Chapter 9- Something for dinner!
"RAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEN!" Choji yelled, dancing around the room, "RAMEN! I WANT RAMEN FOR DINNER! I want it with pork, and butter, with lots of onions!"
"Ramen?" Ino sighed, "Let's just go to Ichiraku for some… I'm too tired to cook now…"
"That's fine with me!" Choji said, "At least I get to eat!"
"Yaaaaaay, ramen!"
The three left the house to go to Ichiraku. Choji was jumping and dancing with excitement while he was singing his "Ramen Song"…
"RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! ALL MINE!"
Ino and Shikamaru walked behind him. Shikamaru was amused by his friend's enthusiasm, while Ino just kept sighing, "Ramen again? Aye, aye, aye…"
"RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! ALL MINE!"
Shikamaru noticed how down in the dumps Ino was, so he tried to tone Choji down.
"Hey, Choji. Could you tone-down the volume a bit? Ino isn't feeling very well, you see…"
"Really? Maybe she caught your LOVE FEVER, Shikamaru!"
"SHUT UP!"
The two quarreled for a while, until they finally reached their destination- Ichiraku ramen place. Choji quickly ran to his seat, followed by Shikamaru and Ino. He rubbed his hands together as he sniffed the 'sweet smell of boiling ramen blocks'. Then, he ordered…
"Excuse me, sir! May I order an extra super large pork-flavored ramen with butter and onions? And maybe add some egg in it!"
"Gotcha! And what might your two adorable friends want?"
Choji looked at Ino and Shikamaru and asked them, "Well? What will it be?"
Shikamaru asked Ino, "What would you like to order?"
Ino sighed and quietly answered him, "I'm not that hungry… I'm not in the mood for ramen. Order without me…"
"Okay, if you insist… I'll have the ramen with egg and vegetables, then! You sure you don't want anything, Ino?"
"…maybe just a glass of water."
"Okay! And one glass of water, please!"
"Got you covered. Just a minute!"
While they were waiting for their orders to be served, Choji suddenly brought out a bag of potato chips. His two other teammates stared at him with curiosity.
"Hey, Choji… Why'd you have to bring those chips with you? Dinner's gonna be served soon!" Ino told him, "You glutton."
Choji looked at her with crumbs around his mouth and answered, "The ramen that's about to be served is the main course, right? I brought these chips for appetizers! And then, later, let's grab some dessert!"
"Unbelievable…" Ino sighed, "So unbelievable."
Shikamaru just giggled beside her and said, "Then in that case, I'd need to save some room in my tiny stomach! Some cake and ice cream do sound nice after eating a hot bowl of ramen! What do you think, Ino?"
"Huh?" Ino replied, "That sounds okay, I guess…"
"Are you sure you're not hungry? If you want, we can share my bowl! I really can't finish that much, you know." Shikamaru asked her.
"Shikamaru!" Choji exclaimed, "You could give the rest to me, if you like!"
"IDIOT! I was asking Ino, not you!"
"Sorry!"
After a few minutes of waiting, the ramen was finally served! Choji was overjoyed.
"ALRIGHT! THIS IS ALL MINE! ITADAKIMASU!"
He gobbled up his bowl. He finished his meal in only a matter of seconds. Shikamaru and Ino stared at him, with their jaws dropping down. The fatass licked the little drops of soup around his lips and belched loudly… "BAAAAAAAARP!"
Shikamaru quietly continued eating his ramen. Ino drank her glass of water. When she was finished, she slowly stood up from her seat and said, "I'm going out for a walk. I'll meet you guys at the bridge, when you're finished eating." Then, she left.
Shikamaru quickly swallowed the noodles that were in his mouth and stood up as well. "You can have the rest, okay?"
"But I thought-
"JUST EAT IT!"
"Okay! Thanks!"
Then, Shikamaru ran outside to catch-up with Ino.
CHOJI: ALRIGGHT! SHIKAMARU'S RAMEN, YOU'RE ALL MINE! YUM!
