"So what's the game plan, Sunbeam?" a young teenage girl asked.

"I don't know yet." replied Sunbeam. "It's not like we could leave a note in an alley and hope our brother would find it before it rains too hard. Right, Angel?"

"Hey!" Angel exclaimed. "I could not just barge right up to our brother in front of his team and say, 'Here's our gift. Hope you like him!' And then just plop a dog right into his arms and leave.  Beside, I was panicking! Heaven, help me!"

"Panicking for what?" retorted Heaven. "And what am I suppose to help you with? I swear your common sense is lacking these days."

"We better come up with a plan soon," said the first girl. "Otherwise the Cap'n is going to have our heads. I don't want to face that devil of a paper fan of  Cap'n's quite yet." She shivered. "I never know how the Cap'n could make a paper fan hurt like steel so much."

The warm temperature suddenly changed to cold.

"Is that so, White Tiger?" A new person appeared, wearing a fake smile. "You four didn't do what I asked yet?"

The four other girls quivered. The Captain smacked each of their heads with a paper fan.

3 hours later:

A teenage, teal-haired boy noticed something suspicious in an alley near the basketball court he was playing at with his friends. He silently left the court and went to check it out. What he found left him quite surprised. It was an envelope with his name written with a familiar handwriting on it. The boy picked up the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket. He went back before anyone noticed that he disappeared.

It rained hard just as the boy got back on to the court, so he and his friends all went on their way home. When he went home, the boy opened the envelope at the desk in his room only to reveal a familiar handwriting.

"If your name is Kuroko Tetsuya and you are reading this, congratulations! If not, I suggest that you put this letter back in the place you have found it and forget that this LETTER even exists! If you are Kuroko Tetsuya, continue reading, but with your secret tool."

The rest of the letter was blank. The teal headed boy sighed as he got out a candle and lighter and lit up the candle. He then put the bottom half of the letter near the fire of the candle. Slowly words started to appear.

"Tetsu-kun, while you were busy doing your 'practices' and 'games' the past couple of years, the Captain had us recover what we have previously lost. Better do what she says or more laps would be added. *shiver* -Heaven"

"Hiya Tetsu-nii! I've been baking vanilla cookies; I'm sending you some! \(^=^)/ Captain-sama had been asking how you have been doing. I've been following your games. Excellent job at the Winter Cup! I knew you could do it!-Sunbeam"

"Tetsu-- Generation of Miracles. What kind of name is that? I mean-we are Athletic Royals--but who is the idiot that came up with Generation of Miracles! A better name would be Generation of Basketball Princes(read the last word as Idiots.)-Angel"

"The Cap'n had us send this letter or our training menus which has already been tripled would be quadrupled. Anyway, we came back to Japan a long while ago. We had to relearn how to write in kanji, so if my handwriting is so bad, don't blame me! I'm not like the Cap'n who has to write everything really nice. Also, Cap'n isn't able to write right now. Something about writing to the Japan Basketball Association. -White Tiger"

"P. S. I shall contact you when as soon as I am able to. Expect a call. - the Captain."

After he read the content of the letter, his emotionless facade broke. He gave a soft chuckle as tears fell down his eyes.
