Disclaimer: Why do we even need these? This is a fan fiction site, no? Okay, whatever. I do not own the Prince of Tennis (other than the mangas I bought… but that doesn't count). All Prince of Tennis stuff is the property of creator Takeshi Konomi.
Summary: Momo hearts Ann, Akira hearts Ann, who does Ann like?
Notes: I decided to write this because when my younger sister and I play Prince of Tennis we always through in the plot twist of Momo/Ann:Akira/Ann:Ann? So I thought I'd make a fanfiction about it. Please read and review. Old Fiat may not have a chance to update because we will be travelling on the continent (Europe) again, but we'll do our best.
Chapter One:
Takeshi Momoshiro was top of the world. He was full of confidence and was going to go do what he had been planning on all spring. Ask Ann Tachibana on a date with him to lunch or a film. He had some orchids in hand and some chocolates stored carefully in his messenger bag. He walked up to the door and knocked lightly on it.
'Hello?' Kippei Tachibana wrenched the door open. 'What are you doing here Momoshiro of Seishun?'
'We have titles now? Okay, I'll play along then Tachibana of Fudomine,' Momo rolled his eyes. 'I'm here to see Miss Ann Tachibana.'
'Well you can't,' Kippei gave him a significant look. 'She's talking to Kamio.'
'Whatever, that doesn't mean that I can't see her,' Momo tried to squeeze past Kippei but he couldn't. 'Let me in!' he shouted.
'What's going on?' Ann came down the stairs, closely followed by the speedy Akira Kamio. 'Momoshiro? Hi, what are you doing here?'
'I'm here to see you but this brute won't let me in!' said Momo, disgruntled.
'Kippei let him in,' Ann grabbed Kippei's hand and pulled him out of the doorway. 'I'm sorry for my brother's rudeness.' She glared at Kippei.
'That's all right,' Momo scratched the back of his neck. 'May I talk to you alone?'
'Yes, of course,' she said. 'Follow me.' They walked upstairs to Ann's room which was decorated in Pink and Teal. 'What is it?' she smiled and sat down on the bed.
'I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me,' Momo had lost a bit of confidence in the doorway, but not all. 'Like to a lunch, or the cinema.'
'Oh, Momo, I'd love to,' said Ann, she looked like she meant it. 'But I'm going out with Akira.'
'What?' Momo was shocked. 'I didn't know you liked him?'
'Well, truthfully I don't really,' she said, lowering her voice. 'But I feel really bad for him. His mother died six months ago giving birth to his little brother and he's really down.'
'Well,' Momo tried not to sound too heartless. 'I would feel better, if I was Akira, to know that I was going out with a girl that liked me rather than one that's pretending to.'
Ann made a noise of agreement.
'So, will you go to the cinema with me?' Momo smiled in a sympathetic way. 'Please say yes.'
'Okay,' she grinned. 'But Akira can't know.'
'Of course not,' Momo put his hand over his heart. 'I shall take this secret with me to the grave.'
'Or until Akira gets another girlfriend.'
Momo gave a half smile. 'It could happen.' They both laughed.

'What's wrong with you?' Kaoru sneered.
'Nothing, Viper, I'm going on a date!'
'Who would be so stupid as to go out with you?' Ryoma raised his eyebrows.
'Ann— er, you wouldn't know her, she's not in your year,' Momo sighed.
'It's Tachibana Ann, isn't it?' said Eiji, giving O'Chibi a noogie. 'Where are you going?'
'The cinema,' said Momo. 'But don't tell anyone. Especially Akira Kamio.'
'Why? Does he like Ann too?' Inui was writing all this down.
'Yes, but she's just dating him because she feels sorry for him,' Momo grinned. 'She really fancies me, not him.'
'Tachibana's younger sister is dating you?' Fuji retied his trainers. 'That interesting.'
'Don't go spreading it around though,' Momo looked around. 'Or she could be in a lot of trouble.'
