20. Salmon and potatoes

The kitchen of the Johanssen was a total mess, flour in the floor, eggs in the walls, an enormous pile of dishes decorated the room and the blond boy with football head could smell something burning in the oven.

- Ok Gerald, you weren't overreacting… this is A BIG DISASTER!

- Tell me something that I don't know about, my friend… Arnie you have to save me.

- Ok but I don't know how to cook, what time will she be coming?

- Around… I don't know… maybe in 40 minutes.

- 40 minutes! Gerald! this is impossible!

- Arnold, you're always looking for the positive side in everything… DO IT NOW TOO!

- Ok, relax, why don't you just go for some pizza with Phoebe?

- I can't do it today, it's an important day today. - The brunette pulled the collar of his friend's shirt, totally desperate.

- Her birthday?

- No, I'll make "the question".

- "The question"? What? - The blond freed himself from his friend's grip, who began to whisper.

- Yes, you know… if she… and me..

- Oh, you will ask her if she wants to be your girlfriend?

- Speak lower my friend, Timberly lives here.

- Sorry. Well, we can do it!

- That is the voice that I want to hear!

- But we need some special help.

- Oh that 's the phrase that I don't want to hear.

- Let's do it my pal, we have only 35 minutes! . - He smiled and picked up the phone.


- Ok dumbs, you were preparing dinner.

- Yes. - Answered both trying to don't getting mad.

- And you did it without any organization.

- I'm afraid so. - Arnold said with some shame.

- And now you made a mess that I've to solve in 30 minutes?

- Or less if it's possible.

- You're so stupid! If I help you, what will I win with this?

- Being a nice friend for once in your life…

- Gerald! - His best friend rebuked him.

- Sorry, please Miss Pataki, we're only stupid boys that want to be gentlemen for once and give for Phoebe the best, because she deserve it.

- Wait a minute, Tall Hair Boy… All this is for Phoebe?

- Yes… - He said ashamed.

- He wants to make her "the question"...

- Arnold!

- The question? Finally! You made her wait for so long!

- Ok, I know, but now…. WE DON'T HAVE SO MUCH TIME!

- Ok Geraldo, relax, I can do magic!

- Wow Helga… Do you cook? - He was impressed.

- Sure Arnoldo, I was the Miss Perfection little helper forever. Now, what ingredients do we have?

- Only Salmon and potatoes… I tried to cook pizza but it was a disaster, we only have the ingredients for the anniversary dinner that my mom will be cooking.

- Well they're decent. Ok let 's do it! Geraldo, wash the potatoes and leave them on the table, football head, peel the potatoes and cut it in round slices, make them perfect or you'll do it again.

- Ok! - He smiled and started his work.

- Now, I will prepare some sauce for salmon, when you finish washing the potatoes, start to clean all this mess and decorate the dining room.

- Ok boss!

- Let's do some magic… - The blond girl smiled and for one second she believed that her lover one seen her… but no, maybe she saw wrong.
