When the mind blowing suspense occurred, Miru and Mira, "Ne! Mira! Did you see that! That smiley-faced guy just got hit by that ball!" Miru exclaimed, the binoculars not leaving her eyes.
"So? That's likely when you're a tennis player," Mira answered, casually, as she ate her burger.
Miru just gave her an annoyed look. "Mira, do you see his opponent?" Miru asked, trying to make a point.
Mira took the binoculars away from her annoyed older twin and eyed the smiley-faced guy's opponent. "Hm, he seems pretty buff… hey… this is the guy that sat behind you, ne?" Mira asked, looking over her sister.
"Aa, and by the looks of it, he must be used to playing power tennis…" Miru said, as a matter-of-factly kind of way.
Mira then turned to the smiley-faced guy, "Well… he didn't get a bruise, so they must have not been playing it all out… good thing, cause he's pretty cute," Mira said, not realizing what she just stated.
Miru looked at her wide-eyed, not believing what was coming out of her younger twin's mouth. "Mira… are you sure that burger you're eating isn't poisoned? Cause… I've not once heard you say the word 'guy' and 'cute' at the same sentence…" Miru said, moving two steps away from her sister.
Mira looked at her oddly. "Hello, it's not as if I'm in love with him… but seeing how Amy-chan's reacting right now… I don't mind a challenge…" Mira said, with a sly smile.
The older one just rolled her eyes, even more annoyed by her clueless sister (me: And a while ago Mira was annoyed because she thought Miru was clueless… haha!). "Did it ever occur to you that Amy-chan's a freshman! There's no way that could be her boyfriend…" Miru said, folding her arms above her chest.
"Wait a minute… what ever happened to your, Ohmigosh! No way! She never told me about this! Ugh, I can't wait to meet… She will pay… theory?"Mira asked, looking annoyed at Miru.
Miru said nothing, but, "Don't talk back to those who are older than you…" she then went back to her drawing.
Mira rolled her eyes, annoyed on how pathetic her older sister could be.

Amy and Momo helped Fuji up, carrying him to the drinking fountain.
"Saa… you didn't really have to carry me all the way to the water fountain, I mean… it's just next to our court, and… I was hit in the jaw… not the legs…" Fuji explained, with an uneasy smile.
Momo and Amy looked at each other then let go of Fuji. "Momo-chan… Ano… could you leave Suyusuke-kun and I alone for a while, please?" Amy asked, politely.
Momo nodded, then bowed to his senpai, in apology, soon taking off, back to the tennis courts.
Fuji washed his face, then turned to Amy. "Amy-chan… practice isn't over yet, ne? Is this important?" Fuji asked, concerned.
Amy just looked at the ground uneasily, Fuji thinking it was cute that she looked so confused.
"Ano… My cousin's are here, ne?" Amy asked, looking up to Fuji.
Fuji just looked at her and gave an, "Hm," as a sign that she was right.
Amy scrambled into thoughts, wondering why in the world would her two amazingly competitive cousin's were spying on the boy's tennis team using binoculars.
"You noticed that they were spying, ne?" Fuji asked, with a smile.
Amy just smiled back, and gave a nod.
Fuji and Amy turned to the direction Miru and Mira were.
--
"Ohmigosh, this isn't good," claimed Mira.
Miru stopped with her drawing, and turned to her younger sister, bewildered. "Nani?"
Mira wasn't sure if they were looking at them, because since Amy and the smiley-faced guy had their eyes closed, it was hard to tell if they were looking at them.
"Shoot, if she finds out that we're here, we'll be in trouble," Mira stated, panicking.
"Aa… Kunimitsu-itoko is sure to get angry seeing is that he was the one who planned all of this…" Miru added.
Miru and Mira escaped into thoughts, until, Miru, "I know! Maybe we could go talk to Amy-chan, without Kunimitsu-itoko's knowing, and ask her to act surprise once we go to her house!"
Mira shook her head, as a sign that the plan will definitely not work. "Iie… knowing Kunimitsu-itoko, he'll find out regardless of our hidings, and knowing Amy-chan so well, we don't have to tell her… she'll do it on her own…" Mira reminded, still thinking of a plan.
"Hmm… that may be so, but is she aware that we're planning a party, I think not! Therefore, we could still surprise her, regardless of our arrival!" Miru said, looking confindent.
"Sugoi, Nee-chan! I would have never thought that you'll have solutions for these kinds of problems… to think, you can't even beat my 90.7 average," Mira stated, teasingly.
"Well, at least I've solved this problem. I'm ashamed of you, Mira… you should be more like me," Miru said, with a smirk.
Mira rolled her eyes. "Oh, I'll be like you… when pigs can fly…" Mira said, going back to her burger.
"Whatever, but still, without me, you are nothing," Miru said, closing her eyes, going back to her drawing.
Mira looked at her, annoyed. 'Why couldn't I have been one…' Mira thought, regretting ever been born.
--
Amy and Fuji soon looked away from the two, thinking they were too old to be playing dress up.
"Hmm… the party will be held at my house, ne?" Amy asked, not even acting surprised.
Fuji just wrapped her around the shoulders. "Nothing gets passed you, huh, Amy-chan?" Fuji asked, giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Saa… I guess it's payback for last year…" Amy mumbled, putting her hands in her pocket.
Fuji looked at her, bewildered. "Hm? Why do you say that?" he asked, letting go of her.
Amy hesitated to answer. "Well…"
--
'Amy! Come on! We'll be late for class!' Miru yelled, running, as she pulled Amy behind her.
Amy acting bewildered, just ran along with her two energetic cousins. 'But-.'
'No but's Amy! Come on, class is about to start!' Mira then yelled, running next to her twin sister.
'There's no school today!' Amy yelled.
The two soon stopped. 'Amy…' was all that escaped Miru's mouth.
'Damn! You know already!' Mira yelled.
Amy just sighed in agreement. 'Surprise…'
--
"Sokka… demo, why would they want payback?" Fuji asked, wondering.
Amy shrugged, not knowing what their reason could possibly be… it was obvious that she would never get surprised… the only time she 'was' surprised was when Fuji confessed to her (me: Which has not happened yet… stay tuned to PoL to read that part…).
After a while of silence a cat-like member soon popped out of nowhere, looking back and forth at the couple.
"Ne, Fujiko, Amy-chan, what are you looking at nya?" Kikumaru asked, looking at the direction they were looking at. "Ah! I've never seen that Sakura tree before!"
Amy and Fuji chuckled.
"Nandemonai, Kiku-chan. Ano I have to go back to my team. I'll catch you guys later. Ja ne," Amy said, soon leaving, but not before giving Fuji a peck on the cheek, and a warm hug on Kikumaru.
Fuji then turned back to the direction of the two girls… they were no longer at the tree, but walking back to the school. "Hmm… I think I've seen them somewhere before…" Fuji mumbled.
"Nya?"
--
Practice soon ended, and all went home.
Amy, Fuji, Kikumaru and Ryoma went home together, seeing is that they all went the same direction, while Tezuka had to stay a while longer, to discuss the match order with Ryuzaki-sensei.
"Ne, let's play a game," Amy said, with a smile, knowing Kikumaru was bored.
Kikumaru's face lit up, soon jumping around like a kid. "Yay, yay! Game, game!" Kikumaru yelled, with a smile.
Fuji chuckled. "What game did you plan on?" Fuji asked, with his usual smile.
"Well… I just learned this off of the internet… It's called the 'word processing game'…" Amy said, shyly.
"Ah, the one where one says something and the other has to say something related to it?" Fuji asked, holding Amy's hand, as they walked.
"Aa, that's it," Amy said, with a smile.
"Okay, okay! I'll start! Ano… family!" Kikumaru said, with a joyous smile.
"Dad."
"Mom."
"My house…"
The three looked at Ryoma.
Ryoma looked back at them, and pointed to the house in front of them. "This is my house," Ryoma said, soon leaving.
Amy and Fuji chuckled, while Kikumaru just pouted that they lost a playmate.
"Tadaima," Ryoma said, as soon as he got in his house.
Immediately he heard more than three's voices yelling out, "Okaerinasai."
He eyed the shoes that were on the floor, figuring that there were guests… female guests…
He went to the kitchen, and spotted two, oh-so familiar faces, pretending not to care.
"Konichuwa, Ryoma-kun!" the two chorused.
Ryoma took out his ponta and purposely blurted out, "Not really…"
Mira gave him a death glare.
"Ryoma-kun, do you remember them?" Nanako asked, politely.
Ryoma eyed them closely, pretending to not be familiar with them. "…I've never seen such hookers in my life…" Ryoma said, casually.
"NANI?" Mira and Miru yelled, not familiar with the sentence.
"Ryoma-kun! Don't be rude!" yelled Nanjirou. He then turned to the two lovely girls. "Please excuse my little seishounen… he's just too much of a mada mada dana."
"Urusai, you leacherous monk!" Ryoma yelled.
"Hmm… same old Ryoma…" Miru said, tapping her fingers on the table.
"Aa… disrespectful as he was in America…" Mira added.
Ryoma glared at them. "What are you here for, anyways?" Ryoma scowled, taking long sips of his ponta.
Miru took Mira's wallet, seeing that Mira was too angered, she didn't even noticed it was taken from her pocket.
"Well, we just came here to show you this. Remember? The first time we met? We played a match together, and we-."
"Oh yeah… I beated… her… I think, and this guy over here," Ryoma said, pointing to Mira then pointing to the guy in the picture.
"Aa, I had one myself, but I lost it along with my wallet," Miru said, disappointedly.
"Wallet? Hmm…." Ryoma said, looking at the picture, while drinking.
Mira took the picture away from her older sister and stood up.
"Hmph! That;s all in the past now! I'm definitely confident that I will beat you this time!" Mira yelled, confidently.
Ryoma just sat down, looking nonintimidated at all. "Go ahead… I've heard better confident remarks, but when they play another match against me… their plan just backfires, and I end up beating them," Ryoma explained, casually.
Mira looked away from him, obviously annoyed.
--
A long while passed, and Mira and Miru soon needed to go.
"Well, It's been nice talking to you, Ryoma-kun," Miru said, bowing politely.
"Cih! No it wasn't…" Mira said, smugly, not looking at Ryoma.
Ryoma just looked at Miru. "She's right, you know?" Ryoma said, not really caring.
Mira just gave an uneasy smile. "Ehe… Ja ne, Ryoma-kun!" she yelled, soon pulling her younger twin away from the house.
Ryoma soon went back to his house, looking the same.
"For twins they sure have different personalities," Nanjirou said, reading his… newspaper…
Ryoma just looked over to his oyagi. "Iie… they're just mental…"
Ryoma soon went to his room, ignoring his oyagi's remarks.
"Ah! The wallet!"
--
The next day, Ryoma was busy getting ready for school, when, "Oi! Echizen! Hurry up! We're gonna be late for school!" Momoshiro yelled, not caring what time it was.
Ryoma soon got out, giving his senpai a very annoyed look. "Momoshiro-senpai… have you any clue what time it is?" Ryoma asked, scowling at him.
Momo rolled his eyes. "Yeah! Time for you to shut up, and get on to school! Come on!" Momo yelled, getting back on his bike.
Ryoma scowled at him, and got on the back of his bike. 'Oh… 'I' should shut up!' Ryoma thought.
As they rode to school, Ryoma soon remembered, "Ne. Momoshiro-senpai, do you remember that girl who dropped her wallet?" Ryoma asked, wondering.
"Uh-huh, why? Love at first sight? Echizen, you dog!" Momo teased.
Ryoma scowled at him. "Iie, Momoshiro-senpai… I think that wallet may belong to the cousin of buchou's…" Ryoma explained, still scowling at Momo.
Momo's eyes grew wide, in surprise. "Nani!" Momo yelled, at the top of his lungs.
Ryoma fidgeted, nearly falling off of Momo's bike.
"Itai, Momo-senpai!" Ryoma yelled, ears aching.
Momo stopped, escaping into thoughts. "Echizen, this isn't good… this is definitely not good…" Momo mumbled, thinking.
"Doshtano, Momo-senpai?" Ryoma asked, getting off the bike.
Momo looked at Ryoma worried. "Echizen… if the wallet belongs to Tezuka-buchou's cousins… he might think we stole it, when we really just got it by coincidence…" Momo said, turning pale.
"Demo, Momo-senpai, the wallet isn't with us, remember?" Ryoma said, fixing his hat.
--
As Momo and Ryoma were panicking, well… only Momo was.
Two girls, who they were very familiar with, passed them, not even noticing.
"Come on! Onegai, Mira! You know I haven't found my wallet!" Miru said, begging.
"Iyadato! I won't treat you again! Besides, it's your fault for not taking care of your wallet! You're older than me! Shouldn't you be more responsible?" Mira pointed out.
Miru looked at her pleadingly. "I'm only 3 ½ minutes older than you! Come on!" Miru said, giving her the puppy dog pow. "Onegai, Mira! I'll pay you back! I promise!"
Mira looked at her, cocking her eyebrow. "You couldn't even pay back Jeffrey for that baseball ticket, just because you needed to buy the costume of an assassin for an anime convention, and we were freshmen that time! Tell me, have you paid him back?" Mira asked, making a point.
Suddenly, an idea popped out of Miru's head. "Maybe I can ask Kunimitsu-itoko!" Miru said, wondering.
"I guess, but he'll be pretty disappointed, seeing is that it was HE who gave you the wallet," Mira said, as a matter-of-factly.
Miru went back into thoughts, then looked back at Mira pleadingly.
Mira rolled her eyes, and gave in. "I won't lend you any money… but I guess I can help you tell Kunimitsu-itoko."
Miru squealed and gave her younger sister a hug. "Aishiteru, Mira-chan!" Miru exclaimed, giving her sister a hug.
Mira just squinted, trying to bear with her older sister's heaviness. "Alright, alright! Don't get too mushy!" she said, with a giggle.
--
Momo and Ryoma soon got to school, parting once they got inside.
Ryoma went somewhere, while Momo desperately tried to look for Fuji.
Luckily, he bumped into his fuku buchou, Oishi.
"Ne! Oishi-senpai! Have you seen Fuji-senpai?" Momo asked, looking desperate.
"Gomen ne, Momo. I haven't, but I think he's in the lib-."
Oishi's words were cut, for Momo immediately super dashed to the library, leaving Oishi, anime sweating as he watched Momo dash.
--
Momo soon arrived to the library, sighting Fuji, Amy, and his little Chibi, Ryoma (the only reason he's there is because Amy asked him to), using the computer.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Momo-chan," Amy said, sweetly.
"O-ohayo… Minna-san's…" he stuttered, looking around.
Ryoma covered himself with his hat and mumbled, "Sugoi, I'm surprised Momo-senpai actually knows of the library…"
Momo then looked over to Amy. "Ano… what is this place called again?" he asked.
Fuji, Amy, and Ryoma sweat dropped.
"The library, Momo-chan," Amy said, with an uneasy smile.
Momo nodded, as a sign that he got it… or he thought he did… He looked over to Fuji, then realized why he was in the unknown place in the first place. "Fuji-senpai! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Momo yelled.
He was shh-ed by numerous people in the room.
"Momo-senpai… you have to talk in whisper when in the library…" Ryoma said, casually.
Momo nodded, still not getting why there is such a rule.
"Momo, why were you looking for me?" Fuji asked, grabbing a chair for Momo to sit down.
Momo again remembered, and asked, "Fuji-senpai, do you still have the wallet of that girl from before?" Momo asked, eager to know.
"Aa, it is. Nande?" Fuji asked, wondering.
Momo then noticed Amy looking at them, and seeing is that she wasn't supposed to know anything, Momo just got away with a, "Nandemonai… Just checking," giving an uneasy grin, afterwards.
Coincidentally, Tezuka came in the library, with his two little itoko's, not realizing Amy was there.
Because of Momo's sharp reflexes, he managed to cover Amy, and began talking about ridiculous things like, "Have you shaved your doggy?" and "You know, Echizen has very bad breath."
Amy just nodded at every single word he said, obviously just trying to be polite. "That's very nice, Momo-chan," Amy said, her smile getting weak.
"Momo… Please stop pestering Amy-chan, and go do you 'business'," Fuji said, his smile getting dimmer, obvious that he was annoyed with the little Junior.
Momo gave an uneasy nod, and ran towards the three obviously trying to cover them, as Fuji tried to stall.
Tezuka soon got a sight of Amy, then pulled the two between some book shelves.
"That's fascinating, Suyusuke-kun, demo, Ryoma-kun and I have to go now. Class is starting," Amy said, grabbing Ryoma's arm.
Before she left, she leaned closer to Fuji and whispered, "I know they're here, so I'll just make it easy for you."
Fuji just smiled as he eyed her girlfriend leave.
