Chapter 5

Ramen, Pie, and a Bruise the Size of Texas

When dawn came Aisha was the first to wake up. After a long time of thinking she got bored. So she up without waking Akari or Naruto and crept towards what looked like a bag of pebbles. She dumped them on the floor and started to make an elaborate design. She only just finished 1 part of her 3 part design when she heard someone wake up. Naruto came into the room.

"That's really cool you know." Naruto said truthfully. "Your bruise is really big." He added.

"Thanks." Aisha said sarcasm dripping from her voice like venom.

"Oh yeah. There's a pie eating contest tomorrow." Naruto yawned.

"PIE!" Aisha screamed. That definitely woke Akari.

"Wha? Wazzat?" Akari asked sleepily.

"I just told Aisha-san that there's a pie eating contest tomorrow. I swear." Naruto said fearfully.

"Don't worry. All she's gonna do is sign up and starve herself." Akari chuckled.

"Oh okay." Naruto said. "After breakfast we can get you signed up for pie." He added.

Aisha dutifully kept her word and denied breakfast. After about 3 attempts to get her to eat, the last one ended up when Aisha threatened to give Naruto a bruise the size of Russia and for him to wake up the next morning without a toe, he shut up. After breakfast-which was ramen by the way-Naruto, Aisha, and Akari got to the place where you sign up for the pie eating contest. Naruto had to meet the rest of Team 7. Aisha and Akari tagged along because they were bored.

"Hi Saseku, Sakaru!" Greeted Akari purposely getting their names wrong.

"It's Sasuke and Sakura!" Sakura said angrily. Akari just waved it off.

"Hi!...umm…Kakashi?" Aisha said questionably.

"Yup." Kakashi replied.

The Next Day…

Aisha woke up at dawn again and decided to continue her elaborate design. This time she finished before the others got up.

Meanwhile…

"Get your head in the game Choji." Shino said.

"I heard there's new compitition this year." Kiba added.

Shino and Kiba were with the annual Konoha pie eating contest's defending champion.

Anyways…

"C'mon! Let's go! We're gonna be late!" Aisha hurried the two kids.

"Okay! Just calm down!" Akari shouted.

"Welcome to the 5th annual Konoha Pie Eating Contest!" the announcer said. "In the line up our defending champion; Choji!" An applause came from the audience. The announcer named the contestants. "And a last minute sign up; Aisha!" The announcer said. The audience clapped politely, but only two people were actually cheering, Akari and Naruto. Then two people came and placed the pies (those mini ones not the huge ones.) in front of the contestants. Aisha put on a pair of goggles and got ready.

"3…2…1…GO!" The announcer shouted.

Aisha shoved her face into the pie, instead of using a fork like everybody else. Now since Aisha had starved herself she had the upper hand. Plus she had an uber fast metabolism.

A little while later…

Now even Choji was slowing down. But Aisha kept going at the same pace as when she started. Shoving her face in pie after pie after pie. All of a sudden;

"We have a winner! Aisha!" the announcer announced.

The crown went wild when they heard that someone beat the defending champion. Then someone made Aisha stand up, and placed a medal over her head. And to everyone's amusement, she had little bits of pie stuck all over her face.

"Alright!" Aisha yelled. Jumping up and down. She ran over to Naruto and Akari and gave them high fives.

"Look at that it's lunch time." Akari noticed.

"I bet you're too full to eat some ramen huh." Naruto joked.

"What are you talking about!" Aisha demanded. "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" She joked.

"Well we're lucky there aren't any horses or it could get a little bloody." Akari said trying to keep a straight face. And failed.

"A little?" Naruto said disbelievingly.

Then the 3 friends cracked up and laughed all the way to the ramen shop.
