It was raining harshly in Station Square, thunder commonly being heard booming and lightning striking, with the streets flooding. Sonic zipped back into the Pizza Hut, shaking his entire body, as he was completely soaked. Silver and Rotor watched as Sonic approached the counter, taking a breather while Vector was counting the money inside the cash register.
"How is it out there, Sonic?" Rotor asked curiously as he sipped some ice tea. From a purple can.
Sonic panted as he rubbed his forehead, placing his right arm on the counter. "Man, is it terrible out there! Luckily I stayed on the sidewalk, or I would have drowned..." He chuckled before sighing, closing his eyes as he shook his head.
Silver looked at the watch he had on his right wrist, taking a good look at the time. "Eight PM. Hmm... maybe we should close early. Doesn't look like it'll get better."
Sonic nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to keep delivering pizzas in such terrible conditions like this."
Vector slammed his left fist on the counter. "Damn it, you three! I expect good service for our customers, and this is the way you treat them?"
Sonic, Silver, and Rotor all looked at each other, then glanced back at Vector.
"Vector, you don't even do anything aside from playing around with money," Rotor pointed out as he continued sipping his ice tea.
Vector gawked as he stumbled backwards a bit, flustered as he waved his hands at the three humanoid mammals. "Look ,it's not easy being green... I don't just sit around in my office all day. I'm the one who checks the entire Pizza Hut before leaving..."
Silver rubbed the back of his head. "Well... you do raise a good point."
Awkward silence occurred for several seconds as thunder boomed outside, the rain being heard pouring on the rooftop.
Vector closed his eyes and sighed, waving his right hand. "Fine. You three deserve a break. Go on and head home."
Sonic rubbed his right arm. "Actually... I was thinking of staying here for the night. I don't want to go back outside."
Silver smiled, raising his right index finger. "Hey! We could have a sleep over of sorts! Good thinking, Sonic!"
Rotor placed his can of ice tea down. "I'll get some pizza dough!"
Vector blinked in astonishment as he shockingly watched the three mammals make the Pizza Hut their temporary home.
