Well after searching around, I found another one of my old school assignments. This is the first writing prompt that I was assigned. We had to include a mirror, a wax candle, and a five year-old child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five year-old Goku was lost in a department store. "I don't understand why Bulma thinks she needs to SHOP," he told himself. "Grandpa always told me the land has everything I need."
"There you are, kid," said Bulma. "C'mon, we need to go this way next." She grabs hold of Goku's arm and drags him to the mirror section. Goku is frazzled and tired. He catches a glimpse of himself in one of the most expensive mirrors. Thinking it is someone attacking, he whips out his power bo.
"Ok, you monster, take this!" he yells. "Power Bo, extend!" The power bo extends and ends up breaking three mirrors.
"Goku! Now we have to pay for all this," says Bulma.
"Sorry."
Bulma pays the store manager for the mirrors and counts her cash. "Well, we've got enough left for some candles, at least." She drags Goku with her to the candle section. "Behave."
"What do candles do?" asked Goku.
"They provide light when you don't have electricity," replied Bulma.
"Why don't you just make a fire?" he asks. "That would be alot easier."
"It IS a fire, kid. But it's smaller and easier to control. You just light the wick here." She points to the wick. "They smell nice too."
"Hmmm." Goku looks down the row of display candles. "This could be a practice opportunity," he thinks. Out loud, he yells, "KamehameHA!" A small ki blast shoots out from his hands and lights the candles, as well as some other merchandise. "Hey Bulma! I lit the candles!" He turns around but she's disappeared again. He then sees her through the window, outside waiting for him. He looks around and then quickly exits himself. He and Bulma jump into her hydrojet and take off. Soon they land in the woods near Goku's house. "Bulma," he whined, "we didn't get to buy anything!"
"Of course not! You were too busy breaking stuff. I wasn't about to pay for anything else that you broke," she lectured.
"You seem mad," Goku states.
"I AM mad! And let me tell YOU something -- I'm NEVER, ever, EVER going to take you shopping again!"
Goku grins up at her. "Hey, I thought it was fun." He flicks his tail about happily. "You're just not brave enough to hang out with ME."
"Hmph!" Bulma got back into her hydrojet and took off, leaving Goku alone.
