"Did you pack all of your stuff?" Atsuko asked over the phone.
"Yeah, even a towel!" Ai laughed.
"We had to bring our own towel?" Atsuko asked.
"Guys, stop changing the subject!" Akane shouted.
"Akane's right guys, tonight we talk about… Sakuno." Shizuka sighed.
"Oh yeah, how Tomoka beat her up?" Ai asked.
"This is so not Tomoka! It's not right for Tomoka to beat up Sakuno like that!" Akane blew up.
"I bet it's blackmail." Atsuko suggested.
"Me too." The others agreed.
"But who would blackmail her?" Ai asked.
"The fanclub… Knowing it would hurt Sakuno and Tomoka mentally, then Sakuno physically. But why would they be after us?" Shizuka figured.
"I so hate your smart words, but she's right!" Ai punched the air.
"Hold on guys, Akari's calling." Atsuko answered Akari.
"Hey! I figured out what's the deal with Tomoka!" Akari shouted.
"Okay, okay, I'll connect you with the others." Atsuko pressed the green button.
"Akari? We haven't seen or heard you for a while!" Akane laughed.
"Okay, so the fanclubs of the Seigaku boys' tennis team have all paired up against you… Plotting specifically Sakuno. Now, over the rooftop, the Prince fanclub aroused over the president Tomoka and blackmailed her." Akari explained.
"But why ?" Shizuka asked.
"They would all gang up on Horio." Akari sighed.
"Whoa wait a minute! Tomoka likes Ryoma!" Ai said.
"No, she started liking Horio. And you know how Horio is." Akari's tear dropped.
"Should we tell Sakuno?" Akane asked.
"Yes! By all means yes!" They all agreed.
The next day, start of spring break...
"SAKUNO!" The girls yelled.
"Eh? Be quiet!" Sakuno said embarrassingly said.
"Tomoka's being blackmailed!" Ai whispered.
"Huh?"
"By the fanclubs!" Akane whispered.
"What?"
"We have to get Tomoka back!" Shizuka worryingly said.
"Hold on you're too fast!" Sakuno stomped.
As the team explained, Tomoka and several other fanclubs came back.
"We're here to destroy you!" One fangirl said.
Once they even got close to Sakuno and the team, the boys appeared... And Horio?
"Just what are you doing?" Tezuka gave them a glare, some were scared, some worshiped. (weirdos)
"Don't blackmail Tomoka for Horio anymore got it?" Takeshi snorted.
"Thank you so much!" Tomoka cried while running back to Sakuno's arms, loudly.
"You won't see the last of us." The fangirls fled.
While Tomoka cried, and cried, and cried, (yeah that long), Sakuno was saying to her ear it was okay. The boys smiled at the first "cried" but started to get irritated.
"To the hot springs!" Ai jumped.
"Hold on wait for me!" A voice came around the corner.
Tezuka's eyes twitched. "Shikotsu."
The boy team members gawked about what Shikotsu was wearing, really short shorts and a tank top. Of course, in jealousy, the girls punched them... In Ai and Eiji's case, Ai punched Eiji in the face.
At the hot springs...
"Smell that aroma!" Ai smelt.
"I know!" Eiji followed.
Ryoma (finally he comes) steps in sitting in the chair, waiting for Shikotsu and Tezuka to stop arguing which get's the big room. Shikotsu says ladies first, Tezuka says, we're boys.
Sakuno joined him, sitting in the other chair, smiling. "How are you Ryoma?"
'I'm irritated.' He thought, but he snapped at what he had to deal with.
"I'm fine... Thanks." Ryoma tried to smile, he really did.
"How do you think of my tennis skills? Improving?" Sakuno smirked.
'This should really prove he is still him-'
"Really great actually, might be ranked number one in the whole world Ryu- I mean Sakuno." Ryoma played with his coins in his pockets.
'God dammit, more like 100000000000000000000.' He thought.
'I guess he really does want to date me.' Sakuno thought.
"Oi Sakuno! Look at these grapes! They're fake!" Tomoka waved.
"I'm coming! See you later Ryoma- kun." Sakuno left.
'Damn me.' Ryoma punched himself.
At the big room...
"Yes! The big room!" Akari jumped.
"It seems to be seperated." Shizuka checked out.
"Who cares! Let's go relax!" Ai quickly changed.
"You guys can go, I think I'll stay awhile." Sakuno took a step outside.
"Okay then, let's go!" Akane and the others leaped out.
At the small room...
"Tezuka, this is crap." Takeshi complained.
"Separated three rooms. Calculations, Ryoma, Tezuka and then all of the others." Inui wrote down.
"What the hell?" Eiji complained.
"Relax, it's personal." Ryoma went in his room.
"I don't care anymore. Let's go relax!" Takeshi leaped out, then the others.
"Idiots." Ryoma said.
Uh-oh.
Later...
"I think I should join them now." Sakuno changed into just a towel.
In the other room...
"Might as well go now." Ryoma changed into just a towel too.
Ryoma went first, to the both genders spa, (he wasn't looking I guess). Minutes later, Sakuno (with her sense of direction) she too went into the both genders spa.
"Ah, this feels great." Ryoma said to himself on one side of the rock.
"No one's here... I guess I can take off my towel." Sakuno took off her towel.
"Hey God, can you hear me up there?" Ryoma said.
'Is that Ryoma?' Sakuno leaned in.
"Please, on my life, make Sakuno fall in love with me. It wasn't my fault I was focused on tennis." Ryoma shrugged.
'Huh?' Sakuno thought.
"Okay, okay. So I've been an ass all my life, but please one chance? This time, I'll be that sensitive guy she needs. Like what Eiji told me from Ai." Ryoma smirked.
"WHAT!" Sakuno stood up, naked and all.
"S-Sakuno?" Ryoma turned around seeing all.
"Grr, I knew it wouldn't be true! Ah! And don't look pervert!" Sakuno threw a bucket at Ryoma's nosebleed.
"Hold on Sakuno! Let me explain!" Ryoma reached out to the stomping off Sakuno.
'Is this what I get for swearing?' Ryoma glared at the sky.
