Oh wow, it's been awhile! I hope you guys are still interested in this story and thank you for those who still are!


A Fan's Love

Momoi was tapping her foot on the floor, arms crossed over her chest, and right eyebrow twitching. In front of her was Kise, and she was looking rather impatiently at him as he rummaged through his bag in search for a particular item.

"Ki-chan, hurry! We don't have all day, you know."

"I'm trying!"

Practice should've started some fifteen minutes ago, but because a certain purple-haired, snack-munching giant had not been present as of yet, Momoi requested from the coach to have practice be postponed until everybody was complete—to which he said yes to.

But it seems that they will not be starting anytime soon.

"Ki-chan, I really don't mind using my phone."

"No wait! I found it!"

"Okay, now we can call Muk-kun…"

But Momoi suddenly stopped midway through her sentence as she watched Kise pull out his cell phone. No. She gawked at it, lips slightly parted for that dramatic effect. Dangling from said device was a bunch of trinkets and key chains and the sort, ranging from palm sized plush-toys to marble-sized ornaments. Momoi was genuinely stunned. How could Kise not find THAT in his bag?

"What are all those?!"

Kise beamed at her. "Oh, my fans gave them to me. Sweet, huh? It does a great job from losing my phone... Ah, that's right! Murasakibaracchi…"

Keep it from losing his phone? He couldn't find it just minutes ago!


Damn You Autocorrect

When everyone decided to use smart phones that one time, it had probably been one of the dumbest decisions they had ever made. Admittedly, those phones were quite the convenience. But when it came to texting... Well, let's just say that they wished they had never used those wretched things ever again.

It was actually Kise who first brought up the idea. He came in that faithful day with six boxes of those gadgets in hand.

"My manager gave them to me as complimentary gifts considering how well we were doing with our sales. They're the latest model, so take care of them," Kise said with a wink as he distributed a box to each member, including Momoi.

Despite their initial skepticism (save for Momoi. She was ecstatic) nobody really complained, and simply thought: "Why not?" By the next day, everyone had already ditched their former phones and started to get comfortable with their new fancy "smart" ones.

TUESDAY, 7:30 AM

Midorima: Aomine, come to school on time. My textbooks are with you and I need them now.

Aomine: Hold on a sex. I'm comin'.

Aomine: I mean sec. As in second.

Midorima: Right…

TUESDAY, 6:40 PM

Momoi: Ki-chan! I saw a cute little fuck that looked just like you on my way home (≧∇≦)

Momoi: Gosh! I meant duck. DUCK! I'm sorry Ki-chan!

Kise: You're so mean (┰ω┰)

TUESDAY, 8:06 PM

Momoi: …and did you hear about all the retards Teiko's gunna get this year? I can't wait!

Aomine: Uh…

Momoi: Oh no! I meant rewards! This phone is getting really ambition.

Momoi: Anointing.

Momoi: Asexual.

Aomine: Yea, I'm gunna do some homework now.

Momoi: (TT_TT) but you don't do homework!

FRIDAY, 11:30 AM

Kuroko: The fire is about to start, Momoi-san, and everyone is looking for you.

Momoi: A fire?! Where? How? I'm safe!

Kuroko: I meant the fair. Sorry. I don't think I've grown used to this type of phone yet.

Momoi: Seme here.

Kuroko: (o_o)

Momoi: SAME!

SATURDAY, 1:20 PM

Murasakibara: I didn't know you had a bicep, Akachin. It doesn't look like you do.

Akashi: Atsushi, read your message again.

Murasakibara: Ahh… I was talking about your bicycle. I always thought Akachin had his driver take him around town or something.

Akashi: That's what I thought.

At the end of the week, everyone had returned their phones back to Kise—even Momoi.

"But I don't understand!" The blonde mused. He actually liked the thought of everyone using the same gadget.

"Autocorrect," they replied in chorus.


No Cell phones in Class

The class knew that song everywhere. It was by that famous pop boy group that had more fans than Kise could ever have, be it girls or boys. Momoi happened to be one of those fans (apparently the only one in their section as far as she knew) so it wasn't surprising when everyone automatically darted their attention at her when the song came on and unceremoniously disrupted their class.

"Momoi-san, what did I tell you about cell phone usage in class?" Her teacher said coldly, both eyes scrutinizing her.

"I…uh…." Momoi trailed off. Who could be calling at this time? She cursed under her breath as the song kept going.

"We cannot continue with that disturbance."

"Y-yes. I'm sorry!" And as if on cue, the song stopped just when Momoi took out her phone from her pocket. "It's on silent now…" She announced sheepishly and the teacher proceeded on with the lesson. Momoi though couldn't help but start wondering. "But no one called…." She mumbled to herself. "Who else could have the same ringtone as me?"

Meanwhile, Midorima had excused himself to head to the comfort room.

There he took out his own phone and glared at the caller on the display.

"Thanks a lot mom, for calling me at such a time." He thought sarcastically.


Who Missed Call?

Gathered in the living room of Kuroko Tetsuya were five other boys. The greenhead among the group swallowed anxiously, simultaneous to when a trembling blonde hid behind a purple-haired giant, whose hands were shaking as he tried to get Pocky sticks from the box he was holding. He couldn't get them out of the box. The tannest teen, despite his tough-guy façade, seemed to be the most disturbed, while the red-head next to him seemed to be enjoying the most.

And Kuroko was as indifferent as ever.

They were all in the middle of watching a rather…scary movie.

"EEYAAAAAAAA!" A shrill shriek broke out into the room and Kuroko could swear he saw his teammates start paling to the point of passing out—except Akashi, of course.

"M-m-m-Murasakibara-ch-ch-chi…" Kise stammered, squeezing himself behind Murasakibara in hopes of protection. Murasakibara though, was still shivering, and he still couldn't get a damn stick out of the box because of it.

"Can't eat… Too…" He twitched.

Midorima rolled his eyes, commenting, "Such cowards," when another scream broke out and he quickly brought up his lucky item in front of him as if it had been a shield.

Aomine was silent. He had been too busy concentrating on the screen as he tried to figure out how the thing became like this, and how it could possibly be capable of doing something like that. It was more mentally shocking than his Formless Shots—and that was saying a lot!

The movie was about to reach its climax and the boys have started to brace themselves. Then suddenly, just as they were about to expect it…

Pause.

It was Akashi.

"This movie is quite boring, don't you think?" The team exchanged expressions of disbelief. How could he have thought of it as 'boring' when they were all in the brink of heart-failures! Akashi then turned to Kuroko. "Why don't we change it, Tetsuya?"

Kuroko nodded. "What would you like?"

Then suddenly, a ringing went on and it caused everyone to fall into an eerie silence. They started to search their pockets to find the source. And apparently, it had been Aomine's phone. He paled.

"Well, go on. Answer it!" Midorima suggested.

"Y-yeah… Of course I will…" Despite Aomine's attempt at sounding snarky, he ended up failing due to the lack of conviction in his voice. Well, he was obviously rattled by the whole thing,

"Hey, Aominecchi, put it on speaker."

Aomine took a deep breath. "Here goes."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Aomine threw his phone across the room.

"We're all gunna die!" Kise said, genuinely terrified.

"Shut up, Kise. That is nonsense." Midorima snapped. Although he too, was slightly anxious.

"We're all gunna die!" Murasakibara added, supporting Kise.

"No, wait…" Everyone then turned to look at Kuroko, who was probably the most calmed and composed one at the moment (again, aside from Akashi. Akashi was enjoying everything from the sidelines) "That was a girl's voice, wasn't it? In the movie, you're supposed to die after hearing your own voice from the other line. I don't think that was Aomine-kun's voice."

"I don't think the stupid movie was real!" Aomine announced, despite fidgeting anyway.

The phone rang again, and this time, it was Kuroko who picked it up.

"Hello? Aomine-kun? It's Satsuki."

"It's Momoi-san." Kuroko informed. Aomine took his phone and chided at the person on the other end of the line once he spoke through it.

"What the hell were you thinking screamin' like that, HUH?!"

"Geez, I'm sorry! I was about to ask you something but a spider crawled onto my leg!"

It took a few minutes before Aomine finally ended the conversation.

"So, it was Sa-chin all along?" Murasakibara asked. Aomine nodded with a relieved sigh. "Well, what did she want?"

"Somethin' about discounts on some Idol magazine. Tch. Like I would know."

"But if that was Momoicchi, why didn't you recognize her caller I.D?"

"Yeah… Don't tell her about that."

Midorima sighed in relief. "Now that everything is settled, we can finally—" Suddenly, Midorima had been interrupted by another phone call, and this time, it had been a ringtone far too familiar. "H-hey, isn't the DVD player on pause?"

And with that came another silence that fell upon them. But this time, instead of searching their pockets, they immediately stood up and ran out of the Kuroko household. Like hell any of them had that as their ringtone.

"Excuse me, I have to take this call," Akashi announced a few seconds later.

"Go ahead."
