Chapter 4

The compromise and the pizza

The door slammed shut and the bang echoed down the empty halls. Tanya turned to Roy with a smile.

Tanya: I won't be that mean to you, Roy.

Roy: Thanks. (Whew)

Tanya: If you don't want that to happen to you just like your blue-haired friend, I want you to get me a pizza. We're watching you, Roy. You have ten minutes. Laura and Vic commented with a sneer, almost as if they were evil villains in a fairy tale.

Laura: Yeah!

Vic: Yeah!

Tanya put a collar on Roy. It tracks his movements using some radio device.

Vic: If you leave the school, you DIE! Like this.

Vic holds up a drawing depicting a huge explosion and random remainders of Roy's existence flying through the air.

Roy: (T-T) Scary!

Roy ran down the hallway as fast as he could and located the cafeteria around the corner at the hall's junction. He needed pizza, but lots of students were eating lunch in there. Roy backed up against the wall and raised his fist.

Roy: I have ten minutes to be smart.

Turning around, he backed up into Marth.

Roy: Where'd you come from!

Marth: I escaped Amanda's torture.

FLASHBACK

Marth: HELP!

Amanda dragged him into the auditorium, only dimly lit by some stage lights left on.

Amanda: But no one will! You're mine!

Marth: I'm not ready for this kind of relationship….uh…we just met!

Amanda: Nice excuse.

Marth: Wait! Wouldn't this be more enjoyable with…uh…………pudding?

Amanda: huh?

Marth: Yeah! Good old sexy pudding makes everything better.

Amanda: Alright, I'll untie you. Go get some pudding, but hurry back my handsome prince!

Marth: Yeah, sure.

UNFLASHBACK

Marth notices Roy's collar.

Marth: Did that Tanya girl try to get kinky with you?

Roy: This is more of a dangerous bomb than a bondage accessory.

Marth: Not too much more, huh?

Roy: Okay. Enough! Let's get in line for pizza!

They step in the line of students getting lunch, only to be stared at by all them.

Marth: Uhh…we're from Japan. (v)

Everyone turned away, but Marth can hear whispers floating through the air. Roy's turn in line came up.

Roy: Can I get one slice of pizza?

Lunch Lady: Ooo! How old are you? You're quite the handsome young fella aren't you?

Roy: Uh… can I just have my pizza and go please, lady?

Lunch Lady: That will be $1.20 please.

Marth: We don't have any money, Roy! Did you forget? We didn't exactly plan this.

Lunch Lady: Are you new students?

Roy: Let's go with that.

Marth: Were transfer students from "Fire Emblem High School".

Lunch Lady: Well I guess you deserve your first lunch for free.

Roy: Great! Thanks old lady!

Lunch Lady: Old lady!

Marth and Roy take off, as the lunch lady starts crying.

After retracing their steps down the hall, they arrived back in front of the auditorium to greet Tanya with her pizza and Amanda with another excuse about Marth's escape.

Marth & Roy: We have the pizza!
