"Mwahahahaha!" the Delightful Children cackled menacingly.

"No, don't!" that insufferable Kuki Sanban shouted at them.

But it was too late.

They had already beheaded the poor rainbow monkey with their giant robot's slishy-slashy sword thingy. And they weren't even sorry.

Kuki cried out a long drawn-out "Nooooo!" in slow motion, as it's marshmallow-flavored guts scattered soundlessly to the ground.

The fire burned slowly inside her irises, until her entire silhouette was embroiled in the flames of her unrelenting rage.

"You...will...PAAAAAYYY!!!" she screeched at the top of her lungs, which inexplicably knocked the Delightful Children across the room, by the power of her rage alone.

The Delightful Children were taken aback by the sheer power of Kuki's hostility.

Mental note-to-self: Do not get on this young lady's bad side.

They quickly knelt to the ground and groveled on their hands and knees, hoping for nothing more than to spare their foolish lives.

"P-please forgive us, Miss Sanban. We promise we'll do whatever you wish to make up for it! If you'd please just spare us!"

"Hmm...you'll do anything I wish?"

"Anything, really!"

The flames died down and she shook the Children's hands.

"I accept!"

The Delightfuls let out a sigh of relief, until they realized what they'd just agreed to.

"You Delightfuls play too rough."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"No lasers, no age-changing rays, and no giant scary robots with fiery chainsaws."

"Aww no fair! Those are our favorite toys!"

But they had to listen to what she wanted as they promised.

"Those things aren't fun! You guys really don't get out much, huh?"

"Are you trying to tell us that "normal kids" or whatever, don't like battling to the death in the middle of the streets?"

"Exactly."

The Delightful Childrens' eyes widened in shock.

They'd honestly had no idea.

"Now, then, let's start with the FUNdamentals!"

They were all about rules and disobedience. And violence. Their ideas of fun involved serving adults, and mandatory piano lessons. But those things weren't really fun.

The Delightfuls groaned as she gave them a long lecture on things that were considered "proper" toys.

"We are going to start your training by giving a biiig hug to Mr. Huggykins!"

The giant pink stuffed animal stared at them ominously and oozed cuteness. They wanted to barf.

But they did as she said and slowly approached the hideous creature.

They carefully wrapped their arms around the stuffed toy and gave it a big squeeze. The cuteness...it burned! Then as suddenly as they hugged it, the creature let out an equally terrifying screech. "I LOVE YOU!"

The Delightfuls inched back in fright and screamed loudly. They were deathly allergic to anything cute and fluffy. One look at a room full of stuffed toys and they'd go into a full-blown panic.

"Oh boy...it's going to be a long day..." Kuki remarked.

Next they moved on to something simpler. Something more up the DCFDTL's alley.

Kuki sat down her guests and got out her teaset. Then she poured each child a piping hot cup of tea. But they could not drink such a thing. "Are these cups plastic?" the Delightfuls asked in an insulted tone.

"Yeah? What about it?"

"My! How distasteful! We Delightful Children, only drink tea served from the finest of China!"

Here we go again.

Kuki decided that maybe it was time to take things outside.

They tried playing at the park for a bit.

"Castles? Made of sand? I wouldn't dare set foot in such a filthy place!"

"It's just pretend..."

But the Delightfuls would not budge.

She tried pushing them on the swings but they forgot to hold on and fell plummeting into the sand.

"My word! What are you trying to do, get us killed?"

"Oh come on, you didn't fall that hard."

"And just look at our clothes! Father will not be pleased when he sees this."

"Let's go back to my place, we can wash them before he notices!"

"But what are we going to wear?"

They sat in the girl's bedroom wearing oversized sweaters with dissatisfied looks on their faces.

It was a bit comfy, much to their annoyance.

"Why are you so gung-ho about this "having fun" thing anyway?"

"Well, why are you in such a rush to grow up?"

"Because being grown-up is the best!"

"How do you know? You've never been one. Adults have to do boring stuff like work and paying bills. That doesn't sound very fun to me."

"Hmmm."

"We won't be kids forever, even I know that. Everyone grows up eventually. That's why I think we should enjoy it while it lasts. You don't have to rush to grow up just because the adults tell you to. You should enjoy what you have now and do kid stuff while you still can."

Huh...they'd never thought about it like that.

"Want to try out some video games while your clothes are in the wash?"

"Do we have a choice?"

"Nope. Not really."

So they played some video games. The controls were so confusing and they didn't quite understand it, but they got to play a giant sword-fighting robot character so that was a perk.

Once their clothes were dry they were a bit disappointed. They wanted to get better at that game so they could come back and whoop Kuki's butt at it.

"Well you can come back tomorrow, if you really want to."

So they came back the next day. And the day after that. And several days after that. After some point they were pretty much sneaking over to her house everyday.

She gave them some stuffed toys to keep as a souvenir once they finally beat her. The stuffed toys were terrifying at first but they eventually got over it and secretly used the toys as sleeping buddies (but don't tell Father).

And that was the result of the day the DCFDTL paid a great debt to the all-powerful beast known as Kuki Sanban.
