The next morning

Coach Ryuzaki, Tezuka, and Oishi were already outside waiting. "I hope this trip will go well." Oishi said.

"It will be great. Everyone will have a wonderful time." Coach Ryuzaki said.

"Just as long everyone is on their best behavior." 'Which probably won't happen' thought Tezuka.

Eiji arrived, looking dead. He certainly wasn't a morning person. Fuji arrived next. "Good morning everyone" the smiling Fuji said. He seemed perfectly awake in the morning. Soon after, everyone arrived. They were all outside waiting for their bus to take them to the airport.

When the bus arrived everyone put their suitcases and bags onto the bus and took their seats.

On the bus

"I can't wait till we get there!" Said Momo

"Yeah me either!"

"Would you guys shut up? You are being so loud."

"Aww Kaidoh, why do you have to be so mean?"

"Why do you have to be so stupid?"

The bickering went on for what seemed like forever until "BOTH OF YOU STOP" Tezuka shouted. Momo and Kaidoh started at their captain with faceless expressions.

Things were pretty quiet after. Most of them were asleep. "Neh so what are you looking forward to see when we get to San Francisco Tezuka?" Fuji asked

"The scenery." Tezuka replied curtly.

'Likes scenery' Inui scribbled onto a notebook.

"Look everyone were at the airport now." Taka said.

Once everyone had there suitcases checked in and they had to go through the x-rays. When they put their tennis bags through, an officer came over to them. "Excuse me, you are not allowed to have sports equipment carried onto the plane. You will have to put it below where the other luggages are."

"Okay." Ryuzaki said as they took the team's tennis gear to be put below the plane.

"Here are your plane tickets, DO-NOT-LOSE-THEM" she stated clearly.

"We will meet at the gate at 11:30. You can go look around to get anything else you need"

"Come on Ryoma lets go look at the shops." Said Momo

"Why would we shop at an airport?" Ryoma replied.

"Its fun"

"Whatever."

Ryoma and Momo walked into a shop. "Let's get some tennis magazines." Momo said.

Ryoma and Momo headed over to the magazine section. A woman came over to them. "Hello!"

"Uh, hello."

"Would you be interested in buying this charm? It's for good luck! You never know what bad things might happen!"

"...No thank you"

"Oh well your loss!" The woman said as she walked away.

"Well, she sure was... interesting." Momo said.

Momo and Ryoma walked out the store after buying a couple magazines. The two headed over to their gate. Everyone was at the gate waiting to board now. "Will rows 10-18 please board the plane." All the regulars and Coach Ryuzaki handed the stewardess their tickets.

"Nya I can't find my ticket! Where is it?" Eiji searched frantically.

"Where did you last see it Eiji?"

"I'm not sure"

"Didn't I say not to lose them?"

"You are going to be running laps when we get to America."

The plane was delayed 30 minutes for Eiji to find his ticket.

Everyone was searching for the ticket. 'I remember having it!' Eiji thought. Suddenly, Eiji saw what looked like his ticket on the other side of the room. "Aha!" But before he could get close enough, a janitor picked it up and put it in the trashcan.

"AHH" Eiji sprinted toward the janitor, jumping over chairs to cut time.

"Wait! Stop!"

"Huh?" The old Janitor turned around. Eiji crashed right into him.

"I'm sorry are you okay?"

"I think you threw away my boarding pass."

"Oh really? Well go see if you can find it here."

Eiji looked down in the trashcan, trying to find it. 'Gross. Why do I have to look in here? Wouldn't someone realize if they were throwing away a plane ticket?'

"Here it is! Thank you." Eiji sprinted back to the gate.

"I'm sorry for causing this much trouble."

"It's okay Eiji, just don't do it again." Coach Ryuzaki said.

Everyone finally boarded the plane. "These seats are comfy" Eiji said.

"Whoa look at this! There are small TVs under the seats! Oh hey and oh what's this! This is cool…"

'He better shut up soon or this will the last time he'll be on a plane' thought Kaidoh.

"How long is the plane ride?" Asked Fuji.

"It's around 11 hours." Oishi said.

"11 hours on a plane, that's a long time."

Once the plane took off, movies were playing on the TVs of the plane. Tezuka was reading. Oishi was sleeping. Fuji was watching a soap opera. Taka and Momo were watching the food channel. Ryoma was watching a tennis match. Kaidoh was watching some show about animals. Eiji was talking to Coach Ryuzaki. Inui was observing the things outside the plane.

TBC... I ran out of ideas and decided to update. I will continue with them being on the plane for the next chapter!
