 ===== Plot ===== ===== Plot =====
 +
 +[[sam]] welcomes the citizens of Dot City to the official ribbon cutting ceremony for Dot City Spaghetti. Sam attempts to welcome [[rondot|Mayor Ron Dot]] to kick-off the day's festivities, but is told that he is running a bit late. Sam welcomes restaurant owner [[enzo]] to the podium instead, who talks about his longtime dream to open a place like Dot City Spaghetti, and gushes about the quality of the various Italian foods the restaurant will serve including spaghetti, pizza, and lasagna. [[cloud]] is shown sleeping during Chef Enzo's speech. Sam leaves to find the mayor, but not before welcoming [[baxter]] to the podium. Baxter proceeds to give a very short speech, leading Enzo to come back up and assure everyone that Sam will be able to find the mayor.
 +
 +While Sam is looking for the mayor, the citizens of Dot City speculate on the mayor's whereabouts, with several people noting he was last seen at the grocery store the day prior. One person noted the mayor had asked the fishmonger where the pickles were, noting the oddity of asking the fishmonger that. Cloud wakes up and asks "What is a fishmonger?", before Baxter tells everyone to settle down. Sam continues to look for the mayor, peeking into the windows of places like the barber shop and the post office. In the meantime, Baxter welcomes Cloud to the podium, who wastes everyone's time and proceeds to say nothing of value.
 +
 +Eventually, Sam makes it to the mayor's resident, who tells him to "go away". Sam goes inside to ask Ron what's wrong, and Ron confesses that he is afraid of scissors, begging Sam to not make him hold "those pointy nightmares". Sam has an idea, suggesting that he, the mayor, Baxter, [[mel]], Cloud, and Chef Enzo all hold the scissors together as a team, so the mayor doesn't have to do it alone.
 +
 +Cutting back to the ceremony, Mayor Ron Dot thanks Sam for helping him face his fears, as well as Chef Enzo for all the future bowls of spaghetti. After a count of three, the team successfully cuts the ribbon, officially opening Dot City Spaghetti. Sam tells the citizens, who already have spaghetti in their hands, to "fire up those pots and pans! It's spaghetti time!"
