Chapter 5: The Evil Television

"That thing is EVILL!!"
"What do you mean 'evil'?"
"That, that freaky looking box!!"
"That box is called a television, smart one," she said sarcastically.

He looked at the T.V. and the images were moving! The images were moving in that box!! "AHHHHH!!!!!! That thing is POSSESSED!!! GET AWAY FROM THAT!!!!!"
"No it's not!!"
"We must save the people who are trapped in there!! Hurry before it gets us too, you know!!" he turned around to see her laughing as if there was no tomorrow. Tears were coming out of her eyes while she was laughing and was holding on to her sides. "Hey!!! What are you laughing about?! HEY!! I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!"
"Oh it's nothing."she said wiping her tears, "It's just that your reaction to the T.V. is very amusing. You're very funny Sano. Also, for your information, people aren't trapped in the T.V. and it won't attack us."
Sano eyed the T.V suspiciously and sighed. "Still I don't trust that THING."
Ranu shrugged and said, "Fine, whatever. The T.V. is harmless. I'll just show the thing on the T.V. anyways, whether you like it or not."
"What are you going to show me?" he looked at her with confusion.
"Oh it's a game," she pointed to the Playstation 2, "it let's you play games."
O.o! "Huh? What is that?" pointing at the Playstation 2.
"It's called the PS2 or Playstation 2. It's a video game system, and it let's you play different games with CDs and." she was cut off by Sano.
"Whoa!! Stop there for a minute!! You lost me a long time ago!! I don't have the slightest clue on what you're saying!"
Ranu sighed, "Oh well, might as well show it to you rather than explaining it." She picked up the remote for the T.V. and changed to channel three. Sano screamed once again. Then, she picked up another remote and turned on the VCR. Poor Sano became very terrified. He was still hiding behind the loveseat mumbling something about the world coming to an end. Ranu just sighed again and shook her head. She turned on the PS2 and set up her game called Dance Dance Revolution Max. Then, she set up the dance pad and stood on it. Sano peeked over the top of the couch and stared at the T.V. She looked at him and sighed, "Well? Are you going to hide behind there and gape at the T.V. or are you going to watch me?"
"Watch you do what?"
"Watch me play this game, silly" she chuckled.
"What is this game? And are you too old to play such childish games?"
"First of all, I'm not 'too old' for anything.*pauses for a second* well, almost anything. Anyways, this is a video game for young adults like you and me."
Sano stood up slowly and eyed the T.V. and looked at her and asked, "What is this game called?"
She turned and smiled at him, "This game is called Dance Dance Revolution Max 2 or for short DDR Max2."
"."
"Sano, just watch and learn."
"Oh, ok. Umm.how does this thing work?" he asked pointing to the dance pad.
"This thing I'm standing on is called a dance pad."
"uhh.you dance on that thing? What kind of dance is this?"
"I don't know. I'm not really dancing; it's more like stepping on the arrows on the dance pad. I have to follow the arrows on the T.V. and step on the corresponding arrows on the dance pad. Sano, are you getting all this?"
"Uh.yeah.I think so.start this thing already!!"
"I will!! There's no need to get all impatient over it!!"
"Feh!! Spare me!!"
"Oh, shut up!!"
"Hurry it up!! I want to see this game!!"
"Patience, my friend, patience." Then, the main menu came up for DDR Max2 and she tapped her right foot on the down arrow and the highlighted word moved down to the training word.
"What you're going to train?" asked Sano.
"Yes, it is the only way for me to get better in this game."
"Uh huh.let's get with it." Ranu showed the game to him for thirty minutes and then she let him play.
"I feel very awkward playing such game. I'm failing really badly."
"It's your first time; you'll eventually get better at it."
"Yeah, right, whatever you say!"
"~sigh~ fine, be that way." After they were done playing DDR, Sano became very hungry.
"Hey, do you have anything to eat?"
"Yeah, I do have food. What do you want to eat?"
"I dunno, what do you have?"
"Well, what do want to eat?"
"I told you that I don't know what I want to eat!!"
"I give up.*sigh*" She walks over to the refrigerator and opens it.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck is that thing?!" He yelled pointing at the refrigerator.
"This big thing? It's called a refrigerator. It keeps food fresher, longer. Hmmm.I just sounded like that those people on those refrigerator commercials. I gotta stop watching T.V., it's starting to scare me.*shudders*"
"What are you rambling about?"
"I was just explaining what this thing was!!" she yelled, pointing at the refrigerator.
"Oh.then, why were you talking about The T.V. and this 'commercials'?"
"Huh? It's nothing.I guess I was voicing my thoughts out loud. ANYWAYS, let's get something to eat, shall we?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda hungry. So.what do you have in there?" he asked; cautiously inching forward towards the refrigerator.
"Hmmm.let's see.I have some left over macaroni and cheese, some pizza from last night, mom's home cooking, pasta, yogurt, and a lot of tofu."
"WAIT!! STOP!! Did you just say tofu?"
"Uh.yes.Why?"
"I would like some tofu!! What else do you have?"
'Hmmm.' Ranu thought, 'I guess I need to cook something Japanese since he is from the Meiji Japan.' Ranu looked inside the door of the refrigerator. "I wonder where Mom put that new bottle of soy sauce. Ah!!! Here it is!!" She pulls out the soy sauce out of the holder on the inside of the door.
"Uh." pokes Ranu on the shoulder, "What are you going to make with the tofu and soy sauce?"
"I'm going to make something for us to eat, silly! But that's part of the ingredients I need."
" O.o!! WHAT?! YOU COOK?!"
"Yes.is that a crime?"
"Uh.no.it's just that you're kinda young to cook for your age."
"I take it that you had a bad experience with a girl's cooking back in Meiji Japan, is it not?"
"Well.you know the girl name Kaoru that I told you about, right?"
"Yes," she nodded for him to go on.
"Well, she's a good fighter, but she needs some help in her cooking."
"I see. Look, Sano, my cooking will be way better than Kaoru's. I think you'll like my cooking!!"
"I hope you're right." ~~**~~**~~ Sorry if I'm boring you guys half to death. I'm having a writer's block for a few days now.I guess I'm running out of ideas. If you have suggestions, feel free to email me at: ninjashinobu8890@yahoo.com I really need some more ideas!! Read and review. Read and review. Read and review. Read and review. PLEASE!!!!
