Although each of the world’s countries would like to dispute this fact, we French know the truth: The best food in the world is made in France.
The best food in France is made in Paris. And the best food in Paris, some say, is made by Chef Philza Minecraft.
Minecraft’s Restaurant is the toast of Paris booked five months in advance. And his dazzling ascent to the top of French cuisine has made his competitors envious.
He is the youngest chef ever to receive a five-star rating. Chef Minecraft’s cookbook, Anyone Can Cook! Climbed to the top of the bestseller list.
But not everyone celebrates its success.
“Amusing title, Anyone Can Cook!”- ‘Dream WasTaken - FOOD CRITIC’ ‘Kettle’ “ What’s even more amusing is that Minecraft actually seems to believe it. I, on the other hand, take cooking seriously. And, no, I don’t think anyone can do it.”
~Me being bored presents~ A Walt Disney based fanfic~
It's raining as the camera zooms going past the fall leaves on two adjacent trees on a yellow house with orange roofing. The house has four windows, a door and a chimney.
What seems to be gunshots can be heard.
‘Bang…… Bang….”
“Aaaaaaaa”
What seems to sound like glass shattering as the title comes in.
{We're Ratsssss}
Things were shattering around Techno. He was panicking at what to do internally. Everyone had already left and were continuing to leave.
The window was already broken how?
Techno could care less. Techno went back for the book and ran for it. With a book covering his head, Techno couldn't help but wonder how he got here.
Maybe he should rethink his life a little bit. Why should he rethink it? Well to start off, it’s because he's a rat.
Which means as a rat, life is hard.
So many things you are judged for or told you can't do. Secondly, it might be because he has a highly developed sense of smell and taste..
At least though it's what he's useful for.
~let's go back in time~
Sitting in a pile of garbage; Techno hated being there. Though there were some good smells.
Vanilla, Lemon, Eggs, Flour, Cherry, Cheese? And… Tommy?
Tommy had started to approach Techno, hopping onto the same pile of trash while his hands were hiding something behind his back.
Tommy had a golden fur color and a green string tied onto his left wrist. His eyes were as blue as the ocean. He was also Techno’s little brother.
Tommy held a piece of cheese up to the front of him. "What's going on in that brain of yours Big man?"
"Why do we keep eating this, it's trash, there isn’t anything good in here." "Well I happen to like this trash, how dare you." Tommy squinted at techno while tucking his cheese into his arms more. "Also don't let Sam hear you, you know what he thinks about you calling this garbage."
Rolling his eyes, Techno groaned. "Yeah, yeah I know." Glancing to his right he noticed someone walking over.
It was Sam.
Sam's fur was a dark green color, his eyes a vibrant green as though it was thriving green grass.
"SAM, big man you see what I have here, it's cheese." Putting the cheese up to his nose Tommy took a deep breath in. Techno's nose twitched.
Something smelled wrong.
"Tommy don't you dare put that in your mouth." Snatching the cheese from his brother's hand he smelled it.
Yep, something was wrong.
He had smelled it before, but where had he smelled it? Techno hopped off the garbage pile motioning for the two to follow behind him.
Leading Sam and Tommy to where the smell was stronger he noticed a tarp. Tommy whined about not being able to eat the cheese that he had wanted to. Techno pulled the tarp up so he could see what was underneath.
Rat poison.
"That's not a good sign." Techno glanced at Sam. "At least Tommy didn't eat it though"
"Can you smell the poison?" Techno turned to Tommy whose eyes were wider. "I almost ate that big man." Sam's eyes widened looking at Techno as if he just got an idea.
Techno felt he wasn't going to like this, whatever this was.
Yep he was right. Now he's a poison checker.
"How's this blade?" Oh and also he got a nickname. Because of his sharp sense of smell they nicknamed him blade? Why would they choose a weapon as a nickname?
He doesn't know either.
The person he was talking to?
Eret. Eret had brown fur but white eyes, it made people curious if he could see or not. They could see it was just a weird thing with her genes.
"It's fine Eret, this is the third time I've seen you today. Where exactly are you getting all of this from."
"Don't tell Tommy." Covering the side of his mouth as to whisper to Techno, glancing around too to make sure Tommy wasn't nearby.
"I found one of Tommy's stashes" Techno gave him a thumbs up. "It's ok by the way, no poison" "Thanks blade!" Techno watched as Eret went off holding that mushroom he had seen Tommy take a while beforehand to his stash.
Resting his chin on his arm, Techno was getting ready for a long day of smelling trash to see if it had poison.
"TECHNO, some asshole found one of my stashessss." Tommy whined to him. "It was Eret." "That mother fucker when I get him it's the end of the road for him."
Techno snorted, yeah sure Tommy said he didn't like sharing his things but if it really came down to it he didn't care.
The day went by fast and it was time to go inside with the colony. Looking behind him Techno wondered how different life would be if he was somewhere else.
Would he still be stuck with trash?
Shaking his head sideways he thought nah it's not like I'm leaving anytime soon.
Although the old lady was asleep. Maybe he'd go inside the house for a bit, he wasn't expected until later. The lady had a pirate hat on, her hair was curly and split dyed, the colors? Black and white, she looked cool but she was in her late ages and a human.
A cooking show was on the TV while the lady was sleeping. Techno wasn’t too interested in watching the show today. After all, he had seen it so many times. This wasn't his first time inside the house.
There were some fresh potatoes and some new cheese. Maybe the lady had gone for groceries recently. Techno had read in some book that that's what humans did when they didn't have something.
Grabbing a part of a potato and part of the cheese he bit into one.
The potato, it's something salty but didn't have much to it, something that Techno couldn't have said he's had before.
The cheese was semi creamy, as cheese usually is.
What would happen if he combined the two. Looking at his hands that were holding the potato and the cheese, he put the cheese next to the potato.
Taking a bite with the two together, Techno's eyes widened. Wow. This was something new, something great, something that should be everywhere.
It was getting dark outside.
Finishing up the potato and cheese he glanced at the old lady, still asleep. He turned around and went up to the colony. He'd probably read more of her books later.
"Techno, where have you been?" Sam was looking at him. Not knowing what to say he shrugged. "Around I guess? Why?" "Tommy was looking for you, said he had something he wanted to show you"
"Where is he now?" "He's with his friends in the corner. But let me talk with you first before you go over to him."
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"Techno I know you've been with the human and don't like the food we have here, and that's ok, but it doesn't mean you have the right to go and steal that lady's food."
Baffled by Sam's blunt statement, Techno's eyes were wide.
"We are stealing the trash anyways so what's the difference?" Crossing his arms he looked back at Sam denying nothing as both knew it would be a lie.
"We are not stealing. If the human does not want it it's free and not stolen but what you are doing is stealing and that isn't ok, we both know even Tommy looks up to you, if he does what you do, we both know how it will end."
"It's still stealing because we are taking what's not ours! There isn't a difference just one is good and the other is bad. What Tommy does is not to be put on me. He is his own person and I don't control him!"
Sam looked at Techno also crossing his arms. Sam raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really. Tommy! Tommy come over here for a second." "Don't do this, this isn't fair." Techno looked in Tommy's direction and Tommy had already started walking over.
"What's up Big S. Oh hi Techno, when did you get here?"
"Tommy if Techno were to ask you to find him a spice or specific food would you do it?"
Tommy brought his hand up to his chin, "Well yeah I mean if Techno wanted it I'd get it for him or try to." Tommy looked back at Sam as his head had turned downwards to the floor due to thinking.
"Thanks Tommy, you can go back to your friends, Techno will be over there in a bit"
Tommy gave a thumbs up then walked away. Sam looked at techno and uncrowded his arms as his point had been proven.
Techno felt annoyed. No matter what he was not willing to eat the trash. Sam put his hand on Techno's shoulder.
"Please, isn't this enough? You get to help so many of us, thanks to you we haven't had any deaths to poison. You'd be great as the next leader. But if you keep this up the colony won't have you as a new leader. It would go to Tommy. "
Shrugging Sam's hand off his shoulder Techno grumbled, clearly done with having the talk with his pseudo father.
Sam raised Techno when his parents died, adopting Tommy as well later on. Techno would be forever grateful for Sam but sometimes he just didn't understand.
"Ok, you don't have to agree with me, and that's fine, it's ok but please if not for me think about Tommy. He's your brother, he'd follow you till the ends of the world. Do it for him, please?"
Techno looked away from him. Sam sighed.
"I've held you for too long, Tommy's expecting you now I think, even if you don't agree keep it in the back of your mind at least, thank you, love you Techno"
"Love you too Sam."
Turning away from Sam he looked at Tommy as he headed his way. He was with some of his friends. Ranboo, Tubbo, Purpled, Badlinu, Aimsey and Billzo.
Ranboo was an interesting one as their fur was two different colors along with their eyes. Their eyes were green and red. Their fur was white and black directly down the middle.
Tubbo's fur was brown and he had a red string on his right hand to match with Tommy. Tubbo had brown eyes as well.
Purpled's fur was white but he had purple eyes hence his name.
Badlinu had brown fur and was wearing what looked to be shades? He changed things about him often and Techno couldn’t remember everything.
Aimsey's fur was also brown, along with their eyes. You’d think he and Tubbo are siblings. They are the one to find things, he finds string or yarn for Tommy since he likes making things. Tommy made them a red beanie that he never takes off.
Billzo had a dark brown fur and has a headband tied around his neck. He loved his headband and didn’t go anywhere without it.
"Hey Theseus, Sam said you needed me?"
Tommy looked up from the table and to Techno. "One, that's not my name, two, yeah I did but I forgot…. Isn't it your turn to go look for food tomorrow though, can I come with?"
Ignoring what Sam had talked to Techno about and how Tommy is he agrees.
"Is that all?" "Yeah" "ok I'll be in my corner let me know if you need anything else."
Tommy nods at him getting back into the conversation with his friends.
Techno was tired. He decided he would sleep until tomorrow. Who knows, maybe something interesting might happen.
