(downtown Metrolex) M: (opens apartment door) Well, this is it. What do you think? J: (carrying a box) Nice! M: Yeah. A little paint, some furnature, maybe a banzai in the corner, and this place will feel like home. A: Coming through! (enters carrying the rest of Makoto’s stuff) J: That looks heavy. You’re sure you’ve got it, sweetie? A: *glare* “shink!” J: Right, stupid question. M: Just set that down right here, Aisha. A: (sets down the boxes) M: (rumages through the boxes) Hmm..... where is it? O: (flies in carrying a teapot) Zoo? M: Ozz! You read my mind! J: Yeah, most likely. M: (takes the teapot) A’right. You three can go ahead and have a look around. I’ll make us some tea. J: Oh, Makoto, you don’t have t-... M: What? I finally get my own place and I can’t serve my guests? Sit down, please. It’ll just take a minute. (walks to the kitchen) 10 minutes later... All: KAMPAI! A: (sip) Mmm. This is good. M: I can give you some tea leaves to take home. Justin knows how to make it. J: Right. That’s one of the first things she taught me back at the inn. M: One of my best students. I’m really proud of him. A: 0_0 ? Makoto, I think that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about me. M: Eh. I just needed one more good deed in order to get into heaven. All: *laugh* J: Man. I still can’t believe Makoto’s not going to be living with us anymore. She may be a pain in the ass at times, but..... I’m actually gonna miss her.............. Pshh! Stop being so dramactic, boy! She’s only moving downtown. It’s not like she’s going back to Japan. Hey! Why isn’t she going back to Japan? Hey, Makoto? M: Nani? J: Why aren’t you just going back to Japan? M: *sigh* J: (teasing) You love me that much. Admit it. M: Get over yourself! To be honest,..... I really want to open up my own restaurant here in Metrolex. A: Oh! J: Honto? (Really?) M: Hai. J: Well, that shouldn’t be a problem for you. You’re a great cook. I’m sure you’ll be a big success. M: Yeah, yeah, I don’t need your pity. J: Makoto, I was being serious. M: Oh.... uh........ arigato, Justin-san. J: Zen zen. (Not at all.) Besides, I needed one more good deed too. M: Wha... oh... *laughs* All: *laugh* J: Hmm.... “Jinnia’s Japanese Grill.” Sounds nice. Psst. Hey, I'm gonna have some "Truth or Dare" in the next post. Any suggestions?
