A/N: I don't own the Princess Bride... not the movie anyway. Was one of my favorite movies in middle school. XD Besides, I figure something like this would eventually happen...


Izzy yawned as he stepped into the main training room. He was planning to work some more on dodging, something that Mimi and Tentomon had agreed to help him with, so he was dressed lightly in clothing that would facilitate quick movement. Some day when he was better, he would start wearing more constricting clothing or light armor so he could continue to improve.

When he saw Ken step into the room, he waved, assuming that the other boy was also planning to work on something as well.

However, Ken did something that Izzy did not expect whatsoever.

Ken marched up to him, and looked him straight in the eye with a serious look on his face.

"Hello," he spoke. "My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

Izzy dropped his jaw. "What?"

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"Ken, what are you doing? Is that a spoon you're poking me with?"

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"... seriously Ken, what are you doing? You're starting to creep me out."

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"..."

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"You... haven't lost your mind, have you?"

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I apparently killed your father and you're trying to kill me with a spoon. Can you stop now?"

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"Cut it out!"

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

Izzy was somewhat unnerved now. After all, this was Ken of all people doing this. He might have expected someone like Tai, or Davis, or Nicole, but Ken? Fairly serious boy genius?

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

He threw his arms up in the air. "That's it, I'm leaving. Someone needs to get you a shrink."

And he turned to leave the room.

Ken followed him.

"Hello. My name is Ken Ichijouji. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Poke.

"Gaaah!"

Izzy ran.

Ken sat for a moment and stared at the doorway where Izzy had just left, then sighed in resignation, shaking his head and putting a hand to his forehead.

From behind one of the other doors, Davis stepped out holding his stomach, barely able to keep from bursting out into laughter. A few moments later as he approached Ken, he failed.

"I-I can't believe you actually did it!"he gasped, in between breaths.

Ken rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and now he's going to think I'm absolutely insane."

Davis just grinned, clapping his hand on Ken's back. "But wasn't his reaction worth it?"

"Yeah," Ken nodded, having to smile in spite of himself. "It was. Now hand over the money Davis, you owe me."

"Best one thousand yen I ever bet."

"I'm starting to think one thousand yen isn't worth all of the stares I'm going to get when Izzy tells everyone else what I did."
