Chapter Seven: Cold Feet on Christmas Day
Everything was really hectic. Lettuce ran out of lettuce and had to run over to the supermarket, and while she was there, she remembered that it was Christmas Eve. She quickly called Mint to take care of the decorations. Mint decided that she didn't want to get the wedding cake anymore, and called Ichigo to do that. That was probably a bad idea.
Ichigo got the phone call, and then had to run around looking for a place to cook in the alter-dimension. Kisshu pointed it out to her. After thirty seconds, the alter-kitchen was pretty much destroyed. Kisshu heard explosions from time to time, but he had to worry himself with Pai.
"Uh…Pai…" he started.
"What? Can't you see I'm busy here?" yelled Pai. The food was all burnt, and he was kneeling in front of a big tombstone labeled, "Here lies the remains of our food".
"You have to eat something! You'll starve!" Kisshu yelled back.
Pai laughed at that. "I won't starve…because I have Deep Blue!"
Kisshu's mouth fell open. "You're going to eat Deep Blue? I didn't know It was edible!"
Just then, there was an explosion from the alter-kitchen. Kisshu gave Pai a puppy-dog look, and whined, "You're the best cook! You have to help Kitten make desserts!"
Pai looked hypnotized. "Desserts…"
"Yes. Like pudding, remember that? And brownies…tiny morsels of chocolaty heaven… Chocolate-chip cookies…Every bite is loaded with yummy chocolate chips…You have the power to make these!" said Kisshu.
Pai was drooling during Kisshu's monologue. "Yes! Yes! I must have these desserts! Show me to the kitchen!"
"You have to make a wedding cake too." Kisshu led Pai to the alter-kitchen. The place was totally wrecked. Ichigo was sitting on top of a table reading a magazine. She looked like she gave up.
"What were you making?" asked Pai cautiously.
"Food." answered Ichigo. She took out a burned 'thing' from the oven. "Doesn't it look delicious?"
Kisshu took it and bit into it. His face turned red and he spit it out. "What is that? It's so spicy! How is that dessert?"
"I was making dessert?" asked Ichigo.
"Out of the way!" said Pai. Ichigo hurriedly jumped off the table. Her and Kisshu saluted Pai.
"Both of you are my cooking assistants." said Pai, pacing in front of the two. "We need to have this done by tomorrow morning. Give me ten pushups!"
Ichigo and Kisshu did the pushups, then saluted Pai again. They were in for a long day….

"What are we making for the wedding?" asked Taruto.
"Barbeque ramen, shrimp ramen, miso ramen, lobster ramen, salmon ramen, lettuce ramen for Pai, potato ramen, lamb chop ramen, meatball ramen, beef ramen, and regular ramen na no da." said Pudding.
"What about drinks?" asked Taruto. "And what about Eclaire?"
"Grape juice, eggnog, banana milkshake, soda, and water na no da." said Pudding.

Mint was taking care of decorations at Pudding's house. Since that was such a stressful job, she brought a lot of tea with her. She called up Shirogane because he has such good taste in decorations, and paid him $50 an hour. Mint sat at a secluded table in Pudding's front yard and drank tea while Shirogane did the work.
Mint put extra sugar in her tea.

Zakuro, meanwhile, was taking care of the seating arrangements, and the tables. She had a truckload of seats and tables dropped off to Pudding's house. Each chair had a beautiful picture depicting two willow trees on every slipcover. The tablecloths were green, in the design of a large leaf.

"Taru-taru! You get started on the invitations na no da!" said Pudding excitedly, pointing to a large list consisting of pretty much everyone in Tokyo. Near the list was a stack of elaborate stationary and a fountain pen accompanied by many different colors of ink.
"Why should I help?" asked Taruto, gazing at the stack warily.
"Because, I have to make the food! Pleaasee, na no da?" asked Pudding, making a puppy dog face.
"No!" said Taruto, turning his head to face the other direction.
"I'll give you caanddy na no da!" said Pudding, waving a candy bar in front of his face.
Taruto tried not to get tempted, and turned completely around. "No!"
"Then I'll just have to put you into pudding na no da! Pudding Ring, Infer" Pudding was interrupted.
"Okay, I'll do it! Just don't put me into Pudding!" said Taruto, walking over to the invitations.
"Thank you, Taru-taru, na no da! You're the best!" Then Pudding got a humongous pot that was twenty times her size and somehow got it outside the house, where there was large cooking fire and a hook on top of it. She hung the pot on the hook, and carted a big wagon that was about half the size of the pot, and dumped in a lot of 'Instant Ramen' packs.
Then, Pudding got a large stick, since she was really strong, and a huge bucket of water. She put the water in, and the large stick was to help her mix.
She had her own special way to make ramen, and it was going to turn out great!

"Are you nervous, Éclaire? I sure am!" said Aoyama, looking at the bonsai plant fondly.
The plant didn't respond. "Don't worry, it will go just fine! You look beautiful by the way." Aoyama continued.
------------------------------------Division Nya--------------------------------------------
"One last thing, Taru-taru! Don't send out invitations to people who have an 'i-u' combination in their names na no da! Like Miu!" said Pudding, in one of her stops back at the house.
"Okay, Pudding." said Taruto, who felt blackmailed into helping Pudding. He crossed off a bunch of names on the list.
Heicha came downstairs, and said, "Do you need any help, Oneechan?"
"Yup, na no da! Can you help me carry some water outside, na no da?"
"Sure, oneechan na no da!" said Heicha.

Everything was almost set up.
Kisshu, Ichigo, and Pai came to drop off the dessert and cake at Pudding's house. Then Ichigo panicked because it was Christmas Eve, and dragged Kisshu over to the mall.
Pai listened in on their conversation and ran to the mall too.
Taruto finished the invitations, and Pudding finished all the ramen. They went to the mall too.
Lettuce finished the salad and had to go to the mall to buy presents.
Shirogane was irritated because of Mint's lack of work, but he didn't procrastinate and already had the presents wrapped and ready.
Mint was ready too.
Akasaka was also done with presents. He was making a special dish for the wedding and for Christmas the next day.
Zakuro had her presents ready as well. She was a star, she wouldn't forget anything like that!

(author's note: This is for my friend, who wanted to be in here! Her name is a bit changed here)
Chiuna felt left out when all her neighbors got invitations to a wedding and Christmas event. The wedding was between human and plant, and she wasn't even invited! She snatched an invitation from her little sister, and read it:
Dear Erinu,
You are cordially invited to Aoyama Masaya and Eclaire Sequoia's
Wedding which will take place tomorrow,
Which is the same day as Christmas.
Please bring in Christmas presents and Wedding presents.
Note: Do not bring anyone with an i-u combination in their names.
For example, anyone like Chiuna. They
Can only be invited if they are a Mew
Which is impossible because there are only five of them.
Shirogane Ryou only shot five of them with those
DNA thingies.
"What? I'm not invited because of some stupid rule! I can only come if I'm a Mew, huh? Well guess what, then I'll become a Mew!" said Chiuna angrily.
"Um…Chiuna…You're not a Mew…" said Erinu.
"Be quiet Erinu! I am a Mew now! Just watch!" Chiuna had watched the Mews come on TV, which was mostly by accident.
Chiuna ran to her room and came back with a cool looking outfit. She had fake fangs on, and a black dress that had printed flames all over it. Her shoes were pointy and looked like they were made out of snake-skin.
"What are you supposed to be?" asked Erinu, disgusted.
"I'm Mew Chiuna! With dragon DNA!" said Chiuna excitedly.
"Dragons don't exist." said Erinu.
"Yes they do! Go away Erinu!" said Chiuna angrily.
"First give me my invitation back!" retorted Erinu.
"Only when you say that dragons exist!" said Chiuna.
"Hold on…" said Erinu. "How are you going to fight? Let's say they believe you…"
"Wait one second!" said Chiuna. She rushed back into her room. When she came back, she was holding a rubber axe and a bag of confetti.
"Ribbon Chiuna…Dragon Rhapsody!" Chiuna threw confetti in the air for a dramatic effect and threw the rubber axe at Erinu.
"I'm not even going to reply to that…" said Erinu coolly, as she snatched her invitation back from Chiuna and walked out of the room.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" yelled Chiuna.

The next morning…
"Pudding Onee-chan, do you need anymore water?" asked Heicha, carrying a large bucket of water.
"No, Heicha-chan, na no da! Be careful na no da!" said Pudding.
"Yeah, Heicha…" said Taruto, who was still there, and woke up early with Pudding to have some breakfast.
"I-I can't na no da!" said Heicha, alarmed. The bucket fell, and water went all over the floor.
Since people have to take off their shoes before entering a Japanese house (author's note: I'm pretty sure I got that right) everyone got their feet wet and cold when they entered.
The floor was soaked all over the house.
------------------------------------Division Nya----------------------------------------------
Guests started to pour in. Most of them just came in, dropped their wedding present to Aoyama and Éclaire, and angrily left because their feet were cold.
Soon, only Erinu, Chiuna, Mint, Zakuro, Aoyama, Eclaire, Pai, Taruto, Pudding, Lettuce, Ichigo, Kisshu, Akasaka, Heicha, Pudding's brothers, and Shirogane were left.
Pudding did the honors of marrying Aoyama to Eclaire, and than they had a wedding lunch, since it was lunch by the time they finished.
Everyone dug into the ramen.
Author's note: Sorry, that was a bit rushed. The next chapter will be the opening of presents and the questioning of Chiuna. Stay tuned!
