I don't own PoT but I do own Ryuu! Take that!
"Okay…hmm, when is your flight coming in? Oh really…yes I know that…" a light laugh echoed throughout the house. "No… alright… six in the morning…I'll tell Oyaji, don't worry."
Ryoma Echizen twirled the cord from the phone over his fingers before hanging the phone up.
Sorry, delayed reaction. Did I say HIS fingers!? I meant HER fingers.
Yes, yes, yes, Ryoma is a girl. Yes, yes, yes, that makes her the Princess of tennis. So who was on the other line?
Well, that was the real Prince of tennis, Ryuusuke Echizen, more commonly know as Ryuu.
Ryoma and Ryuu were twins. Paternal of course. They were like a classic boy-girl pair of twins. They looked the same and acted the same.
And it was for this reason that Ryuu was in America and Ryoma was in Japan. Originally it was Ryuu who was supposed to be going to Seigaku, but something came up from his school in America (coughcough…he failed his finals and had to go to summer school…coughcough). Because of that, Ryoma had to throw out her enrollment forms for Hyotei and get new forms so she could take Ryuu's place in Seigaku (she's happy that she had didn't go to Hyotei, thanks to Monkey King).

"Oyaji, that was Ryuu on the phone! You need to pick him up tomorrow at six in the morning!" Ryoma shouted as she walked up the stairs to her room.
"Whatever Shounen!"
Ryoma paused when she was in the middle of the staircase to stare at the family portrait that was on the wall.
It was taken when she and Ryuu were seven, right after they won their first doubles championship. Ryoma had long hair back then, it reached her mid-back and was naturally layered and curled slightly, just like her mother's. Ryuu had the same hair, except his was cropped short and was pushed back behing his ears. They were both dressed nicely with Ryoma wearing a light gold dress and Ryuu wearing a black suit with a gold tie.
They were smiling. They always smiled with their twin by them. It was their way of connecting.
'Hn, tomorrow when I get home then, you'll be here.' She ran a finger over the frame before going to bed.

Ryoma slammed the door closed as she ripped her shoes off savagely.
"Tai-freakin'-dai-freakin'-ma!" She growled out as she glared at the stupid shoes, as if they were the cause of her misfortune.
Today, was not good. This is how her day went, in order from the things that went wrong…
Her alarm clock broke so she woke up late
Her uniform wasn't ironed so she had to iron it
She spilled orange juice on her uniform
She had to wear a regular plain shirt underneath her uniform jacket
She DIDN'T have as plain shirt, so she wore a white tank top
She ran to school
She was late to practice
Tezuka was being a mother fucking bitch today so she had to run 50 laps
Inui was being a mother fucking bitch today so she had to drink his juice
Her teacher gave her ten detentions for not being in uniform
She got a paper cut
Momo, that bastard, spilled the Ponta he had brought all over her
She was wearing a purple bra, luckily the purple blended in with the Ponta
At afternoon practice, she had to drink more Inui juice
She tripped over Horio, who had fainted, and completely bloodied her knees up
Tezuka, in super bitch mode, made her run another 50 laps for being careless
She got her period
She got cramps
She got angry
She threw her racquet at Tezuka and she thinks she broke his nose- which she did
She got suspended from school for a week and put on reserve for a month
"Uh, welcome home Ryoma, but I guess you're not in a good mood eh?"
Ryoma turned around at the new voice and saw herself.
"Ryuu!" She ran over to her twin and hugged him tight.
"Wazzup, I heard you got suspended for braking your captain's nose."
"How did you know?"
"I OVERHEARD mom on the phone and no, it wasn't eavesdropping."
Ryoma rolled her eyes before looking past her brother to see her parents glaring at her.
She was sooo dead.

"Nya, I can't believe Ochibi broke Tezuka's nose! Now he's not here for me to glomp!" Eiji Kikumaru whined for the fifth time that morning.
Oishi patted Eiji on the back in a sign of comfort. Ryoma was Eiji's favorite glomp post. It was amazing that he never felt her breasts- not even once.
A head full of emerald tinted black hair passed the Golden Pair as the figure walked onto the tennis courts.
The people on the courts became silent as they looked at who they THOUGHT was Ryoma.
Even Ryuuzaki-sensei was caught off guard before she realized who it really was.
The boy stopped in front of her, a bored expression on his face as he raised his head to look at the aging woman.
"Aunt Sue, here is my registration form." Ryuu smirked slightly, "Sorry I'm a bit late, I got tied up at my school in America."
"Alright," she told him and ordered everyone to gather round.
"Alright, this is Echizen Ryuu; he's Ryoma's twin brother and will be taking Ryoma's spot on the Regulars alright?"
"Hey, why does he have to take his place? We should hold a ranking tournament!" Arai yelled in protest.
"Who's 'he'? And shut your mouth before I make sure the only thing you can eat is apple sauce." Ryuu snarled out.
"Oi, Ryuu, we don't talk like that here. Watch it."
Ryuu calmed down, a bit, and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Ryuuzaki called out to him.
"I'm going to class, the bell's going to ring in 3…2…1..." A loud bell resonated throughout the school premises as Ryuu continued to walk away.

"I hate your team, Ryoma." Ryuusuke grumbled from underneath their makeshift tent in the living room.
The couches and chairs were gathered in a circle and comforters and blankets were thrown over them. The twins were sitting Indian style and in a middle of them was a large flashlight. Bags of chips, cans of Ponta, various candy wrappers, and Styrofoam containers-that once carried delicious takeout- surrounded them.
Ryuu was wearing nothing but a pair of black boxers. Ryoma was wearing skin tight black boy shorts and a tight black and silver cami-shirt on.
Ryoma popped some popcorn in her mouth.
"Yeah, I hate them too."
