A/N: With the US Open currently underway, I felt like I really needed to write a couple of rumors in honor of the event. Enjoy!

Rumor involving: All of the regular tennis players from the various middle schools around Japan.

Rumor has it that a couple of members of Seigaku were talking about entering the US Open's Junior's division since they can't play against the adults yet. Well, I heard that Horio opened his mouth and Hyotei found out, who then called and talked to Rikkai Dai, who then called…well, you get the picture. Needless to say, all of the schools wound up converging in New York. Now the rumor goes that when the different schools realized their rivals were there, they found the closest tennis courts to battle it out instead of waiting to play at the Open. I heard none of them made it to the qualifying event and thus no one got to play in the Open. I also heard they burned down a club, flooded their hotel, and stole a police horse. Now I'm not sure if this is true or not because doesn't the Open happen at the same time as Nationals here in Japan? Of course, I also heard that only Ryoma was invited to the US Open and he is the only one who went and did wind up playing in the competition.
