*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"EEEERRRRIIIIKKKAAAAA!"

"Ah oh…." Erika ran down to Henry's store to see if the racket was about what she thought it was about.

"Doctor Aki, reason with me here, you are famous, you are a millionaire, surely you could buy your own pudding factory if you wanted too, why in the world bug me, my shop, my pudding?" Henry asked desperately, trying frantically not to cry at the large amount of pudding Doctor Aki was engulfing at the moment.

"Because its so much easier to come down here, *gulp* and eat this *slurp* delicious pudding!" Doctor Aki calmly stated, while eating another whole container of pudding.

Erika observed all this in silence. 'How on Earth can Doctor Aki eat all that pudding without getting sick?' she wondered in a mixture of amazement and sickness.

"ERIKA DO SOMETHING!" Henry shouted, grabbed the pudding from Doctor Aki's gripped fingers.

"Coming!" She shouted, quickly taking Doctor Aki by the arm and dragging him out before he could grab the pudding back from Henry.

"Doctor Aki, you really should buy the pudding you eat." Erika chided him, handing him a napkin to rid himself of the pudding remains that had somehow got smeared across his cheek, nose, forehead, and even hair.

"But it's soooo gooood." He whined pathetically, glancing back to give the pudding displayed on the window one last longing look.

"Hey Erika!"

Erika turned at the sound of her name. Ikki was running to her, with Medabee not far behind.

"Well? Well?" He asked anxiously.

"Well what?" Erika asked confused. 'What is Ikki going on about?'

"Karen and Koji! Are they going out?" Ikki asked impatiently.

"I don't know."

"WHAT?"

Erika glared at Ikki. There were more important things in the world then finding out wither Karen and Koji were an official couple.

"Like what?" Ikki asked glaring at her.

Erika shut her mouth. 'Opps, I didn't realize I said the last part out loud.' She thought. A movement out of the corner of her eye came to her rescue for the moment.

"Doctor Aki! Come back here!" She yelled running away from Ikki to get Doctor Aki away from the pudding before Henry finds out she accidentally let him go.

"Um…Erika? Why are you dragging Doctor Aki out of Henry's store?" Ikki asked, a little disturbed by the image of a grown man begging for pudding like a baby, while Erika acting like his mother was dragging him out.

"A favor." She curtly answered, handing Doctor Aki over to Brass so she could hold him and let her have a break.

"I haven't seen Koji or Karen yet today, so I couldn't ask them wither they were going out or not." Erika told him.

Ikki's face held a strange mixture of emotions. 'Reminds me of my mom's stew.' Erika thought absently before shoving the thought out of her mind. 'Stew? Ew! Where did I get that idea? Yuck!'

"So St-er-Ikki, how was your day?" Erika asked, trying to make some small talk.

"Okay I guess, I got into a row-battle with Samantha, I won of course, but besides that, boring." Ikki's eyes suddenly light up as a certain girl walked their way.

"Hello Ikki, Hello Erika." Karen greeted, smiling sweetly at them, her medabot Netranurse beside her.

"Hi Karen, how was your date last night?" Ikki asked immediately.

Karen closed her eyes and smiled. "Really nice." She said, her eyes opened almost immediately, her gaze at her uncle.

"Uncle Aki? What are you doing?"

The trio looked over at Doctor Aki whose face was distorted in concentration and pain.
"Karen, dear, be a sweetheart and buy my a pudding." He said, twisting around to be free of Brass's strong grip.

"I'm sorry Doctor Aki, but your doctor told me to keep you away from pudding. You're going to be sick if you eat that much pudding." Karen said sweetly yet sternly.

Doctor Aki sighed in defeat and easily slipped from Brass's grip. He gave the stunned group a wave good-bye and walked home.

"I can't believe he just left like that." Erika said.

"Me either." Karen said, her mouth hanging open slightly from the shock.

"Yeah, for a guy who loves pudding so much to steal it in broad daylight, to give up like that is pretty incredible."

Erika paused for a second, her mind racing, 'Steal…..Pudding…..Love pudding! Doctor Aki loves pudding so much he stole the world famous recipe from that chief and is going home to make a batch of never-ending pudding, at the same time getting high amounts of cholesterol and not enough nutrients and killing himself!' "BINGO!" Erika shouted, running after Doctor Aki's fading figure, her camera ready, her mind set, she was on a roll!

"Wait up Erika!" Ikki yelled, running to catch up with his best friend.

"Bye guys, have fun!" Karen called after them. When their figures faded from sight, she sighed contentedly. "Those two look so cute together." She whispered to herself.

"Okay Nutranurse, we got some work to do!" Karen said enthusiastically, walking home.

Nutranurse walked beside her medafighter.

"You've got that right!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Erika! Wait up!" Ikki called, slowly catching up with Erika.

"No time Ikki! I'm on a major scoop!" Erika yelled back, but slowing down slightly to let Ikki catch up with her.

"What do you mean?" Ikki asked, his strides now even with Erika's.

"Logic Ikki, think about it! Put these sentences together. Doctor Aki loves pudding. Phantom Renegade steals only rare medals. Phantom Renegade stole a world famous duplicating pudding recipe last night. Got the connection?" Erika glanced over to Ikki. His face said only one word: Confusion.

"Not really." Ikki said glancing back at Erika.

Erika shook her head. 'And I love this boy.'

"Doctor Aki dressed up as the Phantom Renegade in order to steal the pudding recipe so that he could eat pudding forever. Got it now?" Erika asked. Ikki nodded his head.

"Yep, but I still don't get one thing."

"What?"

"Why would Doctor Aki go to all the trouble of dressing up as the Phantom Renegade when he could have probably just bought the recipe."

Erika looked ahead at Doctor Aki, who was completely unaware that he was being followed.

"I don't know, but I intend to find out!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

How was that? Was it so good I should become a writer? Or so horrible I should turn off my computer and dedicate myself to another poor hobby? Review! Review I say!
