The Adventures of Megumi and Toji

Intro Pt. 2

"And here's some ginger scallion ramen noodles for you Megumi."

"Thank you Amari!"

"Why can't you be respectful and just call her Ms. Elliot? You are still Miss and not Mrs. right?"

"Yes I'm still freaking single. Also, I'm fine with being on a first name basis with Megumi. We are just chill like that you know?" She handed Toji a plate of food.

"What is this?"

"A couple of your rats snuck into my house today so here, I'm giving them back to you."

"WHAT?!"

"Yea, it's rat tail soup, don't you see the tail sticking out of the bowl?"

"....do you really hate me that much?"

"Yes, I think the one rat that made it into that dish was Remi."

"NOO NOT REMI!"

"Dad! Stop crying so much! It's embarrassing."

She rolled her eyes at Toji who was about to be in tears. "I didn't actually cook your rats Toji."

"So this tail in my soup isn't an animal tail at all?"

"...All I said was that it wasn't your rats."

"I'd rather dumpster dive for a half eaten Big Mac. Why does Megumi get the 5 star meal?"

She patted Megumi on his head. "He deserves it."

"How can I prove you wrong about me? You seem to just have this horrible view on me and I don't like it."

"Get a job, move out of your cardboard apartment. Take better care of your son."

"How about I take you out?"

"TAKE ME WHAT?!"

"Out!"

"On a date?!"

"YES!"

I should probably step out before things get physical. Megumi thought to himself before hopping out of his seat and picking up his plate full of noodles. He walked to her bedroom and just chilled in there.

"WHERE WOULD YOU EVEN TAKE ME FOR DINNER?! A SOUP KITCHEN??"

"Actually I can't afford that either."

"HOW? IT'S FREE!"

"Okay, if you look past my money issues and my absent-ness in parenthood, and my criminal records, and my 5 followers on tiktok, and my hoes, and Gojo, you could see that I really am a nice person if you just get to know me."

"Toji I'm TOO young for you anyway. Maybe you would have better luck at keeping a woman if you weren't railing 9 people a week."

"That is not true! It's 15...."

"THAT JUST MAKES IT WORSE!"

"Okay okay I know I have hoes, but I'd be willing to drop all of them for you."

"How many times have you said that to another girl?"

"None!"

"Be honest."

"Okay 5 BUT! This time I mean it."

She opened a drawer in your kitchen and put on some latex gloves.

A smirk came onto his face. "Ohhh are we role playing? Because I would love to be your patient."

"Yes we are role playing, yes you are my patient. Now get on the counter and act unconscious so I can cut you open from the stomach up to the neck."

The color in his body drained out and he went pale. "Actually I'm good."

"That's what I thought asshole." You sat at your table and pointed to a seat next to you. "Sit down."

"Hey I mean, I may be dominant but I could be submissive-

"SIT DOWN!"

"Yes ma'am right away." He ran to the seat next to her and immediately sat down.

Amari held her hands out with her palms facing upwards. "Hold my hands."

"What are the gloves for?"

"I couldn't bare the thought of touching you with my bare hands. I might catch E. Coli by just making skin to skin contact. Now, Toji we need to talk."

"Yes, I will most definitely be your- "

"That...was not what I was going to say. If I ever end up with you, pigs would be flying."

"Megumi! Remind me to steal a pig from the local barn on Monday!"

"TOJI! LISTEN TO ME! Ugh! Okay. I believe there is some truth to what you say."

"About being my girlfriend?"

"I DONT LIKE YOU BACK! I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU NOW SHUT UP! YOUR'E SO GOD DAMN HORNY! I was saying I believe that there is more to you than what everyone sees with all the criminal records and stuff. I would never ever find you the slightest bit attractive, but if I were to ever reciprocate any feelings, you would need a job, because I'm not a sugar mommy. You would need to be a better father, and you would just need to be in a better financial situation. You may annoy me but I do care about Megumi and I really think you should try bettering your life."

"Wow, uhm, thank you Amari. You're right, I've just been doing all kinds of stuff and not putting my son first. I'll do better I promise."

"Good." She handed him her laptop.

"What is this?"

"A laptop, you idiot. And a job application site. Look for jobs nearby and find one IMMEDIATELY!"

"Well you see, I do wanna do this but I actually have a doctors appointment to run to."

"A doctors appointment?"

"Uh yea."

"At what clinic?"

"The uh, the Tokyo one."

"Mhm. What's this doctors name?"

"Uhm, Sarah. OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME! I GOTTA GO!"

"What about Megumi?"

"Just have him stay him the night. Bye!"

Toji took off out your front door and hopped into his cardboard mobile. A cardboard box with wagon wheels.

Megumi walked out of her room with his finished plate. "Where'd my dad go?"

"He said he went to a doctor's appointment."

"Was the doctor's name Sarah?"

"Yea."

"Yep, he definitely has an appointment....it's just not the doctor kind.."

"One night stand?"

He nodded his head. "One night stand."

"Of course. I should've known he would just drop you off for sex." She grimaced as she slid your gloves off of your hands and threw them in the trash. "Here I'll take your plate for you."

"No it's okay I got it."

"Aww Megumi, you're so responsible."

"Only because you taught me how to do basic chores. My dad only taught me how to pick pocket and pick locks."

"I know. You wanna watch a movie until he gets back?"

"If we watch until he gets back we might be watching for a week."

"I'll have something plan when we get old of the movies."

"That's fine. What are we watching?"

"Final Destination?"

"Anything but the 4th movie of that series."

"Final Destination 3 it is!"
