A week later, it was time for the cooking contest. This challenge focuses on making ramen.
" Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! Welcome to the 45th annual cooking contest! Today, our only challenge in this contest is making ramen!" said the announcer. Satoru is nervous, but is ready to compete. " Let's say hello to our only judge, the girl who used to be the leader of the SOS Brigade...Haruhi Suzumiya!" said the announcer as he showed Haruhi as a judge to the audience. The audience clapped.
" Aw, this is gonna be good!" said the boy as he chuckled.
" This'll definitely give Haruhi a taste of her own medicine since she kept being a bitch all the time! Maybe if one of the contestant made an awful cooking, then maybe this'll learn her lesson of not to be bossy and bitchy towards us!" the second boy said as they both laughed. Haruhi was afraid of this. Satoru will do whatever it takes to win.
" And now, let's get started! On the left side, the autistic boy who loves drawing anime and stuff, Satoru Tanaka!" The announcer said. Satoru waved his hand, looking a bit nervous. Those two boys also made fun of him.
" Satoru? Competing? Aw, this is gonna be WAY better!" the first boy said.
" Yeah, I never liked him. He's diagnosed with autism and he does is draw anime and stuff! What a freak!" the second boy laughed.
" I hope he chokes this time!" the first boy laughed. Satoru was also afraid this might happen too.
" Okay, Satoru. You can do this! Remember what your mom taught ya." Satoru said in his mind.
" Ready! Set! Cook!" the announcer said as the contest began. They started cooking ramen. When time was up, both ramens were made! Now it's up to Haruhi to taste. Haruhi tasted the 2nd contestant's ramen. She wasn't too keen on it. Then she tasted Satoru's...and Satoru's turned out good! Now she must make a decision. And in the end...SATORU WINS! Everyone cheered! The two boys who made fun of them were shocked.
" Your ramen turned out really good, Satoru!" Haruhi said. Satoru was pleased. Satoru didn't blew it at all!
" See? If you just improve your cooking skills more, you'll cook for yourself and loose weight quickly!" Kyon smiled. Satoru blushed.
" He's right, man. You can't stick to fast food forever." said Ichigo.
" I guess cooking wasn't so bad." Satoru said feeling determined. Satoru's parents walked up to him, feeling proud of him.
" Can't believe you won, Satoru! Great job!" Satoru's mom smiled. Satoru's dad was even more proud of him!
" Now you know why we need to cook for ourselves!" Satoru's dad said. Then Satoru's mom looked at Kyon.
" Oh! By the way, Kyon. I wanted to talk to you about something. Next time, don't force him to do this. When he said he doesn't to do it, he doesn't want to do it!" Satoru's mom said sternly. Kyon felt guilty since he did force Satoru to compete.
" You're right. I'm sorry. I guess I always force people into doing something else." Kyon said. The Haruhi's mom went up to him.
" And don't force my daughter to do judging too! 'Cause I saw those two boys making fun of both my daughter and Satoru too." Haruhi's mom said, feeling concern. Kyon and his friends looked at those two boys that made fun of them.
" I'll handle this." said Ichigo.
" Me too." said Nagato. They walked to those boys to talk some sense into them.
" HEY, YOU BASTARD! WHAT'S THE IDEA OF MAKING FUN OF THEM!? JUST BECAUSE YOU MADE FUN OF THEM DOESN'T MEAN WE CANNOT KICK YOUR ASS!" said Ichigo angrily. The boys looked scared at Ichigo and also saw Nagato making a fist.
" W-we're sorry! We won't do it!" The first boy said, looking scared.
" Yes! We won't! JUST DON'T KILL US!" The second boy said, looking also scared.
" Good! Don't let it happen again! If you do, your asses are grasses! Got that?" said Ichigo sternly. The boys looked even more scared.
" YES! NOW DON'T KILL US!" The boys said.
" Good! NOW GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" Ichigo roared. Then the boys ran away, feeling scared.
" See? This is why we don't trust bullies. They're a bunch a jerks!" Satoru said.
" Agreed." said Haruhi. Then they went home. Satoru puts his trophy on the bookself and gearing up for next year. 'Cause next year is Satoru's 3rd year in High school!
