Heyo, everyone! Welcome back to RttCR one-shots! This here was requested by: no one. However, it was suggested by my older sister, who owns T.E.C.M.I.. I am writing this today because I didn't manage to get a chapter out yesterday. Hopefully I'll get another chapter of RttCR up today as well. I should be able to. Maybe. Anyway.
Delicious and Moist - Rated K - Humor
Summary: T.E.C.M.I. tries to convince the ninja and friends to eat her food suggestions.
Takes place: At lunchtime, the first day they're in the Cursed Realm. Right after chapter 25.
"Alright everyone, let's stop." Lloyd called the others to a halt.
"Finally! Time to eat!" Jay said excitedly, pulling T.E.C.M.I. the food machine out of his backpack. He had insisted on carrying her, probably because he seemed obsessed with machines. As soon as she could see, T.E.C.M.I. flickered to life.
"Greetings, loyal customers!" she chirped. "Would you like to try today's special of grilled crab patties, seasoned with wasabi and sweetened lime jui-"
"No, T.E.C.M.I., let's just have some normal food." Kai interrupted her. "Like, noodles or something."
"Really? But crab patties are delicious!"
"No thanks." Ming said calmly. "Sorry T.E.C.M.I., but I don't think people really like your food." T.E.C.M.I. sighed. She had had enough.
"You people are BORING!" she exclaimed, her screen glowing an angry red. "I faithfully give you delicious idea EVERY SINGLE MEAL, and you deny them EVERY TIME! The only one of you who's BRAVE enough to even TRY my food is Jessica!"
"Yeah!" Jessica agreed. "Her food is awesome! You should try it, Lloyd."
"Um... maybe..." the green ninja didn't accept, so T.E.C.M.I. tried again.
"Couldn't you at least just try it once? Just for me?" she asked innocently.
"Why? You're just a machine, anyway." Cole folded his arms.
"Zane is a robot." T.E.C.M.I. pointed out. "Is HE just a machine?"
"No!" the four other ninja said at once.
"But he has feelings, and emotions." Kai said. "Do you?"
"Of course I do!" T.E.C.M.I. said in shock. "You actually thought I didn't? Sheesh! With a creator like Techi, of course I have emotions! She's the Elemental Master of Technology!"
"Wait, she is?" Lloyd asked, shaking his head a moment later. "Well, it doesn't matter. Sorry T.E.C.M.I., let's just stick with normal food today."
"No." T.E.C.M.I. said firmly. "I'm not giving you anything but what I suggested."
"T.E.C.M.I..." Kai said in a warning tone.
"If you blow me up, I can't make any food at all." T.E.C.M.I. said smugly. "And you didn't pack any food, so your only source of food is me."
"I hate to admit it, but she's right." Lloyd said with a sigh.
"I don't have to eat food." said Indigo, who was lying on the ground where Kai had put her.
"Well, everyone but you and Zane have to eat, which means I guess we'll have to eat her food. Nya?" Lloyd turned to the water ninja, who grumpily shot a jet of water from her hand at the machine. T.E.C.M.I. glowed brightly for a few moments before producing eight places of crab with wasabi and lime juice. She handed them to their recipients, who eyed them dubiously, except for Jessica who happily began eating it. Jay cautiously scooped a bite onto his fork and brought it to his lips slowly.
"This is..." his eyes widened as he chewed it. "This is awesome! It's delicious!" Kai took a bite as well.
"You're right! This is awesome!" the fire ninja agreed. All the others tasted it as well, even Indigo, and confirmed that it was the best food they'd ever tasted, and from then on they only ate what T.E.C.M.I. suggested for the rest of the adventure.
Well, that was short. Hope you liked it!
BTW, the chapter title is a reference to the credits song from Portal. It's a really funny game and the songs are awesome. :D
Bye!
