**deep breath** I gotta act calm, natural...don’t draw suspicion. If she asks, I was out with some old college friends. **door opening** Honey I’m home! **door closing**
(Veggie Calzone) **a distance away** You’re home late, I don’t have dinner ready yet, though. While you wait, my father wants to talk to you the study.
**gulp** Th-Three Cheese Calzone is hear?
(Veggie Calzone) **a distance away** Oh come now, we are family, no need to be so formal. You act as if he eats ponies, he doesn’t bite.
**hyperventilating** I should shut it off. I was just gonna test it at dinner.
(Three Cheese Calzone) Test what at dinner?
**panicked yelp** Uh...um...a new cake recipe...for um...my old namesake.
(Three Cheese Calzone) While I do enjoy Pineapple Upside-down Cake, whatever my daughter makes will be lovely. Perhaps you can try the recipe at the party next week. Now come, let's talk in private.
**30 seconds of trotting**door opening**door closing**Magic sound**
(Three Cheese Calzone) No need to scan for bugs, I’ve already seen to that.

Th-that was a j-joke. Heh.
(Three Cheese Calzone) **jubilant laughter**

I can do that, y-yes.
(Three Cheese Calzone) Good, good. I like your spirit. Perhaps you could be a good fit for our company after all.
(Veggie Calzone) **a distance away** Dad, Piney, Dinner’s ready!
(Three Cheese Calzone) We’ll talk more after dinner.
\\**//SILENCE\\**//
(Three Cheese Calzone) Nice bowtie, it looks good on ya. Where’d you get it?
**gulp** Uh...it was a gift from a cousin.
(Three Cheese Calzone) Which cousin?
Oh...um...it was...Red...Velvet...Yes, Red Velvet.
