...Popcorn...
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time."
Tohru quietly stepped inside the dojo after Kyo. Kyo had left something behind there earlier that week, and when he mentioned stopping by to get it, Tohru offered to go with him. She was looking forward to seeing Shishou-san and the others at the dojo again.
"Pfft, he ain't gonna care if we're here," Kyo said to reassure her. For some reason though, the dojo seemed empty and Shishou was no where in sight. And then, a bright blue flash went off down the hall, followed by a shout and some smoke, drifting out into the hall before dissapating.
"Oh man, I can't believe he's trying to cook again!" Kyo groaned, immediately taking off towards the kitchen. A worried Tohru followed.
Kyo charged in. "Shishou--!"
"Oh, Kyo, Tohru-san, what a pleasant surprise! Ah, don't worry about this," he nodded to the smoking mircowave, which now had a big hole melted through its door. "It's all right. I stopped it before anything caught on fire."
"Shishou, what the hell did you do?" Kyo wanted to know.
"I was watching a movie on TV, so I decided to make popcorn to go with it," he replied with a smile. Kyo's mouth dropped to the floor.
"Popcorn? Mircowave popcorn? How can you possibly mess up that!"
"Hey now. I can do popcorn just fine, mister," Shishou said, pretending to be offended. "That wasn't a problem," he continued cheerfully. "I had to get up and do something real quick, but when I came back, the popcorn was cold."
He walked over and retrived his popcorn to show them.
"So I put it back in the mircowave to reheat it," he explained. Kyo nearly fell over.
"IN A METAL BOWL?"
"Oh," said Shishou, turning to ask Tohru, since she seemed to be the culinary expert, "Is that what I did wrong...?"
--Fin--
A/N: It's kinda embarrassing to admit, but this was based off a personal experience. :) I think that's why I like Shishou-san, because I can definitely relate to him when it comes to cooking. I hoped you all learned a valuable lesson from this, people! Never, ever put anything metal (including aluminin foil) in a mircowave! It will spark and blow and mess up the mircowave, and then your parents will be very mad because they have to go out and buy a new one.
Go-go Shishou-san!
