So Pizza Boy and Sominod gave the women more…
pizza, coupons for $1 off their next order (if made this month), and a year’s subscription to “Dentistry Today” magazine.
The nun/clown/demolition expert/etc. was outraged and impatient with what she saw. She hurled the holy water bottle, which glanced off the Pizza Boy’s still-purple forehead. “And now the grenade!” she said, pulling the pin.
John turned back into a newt, this time permanently. “Damn”, he said in Newtish. The broadsword clattered to the ground, making a discordant sound which spoiled the aim of the nun as she threw the grenade. It exploded in the alley right next to the bag of poodle fur, which flew up into the air.
The Pizza Boy started sneezing again. The nun saw the newt which had been John and ran away in horror, recalling a childhood newt-related trauma.
Sonimod, meanwhile, had quietly walked up to the front door, knocked and been invited inside.
“Uncle Nismodo!” he exclaimed.
“Sonimod?” said his uncle confusedly. “I guess it must be you; the other guy didn’t-- Hmm.” He stared at Sonimod questioningly. “The fat man barks at midnight.”
“The dodo watches the dam” replied Sonimod.
“Ah, it is you!” said his uncle. “Good thing. Well, now we can finish our plan of stealing all of this planet’s hydropower and bringing it home to Planet Ismondo.”
“Where we can use it to power millions of slide shows!”
“Nothing can stop us now, except maybe a spore cloud! Buwahahaha!”
“Buwahahaha!”
