Little Nero's Delivery Service

Instructions

Welp i rushed this. Little Nero's Delivery service. Every Tuesday morning, Maxi goes to work. He was a delivery driver, actually among the Five percent of delivery drivers who manage to deliver the package to the door, (not dropping it off in the middle of the driveway.) This Particular Tuesday Morning was a frosty one, The park bench fences had lights strung up, And half of which were tangled or had some frozen Bird droppings on them (Ick!). Luckily all the birds have left on their migration, so Maxi, This morning did not need to worry about the potential bombing that could occur. But he should have worried about the Ice. He took a step forward, unfortunately his foot landed on Black Ice. The kind which looks like water. Except water makes you wet, But if you step on this Black Ice, It makes you see stars. And not the kind that are in the sky. After maxi's small slip, he dusted himself off and walked into his pizza shop *Little Nero's Pizza* was buzzing on a neon sign which hurt to look at for long periods of time, so maxi hustled in to the shop. "Maxi!" shouted a voice from behind the counter, "I fell off my step stool!" "*Marlin* i thought you worked night shift!" Maxi responded, listening for marlins small voice to perk up again. "I was! until i fell! and now i cant get up! my walking stick is on the opposite wall!" marlin exclaimed just As maxi started walking to the counter and began to look just over the register to see timid old marlin, Standing at around 3 feet tall, sprawled on the floor, groping for his walking stick. Maxi climbed over the counter and picked up the *crowbar* that *marlin* used as his walking stick (After all, no store sold a walking stick for a 1 foot tall man.) *Marlin* groaned and stood up, clearly expressing pain in his back. As he hobbled his ways towards the oven. pulling out a pizza with the words 'For Santa' spelt out in pepperoni slices, which looked more like pieces of charcoal. with black paint on them. "We need this delivered to ummm...Santa..." *Marlin *muttered, looking at the sad mess. "Santa! Doesnt he live in like greenland or somewhere!" Maxi responded, quite loudly "Yes and i already booked your flight!" *Marlin* proudly announced "You are our delivery boy, go on!" *Marlin* shoved the pizza into maxi's hands. and Maxi started to the door, before realizing what was happening. "...What?..." Maxi muttered crinkling his eyebrows "...No... Go to Greenland! Hah nice one *marlin* but..." Marlin cut him off, *“You are what the French call “les incompétent”* Marlin proceded to grin, Showing off his *Golden tooth* and threw maxi a plane ticket scheduled for 9:00 AM which in fact was in a few minutes. And the airport was 30 or so minutes away. Soon Maxi forced outside of the pizza shop. Under that annoying buzzing light. He kicked the ground and sprinted to his motorcycle "*Im gonna be late for my flight!*" he exclaimed shakily, Driving down the icy road, as if his luck couldnt get worse, he hit what looked like a green piece of string on the road, and soon he was basically flying, as his motercycle wheels spun and tangled in what seemed to be a mess of *automatic house lights* strewn across the road. I assume we know what happened next. He crashed? He fell? what happened? Actually he seemed to levitate for a moment as if being dragged into the sky. It took him a moment to comprehend, but it seemed like the clouds were pulling the string lights up. Maxi screamed, holding on to the lights for his dear life. as some creatures swooped him onto a giant mass of what looked like a cloud, except it was solid. And Maxi was able to breath a sigh of relief, at least until a bunch of rain started tackling him. Not raindrops silly, Rain people, Rain bandits, *Wet bandits*. They tried to grab the pizza box, or the half of it that still remained, Perhaps they were just pizza fanatics but since they were rain, their arms seemed to just splash into water when they made contact with something. Maxi took this oppurtunity to try to untangle himself. And after a but of a struggle and a fight with literal water. (Trust me drowning is not fun). He arose victorious, and Wet. He grabbed the soggy box and started to back away, shouting insults at the *Wet Bandits*. The *Wet bandits* didnt seem to enjoy that, so they, With their legs "Floated" the thin *Automatic house lights* towards maxi. Attempting to grab him. Luckily Maxi was able to grab the houselights and "Unfloat" the wire. Dropping it off the cloud. "*You guys give up or ya thirsty for more*" Maxi said, slowly backing up, until he realized he was on a cloud It was too late. Maxi plummeted with a shriek, down the side of the cloud, watching as the wet bandits leaned over. Cackling with delight. It seemed like all was over, until he saw the string lights, dropped from the cloud, fall down, wrapping around the fence of a house, CONTINUED Notes and CREDITS
