Short chapter. But I got this idea from a 100 percent Hong Kong produced manga called "Super Student" when translated. It was a hilarious piece, so I base my idea on it.

I've seen Eiji's parents once in the 142nd episode, I think. But itis only a short glimpse. I swear his parents are not like the ones I mention in this fic. But anyway, imagine that they are, just for the fluency of this fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Prince of Tennis. I never owned Prince of Tennis, never will.

Enjoy se short chapter.

Part three - A normal day as a member of the Kikumaru family.

"YEAH! We won about 14000 yen from the lottery!" chimed Eiji's energetic mother, "We can go and have a very large feast and I can buy you lots of special toothpaste and gadgets!"

The mentioning of 'toothpaste' alerted Eiji, "Really? Toothpaste?" The redhead started prancing around the living room with his mother.

"Big feast! Big Feast!"

"Toothpaste! Toothpaste!"

"We won't tell dad! We won't tell dad!" The two hyper members of the Kikumaru family chanted.

Just at that moment, a turning of a key in the door was heard. Eiji and his mother turned their heads and realised what was going on.

"Tadaima," said the man of the house, who happened to be Eiji's father.

"Welcome home, father!" said Eiji, who was pretending to do his homework on the table.

"You must have had a hard day," said Eiji's mother, who carried a cup of tea out from the kitchen to the father.

Eiji's father looked at the house. There was something suspicious about the tidiness of it, but he's not quite sure what.

Flashback./

A turning of a key in the door was heard. Eiji and his mother turned their heads and realised what was going on. They shoved all the mess on the floor under the sofa and crammed the food behind the television. They straightened the curtains and arranged the cushions. All that was done in a matter of 2 seconds, you see, they had a lot of practise before.

The door opened, "Tadaima."

End of flashback./

"Is the homework very hard then, son? You're sweating all over," asked the father, who figured that Eiji was having a hard time doing the homework.

"Nya, yes, it is," said the half lying Eiji. The homework was indeed hard, but he wasn't sweating from it, he sweated from the previous prancing with his mother.

The father turned his head and looked at the floor. From underneath the sofa, an edge of a book showed.

"Hm?" Eiji's father said as he knelt down to retrieve the book. In the duration, he also saw many objects trashed underneath the sofa, "What's this?" the father picked up something from underneath the sofa that seemed vaguely familiar to him.

Eiji looked at his father in alert.

"Hoi hoi, dad, I think it's nothing!" said Eiji, trying to reassure his father.

"My very precious pen! How did it get here?" said father.

Eiji pensively remembered that he found this pen in his parents' room and took it out to do his homework. It wasn't his fault because he couldn't find any other pen.

"Nya, I don't know how it got there."

"Oh, anyway, now I've find it!" The father jumped joyously into his room.

Eiji mentally noted that his father was one clueless man. After he saw so much trash underneath the sofa, he didn't ask anything about it at all?

-The next day-

"How did we end up eating McDonalds, mum? I thought you said we were having a big feast?" said Eiji. He really thought the meaning of a big feast meant something luxurious.

"Big feasts in McDonalds, what else can you ask for?" said the mother, who chewed up her cheeseburger.

"And what about the toothpaste you promised?" asked the anxious Eiji.

"I didn't eventually get the chance to buy the lottery ticket you see. I only guessed the correct numbers," the mother continued chewing up her burger.

And to hearing that, Eiji sat on the seat in McDonalds, too shocked for words.

The end.

I hoped you liked that short piece of stuff. Er, it actually took longer to write than you think because I had a hard time thinking of an ending to it. It was too hard to end, and I also had to think up Eiji's father's reactions.

Oh, and here's an equation to solve.
