The Sunday before Easter had finally arrived. The whole school was buzzing about the competition. Ikkaku agreed that after church they could go on a picnic in their nice clothes and then off to the concert. While everyone was getting ready, you could hear Ichigo and Nat practicing there last notes. In the other room, Dan and Uryu were collecting the bets the kids made on each boy. At church when the others went in, Dan and Uryu waited for Bess and Nan to walk up.

"There you guys are, you're late," Uryu said nervously.

"Sorry, she is so slow," Nan said tipping her head towards Soi-fong.

"Well, excuse me for being pregnant," Soi-fong said waddling up. She then saw the girls place their bets.

"What's this you children are up to?" She asked.

"Bets, put mine on Ichigo" Yoruichi said walking up.

"Dose Ikkaku know about this?" Soi-fong asked.

"Please don't tell," Nan said.

"Hurry up," Uryu said half hoping to avoid this conversation.

Church was as it usually went and afterwards the kids along with Tessai and Ikkaku went on their picnic.

"Remember, send for us if anything happens," Nan said to Soi-fong and Yoruichi before she went running off with the others. The kids had fun playing after lunch and climbing trees. Karin was even being nice and chasing the Aizen twins around making them laugh.

"Nan come down from there you'll ruin your dress," Tessai said as he always did. She never did listen to him and today was no exception.

Soon everyone was gathered by where the competition was to be taking place. Isshin had, of course, come with his video camera and gave his excuses for both Ryukken and Kisuke who were both busy at work. Sitting next to Isshin was Matsumoto and Hitsugaya.

"I can't believe my baby is in this competition, his first one," Matsumoto said in a weepy voice.

"Rangiku don't embarrass our son, please," Hitsugaya said while reading some papers.

"Toushiro this is your son's first competition, and you brought work?" Isshin asked.

"I'll watch when they come up," he said not looking up from his work.

The boys both played beautifully and everyone was on their seats when Yamamoto came to give the results. When he walked up on stage they all became quite.

"For the first time ever, I am happy to announce there was a tie," He said with a smile.

"And that was between Nathanael Toushiro Hitsugaya and Ichigo Isshin Kurosaki." After he said this everyone cheered. When they got back to Plumbfield Tessai and Ikkaku surprised them with a little party. Ameil pulled Uryu aside,

"So what will we do about the bets?" he asked.

"I'm not entirely sure Ameil," Uryu said scratching his head.

Soon the kids all said goodbye and left for Easter break. Uryu had decided to come up with a solution and get back to them over break.
