It was the weekend at Hollow Stalls, and it was specifically Sunday, the day the store was closed. Phoebe was in her room when she heard the all-familiar voice saying hello from downstairs. It was her aunt Amelia. Phoebe floated out of her room and went quickly to the shop floor. Nerva and Phoebe’s mother, Dawn, was already downstairs.
As soon as Phoebe and Ameila saw each other, the action was immediate; they both gave each other a hug.
Amelia soon said
“Phoebe, how are you doing?” and Phoebe smiled as she responded with
“I’m doing great! Why are you here today?”
Amelia replied with “Have you forgotten already? I’m taking you and Nerva out to McDonald's for lunch today”
Phoebe paused for a moment. She had totally forgotten about that and let out a small laugh,
“Of course I haven’t forgotten.. I was just testing if you knew”
Nerva responded with “Phoebe, stop trying to lie, you’re bad at it”
“Fine,” Phoebe crossed her arms and let her cheeks puff as she said that. She then added, “I did forget my bad.”
Amelia said, “It's okay, Phoebe, it makes this a surprise, and that’s better”
Dawn then added, “Plus I’ll get some peace and quiet for a bit “
Both Phoebe and Nerva looked over to Dawn, while Nerva just sighed. Phoebe looked shocked
“Well off we go then “,Amelia said as she turned to face the door.
Phoebe said, “Let me go get my broom! We can fly there”
And Dawn soon responded with
“And where will you put it? You can’t walk into McDonald's with a broom”
Phoebe then asked, “How will we get there ?”
Nerva responded like this was the most obvious thing in the world, “a car Phoebe.”
Phoebe let out a gasp and said, “Right of course but wouldn’t one of you’re portals be more quicker Nerva?”
Nerva then responded with” eh I prefer the car in this case so we’re going by car”
Phoebe then said “alright then”
The trio of phoebe and Amelia and Nerva soon got in the car. Nerva sat in the front passenger seat Ameilia was in the driver's seat, and Phoebe was in the back, In the car, music from Kenya was playing in the background, and Phoebe couldn’t understand what they were saying, so she tuned it out.
Once they all arrived at McDonald’s, the parking lot was almost full.
“Will we ever find a space?” Phoebe said while staring out at the window.
It was then that Nerva pointed in the direction in front of them and said
“There is a space right their phoebe” and soon phoebe face lit up in excitement.
Amelia drove into the car park space and stopped once she was inside.
Phoebe, Amelia, and Nerva all got out of the car and headed off to McDonald's.
Once inside, the store was packed and the smell of fast food was in the air. There was a line at the kiosk, and the group waited in line to get to the ordering kiosk.
Then it was their turn to order.
Amelia said, “What do you want, Phoebe?”
Phoebe said, “A Happy Meal with a chocolate milkshake “
Amelia then added “do you want a chicken nugget happy meal or a burger one?”
phoebe said “A burger one!”
Amelia said, “ Alright , so Do you want a toy or a book?”
Phoebe responded with “A book, of course!”
Phoebe soon watched as Amelia placed her order, and then she watched as Amelia went to place Nerva’s order.
Amelia asked Nerva, “What would you like to order?”
“I’ll have a McCrispy meal with Coke a Cola.”
Phoebe responded with “Why not the double big tasty that looks nice?”
Nerva Said “Because it's impractical, the burger slips out of the bun as you eat it “
Amelia went to place an order, and when she got to her order, she simply had a medium cheeseburger meal, but when Amelia finished paying, the receipt didn’t print Phoebe soon said,
“What do we do?”
while Nerva took a photo of their order number and said
“We’re order number 57. I snapped a photo, so it should be fine”
They all waited in line for their order and eventually got it, Phoebe, but when it came to finding free tables, it was a hassle until one of those table where you sat at stools were available, and Phoebe and Nerva soon ate at the table.
Phoebe said aloud, “That McCrispy looks tasty, Nerva”
Nerva shrugged their shoulders and said, “It’s alright”
Phoebe said, “Thank you for the meal, Amelia!”
Amelia said, “There is no need to thank me, it's my treat after all”
Phoebe soon added, “but there should be! It’s good to say thanks”
Nerva then nonchalantly said, “Yeah, thanks”
