The crocodile and the rabbit had finished the grocery run, and were heading back to base.

Vector: I'm looking forward to this dinner. In addition to our friends and families, the whole Restoration and GUN is gonna love the big dinner picnic we're putting together.
Vanilla: It isn't just our cooking, dear. The others contributed as well.
Vector: True, still, *pauses to bunt a badnik that jumped out of the water to attack them away from them*, it helps lighten the load.
Vanilla: Anyways, once we get everything made, want to spend some time in the hot tub? I know you have been working hard and can use a good soak.
Vector: Sure thing. Though should we lock the door or no?
Vanilla: If you're asking what I think you're intending to ask, we did that a few days ago, and we will be letting the others take a dip as well. Don't worry. We'll have time this weekend to continue attempting to conceive half siblings for Cream.
Vector: Right. Thanks for the heads up at least.
Vanilla: No problem.
