"And now live from Doma Castle, it is time for Sizzle, Bake, Stir! Here is your host, Cyan"
Behind the camera Edgar the director stares with disbelief as there is no chef. "Guys, where is he?"
Celes looks up from her clipboard. "Well, I haven't seen him."
Sabin shakes his head. "Me neither"
Edgar snaps his fingers. "Some one quick, take over. We're live!"
Setzer wakes up from his nap. "You gotta be kiddin'" he says more to himself.
Edgar looks to his brother for support. "Nu-uh, I gotta be in charge of sound. Um… testing," he taps the mike with his thick finger, "check, one, two… checking. Sabin grins back at him.
Edgar shakes his head. "Good one, Sabin. So that leaves…" he looks to Celes.
"I can't cook." She says simply.
"You're a woman and you can't cook?" Edgar shrieks. "It should be in your nature."
She throws him a look. "Need I remind you, I wasn't made naturally."
Edgar nods. "Smooth. So I guess that only leaves you, Setzer."
"What!"
"Take it away!" Edgar sits back in his chair and queues the camera.
Setzer shuffles up to the counter and stares into the screen. "Well, folks, I'd like to say today under any other circumstance I would give a wonderful culinary treat with all of my skill and expertise. However, desperate times call for desperate measures."
He reaches under the counter and pulls out a plastic bag. Celes mutters under breath.
"Boy, are we desperate." She gets a look at the bag and spits out her coffee. "RAMEN?"
"Hey, it's an age old dish that deserves some respect. Would you like me to continue or leave?"
Celes looks to Edgar who throws his hands up in defeat. "Roll with it."
"I guess we really don't have a choice." She replies.
Setzer grins. "Now, first we uh, remove the wrapping by the creased section. This will ensure that any popcorn ramen doesn't fly out and stick in your eye. Next, we shall set some water to boil."
He pours some water into a pot and sets it on the flame. "We just wait for that to come to a boil. So...uh...ramen. It's a popular dish served all over the globe. It is a common noodle made of simple water, egg, and flour, but that is the beauty of the dish. In its simplicity, there is room for creativity! So with that in mind, let us move to the side and cut up some vegetables."
He starts to work on the veggies and Edgar is pleased with the outcome of the show. "Great! This may actually work" he whispers.
"I like my ramen spicy and colorful so Gau…"
The wild boy comes up and dumps heaps of ingredients on the counter. "Gau got lots of color. Gau has peppers, carrot, juju bees…"
Setzer just grabs it all. "Juju-what? Oh just give it all here. Now chop 'em up. Add some greens, (sniff) hmm smells good, and some of this… Now folks, find your own taste. Ramen can be manipulated for anyone's needs be it meaty or vegetarian. OK, water is boiling lets add some ramen. I'm making some for everyone!"
He pumps his fist in the air and everyone rejoices. (They haven't been eating big meals to pay for the damages done by Bahamut.)
"Hey make mine with kabobs." Sabin shouts into the mike.
"Ok, just add your seasoning at this time."
Edgar puts a hand to his forehead. "I can't believe we may actually finish this show with no problems. Wait, what's that sound?"
There's a distant rumbling from the set. Gau gets up and runs. "Uh oh I'm outta here."
Setzer leans in close to the boiling pot. "What, is it boiling over? No, Ifrit you're too close to the pot!" Setzer runs away from the scorching pot.
"NOW WHAT'S GOING ON!"
The pot suddenly explodes and the lid flies off. SPLASH!
Locke suddenly pops out of the liquid. "Yaiiiieeee! Hot! Hot! Hot!"
"Oh, my goodness! Locke!" Celes gasped with relief as her boyfriend hops out.
"My ramen!" Setzer cries.
"Man, that's nasty! He wasted the food." Sabin grumbles.
Edgar throws his cup down and slams his fists on the armrests. "No no no no no no!"
Gau just laughs from afar.
Locke takes in his surroundings. "This isn't the courtroom. Judge Gestal?" (See Final Fantasy Law for more info.)
"Well that's the last time I help out this show! How impolite!" Setzer storms off.
Sabin calls out to him. "But you never do anything here anyways."
"Cut! That's it, this was crap! Get him off the set! Get off the air! Where's Cyan?" Edgar storms off.
Cyan comes onto the stage as the lights are dimming. "They sent me to the wrong stage." He looks around. "What happened here? Ramen?"
End.
Yahoo! That was fun. I hope you enjoyed that. Short and pointless. Peachy!
