The smell of warm pancakes filled the room in which Yasuha was sleeping in. He had stayed over and slept in Taka's living room, but had only slept for about 5 hours. He got up, drool leaking from his mouth. "Uh... what's that smell?" he muttered. "Oh, you're awake!" exclaimed Taka. "I'm making some pancakes. Can you look through my cabinets for some maple syrup?" "Oh, sure."
As Yasuha looked through the cabinets for the bottle of syrup, he cleared his throat and said, "Uh... did you know that uh... I make music?" "Ah, me too!" exclaimed Taka as he flipped a pancake, "Well, I used to be in a band. I don't really do that anymore." "Oh, that's cool. Um, you've actually probably heard my music if you've been to Inkopolis Square. I'm Dj Real Sole, and they play my song 'New You' all the time there. I have like, dozens of other songs, but they only ever play that one."
"Oh, you're that guy. Your music's pretty good, keep up the good work." "Ah, thank you!" said Yasuha joyfully. Taka was done cooking up his pancakes, and he gave one to Yasuha. Yasuha finally found the maple syrup, and he handed it over to Taka. Taka poured the syrup all over the pancake, nearly soaking it, and got ready to chow down. However, the moment he put it in his mouth, the burning hot syrup nearly melted his tongue.
"Gah- what the hell!? This shit's melting hot!" His head turned rapidly around the room, "Yasuha, get down! We're under attack!" Yasuha stared at Taka, dumbfounded. "...What? Getting attacked? I don't understand." "That maple syrup was BURNING hot! Shit- who's doing this!? This is definitely an attack on us!" Yasuha started to wonder whether or not Taka had lost his sanity. That is until, he looked down at the table and saw the syrup melting through the table.
"Oh, christ! That syrup is abnormally hot." Taka yelled, "Yasuha, get down! This is definitely a music related ability!" "Music related?" thought Yasuha to himself. Suddenly, something flew in from outside the window. It was a glass bottle of maple syrup! "Yasuha, duck!" yelled Taka. The container broke on impact, splattering the melting hot syrup all over the place. Luckily for Taka and Yasuha, it didn't hurt them.
"That window! The syrup came from that window!" exclaimed Taka, jumping through the window the syrup came from. Yasuha followed, and they both looked around for the culprit. Eventually, Yasuha saw Big Moe, sitting down on a wheelchair. "Him! It must be him!" Taka looked over, and said, "You!" He got his ability, Salad Days, ready. However, he looked around and saw that tons of people were watching the mayhem going on. "Shit- I can't kill this cripple in front of an audience!" he told Yasuha.
"Big Moe's comin'!" yelled the cripple, "This new wheelchair makes me a hundred times faster!" Taka began running away, with Yasuha following right behind. The two kept dodging the barrage of maple syrup, until a bottle eventually hit Yasuha's left wrist. "Gah- shit! F-Fuck, it hit my wrist!" Taka exclaimed, "Push through it! We're almost done!"
