The phone ringing brought Penelope Hudson out of her pizza dough induced trace. She sighed before putting on her customer service voice.

Mack's Pizza.
Home of the peppiest
servers in town.
This is Penelope , how can
i help you?

Uhhh yeah can I get a
SHUT UP IM ORDERING
sorry

pepperoni pizza" god that's hard
to say

Bread" for only $2 more?

Okay that will be $23.67.
Where will this be
delivered to?

Room 413 at the Warwick
Hotel downtown

Our driver will be there

Okay thank you.

•••••••••

Penelope trudged up to room 413 while holding the hot box of pizzas and knocked four times. Behind the door she could hear lots of commotion, but nobody answered the door. She knocked again and again but still no answer.

"Hey asshats I have your pizzas. Just open the door whenever, I totally don't have other stuff to do!"

The door flew open and there stood a girl and a guy with sheepish looks on their faces.
"Hey sorry we were a little busy..."

Penelope looked at them dumbfounded, "Listen I don't care about your sex life, here's your pizza. I'll take my cash now." She shoved the pizza at them.

The couple stared at each other for a second before they busted out laughing. "Oh. My. God. I would rather die than date him. We're having a party with our friends."
The girl gasped through her words and settled down a bit.

The pizza delivery girl laughed and became significant less annoyed after hearing giggling coming from a grown man. "Okay but how can you guys afford to have a party in a hotel room? Are you like trust-fund kids or something?"

The guy stared at her wide eyed for a moment before speaking slowly. "Not to be rude or anything but do you seriously not know who we are? We're kind of famous... Do you not watch Netflix or something?"

Penelope motioned to her uniform, "I work for a pizza place, do you really think I can afford Netflix?" she checked her watch before continuing. "I would love to stay and chat but I have other deliveries, so can we move this along?"

Both of them began apologizing before the man reached into his pocket and pulled out $25. Penelope glared at him before spitting out angrily. "For people who claim to be celebrities, you can't tip for shit."

      Penelope waltzed her way downtown with her head in her phone when out of the blue she smacked into a figure that sent them both on the ground in a heap.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Penelope scrambled off of the person and held out her hand. "I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going."

The girl grabbed Penelope's hand and stood up, "Hey! You delivered our pizzas yesterday! Sorry about the tip, Joe though he gave you a twenty and a tenner. I'm Natalia Dyer by the way."

"I'm Penelope Hudson, but most people just call me Penny or P. And the tip thing is all good, I'm used to getting sucky tips." Penelope picked up Natalia's bags and handed them to her when Natalia's phone buzzed.

Natalia checked the message before turning to Penelope, "This is a lot to ask but... I was wondering if you could help me get back to the hotel? I went out to pick up some stuff and now I can't find my way back."

Of course Penelope agreed because Natalia was one of the sweetest people she had ever met. They exchanged phone numbers and social media and the rest is history.
