"Good evening, sir," the brown dog girl greeted him. "One large pepperoni pizza for Nate Bowler!"

"Say, I recognize that voice" Nate smiled. "You must be Arinel!"

"That's right sir! I took your order when you phoned it in!"

"Yes, and thank you for doing such a great job!"

Nate couldn't help but admire Arinel. She had a cheery disposition, a friendly personality, and gosh, was she beautiful. Arinel also couldn't help but look over the brown mouse as he was talking to her. "Ooh, he is a cutie!" she thought to herself.

"Anyway," Nate said, getting back on track. "Here's the $15 I owe you, plus $3 as a tip for being so professional!"

"Thank you sir," Arinel said as she accepted the money. "It's greatly appreciated. And thanks again for choosing Furtown Pizza!"

Suddenly, the roar of a scooter motor could be heard. As Arinel looked on, her happy demeanor quickly turned to shock at what she saw.
