Delicious
Chapter 34

Narration: I can't even peel an apple before, but now I can cook a lotof delicious dishes. And I think making them is fun. Make a dish that people say "delicious" is my new dream!

Kazuomi: Hello everyone.
Watanabe: Hi, why are you so early?
Kazuomi: Because today is the last episode of "Delicious Time"... Even though I just started this, but still... What are these apples for?
Watanabe: That's one of the ingredients for the show today.
Kazuomi: Oh yeah, where is Ringo?
Watanabe: She said she's going to the airport, to see Mahito.
Kazuomi: Really?
Watanabe: What is she thinking? Did she decide to go with Mahito to America?
Kazuomi: I don't know.

View of the airport with Mahito in front.
Ringo: Mahito.
Mahito: I thought you wouldn't come.

Flashback
Ringo: I have...decided! I decided not to go with you.
Mahito: Ringo, you...
Ringo: You are right, becoming an idol is my dream. But, now I know that I don't really want be an idol or actress. Being the host of "Delicious Time" for three years made me really like to cook! I hope one day I can really become a genius cook girl, be the host of my own show. It would be nice if that could come true. That's my dream, so... sorry.

Present
Mahito: Asking you to go with me made you worry, right?
Ringo: Worried, but happy. Since I really hate to think, this was hard to decide. But afterward, I finally realize that life always needs decisions. I have to decide myself, because only I know which way I want to go.
Mahito: Can I ask a question? Kazuomi and I, who would you chose? Ringo blushes.
Mahito: Please tell me.
She cries...
Mahito: The one you like is really Kazuomi, right?
Ringo: How did...
Mahito: Because when you refused my kiss...
Ringo: Sorry... I really like you before, but now…
Mahito: Forget it, don't say any more…
Narration: Mahito, I like you, really! You are my favorite, most honored idol. I feel really happy to know you! But, I don't have for you, the kind of feeling between a boy and girl.
Mahito: Kazuomi really care for you. Ringo, forget me, all you have to do is face your true feelings.
Ringo: Mahito, you are too nice! I did that to you, and you...
Mahito: Smile please... The first time I saw you, your beautiful smile got me. So don't cry...
Mahito narration: And because of your smile, I have confidence to face the obstacles in my life.
Narration: Mahito, It's so nice to know you! Thank you... Good bye, Mahito...
Mahito: ( on the plane) Hope you'll be happy. ( He's crying) Ringo sees the plane flies away, she starts to walk home and sees... Ayana and her dad.

Ayana's dad: Ayana, you not serious! Don't leave your dad behind and go to America!
Ringo: What?
Ayana: (Dramatically) Dad, please forgive me, Hollywood is waiting for me, I have to go.
Ayana's dad: Ayana!!
Ayana: With Ringo not going, there is an extra place, the Acting School is waiting for me! And Mahito, if we see each other everyday, he'll probably fall in love with me. But that doesn't mean I'll give up on Kazuomi.(She dreams big)
Narration: So Ayana is going to America in my place... She scared me, but have a lot of confidants, maybe she can be a good actress. Ayana has decided too. And now I have to go. (View of Kazuomi read the script.)
Ringo: Sorry! I'm late

Kazuomi smiles as he sees Ringo.
Kazuomi: Ringo! I thought you won't come.
Ringo: Sorry!
Kazuomi: (Face darkens) ... ...
Ringo: Today is the last episode of Delicious Time... Did you remember? The first time Delicious Time appears on the screen, we used apple too.
Kazuomi: Yeah...
Ringo: You started to teach me cook... until now, it's three years. You taught me everything I know, thank you!
Kazuomi Narration: Thank you?
Kazuomi: What? It's like saying good bye...
Ringo: But today is the last...
Kazuomi: IT'S LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE! So you really did decide to go with Mahito... The director said...
Ringo hugs him.
Ringo: I won't go... I won't go with Mahito... Because I... (She looks at Kazuomi) Ringo: Sorry! I just realized, I...I...I like Kazuomi! (Kazuomi is looking at her in disbelief.)
Ringo: The one always at my side is Kazuomi. But I never realized your feelings... Do you still like me?
Kazuomi: Of course! (hey, it's his dream coming true!)(He hugs Ringo, then he leans forward for a kiss, and... their parents appear on the scene!)
All three of them: Ringo, Kazuomi! We came to cheer for you guys. (They suddenly realize the situation.)
All: Ah... looks like we came at a bad time...(Ringo's dad had his mouth wide open)
Kazuomi narration: Oh man! I thought several years' work is finally worth something, but now... (Ringo looks at him, grabs his shirt, kisses him. All their parents looked in disbelief.)(I think Ringo's dad is not taking this too well...)
Kazuomi: Ah! (He is all red)
Ringo: It's going to start. This is the last one. Kazumi is too stunned to talk right now
Ringo: Thank you for watching every Saturday night at six, channel 8's Delicious Time! The ingredients for today is apple, we'll teach everyone a new dessert! Here Kazuomi, all you have to do is sit here.
Kazuomi: What?
Ringo: Because today's dish, is especially for you! (She cuts the apple in half and starts to peel it.)
Kazuomi: You've improved. The way you peeled before was too dangerous, now is better.
Ringo: Practice makes perfect! Then...did you know they say that apple is the symbol for love? Eat an apple dessert with the one you love, your love for each other will be more.
Ringo: The dessert we taught you is the last one of Delicious Time. Even though we don't want it to end, there is an end for everything. I, Ringo Nonohara, will try to be a real genius cooking girl!
Kazuomi: Even though I'm a real genius cooking guy, I still have to learn more! I hope one day we can be the host of a show again.
Ringo: That day will come soon! Thanks everyone for three years of support!
Watanabe: Okay, let's celebrate!
Narration: What's the most delicious dish in the world? Everyone gets a piece of the dessert.
Narration: That is make a dish for the one you love, then pray to God that your feeling for each other will last forever! Ringo asks Kazuomi how the dessert taste, they smile at each other and...
Both: DELICIOUS!
The End
