One-Shot 9 - Spelling-Bee

Lambo had been doing well so far. He got very word right. There was no hesitation when he spelled out a word, no nervous feeling in his stomach when the announcer called on him. Nothing. Lambo was going good. Better than the rest. He was in the lead. His family were there in the audience to cheer him on. Ever since Tsuna became the 10th boss of the Vongola family, everyone had become closer. Tsuna was like a big brother to Lambo. And as a big brother, Tsuna couldn't let him down. So he came to Lambo's school spelling-bee. And it was only natural that the rest of the Vongola came too. Gokudera didn't approve of Tsuna going on his own so he went along too. Yamamoto over heard the two of them talking about it and decided to come along, saying that it sounded fun. Ryohei decided to come, saying that he wanted to cheer Lambo on 'to the extreme'. Hibari chose to come so that no one would 'disrupt the peace' at that school. And last, but not least, Mukuro came. Tsuna had invited him for he thought that it would be a good chance for Mukuro to leave his imprisoned state in the Vindicare Prison.

The spelling-bee had been going on for 2 hours now. There were 15 students all together participating in this, including Lambo. But 10 were eliminated during different rounds when they spelt a word wrong. The final round soon came and there were only 3 students left. Lambo and two kids named Toshiro and boys had made mistakes during their turn and now it was Lambo's. If Lambo spelt all of the next words right, he would become the winner and win the big trophy he's been going on abut for weeks. The audience silence as Lambo stepped into the centre of the stage. Lambo gave a glance to his family before turning back to the announcer, Miss. Hime.

This was it.

"Spell the word 'Tropical' " Miss. Hime instructed.

"Tropical" Lambo said. "T-R-O-P-I-C-A-L. Tropical"

"Correct" Miss. Hime said.

The audience gave a small clap and Tsuna gave Lambo a smile. Lambo smiled back.

"Dictionary" Miss. Hime said.

"Dictionary. D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y. Dictionary" Lambo said.

"Correct" Miss. Hime said. "Different"

"Different. D-I-F-F-E-R-E-N-T. Different" Lambo said.

"Correct"

Another round of small claps came as Lambo got the 3rd word right. Tsuna was proud of Lambo. No matter how he was, he seemed to be taking this seriously. But Tsuna spoke to soon. Something weird happened. It was so unexpected. None could explain what happened. But the Vongola had an idea of why Lambo did what he did.

"Tuna" Miss. Hime said.

"Tuna?" Lambo muttered as he thought about it. "Tuna. T-S-U-N-A. Tuna" Lambo said.

Tsuna chocked on air. Gokudera muttered 'stupid cow' while the rest of the Vongola gave a small chuckle.

"That is incorrect" Miss. Hime told him.

For some reason, Lambo couldn't understand how his answer was wrong.

"Dynamite" Miss. Hime said.

"Dynamite. G-O-K-U-D-E-R-A. Dynamite" Lambo said.

"Incorrect"

"Eh!?" Tsuna muttered.

"That stupid cow!" Gokudera growled as he clenched a fist and glared at Lambo from his seat in the audience.

"Why's Lambo spelling names instead of things?" Yamamoto asked.

"That's extremely weird" Ryohei said.

"Kufufufu. Weird indeed. But it makes you wonder what he's thinking of to say these things. Or should I say 'who' he's thinking of" Mukuro said.

"What are you talking about?" Tsuna asked.

Mukuro remained silent but gave a smile.

"Athletic" Miss. Hime said.

"Athletic. Y-A-M-A-M-O-T-O. Athletic" Lambo said.

"Incorrect"

"Oh! Now he's saying my name" Yamamoto said.

"What the hell does that stupid cow think he's doing!?" Gokudera asked.

"Boxer" Miss. Hime said.

"Boxer. R-Y-O-H-E-I. Boxer" Lambo said.

"Incorrect"

"Ryohei too?" Tsuna muttered.

"Discipline"

"Discipline. H-I-B-A-R-I. Discipline" Lambo said.

Hibari whipped out his tonfas. "I'll bite him to death" Hibari said.

"No, wait, Hibari!" Tsuna said to him.

"What is it, herbivore?"

"I'm sure there's a logical explanation for all of this. I'm sure Lambo has a good reason for spelling our names like he is" Tsuna said.

"Like what?" Ryohei said.

"......I'm not sure"

"Tch! Just get out of my way so I can bite the cow to death" Hibari said.

"Bastard! Stop giving the 10th trouble!" Gokudera growled.

"Now, now, everyone. Calm down..." Mukuro began with a smile. "I'm sure the young cow is just being a little comedian. This is all just a joke. Don't take it so seriously-"

"Pineapple" Miss. Hime said.

"Pineapple. M-U-K-U-R-O. Pineapple"

At that, the Vongola tensed and looked at Mukuro, who looked anything but calm. A vein had appeared on the side of his head and he began twitching. He had some kind of evil smirk on his face too. This was not looking good.

"I'm sending that brat to hell" Mukuro said as his eye turned into one of the 6 paths.

As soon as a trident came into view, the Vongola quickly jumped to stop their illusionist. All 4 of them latched onto Mukuro and tried to hold him down as he squirmed around, trying to get out of their clutches.

"No, Mukuro. Don't!" Tsuna said as he held onto him, stopping him from moving.

"Oh?" Mukruo muttered, still smirking evilly.

"You're causing the 10th trouble" Gokudera said as he too held onto Mukuro.

"I'm sure Lambo's just messing around. Just like you said" Yamamoto said as he too held onto Mukuro.

"Messing around to the extreme" Ryohei said as he also held onto him.

"Messing around or not, I will not accept being referred to as a fruit!" Mukuro said as he twitched some more.

Hibari just watched from afar. Not really wanting to get involved with, what he saw as, 'childish behaviour'.

"Shark" Miss. Hime said.

"Shark. S-Q-U-A-L-O. Shark" Lambo said.

"Incorrect"

"He's spelling out the Varia's names too?" Gokudera muttered.

"Prince"

"Prince. B-E-L-P-H-E-G-O-R. Prince" Lambo said.

"Incorrect. Frog"

"Frog. F-R-A-N. Frog" Lambo said,

"Incorrect! Rainbow!"

"Rainbow. A-R-C-O-B-A-L-E-N-O. Rainbow" Lambo said.

"Incorrect!"

Miss. Hime gave a small cry of frustration. She seemed to have enough of Lambo spelling words wrong. They didn't even make any sense to her!

"Last word..." Miss. Hime said. "Spell 'Family'"

"Family. V-O-N-G-O-L-A. Family" Lambo said. "Did I spell it right?"

"NO!" Miss. Hime shouted, even more frustrated.

"Okay, okay. You don't have to shout" Lambo said.

Lambo then turned to his 'family' in the audience. "Hi, Tsuna, Stupid-Dera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Pineapple Head and Hibari!" Lambo called to from the stage.

A thousand pairs of eyes rested on the Vongola. Tsuna and co. looked around nervously. Mukuro twitched and smirked evilly again.

"Kufufufu. Have you said your final goodbyes, young cow?" Mukuro asked as his eye lit up with dying will flames again.

Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei had to restrain their illusionist once more as he tried to attack Lambo. They all had a pretty good idea why Lambo spelled their names when certain words came up. Let's just hope Lambo remembers to say his final goodbyes because the Vongola might not be able to restrain Mukuro next time.

Reina: Ah, I remember my spelling bee I did in yr8.

Fran: What happened.

Reina: I won. I came 1st! I knew I would anyway. But I did have my doubts of course. All part of me being so paranoid.

Bel: What was the prize?

Reina: A big bar of chocolate and a glass trophy. People were amased in my IT class yesterday that I knew how to spell 'Claustrophobic'. They said I was really smart.

Fran: Interesting.

Reina: So, what did you all think of this oneshot. Good, ne? Maybe not the best, but still good, right. Anyway, next...

Reina/Fran/Bel: How To Grow Your Own Mukuro!

Fran: Again, nothing to do with Bel-senpai or myself, but Tsuna and the Vongola.

Reina: I wonder what it could be about. This one will surely get you all laughing. I will explain how I came up with the idea for the next oneshot in the next oneshot. I hope you look forward to it!

Reina/Fran/Bel: PLEASE READ & REVIEW WITH YOUR DYING WILL!

Reina: See you in the next one, doki~doki!
