Introduction (Semi-Long):

I promised I would throw in one more story to Chowder's archive because of how much I adored the show, thinking of an idea was quite complex , but, I managed to pull it off.

Let's date back a year ago, then, lets come back to reality, jump back a year again, and come back to reality. As you notice everybody changes, oh and I must give credit to English class, all that hard work paid off, however it took a toll on my imagination so things won't be as usual and not cheesy! Thank God for my English Teacher! This section changed with it, the amazing ideas pulled off by the authors. Simply amazing, I've never seen such creativity, kudos to all the Chowder Fanfiction authors that come to my liking (Almost everyone).

Chowder was a great show, and they ended it. Nobody knows the real reason; all those other reasons could be fraudulent ideas.

It was quite fun while it lasted, especially the Fanfiction archive when the show was at its peak, a lot of Chowini stories that where quite decent and to everybody's liking. I guess it's died down by now, we only have about five authors – of what I can remember on the top of my head and after 2 more stories we'll have four. Sadly all the great ones (I won't be mention names). (Furtureauthor13) (SlayerBVC) (Thrice Cream) and many others, are getting bored with the constant "I'm not your boyfriend." Phrase, which isn't old yet, but, quickly dying down, the Fanfiction stories in 2008 where the best (Even though I never heard of it (Fanfiction by late 2009) - Especially Trapped Romance, Jesus! Such a great story!

I surely do miss all those great times and it does bring tears to see all the memories flash by on this amazing section. I can only pray that it has a good ending.

Yes, my very last story which I promised to work hard on, and I don't procrastinate!

Let's get started!

One last note: This I about 2 years after Chowder 'Grew Up'

Don't worry; I'm trained to make an over-dramatic story.

"Even the show is overdramatic!"

-Capt. Hyatt


Crunch, crunch, crunch! The grass made the audible noise when stepped on. However, my dearest Panini and I were walking on one of the finest grasses in Marzipan City. It's nearly been 2 years since our marriage… Already… We both touched the grass, it felt like the softest pillow ever created, it seems like it's a creation of God. This whole meadow, a creation of God! Simply amazing, the sight, everything! Made my mouth agape that it would fall to the earth's molten core, seas of flowers, name it and its there, Roses, dandelions, bluebonnets! Oak, tree's, Maple trees, willows stretching over the pond- a heavenly picture. We walked over to an immense Maple tree; it looked like it soared to the heavens, the light illuminated each leaf so it looked like a Knishmass tree. Only one hundred time bigger than the average one. The leaves and bark looked like blood; it had engraving of hearts all over it. This very spot was full of memories. Not plain memories, quixotic ones.

"I can only remember it when we were kids. Oh boy was it a long one" Panini sighted dosing into a memory.

"Yeah, I can only imagine what you felt when I ran from you for the two hundredth time. It must have been like stabbing a knife through your gut huh, and when my fate was about to become sealed?"

"No… That's too hard of a memory to take in" She said raising a hand shaking it.

"I've actually gotten so used to it that I liked it that way, either way if you dude start to love me when we were kids, I wouldn't of have liked you because I was extremely familiar with you running away from me. Well, probably the first couple of times I felt what you predicted, but, the first time you ran away from me, it was the hardest thing any girl could accept, and I felt it to the core. It did indeed felt like my gut was turning at least a thousand times a minute. I should now hear your side, because I already told you what I felt and thought during those years."

There was an extremely long pause.

"Well? What's your side to the story? We both agreed to tell our sides of the story when we both got married." Panini exclaimed.

I was still trying to process her extremely long sentence, but, I made it out.

(Note: Chowder talks for about 3 pages, it gives a briefing of him and Panini and then it gets extremely in-depth. You're going to get bored halfway through, have fun! This is only 1/3)

"Well, of course you probably remembered back then when I met you at Gazpachos Stall, it felt like it was only yesterday and I was tremendously scared when you kept staring at me, a stinging feeling smacked my stomach, your eyes were glued onto me, and before I knew it, you were talking to me. It was like I was the child and you were the ghost I was scared of your every move. Even though you were supposet to be nice to me, I thought that you were trying to endorse me into loving you. You can't really do that, I'm usually not that rude, so, I didn't say it to you that you can't do that. When Gazpacho asked us what we were doing you said that we where lovebirds, I was extremely embarrassed and ran away from you, as you described the feeling that it was harsh. When I reached my house, Mung was there, I don't know how that old man could run from me. Maybe he wants me to get into girls, but, that was on the bottom my priority list. I lied to him when he asked questions, and I never lie to my cooking master, but, In this case it was extremely necessary for me to. I rushed into my room, the key under the carpet, which you used to your advantage rarely when you needed to talk to me."

Panini nodded smiling, "Yes I love how you kept forgetting to hide it elsewhere."

"Ok, where was I, oh yes, I ran into my room, even though it was only a few steps it completely knocked out my breath, it was hard, the word, the images, all glued to my head. It was too much for me to take; it was surprisingly night time even though I met you at daytime. I must have been thinking for hours on end. When the worrying died down I managed to get sleep, but, it's always like that when you find somebody that loves you and you have no idea what to do. It's too overdramatic and an odd dream becomes a reality. I could possibly only imagine what you went though that whole day. So I decided to take another walk at night, I hypothesized that you weren't out, big mistake. Near your cooking masters house I saw you emerge from the door, there wasn't something to hide behind so I just ran. Thank god you didn't see me, or I would've become trapped forever in your 'love thoughts of prison' I was already tired of all that running. Went to bed and passed out instantly without waking up my parents, ah, they're heavy sleepers, even if you swing at bat at them they won't wake up."

"The next day, it's too much to talk about, I can only remember" Chowder said finishing, but, the memory was too fresh in his brain, he recalled everything.


Approximately 2 P.M

"Chowder! Wake up; you're late for our morning cooking!" Came the voice of Mung Daal.

I tried opening my eyes; they were extremely hard to open due to the lack of sleep.

"Coming!" I yelled. While finally managing to open my eyes.

I threw on a couple of clothes; Mung Daal is extremely strict on what clothes I wear.

I sprinted downstairs to meet the face of Mung Daal, "Endives at it again, we must beat her."

"Well? What's the recipe" I asked

(Here comes the turning point in the story.)

"It's something extremely hard to make, but, you need two people to show insane love to each other while making it and the recipe will be enough to beat her, its called Roque. If we fail to accomplish our goal - Ms. Endive knows all the secrets of our cooking already, she can easily close us down, because we're the poor ones and she's the rich one, along with her apprentice, I heard that she loves you? It's only one in a million odds of that happening and if that's true the recipe will become history if two enemy masters' apprentices' both make it, never such a thing has happened."

I was trapped with two choices:

Confess a love and try to act it out.

Walk away and never make history and have Mung Daal live under poverty.

I could only imagine the future if I chose choice A, Mung Daal's company would have so much business to overpower Endive and we'll be able to throw her out. They've been enemies for years. Then again, I'd have to go through hell by confessing that I love Panini, It's something that could kill me.

Or Choice B, Find someone else and have a high chance of the company being closed, only a miracle would have to happen for this to work. My entire family could die from starvation or disease and such, I would possibly too,

That girl is crazy, choice A is the only option.

I muttered a prayer. There was no turning back.

"Ms. Endives apprentice shows a longing for me, not minor, but, it's a major one. When she set those eyes on me, she clicked too fast for me to process what was going on. Boom! A peaceful day cursed. Mung, I don't really like her, but, the felling keeps coming back to me all the time."

"Ah, but, you do love her. I remember when I was your age, they was a lot of woman crazy for me I had that insane feeling, its ironic love is good, but, it can be a pain for the decider."

"Only the real Mung Daal would say that" I thought.

"Chowder, do what you must do, it could turn out good, but, you may have to take the risk that every couple does, you'll have to find that out for yourself. Women are very sensitive and one slip-up and it's all gone. I can only weep that my kitchen does not close down due to your mistake. Only the fate of our business lies on your hands. Try her, you may like it, don't and we'll be living under poverty. That's only if she can persuade Ms. Endive to make you live with both of them. "

"I would kill myself! Living with someone I don't love, but, it's the other way around for her, and living with my father's worst enemy! Are you crazy?"

"Chowder, you don't want to die don't you? We're old and you're still young, however you have not made the choice yet, you should think about it very hard. Remember you're playing love, it's something not to mess around with."

"Now go! Only your choice makes the difference now! You wanted to be in this position your whole life, now, you're in it!" Mung said pushing me outside.

I heard the door slam, I looked to the left, that's choice A, Endives palace stood mighty and willing to prevail at anything that you throw on it.

I glanced to the right, an empty road where I can run away to, but, never have a family again or a home, I may die on this road, but, it sure beats the thought of being with her.

"What road will I choose? Death or freedom with a price?" Chowder said putting his hands to his face.


Well, that concludes it for chapter one.
