A/N: I don't own One Piece, but I do own Nero Lich and Nero Kishido.

"Daddy, play with me!"

Lich grunted and rolled over in his sleep. Perona was most likely up very early to clean or some shit. He tried to ignore his son's finger pressing into the small of his back.

"Daddy!"

"Nnn. Goway." mumbled Lich, feeling very lethargic.

"DADDY!" Kishido yelled.

"WHAT?!" Lich yelled back.

"Play with me!"

Lich sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He looked at the clock. It was about nine AM on Thriller Bark, way too early to be playing, but Perona would surely scold him if he didn't, so…

"Ugh…what do you want to play?"

"Hide and seek!"

"Ok, be right there. I'll start counting now." lied Lich.

"Okay!" replied Kishido, running off to hide somewhere. Lich lay back down in the bed.

Ten minutes later, he felt someone poking his back again.

"Kishido, it's too early to play."

The poking in his back continued.

"GO AWAY." he said sternly.

The poking continued.

"Kishido, if you do not go away right now I will ground you for a MONTH."

"Oh, really?" replied his wife's voice.

Lich suddenly sat up at lightning speed and saw Perona glaring at him.

"Ah hah…" he muttered lamely. He seemed to shrink under Perona's gaze.

"Why are you not playing with Kishido?" she asked, her voice like ice.

"Perona-chaaan!" he whined. "It's too early to play!"

"I'm not sleeping in, am I?"

Lich scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, but you're a woman."

"And what's that supposed to mean?!" she screeched.

"Well…uh…"

"Listen mister, you will play with Kishido RIGHT NOW or you're sleeping on the floor tonight."

"Ok, ok…"

Lich got up and got dressed, then went to look for his son. After a good half-hour of searching, he found him hiding in the forest.

"I found you!" announced Lich.

"Yay!" cheered Kishido.

"So, what do we do now?"

"Uh, I dunno."

"We could sing a song."

Absalom, who was passing by, tried to ignore the sounds of Lich-sama and Kishido-kun singing 'The Wheels on the Bus.'

"I will not ask, I will not ask, I will not ask…" he said to himself.

A/N: Sorry about the lameness of this, my creativity's been off lately…
