Hello all! I decided to try my hand at writing fanfics. Here is a cheery first one, I hope you like it.

There should be 10 chapters by the time I finish.

CHII GOES TO SCHOOL

money problems
--------------------
"It's a great idea if you don't have the money to update a persocon's software." Shinbo was sitting on the floor of Hideki's apartment, showing him a well-handeled pamphlet. Hideki took the folded piece of paper from Shinbo and looked at the cover; pictures of persocons and a large orange building plastered the front page.
"Are you sure Chii can go to this place? I mean, she's different than other persocons." Minoru replyed, "Chii may be a Chobit, but she is still a computer. Besides, Chii is always capable of learning. You taught her to speak, and many other things as well. The school will show persocons without the necessary software how to do things such as cooking, accounting, even to play an instrument if you wish."
Hideki viewed the pamphlet a second time, reading from the front to the back. "And how much will this cost me?" He asked.
The answer wasn't what he had hoped for.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's the matter, sensei?" Yumi's concerned face appeared in front of Hideki's. "You've been quieter than usual today." Hideki sighed, apologizing. He then explained to her how he has been trying to get Chii into the school for persocons.
"Is it really necessary for Chii-chan to go to school?" Yumi questioned. "I think she's fine the way she is." Hideki had thought the same thing last night until Chii found the pamphlet.
"Hideki, what is this?" she had asked.
"It's a school Chii, a school for persocons." He answered.
"School. That is a place where you learn."
"That's right."
"If Chii goes to school, she will learn?"
Hideki nodded.
"Chii wants to learn." Chii continued, "... can Chii go to school?"
Hideki remembered the hopeful look on Chii's face when she had asked him that question. Of course he told her she could go.
"Well, if it's really that important to you... I'll ask father to give you a raise. It's about time you asked for a promotion anyways." Yumi offered.
Hideki just looked at her. "You would do that?"
Yumi smiled.
Hideki hugged her tightly, "Yumi- I owe you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the raise, Hideki had a bit of an easier time saving money. If he was really careful about his spending, he should have enough to send Chii to school by the time it opened. Sumomo and Kotoko would be joining her so she wouldn't be alone; dang Shinbo, mobile persocons were admitted to the school for one-third the price as Chii would.
At least Chii would learn to cook better, and maybe even help Hideki with his studying. The "Hideki, fight!"s simply weren't cutting it lately.
