Sano: Oi, Jou-chan! Whatcha doing?
Karou: I'm adding up all of our expenses. I'm in charge of funding for the site.
Sano: So what's wrong with it?
Karou: Look at all this! Characters fighting amoungst themselves, hundreds of killed SOLDIERs, broken walls, mysterious burn marks on the floor, blood all over the carpet, resturaunt space... all of this has to be fixed you know!
Sano: So?
Karou: So it costs a lot of money, stupid.
Sano: We're in debt?
Karou: Not quite, but at this rate we won't have enough for Thanksgiving dinner.
Sano: Thanks.. what?
Yahiko: I heard about that. It's some American holiday, right?
Karou: Yes. They give thanks for everything they have with a huge feast!
Sano: Feast?
Karou: (Fifteen tons of Gundanium? I didn't order this.)
Yahiko: That's my kind of Holiday!
Karou: I just told you, we can't afford it. And even if we could, I don't have time to cook it.
Sano: Just leave it to me!
Karou: YOU'RE going to BUY all that stuff? How are you going to pay for it? And when you have it, how are you going to cook it?
Sano: I said I'd take care of it!
Yahiko: Well, at least it'll taste better then anything the racoon girl cooked.
*CRACK!*
*Karou picks up the list of expsenses*
Karou: Broken Bokkens... five thousand yen. Check.
Yahiko: (Owwwwwwwww.....)
Sano: Don't worry. I can handle it.
*Sano heads out the door. Yahiko stumbles after him.*
Karou: (Carrot cake? Frozen carrots? Gundam amunition?! Where is all this stuff coming from?!)
****
Quatre: ....
Sano: So you see, we really could use some money... it's just a little bit and I'll pay you back really soon...
Yahiko: This is handling it?
Sano: Shut up.
Quatre: (Why me? Why why why why.....)
Sano: So what do you say?
Quatre: (Just smile and nod....) Sure! We were planning on our own celebration, so we can just invite everyone to come along!
Sano: Thanks! See Yahiko, I told you he'd be understanding!
Quatre: (I hate my life.)
****
*Quatre and Heero finish unloading all the grocery bags from Sandrock*
Quatre: Here you go! I got all the materials you need!
Sano: Thanks! I'll be using this kitchen for a while.
Quatre: You're... cooking this...?
Sano: You're joking right? I got some friends of mine to do the actual cooking.
Quatre: (But the only people he would have met would be in the "B" bloodtype room... uh oh.)
*Heero peers into the kitchen*
Duo: Hi Heero! Care to join us?
Heero: I'm going back to the supermarket.
*Heero leaves*
Quatre: That's probably not a bad idea...
****
Quatre: Heero... that's just a tad bit excessive...
*The room is nearly overflowing with food. At least three turkeys are visible.*
Quatre: (I knew I shouldn't have left my credit card with Heero.)
Heero: The mission is to split in to task forces. Each task force will cook one dinner. That way, no matter what catastrophy occurs, at least one dinner will survive. Mission: Acepted.
*Heero starts grabbing items*
Sally: So what happens if some horrible catastrophe doesn't befall us?
Megumi: We'll be able to feed Sano for once.
*Huge explosion rocks the area*
Megumi: But considering who's cooking next door, that's not an issue.
Quatre: There has to be someone with some sense in there.
Red XIII: If there is, I pity their soul.

WuFei: I don't know how I managed to be talked into this.
Duo: Lighten up! Help me with the gravy.
WuFei: And by Maxwell, of all people.
Duo: Stir this, will you?
WuFei: You're setting the stovetop at over 800 degrees.
Duo: Sure! If we cook it at twice the heat it says to on the instruction packet, it'll get done twice as fast! How's the mashed potatoes coming?
Cid(FFVII): It's coming too %&#@$! slow, that's how it's @$&#%* coming!
Gau: Gau cook! Gau cook!
Cid(FFVII): Get the @$%^* out of my way!
Zell: Look what I found! Hotdogs!
Selphie: Woohoo! Hotdogs!
Sano: Oi! Don't eat those yet! They're for the dinner!
Yahiko: This plugs in here... that's not right...Sano, help me with this blender.
Sano: GAAAAAAAH! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!
*Laguna plugs the blender into the wall*
Laguna: Hey hey hey! Am I brillant or what?
Duo: Looks like everyone's fine! Hey WuFei, that brandy's for cooking, not drinking... WuFei, it's not healthy to chug the bottle all at once!
*****
*Explosions rock the area. Food is flying from the entrance of the kitchen.*
Okita: Aku cranberrys! Augh!
Billy: I think we have bigger things to worry about then spitting cranberries.
*Soujiro tilts his head to the side as a bag of yams fly past his ear.*
Soujiro: I think we've been officially declared a disaster zone.
Eriol: Well, what are our options? We can't get another kitchen.
Yukito: We either cook, call a proffesional, or give up and run away.
Quatre: Sasami's in one of the other kitchens.
Yukito: Professional is out, then.
Quatre: I think the best plan of action is to get everything done as quickly as possible and moved to a safer area.
Okita Clones: Right.
*Okita and Soujiro pull out their swords and start dicing vegetables left and right.*
Quatre: Hand me those tongs.
*All the clones get to work.*
Quatre: Chopped veggies, coming your way!
Soujiro: Instant Heavenly catch!
*Soujiro catches the vegetables in a pan and tosses it towards Eriol*
Okita: No! My cranberries!
Yukito: Use the spoon!
*Okita catapults the cranberries off the spoon and into a bowl in the fridge.*
Billy: Better duck!
Eriol: Pull!
*The vegetables are hoisted into the air. Billy opens fire with a salad shooter.*
Quatre: Gotcha! Into the fridge!
Okita: That's everything!
Yukito: Now we have to wait... three hours...
*The ground shakes from another explosion.*
Eriol: We hold the fort until then, I guess. I think I might have a strong enough ward to stop the near misses.
Quatre: And here I forgot my army helmet...

Kenshin: Guys, shouldn't we get started?
Squall: Whatever.
Cloud: I'm only here 'till I get paid.
Trowa: .....
Kenshin: Oro?
Rei: I don't trust you men.
Hotaru: I really am no good at cooking. But I could open cans for you if you want.
Ryoko: I am outta here. Oh Tenchi?
Kenshin: Guys...
*Trowa gets up and starts cooking*
Trowa: Heat this for me, will you?
Rei: Fine. Burning Mandela!
*The pan Trowa's holding ignites... along with Trowa's shirt sleeve.*
Trowa: ...you mind?
Rei: Oops!
Cloud: (That's what he gets for wearing that silly turtleneck.)
Setzer: (You're wearing one too.)
Squall: (This is obviously the anime version of Rei.)
Cloud: (I don't think either of them can aim that attack.)
Hotaru: Are you Ok, Trowa? I could heal that.
Trowa: Don't worry. The fire didn't get through the gundanium lining.
Squall: So that's how you people survive.
Kenshin: Orooooooo.....(I hope everyone else is doing better then us...)

Edgar: Carefully stir the eggs, Sabin, don't beat them to death!
Sabin: I AM carefully stirring the eggs, big bro.
Edgar: We might as well put them in a blender with the way you're mangaling them.
Makoto: Usagi, stop eating all my rice balls!
Usagi: Aww, but they're so good! Besides I've only eaten, um, ten...
Edgar: (Wow, she eats more then YOU...)
Sabin: (That didn't stop you from making a pass at her... by the way, those rosethorns looked like they hurt.)
Edgar: (Shut up.)
Aerith: Are any of you guys going to help?
Hiko: A genius like me doesn't need to cook.
Saitoh: Ahou ga.
Siefer: You're kidding me.
Tou-ya: Hey mummy man. Heat this for me.
Shishio: Only the weak cook.
Tou-ya: Fine. Could someone else heat this for me?
Hikaru: I will! Fire Arrow!
Tou-ya: Yaaaa!
Hikaru: Oops... Sorry!(Whoa, deja vu!)
Tou-ya: Never mind, I'll ask the brat. His flame attack can be aimed better.
Li: What did you call me?
Sasami: Now here's the stuffing, Mihoshi. Don't drop it!
Mihoshi: What are you talking about? Of course not!
Usagi: Ahhh! There's a mouse in here!
Shishio: A MOUSE? You really are pathetic.
Usagi: (I was just surprised.)
Barret: I'll get rid o' that #%^*& foo' rodent!
*Barret opens fire*
Edgar: Gaaaah! Watch where you're shooting!
Mihoshi: Eeeeee!
*The stuffing goes flying*
Sasami: Oh no! My stuffing!
Sabin: I got it! BLITZ!
Edgar: Okay, now the stuffing's been sent through a wall.
Sabin: Eh heh...
Sasami: (Sigh) Mako-chan, can you get some more stuffing from the store? Why don't you go too, Misao-chan. That was the last batch.
Makoto: Sure.
Misao A: Okay.
*****
Heero watches the stuffing fly by.
Heero: Hn.
*Kiyone gets nailed by the stuffing*
Kiyone: MIHOSHI!
Mihoshi: I'm sorry, Kiyone!
Misao M: (How'd she know?)
Relena: (Lots of experience.)
Umi: MAKONA! Get out of the pie crust!
Fuu: Hello, Mr. Makona! Hikaru is through that large hole in the wall.
Makona: Puu!
*Makona jumps through the hole.*
Sakura: Hoeeeeee!?!?!
Tomoyo: I had no idea cooking could be so dangerous.
Sakura: Hoe.
Quistes: Yuffie? Aren't you supposed to be making our stuffing?
Yuffie: I would be, but Cyan's in a death duel with the microwave.
Cyan: (Thou dishonarable foe! Fight me fair and square!)
Yuffie: (Maybe my fire Materia...)
Yuffie: Hmmm... something smells really good!
Quistes: Maybe the stuffing that flew by?
Yuffie: No, I don't think it's stuffing...
*Both turn to look at Vincent pulling his quiche out of the oven.*
Vincent: ....what.
Quistes & Yuffie: Nothing!
Vincent: ....
"EEEEEEEEEEK!"
*Vincent, Yuffie, and Quistes whirl around to look*
Misao: Eeaaaaaah! The bread's got meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Relena: HELP!
Aoshi: I told you that was too much yeast.
Heero: Aknowledged. Now how do we stop it?
Aoshi: Katien Kembou!
*Aoshi's kodachi sink into the dough.*
Aoshi: This is a problem.
*Heero yanks out a gun*
Heero: Omae wo korosu!
*long pause*
Vincent: Well?
Heero: I forgot I can't shoot anyone after I threaten them...
Misao & Relena: We're doomed.
Vincent: You people are useless.
*Vincent, Quistes, and Kiyone all pull out guns and shoot the bread*
Misao: Oof...
Relena: That was easy.
Heero: What the heck was in that?
Aoshi: What's the label say?
*Vincent pickes up the packet*
Vincent: Seppuku Inc... Shinma approved. By any chance was there a girl in a black school uniform watching this particular bag?
Aoshi: Now that I think about it...
Relena: (Where did you get that?)
Heero: (Where I always shop. Kamikaze markets.)
Vincent: Well, it would be best to clean this up. Could you get a mop?
Aoshi: Yeah.
*Heero, Aoshi, Misao, and Relena all head off*
Relena: You'd think cooking would be a requirement for most soldiers.
Misao: And considering our base is a resturaunt....
Heero & Aoshi: *sweatdrop
******
Makoto: Ok, I think the nearest market that's open is that way.
Tsunami: Excuse me, Sasami asked me to take you to the Akabeko.
Misao A: Ara? Who are you, miss?
Tsunami: I'm Tsunami, Sasami's ship.
Makoto + Misao A: What?
Tsunami: It's a long story, please just come this way. With luck we may be able to get a meal together in time.
Makoto: Ok, I guess... But I'd like an explination of this while we go there.
Misao A: (Sasami never told me about owning a ship that transforms into a girl...)
Rumiya: *desperatly pretending to be a bird*

The Okita Clones are huddled behind a makeshift barracade. Food is flying past the door at an alarming rate.*
Eriol: I feel a great disturbance in the force... as if a thousand dinners had cried out... and then were silenced.
Quatre: The pain, the pain!
Yukito: It's alright... only thirty minutes to go...
Washu: Aha!
Okita: No! Not now!
Billy: Run!
*Soujiro bolts for the door, then skids to a halt.*
Soujiro: I don't think we should go out there!
Washu: There's no escape!
Eriol: We're trapped! I guess we have to fight!
Okita: Agh! Cranberry attack!
*Washu gets pelted by chilled cranberry sauce*
Washu: Blasphemer! Eat flour, infidel!
*The entire room is caked in flour as food starts flying everywhere.*

Sano: We're out of lasagna noodles.
Laguna: That's okay! These soba noodles will work just as well!
Duo: Wufei? You okay, man?
Wufei: Course I'm okay! I love you guys!
Zell: Hey, has anyone seen the red wine? The recipe says I need some.
Duo: Wufei?
Wufei: You make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside!
Yahiko: The bottle's empty.
Zell: Wasn't that a new bottle? Oh forget it. How about champange? Any of that?
Wufei: I feel like singing!
Yahiko: That one's empty too...
Zell: Well, is there anything alcoholic over there?
Yahiko: Brandy, white wine, both empty... sake! Dang,that's empty too.
Sano: Stop staring at me! I didn't touch it!
Yahiko: Yeah yeah, sure... what's "Everclear?"
Zell: Let me see that!
Duo: Hey guys? I think something's wrong with Wufei.
Yahiko: Who cares? This one's nicer.
Zell: All of these bottles are empty! What's up with that?
Wufei: Sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and everything that's wonderful...
Yahiko: (Wow, he ain't half bad!)
Zell: No wine, nothing! What am I supposed to use for this recipe?
Duo: Aw, just use some grape juice. Practically the same thing!
*Sally ducks in*
Sally: Hey can I borrow a cup of... woah!
*Sally dodges a lump of flying mashed potatoes*
Sally: Is this a bad time?
Wufei: Hey Sally! *hic* You're right, women are better then men anyday!
Sally: Nevermind... I'll go ask Quatre...
Wufei: Hey, if you see Treize, tell him that he wins!*hic*
****
Sally: Wrath of ye gods! That was horrifying... at least Quatre should be normal.
*Sally knocks on the door*
Sally: Hey Quatre? Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but can I borrow a cup of... ack!
*Sally reels as she gets hit by a scoop of strawberry ice cream*
Quatre: Oops! I'm sorry, Sally!
Okita: Don't talk, keep firing! Feel the wrath of my chocolate syrup, aku onna!
Washu: Hah! Tapioca pudding blast!
*Duo walks out with Wufei leaning on him*
Duo: Hey Sally, is something the matt... what the?!
*Duo and WuFei get coated with brown sugar*
WuFei: Injus-*hic*-tice...
Quatre: (Oh no, here it comes...)
Duo: FOOD FIGHT!
Zell: Food fight?
Selphie: Woohoo! Food fight!
Washu: Ack!
*Everyone starts throwing food. A 20lb bag of sugar gets tossed into another kitchen*
Yuffie: Aaaah! You revived the killer bread!
Umi: It's getting away!
Vincent: ...!
Fuu: This might be a problem for everyone else.
Okita Clones: RUN AWAY!
Washu: It's getting into my lab!
Selphie: I'll stop it! Shiva!
Washu: No! There's delicate equipment in th-
*Huge explosion*
****
Soujiro: That was mortifying.
Quatre: Good thing we are all fast runners.
Okita: I hope Saitoh-san got out before he got frosted.
Eriol: (Like us.)
Yukito: (Hm... tasty.)
*Misao, Relena, Heero, & Aoshi walk up*
Billy: Hello. Nice to see you didn't get caught in the explosion.
Heero: I'm glad to see you're safe.
Misao M: (Which one is which?)
Relena: (I think Quatre's the one with chocolate in his hair...)
Aoshi: Anyone else get out?
Soujiro: Just those three over there.
Okita: They didn't get out. They were there all the time.
Quatre: Making them smarter then us.
Noin: Wow. It took them two hours and fourty-four minutes to blow up the entire kitchen area.
Zechs: You lose. Pay up.
Sephiroth: #%&*^@!
Relena: (They're smarter?)
Quatre: (Hey, they aren't the one's that are candy coated.)
Misao M: So what are we supposed to do now?
Yukito: We could go salvage what we can of the food...
****
Wufei: It's the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine...
Selphie: Woohoo! Killer bread and explosions!
Washu: Interesting... mix killer bread, sugar, ice, and high explosives and you get-
Vincent: A bunch of sugar coated anime characters?
Washu: Besides that.
Vincent: A totally obliterated cooking area?
Washu: And that.
Fuu: Well, it appears that no one was hurt.
Seifer: Dammit! How is this possible!? I'm coated!
Saitoh: Tch! Three stains. This is sickening. And my Shinsengumi uniform was in there too. I have an urge to kill someone; where's Usui?
Hiko: It's going to take weeks to clean this cape properly! Weeks!
Aerith: (Except their pride.)
Duo: Hey, some of this food is pretty good!
Karou: You all do realize you have to pay for this, don't you? SANO?!
Sano: I'll take care of it...
****
Yukito: Yeah, that was a stupid idea.
Quatre: (I have the sudden urge to run away.)
Misao M: (I can guess why.)
Relena: So much for cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
Tifa: Hey, everyone! Come over to the Akabeko. A bunch of us got together and actually got a meal cooked!
Quatre: Good! I already had reservations.
Heero: Sounds good. Let's go.
Okita: What about everyone else?
Quatre: They'll take care of it.
****
*Everyone one way or another got into the Akebeko, where a feast had been prepared...(Tsunami, Sasami and Makoto. Nothing else need be said.)*
Duo: So what are you thankful for?
Quatre: I'm thankful we all got together today.
Squall: (He would say something soppy like that)
Kiyone: I'm thankful we're all still alive.
Sasami: I'm thankful the meal turned out OK.
Dorothy: I'm thankful I was at fencing lessons and didn't get frosted.
Soujiro: I'm thankful the frosting got out of my hair. Otherwise only Tou-ya'd be able to tell me and Yuki apart.
Hiko: I'm thankful frosting doesn't stain.
Saitoh: I'm thankful Usui was nearby.
Misao M: (I'm thankful I didn't have to sit near Saitoh...)
Sephiroth: I'm thankful I got a part AND survived.
Cloud: I'm thankful I brought my sword.
Tae: I'm sorry, but you can't kill people in this resturant.
Cloud: But he eats all the cranberry sauce!
Sephiroth: Like you're any better with the stuffing!
Yahiko: Hey, where's Sano?
Megumi: I'm thankful he's arriving late, so there'll still be food for the rest of us.
Kenshin: I'm thankful I got away, de gozaru.

*Flashback*
Sano: What do you mean?!
Trowa: Group consensus. You make the mess, you clean it up.
Sano: What?! You made this mess too!
Trowa: The mop is in the closet.
Sano: You can't do this! Get back here!
*Sano tries to grab Trowa, but Trowa triple-axle flips out of reach*
Sano: Oi! Oi! You can't just leave me here! Kenshin, you're staying to help!
Kenshin: Oroooooooo...
