"Oh my god, Piper. Oh my god." Dakota said, through a mouthful of pizza.
"Is it good?" Zack asked.
"Of course it's good." Piper insisted.
"It's the best!" Dakota moaned, trying to force the remaining crust of her slice into her still full mouth. "The best...pizza I ever had!" Growing up in small town Texas, Dakota never experienced higher quality pizza than Dominoes. She really thought that was the height of pizza. But here, the pizzas were HUGE, 18 inches across! And flavors she'd never never seen before like Chicken and Brocolli, Penne alla Vodka, and some weird creation called Grandma's Pizza. Piper talked her into starting with an ordinary cheese pie with them, and even then Dakota found it the most complex, flavorful pizza she'd ever had.
Piper beamed with delight. "See, I told you this place is the tits!"
Dakota nodded in agreement. "I'm going to eat here for lunch everyday now." Her tone was glib, but in the moment she meant every word of it. "So good." As Dakota focused on tearing into another slice of pizza, the conversation lulled and so Piper tried to revive it.
"So Zack, what are you going to do with your bumper sticker?"
"Well, if we had a car, I'd put it on it."
"Well, none of us are going to get a car, so you have to figure out something else." Piper said, crossing her arms in annoyance.
"Who says I'm not going to get a car?"
"How are you going to afford a car?"
Dakota found their bickering was disturbing her digestion, so she interrupted. "Um, I don't know if this helps but..." Dakota pointed to a sign that said "DELIVERY DRIVERS WANTED."
Zack look over and smiled. "Thank you Dakota, for a helpful idea, rather than just adding negativity." He said, smugly.
Piper just rolled her eyes. "Do you even have a license?"
"Getting a license is easy, I just need to get some wheels." Zack insisted. While they continued to argue, Dakota thought over the problem while working through another slice of pizza. By now she was completely full, but she didn't want to stop. She rubbed her engorged stomach, and she could actually feel it sticking out and rounded from all the food. She didn't even know that was a thing that really happened.
"We could pool our money, and get a used car for all three of us?"
Both Piper and Zack stopped bickering raised their eyebrows in surprise.
"That's not a bad idea, Dakota." Piper admitted.
"Good. Now on to more important matters. Are you going to want more of this, or can I finish the rest of this pie?"
