The three of them started picking up the goods after Zeus' signal as the timer started.

Shawn was quick and he picked up all those foods that he was familiar with.

"Wow big bro Shawn listens and obeys everything," Dean commented as they watched the three rus.h.i.+ng on picking food supplies on the widescreen.

"What's with that? only meat? Are they carnivores? Guys you will need vegetables also!" Bernard murmured and Dean laughed.

It was Gaby who almost took all the meats.

"That man never listens at all!" Denver jeered.

"Well our man sure listens well, he followed instructions about even the quant.i.ty. Very accurate… I believe he will make a very good husband in the future," Ryu commented with a firm voice.

Dean coughed as he suppressed his laughter with his big bro's killer lines on promoting his brother.

Then he added, "Yeah I'm sure big bro Shawn will definitely be a good husband to our friend Denise. By the way, do you know we are quite close with your sister." Dean said slowly and smiled at Denver.

"We'll see that later, if he deserves to be with my sister or not…" Denver said with twitched lips as he looked at the screen.

He knew his sister well and he was sure that Denise has fallen in love with Shawn.

He could see that spark in her eyes when she was in front of Shawn. However, he found something off with Shawn's profile when he did an investigation.

He cared a lot about Denise and he wanted to make sure that his sister falls for the right person who can keep her happy always.

Ryu and Dean knew how to cook and therefore they did the cooking for their group while Shawn and Bernard just helped in was.h.i.+ng the vegetables and other a.s.sisting stuff.

"Look at how this flower boy eats. What a glutton." Dean commented laughing.

Ryu cooked their breakfast and it was really good.

"How come you're so good in cooking?" Bernard asked.

"I was not… but I learnt to cook for someone special. It's because I wanted to win over a woman. I practiced hard to get to a woman's heart through her stomach." Ryu answered simply and Bernard almost choked.

Shawn couldn't suppress his chuckling.

"Why? You look all surprised." Ryu said as he continued to eat.

"I thought it should be the other way round –to win a man's heart through his stomach-" Shawn said nonchalantly.

"Well all is fair in love. When a Ken falls in love, they crazily love their partner and do everything they can, to win their heart… so I learnt how to cook because I knew almost all other things to win her over so..." Ryu answered.

"Yeah… that's right. I remember the love story of my uncle and auntie, though they have experienced a lot of hards.h.i.+ps, still love prevails." Dean interrupted.

They were all eating on one long table where each group was seated with their members eating their own food only.

Zeus: "Again I will remind you of no sharing of foods among groups. Those who will not obey will get punished. After finis.h.i.+ng your breakfast each group will clean their rooms and then each group, your another task for the day is to name your group because I am already tired of calling you small, medium and big room! So One of your task today is to think of a group name for your team and prepare a cheer for it. The winning group will get a reward later..."

Dean's face was crumpled. Of all the time to interrupt, why would Zeus choose now to speak up when he was trying to make a conversation to tell the story of his Uncle Karl and Auntie Cecile to Shawn.

He missed Rita so much already and today was just the first day, sleeping alone without his beautiful wife was a torture really… and he would like to finish this mission as soon as possible. To go back and sleep with his soft and silky pillow…

'I will make sure to take her for honeymoon for at least a month… and I will not let her escape from the room  the entire time… how nice would that be ummhhh'

"Wake up Dean stop day-dreaming," Ryu said when he saw Dean lost in his thoughts, "Rita can not come here and you will be able to meet her when you go out now."

"Zeus why are you treating us like kids? And now we have to cheer?" Dean snapped back from his day-dream and asked irritably.

Zeus: "The viewers will like it. You'll see once the voting starts. What's wrong with cheering? There will be criterias for judging on it which will be posted on the screen after your breakfast."

At Ken Mansion

Arya was having a hard time with Rita's training.

"The heck… do u want me to help you with cooking? I will tell you the secrets on how you can make everything perfect with one condition," Arya said stammering as Rita was above her pinning her down.

"Nah, I'll be fine, but you dear Arya… you need to be taught carefully. Jujutsu is often used for close combat. It's very useful if you don't have a weapon with you like the time when you were almost abducted. I'll teach you a lot of techniques. Besides, grandpa is right. Old Man Skull is a very cunning and merciless man so this is needed for your own safety." Rita said in a serious tone.

"Oh c.r.a.p… aw aww… Let go. Let's rest first. I'm so thirsty…" Arya whispered. She was panting hard.

Rita was even stricter than the trainer a.s.signed to her by grandpa.

"By the way, looks like someone is missing Dean here a lot."

Rita blushed hard when she heard from Arya's these words.

Arya continues, "I'm happy that you seems to be opening your heart to Dean. He's really a nice guy and I can tell that he's very sincere with his feelings towards you." Arya said before she drank the water in the bottle.

"Yes, I can feel that too. I honestly feel I'm too lucky to be part of the Ken Family. It's the first time I felt what it is like being in a family." Rita murmured.

Arya smiled as she pressed Rita's shoulder she said, "Nah, you deserve that. Everyone deserves to be happy regardless of their past. What is important is how you are now. Like Shawn, I hope he too becomes happy soon."

Arya told Rita everything that the Ken's already knew the truth and she cited what really happened.

"I told you this so just you already have an idea. Dean does not want you to get involved anymore with the matter that will also involve that Old Man, he doesn't want to put you in trouble and give Old man Skull a chance to hurt you, that's why he did not mention anything." Arya explained.

"But big bro have to know atleast. I mean I know he won't believe even my words that easily, he has been through a lot in his childhood and all through his growing years he has suffered, but at least he'll have an idea of the other side of the story." Rita said.

She was concerned about Shawn. She wanted him to get freed from that chain that's been keeping him in the dark.

"Right Rita, Shawn is an awesome person. I have seen his good side when I was at the resort. He was really good to me." Arya said

"Moreover he is family, and we are all concerned about his well being and want him to know the other side of the story, and that's why Ryu and Dean are working on it. Let's just trust this matter on the boys and focus on how we can be a good and supportive housewife to them in return." Arya said as she held Rita's hand and winked at her.

"Well, while Shawn is not around, we have a chance to bully his wife… hehehe… you can peel out Denise alive… You know, she and Shawn…" Arya then told Rita about Denise.

"Oh my G.o.d! How come I missed so many details like this? I'm going to hit that Dean hard for keeping such important details from me." Dean murmured with pouted lips.

Arya laughed and said, "I guess you can kick his b.u.t.t next week since he's decided to leave the house early. I'm sure he will do everything to tell Shawn the Ken's version of the story within this week so that he can come back to sleep on his own BED with his PILLOW." Arya drawled her last words and looked playfully at Rita.

Rita blushed upon recalling Dean's direct message to her through the camera on his first night at the house.

She missed him badly and couldn't wait to be with him soon.

"Rita… do you think Old Man Skull is the one responsible for all the things that had happened to Shawn since his birth?" Arya suddenly asked. She heard everything from Ryu and they all think everything was Old Man Skull's doing.

"Yes… I grew up with him so I know how despicable a person he is. I'm sure he planned it all from the start to get back with our Grandpa. He was obsessed on making grandfather's business fall and he was also desperate in destroying his family." Rita said sighing.

"Girls, Elder Master said not to slack off and if you fail to show great improvement in one month, he would add more harder training to the both of you." Butler Omni relayed, he laughed when he saw how sour Arya and Rita's face had become.

Elder Ken saw them talking from the balcony and noticed that the two took long in talking rather in training so he called him to relay the message…

"Oh c.r.a.p… this will be the last time I will train you because from tomorrow I will focus on my own a.s.signment… so make sure you remember everything I will teach you because your trainer absolutely will hesitate to give you this kind of teaching." Rita said as she signaled Arya to get ready.

Butler Omni watched. Tomorrow, one more daughter-in-law will arrive, an addition to the Ken Family...
