AN: So yeah, here's the update! I'm so happy you guys enjoyed the previous chapters :) I hope you guys like this too.
PoT is not mine.
Time passed by and when they knew it, it was already Friday.
Ryoma dragged himself all the way to school, training for the festival and training for tennis practice was hard work. But it was all worth it, he spent his time with his princess and his friends.
"Okay, class. This is the last day of our training. Let's all work hard and cheer for one another!" Their teacher cheered.
"Oh. I almost forgot, the two representatives are excused for the whole day. You guys will be in the student council room along with the other level representatives. It's your rehearsal." The teacher added.
"Hai." The two replied as they walked together to enter the room.
"ECHIZEEEEEN!" Momo bear hugged the freshman.
"Get o-off..." Ryoma struggled breathing.
"It's been really awkward here since that secretary's been talking about everyone's body statistics." Momo pouted as he let go of his best friend.
"Oh, Hi Sakuno-chan!" Momo greeted.
Sakuno smiled in response as they continued to walk to the side of the room.
"Fuji-senpai and Tezuka-senpai are here too." Sakuno commented as she spotted the two standing on the side.
"Wait, Momo-senpai.. you're a representative too?" Ryoma asked.
"Of course, with my charming good looks. How can I not be?" Momo scoffed.
Ryoma didn't reply, he simply rolled his eyes as he droned his way to his princess. Who's been talking to the two seniors, Momo followed.
"You just lower your elbow and swing." Fuji advised the braided girl.
"I-Is that so? Thank you Fuji-senpai." Sakuno smiled.
"No problem Sakuno-chan." Fuji chuckled.
"Good morning senpai-tachi." Ryoma greeted as they approached the three.
"Y'know, Now that I think about it... Fuji-senpai IS passable to be a girl." Momo said as he put his hand on his chin.
"Could you kindly repeat that Momoshiro?" Fuji gave his normal look, the atmosphere was quite eerie.
"I.. I said nothing.." Momo gulped in fear.
"That's what I thought." Fuji replied.
"EVERYONE, here are your costumes~" The secretary gleefully announced. He handed it out all around the room.
Since the guys had no problem putting theirs on, they were asked to step outside to let the girls change.
Ryoma wore a puffy, white long sleeved top with a royal blue vest accented with gold on the middle. He had a crown, a majestic red cape. For his bottoms, he wore a white leg hugging tights. He wasn't quite proud of it but atleast his top stopped mid-thigh.
Tezuka wore a japanese magistrate costume, it was black and it fitted him perfectly. Fuji wore the same thing but in red, he was wearing the woman's version.
Momo on the other hand was the mad hatter, he wore a very quirky top hat with a purple tail coat, white long sleeves, brown vest, green bowtie and a matching pair of purple slacks.
"Why do girls have to take time?" Momo whined.
"They want to look their best." Fuji smiled.
Ryoma casually held his head back on the wall, when his eyes shot open.
"Tezuka-buchou, isn't that secretary a guy?" Ryoma asked with a tense tone.
"Yes." Tezuka simply said.
"WHAAAT?!" Momo exclaimed in pure shock.
"His name is Ichi Yamamoto." Fuji added.
"He's there... While Ryuzaki is CHANGING?" Ryoma added trying to keep his cool.
"Don't worry Echizen. Yamamoto is very professional." Tezuka advised his junior.
"But still I gotta-" Ryoma stood up, about to go in when he was stopped by Momo.
"Wait! The girls are still changing!" Momo reminded the lad.
"I don't ca-" Ryoma couldn't finish his sentence when he heard a giggle, not just anyone's giggle but it was HIS princess' giggle.
Momo and Ryoma paused to hear more.
"Yamamoto-senpai.. that tickles.." Sakuno said in between chuckles.
"It'll all be done when I finish putting on this corset on you." Yamamoto reminded Sakuno.
"Haaaai." Sakuno obediently replied.
"Eh? Sakuno-san you're not wearing a strapless?" Yamamoto pouted.
"Oh, Sorry Yamamoto-senpai.." Sakuno replied.
"Don't worry~ It's not your fault, it's the first time you've seen your costume anyway. Could you take off your straps for me?" Yamamoto asked.
"S-Sure." Sakuno complied as she shyly slipped off her bra straps.
Ryoma and Momo heard this and as you guessed it, The cat eyed boy was fuming. He was struggling from Momo's grip when the door opened.
"Alright guys, you can enter now~" Yamamoto announced.
Ryoma broke from Momo's hold and quickly stepped in the room, he was mad but then he saw Sakuno. Sakuno was wearing a white ball gown, fitted on the top and bubbled on the bottom. She wore a crown to match her prince. It had a feint tinge of pink, far from Ryoma's color. His whole faced blushed, he couldn't say anything.
"W-WOW.. Sakuno-chan.." Momo's mouth was wide open.
"That's my reaction too, I'm so excited for her full costume and make up this coming week~" Yamamoto sang.
"Sakuno-chan is stunning isn't she? Ne Tezuka?" Fuji said , nodding slightly.
Tezuka didn't respond but he seemed to agree, he had the same curve on his lips when Sakuno wore the cat ears and tail.
"Th-Thank you.." Sakuno stuttered, overwhelmed from the attention they're giving her.
"Oi Echizen, say something!" Momo patted the prince who was lost for words.
Ryoma cleared his throat to approach her.
"Ry-Ryoma-kun..." Sakuno blushed as she looked at her prince.
Ryoma tilted his head on the side as he jerk one eyebrow up in reply.
"You're..You're.." Close as they were, she's still Sakuno.
"I'm?" Ryoma asked.
"You..look great." Sakuno blurted out.
"You're not too bad yourself." Ryoma replied.
"Alright everyone, let's talk about the parade and stage alignment." The president walked in.
It was about 12:30 when they finished the costume rehearsal, they had to take their lunch inside the student council room because they had to look out for anymore announcements.
Fuji, Tezuka, Momo and the pair found themselves circled on the floor as they ate their lunch together.
"Sakuno-chan what's up with the two bentos?" Momo asked as he opened the wrapper of his pork bun.
"Huh? Oh, The other one is for Ryoma-kun." Sakuno replied as she gave the other topper ware to the guy beside her.
"Echizen is really spoiled by you." Momo snickered.
"Eh? Really? I don't think so.. I think Ryoma-kun just fancies my cooking." Sakuno said as she opened hers.
"Wow! Fuji-senpai, Tezuka-buchou. Look at thaaat! It looks so delicious!" Momo whined.
"Indeed, it looks appetizing." Fuji replied while Tezuka simply ate his lunch.
"Ne Sakuno-chan, Can I have some?" Momo sheepishly asked as he pointed to himself.
"S-Sure." Sakuno gladly replied.
When suddenly a spoon filled with curry and rice was stuck into Momo's mouth. The loud regular traced the spoon to its owner to only find a very stoic Ryoma Echizen. The prince quickly pulled it out and continued eating.
"Mmfff... It'sshh shooo goooddff" Momo said while he was chowing down the food.
Sakuno being a kind and nice person that she is, she thought of giving a spoonful of curry to the other two on their rice.
"You didn't have to do that, y'know." Ryoma commented as he took his last bite.
"I wanted to, besides I think it's not fair that Momo-senpai had a taste and Fuji-senpai and Tezuka-senpai hadn't." Sakuno explained as she puffed her cheeks.
Fuji smiled at the site on his bento while Tezuka just stared at it. The prodigy took a bite and swallowed.
"It's really good." Fuji commented.
"I'm glad you like it Fuji-senpai, Eto... Tezuka-senpai.. how about you? I-Is it okay?" Sakuno asked shyly.
"It's delicious." Tezuka replied, he tried to remain stoic.
"Uwah, I'm so happy!" Sakuno cheered as she cleaned up her bento and Ryoma's.
"You're knees are still too stretched." Ryoma commented.
"Mooooouuuu! Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno replied.
"Hai, Hai!~ Everyone a couple more hours of practice then you're dismissed." Yamamoto announced as he walked in the room.
"Yamamoto-senpai is quite something, ne Echizen?" Momo nudged.
"He's a weird fellow." Ryoma yawned as he lazily got up.
"I think he's nice." Sakuno commented thinking nothing of it, but the prince thought otherwise.
"Nice?" Ryoma cocked an eyebrow.
"Y-Yep." Sakuno was taken aback with Ryoma's firm tone.
"He's WEIRD." The prince emphasized.
"Now, now you two~ Come on Let's start the practice." Yamamoto slid in between them.
Ryoma shivered in disgust, while Sakuno just smiled.
"Ne, Since we're going to be dismissed early.. Why don't we go eat before we go home?" Momo offered the four.
"That sounds a great idea, Momo." Fuji replied.
While Tezuka stayed stoic.
"It's fine with me." Ryoma said.
