Sonic made it home to the little house he shared with his siblings after his morning run. He noticed Surge’s motorcycle parked in the driveway and groaned.
“I’d swear she only started dating Manic to spite me.” Sonic muttered. “I’d go somewhere else, but Sal and Tails are out of town and I need a shower.”
Sonic opened the door and headed inside. “Why is she here so early anyway?” He muttered under his breath.
“Come on, it’s cute.” Manic said.
Sonic furrowed his brow. “I have a feeling I don’t want to know.”
“We’ll split the money with you.” Surge said.
“That won’t give me back my dignity.” Kit protested.
Sonic reluctantly started walking toward the living room.
“Come on.” Surge said. “Just this once. I’ll pay you twenty bucks right now.”
“I’ll pay you too.” Manic added. “That makes it forty bucks.”
“No.” Kit snapped. “You can keep your money and shove it up-”
“What’s going on?” Sonic asked. He froze as soon as he stepped in the room.
Kit was dressed in a pale yellow baby bonnet, mittens, and booties as well a white cloth diaper.
“Let me explain.” Manic said.
“Please do.” Sonic replied.
“There’s a TikTok and Instagram trend of fennecs wearing old fashioned baby bonnets.” Manic said. “They’re super popular, so Surge and I thought we could talk Kit into dressing as a baby to make it a little unique and sing the ‘I’m the baby’ song from Dinosaurs.”
“We would’ve added the actual song in post, but we thought that would get it pulled due to copyright.” Surge replied.
“Please help me, Sonic.” Kit begged.
“So why don’t you post an embarrassing video of yourself, Manic?” Sonic asked. “You’ve got one video and a picture already.”
Manic’s eyes widened. “No; no, I deleted it.”
“I didn’t.” Sonic said.
“What is it?” Surge asked. “I need to know.”
Sonic smirked and pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Manic tried to snatch Sonic’s phone out of his hand. “Don’t show it to her!”
Sonic held the phone out of Manic’s reach while holding him back with the other hand. “What? Afraid she’ll dump you?”
“That’s what you’re hoping for, isn’t it?” Manic asked.
“Let me see the video.” Surge replied.
Sonic showed Surge the video.
Surge burst out laughing. “Why were you dressed as a belly dancer?” She asked. “How do you even know how to belly dance?”
“I lost a bet.” Manic said. “I’ve seen enough of Sonia’s exercise videos to pick it up.”
“Now for the picture.” Sonic replied. “Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode with timeless art of seduction pictures?”
“No.” Surge said.
Sonic showed Surge the picture “Well, you still might get the joke.” He replied. “We saw a velvet couch in a museum and he had to spoof it.”
Manic’s face turned bright red.
Surge looked at the picture. “Whoa. Never seen you without a shirt before.”
Sonic gave Manic a smug look.
“You’re hot, babe.” Surge said, playing with Manic’s spines.
Sonic slapped his hand over his face.
Manic smirked. “Thanks, Babe.” He replied. “Okay, Kit, I’ll post that video and picture of me.”
“No, not the picture.” Surge said. “Unless you want me to beat any fangirls you attract with it.”
“Okay, I’ll post the video if you let us do this video.” Manic replied. “Does that sound fair?”
“Alright.” Kit said, shrugging.
Sonic sighed. “I’m gonna be in the shower for a while.” He said, walking away.
“I’d swear she only started dating Manic to spite me.” Sonic muttered. “I’d go somewhere else, but Sal and Tails are out of town and I need a shower.”
