Title: "Exploding 'Thank You'"

Summary: It seemed to take a shorter amount of time than usual, because Lambo didn't even have a chance to get a foot away when she exploded.

Disclaimer: I do not own KHR! nor any of its amazing characters. I do, however, own the plot to this one-shot.


I-Pin didn't understand why Lambo wasn't acting like Lambo. The cow-child was being a good boy for once. He wasn't stealing candy. He wasn't acting all high-and-mighty. And he was listening to her (For the Most part). It was scary to the pupil of Fon, because she had grown accustomed to, and even liked the Lighting Guardian's behavior. What had happened to her broccoli monster friend?

When she and Lambo decided to go to the park that day ("We'll catch up in a minute", Kyoko and Haru called over to them), the two children Hitmen raced each other, like usual. Who ever got to the twisty slide first won. It was quite fierce, and I-pin loved the rush that she got. Though something surprised her. Lambo wasn't cheating.

Whenever they raced, he would try to tackle her to the ground, or throw grenades, or distract her somehow. But today, he wasn't. And that was strange. Why was Lambo being so nice to her? Was something wrong with him? Did the ten-year Bazooka somehow malfunction and make him different?

I-pin, being the straightforward baby Hitman that she was, decided to confront the messy-haired Bovino member. She had to win first, of course. With a few more of her tiny strides, she was able to get to the blue plastic twisty slide with a triumphant cry. Lambo was just behind her, looking a bit irritated by losing, but not commenting on it. Instead, he congratulated her. And that scared her. Because…

Lambo, the arrogant five-years-old Hitman of the Bovino familiga, congratulated her for beating him. It was unknown for this to happen. So unknown that if Tsuna had been there he would have fainted from shock!

"Lambo," I-Pin asked in a small voice, her face scrunching up with worry, "What's the matter? Why are you being so nice!?"

The cow-child blinked his large green eyes at her, looking taken-a-back from the tone of her voice. "It's I-Pin's birthday," he stated, a confidant smile forming on his face, "Lambo-san decided to be nice! It's my birthday present to I-pin, Gyahahaha!"

I-pin blushed lightly at that. And then, as Lambo continued to laugh and she had time to think about what had happened, her face became a red so bright it would have made any tomato proud. And the Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion Countdown began. It seemed to take a shorter amount of time than usual, because Lambo didn't even have a chance to get a foot away when she exploded.
