Sonic Series ❯ Trip to Universal Studios ❯ At the rental house ( Chapter 5 )

The group walked into the two level home.

 “Nice place.” Sonic said, looking around. “You should pick out our airbnbs for us more often, Mom. You do a better job than any of us have.”

 “Thank you.” Aleena replied. “Okay, I think Shadow and Sonia should get the first floor bedroom so Maria doesn’t have to walk upstairs.”

 “Thanks.” Maria said.

 Maria, Shadow and Sonia headed to their room. 

 “Tails, Kit, you can keep your bags upstairs.” Aleena said.

 Everyone else went to put their bags in their room.

  Sonic, Sonia, and Sally watched tv while Manic and Surge drew in their notebooks.

 Tails, Aleena, and Kit read books on the covered porch.

 Sonic looked out the door. “Where’s Shadow?”

 “He went to pick up some food and his skin care routine stuff.” Sonia replied. 

 The door opened.

 “Back with food.” Shadow called. He walked in and put the bags on the counter.

 Muffled ice cream truck music began to play.

 Manic looked up. “Oh, shoot, an ice cream truck!” He exclaimed. He raced outside. “And they got the wonky Sonic bar.”

 “I guess I better try it if it’s modeled after me.” Sonic said. “My treat, everyone.”

 Sonic raced outside.

 Shadow looked at Sonia as she went to follow everyone else. “Get me the Sonic bar.”

 “Of course, sweetie.” Sonia replied.

  “That so wasn’t worth it.” Sonic muttered.

 Manic took a bite of his Sonic ice cream bar, then shuddered. “Ugh, this thing is nasty.” He said. “Doesn’t even look like you, bro.”

 Sonic sighed. “I know.” He replied. “It looks like that weird meme of me instead.”

 Manic took another bite of ice cream. “Wonder if this will be like the whole black jack taco thing.”

 “Ugh.” Shadow muttered. “You would bring that up.”

 “I don’t know if it will or not.” Sonic said.

 “I’ll keep you posted.” Manic replied.

 Sonic eased away from Manic. “No, don’t do that, you weirdo.”

 “Sorry, I just want to make sure everything is normal.” Manic said. “If we both-”

 Sonic punched Manic in the arm. “Dude, you’re sick.”

 Surge, Sally, and Sonia walked in.

 “You’re all sick.” Sonia said. “You’re boys.”

 “Don’t lump me into their insanity.” Shadow replied.

 Surge looked at Manic’s ice cream. “If it turns your poop green, I don’t want to hear about it, Manic.”

 Sonia and Sally threw the rest of their ice creams in the garbage disposal.

 “Hey, those were nine mobiums each.” Sonic protested.

 “I’m sorry.” Surge replied.

 Shadow shook his head. “I’m going to spend the rest of the night in our room.” He said, walking away. “I’m not watching a movie with you lunatics.”

 “Good night, everybody.” Sonia said, walking away.

 Shadow and Sonia headed upstairs.

 “Now I want to watch Animaniacs.” Manic said.

 “We may as well get some rest.” Sally said. “We have a lot of walking to do tomorrow.”

 Sonic glanced at the glass back door, where Tails, Kit, and Maria were sitting by the pool and talking. “I’ll tell them what we’re doing.” He said, tossing his trash into the garbage can.”
