Tezuka, Oishi, Fuji, Kikumaru, Taka-san, Inui, Kaido, and Momo gather outside the gates of Seishun Gakuen.
"Looks like we're all here." Oishi smiles.
"Let's go." Tezuka turns to walk onto the school grounds.
"You're missing one." Ryuzaki-sensei intercepts them as she joins them at the gate from inside the grounds.
"The only ones missing are Ochibi and Trey-chan," Kikumaru comments.
"They're third and second years. Shouldn't they already be here?" Momo asks.
"Actually." Ryoma joins the group. "I'm living in America with this one." He points an accusatory thumb at the older boy behind him.
"Yo," Ryoga greets.
"Ochibi!" Kikumaru hugs him from behind. "Where's Trey-chan? Does he live you too?"
"No. He chose to stay in Japan." Ryoga turns to Ryuzaki-sensei. "You've been keeping him busy with tennis. Chibisuke and I have been here for a week already but we've hardly seen him."
She smiles. "Well, regionals do start this weekend."
"How did the district tournament go?" Tezuka asks as the group ventures onto the school grounds.
"Seigaku came in first. Fudomine got second and Hyotei got third."
"Hey, does Trey still play doubles?" Momo questions.
"He will in practice but he was on reserve for most of the district tournament."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He sprained his knee in the first match against St. Rudolph."
"Hey, Oishi." Kikumaru turns to his friend. "Ryuzaki-sensei mentioned something about Trey wanting to play a match against us. What do ya think? Wanna play?"
"Definitely." Oishi smiles. "Wish I'd known a little sooner though. I would have brought my racket."
"You can borrow one of mine."
