This is just something cute I thought of while playing the game. Enjoy!

Their lips parted; their breath was heavy, their palms sweating.

"I love you so much," the man said, eyes gazing fondly out from behind his teal visor.

"I love you too, Tyrone," the woman replied, her red hair unkempt; "I just wish we didn't have to hide this from everybody."

They kissed again, briefly, before Tyrone turned away and looked upon the long stretch of highway bordering them.

"People wouldn't understand," he said regretfully. "Especially after… well… I mean, you know… after the song went platinum and all…"

"Who cares about the song?" Mona said longingly, taking Tyrone's hand. "I'd leave it all behind: the business, the band, the night job with the game company…"

"Don't talk like that," Tyrone said suddenly, silencing her, "You have a great life right now. To ask you to give it all up for me… That'd be so selfish." He reached up and brushed her cheek. "We'll just have to wait… until they can learn to understand."

The pair was about to kiss again, but there was a sudden clanking noise, and Tyrone jerked his gaze to the side.

"Damn! It's the manager! Quick, play along." He grabbed Mona's shoulders and started shaking her violently.

"…And that'll be the last time you park your bike on our side of the property, you little brat!"

"Let go of me! I don't owe you an apology!" Mona snarled back, playing along perfectly.

Rex, the manager, chuckled as he came to the door, and after a full minute called out, "Now, now, Tyrone. No need for that. I think the little girl has learned her lesson."

"Yes, sir!" Tyrone acknowledged, pounding on the side of his helmet with his fist.

Rex mimicked the gesture, then turned as he said, "Come, employee. We have to deliver 10,000 pizzas today and must coordinate with our other branches."

"Yes, sir!" Tyrone said emphatically. When Rex's back disappeared, Tyrone gave Mona one last kiss. "It'll be all right," he whispered in her ear, before turning and marching through the doors of Pizza Dinosaur.

Mona sighed, stars in her eyes. Nobody would believe her if she told the tale of her wild, secret love. It had become so hard to be with him while upholding the image of the rivalry between Mona Pizza and Pizza Dinosaur. If the public found out… no. She wouldn't let that happen… until it was time.
