I took a break to look for pictures of Mochi and I saw a picture of Hiro saying "I'll do it for you" so then a ridiculous idea came to my head. I'm sorry.


The eleven year old Tadashi with a five year old Hiro had 6 quarters and 5 dollars to but whatever they wanted in the store. They went to the store in Tenma Street to get at least a bag of Gummy bears and- what Tadashi suggested-something sweet for Aunt Cass.


They-obviously- went to go get the gummy bears first from the vending machine first. Hiro whispers "YESSSSSSS…" as Tadashi simply pushes the buttons 5-F as the gummy bears fell and hit the bottom with a smack sound. Hiro cheerfully pulls the bag out as he rips it out furiously and slowly pops a bear into his mouth.

Hiro turns to leave but then looks back and sees his older brother gazes longingly at something. Hiro walks up to his brother and tugs the end of his shirt. "What cha' lookin' at?" he asks.

Tadashi smiles. "I found a snack that I remembered Dad used to bring to me when I was little! Before you were born…" He points at a yogurt strawberry snack. He pops into the coin slot two quarters. He presses the buttons 1-B and watches the silver spiral metal to turn. But it didn't.

Tadashi frowns. "Hm, that's odd." He inserts to more quarters. The same thing happens after he puts in a dollar. He grumbles words he can't say in front of Hiro.

He sighs as he makes a firm grip and swings the fist at the glass. His face turns red as the sharp spread across his hand. He shakes his hand regretting the demonstration of how to gat a snack. Unfortunately, Hiro copies-only hitting the wall. The same results come to Hiro as he sniffles a little.

"Hiro?" he says trying to hold in his laugh, putting on a straight face.

Hiro looks up. "Mm-Hmm?"

"You punched the wall, not the vending machine." Tadashi quickly looks away as he snickers. He looks back at the machine as he sighs with frustration.

"This is a piece of junk, I guess it only works for those dumb gummy bears." he struggles to say dumb instead of stupid. "C'mon Hiro, let's not stay here to waste time-let's find some more things to buy!" he tries to lift his tone an tries to sound upbeat as he goes into in front of the cashier to find chocolate.

Hiro looks at the vending machine. He sighs as he looks at the Yogurt Strawberry snack.

It looks like Tadashi really likes those snacks…He's always buying me snacks…so I think I should try to reach for the snacks! I guess I'm small enough to fit in…

"I'll do it for you Tadashi," he whispers as he prepares himself to so something maybe most little kids would do. He drops the bag of gummy bears and makes a "crrreh" sound to make it seem like he's actually cracking his bones.


Five minutes later, Tadashi was satisfied to buy a candy bar for Aunt Cass, since he knows how Cass feels about "getting fat". He then realized Hiro wasn't there to pick the chocolate bar with him. Where can he be? He thought as he turned and already found Hiro doing something-

"Unbelievable!" he shouted as he rushed to the vending machine.

Hiro's head was stuck in the slot were you pick up the candy.

"HIRO!" the eleven year old boy was trembling with fear for his brother in a position that can lead to injury of maybe cause his to go unconscious because his throat is being chocked by the small slot.

"Oh, hey Tadashi," the boy replied casually. "I can't see you right now but maybe if I turn my head-"

"NO, that's dangerous! Don't move!" Tadashi took off his hat because he can already feel a cold sweat falling down his forehead. "Why did you do that!? HOW!?" he was desperate for answers.

"Well…it all started with that snack fruit you wanted so I wanted to grab it for you-"

"WHAT-!?"

"-so I just kinda squeezed my head through the hole thingy-which really hurts right now-"

The older Hamada began panicking as he ran to the cashier-who was extremely lazy- and shouted-

"HELPMEMYBROTHER'SHEADISSTUCKINTHESLOTANDIDON'TWANTHIMTODIE*!CALLSOMEBODY-!"

"Hold on, hold on. I didn't understand that, can you run me through that again, slowly?" he asked slowly and lazily as he stood up from a chair.

Frustrated like it wasn't obvious, Tadashi pointed anxiously, and angrily, at the vending machine, with his brother in it. The man's expression didn't change as if he was motionless as he sat back down.

Tadashi slammed his hands on the desk. "Why aren't you doing anything!? Why did you sat DOWN!?"

The man blinked slowly as he shrugs.

"You know you can call 911, RIGHT!?"

The man blinks again. "I don't have a phone."

"UGH! You are unbelievable!" Tadashi shouts as he threw his hat on the floor. "I will sue you one day!"

Tadashi ran out of the store to find a phone pole and call the emergency number for his little brother.


"Can I just say that I am over whelmed by the call of the police!" Aunt Cass yells as the two boys at the table sat down silently. "Do you know how stupid it is to put your head inside the vending machine, Hiro!?"

Hiro said nothing.

"Hiro, if the machine doesn't work, tell the owner!"

Tadashi opened his mouth to explain how amazingly lazy the man was but he just kept quiet.


Hiro laid on his bed and stared up at the ceiling blankly as his brother sat beside him quietly.

"Hiro," he whispered gently, knowing it would make Hiro feel better after 30 minutes of hearing screaming.

He looks at him. "Yeah?"

Tadashi ran his fingers through his hair. "You put your head through the vending machine just to get your big brother some candy?" he asks.

Hiro nodded.

Tadashi smiles. "That's dumb but brave of you."

Hiro smiles. "Really?"

"But don't do it again."

"I won't." Hiro sat up excitedly. "I have a surprise for you! Close your eyes."

Tadashi closes his eyes, not expecting what he had. He heard some bag in the background, but shortly he heard, "Open you eyes!"

He opened them and was surprised to see the Yogurt Strawberry snack being held in front of his face. "Wha- Hiro! You ACTUALLY got it!?" he exclaimed. He snatches the snack out if his face and opened it immediately.

"Yep, I've actually reached for it. Now, if only my head was smaller I've would've gotten out of there…" Hiro thought out loud. Tadashi chuckles as he rubs his fist on Hiro's head saying "knucklehead".

"Thank you Hiro," Tadashi thanked him.

"You're welcome, Dash," he replies back as he freed himself from his brother's grip.


Done, I think this was a cute story in my opinion. I watched Brother Bear last night and, well, Sitka's death reminded me of Tadashi's. I was gaping at the TV as if it mocked me. Meh, I'm just saying.

* Just to clarify it says "Help, my brother's head is stuck in the slot and I don't want him to die!"

BTW, guess who was the cashier? That's right-the cop from the movie BH6! Ha, who would've guessed it! Also, no more of the Japanese thing-I just can't do it.

So, stay tuned! 'Cause there's more comin' right at ya!

Here's a challenge for those who likes it! Okay, so since this story is written out of order-who can guess it? Guess which chapters were taken place first from the moment the earliest moment to the most modern moment! (Optional)
