**Oy! Sorry about the slow beginning chapters, but that's how it is with my fanfics! "Start out slow, end up strong!"
***And again and again, sorry about the uh, gross Raiden stuff... it's just that-- AIEEEE!!! *LOL*

Hit The Stove, Jack!

Chapter 4 - My Fair Ladle

Some of the Konami staffers were now decorating the studio for the new cooking show, as Hideo was talking to Otacon about how he wanted the show to be set up.

"So..." he began.
"You, Snake and...uh... what's his name... the fruit. Yes. You all are going to be in this show."

Otacon rolled his eyes. He already knew that.

"And anyways, how I have it set up;
You stand here, in the main area, and wait till the music starts,
then, you introduce Snake, who will then come out over here..."

Hideo walked around, showing Otacon the places where the others were going to appear.

"I haven't decided about Raiden yet, but he should stand here,
next to the dead emu carcasses."

Otacon nodded. "Got it." he said. Hideo nodded approvingly "Good." he replied. Then they waited for the little break-thingie because this was very boring.

Meanwhile, Raiden was in his 'dressing room' sitting without any pants in his dressing room... chair. He stared downward and smirked. "You know..." he said slyly "I still think the Fitness show was a better idea... Really Raiden? ... Oh yeah. Such a great idea." he then made kissy faces to himself... augh. "And I could've done it all by myself too." he then stood up, and looked at himself in the mirror. "I mean, look at me! I'm so... so... pretty!!" he then sighed in awe at himself, and flashed a smirk. "You devil, you." he said.
Just then, a loud bang was at his door. He jolted, and quickly got his sneaking suit pants back on. "W-Who is it??" he asked, putting on his pants, and then realizing he was putting them on the wrong way. "It's Rose hunny...uh... bunny!" a voice said outside the door.

"Rose?" Raiden asked, now getting his pants on the right way. "Yes, Rose you dork! Rose, as in your GIRLFRIEND??" she yelled. Raiden nodded. "Oh yeah! Rose!" he said, adjusting his pants and opening the door. Rose then pranced in, and acted all girly.
"So!" she began "I hear you're starting your own cooking show! Well, not your OWN cooking show... you know what I mean." she sighed. Raiden nodded. "Yup. A cooking show!" Rose then continued to prance around the dressing room, more fruitier than Raiden, then she looked at herself in the mirror. "You have a nice dressing room." she said, as she reached into her pocket.

Raiden nodded again. "Yup. A cooking show! -- I mean, uh, thanks." he said. Rose then began to smile evilly. "To bad it won't be yours..." she sneered. Raiden looked at her confused. "What?" he asked. Then, Rose turned to him quickly, taking a tranquilizer gun out of her pocket.

"That's right... it'll be mine. ALL MINE!!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!" Then Rose began to laugh evilly for a long time... but when she stopped, she realized Raiden had run away.
