Let me explain the timeline of my story so that everyone is clear. This is
an alternate universe of Prince of Tennis. This means everyone is still in
their respective years (ie: Tezuka is third year, Momo is second year,
Echizen is first year). At first I wanted Echizen to be in his second year
but then I realized that means Tezuka and Fuji would have graduated, so I
had to make some changes. So basically my fiction runs parallel to the
Prince of Tennis story, meaning the boys' team will still play against
Fudomine, Hyotei, etc. for the most part. I'm only going to mention the
games in the passing, nothing in detail because I'm sure most of you have
already seen the games. I'll simply make reference to it to show where the
story is in relation to the anime. The main difference of course is the
addition of the girls' team and romance. If there are any other confusions
along the way, please tell me and I'll attempt to clear them up. If I
don't clarify the confusion right away, that means I will do so in the fic,
so wait patiently.
Now onto the prologue of "The Girls' Tennis Team" Enjoy!

"Miki, we're moving to Japan in two weeks"
"NANI?! I just came home and you're telling me we're moving? Mom, don't tell me, we're in serious debt and now we're moving to escape loan sharks."
"Miki, you've been reading too many mangas. It's nothing like that. Your dad was promoted but the condition was that he works in the Japanese branch of the company. Naturally he said yes since Japan is his native country."
"But this is so sudden. What about my school? What about my life?"
"Oh honey, I know this is hard for you, but I know you're not doing well in school. You don't tell me about it but your teachers call frequently telling me about the fights you get into."
Miki opened her mouth, prepared to defend her actions, but her mother raised a hand. "You don't have to tell me anything. You're my daughter; I know you wouldn't pick a fight. I taught you better."
Miki's heart warmed at her mom's trust in her. At the same time it made her very guilty for making her mom worry.
"So look on the bright side, you'll get to start over in a new school, new environment. Not many people get chances at a clean slate. Oh before I forget, Hika-chan and her family are also going with us."
"For real? They're coming?"
Their parents are long time friends so Hikani and Miki had been best friends since they were young. They couldn't be anymore different from each other. Miki is very loud and opinionated. She does horrible in school. The only two subjects she was good at are English and Japanese. For some reason language comes easily to her. She has a short neck length hair. Many people say that she's a tomboy, always in fights. Hikani on the other hand is a model student. She has excellent grades, proficient in every subject. She is quiet but by no means shy or meek. She could be firm if needed to be. She has no problems voicing her opinions. She's always willing to lend an ear. She has waist length hair and people always comment that she's as pretty as an angel. She doesn't just walk she floats. (AN: anyone thinking Miyazawa Yukino from KareKano?) Everyone wondered why Hikani was with Miki. They all thought Hikani should hang out with someone like herself, instead of a troublemaker. Some speculated that Hikani pitied Miki because Miki didn't have any friends other than her. It made everyone think Hikani was a saint. But they did have one thing in common: their love for tennis.
"Yes, your dad and Takuya-san were promoted to got there together. So you and Hika-chan will go to the same school. The company is also giving us an apartment to live in. We'll be neighbors with them."
"When do we move?"
Miki's mom laughed. "What happened to your important life here?"
Miki stuck her tongue out. She was really happy. The situation didn't seem so gloomy anymore. She ran up to her room to call Hikani.
"Moshi moshi."
"Hika-chan? It's Miki. Did you hear about going to Japan?"
"Yea, my mom just told me. I was about to call you too."
"I'm so excited, a whole new environment, maybe this time I wont have to fight."
"I doubt it, you always did have a penchant for getting into trouble. Besides, you're always rescuing those in need. That's usually how you get into trouble with the teachers."
"I know, they never listened to me when I said I didn't start it and the people who were bullied were always too chicken to say anything. It makes me so mad."
"I guess it's hard to blame the teachers though. You did have quite a reputation. Nobody could defeat you and you know you're always quick tempered."
"Enough rehashing the past. I'm just hoping school in Japan will be different."
"MIKI! It's time for dinner!"
"Hika-chan, I have to go, mom's calling. Talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay, ja."
Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. They were in Japan, to start their new life.
