A/N: I left this fic hanging on its third chapter. Since it's my summer vacation, I decided to complete all my unfinished fics. When I re-read this I remembered why I never got on the third chap: it didn't really have any plot (and the original two chaps simply sucked!). Now that it does have a plot, I revised the other two chaps and finally did the third. Hope you like it! Please read and review!
Disclaimer: Slam Dunk and its characters are mine, all mine!! *minna glares at cp* In my dreams, I mean! *cp sighs with both hands in the air* Only in my dreams…
Dedication: For those who read and reviewed the original version, thank you very much! I hope you like this re-written one!
A/N P.S.: BTW, their thoughts are in Italics. Please don't forget to review! ^.^
Chapter 1: And So It Began…
"YATTA!!"
The sudden screech from a red-faced, heart-eyed chibi Ryota Miyagi attracted more than the usual glares as it echoed all through out the quiet neighborhood. He was jumping up and down excitedly. The people who stopped to discern the owner of the scandalous noise wondered whether they should call the police or the mental hospital. But one look at the utterly embarrassed girl beside him just made them smile consolingly and walk away thinking: Poor girl…
The ecstatic point guard, however, never really noticed anything around him except for the curly haired manageress. She came! She really came! It's my chance!! I always knew she liked me too! This is going to be the best day of my entire life! It's my dream come true! Nyahahaha!
"Miyagi Ryota, stop jumping!" Ayako rested her face on the palm of her right hand and sighed defeatedly. How the hell did I get into this mess?!
"Hai, Aya-chan!" chibi Miyagi replied, staring dreamily at the dark-eyed girl. At last…Aya-chan and me…together…alone…on a date… Tears were cascading down his blushing cheeks like waterfalls.
Ayako groaned. She picked up the crying chibi and dragged him away from the basketball court where they agreed to meet. This is the main reason why I didn't want to go out with him in the first place! "C'mon, Ryota, let's get going!"
"Hai, Aya-chan!"

It was another peaceful day in Kanagawa. There were seagulls flying gracefully near the shore. The steady chatter of people on the streets was typical for a beautiful Saturday morning. A light, sweet scent filled the air. But behind the bushes of a local park, a pair of glasses reflected the bright sun. Next to him was a tall, dark and…nevermind…senior student whose eyes were darting around the park, hidden behind a very effective camouflage: a tree.
"Tell me again why we're doing this, Akagi," Kogure asked, scratching his arms and back. He moved to stretch his legs, which fell asleep for the third time already. Their usually unruffled captain charged into his house early that morning, waking him up with such a vigorous shake that it took a couple more minutes for him to realize what happened, and then demanded that the team have an emergency meeting. It was only six a.m. then but the unstoppable Akagi managed to get even the unwakable Rukawa awake, well, at least for five or so seconds. The vice-captain yawned as he tried to remember what he had been dreaming about that morning.
"Because I'm the one responsible for this date," Akagi replied, not even moving a muscle on his face. "Stop moving, here they come."
The two were eating ice cream. They stopped and sat on the bench directly in front of Akagi's tree.
"I didn't know you liked marine animals too, Ryota," Ayako was saying, giving Miyagi a quizzical look.
"Are you kidding? I love The Aqaurium, with all its fishes and…and stuff... Nyahahahahahaha!" Miyagi threw his head back and laughed. All my daydreaming finally paid off! Then he stopped suddenly and blinked, his head still up side down. He was staring at Akagi right in the face.
"It's not only fishes and stuff. They have the most beautiful corals I have ever seen! They also have all sorts of crabs and turtles and starfishes and this really large octopus. And the fishes! I think they have the widest display of tropical fishes in the whole Japan. I had no idea fishes could be that beautiful! They have this baby Orca that they saved last month…" Ayako continued to chatter and eat her 3-scooped ice cream, not even looking at Miyagi.
"I didn't know they display Gorillas in this park," the boy murmured not hearing a single word Ayako was saying. He stood up and leaned close to the sweatdropping Akagi. He pinched his captain's nose, stretched his cheeks and knocked on his head. Three crosses formed on the senior's reddening face. Kogure was having a hard time holding Akagi back.
"And it feels very real too…" Miyagi was looking at the sky while poking at the gorilla's--I mean Akagi's--nostrils and didn't notice the latter trying to bite his finger like a hungry piranha. "Somehow, this Gorilla reminds me of something…" he continued to mumble, sitting down beside the still-gabbing Ayako. Suddenly, he turned to stone.
"Hn?" Ayako finally stopped talking and turned her attention to Miyagi as she finished her ice cream cone. "Nani yo?"
Sou na…Gori…
A chill ran down his spine."Eh? Ryota? Nanda?" Ayako's palm was waving in front of his face.
"Eh? Nyahahahahahaha! Be-betsuni! Iku, iku! Let's go to The Aquarium! Nyahahahahahaha!" Miyagi grabbed Ayako's hand and raced out of the park. Iie, Akagi-Captain wouldn't do anything like that…would he?
He sneaked a look back but didn't see the gorilla again. He shuddered.
Scary…
