Manic handed Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong both a King Shake Strawberry. "Here you go, you two. Enjoy your milkshakes." He told the monkey couple with a smile.
Diddy and Dixie smiled back. "Thanks, mister! We really appreciate the service you and your co-workers put into each and every meal you make!" Diddy complimented.
Manic chuckled and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, we aim to give our customers the kind of quality that they've come to expect." He explained.
"Well, it definitely shows in the end product! Our compliments!" Dixie complimented as well before she and Diddy sat down at a table to start drinking their milkshakes. Manic smiled as he was happy to have two more happy customers served today.
Sonic, who saw everything walked over to Manic and gave him a pat on the back. "You did a good job on those milkshakes, Manic. My compliments, bro." He complimented as well.
Manic smiled at Sonic. "Thanks, bro. Milkshakes are my favorite thing to make at Burger King, besides burgers. I always make them just for each individual customer, and as you can see, they really enjoy them." He replied as leaned against the counter.
Sonic smiled and nodded. "I can definitely see that. Well, I'm gonna for a quick run through the city, so I'll be right back. Sally's in charge while I'm gone." He told Manic before zipping out of the restaurant, and into the city of Lelystad. Manic just chuckled and went back to serving customers.
Later, around dinner time, Sally, Ezekiel and Manic were in the kitchen together as Sonic was having a meeting with Sonia and Big in the office. They were scrolling through their Twitter feed for a bit, answering messages they got on Twitter from friends or fans who read The Burger Kings. As they were doing so, the Chaotix, Vector, Espio, Charmy and Mighty entered the restaurant.
Sally, Ezekiel and Manic noticed this and put their phones away. "Hey, guys. Welcome to Burger King. What can we get you?" Sally asked the Chaotix with her iconic light smile.
Vector grinned. "Hey, guys! I'd like a Double Steakhouse with Twister Fries with a side of barbecue sauce and a King Shake Banana!" He replied, placing his order.
"I'll have a Veggie King with King Fries with a side of ketchup and a King Shake Chocolate." Espio said, placing his order.
"I'll have a Whopper Jr. with Chicken Nuggets with a side of mayonaise and a King Shake Vanilla!" Charmy buzzed happily, placing his order.
"And I'll have a Fish King with King Wings with a side of ketchup and a King Shake Strawberry." Mighty said, placing his order.
Sally nodded before printing out the receipt. "So, who's paying tonight?" She then asked with a slight giggle.
"Espio!" Vector, Charmy and Mighty exclaimed in unison.
"What? Again?" Espio sighed before paying for the food. "Okay, okay...But next time, Vector is paying. It's always my turn to pay.
"Espio, you know that I don't like spending my money, for fuck's sake." Vector replied with a serious look on his face.
"And I don't possess much money myself, because you guys never pay me for the detective work we do." Charmy pointed out.
"I don't even know why I never pay. I guess I'm just used to other people paying for me." Mighty shrugged.
"Whatever. I'm getting tired of always paying for your food. Next time, one of you guys is paying, and that's final." Espio grumbled.
Sally giggled. "Calm down, guys. We'll make sure that Vector is gonna end up paying next time." She assured Espio, causing Vector to groan. Ezekiel and Manic had gone into the kitchen to start working on the guys' meals in the meantime, with Manic starting to work on the milkshakes first.
"Y'know, Manic really makes some mean shakes. It's one of the reasons we keep coming back to this place." Vector laughed as he watched Manic make the milkshakes.
Sally giggled. "Yeah, his milkshakes are the best, aren't they? Everyone loves Manic's milkshakes, because he always makes them to each individual customer's liking. It draws in customers from all over the Netherlands, and the foreign tourists who come to the city also line up to get a taste of those shakes." She explained.
Espio lightly chuckled. "Yep. I always enjoy one of Manic's shakes, no matter how much I drink." He replied as everyone was watching Manic making the milkshakes.
