CLANDESTINE

NOTE: I do not own the Samurai Pizza Cats, characters and all that other stuff. Going to court soon LOL!

Speedy arrived at his destination and gave the pizza to the customer, who in return gave the right change for the pizza.

"Thanks and hope you order again" said Speedy, smiling. The old guy closed the door not saying a word. "Your welcome...(Smile fades)...you grumpy pants!" Speedy put the money in his pocket and sighed, all he could think about was Polly. "Why have I taken this long to confess my love for Polly...she showed me her feelings on the night of the comet and yet...I...I just...man, I'm crap at this stuff". thought Speedy, walking away looking at the dusty ground. "I'll prove it...I'll prove my love to her, I must, I can't leave it like this"

Just then a tomcat ran up to him, bumping him and pushing himself to the ground. Speedy groaned and looked up only to see Guido looking down at him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" asked Speedy

"Sorry, Speedy, I didn't see you there" said Guido, producing his hand for Speedy to take, Speedy hesitated and then took Guido's offer, he grabbed the hand and Guido plled him up.

"What are you doing here?" Speedy blinked, then got mad. "Hey, I know, it's the tip, if you think I'm splitting the tip on this delivery, your outta your mind!"

"Where have I heard that before…?" Guido then shoke his head. "No, that's not why I'm here"

"Then what?"

"I just needed to talk to you" Guido said in seriousness.

"About what?" Speedy was puzzled.

"About Polly"

Not liking where this was going, Speedy asked "What about her?"

"It's what you said...you love her..."

"My God, is it against the law? What's wrong with that?" said Speedy, sarcastically.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Guido, I've never been certain in my life about anything...but I know this is what I want...(Slight pause)...and hopefully Polly too..."

"That's...that's great, real great...but why now?"

"What do you mean?" asked Speedy, frowning.

"A month ago you two gave your heart out to each other and now...well, you two can't get two words out of each other!"

"So?"

Guido rolls his eyes. "Soooo? Why now, why a month? Why wait that long? I bet now that Polly's lost interest in you for taking so long to ask her out"

"What do you care? Do you love her?" said Speedy, intending the saying to be a joke.

Guido hesitated for a second then, chuckled in what looked like denial. "Pfft no...no way, Polly Esther? You kidding...? God, I could do better fishing in a swamp than her...ME like Polly? Man, the thought hurts my head"

"Watch what you say about her!" shouted Speedy, nearly attacking Guido. "Why do you care so much?"

"I...I just...(Thinking of an excuse, then gets one) I just don't want you...you two to get hurt, that's all, is that such a bad thing. You and Polly are my best friends...think about it, if you ask her out and she says no-"

"What?"

"Hear me out, if she says no, when you ask her, you'll be down in the dumps more than usual, you two will be embarrassed to talk to each other, see what I mean?"

"I won't know if I don't ask her, will I?...what is this, Guido? I thought you liked Lucille, why would you care if I liked Polly?"

"I...didn't like Lucille..." said Guido, with a guilty tone.

"Huh...? What...? But...every time I..."

"That was just a bit of fun, you know, me...and you-"

Guido was cut off. "Oh I see, I see what this is all about...you had to be in competition with me at everything! Deliveries, Lucille, that stupid race to be in Princess Vi's film...everything, you just didn't want me to succeed and now I have Polly in mind, you just...don't want me happy..."

"No, I...but Lucille, you wrote Lucille love letters."

"Look, Guido, what I had with Lucille was fake, bullshit...I just wanted Polly to notice, yeah sure it was a stupid way of doing it but...until I heard Polly call for me, call my name on that night, the night where I didn't think I could come back...I...I knew who my real love was...it's Polly, Guido, and if you can't take that then fine. What do you care?

"Speedy...I...just think she's not right for you...please as a friend, trust me on this" said Guido, pleading.

"Why don't you just trust ME then...(Slight mocking)...as a friend..."

Guido couldn't say a thing as Speedy started walking back to the parlour, he watched Speedy slowly go out of distance and then Guido clenched his fist, staring up into the sky.

"No...not now, God damn it. A month later and now this! How could this be? I thought it was over...please God, not now...please...I had it all planned..."
