Title: DATE da!

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".

CHAPTER 1 – Confession

At a corner of the school building not far from where the substitute captain of the Seigaku tennis club and the freshman from Yamabuki High were standing, was a bush behind which the genius of net play from the Seigaku team and the freshman prodigy of the same club were hiding, spying on the encounter between the pair.

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, you're Dan kun from Yamabuki, right?" Oishi greeted the first year. "How may I help you? Oh! Is it that you'd like to join our practice again? We welcome you any time! When would you like to come again?" he said over enthusiastically.

"Eh, no… Um, actually… Um… The truth is… The truth is, Oishi-san! I admire you a lot!" exclaimed Dan, snapping his eyes shut to soften whatever impact of the response.

Oishi looked overwhelmed. He calmed down a bit and said, "Don't tell me you came all the way here just to say that… Besides, I thought it was Echizen-kun whom you admired."

Now Dan's eyes were wide open. As if close to tears, he looked straight at the person he admired with watery eyes and said, "No, it is Oishi-san that I really like! Please do not doubt my feelings for you, Oishi-san! I wish to go out with Oishi-san!"

Once again, Oishi was overwhelmed. His face then changed for a fraction of a second to a lonely expression, then back to his normal kind one with a smile. "Is that so. I understand. Let's date."

Behind the bush, the ever so energetic cat-like teenager was ever so dumbstruck. He was very disappointed, though he could not understand why. He listened to his heart, which was telling him that Oishi being with that Yamabuki kid was bad and that he should do everything to stop it. With the pair walking past his eyes to leave the school campus, Kikumaru grabbed hold of Echizen's arm tightly.

"Sempai, it hurts…"

"Kiddo! We're going to follow them, OK?" Kikumaru exclaimed, and with that he shot out from behind the bush, dragging poor Echizen behind him.

Author's Notes: I don't think I did a very good job of putting the thoughts into good literature… And it's still much too short! But hope you enjoyed XP
