The car crashed into the bronze statue, knocking it down. Getting out of the car, Sweetpea cursed under his breath. Setting the pizza box down, he quickly put the statue back into an upright position. He then grabbed the pizza box and took it with him to the front door. Seeing a note with instructions, he read them making his way to the back of the house. There, he knocked on the back door.

"Who's there?" a gruff man's voice demanded.

"It's Parakeet Pizza sir," Sweetpea chirped, "I have your cheese pizza here." Fast forwarding the movie, Tiny hit the play button just in time as the dog ordered, "Good. Leave it on the doorstep and get the heck out of here." Bewildered, Sweetpea set the pizza box down on the doorstep. Clearing his throat, he pointed out, "You need to pay for your pizza sir."

"How much?"

"Ten dollars sir."

Fast forwarding the movie again, Tiny reached through the doggie door and set a ten dollar bill on the pizza box. Backing away, he pressed play. "Keep the change you filthy animal," the dog on the TV spoke. Tiny then quickly backed up the movie before hitting play, laughing quietly to himself. Outside, Sweetpea took the money just as the gruff man began talking again, "You have until I count to ten to get outta here!" Sweetpea's eyes widened as the man continued, "One, two, ten!"

Gunshots followed.

Stumbling backwards, Sweetpea accidentally knocked down two trash cans and fell over them. Scrambling to his taloned feet, the frightened parakeet ran for his life. Gunshots continued to ring out, joined by maniacal laughter. Getting into his car, Sweetpea slammed his foot down on the gas pedal and drove away.

Opening the back door, Tiny smiled triumphantly as he picked up the pizza box and declared, "A lovely cheese pizza just for me."
