Chapter 3 - Bean There, Done That
Hideo read through Otacon's sheet of paper which had their show plan(s). "Hmmm... a cooking show. What a great idea. I wish I'd thought of it." he mumbled to himself. He then shook his head quickly, and sat up. "Well, this idea is quite perplexing Otacon! And what did you want again? Me to think of a title for this... show?" he asked. Otacon nodded. But Snake and Raiden (for some strange reason) didn't seem too excited about the idea.
"Hmm.... a cooking show with Metal Gear characters..." Hideo said, tapping his chin. Snake glanced over at Raiden, who also didn't seem 'keen' on the show idea anymore. "What's your problem?" he asked him gruffly. Raiden shrugged. "I dunno. I'm just not interested in this cooking show idea anymore. Maybe it's the author trying to make at least some sort of climax with me." Snake nodded. "Yeah, she'll do that..."
Hideo then snapped his fingers. "I got it! How about 'Down Home Cookin' With... Jam'?" Otacon shook his head. "No... that doesn't make any sense!" he sighed. Hideo chuckled. "Yeah, I guess not... Oh!! I got it!! How about..." Hideo stood up from his seat, and moved his hands as if he was wiping a big sign. "...'ZANZIBEAN!'"
Snake jolted. "Zanzibean!? What kind of name is Zanzibean!?" he yelled. Hideo shrugged, and laughed at himself. "Yeah! Zanzibar : Zanzibean! It's funny!" Snake crossed his arms. "Hmf." he grumbled. Hideo's smile disappeared, and he slumped back in his chair.
"Well," he said all seriously, "if you guys don't like my ideas, I should just leave. And remember, if you don't come up with a big show plan thingy for me on my desk by tomorrow, I'm...uh...um... doing something VERRRY bad!! So... uh..." Then he stood up and ran out the door, leaving Otacon, Snake and Raiden alone in the kitchen...
The next day, Otacon, Snake and Raiden stood yet again in Hideo's office, stacks of papers up to their chins. They had worked all night on their cooking show idea.... well, at least Otacon had worked all night. Hideo then turned in his chair, and faced them. "Well! I see you have your show plans! Lemme see!" he said excitedly. The three of them stacked the papers on his desk, and he quickly looked through them.
"Hmm....mmm hmm... ah! Very nice!
Just what I expected from you guys!
Pure masterpiece!
I love it! I really do!"
Otacon smiled, blushing... he was so flattered. Of course, Snake and Raiden just laughed nervously, since they didn't do anything... except play Tic-Tac-Toes on all of Otacon's draft sheets. Ah well. When Hideo was done, he put his hands together and smiled contently. "You guys will make Konami proud." he said happily. Raiden snuffed. "That's what you said when I got hired for Metal Gear Solid 2! And no one likes me!" he yelled.
Hideo shook his head. "Get out of my office." he sighed.
