(Explaining is useless…)
The next morning, Amy soon woke up.
She glanced at the person beside her and smiled, for she saw Ryoma sleeping peacefully.
'Hmm… He must have been very tired, because he must have felt nothing but being in another world. Gomen, Ryoma-kun,' Amy thought, with a sweet smile.
She caressed Ryoma's cheek then moved carefully off the bed, then tucked Ryoma in.
'Ryoma-kun, kawaii!' she thought, with a giggle, as she left the room.
When the door shut, Ryoma immediately got off of bed, beat red.
"What was…?" Ryoma felt his heart. It beat rather quickly.

Meanwhile, Amy was standing behind her door with a smile on.
"I knew he was awake," she said quietly to herself.
She then walked downstairs with her robe on.
When she got downstairs she found Fuji watching television with Kikumaru.
"Ohayo gozaimasu," Amy said, with a smile.
"Ah. Ohayo, Amy-chan," Fuji said, with a gentle smile.
"Ohayo, Amy-chan!" Kikumaru said, giving Amy a big bear hug.
"Ohayo… Kiku-chan," Amy said, trying to bear with his hug.
"Eiji, you should really give her some air," Fuji chuckled.
Kikumaru looked at Amy's expression, then immediately let her go for air.
"Gomenasai, Amy-chan!" Kikumaru exclaimed, fanning her.
"Daijobu, daijobu. I'm not dead yet," Amy said, with a smile.
Kikumaru's smile returned.
"Oi…" Tezuka said, from the stairs.
Beside him was Ryoma.
Amazingly, the two looked so much alike. Their hair was messed up, they wore an annoyed expression, and their voice are low.
"Sugoi! There's Buchou, and mini Buchou! Sugoi!" Kikumaru exclaimed, practically loud enough for everyone in the neighborhood to hear.
"Ittai! Kikumaru-senpai… Onegai! Don't scream!" Ryoma said, covering his ears.
"Ah! Gomen, Chibi! Ne, what's for breakfast?" Kikumaru asked, looking at Amy.
"Kikumaru-kun, that's not polite," Fuji said, with a smile.
"Wakata, demo I'm very hungry," Kikumaru said, rubbing his tummy.
"Daijobu, Suyusuke-kun. I'll get started on it, right away," Amy said, with a smile.
"Ah, I'll go help you," Fuji said, following her to the kitchen.
'Kuso! I forgot to press record!' Tezuka thought, as he looked at the video camera which he brought down with him.

After a while, Fuji and Amy finished making breakfast.
All, but Tezuka was amazed by the amount of food they made.
"Sugoi, Fuji, Amy-chan! Demo, I don't think we can finish this," Kikumaru said, eyeing the amount of food on the dining table.
"Hm? Oh, gomen, this is for Onii-chan. Yours is over there," Amy said with a smile.
All but Amy and Fuji looked at Tezuka.
"Interesting… I have finally found how big Tezuka's appetite is. Thank you for letting me stay, Amy-chan," Inui said, with a bow, but not before scribbling some notes onto his notebook.
"Umm… daijobu, Sadaharu-kun," Amy said, uncomfortably.
Ryoma and Kikumaru turned to Fuji who was just merely smiling.
"Nani?" Fuji asked, his smile not leaving.
"Betsuni, demo… how did you know the Tezuka-buchou had such a huge appetite?" Ryoma asked, looking at him suspiciously.
Fuji just leaned closer to him and whispered, "Se. Cr. Et."
Ryoma was uncomfortable with the distance Fuji and he had, which was very close.
"Wh-Whiz…" Ryoma said, pulling his hat out of his pocket then putting it on his head, then pulling it down (me: Try to bear with it, please).
Tezuka got to his chair, while the rest observed him eat.
Tezuka gave a stern look as he ate his Misu soup.
"Nani?" he said, in his low pitch voice.
"Nandemonai," they chorused.
Tezuka just gave them a look and continued eating his food.
"Inui-kun, would you like some more mashed potatoes?" Amy asked, politely.
"Aa. Arigato," Inui said, taking the bowl of mashed potatoes (me: I like potatoes :D)
After Inui took one bite of the mashed potatoes, he got his notebook again and eyed Tezuka, scribbling more data.
"Hmm… It's strange how Tezuka can eat so much and never get fat…" Kikumaru whispered to Ryoma.
Amy just smiled as the two spoke to each other.
"Itadakimasu," Tezuka said, picking up the empty plates.
Everyone but Amy, Fuji and Inui (me: meaning only Ryoma and Kikumaru), looked at Tezuka wide-eyed.
"NANI! I haven't even taken at least 5 bites on my food, and yet you're finished! Sugoi…" Kikumaru said, amazed.
Tezuka ignored his comment and just continued cleaning the plates.
"Onii-chan has been training since he was 6. That's why he never gets big," Amy said, cleaning her plate up.
"Amy-chan, you're done? I didn't see you lift the spoon," Kikumaru said, looking at her concerned.
"Ne? Iie, I'm just not the hungry. I ate a lot of wasabi yesterday, so I'm quite full," Amy said, putting her plate in the sink.
"Amy," Tezuka said, frighteningly.
"Hai?" Amy answered, calmly.
"Can you fix the courts? I want you to practice with Kikumaru after he finishes with his food, and after you finish with the dishes," Tezuka said, folding his hands across his chest.
"Hai," Amy said, with a smile, as she continued with the dishes.
"Man… doesn't it hurt to keep that smile on?" Ryoma whispered to Fuji, not realizing it.
"Iie... It's actually rather relaxing," Fuji said, with a smile.
Ryoma squinted as he realized what he had just asked Fuji.
"Amy-chan, let me help you with the dishes," Fuji said, bringing his plate over to Amy.
Ryoma stared at them as they smiled at each other.
'Hmph! What do I care!' Ryoma thought, giving Fuji a nasty look.
Fuji noticed the look Ryoma was giving him, but ignored it.
"Amy-chan, you can play tennis?" Fuji asked, whipping the wet dishes.
"Aa. I started 3 days ago. My Onii-chan likes tennis, so I thought, maybe it wouldn't be bad if I learned another sport," Amy said, washing the dishes.
"Sokka… Are you good?" Fuji asked, with a smile.
"I wouldn't say so," Amy said with a giggle.
"Amy-chan! Hayaku!" Kikumaru said, waving from the court.
"Ah! Hai!" Amy said, speeding up with the dishes.

After a while, the game between Kikumaru and Amy went up to already 5-2 with Amy in the lead.
It was already Amy's match point; amazingly, she didn't look at all tired, while Kikumaru was trying his best to stay in his normal form.
'Gomena, Kiku-chan. I made the game long enough so I hope this got you excited enough,' Amy thought, getting ready to serve.
'Sugoi… I didn't think Amy-chan would be this good… She's definitely better than Chibi… Kuso… it's like playing with Tezuka… Kuso…' Kikumaru thought, breathing heavily.
"Here I go, Kiku-chan!" Amy called, getting ready to serve.
"Aa! I'm ready!" Kikumaru said, with his child like smile.
Amy shot him an easy serve then ran towards the net.
'Net? She knows what the consequences are, right? Oh well. Gotta take my only chance!' Kikumaru thought, getting ready.
Kikumaru lobbed the ball. Kikumaru put a smile on, confident that he will get a point, demo…
'Ah! Kuso!' Kikumaru suddenly thought.
Amy ran backwards and jumped so high that it passed the ball. Once she was about to land, she did two back flips, but before she landed she hit the ball, so hard that it stayed put once it reached the other side.
"6 games to 2. Game and match Amy Tezuka," Ryoma said, his mouth hanging wide open.
Ryoma and Kikumaru's eyes were directly pointed at Amy.
Inui was scribbling like mad in his notebook.
While Tezuka and Fuji looked at Amy normally.
"Amy…" Tezuka said firmly.
"Nani?" Amy asked, her smile not fading.
"…Next time go higher. If you had failed your landing there would have been a 95 chance that you would break neck, because of the amount weight you're carrying," Inui said, for Tezuka.
Tezuka just nodded.
"Amount… weight? …Onii-chan!" Amy said, blushing.
Tezuka realized what she was blushing for, and immediately shook his head.
"Iie. We don't mean you're fat. We mean the sweat bands," Tezuka explained.
Amy still blushed.
"Onii-chan, Sadaharu-kun, I would appreciate it if you didn't stare at my legs!" Amy said, worryingly.
"Sadaharu! Stop staring at Amy's legs! You too!" Tezuka said, looking at Ryoma and Kikumaru's expression as they stared at Amy's legs.
"We were staring at the sweat bands!" Kikumaru yelled, blushing.
"Then why are you blushing, Kikumaru-senpai?" Ryoma asked, with a smirk.
"Iie! Urusai, Chibi!" Kikumaru said, squeezing Ryoma.
"How many bars are in there?" Fuji asked Tezuka.
"About 3 in each, I think…" Tezuka answered, dully.
"3 BARS!" Kikumaru and Ryoma chorused.
Inui continued to scribble in his notebook.
"Tezuka-buchou, are people from your family majors in tennis or something!" Ryoma exclaimed, though his expression not changing.
"Majors? What are you talking about, Echizen? She has a lot to learn still…" Tezuka commented, not seeing the awful expression Kikumaru was giving him.
"A lot to learn! When you say that, it's like we regulars have just started playing tennis! You're the Buchou! You should know when one is ready to be a starter and when not!" Kikumaru exclaimed, outraged.
"I guess… She is better than you… so maybe."
"BAKA!" Kikumaru yelled.
He then went back inside.
"Mada mada dane, senpai," Ryoma mumbled, with an amused expression, as he walked back inside.
Tezuka looked around him and noticed that he and Inui were the only ones left in the backyard.
"Ne! I didn't see Fuji go inside!" Tezuka exclaimed.
"He went back 2 minutes ago," Inui said, his eyes not leaving his notebook as he scribbled down more data.
Tezuka realized something and immediately ran in the house, heading straight to Amy's room.
"Hmm… this can get interesting," Inui mumbled to himself, his glasses making a shine.

Meanwhile, Amy. "Hmm… Today was sure exciting… I wonder what Ann-chan is doing… probably with Kippei-Oniichan… Uggh! Where is she when I need her!" Amy mumbled to herself, lying on her bed.
"If you want, Amy-chan, I'll take you to Tachibana's house. May I come in?" Fuji said, from the opposite side of the door.
Amy blushed like mad, but forced it in, leaving a smile on her face.
"H-hai," Amy said, nervously.
Fuji went in with a smile.
"Gomen, I couldn't help over hear what you were saying," Fuji said, walking towards her.
He sat on the edge of her bed, with a smile.
"Ah, daijobu, daijobu, it was my fault anyways. I shouldn't have been talking aloud," Amy said, forcing her smile.
"Amy-chan…" Fuji said, softly.
"Na." Amy's words were cut for Fuji planted a kiss on her lips.
Amy didn't know what to say, but…
"AAaaaah!" she screamed.
Amy fell off her bed, as she tried to stay away from Fuji.
"I can explain!" Fuji yelled, trying to calm her down.
"Yameru! Get away! Get away!" Amy yelled, throwing pillows at Fuji.
Tezuka soon barged in.
"Amy what's…"
Tezuka immediately realized what Fuji had just done.
He closed his eyes taking long deep breaths.
"Tezuka, I can expla."
"Fuji… get out of my house…" Tezuka said, fiercely.
"Demo."
"Now… and you better hurry…" Tezuka said, his look more fierce than usual.
Fuji didn't bother to hesitate anymore, and head out, but not before sighting the nasty looks the others were giving him.
When he got out, he leaned on the door, covering his face.
'Ittai… what have I done…?' he thought to himself.
He then got back to his normal posture and head home.
