Disclaimer: As much as I'd LOVE to…I DO NOT own Prince of Tennis or ANY OTHER works of anime/manga. BUT! If you'd like to sue, try and win against the Golden Pair in a tennis match first (like you'd be able to even really find them…)
WARNINGS: This fan fiction contains materials that may upset people who oppose homosexual relationships (if you don't know what that means, it's yaoi, m/m relationships. If you still don't get it, I suggest you leave). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Summary: A slight parody to episode 71, supposedly set some time after episode 89. This is not the same as my other story, "It's a Date".

PROLOGUE
This day was just like any other day. Oishi was always the last one to leave after club practice since he needed to lock up the rooms.
"Ah? Eiji, you're waiting for me today?" the substitute captain asked hopefully. This was just like any other day, just that you could never be sure with the unpredictable acrobatic player.
"Sorry! Oishi, can you please unlock the room? I left my candy in there," Kikumaru begged as if his life depended on that piece of candy.
"Ah, ok," came the short reply. There was a slight disappointment in Oishi's tone, but Kikumaru was too concerned about his precious piece of sweet to notice.
"Yay! Thank you, Oishi! Nya, do you want to come with us to get burgers?"
"No, you go. I have something else I need to go." Oishi lied. He lied because he had hoped that it would be just the two of them.
"Okay, thanks again!" the cat-like youth expressed his gratitude in his usual childish tone and went off looking for the kiddo and the power house to get burgers.
"Ah! Echizen-kun!" a voice exclaimed. The voice came from a boy with the same height as Echizen, the same hair colour as Echizen, holding the same attire as Echizen, but wearing the uniform of Yamabuki High. The boy's name was Dan Taiichi. It appeared that he had been running.
"Nya? Why are you in such a hurry, kiddo second?" asked the happy acrobat who was now clinging onto Echizen.
"Kiddo… second desu?" Dan was confused. "In a hurry… desu? Ah! May I ask if Oishi-san is around?" He sounded urgent. "Worry" was written all over his face.
"Oishi? He was still round the corner there just now," answered Kikumaru in his ever so childish tone, but there was a hint of something else.
"Ah, arigato desu!" said the Yamabuki manager quickly and ran towards the suggested direction with a hopeful and slightly relieved face, suspiciously like that of a person who just recovered his precious treasure…
---
"Hmm…? Why is he so in a hurry…? Kiddo, Momo, let's follow him!" suggested the acrobat excitedly, bouncing up and down pointing in the direction that the "kiddo second" went.
"Ah, Eiji-sempai, I'm sorry. Something came up. I'll see you two later!" gripping the cell phone in his hand, the Dunk Smasher went out of sight hurriedly.
"WHAAAT? Such a let down," the cat-like youth pouted. He quickly turned to his kiddo with an expression of anger, disappointment and looked as if he's ready to pound on anyone to try to get his way. "Ne, kiddo, you don't have anything to do, right?"
With a shocked expression on his face, Echizen tried to back away from the cat-like sempai while answering, "Eh? No… But…"
"Then let's go follow them! Come on!" Mr. Acrobatics and his quick reactions immediately cut him off and dragged him to hide with him behind a bush.

Author's Notes: This was actually started around the same time as Chapter 5 of Undirected Play, but I kept thinking that it's not yet long enough… But somehow I now feel that it's a good place to stop, here… I hope you like it and want more, because there's more to come D (It's true! The thoughts are all here, just the problem of putting them into good words, good literature…)
