Narrator: None
Back stage
Riku: Konnichiwa minna-san! It's been long time huh? Sorry for not updating for long… I got caught in writer block…
Ryoma: Urusei! You're just too lazy to write, right?
Riku: No, I'm not! And for your information, I'm still wondering who should become the female role *pouts*
Ryoma: Whatever… *dismisses Riku*
Riku: Anyways, someone do the disclaimer now! I have to lock myself inside my room to brainstorm more ideas.
Sanada and Tezuka: Riku doesn't own any of us and never will be since we only be owned by Konomi Takeshi!

Atobe Keigo's mansion
It was a beautiful morning. The leaves were falling off the trees, signifying the start of fall.
The drama Cinderella that was played by the tennis club members from 3 days before left one particular boy in a sour mood. He is, of course, our beloved Cinderella-wannabe, Echizen Ryoma.
Said boy had even committed an attempted murder towards the author of this fanfiction, by giving her a member of the infamous Inui juice products, the Aozu.
The tennis club members who acted and helped in the drama gathered together on this particularly nice morning to relax and forget some rather embarrassing memories, especially the infamous moment when Echizen Ryoma and Tezuka Kunimitsu were forced to kiss (see the first chapter).
Some even gathered in the dark corner (Since when did this corner exist?) to assemble some materials for blackmailing people such as Fuji Syuusuke, Yukimura Seiichi and Oshitari Yuushi.
Suddenly, the door opened and revealed Sadaharu Inui and Yanagi Renji, holding their data book and a bunch papers in their hands. "Minna, I want all of you to see this." Inui commanded as he set the papers down on the table, gesturing for everyone to see them.
"The data which is written on this paper is the amount of profit we made from our previous dramas," Yanage stated, earning some twitches from Ryoma, Tezuka and Yukimura.
At that, the two men announced, "The profits we earned are enough to pay for 3 schools' tennis joined practices, and it's even enough to pay for all tennis club members' tickets for a trip to England, for a month and 3 nights."
"YAHOO! ENGLAND! Ne, ne, Inui, can we go to England?" the happy-go-lucky Kikumaru Eiji pleaded.
"Sure, but there's a catch." Yanagi answered. This statement earned a twitch from Ryoma, Tezuka and Yukimura, plus Atobe.
"We have to continue this drama, once a month," Inui stated, as a scary grin formed on his lips. Yanagi, of course, formed the same gesture on his lips. And of course, people such as Ryoma, Atobe, and the others who had already experienced the horror of becoming the lead roles in these twisted dramas, got ignored by Inui and Yanagi.
"The next drama is called The Little Mermaid, and we have already decided on the roles. But, we have yet to decide who will play Princess Ariel's role, and to solve this problem, we will make a voting contest. Whoever gets the most votes will act as Princess Ariel." Yanagi said.
At this, the number of people with pale faces in the room increased.
"The voters will be the female tennis members, and the schools which covers Rikkaidai, Seigaku and Hyotei. After that, we will practice within 3 weeks, and we will proceed to play the drama the following week. And if the drama happens to be held on the same date as the tournament, we'll cancel the drama until further notice. Until then, only two names will be inside the voting list." Inui informed, and received a lot of relieved sighs in reply.
"And the two lucky people are…"
A long silence enveloped the room, as Yanagi stopped his statement to create more suspense.
"The 2 names are… Echizen Ryoma and Marui Bunta. " Yanagi continued. Said people then let loud shrieks of complaints escape from their mouth.
"WHY IN THE NINTH LEVEL OF THE HELL, DO I ALWAYS GET CHOOSEN FOR?! I CAN UNDERSTAND THE BUBBLEGUM LOVER HERE, (at this, he pointed at Marui which earned him a 'what did I do to you?' look) SINCE HE HAS RED HAIR, BUT WHY THE HELL DO I GET CHOOSEN TOO?!" Ryoma yelled.
"It's simply because you have become quite popular after the last drama." Inui easily answered Ryoma, which made him have to dodge a large number of tennis balls, and then dodge a suprising number of soft pillows. As if Ryoma still wasn't satisfied, he chased Inui with mad and murdering aura enveloping his body, whilst cursing.
With a lot of sweatdrops, the rest of the tennis club member watched the cat-and-mouse chase scene between Inui and Ryoma. They decided to go along with the voting, despite Marui Bunta's protests in order to save his pride and Ryoma's.
And after the voting papers were published all around three schools, the tennis club was fulled with vote papers, much to the dismay of Marui and Ryoma.
A/N: So, how is this Omake? Hope you all can joining the voting! Which one will you choose to become Princess Ariel? Will it be Marui Bunta, or Echizen Ryoma?
Please help all three schools students to vote as well ^_^ thanks for reading!
Editor's notes: I'M SO SORRY. THE LATE UPDATE WAS PARTLY MY FAULT AS WELL. DAMN EXAMS. Anyways, please help the students vote! Thanks for reading, once again!
