And their father comes in and meets the mayor of Whoville for the first time.
Chapter 8: Meeting the Mayor
The next day, Ned McDodd was in the mayor's office, just taking notes and feeding his fish. He then receives a call from Ms. Yelp and he pressed the button and asked, "Yes, Ms. Yelp?"
"Your pizza delivery is here." she replied.
"Thank you, Ms. Yelp."
Suddenly, Corey comes in the office and said, "One cheese pizza for a Ned McDodd?"
"Yes, that's me."
He sets the box down on his desk and then, Ned checks to see if it's the right order. He sees that it's all cheese and then, closes it and said, "Great timing."
"Well, thank you, sir. That'll be 10.50."
Ned pulls out his wallet and gave him 15 dollars and 60 cents to Corey and he gave him his change-10 dollars and 20 cents. Then, Corey said, "Enjoy your pizza, Mr. McDodd, sir."
"Thank you very much."
Corey attempts to leave, but he nervously looks at Ned and thinks about asking him something. Ned looks at Corey, still standing there and he's chuckling nervously a little. Ned asked, "You okay?"
"Oh, sure. It's just-this is actually the first time meeting you and delivering a pizza for you." Corey replied.
"Well, that's a tall order."
"Yes, I know. Anyways, do you by any chance have a son named Jojo McDodd?"
"Oh, yes I do. Why?"
"Great. Well...my sons go to your son's school and we moved back to Whoville a couple of days ago with my new wife, Olivia Perkins. We met inWhatCity a couple of years ago and she seemed like a perfect match for me. Wanna see a picture of her?"
"Oh, sure."
Corey pulled out his wallet and lets Ned see a picture of Olivia. He looks at it and said, "She's a good one."
"Yes, she is. My boys are somewhat unsure about their stepmom, but I'm sure they'll see that she's really lovely."
"I'm sure she is."
"Wanna see a picture of my boys before I go? I don't wanna take too much of your time."
"Oh, please do so."
He pulls in a picture of his two boys and Ned looks at them and said, "Wow. They seem like a couple of nice boys."
"Yep."
He seemed confused because they look like each other, but totally different. He asked, "How do I tell which is which?"
"These are my twins-Seth and Austin. The one with the golden-bronze necklace with the 'A' on it is Austin and the other one with the silver necklace with an 'S' on it is Seth. The only way you can tell them apart are their eyes. They're fraternal twins."
"Yes, you must be a proud father."
"I try my hardest. Well, thanks for the change, sir. I must be on my way."
"Okay, thanks for the pizza, Mr..."
"Zuckerman."
"Zuckerman. Thanks."
Corey walks away a little nervous and left the office while Ned chews in the pizza. Ned sighs softly and said, "Warm, cheesy goodness. I could just devour this thing forever."
Sorry that was too short, but it's pretty much all I got. Also, there's a new character in the works and he'll be here on the next chapter!
