Momoshiro adjusted his peach-colored tie nervously as he approached the elegant doors of the most expensive restaurant in the country (one which he would not even dare to dream of eating there, why, just the service charge alone would probably cost a week of his allowance!)

The only reason why he was there was because of Atobe Keigo. Somehow, the great Atobe had decided to invite every junior high's regulars to dine at this fancy restaurant.

Still… he needn't put on such airs.

"Be awed by the name of the restaurant, for the great ore-sama would only choose the best. Now ore-sama has decided to let you peasants have a taste of what ore-sama call REAL food, and not the filth you eat. So bow down to me. Now."

Momoshiro would have beaten the daylights out of Atobe if he was not busy gaping at the gold-lined invitation card. So now, he had finally stepped into this famous restaurant, not wasting any more time staring at the decorations, he headed straight for the buffet table. Rows and rows of delicious food seemed to be screaming at him "Eat me, eat me!"

Momoshiro was in heaven. He quickly piled his plate with those cute little cream cakes and two slices of the renowned lemon crème pie. He was just about to take a bite out of the pie when the restaurant's fire alarm started shrieking.

"Thump!"

"Itai…" Momoshiro rubbed his head and reached for his ringing cell phone.

"Moshi moshi…" He wiped off his drool with the back of his hand as he cursed inwardly at the caller for disrupting his dream.

"…Momo-sempai."

"ECHIZEN? You only know how to spoil my fun don't you?"

"….huh?"

"You woke me up from the best dream ever!"

"…Momo-sempai… hentai."

"Nani? I was dreaming of food. That father of yours is a bad influence!"

"…. Ahem, anyway… Kevin is inviting us…"

"O'Chibi? Yeah, Oishi! Our kawaii O'chibi-chan is calling me nyah!"

Ryoma moved the phone a few centimeters away from his ear and waited for Eiji to calm down from the 'excitement' of receiving a call from their adorable but antisocial kouhai.

"Hoi hoi, O'chibi-chan! Did you miss me?" Eiji asked in a sing-song voice

He was beginning to regret calling Eiji, scratched that, he was regretting the fact that he accepted Kevin's invitation in the first place.

"…Kikumaru-sempai. Kevin invited us…" Ryoma said in that monotone way of his, effectively brushing aside his sempai's awkward question.

He heaved a big sigh of relief as he put down the phone. Smirking slightly, he wondered how Oishi-sempai was going to calm his adorable Eiji down.

Two down, six more to go…Ryoma reached out wearily for his phone book.

"Moshi Moshi."

"Kaidoh-sempai please."

"….speaking. Who are you?"

"Echizen."

"Ah, yes?"

"Are you sure you are Kaidoh-sempai?"

"Yes."

"…are you absolutely sure?"

"…yes. What do you want, Echizen."

"Are you really sure?"

"YES! I AM KAORU KAIDOH! GET ON WITH IT!"

"Oh, gomen, was just double checking."

"…why?"

"Well… you didn't…" Ryoma was about to continue his observation when he was interrupted with an impatient hiss (Kaidoh: Fushuu!)… "hiss… never mind. Anyway, Kelvin invited us over…"

That brat, Kaidoh thought as he replaced the phone, annoying me like that…Saying I didn't hiss… Kaoru Kaidoh does not hiss! (Fushuu) . Do I?

"Heh, that was unexpectedly fun." Ryoma mused out loud as he started dialing the next Regular.

"(machine twirling) (Beep) You have reached Fuji Residence. No one is currently available to answer your call. You can, however, leave a message. If you are that purple hippopotamus who always harassed my cute little brother, I would advise you to end the call. Now."

"…. Fuji-sempai. This is Echizen calling. Cut out the act. Now."

"Saa… how did you know it wasn't a real message?"

"I just know. Anyway, Kevin invited us to his…"

"Oh, can I bring my brother?"

"I don't know, Fuji-sempai."

"Why not? Yuuta is cute."

"It doesn't matter to me whether he is or not, sempai."

"Saa, really?"

"Erm, really. Anyway, it is rude to bring 10 when the host says 9 people."

"Ahh, fine then. I'll just make nee-chan baby-sit Yuuta-chan."

"…whatever."

Ryoma thanked Kami-sama silently that he did not have a brother like Fuji.

"Ano…Arigatou…for informing me, Echizen-kun. I'll try to make it…"

"Tell your father it's training."

"…(Gasp) demo, that will be lying! … but it does seem like a good idea…"

"Oi! Either ask the caller to order his sushi or hang up the phone. We are very busy right now!"

"Ahh, Echizen-kun, my father is calling for me. I'll let you know by tonight."

"Fine with me."

"Ah, Echizen. We are going on an outing?"

"…How did you know?"

"I tapped your phone."

"…"

"…"

"(Whoosh, whoosh), click click click, tap tap tap."

"It's a joke. No need to swing and prod your phone like that."

"So how did you know?"

"Kaidoh called."

"Ahh, okay. (Click)"

Inui looked at the phone, amused. Echizen is quite gullible, and he went to record down his latest observation.

"May I speak to Buchou please."

"Who?"

"Ah.. Tezuka-buchou."

"Oh… Mitsu-chan! There's a call for you darling!"

"Mitsu-chan?" Ryoma repeated with a snicker.

"Hnh."

"Ahh! Buchou, this is Echizen."

"Hnh."

"…Kevin invited the Regulars to his father's new Bumper Car Park."

"…."

"And I accepted the invitation."

"Hnh."

"So are you going?"

"Hnh."

"All right, see you then."

"That was what I call a one-sided conversation." Ryoma muttered as he replaced his phone. Picking up his racket, he went out to challenge his baka oyaji to a match.I'll make sure he loses so much that he cries. Heh.

(A/N: heh, I seem to like to write this kinda phone calls...)
