Chapter Seven Numbuh Four's POV

Eel? And Octopus balls?! Now that's just gross! Do Japanese people really eat this stuff?! I mean, c'mon! Do they even KNOW what balls are?!

The waitress walked away. I noticed Kuki was already chowing down on her food. I looked at mine and I could've sworn that eel moved!

"Aren't you going to eat?" Kuki asked me.

"Uh...yeah." I poked my chopsticks in it and tried to pick it up, but it slipped off. I looked at Kuki, and tried to mimic her how she was using her chopsticks. I tried to get it in place, but one of the sticks fell into my so-called food.

I picked it up and wiped it off. I looked at Kuki who was amused at my abilities off using chopsticks. I tried again and I ended up breaking one of them. She laughed at me. Ugh, this is really embarrassing. I picked up a spare set, which was still stuck together, and looked like one large chopstick.

I tried pulling them apart and it broke, but unevenly. One chopstick was larger than the other. There was no other set, so I had to make do. I don't see why can't Japanese people use just regular silverware. I tried picking up the Octopus Balls and it fell and rolled of my plate and onto the floor. Kuki was really laughing now.

"Do you need help?" She asked me.

"No, I got it." I started to get irritated. But then I got an idea. I took the bigger chopstick and stuck it into the ball and it stayed. Unlike the eel, which I don't know if I was going to eat it or not.

I put it up to my nose and smelt it. I kinda smelt like old cabbage with a hint of spices and lemon. It didn't smell bad, but it didn't smell good either. I put my tongue on it. I sorta taste like...chicken. Really! I took a bite. It didn't taste half bad. Its needs some thing spicy added to it. I can't believe I'm eating balls! This is an all time low.

"How is it?" Kuki asked

"Uh...it taste like, chicken. But in needs to be more spicier."

"Oh, well then, here you go." She had given me some sauce that was green. "Its called Wasabi Sauce." She told me.

"Oh...okay." I dipped the ball into the sauce and took a bite. I took a while for it to start kicking in, but who-boy! I felt like all my nostril hairs just caught on fire and it shriveled up onto dust. I coughed and choked and drank some of the water that they had given us.

"GOD!" I coughed. "Are you trying to kill me?!"

She laughed. "Well, you're the one who wanted a bit more spice."

"Yeah, but I don't want my eyes turning into Niagara Falls!" I told her.

She laughed again. "You're so funny, Wally!"

I blushed. "Thanks..."

"You know, Wally, I have something to tell you." She whispered.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"I....I...." She looked into my eyes. "I don't know why we're here."

"What?" I gave her a confused look. "We're here 'cause it's your birthday."

"Yeah, I know, but, why did I want to go on a date with you?"

"'Cause I'm.....cute?" I smiled at her.

She blinked. Twice. "No...it's that...something inside told me it would be...wonderful to go out with you."

Me? I can't believe I'm hearing this! I felt the same way! "Why?" I asked her.

"I don't know. Maybe its because....I love you."

Meanwhile.....back with Numbuh One and Numbuh Five

"Numbuh One...you love me?" Numbuh Five asked him.

He nodded shyly.

She smiled. "I love ya too." She ran up to him and hugged him.

He laughed. "That's one of the few times you haven't talked in third person." That's all for Chapter Seven. Please Review, put flames if needed. I have a new story out called 'Sex Ed Class', it's really stupid. It's only meant for laughs, no plot or nothing. Check it out, say if you like it. I'm going to put more up like that.
