Zero Laid The Pizza Box Onto The Table, And Opened The Box Up. He Sat Two Plates Down, And Grabbed A Slice. I Did As Well, And Took My First Bite.

"Oh My God, It Sounds Amazing." I Stated.
Zero Clicked It Off.
"It'll Sound Better, Once I Work It Out More." He Said. "For Now, We Gotta' Get Some Rest."
