Hot Delivery
Starring: Flint (OC), Lifty and Shifty
Co-Starring: Lumpy, Petunia, Cuddles, Toothy, The Mole, Russell
The episode starts at the exterior of a Pizza Restaurant, with the logo of Lumpy eating a pizza slice. Flint then goes in as Cuddles left the establishment on his phone, which he then enters the employee locker room and puts on a cap and shirt with a tag on the upper left chest with the word ‘Flint’ on it. Upon leaving the locker room, Lumpy called him over and asked him to deliver pizza to two customers, which Flint replied with a thumbs up.
He then left the restaurant through a ‘Staff Only’ door, where he saw a motorised scooter with stacks of pizza placed and strapped on the back. He then sat on the scooter and turned on the miniature engine before driving off to the first address, unaware that Lifty and Shifty saw the stacks of pizza and made their traditional chuckles before pursuing him.
Flint then arrived to the first address and grabbed a specific pizza box before approaching the door, not aware that a couple of brotherly thieves were closing in on the scooter. He then pressed the doorbell and the door opened to show Petunia answering; he then gave her order with a broad smile, which the female skunk said “Thank you!” as she took her order, before giving the male fox a 10 dollar tip.
As he took the fairly generous tip with a flattered expression, Petunia pointed at the Pizza Scooter with a startled expression, which Flint turns around and they both witness Lifty and Shifty taking off on the scooter while chuckling. Flint then yelled at them and ran after them, which Petunia shrugged and closed the door.
Lifty is driving the scooter as Shifty peeked into each box, with an understandably drooling look. He then closed one with the Hawaiian Pizza, when he saw Flint running after them with a cheesed expression. Shifty chuckled and taunted the red fox; as he was doing this, Lifty looked at the right side mirror and saw a brief flame leaving the red fox’s right eye.
As Shifty continued to taunt, Lifty said while looking away from the road “Uh… Bro?” Shifty is verbally shouting repeatedly “Nee-Ner-Nee-Ner-Nee-Ner!” when he was forcefully nudged by his brother. Lifty then shouted “Bro!” as Shifty responded “What? What is it?” Lifty pointed at Flint, before he and Shifty looked and said simultaneously with a shocked expression “Uh Oh.”
Flint is rushing at them, his teeth sharply bared as he panted and growled angrily with his eyes and both his tuft and tail tip smoking heavily. Lifty tried to accelerate away, but Flint’s eyes, tuft and tail tip lit up in red flames, before he grabbed a loose manhole cover and engulfed it in flames before throwing it like a discus.
Lifty ducked his head just before the cover sliced through Shifty’s head, exposing half of his brain, muscles, veins and skull as blood squirted out, before he fell off from the scooter. Lifty looked back at Flint, then at the Pizza Boxes, before making a chuckle since he’s got more to eat now.
He didn’t noticed that he was approaching a wet patch of asphalt until the front of the scooter stopped dead and he was flung a few feet face first into the wet road. He was about to push himself up from the wet asphalt, when Flint placed his right palm on the asphalt and significantly increased the temperature, causing the asphalt Lifty was in to bubble and boil rapidly. The raccoon screamed, which is muffled from the wet asphalt before his body was lit ablaze before turning into a crisp.
Flint looked at the burnt corpse, before he noticed the pizza boxes were further down the road. Extinguishing the fire from his body and eyes, Flint looked worried about the orders and went over to where they were, avoiding the asphalt for the sidewalk.
He then hesitated to take a step on the asphalt, before he took a deep breath and braved a step; realising that it was hardened asphalt, he sighed in relief before getting the orders. After peering into each box, he was surprised that, despite being flung over about a quarter of a block in the air, the pizzas were still intact with only a few pieces of ham or pineapple landed besides the pizza bases.
He then checked the second ordered address, which has Cuddles’s Photo attached to it. As Flint looked over the photo, he realised that he was AT the address, which has blaring music inside.
He then approached the door and, aware that the doorbell would be moot against the blaring tunes, rapped on the door. It opened to show Cuddles answering, with The Mole playing ‘Pin The Tail’ in the background as Toothy and Russell having a drink off. Cuddles then looked past Flint and his orders and saw the scene; as Flint looked behind, he gritted his teeth and explained to the rabbit what happened. Although he was horrified at what happened, Cuddles knew that Flint is devoted to his occupation and is admittedly impressed with his proficiency with fire.
As Flint gave Cuddles his order, his pager went off and checked to see that he just got fired. As he made a dissatisfied “Aww!”, Cuddles was brandishing a 20 dollar note with a confused expression. Flint then explained of his sudden reaction, which Cuddles looked pitiful at the male fox. He then looked at the party happening, before he asked Flint if he’d like to join the party. Flint gave it a thought, before he accepted the offer; Cuddles escorted him inside as he shouted “Pizza’s Here!”, which the other guests, save for The Mole, who jumped for joy, whooped in joy.
Back at the Pizza Restaurant, Lumpy realised that he mistakenly fired Flint. As he was putting a message together, he mistakenly pulled the gas line out; as he leant on the stove to send the message, he turned it on and the stove ignition made a spark, which sets off the gas and blew up the restaurant, with Lumpy’s Antlers landing on the asphalt before the episode ended.
