The gang (minus Otto) took their usual seats at the counter. Val and Twister chose to sit side-by-side. Reggie smiled. He and Val looked very cute together.
"Aloha, little cuzzes," said a certain chubby Hawaiian. "Can I get you anything, or is this just a social call?"
"We'll all have the usual," said Reggie.
"Uh…what's her usual?" Tito asked, pointing to Val.
"I'll have a double cheese hula burger, small fries, and a chocolate shake, hold the whip."
"Coming right up," said Tito, saluting the kids.
Within fifteen minutes, all the orders were done. Twister tore into his immediately. When he finished (which was well before anyone else), he asked for another order of fries and a banana split.
"You have a big appetite today, Twist," Ray remarked as he scooped out ice cream.
"Well, I haven't eaten since breakfast," he explained.
The others shook their heads; the girls having the same thought: Twister might start looking like Sammy soon. After finishing the order of fries, Twister swiveled around, bracing his back against the edge of the counter.
"I think I ate too fast," he groaned.
Or too much, Reggie thought.
"Does that mean you don't want your sundae?" asked Sam.
"You can take it, Squid."
Val, after finishing her coffee sundae, decided to accompany Reggie and Sam on a roving report for The 'Zine. Twister said he'd catch up; he was going home to lie down for a while.
