Chapter 8

Rei walked down the street with her purse hanging on her arm. 'I don't think
Mamoru likes instant pancakes, pudding, and Kool aid©, so I'm going to go get some
lessons from someone who knows how to cook, so he'll like what I cook.' She walked up
to the door of the Tendo Dojo and knocked at the door. Kasumi answered the door. "Oh,
hello there!" Rei bowed. "Hello. I'm here to ask the cooking master of this house to give
me lessons! If it's alright with her." Kasumi said "Oh, sure I'd love to tea---" Akane ran
to the door. "If you're looking for cooking lessons, I'll teach you!" Rei smiled. "Oh,
thank you, cooking master!"

Note: For all those people who don't read Ranma ½, Akane is the worst cook in the
world.

Akane brought Rei into her room. "Welcome to Akane's cooking classes! Lets
start by learning how to make something easy... like... CHOCOLATE!" "YAY!" Akane
continued. "Let's sing the chocolate song now!"

Salt, pepper, and marmalade! Dump them in a pot!
That is how you make chocolate!

She did that, and to Rei's surprised, it looked sort of orangish

Raisins, walnuts, and tea bags! Mix them in a bowl!
Watch me make chocolate!

Akane put them in the bowl, and it looked purplish

Bread crumbs, lettuce leaves, corn! Mix them all together... Yum!
That is how you make CHOCOLATE!!!

Rei blinked. "That's how you make chocolate?!" Akane nodded. Rei sighed. "Oh
well, you're the cooking master..." She picked up the box of chocolate and took a bite.
Her eyebrows sprang straight up, and her mouth turned into a pucker face. : "Eww!"
She ran away from the chocolate to the other side of the room. "That's disgusting!!!" She
ran out of the house while Akane examined her recipe. "I was sure I had it right this
time..."

Mean while, while Rei was running away, she bumped into a girl walking in the
other direction. "U... Usagi?!" she gasped. Usagi gasped too, then glared at Rei. "Rei!
Bachiatari subeta! What were you doing last night with my Mamo-chan?!" Rei's
eyebrows went up, and muttered. "Usagi... I've just been through an unimaginable horror.
Please leave me alone."

Usagi raised one eyebrow. A horrible thought came through her head. "Rei... did it
have something to do with.... Mamoru?" She sighed, looked down, and nodded. Usagi
screamed. "What... were you two... doing....?!" Rei shook her head. "I can't tell you."
Usagi frowned. "Were you holding hands? Hugging? Or maybe even....." Rei shook her
head, and blushed a little. "None of that."Usagi frowned again, then got very mad. "Well,
then I'm not going to play dumb anymore. I know your secret! So..." She ran off down the
side walk, and yelled back "I'm not forgiving you, Rei! You bachiatari slut!"Usagi gave
her the finger. "Mamoru will always love me! And that's that!" Rei looked at her as she
left. "Weird... Oh well, better go get my pancake mix and pudding mix and Kool aid©
mix."

When Rei returned it was dinnertime. Mamoru greeted her with a smile. "Hello,
Rei-chan! I made dinner!" She looked over onto the table, where heaping plates of
gourmet steak, sushi, and champagne. "Mamo-chan... I told you I would make lunch... I
mean dinner..." He shrugged. "Well... to tell you the truth... I hate pancakes and pudding
and Kool aid©, so I whipped up some stuff that I might want to eat instead!" Rei was
seriously P.O.-ed right now, so she decided to show him what she learned today. "Guess
what Mamo-chan... I learned how to cook something new today... CHOCOLATE...!" He
smiled naively. "Wow! Sounds great, Rei-chan!" She smiled wickedly. "Ooh... it is..." she
started singing... "Salt, pepper, and marmalade! Dump them in a pot..."

When she was done, Rei picked up the chocolates and handed them to Mamoru.
"Here you go, Mamo-chan! Eat up!" He hungrily scarfed down half the box. : His
mouth went all puckerish, and he screamed out "Aiyaa! My stomach! My stomach!" Rei
laughed silently. "You deserve it, for cooking lunch... I mean dinner... when I said not
to." He managed to stand up. "Rei... chan... Doshite suru ka....?" She frowned. "I just told
you why." Mamoru struggled up, and picked up the box of chocolate. "You.... will....
pay...!!" She back away slowly. "Wait... Mamo-chan... What are you going to do...?"


"AIYAAAAAAA!!!"
