Memory 01 : Tennis Model

"It's a good weather today," said a pink haired girl to herself. "If you don't stop talking to yourself, you might find yourself back in rehab again," yawned a blonde haired boy in his pajamas. The girl laughed, "I won't as long as you keep it to yourself. Dorota's already preparing breakfast. Go get changed". The blonde haired boy yawned again and turned around, heading towards his room. "Oh, Kevin," the girl stopped him. "What?" asked Kevin sleepily.

"Go wake Ryoma-kun, will you? He's probably still sleeping. The interview with Adidas is today" smiled the girl.

Kevin 'tch'-ed and reluctantly walked towards Ryoma's room.

Today is going to be one interesting day.

"Once you guys finish running 10 laps, you can leave" shouted Ryuzaki-sensei to the members. The members replied with a loud 'yes' and got out of the courts to run. "Nyahhh. I miss Ochibi" whined Eiji. "You've been saying that for the past three years, Eiji" said Oishi. "Ssshhh" hissed Kaidoh. "He should at least send us an e-mail or letter" sulked Eiji while jogging. "Try imagining Echizen in front of the computer" said Momoshiro, "Totally unimaginable". "He does contact his family" Inui said, adjusting his spectacles.

The members looked at him.

"Through the phone" continued Inui.

"I wonder how he's doing now" wondered Fuji.

"OI! YOUR PACE IS DROPPING!" screamed Ryuzaki-sensei.

Everyone staggered and ran faster. "Eh? I thought he knows our number" said Takamura. "Maybe he lost them" said Fuji. After 20 minutes, everyone has finished their laps. "My dad says we can go to the sushi shop today. It'll be his treat" suggested Takamura. Eiji and Momoshiro's eyes sparkled, "OHHHH! What luck!". The others laughed except Tezuka. "Tezuka? What's wrong?"asked Oishi with a worried tone. "Nothing. I'm going to find Ryuzaki-sense. You guys go ahead without me" replied Tezuka while turning around. Eiji pouted, "Cheh". Kaidoh hissed again and said, "I need to stop by the tennis shop to buy a grip tape. The one on my rackets are wearing out". Momoshiro eyed him, "Just like a Viper. Not treating your rackets nicely".

Fuji smiled and handed a racket to Takamura, "OHHH! BURNING! STOP LOITERING AROUND AND LET'S GO TO THE SHOP QUICKLY! MOERUZE! BURNINGGGGGG!". Oishi and Eiji sweat dropped. "You guys wanna come?" asked Momoshiro to Horio, Kachiro, Katsuo, Tomoka and Sakuno. Almost immediately, they ( except Sakuno who was embarrassed ) said "YES". "Jaaa. LET'S GOOO!". So, they took their bags from the locker room. As Momoshiro took out his bag, a small photograph fell out. "Nyah? What's this?" asked Eiji curiously and he took the photograph from the floor. Everyone poked their heads towards the photograph as Momoshiro desperately tried to snatch back the photograph.

Kaidoh eyed Momoshiro, "You stalker". Momoshiro turned red at once and denied, "I'm not a stalker!". He was relieved as soon as Oishi said, "Are? Isn't this the professional model Suzuka?". Momoshiro grinned, "Oishiii! You know her too?". Oishi grinned and took out his cellphone from his pocket. He flipped it open and turned it around to show the members. The screen showed a hazel-brown haired girl with a pair of Chanel sunglasses on top of her head and she wore a tank top with a pair of green shorts. "I thought her hair was pink" mumbled Kaidoh softly but Eiji picked it up. "What's this? Kaidoh's a fan too?" sneered Eiji evilly. Momoshiro suddenly said, "Yeah. Why's her hair not pink? I thought it was her original color". Oishi grinned, "Ah. This was taken during last summer's fashion show". Fuji, however kept quiet. "What's wrong Fuji?" asked Takamura. Fuji flinched, "No-Nothing".

They left the school and headed towards the tennis shop.

As they were approaching the tennis shop, Eiji suddenly said, "Ahh. I miss Ochibi's..."

"Mada mada dane"

"Yes yes. I miss his mada mada da-- nyah!?"

Momoshiro stopped walking. Everyone else did too. They rushed to the electronics shop. The LCD television that was displayed in the shop was showing an image of a pink haired girl, a bluish-green haired boy and a brown haired girl. "AH! It's Ryoma-sama!" pointed Tomoka at the television. "AH! That's her! Suzuka!" shouted Momoshiro loudly until the by-passers stared at him. "Ssshhh" hissed Kaidoh. Fuji was watching the television intensely. Takamura sighed.

The interviewer asked Ryoma ( in Japanese ), "So, you think your friends in Japan are... mada mada dane?"

"Yes" answered Ryoma, straightforwardly.

"Hahahah. A funny way of stating it. Now, Suzuka-san. You were born in Japan too right?" asked the interviewer.

"Yes. I grew up there and came to the United States 6 years ago" replied Suzuka sweetly.

"So, how was the photoshoot for Adidas?" the interviewer asked again.

"ADIDAS?! OCHIBI WAS IN THE ADIDAS POSTER?!" shrieked Eiji.

"SSH, Eiji-senpai" hushed Momoshiro.

"Ryoma-kun is quite photogenic so it wasn't much problem" Suzuka answered.

"Though it was troublesome to change my clothes so many times" sulked Ryoma.

The interviewer laughed, "Moving on, we'll be asking questions that are fans are curious about. Firstly, Suzuka-san. It's about your hair color. We're curious whether your pink hair is your original color or not."

"Ah. It may look unnatural, but it's really my natural color" smiled Suzuka.

"Wow. It's a really nice color. Do you have any friends with hair color like yours?"

"I do. In Japan. He's in Japan. He's a bit like me. He loves tennis"

"Wow. I heard that there are many high schools in Japan offering tennis courses. Which school does he attend?" asked the interviewer. ( "she's annoying" insulted Horio )

"He attends Rikkai but I won't reveal his name" laughed Suzuka.

"RIKKAI?!" screeched Oishi, Eiji, Kaidoh and Momoshiro. "They're so hyped up" thought Fuji. "Who do you think is it?" asked Tomoka. "If it's Rikkai and pink hair..." muttered Kachiro. "BUNTA MARUI!" shouted all of them.

"Hahaha. I won't ask anymore then. Next, to Ryoma-san. How did you feel when you were selected to be in the photoshoot?"

Now, the members were really interested. They were pressing their faces to the glass pane.

"Nothing much. I accepted it because the pay was high" admitted Ryoma.

The members fell down. Oishi whined, "He should be happy that he gets to meet with Suzuka!"

"I guess we'll end our interview here. Thank you for your time, Suzuka-san and Ryoma-san" thanked the interviewer as she stood up and shook Suzuka and Ryoma's hands. Suzuka smiled, "Please support Adidas. The photo books are released today in the stores. Please buy them and support us too". Ryoma grinned, "Adidas shoes are quite good for running". The three of them laughed and the program ended. The members, Horio, Kachiro, Katsuo, Tomoka and Sakuno stared at the television for a moment. Then, they suddenly dashed to the tennis shop.

There was a LONG line coming out of the shop. The amount of females and males were almost equal. Squeals like, "Suzuka's so hottt" and "That little boy is so cute" could be heard. "Look at that!" pointed Eiji at a huge poster. The poster showed two people holding tennis rackets. The girl was unmistakably Suzuka. She wore a sleeveless white Adidas shirt and a pair of light purple tennis skirt. On her head was a white headband and on her wrist was also another white wristband. Beside her was a boy who was definitely Echizen Ryoma. He too, was dressed heavily in Adidas clothes. His hair was ( unexpectedly ) styled so stylishly until he ( though Momoshiro and Kaidoh doesn't want to admit ) looked so cool.

"Why is everyone lining up?" asked Inui to a random guy who was lining up.

"Ah. Didn't you know? They're selling photo books of Suzuka-chan and that boy" answered the boy.

"Guys, you go ahead without me" said Fuji as he left quickly.

"Hmm. She seems to be fine" mumbled Oshitari. "As expected of Marui! He must be so popular until he knows her!" Jiro pumped his fist up into the air. "She should visit us once in a while" Mukahi sulked. It's been 6 years since they saw Suzuka too. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Atobe looked away from the television and towards his maid. "Who is it?" he asked. His maid bowed, "It is a boy wearing a Seigaku uniform". Atobe thought for a moment then replied, "Let him in".

"Must be Fuji" said Atobe out loud.

"How did you know?" asked Shisido out of curiousity.

Atobe smirked, "It's pretty easy to guess, after seeing Suzuka on television, it's obvious he'll come running to me".

Oshitari tch-ed.

"Young master. The guest is here" said the maid politely.

"Fuji Syuusuke" Oshitari mumbled.

Choutarou stood up and suggested to Shishidou, "Let's leave. They probably need to talk about something private". Shishidou agreed and most of the Hyotei members left the room. Oshitari and Mukahi stayed at their spots. Atobe sighed, "We're going to need to talk in private". Oshitari and Mukahi reluctantly left the huge living room.

"What brings you here?" asked Atobe.

"You know what I'm here for" replied Fuji.

"I won't tell you anything. If that's what you're here for, please leave"

"I'm not leaving until I get answers" said Fuji seriously. His sapphire-blue eyes showed that he was serious.

"Then prepare to stay in the living room for the next 365 days" said Atobe coldly as he left the room.

"Now that we're done, let's go get some practice" suggested Suzuka as she stretched her body.

"Finally" muttered Ryoma.

"Kevin! Tom! Terry!" smiled Suzuka. ( A/N : Tom and Terry are the brothers in the American team, just in case you forgot )

"You're done? Let's go play some matches!" Tom suggested.

Ryoma pulled his cap lower. Terry noticed it, "I know you want to play too. Let's go!"

Suzuka smiled.

Tennis, eh?
