Message From: Inui Sadaharu
"Fudoumine's Tachibana-san. This is Inui calling on behalf of the Seigaku Regulars. Excuse me for calling on short notice, but Seigaku is having an extra team practice today and we were wondering if you and your team would like to join us. I'll be willing to assume there is an 86% chance you will be willing to join us, but Tezuka prefers for us to wait for your call. That's all, thank you."
Message From: Kamio Akira
"Tachibana-san! I heard we were invited to practice with Seigaku! If you say yes, please don't make me play with that An-chan-liking-bike-thief! Oh, by the way, I think there's something wrong with Mori. He keeps calling me. Oops, sorry for bothering you!"
Message From: Ibu Shinji
"Hey, Tachibana-san, what was the point of having cell phones for the team again? I don't think it was a really good idea since people keep calling me and I don't want to answer so they leave messages but their messages are kind of annoying and I don't want to call them back. Someone keeps giving out all of our numbers because people from everywhere are calling each other and it'll probably cost a lot of money and I don't have a lot of money. Like that one lucky guy from Yamabuki keeps asking me about Kamio and he's really pissing me off. Does he think he's lucky enough to score with Kamio or something? Well, Kamio's my friend so I won't let that other guy hit on him. Now my phone's beeping again while I'm trying to leave a message. Oh, there's another call. Maybe I should just go now, yeah."
Message From: Mori Tatsunori
"WE'RE NAMELESS! NO ONE KNOWS WHO WE ARE! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, TACHIBANA-SAN?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Message From: Tachibana An
"Onii-san! I heard from Momoshiro-kun that the team's been invited for practice with Seigaku. If you go, can I come along too? I want to see Momoshiro-kun and Echizen-kun again. Heheh. Call me back, ok? Oh right, before I forget. Okaa-san took obaa-san for a check up, so let's go out to eat tonight! Ja ne!"
Message From: Fuji Syusuke
"This is Fuji from Seigaku. Ah, so have you decided to join us for practice, Tachibana? I'm looking forward to it. I ran into your sister the other day. I hope you had fun on your date."
(Tachibana wonders if he should place a restriction on cell phone use)

Recording Eleven: Ibu Shinji
"I don't know why, but you've called my cell phone for some reason that the team had to get for better connection purposes. I don't know why we need cell phones since we just see each other at school and stuff so we don't really need to call each other. Tachibana-san thinks it's a good idea though, so I won't say anything against it. Hey, is this phone thing still recording? Oh, a message recording. I don't know what to say on a recording. This is so weird. I don't think we need cell phones."
"Shinji, just tell them to leave a message already!"
"Kamio's so impatient. I'm getting to the message part already. What was I going to say again? Oh right. This is Ibu Shinji's phone that I will not really be using since there's no use for it really, and—…"
"Shinji!"
"…so just leave a message after that annoying little beep then since Kamio's getting frustrated now and he'll get wrinkles on his face. Now what do I do? Am I supposed to push that little button that stops the recording thing? Where's the button? Oh, never mind, I think I found it. See, right he—"
--Messages--
Message From: Telemarketer
"…huh? Wha—? Oh! Oh, the message machine is finished! Thank heavens! Forget telemarketing! I'm never putting up with that again! I hate my job! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I HATE MY JOB! I QUIIIIT!!"
Message From: Sakurai Masaya
"Uh…Shinji…right. Well, Tachibana-san just called me and told me we're going to have practice with Seigaku today. Call Mori and let him know, ok? …uh, on second thought, I'll get someone else to call Mori. I get the feeling you two will have some trouble with conversation… See you at practice, ok?"
Message From: Sengoku Kiyosumi
"Ah! Pretty little Ibu-kun from Fudoumine! That was nice running into you today. Lucky, I'd say, but I'd really like to see Kamio-kun again. Which reminds me, lucky me! You dropped your phonebook on the sidewalk and I found it for you. Well, that's why I'm calling! I'll return your phonebook to you once I find Kamio-kun's number! Heh, sore ja!"
Message From: Kamio Akira
"Shinji, I think your recording is kind of long. Making it fast and easy is good! Oh yeah, did you give out my phone number to Yamabuki? Sengoku keeps calling me. Err… Well, I just heard about our practice today. When we go to Seigaku, play doubles with me this time! I don't want to be stuck with that guy again! Thanks!"
(Ibu wonders why they have cell phones in the first place. The team doesn't really even need them and weird people that make him made keep calling him, like that damn lucky guy from Yamabuki that keeps trying to hit on Kamio for some reason even though they're both guys and it's really not fair because…)

Recording Twelve: Kamio Akira
"You've reached Kamio Akira's phone and I'm not here right now. Leave a message for me, and I'll call you back. Well, I'll call you back if you're not a nameless An-chan-loving-bike-thief! Oh, and Shinji, whatever you want to say to me, tell me in person because your messages are sometimes a little bit too long. Well, don't forget to leave a message!"
--Messages--
Message From: Momoshiro Takeshi
"I can't believe you're still holding a grudge about that dang bike! That was a long time ago! Besides, when you call people, YOU DON'T SCREAM INTO THE PHONE LIKE THIS! SEE?! I KNOW COMMON CURTSEY AND DON'T SCREAM INTO THE PHONE LIKE THIS! You know, it's not my fault Tachibana imouto likes me more than you. Ha! Nah nah!"
Message From: Sengoku Kiyosumi
"Fudoumine's Kamio-kun! I'm so lucky I found your number! It's fate, Kamio-kun. Heh, lucky, ne? Well, I'll go for now, but next time I call, I'll be sure to pick a good time so I'm lucky enough to hear your actual voice. Heh heh, see you then!"
Message From: Ibu Shinji
"What do you mean I leave long messages, Kamio? I'm just talking normally and then everyone starts complaining for some reason. I didn't give out your number on purpose. That annoying guy from Yamabuki took my phonebook when I dropped it and he says he wants to call you and it really pisses me off. You don't like him, right, Kamio? I know you don't like him, you shouldn't like him. It's not fair. What about me? And I don't leave long messages. How can you say I leave long messages? I'm just still mad at that guy…"
Message From: Mori Tatsunori
"Akira! Why are you so popular?! People know you! People don't know the rest of us! WHY?! You and Shinji! WHY?!!"
(Kamio wonders if he should get the phone number blocking feature)

Recording Thirteen: Ishida Tetsu
"Hello, this is Ishida Tetsu. Leave a message for me after the tone. I'm sorry if this message sounds really shaky because I have to hold the phone with my left hand. I'm usually right handed, but Tachibana-san doesn't want me to strain my right arm, so I have to use my left hand and arm for a bunch of stuff now. Right, so when I hold the phone, it's all shaky now. What was I…? Oh! Leave a message after the tone!"
--Messages--
Message From: Kawamura Takashi
"Ishida-kun, I heard your team is joining us for practice today. That's really great. I was wondering if you could help me a bit with the hadoukyuu? Eh, I know this is a lot to ask, but could you? Call me back if you have time. Thanks."
Message From: Sakurai Masaya
"Hey, do you think you could say something to Mori to make him stop freaking out? I think he's totally convinced no one knows who he is. Um, in the meantime, I'll keep trying. See you at practice with Seigaku."
Message From: Ibu Shinji
"What's the point of having cell phones? We don't even need them. It's not like we don't have phones in our houses, don't you agree with me, Ishida? All these weird people are always calling and leaving messages so we don't really even need these phones but Tachibana-san thinks it's a good idea. Why does Tachibana-san think this is a good idea? Cell phones are so annoying, they're always ringing and then you have remember phone numbers to call other people. I can never remember the numbers so I write them down in a phone book but that annoying Yamabuki guy will come again and steal it to find Kamio's number. That guy is so annoying. Cell phones are so annoying."
Message From: Mori Tatsunori
"I'm telling you! We're the unknowns! No one's heard of us! When people hear 'Fudoumine' all they think of are Tachibana-san, Shinji, and Akira! What about the rest of us?! WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?! TELL ME!"
(Ishida wonders if Ibu and Mori have called everyone yet and decides to not sit through every message from them anymore)

Recording Fourteen: Uchimura Kyousuke
"This is not Uchimura Kyousuke's phone and you will not be leaving a message. I will not call you back so go away."
--Messages--
--You have no messages—
Special Feature: Message blocker in case someone actually does try to leave a message
(Uchimura likes his special feature. Yes, he and his cell phone will be getting along just fine.)
-----
Recording Fifteen: Sakurai Masaya
"This is Sakurai Masaya. I'm unavailable right now, so leave me a message! I'll call you back whenever I have time, unless I really don't like you. Heh, otherwise go ahead an leave a message."
--Messages--
Message From: Ishida Tetsu
"It's Ishida. You know, I don't think you should worry about Mori so much. It's one of his phases. I'm sure it'll pass eventually. I think the person you want to be worried about is Shinji. Eh, has he called you yet? He's getting kind of protective of Akira… Ha ha."
Message From: Mori Tatsunori
"Why are we unknown?! Why don't people know us?! We're just as good as Akira and Shinji! Well, maybe not exactly tennis-wise, but still! WE DESERVE FANS TOO!"
Message From: Ibu Shinji
"Cell phones are supposed to be bad for you. The radiation is supposed to be bad for the brain or something since people are always holding it up to their ear and talking for such a long time. That's really stupid. People shouldn't use cell phones. We don't need cell phones. Why do we need cell phones? Everyone can just call each other at home and if we're not home then just wait until we're back to call again right? I don't even know why I'm using this cell phone right now. I think Kamio's mad at me for telling everyone about that lucky guy that's stalking him. What's wrong with that guy? Kamio doesn't like him so he should leave Kamio alone. Now the cell phone is making my ear ring. Or is that supposed to be the phone ringing? This phone is so annoying. I'm going to hang up."
(Sakurai thinks Ibu should stop calling everyone if he's so annoyed by the cell phone. *sweatdrop*)

Recording Sixteen: Mori Tatsunori
"Hi, this is Mori Tatsunori. I don't see what the point is in having this phone since NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM! I'm Mori! From Fudoumine! That school that Tachibana Kippei, Ibu Shinji, and Kamio Akira go to! I'm Uchimura's doubles partner! Hmph. Fine, go ahead and leave a message. Remember, I'm Mori Tatsunori!"
--Messages--
Message From: Tachibana Kippei
"Mori, there are plenty of people who know who you are. Don't be ridiculous. The team wouldn't be the same without you. Now go get ready for practice. We're going to Seigaku today."
Message From: Kamio Akira
"Hey! I think you're exaggerating popularity here. A lot of people remember you! Like…like…that one reporter guy…right. Oh, and Inui-san from Seigaku for sure! He's got all that data and stuff. Eto, I don't think that's really a good thing, but… Anyway! Don't worry about it and stop calling everyone, ok? See you at practice!"
Message From: Uchimura Kyousuke
"…You've called me thirty-four times. Stop calling me."
Message From: Sakurai Masaya
"Lots of people remember you! Don't be concerned about it. Uh, I really don't think calling everyone on the team to tell them this kind of thing helps much, right? Right. Concentrate on playing hard!"
Message From: Ishida Tetsu
"I'm not exactly sure I was supposed to say again… Well, for what it's worth, I remember who you are! We're on the same team!"
Message From: Ibu Shinji
"I don't remember why I'm calling you again. I just thought I'd call the whole team. You don't like cell phones either do you? I can tell from your recording since you said they were useless. If the rest of the team are the only ones who call you and your family and other people, why are you bothering to tell us who you are? No one would call you if they didn't know you, unless it's a telemarketer and those people are really annoying. Speaking of annoying, did you hear about that lucky guy following Kamio around? He really pisses me off. I'm just glad we're going to Seigaku instead of Yamabuki. Then I don't have to see that guy again, but I forgot that I have to since he has my phonebook. This sucks. I don't like this phone either. I'm hanging up."
Message From: Momoshiro Takeshi & Echizen Ryoma
"Hi! You're that…that guy from Fudoumine! This is Momoshiro from Seigaku! You guys are coming to practice with us today, right?"
"Momo-senpai, what'd he say his name was again?"
"Huh? Oh, um…Tori!"
"That's not right. I thought it was Monori."
"No, no, Echizen! He had a short last name!"
"Why did we call again, Momo-senpai?"
"Oh yeah. Anyway! Fudoumine-san, We were supposed to tell you that our practice was moved back an hour! We couldn't get a hold of your captain, and I forgot to mention it when I called your vice captain, so…"
"Hey, isn't he that guy that played doubles with that short guy against Kikumaru-senpai and Oishi-senpai?"
"Right! He was on Kamio's team!"
"And Ibu's."
"Oooh… now I remember…"
Message From: Mori Tatsunori
"I can't take this anymore! Why am I so unknown?! Why don't people know me?! Why am I leaving a message on my own phone?!"
(Mori doesn't like the cell phone idea. He just wants to be remembered, damn it!)

Recording Seventeen: Tachibana An
"Hi! This is Tachibana An! I'm not here to answer the phone right now, so leave me a message and I'll call you back! Oh, and Kamio-kun. I'm still fine. You don't have to call in every five minutes to check on me, ok? Bai!"
--Messages--
Message From: Kamio Akira
"Of course I have to call every five minutes! I have to make sure that guy doesn't outdo me! An-chan! Stay close to me and your brother when we go to Seigaku!"
Message From: Tachibana Kippei
"An, did you tell Fuji-kun we went on a date? …ah, never mind. Anyway, when we go to Seigaku, no matchmaking attempts this time. We were invited, so don't cause them too much trouble. We'll go eat right after practice. Ja."
Message From: Kamio Akira
"An-chan! Are you ok now? Momoshiro didn't call did he? If he did, I'll…"
(An likes her cell phone and giggles at Kamio's insecure rivalry with Momoshirio)

A/N: Whew. Fudoumine. @_@;; I was wondering how
I'd get that out. I'm willing to bet this chapter really wasn't as entertaining
as Seigaku. Heh… I may have overreacted a bit for them, but characterizing
minor characters is so difficult ^^;;
I'm surprised I've gotten so much support for this fic. Thanks, everyone! ^^;;;
XD now, what school should I torture next…? *kekek*
Thanks for reading and leave a review please! ^^;
