This choice: Unlimited food bar access? Count me in! • Go Back...Chapter #4Unlimited food bar access? Count me in! by: Unknown Knuckles felt like getting the most for his money, so he answered, "I'll take the premium."
"Alright, I'll sign ya up here, just wait a minute wall I make yuh membership cod."
Knuckles felt a thrill at the thought of getting pumped up. "That Sonic'll be sorry he ever messed with me!" Knuckles daydreamed while looking upwards, his fists clenched in excitement.
"Your cod's done, here. Now get liftin'!" The musclebound clerk handed Knuckles his membership card, and Knuckles stuck it in his dreads, seeing as he had no pockets.

Knuckles was hard at work working out. The effort wasn't so much actually lifting the weights, but finding weights that were actually an effort to lift. See, Knuckles already was used to doing a lot of lifting and heavy work in the mountains with boulders, doing lots of odd jobs involving heavy lifting, things like that. So Knuckles was only able to feel a sense of working out by lifting a thousand pounds or more by getting other lifters to sit on the ends of the barbell, and then only if he pumped it for 10 minutes or so. Sonic characters are already freaks of nature, so this wasn't that surprising.
Finally, Knuckles got slightly worked out (but mostly bored) after about half an hour, when he set his barbell down on the ground. All of a sudden he smelled a barrage of delicious food smells coming from a doorway behind him, along with the sound of a dinner bell being rung. He could recognize the smells of steak, cinnamon buns, mashed potatoes, cheeseburgers... His mouth started to drool, and one of the other weightlifters put his hand on Knuckles' shoulder and said, "You gotta eat good between your workouts, or else yain't gonna be bulkin' up none, y'hear?"
Knuckles nodded and wiped the drool from his mouth with his fist. He followed the weight lifters, who were making a line to the cafeteria serving table. He was surprised and delighted to see that the serving trays were huge, and the servers were very generous with their portions. Today's menu was steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, but you could go back up and get seconds any time you wanted, and there was a huge variety of foods to eat. Everything he smelled, and so much more, was there and it drove him crazy at the thought. But then he shook his head and said to himself, "Nope, gotta keep it small, I didn't work out that much today, just eat the steak and potatoes and go back lifting..."
Knuckles finally progressed in the line to the servers, he showed his card, and they loaded his tray with steak and mashed 'taters. He picked up his silverware and dug in.
He had expected that the food would be lousy, seeing as they were serving so many people and they would have to cut corners wherever possible. But Knuckles was surprised to find out that this was the best steak and potatoes he had ever tasted! After what felt like only a few bites, his tray was empty, and his stomach still felt empty.
He would obviously have to go back for seconds, so he went back to the food tables, where the smells and sights of more steak and potatoes, fruity protein shakes, cinnamon rolls, cheeseburgers, and donuts flooded his senses.
"Well... just a little wouldn't hurt..." You have the following choice: 1. Later... |
