i_disappear Pizza Raid! (Harley, Open)
The two of them had left Darien's apartment, and walked down a few of the changing streets before finding a pizza place nestled in a small shopping center. It was one of those places that looked like it was a chain restaurant, decorated in bright colors and complete with a cheesy Italian mascot. As far as he was concerned, it was a lot better than being out on the street in the perpetual cloudy weather, glaring colors notwithstanding.
"Here we are," he said as they went up to the entrance, holding the door open for Harley. It felt like it was warmer inside the place, too, which was an added plus. "You said something about getting meat lover's earlier?" Darien, through some stroke of bad luck, hadn't noticed the flare gun she had in her pocket. He was currently oblivious to the fact that she might be planning something. He just hadn't considered it, really.

Harley was bouncey. She liked bright colors. And this place had plenty of that. It also had the hot smell of cheese and meat and sauce.
"And the pepperoni has to make a smiley face." She bounced right up to the counter and hopped onto it on her stomach, leaning over to snag an apron string and get someone's attention.
"Heya, little service here. I'm starving and I don't like to play on an empty stomach."

Darien ambled after Harley up to the counter, putting his hands in his pockets. He didn't mind her doing the ordering, since he wasn't picky about pizza toppings anyway. "Make sure to get mushrooms on it," he said, standing a short distance behind her.
The woman behind the counter turned, surprised enough by Harley for her look of boredom to disappear for a few moments. "Yes, ma'am, how may I help you? We have a special, buy two pizzas and get five off on the price of the second one."

She tilted her head first to one side, and then the other, pony tails bouncing. But then shook her head. "Nope. I want what I want. And what I want is a meat lover's special with the pepperoni looking like a great big smile and the mushrooms making him look like a pimply faced teenager."
Harley kicked her legs a bit and slid down off the counter to bounce on the balls of her feet. She turned around to glance at Darien, pouting a bit.
"Don't worry. I've grown to like my vegetables. I practically had to."

"Had to?," Darien asked with a slight grimace. "That's sad. I usually managed to get out of it." The wonders of avoiding adult supervision. Liking veggies hadn't happened until he had gotten older, and more concerned about what he was eating.
Meanwhile, the woman working the counter punched some numbers into the cash register. "Okay, ma'am, that'll be ten fifty for a medium, or twelve eighty-five for a large. Would you like drinks with that?"

Harley glanced back at Darien. "No, not too sad. Red's my best friend." She bounced on her toes, moving a bit to music only she could hear. "She likes the veggie special."
She turned back around when the cashier spoke again and looked at the woman as if she were stupid. "Large of course, how else is the smile gonna be big enough ?"
