Inspired and suggested by: FullMetalNinja75It was an ordinary night as usual stuck babysitting my twin brothers while my dad was working another late night shift.
I sat down in the couch eating a pile of cheetos I found in the cabinet. The boys upstairs we're sound asleep while I sat downstairs whatching tv. I grab the blanket over me and continue to eat the Cheetos.
The room was dark and the storm outside only made it gloomier.
I grab the phone and order pizza for me to each considering I will be up most of the night.
A few minutes later I hear the door bell ring. Guess buisness might be slow today considering the storm.
I get up from the couch and bring my blanket and Cheetos with me.
The door hits harder at the door that sounds like thunder.I open it and see an improbably tall, black-robed figure towering over me with a scythe in one bony hand. The figure looked at me for a while and looks down at a clipboard in its other hand. He paused and looked back up at me and then back at the paper. Even though I was able to see behind his hooded face I knew he was definitely confused.
"Are by any chance the pizza guy ?" I said.
The hooded figure looks at me again and back at the chart.
"Hello? Are you the pizza guy or not ? Im hungry here. Love the costume by the way."
He looks back at me even more confused and puzzled and shows me a list of names and one slot completely blank.
"Oh are these the other orders ? Did you guys run out of pizzas ?"
The figure puts both if his hands down in disbelief and grasp the scythe .
"Dude I just want some pizza is that too much to ask ?" I pop a cheeto in my mouth and grab some and hold it out.
"Want some ? You look like you need Cheetos after being out there. " I refer to the storm and keep my hand out.
The figure looks at me with disbelief and says in a deep voice "Child are you an idiot! I am not the pizza guy !"
"Well you could've said that earlier ! Wouldve saved you sooo much time. Well since your not the pizza guy im gonna go back inside." I slowly close the door and he places his boney hand and stops it.
"Child do you not understand your facing with death at the moment right ?" He replies
I let out a laugh "Please the only death im facing is hunger at this point. I bet your not even the grimm reaper" I open the door wider and grab his scythe. "See its not heavy at all" I hold it up high in the air.
His eyes widen at me in disbelief and grabs the scythe "Child this is not a toy ! It can kill you in seconds ! Your lucky your even still alive !"
I roll my eyes at him and stand at the door way. "So what do you want ?"
"At this point a break away from you. But listen kid I don't know who or what the heck you are but somehow your name is no longer on the list !" He yells.
When is the pizza gonna get here ? "Great im not on the list which means you can leave me alone and I can wait for my pizza."
"What is up with you and pizza !!!!" He yells
"If you were hungry as I am you would want pizza too." I glare at him.
He simply shakes his head at me and mutters "Humans are such idiots!"
"Im not just any idiot, im an idiot when im hungry." I reply back with sass.
"Here how about you wait here and we can talk after I get pizza, deal ?"
"Deal, Anything to get this over with."
We both sit at the couch and watch tv while I wait for the pizza.
"Omg this is my favorite show." I turn up the volume while he sighs at me.
After a while the pizza man shows up. "Thank you!"I pay him and grab the pizza. He looks at the figure next to me and quickly drives away.
I grab the pizza and hand it to the figure "Here" I hand it to him.
He takes the pizza and takes a bite from it. "Omg this pizza is to die for!"
"I know right !" I reply taking a bite.
After realizing what he says he grabs the chart and looks that the pizza and me.
"Are you serious ??? No wonder !!! All because of this stupid pizza !" He gets up and storms out of the house.
"Bye. " I waive at him and watch my dad arrive.
He walks up and greets me with a hug and sits down and eat the left over pizza.
"How were the boys ?" He asks.
"They're sleeping upstairs" I reply.
"Anything weird today while I was out ?"
"Nope !" I reply "Gonna get some sleep."
"Okay" my dad replies
After a long night I finally go to sleep and get some decent rest.
