It was a slow day in the Dino Curry Restaurant. Asuka walked aimlessly through the kitchen, devoid of anything to do. The other Rangers were nowhere to be seen, and as far as Asuka knew, he was alone for the time being. Asuka felt a pang of loneliness. He wished that Ranru or Ryouga was around so he could talk to them, even listening to Sanjou grouse about something was better than being alone.

Come on. Asuka told himself. This isn't so bad. I mean, I can handle some 'me' time. He looked around. Yeah, he thought. I have the whole place to myself. Asuka walked over to the t.v., got the remote, sat down and propped his feet up on another nearby chair. He turned on the t.v. and flipped through the channels. He wasn't looking for anything particular to watch, just enjoying pressing the button on the remote over and over.

This is kinda cool. Asuka thought. He pressed the remote button again and again, faster and faster, until an image on one of the nearby channels caught his eye. He stopped and watched for a minute. It was a large cartoon bird, talking to what was apparently the t.v. audience.

"All right, boys and girls." The bird said. "Time for our anatomy lesson! Today's body part is . . . feet!"

"What?!" Asuka said out loud. He sat straight up in his chair.

The bird continued. "Let's sing the foot song!"

"No, let's NOT!" Asuka cried. But it was too late. The 'foot song' started playing, along with images of many, many feet.

Asuka was appalled, but so shocked he was somehow unable to tear his eyes from the outrageous sight.

At that very moment, Ryouga and Sanjou walked in. "Hey, Asuka!" Called Ryouga.

"Guys!" Asuka frantically turned off the t.v.

"What were you watching?" Sanjou asked suspiciously.

Asuka shook his head. "Nothing. It was just . . . nothing. Nothing important."

"C'mon, Asuka." Ryouga said cheerfully. "We're all adults. You can tell us."

"Okay." Asuka said reluctantly. He looked around in a shady manner, then turned back to them and said, in a hushed voice, "It was a . . . a bad show."

"Really?" Sanjou asked, sounding intrigued. Ryouga took no such subtle approach.

"Well, don't turn it off because of us! We won't be offended!" Ryouga dived for the remote, and turned the t.v. back on.

On the show, the dreaded foot song continued. Asuka, now a shade of bright red, covered his eyes in terror.

I'll just wait until this horrible thing passes! Asuka thought. He waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened. Then the song stopped. Asuka took his hands off his eyes and cautiously looked over at Ryouga and Sanjou. They were staring at the blank screen, their jaws dropped. Then they slowly turned to look at Asuka.

"Asuka." Sanjou said grumpily. "That was just some stupid kid's show!"

"Yeah, Asuka, there's nothing wrong with that show. Mai watches it all the time."

Asuka's eyes widened. "You actually let her watch that?" He asked.

Ryouga gave him a perplexed look. "Well, yeah. Of course. Like we said, it's a kid's show."

"Kids here are allowed to watch that show?"

"Yes."

"That we saw just now?"

Sanjou rolled his eyes. "Yes."

Asuka's face contorted in shock and disgust. "That's totally disgusting!" He said.

"What?" Sanjou asked. He and Ryouga exchanged puzzled looks.

But before they could say anything, Ranru came into the Restaurant. She stopped in front of them.

"Hi, Guys!" She sang. "I'm going to the spa! Who wants to come?"

"Uh . . ." Ryouga and Sanjou said uncertainly.

"Come on, guys. It'll be fun!" Ranru insisted.

Ryouga and Sanjou looked at each other for a minute, then at Asuka. At the same moment they both pushed Asuka forward and said, in unison, "Asuka will do it."

"What?" Asuka said confusedly.

"Really?" Ranru asked.

"Sure. Anything to get me out of here." Asuka agreed. He let Ranru drag him out of the Restaurant by the hand.
