Anya and her friends were sitting in the dining area of Louise's home as the pair were waiting for what's to come.

"Good Evening, my wonderful friends. It's quite wonderful for everyone to join me on this fine night and I know that everyone is gonna enjoy this fun little dish that we're gonna create" Louise had spoken out to her guests as everyone nodded their heads in anticipation of the event as Anya began to speak to Charlotte.

"I wonder what type of dish we're gonna eat? I hope the dish is good" Anya had spoken to her friend while Charlotte nodded her head in agreement.

"Indeed, I just wish more of our friends such as Mai could join us but it seems they're busy with schoolwork and other stuff but at least Emma and Nancy is able to join us" Charlotte had spoken back to her friend before turning her direction back to Louise so she can hear the next set of directions as Louise began to explain what was going on.

"So, we're gonna eat this special Japanese dish called Yaminabe and I've discovered it while reading and it's apparently a hot pot dish where you add whatever your heart desires! And that's what we're gonna do tonight and the best part? You are allowed to take some home if we don't finish it" Louise had explained to the four girls as this surprised them since it was the first time they'd heard about such a dish.

"Yaminabe? Sounds quite interesting and I'm willing to try if nobody doesn't put anything disgusting in it but overall, it seems quite fun" Anya had spoken out while Emma nodded her head in agreement as she began to chime into the conversation as well.

"I agree with Anya, this seems quite new to me but I'm willing to try and of course, I'll eat anything that my girlfriend cooks as well so I can't really complain" Emma had spoken out while referring to Charlotte as this made Louise smile very warmly as she clapped her hands together very excitedly.

"Wonderful! I'll get started on cooking and once I'm done then I'll explain what to do next!" Louise had spoken back before getting up from her chair to head towards the kitchen; however, a mischievous smile appeared on Louise's face as she pulled out some bell peppers.

"I'll spice things up and that will surely make things fun!" Louise had spoken out to herself in a mischievous tone of voice as this was heard by Calvin who happened to be in the vicinity since he was getting a glass of water.

"Sis, Don't tell me you're up to your old tricks again? You know those bell peppers are spicy and that Charlotte hates spicy food" Calvin had spoken to his sister in a rather suspicious tone of voice as this made Louise giggle in a rather cutsy yet mischievous manner.

"Oh come on! I'm just having fun, that's all and you are invited to join me as well and the best part? Anya is here as well" Louise had spoken back to her brother in a sing-songy voice as this made Calvin blush madly.

"I-I do not have a crush on her and I-I think I'm gonna crash for the night!" Calvin had spoken back while struggling to say anything else as he quickly retreated back upstairs to his room which made Louise giggle as she made her way to the kitchen and prepared the Yaminabe.

"Hmm, what should I add? I know Anya and the others are gonna add some food but I kinda want to surprise them as well.." Louise had spoken out to herself as she began to cook the Yaminabe while also adding plenty of random food such as bell peppers, pork, potatoes, and other such random food as even Louise herself didn't know what she was cooking but she still managed to prepare a dish.

*7:45pm*

Twenty minutes had passed and Louise's Yaminabe was finally finished as the dish didn't look as tasty yet it was considered to be okay in Louise's book.

"Finally, it's ready! I'm sure this will spice things up for Anya and her friends! I just know it will!"" Louise had spoken out rather excitedly as she carefully lifted the heavy pot and began to carry it to the main dining area where Anya and the others were at.

"Friends! It's ready! I've already added the random ingredients so you guys won't have to worry about that so consider this to be my very personal Yaminabe" Louise had spoken out to her friends while entering the dining room to place the pot down on the table which brought smiles to the faces of Anya and her friends.

"This looks rather splendid but wasn't the point of Yaminabe us placing random food into the pot, if I may ask?" Nancy had asked Louise while observing the pot while waiting for a response from her friend.

"Yes but I've decided to change things at the last minute by adding my own things but it's still Yaminabe" Louise had answered back as this eased Nancy's concern while Anya, Charlotte, and Emma stared at the pot in amazement since this was the first time they was gonna try something different.

"It smells rather strong but I can't wait to try it! I hope the taste lives up to the smell" Charlotte had spoken out in an excited tone of voice while Anya and Emma nodded their heads in agreement while Louise passed out napkins, forks, and plates which were already set on the table as it was finally time to try out the dish.

"Alright, it's time to dig in!" Louise had spoken out in an excited tone of voice as the young girl saw Anya and Charlotte quickly digging into the Yaminabe with great interest as Charlotte was the first one to fully taste it; however, the spice that was added began to kick in.

"Oh my gosh! It's spicy and did you add chocolate as well?!" Charlotte had spoken out in surprise while feeling her mouth burning as she quickly drank her glass of water as this also surprised everyone else in the room

. "W-wait? You added chocolate and spices in the pot as well?! You are quite interesting indeed" Anya had spoken out while Louise giggled to herself since she was pleased to see her results.

"Correct, my main flavor for Yaminabe is chocolate filled with various ingredients such as spices, pork, and cake! I hope everyone enjoys it!" Louise had spoken out in a rather cheerful voice while Emma and Nancy were hesitant to eat the so-called Yaminabe; however, both girls tried it anyway and had conflicting opinions.

"It's quite strong, the spices mixed with the chocolate and pork doesn't seem to blend well but I'm having fun regardless to be honest" Emma had spoken out before taking a sip of water to ease the spice while Nancy was a little more blunt but still nice.

"To me, it doesn't really taste good but you tried your best and that's what matters" Nancy had spoken out while getting used to the rather strange taste as this made Louise smile.

"Well then! How about we do the same thing this upcoming weekend, how does that sound?!" Louise had spoken out in joy while Anya and Charlotte had quickly shaken their heads.

"Actually, I was thinking of doing something else but I genuinely had fun with this project so I can't complain but it was just way too spicy" Anya had spoken out while still feeling the spicy as Charlotte nodded her head in agreement.

"She's right and my body doesn't really take all that spice as well as you might think.." Charlotte had chimed into the conversation as this made Louise smile once more.

"Oh really? Well, I'm glad that everything enjoyed my fun little Yamiabe and I wish Calvin could have joined us but I think he's still embarrassed that I've told him that Anya was gonna be here.." Louise had spoken out to Anya and the others while unknown to them, Calvin was watching the whole time from the stairs as he had watched the whole incident.

"My sister can be a pain in the neck at times…" Calvin had uttered out while putting his hand over his face in shame as he had to watch his friends getting themselves into Louise's odd games; however, Calvin knew it was clear that Anya and her friends enjoyed Louise's company and that what truly mattered most in Calvin's eyes as in the end, he smiled to himself before finally retreating to his room for the rest of the night.
