Kumiko: (is back from running) reviews replies! Wai! (steals ryoma's ponta) :D

ltifal –

hehe thank you n.n yesh I will definitely keep on writing :D

saki-kun –

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! XD not like it's a bad thing to have yaoi, but with more than 70 percent of the Prince of Tennis stories being shounen ai and yaoi, it just kind of good for a normal humorous story, right? But I don't completely hate shounen ai either n.n'' for yaoi fans out there! Watch Loveless O.O I guarantee your liking-ness XD (I bought a hilarious shounen ai PoT doujinshi at my local anime convention a few days ago :3)

Xxlemonsxx –

Of course Kikumaru is cute! XD anybody who thinks that Eiji is NOT kawaii will be severely stabbed by me! (innocent smile) eh heh just kidding XD

ki-ku-maru BEAM –

I was going to do what you suggested with making the author notes like foot notes, but then, what would break the flow even more is that if the reader doesn't know what the Japanese means and they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to read the translation, so I think it's better the way I have it now n.n'' I doubt I can be as original as that O.o I only have momentary creative jolts that spark my imagination XD

Rainrukawa –

Fart bags? XDDD I totally love that idea, but I'm not one to make pranks, so I wouldn't be really good at writing about it either n.n'' as for the updating, I don't think I'll update each chapter unless I get around 10 reviews each chapter n.n I know it's a lot to ask for, but getting reviews makes me happy :D

dream-angel114 –

onee-chan, those Inui juice balloons are property of moi! BWAHAHA! And of course I tell Inui to make the Inui juice :3 if he doesn't…I make him drink MY special ultra evil and fused with the grossest kinds of food in universe Kumiko juice :3 and yes Momo is DEFINITELY hamburger obsessed XD

flute4ever330 –

your band director makes you run laps? EVIL XD a prank on Atobe? The all cocky MONKEY KING! XDD I love ryoma's nickname for him XD hm…I suppose I can kind of fit that in this chapter, but maybe I'll do a more "specifically pranking on Atobe" chapter another time XD

Punjabi Patipees –

Hahahaha yes I know I can't even believe I did that XD I was originally thinking of Momo getting revenge for Ann but then my sister hates the Momo and Ann pairing XD so to avoid having my head bitten off by her, I changed it to getting revenge for hamburgers :3 it's a lot more kawaii, ne?

Kumiko: this chapter might be a bit longer than the others because of all the things that happen n.n''

Phase 3 (Chapter 3) – Charades at Echizen Ryoma's house

Step 1 – Stuff yourselves full. (optional)

"Mou….Momo! I'm hungry! Let's go get hamburgers! You're paying! You don't expect your senpai to pay twice in a week do you?" Kikumaru whined while his stomach growled.

"Hai, hai, Eiji-senpai. I'm also craving hamburgers, but I have a better idea….."

At the front door of the Echizen residence –

"Ryoma, go see who's at the door!" Echizen Nanjiroh lay on the floor reading some things that…well..smaller children shouldn't see.

"Oyaji..why can't you ever being a pervert and actually do some things around here once in a while?" Nanjiroh ignored Ryoma and sent him off to open the door.

(A/N: oyaji – this should be what ryoma calls his dad, which is something along the lines of dad but saying it in a way that he's his "old man" XD)

"Ochibi!" Ryoma's cat like senpai glomped him in a friendly way and Momo greeted him with a smirk.

Ryoma scowled but sighed and calmed down, as he was already used to his immature senpais. "Ohayo…."

(A/N: Ohayo – good morning)

"Echizen, let's go get hamburgers." Momoshiro had a crooked smile on his face which now matched the one that was on Kikumaru's face.

"Hai….but…I have a feeling there's another reason you invited me…could it be?" Ryoma ran for the safety of his house while trying to shut the door behind his hamburger buddies.

"Nyann! Echizen-chan! Just this once! Onegaiiiiiii! Just pay for the hamburgers just this once!" Kikumaru whined once again.

(A/N: onegai – please)

Ryoma's strength obviously couldn't match the strength of Momo, let alone both the junior and senior senpais before him. "Fine…I'll buy you two burgers, just wait for me to get my wallet." Ryoma gave up and sighed.

"Ochibi! No wonder you're so short! The more you sigh the shorter you get!"

(A/N: I got this out of a manga called Girl Got Game, it's kind of a reference, because this character keeps sighing and she's really short where as her room mate is really tall so he's mocking her about being vertically-challenged XD)

At the local burger shop –

Ryoma didn't care about what Kikumaru said, he just kept sighing at the fact that his senpais were completely embarrassing him.

"I want..5 hambugers, 2 colas and 3 fries!" Momo's order was HUGE seeing that he WAS Momo.

"Nyan…I want this, and this, and this! Tee hee heehe! Arigatou Ochibi!"

30 minutes later –

"Ah…I'm nice and full, thanks for the meal Echizen!" Kikumaru and Momo joyfully walked back to Ryoma's house, while Ryoma just sulked and stared at his empty wallet.

Step 2 – Get the Game Started!

Back at Ryoma's house, in Ryoma's room –

"Nyann..i'm bored! Let's play a game! Hm….let's play…charades! We have to act out something but we can only use actions and no words! Guess who I am!" Kikumaru put some glasses with thick lenses and held up a cup in one hand, and a notebook in the other while pushing up the bridge of the glasses.

Ryoma now had an interest in what his senpai was doing and immediately spoke up. "Inui-senpai!"

"Bing bong! Ochibi gets one point!"

Momo was also fascinated at this game and he thought of someone to imitate. "Hm…oh guess who this is!" Momo let his arms hang loosely in front of him and moved his lips so it looked like he was hissing.

Both Ryoma and Kikumaru answered at the same time. "Kaidoh!"

Ryoma also joined in and imitated someone. "Senpai-tachi…Mada Mada Dane." With that Ryoma smirked and began his impersonation. He kept his eyes closed and smiled a slightly creepy smile and grabbed his racket to get into the position for a Higuma Otoshi.

"Nyann! It's Fuji! My turn!" Eiji folded his arms and nodded a few times and started to speak. "I have 2 years experience of tennis!"

"Horio!" Momo was laughing so hard that it actually came out sounding something like 'Ho..hahahaha.ri..hahaha..o!"

"Kikumaru-senpai, I thought that we couldn't speak. You're violating your own rules!" Ryoma was being a little bit strict today because of that fact that his wallet had suddenly become an empty space.

"Nyann I never did really like rules, LET'S PLAY WITHOUT THEM!" Kikumaru bounced around Ryoma's room with excitement.

"Oooo I got one! Echizen come here!" Ryoma walked over to Momoshiro and looked at his senpai with curiousity. Before he knew it, Momo had snatched Ryoma's cap and put it over his own hair. Momo grabbed Ryoma's racket and a can of grape Ponta. "Mada Mada Dane."

"Nyahahahahaha! It's Ochibi!"

Ryoma was slightly irritated and got some water to spike up his hair a little. He took his racket back from Momoshiro and pretended to dunk a tennis ball. "Don!"

"AHAHAHAHAHHAHA! IT'S MOMO!" Kikumaru laughed so hard he fell on the floor rolling around.

At this point both Momoshiro and Ryoma were mad and stuck a bandage on their right cheek. "Nyan! Hoi hoi!" the two irritated seigaku regulars said at the same time.

The three Seigaku students were quarreling when Momo stopped and suggested another person that woud be fun to imitate.

"We should be….Tezuka-buchou!"

"Good idea Momo! You do it!"

"Momo-senpai…as Tezuka-buchou? HAHAHA good luck Momoshiro-senpai, I doubt you'll be able to keep a straight face!"

Momoshiro put on glasses with a thin frame and folded his arms in front of his chest. Amazingly, Momo COULD keep a straight face that closely resembled that of Kunimitsu Tezuka's.

"Eh hem hem….Momoshiro…200 laps around Echizen's house! NOW!"

Ryoma, Kikumaru and especially Momo were shocked to see the rest of the Seigaku regulars standing at the door to Ryoma's room.

"We had a night practice an hour ago, don't you remember? The three of you didn't show up so we came looking for you! I thought you three were in some kind of trouble! You know how much I worried?" Oishi looked like he was going to blow up when he scolded the three mischief makers.

"Nyanheh heh…now I remember…" Kikumaru headed for the door, trying to escape, but not before Tezuka spoke up. "Kikumaru, Echizen! 100 laps around Echizen's house!"

The ones with assigned laps hurried outside to run before Tezuka got even angrier.

"You have to admit Tezuka, Momo's imitation of you was pretty good." Tezuka stared at Fuji and was about to speak but Fuji interrupted.

"100 laps right? I could use a jog every now and then anyways."

"No Fuji…300 laps."

Outside Ryoma's house –

"Nyannnnnnn! It's all your fault Momo! Come here!" Kikumaru chased after Momoshiro seeking revenge while Fuji and Ryoma ran at a steady pace.

"Looks like you three had an interesting day, ne, Echizen?"

(A/N: ne – right)

"Hai…Fuji-senpai."
