Take My Hand And Lead Me Somewhere New, chapter 2

"Um, one pepperoni, and one four cheese with... Tre, are you sure this is what you want?"

"Um hmm," Tre beamed as I read to the pizza guy his odd order.

"One four cheese with ham, anchovies, tuna fish, extra peppers and, doughnut sprinkles?" Tre shot me a look that could have killed, as if I had just insulted his religion or something. "Yes, doughnut sprinkles. Right, thanks."

I sat on the couch just as Tre put the movie in the player.
"This is funny."
"Tre, it's the Exorcist. It's probably one of the most disturbing, non-porno movies ever made."
"No it's not..."

*20 Minutes Later*

"TURN IT OFF BILLIE, TURN IT OFF!"

"I thought you said it was funny, the most hilarious film ever made." Tre gave me the same look he gave me when I questioned his choice of pizza topping. At that moment the doorbell rang.

"Ah, pizza's here. Hey, drum boy, your jerk-off pizza has arrived."
"That'll be $20 please." The pizza delivery guy was not his usual cheery self.
"Hey man, something wrong?"
"Just got kicked out of my band. Like hell I'm too punk. Those kids need their heads checking."
"What do you play?"
"Bass, dude."
I looked over at Tre.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Tre smiled.
"Yeah, these anchovies were a mistake."
"What's your name?"
"I'm Mike Pritchard. But my friends call me Mike Dirnt."
"You want to join us for pizza? I mean, we got the Exorcist out."
"I am not watching that. I'm Tre. Not Trerrified."
"You will watch that film if it kills you. I paid five dollars to rent that piece of shit."

At this point, Mike smlied.
