Cooking With Mako-chan

Written by Roku firefly

Mako-chan: *appears on TV screen * Hello, I'm Makoto, aka Mako-chan. Welcome to Cooking with Mako-chan, the show that lets characters of various series compete against each other in making the daily recipe! Let's meet today's cooks.

Mako's voice: From Kakumei Shoujo Utena we have Anthy…

Anthy: *smiles sweetly *

Mv: …Nanami…

Nanami: I’m gonna win!

Mv: …and of course, Utena.

Utena: *grins *

Mv: From Fushigi Yuugi we have Tamahome, Yuuki Miaka, and Tasuki.

Tamahome: *holds up two fingers like a peace sign * Hey.

Miaka: *waves * Hi!

Tasuki: *looks bored *

Mv: Here we have Duo Maxwell and Chang Wufei, from the ever-popular Gundam Wing series.

Duo: *cheesy grin *

Wufei: *arms folded *

Mako: From Dragonball Z, we have…nobody! *leans a bit closer to screen * Sorry DBZ fans, but FireFly doesn't watch that show. *stands back * And here is our special guest, one who likes to "pretend" that she is part of the Gundam Wing series, and will be working with their team…it's the infamous Spyrill! *Mako holds her arm out to her left to present her. The camera moves a bit in that direction and you see Spyrill behind her own counter. *

Spyrill: *holds both hands up next to her face in peace signs * Hotaruuuuu!!! *grins *

Mako: Any questions before we begin?

Miaka: YES!!!! * raises hand high * What are we going to do with our food when the winning series has been announced?

Mako: Take it home and eat it, of course!

Miaka: YAAAAAAY!!!!!

Mako: That's all the questions? *camera closeup * Well then, let's start cooking! Today's recipe will be very simple: vegetable soup. So, let's get started!

Spyrill: *walks over to the GW counter with her cutting board and all, and squeezes in between Duo and Wufei *

Duo: *sweatbeads * What are you doing?

Spyrill: No way I'm gonna let Wufei get too close to my Duo!

Wufei: Baka onna no ko. Go back to where you came from!

Spyrill: *enraged * ONNA NO KO?!! Why you little…. *ready to strike Wufei with her knife *

Duo: *restrains her * Hey!! Take it easy! *takes her knife from her *

Spyrill: *glares at Wufei * I'm gonna whoop your scrawny ass, Chinese boy!

Mako: *sweatbeads * Please, none of that! This show is supposed to be suitable for all ages! *sigh * Anyway, the first thing we'll do is peel the potatoes.

Anthy: *can't seem to get the skin off of the potato *

Utena: Do you need help, Anthy? Here, let me show you…. *demonstrates on her own potato *

Anthy: Oh! That looks like a much easier way. Thank you, Utena. *begins to peel perfectly *

Nanami: *whines * This is soooo boring! Can't someone else peel my potatoes?

Tasuki: *carelessly peels away and cuts himself * Ow! Damn it!

Mako: Oh no! *puts a bandaid on him *

Tasuki: *glares to the side *

Miaka: *gets her knife stuck halfway through the potato while unsuccesfully trying to peel it * I'm no good at cooking food! I'm best when I'm eating it!

Tamahome: Seeing you with a knife is a scary sight. Here, I'll peel yours for you.

Miaka: *watches Tama work * Wow! You must have had to do a lot of cooking for your siblings and sick father when you took care of them! Is that why you peel so perfectly?

Spyrill: I dunno about any of you, but I really don't mind this kinda stuff.

Wufei: That's because you're a woman. You're supposed to do these things.

Spyrill: *glares at Wufei *

Duo: Spyrill, you peel potatoes like your friend Ryoko.

Spyrill: *shrugs * So what?

Duo: *notices Wufei * Wufei over there makes peeling potatoes look like an art.

Wufei: *using his own knife, peels quickly and perfectly *

Duo: *looks at his own poorly peeled potatoes, sweatbeads *

Mako: Once you've finished peeling, start chopping up your veggies!

Wufei: *makes like a ritual, with his vegetables laid neatly on the cutting board, then makes huge arm movements and cuts at lightning speed, providing perfectly chopped pieces. *

Duo and Spyrill: *glare at Wufei * Show off!!! *each begin to work at their own pace *

Mako: Spyrill, I think your pieces are a little big. Chop them smaller.

Spyrill: Really? *looks at cutting board full of veggie chunks * Oh…. *chops, or rather, whacks the chunks with her knife and sends pieces flying out *

Duo: Spyrill, your food is ending up on my cutting board!

Spyrill: *giggles, sweatbeads * Gomen!

Wufei: *repeats his cutting board ritual *

Spyrill: *watches Wufei * Have you ever seen that cooking show called Yan Can Cook?

Mako: When everyone's done, you'll put everything in your pots, filled with water, add you r own spices, and let them boil.

Tasuki: I can't wait long enough for it to boil! *takes out his fan and flames his pot, along with Tamahome by "accident" *

Tama: *frozen in mid-step and burnt to a crisp *

Tasuki: Woops! Heheheh…. *grins mischievously *

Tama: *growls at him * You idiot!!! You did that on PURPOSE!!!!

Tasuki: So what if I did…"Little Ghost"?

Tama: *chases Tasuki with his cutting knife *

Miaka: Stop it you guys! Tasuki why do you always pick fights with my Tamahomeeeeee!!!

Nanami: I'm going to make sure that Anthy is embarrased! *pulls out a handful of seaweed from her bag *

***************

Mako: Now that everyone's soup has finished cooking, I will be the taste tester! First let's check out Anthy's! *opens lid * What's this?!

Miaka: It's full of blackish stuff!

Nanami: Oh my gosh! It's seaweed! Anthy eats seaweed! Isn't that DISGUSTING?!!

Voice 1: Miss Himemia! I've misjudged you!

Voice 2: I'm so shocked!

Anthy: *stands teary-eyed with her head down *

***************

I call it Operation Anthy is a Weirdo Because She Eats Seaweed! *sneaks it into Anthy's soup when no one is looking *

Mako: Now that everyone's soup has finished cooking, I will be the taste tester! First let's check out Utena's.

Utena: You know what? I was so busy helping Anthy that I didn't get a chance to finish mine!

Mako: Um…you know that this disqualifies your group, right?

Utena: That's ok, as long as Anthy has something good to take home tonight.

Mako: Ok, well, let's try Anthy's then. *opens lid * What's this?!

Miaka: It's full of blackish stuff!

Nanami: Oh my gosh! It's seaweed! Anthy eats seaweed! Isn't that DISGUSTING?!!

Wufei: I'm sorry you think that way. Seaweed is in fact very healthy.

Nanami: What?!

Tama: That's true!

Mako: What a good idea! I'll have to add that to my recipe!

Nanami: Huh??? W-whatt's going on here?! D-d-don't you think that's WEIRD?!!

Spyrill: Not at all! I admire her uniqueness!

Utena: I didn't realize you added that, Anthy. Everyone seems to love that idea. You're so smart!

Anthy: *confused * Oh, well, thank you all, but actually I didn't-

Nanami: *wails * My plan backfired again!!!!

Mako: Anyway, let's try Nanami's. *sips, makes a face * ~ This is VERY bland. ~ Ummm, let's move on! This must be Miaka's. *lifts lid * Wow…it looks unexpectedly delicious!

Miaka: That's because my Tamahome helped me!

Mako: *taste * Um, Miaka, did you turn on the burner?

Miaka: Oops.

Mako: Well, let's try Tamahome's….hey, this looks pretty good. It doesn't taste bad either. And Tasuki's is…overcooked? How did that happen? Didn't you cook yours for the same amount of time as everyone else?

Miaka: He applied a little "direct heat".

Mako: Er…I'm sorry, but one overcooked soup and one raw soup equals disqualification. Let's see how our Gundam Wing team did. Here's Duo's soup.

Duo: Mine's the best!

Mako: *taste * Pretty good… ~ for an unexperienced guy, maybe. ~ And Wufei's is…*sip *... pretty good! *sip again * Hey! I didn't know Wufei could cook!

Spyrill: It really brings out your feminine side, eh, Wufei?

Wufei: *glare at her *

Mako: And last but not least, Spyrill's…*sip - gag - face turns red * Damn! What did you DO?! It's soooo spicy!!! *choke *

Spyrill: I added a few habanero peppers. Hispanics like spicy food, even half-hispanics like me!

Mako: Well, *cough * I'm sorry but *choke * I'll have to disqualify you due to a *choke gag * hazardous recipe. *cough * That conclude's today's show *gag * I'm sorry to say nobody won this time *cough choke * join me again next time for *gag * Cooking With *choke * Mako-chan *cough * can I have a drink? *choke *
