Sonia, Manic, Sally and Ezekiel were happily working the kitchen and the registers while Sonic was in the office doing some paperwork for the business. With Shadow having been trialed in court, he's been found guilty of first degree dupery, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. This made Sonia and Manic very happy, because they wouldn't have to deal with Shadow's antics anymore. Manic had also put up the yellow Chaos Emerald he stole from Shadow up in the kitchen as a trophy, keeping it under a glass bell.
"Aaaah, feels great to finally be free of Shadow's dupery, isn't it, brother?" Sonia asked Manic with a smile.
"You know it, sis. Now we can finally get our work done without him constantly conning us." Manic replied with a smile as he got ready to serve his next customer: Patrick Star. "Welcome to Burger King. How may I help you today, sir?" He kindly asked Patrick.
"Uhhhh...One Triple Whopper with extra cheese, please." Patrick replied, placing his order.
"Anything else?" Manic asked, keeping his smile.
"No, that's it." Patrick replied as he paid for his food.
Manic nodded and he printed Patrick's receipt and handed it to him. "Okay, here's your receipt. Come pick up the food when it's ready." He told Patrick, who nodded and sat down on a stool as he waited for his food. Patrick had Number 082.
"One Triple Whopper with extra cheese, guys." Manic told Sally and Ezekiel as he went into the kitchen.
Ezekiel smiled. "One Triple Whopper with extra cheese, coming up, homes!" He replied as he got to work immediately.
Sally and Manic smiled at each other. "It seems he really enjoys working here, don't you think?" Manic asked Sally.
Sally smiled and nodded. "He sure does. Most teens of his age hate working at fast food restaurants, but he enjoys working here and he especially enjoys working with us." She replied.
"That's what I like to see: People who enjoy working at Burger King and working with the people that also work there." Sonia added.
The next day, Manic and Sonic were at the restaurant together before opening time. Sonic had a troubled look on his face, and Manic could notice this. "Hey, what's wrong, bro?" Manic asked his cobalt blue brother.
"Well, I have a bit of a problem, Manic. You see, today I'm manager of this Burger King restaurant for 5 years, and I wanted to throw a party to celebrate it today, but I don't know what to do at that party." Sonic replied, keeping the troubled look as he scratched his head.
Manic frowned. He didn't like seeing his brother at a loss, so he began thinking alongside him before getting an idea. "I got an idea, Sonic! How about we have a happy hour every hour of opening time where you can get a discount on a random menu item every hour? I'm sure the customers would love that!" Manic suggested.
Sonic grinned at Manic. "Manic, you're a genius! Let's do that at our party today! I'm glad to have such a smart cookie for a brother!" He happily told Manic as he hugged his green brother. Manic smiled, being happy that Sonic accepted his suggestion.
