[Firox]

*Jyo stretches up too*



*first off, as soon as Akira arrives, greets me, and playfully catches my wagging tail, nibbling and gently pulling it for about 5 minutes, as I giggle and try to wag it away, letting her have some fun*
“nice to see again... these are....”
*I introduces Akira to everyone in the den.... except for Jyo of course, the one getting pranked, as Jyo supposed to not know*
“this here is ?, the playful, caring fully grown Vee, loves to throw food and win challenges”
*Akira pats the ?'s head tuft – by the way it was the first time that I was being honest*


*Firox greets Akira, and helps her get set up, bringing over the electric stoves, and helping to 'air fry' the tempura (Japanese version of fried chicken, fish, or veggies), even helps with cooking other side items, and Vay following Akira's directions cooks the rice, mixes sauces to have it all ready.... before she joins up for the prank*

[?]

*greetse them n relaxes while looking around*

[Firox]

"come on over ?, let's prank kitty"



“Jyo!! Jyo!! come on over!! we have a big fish meal for you!! open up!!”


*? can giggle at Jyo's funny reaction,  first off, eyes open up super excited from hearing 'fish', kitty quickly rushes over, giving off the silly 'Mreow' next to ?'s ears, in front of me – even going as far as doing four run around all, giving of the silly 'mreow' calls*


*I put the bowl on a tray so Jyo can open it up.... Jyo make the sad kitty eyes when it's open iand see.... a can of cat food, and tap the top of can, give it a silly sad sniffs, even the happy active long tail, comes to a complete stop, not even moving*


“waaad... dis?. Wherez da fishy?.... I.... I... nuu smell of seafoodz?”
I giggle: “the label says it has seafood in it, see? On the label”
*it does say Seafood and Scallops flavored, even has pictures of the seafood on the label*


*Joseph, Elise, Robyn, Linette, Sherrie, and myself laughing loud, as kitty start moving the can around – the others giggle a bit, not laugh loud*


*Jyo looks over at ?, also giggling,  making the sad eyes at them, for ? not to worry, as i whispered in their ears* “not to worry, it's part of the prank, feel free to giggle, and I suggest next to cover your nose”


*I tell Jyo, passing them another covered bowl*
“no worries sweetie kitty, here is the fish I promised”
*as Jyo start panting, not like a kitty – more like a begging puppy, once more that excitement turns to 'horror'*


*I open the bowl excitedly – to make everyone giggle, as soon as kitty open it, that strong smell!!..... Jyo set the bowl down, take a very big leap backwards, landing on the edge of a couch cushion missed it a bit, so kitty slide down*


*once more all giggle, with paws covering their noses except ffor msyelf, I like it*


*what was inside? - Natto, fermented soy beans that give off a strong smell, kind of a 'rotten veggie' or 'durian'-like smell to it*


*? can easily tell, kitty cover nose with both paws, as I bring it over, using some spicy mustard, Kewpie-brand mayonnaise, and soy sauce mixes it together before taking a big bite of it... yes I love Natto*
“How Can Ya Nom That!!”
*Jyo say still covering nose*

[?]

*giggles and shake head while watching* 

[Firox]

*? can probably tell, the six Vees for now (Mia, Leah, Tony, Dennis, Kevin, and Matt) are already with both Akira and Firox as they prepare their meals – sitting in their couch area, turn to watch the last of the prank before their dad/Zoran turns on a 'family-style' comedy movie called 'Snow Dogs'*


*to end the prank – I make sure everyone is giggling... even tries to use my tail to move Jyo's paws away, brings the natto closer.... at the moment Espeon paws are harder than steel type, not moving at all*


*I nod at Elise, as she comes over, I letsup, with some laughter.... Elise tells me*
“open your ears and hear us”
*Elise holds Jyo's ears... all others say at same time, hopefully ? Joins in*
“Happy Prank Day Jyo!!”


*I set the Natto down on a table, and tell jyo*
“come meet Akira, she is making the meal..... yes, she has the fish ready, you just have to wait until ? gets meal first – Akira is my Glaceon friend from Tokyo, Japan, so she has the fish ready either sushi, sashimi, and even fish filled dango”
“is it another prank?” *Jyo tells me*


*I show the kitty where Akira is*
“Akira this is Jyo, the friendly Espeon, didn't introduce earlier since we where playing a funny prank on him”


*Jyo happily waves over, Akira waves, then calls ? over*


“'konnichi-wa Bui (こんにちはブイ – hello Eevee) so nice to meet you – I have various Japanese meals  for you to pick from, which would you like to eat?, let me show you all of them”


*left side, ? can see that Akira has noodles to just drop on hot water and cook in under 3 minutes, can see all veggies and chāshū meat all ready to go, and hot broths ready*
“this is for Ramen (ラーメン), one broth is made with garlic and pork bones called Tonkotsu the other is made with a tasty soy sauce broth called Shoyu, and have soft boiled eggs all peeled and ready to eat”




*then shows ? Another pot in the middle, filled with various spices, seasonings, and cut up meats and veggies*
“this is for Yakisoba (焼きそば), is our Japanese version of chow mein-style fried noodles, with veggies, and meat, just have to quickly cook noodles and mix it together, so in less than 3 minutes should be ready – I can add some tempura (天ぷら), our version of fried chicken or seafood or veggies, but no oil since Būstā here air-fried it” 
(ブースター –Japanese name for Flareon)




*then shows the ? Another flat top stove with what look like silly dough balls*
“these are called 'dango' (団子) – this one is called 'isobe dango' which is a sweet and salty dango made with soy sauce wrapped in nori. Goma dango is this one made with sesame paste, sweet as well and a bit salty. Anko dango is this one its more of dessert like sweetened with red bean paste'




*then shows ? Next area*
“the typical sushi area (すし), I have lots of fish and....”
*? can hear Jyo panting next to them, giving off silly-cute sounding 'Mreow' at the smell of fish and Akira saying it, Akira giggles hearing it before continuing*
“.... and sashimi (刺身), also have some tamagoyaki (卵焼き) our version of Japanese omelets”




*last shows a bowl with nori and another veggie, with a green looking broth*
“this is Miso Soup (味噌汁), healthy, soft and tasty”


*finally shows the last part, covered bowls*
“this last one is what Grace loves, fermented soy beans called Natto (納豆), not every one likes, I love it too”




*Akira grabs a nice big tray tells ?*
“what may I serve you? kawaii Ibui!”
*giggles saying that last part, playfully nibbles her own tail as ? decides on food*
(可愛いイーブイ / cute Eevee)


*Akira waits for ? To point at everything it wants, if it involves noodles, not long in cooking them*
