When Satoru got home from school, he thinks about his future career. He really wants to be the first autistic Manga-ka so bad! But in order to make his dream job, he must get regular jobs first. He did get a summer job at Starbuck's, but it was only a summer job.

" What to do? What to do?" Satoru said in his thought. He looked up some Manga Studios on his computer, but couldn't find one. Then he also realized that he wanted to be an animator too. Then he finally came up with an idea for his future career/dream job! But he'll have to share it with his friends and Haruhi at school tomorrow during lunch break. The next day, at school, Satoru can't wait to share his idea of his dream job to his friends.

" Hey, Satoru!" greeted Kyon as he walked up towards Satoru with Haruhi. " So, what's up?" Kyon asked. Satoru was glad that Kyon and Haruhi were here.

" Nothing much. Though, I came up with an idea for my dream job!" Satoru smiled. Kyon and Haruhi wants to hear it, but Satoru told him that he can tell them during lunch break. Kyon and Haruhi said okay and then class started. Then, during lunch break, Satoru shared his idea to Haruhi and Kyon. They looked bewildered.

" So you're thinking about opening your own Anime and Manga studio? That's a lot of work...and a lot of money." Haruhi looked concern.

" Yeah, but it's better than getting a job at either a Manga and/or Anime studio!" Satoru said feeling determined. Haruhi and Kyon looked at each other.

" True. And plus, you can hire different people to work with you. But keep in mind, you have to work too." Kyon said making sure that Satoru wasn't gonna have a problem with it. Satoru nodded.

" I know. In fact, when I opened my own studio and hire a bunch of people, I might work too!" Satoru smiled. Kyon and Haruhi cannot argue with that.

" Okay, then it's settled!" said Haruhi. After lunch break was over, class started again. After school, Satoru and his friends were having an important meeting at the library. Koizumi told them what the meeting was all about.

" A cooking contest? About making Ramen?" Kyon looke confused. Koizumi nodded.

" And it's only gonna start in this school next week?" Ichigo asked. Koizumi nodded.

" And they wants the best judge to taste the Ramen!" Koizumi said feeling determined. Satoru and his friends looked at each other.

" Isn't that kinda hard?" said Panzer sweatdropped.

" It maybe hard, but at least we're trying something new this time!" said Koizumi. Satoru's friends looked at each other...and then looked at Satoru. Satoru looked at them.

" What are you guys looking at me for?" Satoru asked. " Are you thinking that I should compete? But I never cooked before!" Satoru said looking nervously.

" Yeah, but it wouldn't hurt giving it a shot. Besides, you need to learn how to cook for yourself! 'Cause ya can't stick to fast food forever." Kyon said.

" Plus, you need to improve your cooking skills first. You can't use a microwave forever." said Nagato. Satoru looked worried.

" Then why don't you let Mikuru do it?" Satoru asked trying to escape from it. But it failed.

" Sorry, Satoru, but I'm sitting this one out. Besides, your friends are right. You need to learn how to cook!" said Mikuru. What a rotten luck! It looks like Satoru can't get out of this.

" Dammit! But I don't know how to cook!" said Satoru in his mind, looking even more worried. Alongside, Koizumi looked at Haruhi.

" Haruhi, would you like to be the judge?" Koizumi said. Haruhi looked at them, looking nervous too.

" M-me!? But what if Satoru's cooking taste horrible?!" Haruhi looking more scared. Kyon comforts Haruhi and Satoru.

" Listen to me, you two. It doesn't hurt to try! Give it a shot!" said Kyon as he smiled, rooting for both Satoru and Haruhi.

" But...But-Oh, alright! I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." Satoru gives in. Kyon looked at Haruhi.

" Oh, why not? But I must warn you, I may not like it!" Haruhi said, also giving in. Kyon was pleased.

" That's the spirit, you two! Knock 'em dead!" said Kyon. Everyone was rooting at Satoru and Haruhi as they were both forced to do it.
