69

The bussride on the way home was quite peaceful. Noya was completely knocked out, lying onto Tanaka's shoulder. Tanaka had also fallen asleep, head leaning onto the window, repeatedly bumping into it every time the bus moved.

Asahi was dozing off, arms crossed, head hanging. He was too tired to care about anything and he honedtly just wanted to get this bus ride over with. Ukai was driving, Takeda sitting next to him, keeping him company.

Hinata passed out on Kageyama's lap. She was curled up into a ball in her jacket as she let out soft snores onto the fabric of the setter's pants.

Kageyama was wide awake. And he tensed every time Hinata took a breath. He was trying hard not to move so much, as to avoid waking the ginger up. In the end, he resulted to stare out of the window. There was nothing else to do...

Suga and Daichi played 'two-player solitaire' as they called it. In reality, no one knew the logic behind the game, except them.

Tsukishima was listening to music with his eyes closed, mind wandering. Yamaguchi was next to him, drawing anything amd everything.

Narita, Kinoshita, and Ennoshita were relishing in the pictures they had taken, squealing to themselves. They were making a couple collages and edits of their ship, all while trying to figure out the mysterious logic behind the 'two-player solitaire'.

The afternoon was very calm, that is before Hinata jolted up, almost slamming her head against Kageyama's chin. She lets out a loud gasp, startling a few awake.

"BOKE, YOU WERE AWAKE?" Kageyama growls, smacking her head. "Ow..." she whines. She turns her head to give a quick glare at Kageyama before turning around. "What are we gonna tell the students and the school body?" she asks, referring to their new bodies.

Takeda shifts in his seat so that he's looking at the red-head. "The truth. What else is there to say?" he asks, smiling kindly at his student. "A lie." Noya calls out from behind, earming a sigh from their teacher.

"No, we're going to tell them the truth, that way it won't bite us in the butt later on." Ukai calls from behind the wheel. "Okay!" Hinata says, agreeing quickly. "I'll go back to sleep now. I was just wondering." she says. As soon as she finished saying that, she swooped down to lay her head back onto her setter's lap.

"The hell are you doing?" he groans in annoyance. "Going back to sleep. Good night." she says. Kageyama resists the urge to throw her out of a window and goes along with it.

An hour later, Takeda wakes almost everybody up. Nishinoya's eyes flutter open slightly. She looks around dazed, most likely confused on where she is. Then she remembers. "Oh yeah..." she mutters.

Tanaka wakes up after hearing his friend talking. "Hm...?" he mumbles, rubbing his eyes. "We're going to stop my McDonald's. Check your bags for money." Takeda explains.

Nishinoya grabs her backpack in a tired manner, shuffling through the mess, still half-asleep. She pulls out two quarters, a dime, a nickel, and four pennies. She sighs in disappointment.

"What's wrong?" Suga asks. "I have 69 cents..." she huffs. Tanaka gives out a sly smile.

"You know what that means..." he chuckles.

Sniffles break the silence, everyone turning their head towards the source. A teary-eyed, half-asleep Nishinoya.

"I don't have enough money for chicken nuggies..." she says, tears streaming down her face.

Tanaka snorts, before covering his mouth up. Asahi, who's in the front seatx turns completely around. "W-WHY ARE YOU CRYING?" he asks in panic, trying to think of something to do.

"I DON'T KNOOOOWW.." Noya continues to sob uncontrollably. "I-I'LL PAY FOR IT?" Asahi asks.

She sniffles. "Really?" she gives out another sniffle, looking up at the ace with big, watery eyes. Asahi sighs. "Yeah, I will..." he pats her head. She utters a thanks before handing Asahi the 69 cents.

"Was that planned-" Tsukishima asks in annoyance. "No, actually, it wasn't." Noya chuckles. "Uh-huh, of course." Tsukishima rolls his eyes. Nishinoya glares at him, before speaking. "You're just mad that he's not buying you food." she argues. "Mhm..." Tsukishima agrees, not bothering  to argue.

Suga and Daichi turned around ti face the fellow third-year. He looked at thwm in confusion. He knew they wanted something from him, he just wasn't sure what that was.

"You know, Asahi..." Daichi started. "It's not fair you only pay for one person..." he says. "Isn't equality fun..." Suga smiles.

The ace sighs, knowing he's about to pay up a large fine. "Fine."

In the end, Asahi ended up paying for the entire team, with the exception of Ennoshita, who payed for his own food, and Tsukishima, who didn't even eat.

"THANKS, ASAHI-SAN!" Hinata cheers beside Kageyama. Kageyama mutters a 'thank you' before diving into his food.

While they were eating, the bus quieted down. Everyone ate their food peavefully except...

two peculiar gals.

Hinata and Nishinoya basically swallowed their food withput even chewing. "Ok, but like...slow down-" Tadashi panicked, fearing they'd end up choking on a french fry.

"No, no...let them di-" Tsukishima saus, before he was interrupted. "Don't even finish that sentence." Suga scolds.

"Ok..." Tsukishima quietly sighs.

"I'm still hungry..." Noya saus, peering inside her bag, seeing if sje had anu food left. To her demise, she didn't.

She frowned to herself, before looking up to see Tanaka's horrified face. "What-"  she asks confused. "You legit just ate almost twice of what you usually eat." Tanaka points out.

Nishinoya looks lost-in-thought. "Huh..." she realizes...

"I have, haven't I..." she says, staring at her bag. She snaps put of her trance. "Well. What can we do." she shrugs.

"Problems are always popping up, aren't they." she laughs. "You turn into a girl, you're left with 69 cents, a guy has to pay for your food, amd then at the end, you still end up hungry. Just a regular Tuesday." she giggles.

"I'm sure those problems are only specific to you..." Tanaka laughs.
