NOTE: This time, I'll be writing my favorite stories on Doraemon, a whole lot of people voted for to choose a random story, so here it is! (*Although there isn't)

So here's a story from Vol. 40, enjoy!! Sorry it took so long to update!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a bright sunny morning, and Nobi was raising his book, that he brought from the book store, to Doraemon. "The newest vol. 8 of Tanki Kun is out!" he shouted happily to Doraemon.

Doraemon was, in fact, excited. "We've been waiting for that for a long time!"

They quickly went inside and ran upstairs, making loud thumps as they went up. Their mom, who was seating at the living room, saw them as they went up. "The manga books of Tanki Kun is really fun to read!" Doraemon said.

"He's been reading those manga books but never been doing his homework," his mother pointed out, irritated. "Go and talk to him!" she said to his husband.

When he got there, he saw Doraemon and Nobi both reading the book they just bought. "Don't read those manga, it's worthless!" his father provoked. "But it's fun to read it!" Nobi demanded, showing the manga book to his dad.

Just then, when he saw the content of the manga book, he was surprised. "Wow! This is my favorite manga book when I was still a kid!" he said, fascinated. "You're wrong, dad, we just bought it and it was released a while ago," they both said.

But still, his dad was still shocked as he read the new, just released, manga book. "I cannot be wrong!" It was like he's defending that he saw this manga book when he was a kid.

"I think you're just imagining things, dad!" Nobi said to his dad. But he didn't listen and still continued looking inside the manga book, "No I'm not! Look, I remember this page!" he defended, pointing a page.

Just then, his mom came in, her head boiling with anger. "Finish your homework first before reading those manga books!" she roared. Nobi placed the manga book at the bookshelf.

Shizuka went to Nobi's house, holding a plate full of Biwa/Loquat fruits. "Here is a plate full of Biwa fruits from our tree in the backyard." she said, giving the plate to Nobi's mom. "Thank you!" she thanked.

Just then, Doraemon and Nobi tried to get the plate, but his mother won't. "Finish your homework first before you eat these," she said. "But it's so delicious when you eat it fresh!" they both demanded.

She then gave it to them and dashed upstairs. "Let's eat those first before finishing your homework!" Doraemon spoke. "Sure!" Nobi counted on that.

So they the the Biwa/Loquat fruits one by one, "It's delicious!" Nobi said, dumbfounded. "It should be more cool if we had a tree in our backyard, right?" Doraemon adviced.

"We had a Persimmon tree in our backyard a long time ago!" Nobi spoke, remembering the times he had when they still had that tree. "'Shizuka, here are persimmon fruits! That came from our backyard' I'll give her loads of it!" he wondered aloud, then went to the time machine in the desk.

But Doraemon spoke, "That's cool, but you can't!"

"Why not?" Nobi asked. He continued, "It's okay to get some persimmon fruits using the time machine, but it's broken and still fixing it." This became Nobi depressed, "I wanted to give Shizuka loads of persimmon fruits!" he cried aloud.

That's when Doraemon took out a tiny gadget from his pocket. It was small, it had a tiny antenna from the top, the front had 2 tiny rectangular screens and below it were 4 tiny buttons. "Time Room!" he shouted. "Using this gadget, your room will be the only one going back in time!"
