Minutes Later...

"Well, that's almost everything, now, lastly I'll show you each where you work." Garrett replied. "Gracie, you work at the cash register, Alayna, you work at the drive in, and Taylor, you work at serving the people who eat here." Garrett finished. "Now let's get to work!" "Ok." The triplets complained. "Hello, welcome to McFoodLes, and how may I help you?" Alayna asked. "Yes, I'd like the chocolate mocha frappe, a small frie, 10 piece chicken nugget, and a boys happy meal with a toy." The customer stated. "Ok, that'll be $10.50." "Thanks." "Of course." "Ugg, I don't like work!" Taylor whined. "Yeah, me too." Alayna agreed. "Get back to work girls!" Garrett said in a singing voice. "Ok, Garrett." The two replied. "Gracie, how do you stay so optimistic?" Alayna and Taylor asked. "I think about happy things, that's how." Gracie replied. "Yeah, let's all sing about our favorite things just like in the sound of music!" Taylor sarcastically said as she rolled her eyes. "That's the spirit!" Garrett cheerily replied. Taylor slapped herself in the face and groaned. Then Garrett started singing the song. "I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel... SO BAAAAAAAD!" "Honestly, he sounds like a dying bird." Alayna whispered to Taylor and Gracie. "Yep." Gracie and Taylor agreed.

2 Hours Later...

"Well, girls, your work day is over. Goodbye!" Garrett said. "Bye!" they replied as they went out the doors. "Hey, girls!" Squishy said as she drove up to the triplets. "Hey, sis!" Gracie replied. "We're ready to go home now!" Taylor and Alayna emphasized. "Well get in then." Brianna replied.

At Home...

"Ah, finally! Home sweet home!" Alayna cheered. "Aww yeah!" Gracie agreed. "I want the turquoise room!" Taylor shouted. "Well, I want the purpley, fuchsia room!" Gracie called out. "I'll take the turquoise and purple room then." Alayna sang. "Welp, that leaves me with the electric blue room." Squishy said. "We love our rooms!" the triplets all cheered. "Well, I love my room too!" Squishy happily remarked. "Let's watch TV now!" Gracie said. "Yeah!" the other two triplets agreed. "Squishy, will you cook dinner please?" Gracie asked nicely. "Alright, fine." Squishy said. "Hooray!" the triplets cheered. "Great," Squishy thought, "more work for me to do after having a horrible day at Pendy's." "And that ends the 1st quarter of Puppy Bowl XIII (13)." "So girls, how'd your day at work go?" Squishy asked the triplets. "Oh, well it was all fine until someone had to bring up the song from The Sound of Music." Alayna said as she glared at Taylor. "Hey! If it makes you feel any better, I slapped myself in the face after Garrett started singing." Taylor replied. "Yeah, well, he kept singing it the rest of the day." Alayna argued. "Yeah, well, Gracie started it with saying how she thinks of good things and stays positive." Taylor pointed out. "Hey, don't drag me into this, it's not my fault! It's your fault Taylor!" Gracie shouted. "No, its Alayna's fault." Taylor replied. "No, it's Gracie's fault!" Alayna argued. "WOULD YOU THREE STOP ARGUING PLEASE!!!" Squishy screamed at the top of her lungs. "I've had a hard enough day at work, so I don't need anymore trouble, so, if you three don't mind, then STOP ARGUING!" Then there was silence. "Oooh, the Puppy Bowl is back on!" Gracie cheered. Then the triplets eyes were glued to the T.V.
