Chapter 4:- It's Pizza Night!

The school day passed and, since it was Friday, it was time for Dick, Vic, and Gar to uphold their weekly tradition.

"Boo Yah! Pizza night!" yelled Vic, bursting out of the front door followed by a laughing crowd consisting of Gar, Dick, Jinx, Kori and Raven (except she wasn't laughing).

Kori walked next to Dick. "What is this pizza you speak of? Is it good?"

Dick chuckled. "It's good, Kori. I'll show you when we get there."

"C'mon. I'll drive," said Vic, opening the door of an old black pick-up truck.

"I get shotgun!" yelled Gar and Jinx at the same time.

"Ladies first pal," Vic said, allowing Jinx to climb into the passenger seat. Dick jumped into the bed of the truck and extended a hand to help Kori get in, then as she settled down next to one of the wheel hubs, he extended a hand to help Raven up.

"No thanks. I'd rather stay here... and drown," said Raven dryly.

"Nuh-uh. You're coming with," stated Gar as he grabbed her hand, jumped into the bed and pulled her up. Raven sighed and reluctantly settled down, as Dick sat next to Kori.

Gar got up and knocked on the truck's rear window. "Onward!" he yelled before sitting down next to Raven.

The journey was short and uneventful and before long they arrived in Lake City Pizzeria. They walked in as a group, smiling and laughing - with the notable exception of Raven - and Vic yelled to the chef behind the counter. "Yo Mario!"

The chef laughed joyously extending his arms in greeting, before saying in a fake Italian accent: "Ah, my favorite customers. How are ya boys?"

"Not bad man. Not bad. Make it a table for six tonight."

"Ah, ha. My boys got themselves some girls then, eh?"

Vic laughed. "No, just some good friends."

Mario laughed. "Right... Take your usual and pull over some extra chairs, OK? I'll be with ya in a moment."

"Alright, man."

The boys walked over to a circular table in the corner of the room, and the girls followed. They sat for barely two minutes, when Mario came over with a notepad. "OK. OK. Let's have some drinks, eh? What will it be?"

"Milk for me, Mario," said Dick.

"Pink lemonade please!" yelled Jinx excitedly.

"I'll take a powerade if ya got one," answered Vic.

"Have you got any tea?" said Raven dryly.

"I'll just have a water," said Gar.

"I will have a CO-KA-CO-LA," said Kori slowly, trying desperately to pronounce every syllable.

"OK. OK. Do you know what you want on your pizzas now, eh?"

"We'll take four large pizzas," said Dick.

"OK. OK. One vegan extreme and one all-meat experience, I presume."

"You're good, man," said Vic, pointing affectionately at Mario.

"What do you want girls?" asked Dick.

"I will take meat, cream, pineapple and mustard," said Kori loudly.

Everyone looked at her in pure shock, horror, disgust and confusion.

"Err... Kori. Not everything on the menu is a pizza topping," said Dick, correcting her mistake.

"Oh, then I will accept the pepperoni perfection."

"Right, errr... Interesting choice," said Mario, half to Kori and half to Dick.

"What about you Rae?" asked Gar, to which he received a sharp glare so he corrected himself, "RAY-VEN?"

Raven eyed the menu. "I guess I'll take the dark surprise."

"Yeah, that sounds like you," said Gar.

"That OK with you Jinx?" asked Dick.

"Yeah! As long as I can steal a bit of everyone's."

"Of course. But you might not want Gar's. It's covered in tofu"
"Does the tofu have meat in it?" asked Jinx.

"Of course the tofu doesn't have meat in it. It's TOFU," replied Gar.

At that, the table burst out in laughter, as did Mario, who hurriedly ran off to fetch the order. Even Raven smiled.

"AH-HA!" Gar pointed and yelled. "YOU SMILED! YOU THINK I'M FUNNY!"

The smile was immeaditely wiped from Raven's face. "I don't think so."

"Nope! You can't deny it now! You think I'm funny!" Gar jumped onto the table and started to do a foolish jig. "Raven thinks I'm funny! Raven thinks I'm funny! Raven thinks I'm funny!"

Raven, a smile quickly returning to her face, extended her arm, and grabbed Gar's leg, causing him to trip, fall off the table with a clatter, with random confectionaries falling on his head. The table burst out in laughter, as the ketchup and mustard dripped down Gar's face. Raven bent down and talked right into Gar's ear, "Now that's comedy," as a broad smile erupted on her face and she let out a quick chuckle. Gar smiled as she helped him up and the six friends ate their pizzas in happiness.
