"This is Aiki, our new doubles player." Shikotsu gave the team a thumbs up.

"Wow! Ai, Atsuko, Akane, Akari, Shizuka, and Sakuno! Nice to meet you all! Why is your courts black and pink?" Aiki cartwheeled around the courts.

"She sure is energetic." Shizuka's tear dropped.

"But is she good?" Akane asked.

Aiki stopped and tossed her tennis racket. "Want to see?"

Shikotsu crossed her arms. "Any volunteers?"

"I'll play with her." Ai volunteered.

"Great, Sakuno. Akari, doubles go against." Shikotsu sat down on the umpire chair.

"Damn, I really wanted to play her too." Akane pouted.

The teams chose which side and which court they wanted to play on, then the game began.

Akari was first to serve, for her serves are... interesting.

Akari tossed up the ball. "Let's see if you could hit this! Bunkatsu no Kyori!"

The ball hit the net, twisting it to instantly hit the left service court close to the net. Much to Sakuno and Akari's surprise, Aiki immediately scratched her racket and slammed the ball to the alley line.

Sakuno blinked. "Was that an out?"

Shikotsu smiled. "Technically in a singles game, yes. Since you and Akari were so used to singles rules, this is not an out."

Akari stomped and smiled. "I see how it is." She tossed up the ball again. "Bunkatsu no Kyori!"

This time the ball went to the right service court, causing it to spin yet again when it hits the ground. Ai didn't know this, so she confusingly tried to hit it. (I hope you know that in tennis, they had to switch.)

"Haha! You're trying to trick us! But I want the treat! Wait, this isn't Halloween." Aiki realized.

"I'm kind of lucky to be on your side... But now I'm not." Ai's tear dropped.

"Your serve." Aiki threw the ball over there.

"Would you like to serve Aiki?" Ai asked.

Aiki jumped with joy. "Oh candy I do!"

Ai tossed the ball to her, then she tossed the ball. "Up and go!"

Sakuno knew immediately that she had to hit it. "Backhand Superu!"

Ai smirked. "Sakuno, nice try! No Tokubetsu Heiwa!" Ai shouted, using her forehand to smash the ball on the oppposite side of Sakuno... But Akari was there.

"Are you kidding me?" Akari hit it back. Akari... did a lob.

All of a sudden, Sakuno looked up at the sky and saw Aiki spinning in the air while hitting the ball. "Bubblegum Tornado! Ooh, I like that!"

Akari couldn't see where it went, neither could Sakuno. It was unreadable!


Later...

"That was a good game!" Ai high fived Sakuno.

"Yeah, too bad it was a tie." Akari wiped her sweat.

"We should do it again! Oh look Shikotsu's boyfriend!" Aiki pointed and jumped up and down.

Shikotsu blushed. "He's not my boyfriend!"

"Why is he talking to Atsuko?" Akane asked.

Shikotsu froze. Could it be... His crush, is Atsuko? She looked really happy but inside she was... sad. Does this mean I can't hang out with him anymore?

"Hello Seigaku girls." A voice popped in the courts.

"Ah, Asuka Narumi- san! How are you?" Sakuno greeted.

"I just wanted to say thanks Sakuno, for yesterday." Narumi thanked.

"For the question?" Sakuno asked, confused.

"Because of your question I realized my love, and how to. Thank you so much." Narumi smiled.

"Your welcome Narumi- san." Sakuno smiled.

"Narumi? How were you allowed through the school?" Akane asked.

"Oh I just happened to jog around. Would you all like to join me for lunch?" Narumi tied her auburn hair.

The girls nodded as Shikotsu looked behind herself. Should I interrupt them? I should! Or else he'll confess to her! And then you can't see him! W-What am I thinking?

"I'm sorry Asuka- chan, but I think I have to go somewhere." Shikotsu turned down.

Sakuno realized something. "Are you okay Shikotsu- senpai?"

Shikotsu smiled. "Of course, go have fun Sa- chan."


At Asuka's house...

"Yummy! Better than lollipops! What's this called?" Aiki asked.

Narumi's tear dropped. "A chocolate filled cupcake, with frosting?"

Aiki ate all of them at the same time. "Oh my... cupcake!"

The girls laughed, but stopped. They all really looked sad.

"What's wrong?" Narumi sat down.

"Shikotsu- senpai seemed really sad today." Akane frowned.

"Maybe she's jealous." Aiki said with a food filled mouth.

"But Shikotsu- senpai doesn't like Tezuka- senpai." Sakuno pointed out.

"That's were you're dense Sakuno." Narumi chuckled.

"Oh yeah..." Ai made a cat face a Sakuno.

"How was your date with... Hehe, you know." Akane smirked.

Sakuno turned red. "Eh? What are you all talking about?"

The girls' chuckled. "Shikotsu- senpai told us about the kiss."

"Was it a sweet kiss?" Aiki reached for another cupcake.

"D-Don't ask me!" Sakuno hid her face.

"Don't you have a match tomorrow Narumi- san?" Ai asked.

"Yes, against the Shitenhouji girls." Narumi nervously said.

"I'm sure you'll beat them." Akane tried to stop Aiki from eating the cupcakes... Because Aiki stole hers.

"I don't know about that, this girl named Miyuki Turunen is playing a doubles game... Most likely to play me." Narumi played with her hair.

"Miyuki Turunen... I heard the Sonic is impossible to read." Shizuka looked at her data.

"So, let's say she uses this move... Maybe you can use the Meteorite Smash correct?" Akari asked.

"I guess. My Hawk's eye could help too." Narumi's confidence rose up.

Akane's vein popped. "Okay, I think we should go now. Aiki is cupcake sick, and if she hurls on my new shoes I'm going to kick her ass."

Aiki had dizzy eyes. "Frosting... Sprinkles... Chocolate..."


At the Seigaku boys' courts...

"Rai, I'm telling you. You can't marry your mirror!" Takashi took away his mirror.

Rai cried. "But why!"

Inui made a scary face and stuck his "drink" in Rai's face. "Bring your mirror to the courts again, and you are going to marry Sweet Tea. (get it? sweety)

Rai flinched. "Okay."

"Where did you go Tezuka?" Fuji's scary eyes flinched Tezuka.

"Nowhere." Tezuka walked forward.

"He had to ask Atsuko what Shikotsu likes in a guy, must be so embarrasing." Oishi spilled.

The team laughed. "He likes her?"

Takashi smiled. "I wouldn't be surprised. She is so sexy!" Tezuka flashed his glasses at him.

"Momo, 100 laps."

Takashi's vein popped. "Such jealousy."

Ryoma smirked. "At least he didn't kiss his girl yet."

Eiji noogied Ryoma. "You kissed Sa- chan! Isn't that a surprise Ochibi!"

Ryoma leaned back. "Her lips tasted like honey."

"Such a man ochibi! I'm going to follow you around now!" Eiji made a cat face.

Ryoma glared at Eiji. "Do that, and I'm going to tell..."
