Omake!

A/N: This chapter is not in the storyline! Just a break for the characters. They deserved it after all the hard work I made them do! (And also for me. I need time to resume my ideas to make the story continue its flow…). It's two chapters in on shot, 44 and 45. Please, leave a review for this chapter before reading the chapter 45. Thank you!

And now, enjoy!

It was the school festival. The school was open for visitors from the outside. Students from other schools and family and parents came to visit the school. Each class was doing something special for the occasion, an attraction or something else. There was a competition among the students. The attraction which gathered the most votes won a special award, so everyone did their best to make their class attraction the most interesting.

Class 1-A.

"Come on, Echizen-chan! Go with us to the 3-A class!" Shizumi Hanako, a classmate of Ryoma, said as she pulled on Ryoma's arm.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaah!" the other girls of the class squealed of excitement.

"But why? You can go by yourself. Why must I go with you?" Ryoma asked.

"Echizen-chan, you are in the tennis club and you are familiar with them! If you introduce us to them, they will be more willing to speak to us!" Hanako said, pulling Ryoma again.

"Yes! Please come with us, Echizen-chan!" Mio, another girl, said. "Please!"

"You have finish your duty of the morning, so you can leave now. Please, go with us to class 3-A and introduce us to your senpai-tachi!"

"Please, Echizen-chan!" all the girls pleaded, looking at Ryoma with puppy eyes. Ryoma gulped.

"I want you to introduce me to Seiichi-sama!"

"Me, Fuji-sama!"

"Me, Atobe-sama!"

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

"I want to speak with Marui-senpai!"

"I like Yagyuu-senpai!"

"Kikumaru-senpai for me! He is so cute!"

"Me, I like…"

And the girls continued to tell about whom they liked. Ryoma sweat dropped.

'They are scary when they are like this!' Ryoma thought.

"Please Echizen-chan! Please introduce us! PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!" the girl pleaded again. Ryoma gulped again. But seeing their pleading puppy eyes, which were looking expectantly at her, Ryoma resigned.

"Fine," she heavily sighed. "But you leave me alone after that, you got it!"

"Yessssssssssssssss! Thank you, Echizen-chan!" all the girls of her class cheered. Ryoma sighed again, scratching her head.

'What a bothersome! Even outside of the club, they still cause me problems!' Ryoma thought.

Class 3-A.

"Youkoso! Purinsu Kafe e (1)! Welcome to the Prince Cafe!" Marui greeted at the entrance of 3-A class. "Ara! Echizen-chan! So you finally decide to come!"

"Echizen-chan! What took you so long? We have been waiting for hours for you to visit us!" Niou said, appearing behind Marui.

"It's not like I wanted to go," Ryoma mumbled in her teeth, watching her classmates behind her. They were all watching Marui and Niou with heart-shape eyes, squealing.

"Ahhhh…" the girls sighed dreamily.

"Echizen, you're finally here!" Ootori came to greet her. "Say, Echizen! What do you think of me?" he said, showing her his black and white waiter costume.

"You look like a penguin!" Ryoma blurted.

"Pffffffffffffffft!" Niou and Marui snickered.

"Hahahaha!" Ryoma's classmates giggled.

Pop! Twitch! A vein popped on Ootori's head.

'That girl! Couldn't she try to say something more elegant?' Ootori pondered.

"Anyway, senpai-tachi, I'm here because my classmates want to meet you! Here is Shizumi Hanako, Takamura Mio, Irie Hanami, Kougi Kana, Tsugare Rika, Kurogawa Rei…" Ryoma introduced all her classmates.

"Sou ka! So you're all Echizen-chan classmates!" Ootori said. "Nice to meet you. I'm Ootori Choutarou. Yoroshiku." He winked to them.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" the girls squealed.

"Purinsu Kafe e, youkoso!" Ootori saluted the girls in a princely way, inviting them inside the classroom.

"Domo arigatou gozaimashita!" Shizumi answered for everyone. They entered the classroom. Yukimura and Oshitari appeared, a tray in their hands.

"Irasshaimase! (2)" Yukimura said.

"Kyaaaaaaaah! Seiichi-senpai!"

"Purinsu Kafe e, youkoso! May I take your order?" Oshitari said, bowing to the girls. "You can also request who you want to serve you."

"Then I want Seiichi-sama to serve me!" a girl said in a sweet voice, pink hearts flying around her head.

"Me too! Me too!"

"Me too please!"

Yukimura smiled princely to them, glitters shining around his angelic face.

"Yorokonde! (3)" he said.

"Ahhhhhhhh…" the girls sighed dreamily again, with more hearts over their head. They all flew on the 9th cloud in heaven. Ryoma sweat dropped.

"Okay, come in, Echizen-chan!" Marui said as he pushed her inside.

"Ah. Hai," Ryoma said. She entered to see the place filled. "Hmmm… Your cafe is sure popular."

"Well, that's good business for use. We are planning to win the award of the festival!" Niou said. Ryoma looked around the classroom. There were some students and their mothers inside, eating cake or drinking a tea or a coffee while chatting.

"Hum, all your customers are girls and women. There is no man or boy," Ryoma said.

"It's true, but we still have a decent number customers," Marui said, cocking his head. "So maybe it's fine."

"No, it is not!" Inui said, appearing between them.

"Aaaah! Inui! Stop popping out of nowhere like this!" Marui told him.

"Inui is right," Yagyuu said as he and Yanagi came to them. "Even if we have customers, they are still only female customers. If we want to win the festival award, we must attract more customers. Females and males."

"Yeah. Well, we don't have anything to attract boys here," Niou said. "We don't have waitresses for the service."

"Where are all the girls of 3-A?" Ryoma asked.

"They finished their job. Because they wanted to be free for the afternoon, they all chose to do their service in the morning. So we are the only ones left for the afternoon," Marui said.

"We have less customers since the girls left. Unless we can find another waitress to attract the male customers…" Ootori said. Yagyuu and Yanagi had been thinking about something for a moment.

"Echizen-chan, if I remember correctly, you were on duty in the morning. Which means, you are free for the afternoon, right?" Yanagi asked.

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Ryoma said. Yagyuu and Yanagi looked at her, something cooking in their head.

"We do have a small size waitress costume…" Yagyuu said. Yanagi and Yagyuu looked silently at Ryoma, with insistence. Not understanding the meaning of their glare, Ryoma cocked an eyebrow, tilting her head.

"Huh?"

Then, something flashed in Niou and Marui's head.

Glint!

They caught the hint.

'What a wonderful idea!' they thought. They grinned like Cheshire cats.

"Nhehehehehe…" they laughed wickedly as they slide a glance toward Ryoma. Ryoma jumped back one step, suddenly feeling uneasy. She was worried. She started to sweat cold.

"Sen-senpai-tachi… w-why are you laughing so grossly…?" Ryoma asked in a shaking voice.

"Nhehehehehe…" Marui and Niou laughed again, their eyes shinning suspiciously. They walked to her like happy predators over a prey. "Nhehehehehe…"

"Ahhh…" Ryoma sweat harder, stepping another step back. "Ah!" she thought about something. "Masaka… You're not thinking about…" Ryoma muttered, her face blue. They grabbed her a carried her into a changing room.

"Yadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Ryoma yelled. Niou took the waitress costume, which by some coincidence or by some miracle had appeared in Yagyuu's hands, neatly folded on his palms.

"Let me goooooooooooooooooooo!" Ryoma screamed, but no one came to her rescue.

"Give me back my clothes!" Ryoma yelled.

"No!" Marui and Niou retorted. They made sure to hide her clothes in a very secure place unknown to her.

"Why must I do be a waitress for 3-A?! I'm a 1-A!"

"You have English with us, so you are also a 3-A. So, do your duty of a 3-A student!" Sanada said.

"Sa… Sanada-… senpai…?!" Ryoma looked at him, shock - horrified!

Oh my God! Great kami-sama! Sanada was agreeing with Marui and Niou. Sanada was the kind of person who liked everything perfect. But that 3-A cafe only attracted girls wasn't perfect. So of course he would do what it would need to attract male customers too. Yukimura and Oshitari appeared and saw her. Ryoma was dress in a pink and white strips maid costume over the knees with a white apron and a white headdress over her black-green hair.

"Ah! Echizen-chan! You look adorable!" Yukimura said. "I'm so glad that you agree to help for serving the customers," Yukimura continued, smiling to the scowling girl while Oshitari chuckled.

'Huhuhu! She doesn't know how cute she looks when she pouts like this!' Yukimura thought. 'Ah! Fuji would love to see her in her maid dress!'

"Yukimura-senpai! You know very well that I don't want to do this!" Ryoma said.

"Echizen-chan," Yagyuu spoke in a serious tone. "If you don't do it, I will tell Tezuka."

"He would be disappointed that you didn't help your senpai-tachi," Yanagi added.

". . ."

Silence. Ryoma didn't reply.

Spun!

The next second, she was at the entrance of the 3-A classroom door, a shiny smile on her face.

"Irrashimase! Youkoso, Purinsu Kafe e!" Ryoma cutely greeted the customers, flowers and glitter popping around her face.

"Waaaah! Kawaii!" a guy saw her and said. "Say, can I request you to serve me?"

"Of course! Of course you can!" Niou happily answered and invited the boy inside while Ryoma cringed. "Come in!"

"Ah! Me too! Me too! I want her to serve me!" another guy added.

"Me too please! I want her to serve me!"

"Yes, yes! She will serve all of you. Please, come in! Come in!" Marui happily told the new customers. Niou and Marui turned around to Yagyuu and Yanagi, their thumbs up.

'Yagyuu, Yanagi, you two are genius!'

Fuji and Atobe returned to the class 3-A. Being the president of the council student, Fuji had to make sure that everything was fine. From this morning, he personally visit each class to see how the students were doing for their attraction, to see if they had any problem and to see to solve the eventual problems it had. Atobe accompanied with him in his task. In front of the 3-A class, they were surprised to see a line of people waiting to be served in front of the 3-A classroom door.

"What is happening here?" Atobe wondered.

"I'm also wondering," Fuji said.

"Let's go and see," Atobe said. They entered their classroom.

"Irrashimase!" a feminine voice greeted them.

"Ryoma-chan!" Fuji exclaimed. His eyes were opened as he looked at her, gasping.

"Ah! Fuji-senpai!" Ryoma said.

'She's adorable!' Fuji thought, a faint tint of red appeared on his face as he gasped. Yukimura, who was watching, chuckled. Ryoma looked at Atobe.

"Atobe-senpai," she greeted him, not calling him by name. Atobe nodded to her. After the training camp, Ryoma saw Atobe with new eyes. After that she knew Atobe came to Sakaki-coach to talk in her favor, she learned to respect him and changed her behavior toward him. Beside, it was a recommendation Tezuka left for her before he went on his flight. She would make sure to do as Tezuka told her and not disappoint him.

"Purinsu Kafe e, youkoso!" Ryoma said, bowing. "Please, come in!"

"Excuse-me Echizen-chan," Rei called.

"Hai?" Ryoma answered.

"Can I have an Opera cake please?" Rei said.

"I would like another tiramisu please," Hanami said.

"I'd love to try your blueberry cheese cake," Kana said.

"Apple tart," Mio said. "Apple tart."

"Hai, I will bring everything to you," Ryoma answered.

"Thank you, Echizen-chan," Rei said, smiling. Ryoma turned to Fuji and Atobe.

"Please, excuse-me, senpai-tachi." Ryoma bowed and she left.

"Fuji, did you finish your council work?" Niou said. "Why don't you take a break?"

"Hmn," Fuji nodded, agreeing to Niou's proposition.

"Fujiko! Over here! Come and sit with us!" Kikumaru greeted from inside the classroom.

"Eiji, Ooishi," Fuji greeted.

"Aniki," Yuuta greeted him.

"Yuuta," Fuji said as he sat between Yuuta and Kaido. Atobe sat at the table next to them. Shishido and Gakuto were there with Jirou, who was snoring on the table.

"Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!"

Jirou was also supposed to serve the customers, but it seemed that the job didn't appeal him very much.

"Zzzzzz! Zzzz! Zzzz!"

Beside, he knew Ryoma would cover for him, so he could rest in peace.

"Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!"

"So, Fuji-senpai! What do you think of Echizen? She looks good, huh?" Kirihara, sat at the table across, asked.

"Ehh…"

"Fuji-senpai, Atobe-senpai, would you like a drink or a cake?" Ryoma came and asked, saving him from answering.

"I would like a Ceylon tea please," Fuji said.

"And Atobe-senpai?"

"For me, a Darjeeling tea," Atobe said.

"So, a long tea for Fuji-senpai and a darling tea for Atobe-senpai," Ryoma said as she noted down their order. "Weird kinds of tea. I never heard about long and short tea. Or even a darling tea!" she mumbled. Fuji chuckled at her mistakes of the names of the tea.

"Darjeeling, Echizen. Darjeeling," Atobe corrected her.

"Yes, yes, I perfectly got it, a darling tea and a long tea. I'll immediately bring them to you," Ryoma said. She saw Kaido's nearly empty cup. "Kaido-senpai, do you want to refill your tea too?"

"Fshhhhhhhhhhhh! Hai. Arigatou," Kaido answered.

"Hey! Echizen, bring me another parfait for me! Mango flavor this time!" Kirihara called.

"Me too! And a raspberry cheese cake!" Momoshiro added.

"Hey! It's been three times that I served you! How many times more must I have to do it again? I have other people to attend to, you know!" Ryoma said. "Ah! I know! I'll tell Inui-senpai to serve you! I'm sure you'll love the special crappy, weird color and smelly stuff he put in the parfait!"

"Hey!" Kirihara and Momoshiro shouted while Ryoma plugged her ears, deadpanned. She left to take Fuji's, Atobe's and Kaido's tea.

At the other end of the classroom, Yanagi and Yagyuu were supervising everything.

"For sure, since Echizen is here, our customers increase," Yanagi said as he noted down the number of customers.

"She's effective," Yagyuu said, very happy of the profit accumulated in his cashier.

"Yanagi-senpai, Yagyuu-senpai, a long tea and a darling tea for Fuji-senpai and Atobe-senpai please," Ryoma said.

"A long tea and a darling tea? What kind of weird tea is that?" Marui said.

"I never heard of anything like a long or a short tea. Not even a darling tea!" Niou added.

"So you think it's weird too, right?" Ryoma said. "That's exactly what I told them!"

"A Ceylon tea and a Darjeeling tea, Echizen. Ceylon and Darjeeling," Yagyuu corrected her.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said. A long tea and a darling tea," Ryoma said. "Ah! That's right! I almost forgot!" She turned to Inui. "Inui-senpai, Kirihara and Momo-senpai want each one of your special parfaits."

Glint!

Inui's glasses shined of joy.

"I will personally bring it to them," Inui happily said, smiling, a tray in his hands with two cups of parfait on it.

Two seconds later.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" a horrible scream was heard from Kirihara and Momoshiro's table.

"Echizen! You sadistic, evil monster!" Kirihara and Momoshiro yelled. But Ryoma didn't hear them because she plugged her ears with her fingers.

"Here, Echizen. A Ceylon tea and a Darjeeling tea," Yanagi said as he gave her her tray.

"Hai, arigatou senpai," Ryoma said as she added the cup of Japanese green tea for Kaido. She picked up her tray and left.

"Kaido-senpai, here's your tea," Ryoma said as she put the cup in front of Kaido.

"Fsssssssssssh! Arigatou."

"Atobe-senpai, your darling tea." Ryoma put the cup in front of him.

"Echizen," Atobe said, an eyebrow raised.

"You have such a thick skull," Shishido completed for him.

"Pffffft! Humhumhum!" Gakuto snickered behind his hands. Ryoma ignored them.

"And Fuji-senpai, here's your long tea," Ryoma put the last cup in front of Fuji. Fuji chuckled.

"Arigatou, Ryoma-chan," Fuji said. He opened his eyes and looked to her. Caught by surprise by the intensity of his eyes, Ryoma clumsily hit his cup of tea with her hand and got splashed with some hot water.

"Aie!"

Fuji hastily grabbed her hand, took his silk handkerchief and cleaned the water for her.

"A… arigatou, senpai…" Ryoma said.

"Dou itashimashite…" Fuji replied. But he didn't release her hand. On the contrary, Ryoma had the impression that he pressed her hand more in his. She looked questionably to him to meet up with the intense glare of his cerulean orbs. Ryoma froze and her cheeks burned. For a reason she didn't know, everything around her disappeared. Only left was Fuji and she in an unknown world.

"Fu-… Fuji-… sen-… senpai…?" Ryoma shyly called, stuttering. Now, all her face was red. Oh dear Kami-sama! His glare made her feel so nervous. But…

'What's wrong with me? It's not like it's the first Fuji-senpai look at me. Then, why do I feel nervous?!'

She didn't know it was what, but she was sure that the way he looked at her now was different from before - because before, she never felt nervous. She didn't know what to think about it nor what to do next. A chance Kami-sama helped her.

1) "Youkoso, Purinsu Kafe e!": Welcome to Prince Cafe!

2) Irrashimase: "Please come in!" Often used in shops and restaurants.

3) Yorokonde: It will be my pleasure.
