It was a rainy night in Lelystad as things were quiet at the Lelystad train station's Burger King restaurant. Sonia and Bunnie were cleaning the restaurant windows while Manic was working the register. Sally and Ezekiel were in the kitchen and Sonic was sleeping in his office. Manic yawned as he had been working since early in the morning as he rested his head on his right hand.

"Man, why do we have to work when there's barely any customers at night?" Manic groaned.

"Yeah. Meanwhile, that husband of mine is lying on his ass and snoozing the final hours of the day away in his office." Sally pointed out.

"I know, he's slacking off while we're doing all the work out here, yo. It's outrageous." Ezekiel added.

Sonia sighed. "Sonic can be a bit of a dick sometimes. He's both our brother and our boss, and both brothers and bosses can be dicks sometimes." She pointed out.

"Don't worry, y'all. Ah'm sure we can get through the last hours of the work day." Bunnie assured everyone as a customer entered: It was the Cat in the Hat!

"Oh, hello, sir! Welcome to Burger King!" Manic happily greeted the Cat in the Hat as he walked up to the counter.

"Greetings! I'm the Cat in the Hat! As most of the people in the city snore, I make my return to this restaurant, for I have been here before!" The Cat in the Hat spoke.

"Oh, you've been here before? I don't recall that exactly..." Manic laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

"That's because you were too tired to remember." Sally giggled.

"Anyway, how may I help you?" Manic asked.

"Hmmmm...My tastebuds really sting for a Texas Bacon King. Also, some Twister Fries seem nice. And finally, a large Sprite to get through the night. I'd like all of that to go, for tonight I have another show." The Cat spoke, placing his order and paying for his food.

Manic nodded and handed the Cat his receipt. "Okay, here's your receipt. When the food is ready, come pick it up." He told the Cat before Sally and Ezekiel went to make the Cat's order.

The Cat nodded and sat down on a stool. "Very well, once the food is ready, I'll pick it up as if my name was Freddy, so when the moment is there, I'll be steady." He spoke.

"Is there any reason in particular you always speak in rhyme?" Manic asked the Cat.

"Since Dr. Seuss created me this way, I rhyme everything I say. Sometimes it's hard to find a rhyme, but I manage to succeed every time. Say, while we wait for my food to arrive, how about a trick that'll make you have the time of your life?" The Cat asked after explaining why he always talks in rhyme.

Manic raised an eyebrow. "Uhhhh, sure. I don't see why not." He replied.

The Cat in the Hat smiled. "Oh, goody! Let the fun begin, shall we?" He asked before he began making a mess around the restaurant.

"Dude, what the hell?! Can't you see we're trying to clean this place up to make it nice for customers?!" Sonia shouted at the Cat.

"Don't worry, Sonia, hun. Ah'm sure this kitty'll clean up the mess before he leaves." Bunnie assured him.

"I hope so, because I'm not planning on cleaning up the mess this guy is making." Manic replied. Soon after, the Cat finished making his mess.

"And the deed is done! Well, what did you think? Was that fun?" The Cat asked everyone.

"I don't see what's so fun about making a mess at someone else's property, but whatever floats your boat..." Sonia shrugged and sighed.

"Some people just have a weird way of makin' fun, ah guess." Bunnie shrugged.

"Apparently so." Manic chuckled.

"Food is ready!" Sally called. Manic nodded and packaged the Cat in the Hat's food and handed it to him.

"Here you go, sir. And uh, please clean up your mess before you go." Manic told the Cat.

The Cat smiled. "No worries, my friend. For I can clean up the mess I made in a jiffy like nothing happened." He replied as he proceeded to quickly clean up the mess he had just made. "Have a good night, alright?" He said as he left the restaurant with his food. Sonic soon came out of the office, yawning.

"Aaaah, that was a nice snooze...Did anything happen while I was out?" Sonic asked the others.

Manic chuckled. "Oh, nothing we couldn't handle..." He replied as he rubbed his quills sheepishly.
