Chapter 3 -

After getting his food and sitting down at a empty sit at the table now named 'Fudomine', by none other then the forever talking Shiniji, Kamio suddenly felt something against the back of his neck. Reaching up to see what it was Kamio felt something wet, Bring his hand back in front of him he saw that it was half chewed food. Angry Kamio turned around to yell at who ever was sitting at the table next to there. Seeing none other then the tall 'Dunk-Smash' member of the Seigaku tennis team Kamio turned back around and stuck his spoon in the mountain of potatoes. Turning around on the bench Kamio raised the spoon up high and then placed his middle finger on the tip and pulled back, Laughing as the potatoes hit there target.

Feeling something wet hitting him on the back of his head Momo wiped the back of his head with his hand before grabbing his own spoon and loading it up. Turning to the Fudomine table Momo launched at the laughing Kamio, unfortunately Kamio seen it coming and ducked just in time. Watching the airborne potatoes fly at and hit Shiniji who at the time was talking to there coach Tachibana, Momo spun around in his seat and tried to act as normal as he could. Suddenly a loud cry of "Food Fight!" was heard before hell was let lose and the match was between Fudomine and Seigaku.

Thinking smart Ryoma jumped under the table as soon as he heard the words "Food Fight", Unlike Eiji who grabbed a handful of now mixed food and through it as hard as he could at the Fudomine second year Ishida. As soon as the first cry out both captains jumped up and tried to get control over there teams. After finally yelling "Know Tennis rackets if you don't all drop the food and get outside, NOW!" both teams hung there heads and walked out side and stood in a straight line before the two, now angry, captains.

Looking at his team, which had grouped at the end of the line, Tezuka wasted know time at giving out the punishment "First off, you will all walk back into the hall and clean up every bit of food. When that is finished you will all return to the cabin where you will all stay until tomorrow." Take a look at the faces of his team he continued "You will also be getting 40 laps tomorrow morning extra. Now do I make myself clear that this is never to be repeated?" Make sure he got a strong reply of "Yes!" from everyone he told them off with "What are you waiting for? Get cleaning!"

Dragging his feet on the ground as he walked back into the mess hall Eiji let out a sigh as he realized this ment he wouldn't be able to steal Ryoma and Momo for a swim. Next to him Momo also let out a huge sigh as he realized this ment Dinner was over and he hadn't even got to eat much, Hoping that Tezuka would feel bad for his team later and try and feed them again. As the team stepped back inside and took a look at the mess they made huge sigh was let out at the work it would take to clean up. Getting to work the team were glad they were safe inside once they heard Tachibana going off at his own team. "Wow" Momo said as he looked up "There list of "To-do" to make up for the food fight is getting long isn't it?" sitting back Eiji wined out how he was glad he was at Seigaku.

Glaring at his senpai's from across the room Ryoma looked down at the table he had been wiping off as Oishi pushed the food off into a bin he had found in the kitchen area. Ryoma was pissed that he has to help when he hadn't even done anything. Finally speaking up Ryoma spoke his thoughts "Why Am I cleaning? I didn't even do anything!" turning to face Momo, Ryoma continued "Besides it's all his fault so we should make him clean it all up by himself". Getting off the floor from where he had been wiping all the food up Momo walked over to the first year and looked down at him. "Cause were a team, If one falls then we all fall" Smiling to himself at his smart reply Momo turned to go back to his cleaning before Tezuka returned and yelled at him for not doing anything. "Is that your way of saying, I am too lazy to clean it all up by myself Momo-senpai?" Laughing at the look on Momo's Face Ryoma went back to work but not after he gave his senpai one last glare.

In the Fudomine bunk house things were quieter as the team laid on the beds, some on there own some on others with them, and silently thought about all the work they would have to do because of a silly little food fight. It seemed Tachibana believed that they had given Fudomine a bad name by behaving like first graders and planned for the team to make it up to everyone. Letting out a sigh Kamio turned to the others to see if any of them had moved yet, seeing that none did Kamio turned over in hopes of getting some sleep before Tachibana came back from talking with the Seigaku captain, Tezuka, and started them on there extra laps. Even worst however was that they were to apologize to the whole camp tomorrow morning when everyone was in the mess hall. Glaring at the wall Kamio slowly fell asleep thinking of pay back on Momo.

The next morning Seigaku and Fudomine both woke and headed for breakfast before they had to start doing their extra laps or whatever it was they had to do because of the food fight they had yesterday. Just before Seigaku got their own food Tachibana came over to them. "All of you sit down please." was all he said then started to turn and leave but Momo started talking to him.

"I'm not leaving just so your team can eat first." Momo yelled at him.

"That is not at all why. Just sit and you'll soon see." Tachibana said before he walked away and Tezuka ordered them all to sit like they had been asked. The whole team did as they were told even if it was grudgingly. Soon after they sat at their table the Fudomine team came out all carrying a trey full of food. Each of them walked over to one of the Seigaku and placed the trey in front of them. None of them looked very happy. After all the trey's were placed they went back to get their own food as Tachibana came back over.

"My team must serve everyone else for at least a week for last night's food fight." Tachibana said. "So enjoy it while you can." he added as he walked away to his own table.

"I don't know what's worse, having to serve everyone for a week or running 40 extra laps." Oishi said as he watched Tachibana walk away. Since Oishi decided to join in the food fight the other day he had to run today to.

After breakfast Tezuka lead his team to the tennis courts that were in the middle of the whole camp. "Already. You're going to start with your laps. Do the regular amount plus 40. Now!" Tezuka ordered.

The team started running their laps around the courts. Unfortunately for them it was a really warm day and they weren't allowed to stop half-way through for a swim. As they continued to run their pace started to slow down. Then Inui pulled out his juice and told them instead of the last one having to drink his juice the last two would have to have some. Extra punishment for their food fight. After they heard that their pace quickened again. Momo and Kaidoh had ended up finishing last since they started fighting as they ran and everyone passed them. Once they drank they both ran from the courts and headed for the lake which was the nearest source of water.

After that the team continued on with regular practice, at least as regular as their practices got. As the day went on it got warmer and warmer. Since they were using the court Fudomine couldn't so they got to go for a swim in the hot heat while waiting for the tennis courts. The lake was in perfect view of the courts so Seigaku could see them swimming. Fudomine taunted them with the water. Splashing each other with it while looking at Seigaku.

Finally they finished practicing for the day. But by the time they were finished most of them were to tired to go cool off in the lake with an actual swim so they all lazily walked down to the lake in their uniforms and waded in the water a bit. "When are the rest of the schools coming?" Ryoma suddenly asked as he waded in the water a bit further then the rest, getting his shorts wet.

"Within the next few days." Tezuka answered as he started out across the lake.

"Well why did we have to come so early?" Ryoma asked and turned around to face Tezuka now.

"Because we were able to." Tezuka answered.

"That answers my questions well." Ryoma mumbled to himself turning back away from Tezuka.

"What was that Echizen?" Tezuka asked sternly.

"Nothing Sempai." Ryoma said.

Suddenly Eiji decided he had his energy back and didn't care if everyone else did or not. He ran at Ryoma and tackled him to the grounded getting the two of them soaked. When Ryoma got Eiji off of him he wasn't to happy. He went to splash Eiji but Eiji jumped behind Oishi. So Oishi got hit with the water instead of Eiji. A water fight had started just as the food fight had started the other night. Only this time it was still before supper, Ryoma was involved, Fudomine wasn't involved, and Tezuka didn't try to stop them, he just walked away. Seigaku continued their water fight for quite awhile but that was maily because Ryoma was still not happy with what Eiji had done and was still trying to pay him back but kept hitting other people which kept them involved and wanting to get Ryoma back. Eventually Ryoma got Eiji face down in the water and he was sitting on his back so Eiji couldn't get up.

Once everyone else calmed down and noticed Ryoma sitting on Eiji's back so he couldn't move Oishi went over to save Eiji. "Ok Echizen. You got him. Let him go now." When Ryoma didn't listen Oishi pushed him off. Ryoma fell sideways back into the water. "Ochici!" Eiji yelled. He dived at Ryoma as if trying to save him even though Ryoma had pretty much attempted to kill him.

They decided the water fight was over and headed up to their bunkhouse. Tezuka was waiting for them when they got their.

"Look at you. All of you are soaked. Even Kaidoh and Inui. I expected better out of some of you." Tezuka said starting at them all. "First a food fight with another school. Now this. I've already made you do extra laps. I don't have a problem with making you do it again. Shape up or I will." Tezuka then walked out of the bunkhouse. They all looked at each other before silently going to their own bags and finding a change of clothes. Once they all changed they waited around for lunch time so they could head up to the mess hall.

I'm glad everyone likes it so far, we really didn't think a lot of people would enjoy it when we first started writing it. Also if you see any mistakes at all please let us know in a review and we will go back right away and fix them.

ELLIE 31773: Courtney isn't that far into it as well so we are trying to take are time with the adding all the characters. You should be fine for a bit.

Chibi-Pengin: Thanks, we weren't sure if people liked it or not so it's nice to hear that. Also we know there is a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes here but there isn't much we can do it fix them on are own.

I (Samantha) have been tested for a spelling and reading disability and it has been added to my school folder. It's been there since grade one and it will stay with me because I can't improve. Before posting the chapters here I put it into my WordPerfect to spell check it and I even have to have Google, and my Opera(1) open just to get it this good. Sadly even with these tools I know not everything is perfect. I can speak at a high level but I write and read at around a grade three level.

(1)It reads to me, Meaning it will say the word for me so I know I got the right one.

Also a big Thanks to anime-luver25 andSephyrah!
