Hear ye, hear ye! If you didn't read the revised chapter 7 then I strongly suggest that you do! Because it's not just revised, it's a totally different chapter! That is all.

Morning Two
Team One
Taka always wakes up early. It's just something that Taka does.

Slowly but surely, he opened his eyes to see Fuji's smiling face about two inches away from his.

"Good morning Taka." Said Fuji pleasantly. "Did you sleep well?"

Taka flailed foolishly for a little bit and then proceeded to tumble off the bed, dragging all the blankets down with him, and landing in a heap on the floor. Fuji looked over the edge of the bed with a quizzical expression.

"Sorry…you surprised me…" said Taka, taking a few hoot breaths.

"That's okay." Said Fuji, looking EVER so pleasant.

Taka got up, brushed himself off and then walked innocently into the kitchen where Mizuki was sitting with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Wow, you get up even earlier than me!" said Taka.

"I don't think Mizuki ever went to sleep." Said Fuji, appearing behind Taka.

"For your information, I DID!" said Mizuki, but he looked SO disheveled that it was quiet apparent to EVERYONE that he hadn't gone into the Kids room. And it became even more apparent when Kirihara came out of the Kids room looking ever so refreshed.

"Mizuki, I'm glad you didn't use your bed tonight so I had someplace to sleep." Said Kirihara as it became SO apparent that it was pretty much a fact.

Then Yana came out of the Kids room as well. "Hey Mizuki, how come you didn't go to sleep last night?" he asked. So now it WAS a fact that Mizuki did NOT go to sleep that night.

"Yes, Mizuki, why don't you tell us?" said Fuji as he instantaneously switched from Pleasant Creepy Fuji to Scary Creepy Fuji. Meaning, yes, his eyes DID open. OH DEAR!

"I DON'T WANT TO!" Mizuki said as he turned around in his chair and chugged some more coffee.

If Fuji had decided to be diabolical, he might have exploded his laugh for everyone to hear, but instead he became pleasant again and kept his laugh toned down to a mere chuckle.

"Has anyone checked the mail yet?" Taka said, trying to start some NORMAL conversation.

No one said anything so Taka frolicked off outside and retrieved the mail from the mailbox. There was a single letter in the mailbox. It was addressed to…AH! WOW! Kawamura Takashi!

"For me?" Taka exclaimed excitedly as he ran back in the house where no one had moved a single inch. I guess what they say is true about time standing still when you're not in the room. "We got some mail today! And it's addressed to me and it says 'very important'!"

"Well open it then." Said Kirihara.

"Okay!" said Taka as he took the letter from the pile and tore it open. "It says, Congratulations! You performed excellently in the challenge yesterday! SO excellently, that we have decided to award YOU with the prize of being the individual winner for your team! For your prize, you get to rearrange the members of your family so you can assign a new Dad, Mom, Sister, Brother and Pet! Or, if you so desire, keep everything the way it is! It's your call and whatever you say goes! Enjoy your day and don't forget to keep checking your mail!"

Taka looked up from the letter and another tumbleweed blew by. It sure is drafty in their house.

"Wow…" said Taka. "This is a huge responsibility. I was kind of hoping I'd just get… candy… or money or something…"

"I was hoping you'd get candy too so you could share it with me." Yana admitted.

"What do I do…?" Taka said hopelessly.

"I don't know…you should just keep everything the way it is." Said Fuji, putting his hand tenderly on Taka's shoulder. "I think we're all happy this way."

"Um…" Taka said slowly. "Actually… I think I AM going to make some changes…first off…" Taka looked around nervously. "I want to be the Dad!"

Everyone gasped. Then they wondered who Taka would pick for his Wife.

"And uh…um…" he looked down the line about ten times of who he would share a bed with. "Uh…um…Yana! You're the Mom now!"

"Um…" said Yana.

"Taka!" said Fuji, sounding dejected.

"Fuji, you can be the Brother." Taka offered. But Fuji did not look happy.

"And I don't want to be the pet anymore!" Kirihara enunciated.

"Fine, you can be the Sister." Taka said.

"YES!" said Kirihara, but then he stopped. "Hey…"

"But I don't want to be the Pet!" yelled Mizuki but then he did a face plant on to the table and started snoring.

Taka gave a heavy sigh. "Okay…so that's the way things are now."

But now Taka was stressed so he ran away as fast as he could.

Team Two
Momo awakened alone so he knew right away that Choutarou was up. There was also the sound of pans being utilized in the kitchen, so he knew doubly sure that Choutarou was up AND MAKING BREAKFAST.

He went into the kitchen and sure enough, Choutarou was up and making breakfast. SCORE!

"I swear, Ootori, you are the best Mom there is." Momo said, sitting down at the table.

"Really?" said Choutarou, beaming, but there was sadness in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Momo said, but he regretted asking a second later.

"Oh…" sighed Choutarou. "It's just…I worry about Shishido. I hope he's making friends and the others in his family aren't treating him badly. He's kind of small, you know, and people pick on him sometimes…"

"Kind of small?" Momo repeated. "He's bigger than me."

"Well, you're kind of small too…" Choutarou said.

"What?" demanded Momo. "Maybe to YOU! But that's what happens when you're freakishly tall."

Choutarou spun around and looked SO HURT.

"Um…I'm sorry…" said Momo, instantly feeling bad.

"It's all right…" Choutarou said. "Still…I worry about Shishido…"

"Oh geez…" Momo slapped his forehead just as the front door flung open and Eiji came trotting into the kitchen holding an envelope.

"Mail's here!" Eiji declared proudly as he struck a pose as if there was a crowd to cheer for him.

Just when Choutarou and Momo were definitely about to break into the 'Mail Time' song, Gakuto and Marui poked their heads out of the Kids room while rubbing their eyes tiredly.

"What's everyone yelling about?" Marui complained.

"The mail's here!" said Eiji.

"It's for me, I bet, since I'm the Dad!" said Momo proudly as he reached out his hand to receive the envelope.

Eiji pretended to hand it over to him but then suavely spun around and handed it to Choutarou.

"Actually, it's for Ootori!" he said.

"For me?" Choutarou said excitedly.

"Why him?" Gakuto said, sounding slightly offended as he and Marui came over to see what the letter said.

"Wow, I hardly EVER get letters!" Choutarou said. "Are you sure no one else got a letter, Eiji?"

"Positive!" said Eiji. "You're the only one!"

"Then it must be from Shishido!" Choutarou exclaimed as he tore open the letter like a buzz saw. He gave the letter a once over and then frowned slightly.

"Let me guess…it's not from Shishido." Said Momo.

"Or Shishido just has bad news." Marui shrugged.

"It's not from Shishido at all." Choutarou said, looking sad as he went to appointed angsting window.

"Well, what's it say?" Gakuto took the letter and read it out loud. They all waited for Choutarou to do something like switch the family around.

"Well?" Momo said.

"What?" Choutarou said.

"The letter said you should switch the family around." Said Eiji.

"Oh I don't care." Said Choutarou.

"Could you make me the Dad?" Gakuto asked.

"Fine." Said Choutarou apathetically.

"WHAT?" demanded Momo. "No! I'm still the Dad!"

"Not anymore!" laughed Gakuto.

"Any other changes, Ootori?" Marui asked.

"No, I don't really care." Sighed Choutarou as he walked away and closed to the door to the Parents room. He was extra sad because he was hyped up to hear from Shishido only to be horribly disappointed.

"I guess that means YOU'RE the Sister, Momo." Said Gakuto with an evil grin. "Now that I'M the Dad!"

"No way!" argued Momo.

"What Ootori says goes!" said Gakuto. "And now that the change is final, I am officially the king of this castle, right? And I say that this chair—" he bent down and picked up Momo's failure chair. "GOES!" Gakuto laughed diabolically as Marui opened the window and Gakuto tossed it out.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Momo yelled, dropping to his knees. "OOTORI! YOU HAVE FORSAKEN ME!"

Team Three
"Hm…interesting…" Tezuka muttered to himself in the still of the morning as he sat in the living room.

Specifically, he was in the comfy chair, and slowly he rose to his feet while holding a piece of paper out in front of him.

"Even though I have been given this opportunity, I can't let my guard down." Tezuka said as he adjusted his glasses. "I must…" he paused and looked around the empty room. "CALL A FAMILY MEETING."

Tezuka raised his hand high in the air and stood there silently and totally immobile in the middle of the floor.

He stayed like that for a short while before Aoi came strolling in innocently as if he didn't have a care in the world. He stopped when he saw Tezuka standing there in his pose and then gasped.

"No wonder!" Aoi exclaimed. "I couldn't figure out why I was randomly compelled to come into this room but now I know…the Tezuka Zone!"

Just then, Tachibana came running in. "What's going on?" he said enthusiastically. "My instincts suddenly told me to come to this spot!"

"Oh good!" said David as he came in as well. "Am I not the only one who couldn't help but come in here just now?"

"Yes." Said Kabaji as he walked in the back door.

"Good." Said Tezuka as he slowly lowered himself back into his chair and everyone came closer to him. "I needed to call a family meeting and I have a slight emotion that seems like gladness that you all responded positively to my summoning."

"Hey!" said Tachibana, pointing at him dramatically. "The only person who has the authority to call a family meeting is the Dad. ME!"

Tezuka looked at Tachibana vaguely. "Ironically enough, that is precisely why I decided to call this family meeting."

He waved the letter in Tachibana's face, and Tachibana tore it away from him.

Slowly, he read the words over.

"Impossible!" said Tachibana. "YOU are the individual winner from yesterday? You didn't even have to do anything to win!"

"You have to admit…" Aoi said. "Using telepathy to blow up everyone else's video game controllers is pretty cool."

"It was the Tezuka Zone." Tezuka corrected.

"Those coaches just have something against me…" Tachibana said angrily.

"Nevertheless." Tezuka stood up. "There are going to be some changes in this household. First of all, I am now the Dad."

"Man…" said Tachibana, kicking the air.

"Second," Tezuka continued as the rest of the family cowered in fear. He walked away from them and looked off in the distance. "I happened to overhear a comment one of my Seigaku teammates made at the competition yesterday and I have been considering his words. He said…" Tezuka looked back at them. "That team has too many captains on it."

"Yeah…so?" said David.

"Meaning…" Tezuka went on. "I agree. This team needs only one captain to be its pillar. That pillar will be me."

"You can't change the fact that we're captains." Tachibana pointed out.

"No," Tezuka agreed regrettably. "But I can put you in positions of less power and then continue to be the individual victor so everything may remain that way."

"You're CRAZY!" yelled Tachibana.

"Tachibana, you will now be the Pet." Tezuka ordered.

"NO!" Tachibana said.

"Aoi, you will remain the Sister." Tezuka continued.

"Too cruel!" exclaimed Aoi.

"David, you stay Mom since I don't really care about you." Tezuka went on.

"…Okay…" said David.

"Kabaji, that leaves you as the Brother." Tezuka finished.

"Yes." Said Kabaji.

Aoi and Tachibana both burst into tears and ran out of the room while sobbing pathetically. Slowly, David backed away from Tezuka as he stood there looking proud of himself. Finally, Kabaji approached Tezuka.

"What do you want?" said Tezuka.

"Yes," said Kabaji as he bowed to Tezuka.

Team Four
"It's official!" Saeki yelled as he walked into the living room and crossed his arms childishly. "There is NOTHING to do in this whole house!"

He took a second to look at Ryoma and Hiyoshi who were both sitting at the edge of the couch and engaged in mortal video game combat. It was an intense game and neither of them could be bothered with paying attention to Saeki. Sakurai was sitting in the comfy chair while cheering and also saying every ten seconds that he got to play the winner. Yukimura was lying on the floor in a bed that had been made for him to accommodate his sickliness.

Saeki tapped his foot a few times in vain hope that that would get their attention, but when that did not work, he started to clear his throat.

Finally, Ryoma paused the game and everyone simultaneously turned their heads to look at him.

"There's nothing to do." Saeki said.

They all raised their eyebrows at the same time.

"Okay…whatever…" said Saeki as everyone went back to playing the video game.

"Oh right, Saeki!" called Sakurai as he jumped to his feet and ran over to Saeki. "We got mail today, and it's addressed to you."

"Really!" said Saeki. "Who's it from?"

"I don't know." Shrugged Sakurai. "Probably our coaches."

With that, he ran over to watch the game some more and maybe eventually get a turn.

Even though Saeki would have preferred that everyone gloriously pay attention to him while he opened and read the letter, he obviously was going to receive that much respect.

Instead he stood by himself and opened the letter. He read it to himself and gasped out loud.

"Everyone, everyone!" he said excitedly. "Listen up!"

No one paid attention to him AGAIN.

He pouted.

"Fine, I'll just keep all this to myself then." He said, trying reverse psychology.

Still, that didn't work.

"HEY!" he yelled, flickering the lights on and off. "LISTEN TO ME!"

This finally got their attention. They turned around and waited. Saeki cleared his throat and read the letter to them.

The reaction among the family was generally just this: "…"

"So?" said Ryoma. "You can switch the family around. It's not like it matters."

"Yeah, we're not really going along with that anyway." Hiyoshi agreed.

"Oh yeah?" said Saeki, knowing that this was true and wanting to do whatever he could to change that so he didn't seem as foolish. "Well…that's going to be different from now on! After I mix up the family!"

"Okay, go ahead." Said Hiyoshi arbitrarily.

"Allllll riiight…" Saeki clapped his hands together. "This is my reward for doing an awesome job at building that end table! So…I'm going to stay the Dad!"

"Things don't seem so different yet." Ryoma sighed.

"HA!" said Saeki. "Just for that, you're going to be the Pet from now on!" said Saeki. "First years should know their place!"

"…Okay." Said Ryoma with a shrug. "I'm still better than you at tennis."

Saeki fumed. "That was uncalled for!" he said. "Yukimura is going to take your job and be the Brother from now on!"

"I'm the Brother." Hiyoshi said. "Ryoma was the Sister."

"I knew that!" said Saeki even though it wasn't true. "I'm just making YOU the Sister now!"

"Oh." said Hiyoshi.

"So I'm still the Mom?" Sakurai asked.

"Um…" Saeki worked it out in his head. "Yeah…I guess so…"

Everyone looked at each other.

"I get to play in the next game!" Saeki announced as he jumped on the armrest of the couch.

"No way, I'M next!" Sakurai argued.
