Ukyou sighed. There was just simply nothing to do on a Saturday morning, other than bother Ryo and play with Karu.

Well, she'd already done those two things, and she'd been able to avoid playing tennis with her left hand all week.

"BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO DOOO!!!" Ukyou cried, shouting over and over again at the skies.

"What the heck are you screaming about?"

Ukyou turned around with a raised eyebrow. "Who're you?"

The girl tilted her head to the side. Then she shrugged. "No one special." She was carrying a grocery bag, full of…

"Is that chocolate?!" Ukyou squealed, snatching the plastic bag from the stranger and gasping in pure delight at the goodies that were inside.

"Hey, that's mine!" The brunette grabbed the bag back and frowned. "That's my chocolate."

Ukyou pouted. "Can I have some?"

"No."

Ukyou frowned. "Meanie!" She stuck her tongue out.

The brunette paused and inspected Ukyou carefully. Ukyou blinked. "What?"

"I think I've seen you somewhere before…" The girl decided, snapping her fingers, trying to remember.

"What? Where?"

"Uhm…I'm thinking… at some school or something?" Then she widened her eyes. "But weren't you a boy the last time that happened?"

Ukyou furrowed her eyebrows. "Huh? 'Scuse me? Last time I checked, I think I was a girl."

"But you grew your hair a bit longer and you didn't talk much back then…wait. Why are you talking so much right now?" She questioned. "Boy, you sure have changed."

"Really?" Ukyou put a hand to her chin. "I don't remember not talking. Ever."

"Oh yeah! You go to Seigaku, right?"

"From what I remember, yeah." Ukyou nodded.

"You know the regulars, right? The tennis regulars?"

"Yeah."

"Can you take me to them? I'm supposed to 'interview' their captain."

Ukyou smiled. "On one condition."

"Anything!" Then she muttered under her breath, "Keigo's going to kill me if I don't…"

"Give me your chocolate."

"This girl eats a whole lotta chocolate…" The girl muttered as Ukyou popped in the 14th chocolate bar in her mouth.

"Oh yeah," Ukyou paused, trying to swallow the load of gump down her throat, "what's your name?"

"I'm Nakamura Michiko, a third year in Hyotei Gakuen." Michiko smiled wryly. The smile faded as she saw Ukyou shove three bars at a time down her throat.

Ukyou coughed and pounded her chest, sighing finally as the lump of sweets made it down her throat. "Hyotei, huh? You're a school reporter?"

Michiko scratched her head and shrugged. "Uh, something like that."

"Oh. Who asked you?"

Michiko's blank look twisted into a scowling, furious gaze in two seconds flat. "Atobe…Keigo… that evil…diva…" she squeezed out.

Ukyou widened her eyes in horror at her transformation. "Eh…" she looked around, "chocolate?" She offered, holding out a chocolate bar.

Michiko grabbed it without thinking, ripping the wrapper into shreds and tearing the chocolate teddy bear's head off with her teeth.

Ukyou stared at her in amazement and clapped hesitantly.

Clap.

Clap.

Clap.

"I think it was somewhere around here…" Ukyou bit her lip, looking at the row of houses across the street.

Michiko shrugged and stepped forward. "Oh well…let's just ding dong ditch the doorbells and see."

Ukyou frowned. "I thought it was called nicky nicky nine doors."

Michiko stared at Ukyou. "No, I've always called it ding dong ditching."

Ukyou argued, "Well, I've always called it nicky nickying."

One thousand kajillion minutes later…

"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP?!" The neighbors yelled. Unfortunately, the twos' argument had become so loud that the neighbors got sick and tired of listening to 'nicky nicky' or 'dingy dongie' …whatever they had called it.

Both Ukyou and Michiko retaliated and muttered, "Hai."

They were silent for a while, before Michiko asked Ukyou something. "Hey, what's your name? You're obviously different from the other guy who looked a lot like you."

Ukyou folded her hands behind her head and explained. "Oh, you're probably talking about Ryo. He's my twin brother, who's really annoying. I'm Ukyou. Echizen Ukyou."

Michiko 'oohh'ed and smiled at her. "Well…nice to meet you?"

Ukyou grinned toothily. "Yeah!"

A while later, Michiko panted heavily and wiped sweat off her brow. "Ukyou-chan…how many houses have we ding dong ditched?"

Ukyou held onto a nearby wall for support. "I…dunno… We only have two houses let to nicky though."

The wall handed her a bottle of water, and Ukyou sighed, relieved. "Thanks, Mr. Wall!"

Michiko noticed what she said and looked up abruptly. "Ukyou-chan… areyou talking to the WALL?"

Ukyou blinked. "So what if I am?"

"Ukyou, I'd like to have you know that I'm not a wall."

Michiko screeched and pointed her finger. "It TALKED!!!"

Ukyou turned around slowly and let out a breath. "Buchou!"

Michiko dropped her face expression and questioned, "Buchou? Y'mean…this is Seigaku's captain?"

"Yeah," Ukyou confirmed, smiling sheepishly at Tezuka, who stared back at her.

"What are you doing, Ukyou…in front of my house?"
