Nate sat in his apartment bored out of his mind. He looked at the clock which read 6:30 PM. His stomach growled, signalling he needed to eat something. He didn't want to cook anything, since he needed to go to the store, and he'd rather save what he had left for an emergency. As he took a sip from his soda bottle, he decided to order a pizza.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number. As he waited for the answer, the mouse hummed a little tune.

"Thank you for calling Furtown Pizza," he heard on the other end. "This is Arinel speaking. How may I help you?"

"Hello Arinel," Nate responded. "I'd like to place an order for a large pepperoni pizza."

"Sure thing! Can I have your name and address?"

"You bet! My name is Nate Bowler, and my address is 412 Mouse Way."

"Alright, sir; your pizza should be there in about 30 minutes. Have $15 ready at the door when it arrives, and thanks again for choosing Furtown Pizza!"

Nate hung up the phone with a smile on his face. Whoever this Arinel girl was, she sure knew how to treat a customer. However, he was brought back to his current situation as his stomach growled again. "Ugh," the mouse groaned. "It's gonna be a long half hour..."
