A big thanks to all the nice people who reviewed! Yay!
Kusari- I'm so sorry, gomen ne. Didn't mean for Fuji to sound like a 'pink-loving gay leech'. I was just inspired to link Fuji with pink because I think that he'll look cute in pink! He he! Besides, these days it is rather common for guys to wear pink. Hint. Ryan. Hint. Seacrest. So don't sulk ok?
Shadow, coolhead15- thanks for your nice review! So here's the chapter you wanted.
Nene- hm, I guess I will keep the pairings as a secret for now until they boys can make up their minds on who they like. But truthfully, I'm quite fond of TezuRyo pairings. ; - ) But TezuFuji does sound quite tempting…
Honou- ok, ok I will continue…please do not flame me…ha ha! It isn't OOC? I seemed to have overdone the Tezuka bit. Sweatdrops. Nya! But I will continue for your sake! And I will be careful!
To my first reviewer who gave me a lot of advice: thanks! This is my first attempt at Prince of Tennis Fanfiction so it may be a little OOC so forgive me. I was just wondering but does anyone find that the characters look a lot older than they should be?
Please give me more reviews so that I can improve! Yeah, thanks!
The night before the trip…
-------------
6 p.m.
Ryoma laid out two pairs of swimming trunks on his bed, one blue and the other red. He stared at the two for a moment then he sighed and continued to stare at them indecisively.
"Karupin, which should I wear tomorrow? The blue one or the red one?" the boy asked the cat on his lap. He scratched the cat behind it ears and smiled when it started purring in pleasure.
Ryoma laughed and patted the cat on its furry white head when the cat pawed at the red pair.
"Then that's decided," the boy announced to himself as the cat batted at his hand with a soft tiny paw.
Ryoma jumped when someone rapped loudly on the door.
Before he could even say come in, his father burst into his room with his monk robes flapping wildly.
"What?" Ryoma said in annoyance as he comforted the startled cat.
"Oh, I see! You're going out tomorrow. Oh no! That's not good," his father muttered as he frowned at Ryoma's swimwear.
"What about it?"
"Then Karupin will be home alone tomorrow for the ENTIRE DAY because I'm going out with your mom!" the monk said with great exaggeration.
"Whatever. Will you please go out? I'm packing here. And knock before you barge in stinky monk."
"Good night and sweet dreams brat prince," the monk said and bent to kiss the top of the boy's head.
After the stinky monk went out, Ryoma picked Karupin up and sighed. He grabbed his duffle bag with one hand and cradled his cat with the other.
"Hm, let's see if you can fit in here."
"Meow."

7 p.m.
"Fuji, are you going out tomorrow?" Fuji's sister asked.
Fuji nodded from where he was chopping the vegetables with swift practiced slices.
"Then you should wear as much pink as possible," his sister said as she fried the eggs that sizzled deliciously in the pan.
"Pink?" Fuji questioned with an incredulous smile.
"That's right."
"What if I don't?" Fuji asked nonchalantly.
"It would bring you ill luck of you didn't. But good luck will be all yours if you wear it," she said beaming at her brother. "And I know that you'll need all the luck you can get if you're going to seduce that stoic captain of yours," she added with a high tinkling laugh.
Fuji continued smiling as he put down his knife and said, " I'm done. I'll go to my room for the moment. Please call me when dinner's ready."
"Sure."
Fuji went to his room and pushed open the door. He immediately pulled out the pink swimwear that was squashed and buried under a pile of his other clothes. He then picked up the letter from his table, squashed it into a neat ball and aimed it swiftly into the paper bin.
Aim and score!
Fuji smiled.
"Dinner's ready!"

11.30 p.m.
Oishi and Eiji said their good nights and put down their phone after a telephone call from the feline-like boy who had initially called the egghead to ask about some physics homework. The call morphed into a chit-chat session and finally into a one sided conversation with Eiji doing all the talking with Oishi trying his damn best not to fall asleep on the line.
Thanking his lucky stars, he heard Eiji yawn cutely on the other end so he kindly suggested that they go to bed and rest well for tomorrow's activities.
"Nya, good night Oishi!"
"Night, Eiji."
Click.

12.30 p.m.
The scratch on pen on paper could be heard from Inui's room as the boy scribbled furiously in his precious notebook. He pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose when it threatened to slip off. Finishing his last word. He put the pen down and stretched his long lanky body. He yawned loudly without bothering to cover his mouth.
Mumbling something incoherent, Inui dragged his exhausted body to bed.
"Calculations… data says…50% chance Echizen brings his cat along… 90% chance Fuji wears pink to piss the hell out of Tezuka…99.9999% chance of Momoshiro and Kaido waking up late…better call them tomorrow…must…. collect more data…zZZZ…
-----------
The next day… 6.45 a.m. 15 minutes away from the Seigaku regulars trip.
Kaido: zZZZzzz…hiss….ZzzZZZ
Momo-chan: zzZzZZZZ…HAHA…stop! That tickles! Tezuka! Tezuka?!….Zzzzzzzz
Phone rings!
Kaido: hiss…what? Shit!
Momo-chan: Oh shit! I'm gonna be freaking late!!!!!
