Never turn down free pizza

"I got a new job," says Albert a bit happy at the reveal, "Just started today, I was so excited I guess I forgot to call and tell you." You sigh in relief, at least nothing bad has happened, "Don't do that to me in future, I thought Carla had come back or something." you say, "What about Fred, have you heard from him?" you ask, still woried about the ex-wolf fox. "Oh, he's here, he sort of showed up earlier when he couldn't find the gym." Says Albert. "Wait, Fred is with you? and Neither of your thought to call?" you say, now feeling a bit hurt. "I'm sorry, I wasn't really expecting it at the time. Tell you what, head over and I'll teat you." he says apologetically. "Treat me to what? Where are you?" you ask.

"Unbelievable." you say to yourself looking at the sign you had walked away from this morning. The pizzarie sits there with it's logo lit up in the evening light, and now you can see that Albert is behind the counter, waving at you. Sighing you walk through the door, spoting Fred in one of the booths, chowing down on a slice. You walk up to the counter to Albert, who looks at you amazed, "Wow, you lost all that in one day!? That's got to be a record. Here, on the house to celebrate!" he says, pushing a pizza box your way. Your mouth waters at the smell.

"So what gives, I'd never peg you going into fast food." you ask, opening the box and looking at the pepperoni pizza with all it's inticing smells and toppings. "Well... I kinda have been struggling with finances for a while, I had a part time position at the gym, but when this guy offered me twice what I was making... well, no brainer." Says Albert, shaking his thumb at the back room, where you see a lion in a bakers uniform kneading dough. "Don't worry, I'll still be going to the gym after work," he says, "Just after my shift."

"Well... umph, make sure you do," you say, as you give in and begin eating a slice, "Everyone will start asking questions if you suddenly disappear... Oh god this is good!" you say, as the taste overflows your mouth, "Man, what does he put in this, it s great!" you say, quickly taking slice after slice and scarfing them down. "Greg said it's a secret family recipe, he won't tell me until I've been here a while." says Albert, and he wispers to you, "At the end of the day, anything that isn't sold is tossed out, so I can snag a few at the end of a shift. Awesome right, I figure I'll send you one and Fred one every oncein a while."

"That is very generous, but..." you say, feeling for the next slice in the piza box, only to find crumbs left over. "It's no problem, anyway, you'll need the carbs if your going to build up again," he says, "You look as skinny as a rake." you look at yourself and realize he is right, your hippo form had fat to burn and build into muscle, but now you're plain skinny. "Well, once in a while should be ok," you say...
