The Prince of Tennis Play
Disclaimer: Hah, I pity Tezuka and co. if they belong to me. ;D
Rating: G or K
Genre: Drama, slight humor, slight suspense
Pairing: Currently none (depends)
Warnings or notes: OOC-ness, grammar and other errors (English is not my mother tongue), 1000 words.
As the chapter title says, Chapter 2 is about how the regulars react, or their plans. :grins: I am trying to keep each chapter 1000 words, no more no less. It is some kind of self-challenge, yeah. ;P
And I am not so sure what they call each other by. Is it by surnames or their given names? I read several stories saying Fuji called Kawamura Takashi by 'Taka-san', but when I read the comic, Fuji called him 'Kawamura'. If anyone knows, kindly inform me okay? Thank you.
As for this and future chapters, there will be a long 'oooo' to indicate scene changes. There are too many characters to be put together in a scene, since it's unrelated to tennis practices and such. So, please forgive and hope you enjoy. Don't forget to drop a review. :P
: Ready…Go :
Chapter 2-Reactions
"One week to get everything ready…Nya! With just the regulars, are we able to get everything done in a week and practice?" Kikumaru Eiji, the one well-known as acrobatic tennis player voiced out his thought to his double partner, Oishi, whom was also the vice-captain of the team.
"Don't worry, Eiji. Actually all of our club's members are supposed to participate, but the regulars are expected to be on stage," Oishi explained like a mother to her whining child. He earned a sweet and energetic smile from the other.
"You need to finish the script fast then. By that only the rest of us can work," Eiji stated, for once, wisely. "Nya! I can't wait for the performance day!" An overly happy Eiji bounced. Oishi only managed to smile at the childlike partner of his before nodding slowly.
Oishi definitely hoped the drama would go well and accordingly. He was worried about a certain captain though.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ah, Inui. What are you scribbling on your notebook now?" asked the approaching tennis genius by the name of Fuji Syusuke. He happened to pass by their club manager and decided to be nosey.
"Collecting data, Fuji. There is 48 percent the others want us to perform the 'Sleeping Beauty', 50 percent on 'Romeo and Juliet', 30 percent on 'Beauty and the Beast', 70 percent on 'Cinderella', 82 percent on…," and the list went on as Fuji listened patiently to the data analyzer. Finally he came into a conclusion. All of the students expected to see a romance drama by the regulars. A classic romance, that was.
So it also meant one or more of them had to play cross dressing. Not that the blue eyed boy minded, the conclusion had, in fact, pleased him for it did not clash with his plan. Best of all, this was what he had intended. A romance drama was what he desired in the first place.
"I might just have the right idea for you, Inui…," Fuji smirked. Everything went well so far. He intended to keep it that way.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Echizen, I wonder if there is more than a girl role in the drama…," Momoshiro mumbled while eating a burger. Sitting across him, was the youngest among the regulars. Ryoma let out a deep sigh. "Then who will take the role?"
Ryoma gave him his trademark death glare. "Why do you have to worry about all these things?" asked Ryoma impatiently.
"Ah! Eiji perhaps?" Momoshiro continued to mumble alone, totally ignoring Ryoma's question. To which, it annoyed the younger boy instantly.
"Eiji senpai will only tear the dress when he bounces," answered Ryoma bluntly. The image of Eiji wearing a dress and it was torn when he jumped around filled Momoshiro's mind immediately and refused to leave.
"!" The younger boy's bluntness resulted in Momoshiro's misery. He choked on his food and was helplessly trying to drink something. "Wh-what are you talking about, Echizen!" he scolded afterwards, when he finally calmed down. Ryoma did not laugh nor tease him about it. Instead, he just glared at his senior.
"What? It's true," countered Ryoma nonchalantly. Somehow his attitude annoyed Momoshiro and he decided to get his revenge.
"I know. Echizen can be dressed up as a CUTE girl!" Momoshiro stressed on the word 'cute' in order to annoy his junior. And he smirked when he got the immediate response he wanted.
It was Ryoma's turn to choke. "You wish!" he growled while still coughing. His catlike defensive response was followed by Momoshiro's laughter.
'Echizen is fun to tease…,' Momoshiro thought. Ryoma might not be one considered feminine, who was slightly different from Fuji, but the thought to see him in a dress was appealing to the second year regular. However, Ryoma swore to himself, if he was to be dressed in a girl's outfit, he might as well jump off a building or somewhere.
Echizen Ryoma had his pride and he would not go as low as to dress up or to be dressed up as a girl, even if Tezuka forced him to. Although, he doubted if Tezuka would appreciate the boy to wear a dress whereas he knew it would be a creepy sight.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"What is it, Kaidoh?" Tezuka's gaze darted towards the snakelike second year. Kaidoh Kaoru was standing in front of him with his body full of sweats in result of countless laps of running. He was the only one whose appearance could rival Tezuka's when it fell under the category 'scary', apart from Fuji when the genius showed a fragment of his true self.
"How about the tennis practice?" the mamushi asked after a few seconds of silence. Needless to say, Kaidoh was one never bothered himself over something unrelated to tennis practices. He planned to be a better player and he held on to it. Now that the tennis club was going to perform a drama, what about their practice?
His question did not startled Tezuka even a bit. He had planned to balance their tennis practice and the drama practice. "The practice will go on as usual with a little change on the time. We will end it earlier to have a brief meeting regarding the drama. On weekends, we will focus fully on the performances," replied the captain firmly. A nod indicated acknowledgement from the younger member.
"I hope…everything goes well…," the familiar timid voice of Kawamura Takashi said. When the racket was out of his reach, Kawamura was such a timid and gentle boy. It made the others wondered if they should give him a racket to boost his confidence on stage or not, since the action would ruin the whole drama for sure.
If there were an over excited Eiji, a calculating Inui, a twisted Fuji, an uncooperative Kaidoh, a fussy Momoshiro, an uncertain Kawamura, an arrogant Ryoma and a motherly Oishi, things could not be any worse. Tezuka realized that bigger problems were yet to come. He better stock more aspirins for future use.
: To be continued :
I have been informed that my idea sounds familiar. I know there are several similar stories here under different categories, but I have went through about hundreds of PoT fanfictions and scanned through the summaries of about 2000 stories. Yet, I didn't find one similar story so far. I will continue to scan through the summaries for it.
However, if anyone thinks I ought to delete this story because s/he read a similar one before, you might kindly inform me. Although, I do think my story will be a totally different one.
Replies:
OnEcRaZyGal: Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. I intend to make Fuji dress in a girl's outfit, obviously. Hahahaha. It seems like we both have something in common. :P Evilness rules lol!
Reyoko Amazaki: Oh, I am far from being a genius, dear. But thanks for the support and compliment. I am honored to hear from you again. Aww…don't worry about the play because I definitely won't go for 'Romeo and Juliet' since I am not very familiar with it. Perhaps I will do an original script. Lol, and I don't plan on making Sakuno appear in my story. XD Don't worry about it and once again, thanks for the review.
KatrinaKaiba: Thanks for the short, but encouraging review. :bows: I hope you like the second chapter. :)
Jeanelle: Your suggestions are great, thanks for the help. :) I am planning to do 'Snow White' or 'Cinderella', but then I think I don't really remember much about the little details throughout the entire story. Guess I will have to crack my brain for a humorous idea (as well as to fit in Fuji's evil plan). Thanks again for the review. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Gorilaz: I have read a fic like this before under other categories, but haven't encountered one under PoT. I wonder if you read one under PoT? Anyway, thanks for informing me. I hope you find it slightly different from those you read. And hope you find it entertaining. :bows:
