"I'm trying to do something, Lambo." Gokudera said while moving and signing papers in the Study.

"So we can't have a small chat?" Lambo whined from the doorway.

Gokudera stopped working and turned to the boy. "…Fine. What is it?"

"I was thinking…" Lambo began. "If Yamamocchan and I were drowning in a river, who would you save first?"

Gokudera laughed. "That's obvious. Of course I'd save you."

Lambo nodded. "Okay, okay. What if Vongola and I were drowning?"

There was a moment of silence. Then Gokudera slowly said, "I'd save you."

Tears welled up in Lambo's eyes. "Jerk! You're lying. You had to think about it!"

"These are stupid questions anyways!"

"You'd let me drown to death."

"No, I wouldn't! I'd save you, 'cause the tenth would be able to save himself!"

"Goodness! Now you're saying I couldn't save myself from drowning?"

"You're the moron who asked the inane question in the first place!"

Hearing the commotion all the way from downstairs, Yamamoto came to intervene.

"Hey, hey, what's all this fighting about?" He asked indifferently.

"Take-nii, if Hato-nii and I were drowning in a river, who would you save first?" Lambo asked, wiping away his tears.

"How wide is the river?" Yamamoto asked back.

"Uh… big?"

"What time of day is it?"

"Anytime."

"Hmm… which one's yelling the loudest?"

"We're both yelling at the same volume."

"This is a hard one… I'd save you, Lambo."

Lambo blinked. "Really, why?"

"That's the dumbest question I've heard all day!" Gokudera exclaimed, throwing his hands into the air in exasperation.

Yamamoto agreed and touched Lambo's shoulder, then summoning all of his fatherly charisma possible, he said, "It doesn't matter who you put yourself up against, Lambo, we'd save you."

Lambo narrowed his eyes and looked at both Yamamoto and Gokudera. Here came the final test.

"Alright…" Lambo said, preparing even himself for this ultimate question. "What if you were drowning in the river with me? Who would you save? Me or yourself?"

The two men thought for a long while before shouting, "That doesn't even make sense!"

Gokudera scribbled some stuff down on paper, trying to figure the problem out. "No matter how I look at it, that doesn't make sense!"

"How am I supposed to answer a senseless question?" Yamamoto pondered, grabbing at his baffled head.

"If we say, we save Lambo, we wouldn't be able to, because we'd be dead, right?"

"And if we say ourselves, then Lambo dies! But we can't let that happen!"

"Precisely!"

"What if we say both?"

"No, can't. It's an 'either or' question, isn't it?"

Lambo stared as the two frantically attempted at coming with an answer before turning away and muttering, "Goodness, in your own ways, you're both idiots…"
