Happy Ficlet Friday! This is part 8 of the Pizza Run Series.

This chapter lives here.
Full TOC here.

Thank you to everyone who's been reading and replying!
I want to go back and reply to so many of those (and I likely will!), but I'm not letting myself do anything else until I finish my story for the Location Challenge, which was a much heavier lift than I'd originally planned (because of course it was, lol). So I'm desperately craving your FDK for Pizza Run as I cheat on this story, primarily writing for another. lol Speaking of which, this series will be on hold for a couple of weeks in August while I finish and post that. Then maybe a little break before I head back here. But the next entry is written and the 3 after that are planned. It will wrap up shortly after that (I think). But I think what you've all been waiting for is coming up soon. wink

No beta on this one, so any mistakes are my own! I don't mind having them pointed out, since I'll plan to submit this to the archive. And of course, any other comments are really just kind encouragement to send me into the next part!

Thanks for reading!

Looking forward to this summer's Location Challenge! Looks like stories are due around August 1st, and then polls open for voting!

And don't forget about the 2026 fundraiser! Head over to the Fundraising page to donate or consider adding a story to the Keepsake Collection fundraising drive!
