Recap...
"Ne, do you think we could make Echizen-kun jealous?" Ann whispered.
"He can't get jealous."
"He got jealous when someone holds his cat." Ann retorted.
"It's his pet." Tomoka said rolling her eyes. "There is not one person that could make him jealous that is a human."
"What about Saku-chan." Ann smiled mischievously.
"What about her?"
"Saku-chan and that brat had been getting close to each other right?"
"You point being?" Tomoka was getting more curious.
"That means Echizen-kun can get jealous!" Ann replied. "Besides, Saku-chan is the only female that he ever associate with aside from his family and his coach." (A/N: Ryuzaki-sensei transferred job to coach the high school student.)
"You got a point there." Tomoka smiled now getting what her friend is getting at. "So how are we-?"
"We'll need the regulars' help." Ann interrupted Tomoka.
"Seigaku Regulars or Fudomine Regulars?" Tomoka asked.
"Both." Ann replied giving Tomoka a wink.
Sakuno looked at her two friends whispering about something and felt a chill going through her. "Why do I have a feeling that something is going to happen soon?"

Chapter 2: Seigaku's and Fudomine's Participation
"Momoshiro-kun! Eiji-kun, Fuji-kun!" Ann called. The bell had rung signal for class. Tomoka and Sakuno had separated ways with Ann to get to their classes. Ann was about to go home when she saw the three regulars walking towards the school building. She thought it was perfect opportunity to set their plan in motion so she called out to them.
"What's up Ann?" Momoshiro asked. The three of them had stopped and waited for her. As she caught up, shed asked, "Can you guys help me with something?"
"Depend on what it is." Fuji replied with a smile.
"What is it? NYA!" Eiji asked.
"Um... before I can tell you. Can you guys meet me at Fudomine High School?" Ann replied, "Also, can you guys also bring the rest of the regulars? Thanks!" Ann ran towards the gate before the three could say anything. The three regulars looked at each other and shrugged then enter the building, heading to class.
Afterschool, the regulars including Ryoma arrived at Fudomine High School. Ann was waiting for them at the entrance. After arriving home, Ann felt bored and had gone to school to informed her brother and the tennis team that Seigaku was going to come.
Flashback:
Ann had spotted her brother along with his tennis team at the tennis court, 'Good they're all here.' Ann walked towards them.
"Aniki (Big Brother)." She called out. Her brother, Tachibana Keppei turned around at the call of his name.
"An. What are you doing here? Aren't you sick and supposed to be home?" Tachibana asked.
"I was faking it then got bored at home, so I came here." Ann replied. "Anyway, can you help me with something?"
"What is it?"
"Today, I went to see Tomoka and Saku-chan at Seishun Gakuen." Ann said.
"You went where?" A boy with red hair said.
"I went to Seishun Gakuen." Ann repeated. "And I want to ask you all to participate on a mission, Tomoka and I, am going to go through."
"What mission?" Tachibana asked.
"I'm glad you asked." Ann announced. "Our mission is to MAKE ECHIZEN JEALOUS!"
"Make Echizen Jealous?!"
"Yup." Ann nodded. "You see, he never gets jealous of people. The only time that he gets jealous is when other people hold his cat (maybe).But this time we're on a mission to make him jealous. Of course, it got to be a person." Ann stopped and looked at every one of the regulars that's near her. "So… can you guys help me?"
There was a long silent as the people near her tried to process everything in.
"I'll help." Kamio Akira said.
"I guess I'll help too... it'll be interesting to see him jealous. We'll make him so jealous that he'll blow. There is no way I'll back out of this one. That stoic expression that he always will be even more interesting when he gets angry-"
"Shinji!" Tachibana said making him stop.
"Gomen (Sorry)."
"Aniki (Big Brother),are you in?"
"Yeah. This will help keep our mind out of tennis and do something else for a while. Too much tennis isn't good, you know." Tachibana replied with a smile.
"Arigatou (Thank You)!" Ann beamed. "Oh, before I forget later, Seigaku is going to come over."
"What for?" Shinji asked.
"We'll need their help too." Ann said.
"Wait... Ishida-san, are you in?" Kamio asked.
"Of course."
"Everyone is in. Great!" Ann said.
End of Flashback...
"Why did you call us here for?" Captain of Seigaku, Kunimitsu Tezuka asked.
"I'll explain once we get inside. Please follow me." Ann replied and led them all towards the tennis court. Tachibana and Kamio came over and greeted the team. Kamio was talking to the other members while Tachibana went towards Tezuka and shook hands with him. Shinji also came over and challenged Ryoma onto a match. Ryoma of course accepted his challenge. Tachibana, Ann, and Kamio led the others towards a classroom.
"Ffsshh...What are you guys trying to do?" Kaidou asked.
"Sheesh, be a little patient will you." Kamio said. Kaidou glared at Kamio, but Kamio ignored it.
"Please have a seat." Tachibana gestured for them all to sit. After they all have seated, Ann began with a loud tone, "Thank you for coming!" Seigaku flinched upon the loud voice. "You are here because 'WE' have a favor to ask of you."
"What is the favor?" Kawamura asked out of curiosity.
"Please sit around for just a couple of minutes and wait for one more people to arrive." She said.
Apparently, Ann had phoned Tomoka what is going to happen at Fudomine and asked of her to come over and help out. She had also explained the plan to Tomoka, so she can know what's going on. Tomoka gladly accepted to be part of this. Oh boy, she will totally make Ryoma falls heads over heals for Sakuno even if it kills her. After waiting for 3 minutes, the door slides open. Tomoka came sliding the door catching her breathe.
"I'm sorry for being so late!" Tomoka apologized.
"It's okay, we didn't wait that long." Tachibana said. Tomoka nodded and walked towards Ann at the center of the room.
"Shall we start?" Kamio asked. Ann and Tomoka nodded.
"Kawamura-san can you repeat your question?" Ann said.
"Um... what is the favor?" Kawamura asked shyly.
Ann cleared her throat before saying in her loud voice,"Good thing you have asked, Kawamura-san!" Ann, then, motion for Tomoka to begin.
Tomoka took a step forward and said with a serious tone. "We are here today because this is about a certain boy, who is as dense as a rock, but as smart and athlete as a professional. Who never really get ticked off, smile, or get excited about anything except for his tennis match and the most important thing is jealousy."
"Are you guys talking about Echizen?" Fuji asked.
"Bing Pong! You got it right." Ann said. "In other words, we want you to help us make him jealous."
The Seigaku Regulars looked at the girls like they're crazy.
Momoshiro spoke up first. "This is ridiculous."
He can't get jealous." Momoshiro said.
"He got jealous when someone holds his cat." Kawamura said.
That made Momoshiro looked up and asked;" you're not using his cat, are you?"
"No, we are not going to use his cat." Tomoka said.
"Then who?" Inui asked after a while taking down notes.
"Ryuzaki Sakuno!" Ann and Tomoka said in unison.
"Say what?" This time, both Fudomine and Seigaku are surprised.
"Kamio-kun, you can inform Shinji-kun about this later." Ann said.
"A-ah." Kamio said breaking out of his trance and nodded,
"Why, Ryuzaki-chan?" Oishi asked.
"Sakuno and Ryoma-sama... No, let me rephrase that." Tomoka said. "Sakuno is the only female that Ryoma-sama ever associates with aside from his family and Ryuzaki-sensei or should I say shows kindness to."
"So Saku-chan is the only one that can make Ochibi jealous?" Eiji asked.
"Pretty much, but we don't know yet." Ann replied. "To know we'll need your help."
"Fudomine is already in." Tachibana told Seigaku.
"What about you guys?" Ishida asked finally after observing them.
"What if this hinders us in practice?" Kawamura asked.
"It's not. I promise." Ann said.
"Then, I'm in." Fuji said with a smile. Everyone knows that there is something going through this tensai's mind right now, but didn't dare to ask. He does like to see people suffer.
"I'm in too." Eiji said.
"This will give me some good data. I'm in." Inui said pull up his glasses.
"I'm totally in!" Momoshiro said excitedly.
"Taka-san is in too, right?" Fuji asked Kawamura.
"I don't-" Fuji suddenly gave Kawamura his racket. "BURNING! I'M IN BABY!" Satisfied, Fuji took the racket from Kawamura. "Eh? Did I say something?"
Everyone sweat dropped.
"N-ne, Mamushi, you in or not?" Momoshiro asked.
"No." Kaidou immediately said."
"What? Why not?" Eiji pounce on Kaidou.
"I don't want to join." Kaidou replied getting his senpai off of him.
"No way! You have to join Kaidou- pion." Eiji pouted.
"Inui-senpai, let him get a taste of your juice if he's not going to join!" Momoshiro said pointing at Kaidou,
"Good idea, Momo." Inui said. His glasses glinted and a creepy grin went up to his face as he held up an orange-green color drink.
"W-w-wait! I'll join!" Inui disappointedly put the drink away.
"Bouchou?" Fuji asked.
"Can't." He said. "I'm going back to Germany soon."
"Man!" Momoshiro said disappointedly.
"Oishi-senpai, you got to join this thing, too." Kaidou said.
"I am." Oishi replied. "You all need to be careful. I mean don't go overboard and get yourself sick."
"Oishi-senpai, you worry too much." Momoshiro said as the other nodded in agreement.
"I guess we're all in except bouchou." Fuji said.
"Great!" Ann said.
"What now?" Tomoka asked.
"First, Kamio-kun, will you go and pick up Saku-chan everyday afterschool." Ann said.
"Why him?" Momoshiro asked.
"It would be weird if any of you guys pick her up." Ann replied. "It's also better to let someone from another school to pick her up."
"So, I'll just have to pick up Ryuzaki-chan-" Kamio said.
"And walk her home." Tomoka finished.
"That's it?" Eiji asked.
"Nope, Seigaku, try anything to get Echizen jealous." Ann said. "We will support Kamio-kun."
"What about Sa-chan?" Eiji asked.
"What about Sakuno?" Tomoka asked confusedly.
"Are we only going to make Ochibi jealous what about Sa-chan?" Eiji asked.
"We can't." Ann replied. "Saku-chan would cry every night and then get sick for thinking too much."
"I guess only Echizen. Good luck Rhythm Boy." Momoshiro said.
"Shut up peach head." Kamio said as he went out of the room.
"I guess he's going to informed Shinji." Tachibana said.
"I can't wait until tomorrow." Eiji said jumping up and down.
"Don't let your guards down." Tezuka said.
