Vaughn sat his drink down scowling at Denny. Denny and him were at the Dinner having a drink like they always did. Mark was usually with them, but he was being scolded by Misaki for milking the cows wrong. He had to spend the whole day learning how to do it right. Usually Mark wasn't there because he kept messing up, so the two were use to him not being there. But today Vaughn wished he was there to vouch for him. Just a few seconds earlier Denny questioned Vaughn's manliness. He said that being how Vaughn always cooked he must be more girly than he lets on. Vaughn would have denied it, but then he would have to explain why he was the one who always cooked. And that in its self was worse. Vaughn sighed. He knew he had to vouch for himself; even if it was worse to tell the reason why.
"I'm not girly. I have a reason to why I do the cooking." Denny looked a Vaughn waiting for him to continue. He realized Vaughn was waiting for a response.
"Oh yea? What would that be then?" Vaughn sighed he knew he just dug his own grave for a life time of jokes.
"I hate carrots..." Denny gave him a weird look. Like he wasn't sure what he heard. Vaughn continued. "One night I came home and Misaki was cooking stew for dinner. When she was done I realized that she had cooked carrots with the stew. I hate carrots, but I didn't want to hurt her feeling by not eating it. I ate it. It was torture. So the next day, to make sure I didn't have to eat carrots again, I cooked dinner. Of course though she thought it was because I didn't like her cooking, so when I explained to her why she said that in order not to cook carrots again I had to do all the cooking. Because She liked carrot and would most likely forget that I didn't like them. So I'm NOT girly." Denny was quiet for a second before he busted up laughing. He had tears coming out of his eyes.
"Oh man Vaughn! Hahaha! Oh my Goddess! Hahaha! You mean to tell me that the only reason you cook is becuase your afraid of a little carrot. Hahahaha." Denny took a breath of air and continued to laugh like a hyena. Vaughn scowled and got up and left Denny gasping for air. Vaughn left the Dinner mad at himself for reveling his secret to Denny, but he knew Denny was right. It kills his image anytime someone found out that he hated carrots. He looked up when he heard someone yelling. His hand flew to his mouth to keep his laughter contained. He saw Mark getting yelled at by Eliza for spilling some milk on her dress. Mark looked like he was afraid of the little girl. Vaughn had to turn around to make sure that Mark couldn't see him laughing. Vaughn knew that even if his rep. went down he knew that compared to Mark he was still manly.
