"Pigsy? Any idea where MK could be? He wasn't at the apartment when I woke up." Peach asked, concerned as she walked into the restaurant.
"He took an early delivery shift, but he hasn't come back yet." He exclaimed. "You might need to take over again."
Peach sighed. "Oh boy... Maybe I'll find him along the way. I'm guessing he took the tuk-tuk as well?"
"Yeah. I'll make sure the load is lighter, and there's a scooter you can use next to the shop. It might be a bit old, but it still works." Peach nodded a thanks to her boss and went outside to check up on the scooter.
The scooter looked more like a motorbike than anything, it's whole body reminded her of her Mach Bike. The paint is chipped in many places, and the glass is even cracked, but hopefully Mei could help her fix some things up, considering the dragon girl has a bike of her own.
Peach rolled the motorbike up to the entrance, Pigsy already standing there with the current orders he got, along with the keys. "Just push the button then pt the keys into the ignition, turn it all the way back and keep it that way until the engine starts up. You can take it out, the only way to turn the bike off is to do the same thing, except with this button." Pigsy explained.
He pointed to two buttons, the first being the ignition button, which read "GO" on it, the second was the button to turn the engine off, simply being a β symbol.
"Okay, I think I got it. Thanks." Peach smiled and took the bags, placing them in the black saddle bag and closing it tightly. "Don't forget this." Pigsy shoved a helmet into her arms before rushing back to the kitchen.
Peach looked at the helmet, it was practically brand new. Shiny, no chips in paint or plastic. Nothing of the sort. It was mainly white and covered her ears, the brim was a dark pink and the colour was the same for the restaurant logo on the right side, the left had a simple cartoon peach. Peach giggled, clipping the helmet onto her head before beginning the motorbike and being on her way.
~~~
"Peach! You're just so perfect!" Mei swooned, twirling her hair, Peach giggles cutely, a flush of pink on her cheeks.
MK was entirely confused on what happened. Pigsy gave him the day off, everything was going his way, the civilians were weird and kept saying the day was 'perfect', and now here he is third-wheeling for Mei and Peach's date.
While Mei had her hair down, and was wearing a plain hanfu, Peach was wearing the polka dot dress Mei had bought her, looking absolutely adorable.
MK would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous of Mei keeping all of Peach's attention on her. Then again, he wasn't sure if anything what was happening was even real at the moment. It all feels like some sort of fever dream.
Sandy returned with Mo, holding a violin and began playing a slow, romantic song. MK slumped more in his seat as Mei took Peach's hand and led her in a dance.
This whole day so far felt like a mess. Apparently his staff was sealing away DBK and his family, Peach and Mei were also madly in love (jelly boi), and he was itching for a fight. He kept instinctually reaching to his ear for his staff, only to remember that it wasn't there.
Screw it.
He's getting his staff back.
~~~
"Pigsy's Noodles!" Peach arrived at a worn down building, that looked like an old, abandoned movie theatre.
"Over here." Peach looked to a hooded man who came around the corner. "And just on time too." He smirked.
"Oh. Uh, here you are!" Peach handed the mysterious man the bag of noodles.
"Heh, thanks hun." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Yuan he needed before handing it to her. "66Β₯." (about 10$ us). "Plus 33Β₯ (5$) as a tip." Even though his face was shaded, Peach could make out a wink.
Flustered, she laughed awkwardly and thanked him with a smile, before returning to her bike and going off for the rest of her orders.
She's adorable...
~~~
"You couldn't find him?" Mei asked worriedly, Peach shook her head no. "It's like he just disappeared..." The blonde woman sighed dejectedly. Mei patted her back comfortingly.
"Peach, still got more orders. Maybe you'll be able to find MK in more spots." Pigsy handed her some more orders, and Peach nodded, worry changed to determination in an instant.
"I'll try my best, Pigsy. I promise."
~~~
"How you doing down there?"
MK turned excitedly, recognizing the voice. He sighed in relief. "Monkey King! Wait a minute. What are you doing here?" He asked.
Sun Wukong shrugged, chill about the whole situation. "Ah, you know. Hanging, chilling. Monkey Kinging around. Uh, anyway, enough about me. What's new with you? You seem agitated."
"Well, yeah. I mean, everyone's got dumb brain! Pigsy gave me the day off, and Mei said she... loves Peach. I think I'm going crazy." MK shuddered at the thought of Mei and Peach together, a twinge of jealously also shot at his heart.
"Ah, you're not crazy. This is all very normal. My power's just... so great. It's probably too much for your brain to handle. You're going to see some weird stuff. You've just gotta accept it." Monkey King said, waving off MK's concerns.
MK looked at the floor. "Accept it, huh?" He lamented. Wukong nodded. "Yeah, accept it. Apart from that love bit, it all sounds fine. Perfect. Uh, but you know, if you think about it, actually, maybe Peach and Mei would be... like a reallyβ" He paused, noticing MK was gone. "MK? Gaw, dang it."
MK ran off while Monkey King was distracted (with shipping Peach and Mei, no less) to the spot he originally sought after. The hill. With Monkey King'sβwell, it's his nowβstaff inside, sticking out of the hill as the sun shone a golden light on it, almost as if it was calling out to MK.
"This is fine, this is fine. I can figure this out. I'm definitely not going crazy. It's everyone else that's going crazy. My staff!" He yelled out, happily gazing at his glorious staff.
"Hey, MK. What are you doing?" Mei and Peach, now donned in their normal attire, popped out of the blue, both speaking in unison. It was actually really creepy.
"Ugh, Peach, Mei. Uh, I was just gonna take the old staff for a spin." MK said, awkwardly pointing at his staff.
The two girls frowned. "Take it? You can't take it. If you do that, then the Demon Bull King will return!" Mei said. Peach nodded. "Yeah! And he'll destroy everything in his way too!"
"Leave the staff where it is, dude." Sandy added. "Oh, MK, you don't want that mean DBK to return, do you?" Tang pouted. "Why don't we just go back to the shop? I'll make us all a nice pot of noodles." Pigsy finished off.
The four towered over MK with creepy and intimidating smiles. MK turned, only to come face to face with Sun Wukong. "You can still have your perfect life." He sang.
"Yeah, we can all just hang out." That... that was Mo. Everyone paused, MK looking at the cat in a mix of awe and somewhat weird disgust.
"Jin. The cat's not meant to talk." Mei whispered to Pigsy in a odd sounding voice. "Yeah, jig's up. Let's get him!"
The group of now known fake versions of his friends all dog piled on him to keep him from taking the staff.
"Here... comes..." MK struggled to reach the staff.
Fake Tang grunted. "No." "He's too strong." Fake Sandy panicked. "Stop reaching." Fake Pigsy tried holding his arm back, but it was no use. "No." Fake Monkey King finalized.
Ignoring the words of his mentors faker, he reached even further. "...Monkie Kid!" He grabbed the staff. The fakers all screamed.
Then it all went white.
~~~
Back in the real world, MK successfully escaped the Calabash and finding two demons in the corner, trying to sneak off. "Who are you?" He asked.
The two demons smirked. "We're your worst nightmare. Jin." The golden one began, the silver one soon joined. "Yin."
"The Gold and Silver Demons!" Jin exclaimed. They did a weird pose of Jin on top of Yin. Said silver demon sighed frustratedly. "Mate, it's silver and gold. Silver and gold." He whispered.
"I'm not having this conversation again. It's gold and silver." Jin finalized, both getting into a physical fight over it.
"Okay, got it. You're demons. Uh, what am I doing here?" MK asked, kind of already fed up with them.
"We heard about the great Monkie Kid and knew that you would be a worthy adversary." Yin said smugly. Jin nodded in agreement. "Yes. And through cunning and guile, we called out to you, and you foolishly... answered."
~flashback~
"Who is it?" Jin asked in a high pitched voice.
MK responded immediately. "Pigsy's Noodles, home of the world's longestβ"
"He has to answer to his name, remember?" Yin whispered insistently. "Oh, yeah." Jin whispered back, before clearing his throat. "This app thingy says you have to identify yourself. Is your name "MK"?"
"Uh, well, I'm currently going by MK, but it used to beβ" He was cut off when the two demons opened the door and sucked him into the Calabash, trapping him inside.
~end of flashback~
"The Calabash was supposed to contain you forever!" The golden demon grumbled. "At least until we figured out step three." The silver demon added. Jin nodded. "Right. Uh, but instead, we'll have to destroy you the good old-fashioned way." The two demons got into a fighting stance.
MK sighed. "Fine." He said, before smirking and drawing out his staff, spinning it around before getting into a stance of his own. "I feel like a fight."
"Um, I think he knows we're bluffing." Jin muttered, scared. Yin muttered back to him. "Oh, I just figured out step three."
"SMOKE BOMB!" They threw down a smoke bomb, covering the entire room. They laughed as MK coughed. The smoke soon cleared to reveal that they both managed to escape outside.
"We're the greatest tricksters."
"Ever!"
~~~
"Um, Mei? Peach? Mr. Tang?" MK entered the noodle restaurant worriedly. Only to get glomped by Peach.
"Oh my goodness, MK! Thank the Star Sprites you're okay!" Peach tightened her hug, MK did to have time to mull whatever a 'Star Sprite' was, but he managed to wheeze out a "Too tight."
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's justβ you've been missing the whole day, we were so worried."
"Where have you been, MK? I've gotβ" Pigsy stormed over, only to get cut off as MK squeezed his cheeks with his hands.
"Pigsy. Wait, is it?" He asked, almost in wonder. Pigsy growled. "If you don't get your hands off me, you're fired
"It is you. Oh-ho-ho-ho, my sweet Pigsy. Pigsy, it is you!" MK sobbed hysterically. Pigsy looked at Peach awkwardly.
"Uh, what's happening?" Peach shrugged.
"Sorry. It's just... I'm just really glad none of you are perfect." MK wiped his tears. There was silence until...
"What?!" The four all yelled out in anger.
"Well excuuuuse me, Princey! I've been looking for you all day andthisis the thanks I get!?" Peach shrieked.
"What are you talking about? This job's the most perfect thing you're ever going to get!" Pigsy then yelled after, followed by Tang. "I so too am perfect. You've got dumb brain. That's what you've got!"
"Wow. I'm going to reset your Monkey Mech character. How about that?!" Mei held up her phone, showing the reset button for his Monkey Mech.
As the four continued yelling angrily, MK sighed in content. Happy with the chaos.
"Perfect..."
