag.

"The first event is the Sack race!" Miss Kurosawa called out, "Whoever gets to the finish line first, will earn 5 points. But whoever can gets its entire team to the finish line, win or lose, you get an extra 2 points."
All sixteen of the kids entered the starting and began to warm-up.
"Tenma, I am going to make you proud," Harima thought.
"That sack race is as good as ours!" Tomo snickered.
"Okay, Tenma… focus. Play to win!" Tenma thought aloud.
"Ready!" Miss Kurosawa banged her gun up in the air. Everybody started to jump forward on the track. Sakaki & Hanai were neck and neck in the lead, followed by Mikoto, and then Kagura. Osaka was lagging behind in dead last, but wasn't in last altogether. Chiyo-Chan was still by the starting line, still under a very steady start. However, she started to hop very slowly. She then noticed a very gritty bottom. She looked in her bag and was fuming.
"Miss Osaka!" She called out, "What did you do?"
Osaka stopped and called out, "I put the rocks in the sack, like you said, Chiyo-Chan!"
"Not in my bag, Osaka!" She hollered.
She tripped and fell to the ground, face-first. But, near the end, Sakaki made it to the finish line first; unfortunately, Tenma's team crossed the finish line together, before Osaka & Chiyo-Chan could even finish.
"We got everyone of the blue team in first!" Eri cheered, who crossed the finish line before Tomo did.
"Damn! I almost had it!" Yomi sneered, who crossed before Mikoto did.
Mikoto, who crossed after Sakaki, Harima, Hanai, & Kagura did, started to take off the sack and started to brush her legs off.
"That was too easy," she said.
Yakumo crossed, after Tenma crossed and right before Osaka & Chiyo-Chan could finish. She smiled and thought that she did a great job. However, Chiyo-Chan started to scold and yell at Osaka, for the personal reasons.
"You idiot!" She screamed.
"I'm sorry… it won't happen again," she pleaded.
"Next time, I'll give you something that'll give you a chance to get back at Tenma. She's only featured in a couple of events, so stay alert. I have another job for you."
She then pointed at her and shouted, "Be ready!"
It seems that the competition is starting, but Chiyo Mihama's grudge towards Tenma Tsukamoto is just beginning. But they're not the only ones with a story of their own in the summer. You'll see for yourself in the upcoming events.
