"We have to do something... We can't just be sitting around the house all day. We need a vacation but we have no money and these two don't like anything... This is ridiculous!" Quinn paced back and forth across the tile floor.

"Talking to yourself again, Ginger?" Astro walked into the kitchen.

"Oh, look. He's emerged from his cave." Quinn looked over at the boy as he sat down at the kitchen table.

"Um… It's called my room, Mom. Geez."

"I….." Quinn stared at Astro for a moment before sighing.

"Oh god, he's sighing. In that tone. I better get outta here before he roasts my ass." Astro said to himself as he stood up and backed out of the kitchen.

"Ah!" He felt something behind him. He had lived in the apartment long enough to know it wasn't a wall. He looked up to see Finian standing behind him, looking down at him.

"AH! Nerdo! Ginger's being weird do something about it. Thanks. Bye. And uh… don't die."

"Hmm?" Finn looked confused as he saw Astro run to his room.

He turned his head to face Quinn. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes..."

"Oh. Nevermind then." Finn swung around and walked back the way he came.

"Wait. What? HEY! WAIT!" Quinn walked towards Finian but was too late as the man had already walked back into his office.

Quinn sighed again and sat down at the table.

"Guess I'm on my own with this one..." He tapped his fingers on the wooden tabletop as he began to think aloud.

"Where could we go…. Where could we go…."

"The beach? No no. That's a bad idea…. Astro doesn't like being outside for too long, especially when it hot and sandy… Besides, I can imagine Finian now, chasing after us making sure we've slathered on a gallon of SPF 1000 for the 4th time that hour and gluing swimmies to our arms…."

"Maybe we can go downtown? Maybe not. There isn't much in this City and we've been shopping so much it feels like a chore now. We've been to the park so many times too… It's so small compared to Metro City's."

"Oh! What about Metro City?... No. That's stupid what am I thinking… None of us want to go back there…." Quinn shuddered at the thought.

"Is there anything we can do!?" He cried out in frustration before noticing his phone.

"Hmm…." He laid his head down on the table as he googled 'interesting things to do in underground city'.

"The museum? I had no idea there was a museum! Finn would love that!" He lifted his head up and grinned with pride but his smile soon faded. "But Astro would find it boring and complain and end up ruining the whole trip for him…. That leaves out the library too…."

Quinn continued to scroll through his phone.

"There's an aquarium a not too far outside of the city… Maybe that's a little too far… Astro wouldn't be able to take such a long ride. Finn has that irrational fear of clownfish anyways… They're plastered everywhere around those places thanks to..." Quinn looked around before whispering, "Nemo..."

"Oh. There's a mini-golf course about 30 minutes away. That's perfect!" Quinn slammed his phone down on the table. "It'll be a fun challenge for Finn to try and get a hole-in-one every time. And Astro… well, I don't know what Astro thinks of mini-golf… But he's never said anything bad about it!"

"YES! EVERYONE WINS! IT'LL BE SO MUCH FUN! YAAAAYYYYYY!" Quinn stood up and jumped up and down in glee.

"Um. Is he ok?" Astro looked over at Finian, who was hiding with him behind a wall.

"Probably." Finn shrugged.

"I guess that's better than a no…" Astro looked back towards Quinn.

"Don't die!" He whispered, trying not to give away Finn's and his position.

He looked over at Finn again to see him smiling at his husband.

"Welp. Someone's getting laid tonight…. And it ain't me…."
