Another Busy Day

After Ruby, Jade, and Lucinda left the Java Lava, Sofia saw Chuckie stretching his arms as more customers arrived.

"Oh man! What a total zoo!" Kimi exclaimed, noticing the long line of customers coming through the Java Lava's doors.

Chuckie saw the same woman who dumped her hot Triple Cappadappa Chino all over him just before Sofia and Tommy arrived at the Java Lava on Sofia's first day back in California.

"Oh no," Chuckie said with a groan in his voice. "not Missus Gomez again!"

"Who's Missus Gomez?" Sofia asked Chuckie.

The woman cleared her throat loudly as a sign of impatience, "I would like to order." she said.

"What would you like, Ma'am?" Sofia asked Mrs. Gomez.

"I would like a mug of triple dark chocolate hot chocolate with mint and cinnamon in it to go." Mrs. Gomez ordered.

After she got her triple dark chocolate hot chocolate the way she wanted it, Mrs. Gomez paid for it and left the Java Lava.

Charles and Kira looked down at their niece and smiled proudly.

"Thanks, Sofia." Kira said.

"You saved our business, Sofia!" Charles agreed.

"Anytime, Aunt Kira, Uncle Charles." Sofia said.

Charles and Kira gladly hugged Sofia with pride.
