Manic was just preparing a Double Cheeseburger for Knuckles as Bunnie was preparing Twister Fries for Knuckles. Knuckles' large Sprite was already waiting for him. "Is my order DONE already? I'm hungry as hell!" The crimson echidna yelled from his stool he was sitting on as he awaited his meal to be prepared.

"We're not as fast as Sonic is, alright? Be patient, Knux!" Manic told Knuckles as he had finished the crimson echidna's Double Cheeseburger and wrapped it up neatly.

"If you're expectin' your meal to be done within a milisecond, then you're outta your mind, hun." Bunnie told Knuckles as she finished the crimson echidna's Twister Fries. Manic and Bunnie then put the burger and fries on Knuckles' tray with the large Sprite.

"About time! You guys are unreasonably slow today!" Knuckles said as he swiped his tray of food from the counter and went to sit down at a table.

"I think you're being unreasonably impatient, you meatheaded shitsack." Manic scoffed at the crimson echidna before he felt Sonic smack him in the back of his head.

"Manic! You do NOT say that kind of stuff to our customers, no matter how impatient they may be!" Sonic scolded his brother while crossing his arms.

Manic sighed. "I know, Sonic. I don't know how I could've let those words slip out of my mouth. I'm a very bad employee." He replied to the cobalt blue hedgehog.

"Damn right. In fact, I'm going to punish you. I'm retracting half of your paycheck for this week, so you'll only get half of what you usually earn this week." Sonic replied back.

Manic sighed even deeper. "Yes, bro..." The green hedgehog muttered.

"Good. Now get back to work. Time is money, and my bills don't pay themselves." Sonic replied before he walked back to his office and shut the door behind him.

"Man, Sonic can be so unreasonable sometimes..." Manic sighed again.

"No kiddin', honey. Someone oughta teach that sugarhog a little respect. And 'tween you and me, I was thinkin' me and you oughta do it." Bunnie told Manic.

Manic's eyes widened. "And how were you gonna do that?" He asked the Southern cyborg rabbit.

"Well, ah overheard Sonic sayin' that there's a men's night at this here Burger King tonight. So, I was thinkin' of callin' in sick tonight and leavin' Sonic and Sally to do the evening shift all by themselves and deal with the busy night alone." Bunnie explained to Manic.

Manic grinned, his eyes glistening mischievously. "Bunnie, you're a genius! Do you think we should ask Sonia and Ezekiel if they're in on this?" He then asked Bunnie.

Bunnie smiled and nodded. "'Course we should! Ah'll talk to Sonia, you talk to Zeke, 'kay?" She asked Manic back.

Manic smiled and nodded back. "I'll take care of it." He replied before him and Bunnie each went their own way to plan their revenge on Sonic for his unreasonable attitude in the workplace.

Later that night, Sonic and Sally came out of Sonic's office after about an hour of cuddling on the job, only to be greeted by an empty kitchen. "Hey! Where the hell is everyone?!" Sonic exclaimed upon seeing the kitchen empty.

Sally then found a note on the counter. "Hey, a note!" She said as she picked up the note.

"What does it say?" Sonic asked his chipmunk wife.

"Dear Sonic...Don't get me wrong, you're a great brother, and we love you, but you sometimes have an unreasonable attitude in the workplace and treat us like dirt. We're sick of that, and therefore we've called in sick for the night along with Bunnie and Ezekiel. I hope you and Sally can handle the busy evening shift tonight by yourselves. I know it's not nice to do this, but you're gonna have to learn the hard way that we're tired of your bullshit in the workplace. – Sonia and Manic" Sally read the note out loud.

Sonic gulped, looking quite pale. "You mean we have to do deal with the men's night tonight all by ourselves?" He asked Sally.

The brown chipmunk sighed and nodded. "I'm afraid so. You kinda had it coming for treating the others like dirt so much, honey. I hope you understand that." She replied to the cobalt blue hedgehog.

Sonic sighed. "I hate to admit it, but you're right. I've been an unreasonable asshole in the workplace lately, so I deserve this punishment." He replied.

"Well, let's try to survive the evening shift by ourselves..." Sally sighed some more.

The next morning, Sonic and Sally were waiting for the others to arrive outside the Burger King restaurant. Shortly afterwards, they arrived and saw Sonic and Sally waiting for them. "Oh, shoot. Looks like we're gonna get it..." Ezekiel gulped.

"It's been nice knowing you guys..." Sonia told the others.

"Hey, Sonic, Sally...Listen, if you're mad about what we did yesterday, we-" Manic began before Sonic interrupted him.

"No, no. You were right to do that. I admit, I've been an unreasonable asshole in the workplace lately, so I deserved the punishment you guys gave me." Sonic told the rest.

"And is there something you'd like to say to them, Sonic?" Sally asked her husband, crossing her arms at him.

Sonic nodded at Sally before turning back to the others. "Guys, I'm sorry for being such an unreasonable asshole in the workplace lately, so I want to make things right with you guys. Here's your weekly paychecks, plus a bonus." He told his workers as he each handed them a stack of 20 euro bills along with an additional stack of 20 euro bills as a bonus.

Manic, Sonia, Bunnie and Ezekiel grinned upon seeing this. "Thanks, bro!" Manic told Sonic.

"Yeah, we really appreciate it!" Sonia added.

"Yeah, thanks, yo!" Ezekiel added as well.

"Yeah, that's real sweet of ya, Sugarhog." Bunnie added as well.

"So, do you accept my apology?" Sonic asked his workers with a hopeful smile.

The four looked at each other, then back at Sonic and smiled. "Apology accepted." They replied to the cobalt blue hedgehog.

Sonic grinned. "Thanks, guys. I love you so much." He told them. "In addition to your weekly paycheck and that bonus, you all also get the day off for today. I've asked Vector, Espio, Charmy and Mighty to fill in for you guys today." He added.

Manic, Sonia, Bunnie and Ezekiel grinned even bigger upon hearing that. "Thanks, Sonic!" They replied in unison.

Sonic smiled. "Anytime, guys. Now enjoy your day off." He told them before him and Sally went inside the restaurant.

"So, what do you guys wanna do now?" Sonia asked the others.

"How about we go to the cinema? I wanna see that new movie, Beach Blanket Bogus." Manic suggested.

"Sounds like a plan to me, yo." Ezekiel replied.

Bunnie smiled and nodded. "Same here. Let's go." She replied before the four of them left for the cinema.
