AO3 STORY

WE'RE ALL CAUGHT UP WITH THE AO3 STORY! From this point on in the story, the chapters will be uploaded on here and AO3 on the same days :)

Chapter 14 : Return

Return deals damage and has no secondary effects. It has more power the more friendship the user has.

The Calabash.

Oh how you worried for MK’s mental state.

The thought of Mei ‘confessing’ to MK made you cringe.

When Sandy called you earlier, panicking that MK was missing, you tried to calm him down and explain that MK was most likely okay, but that didn’t help very much.

Instead of opening up shop like normal, Sandy decided to take the day off with his therapy cats and you went to Pigsy’s restaurant for the first time. Upon your arrival, Mei threw herself into you. “You’re okay!”

“Yeah, I’m fine? What happened? I heard MK went missing.”

“He just went on a delivery and never came back! We don’t know the specifics.” Tang explained as Pigsy was grumbling at his counter.

“I’m sure he’s fine. MK is super OP, right? He’ll be fine.” You comforted Mei by patting her head. 

Mei’s muffled “I guess…” Barely reached your ears, and she just shoved her face in your shoulder as she sulked.

Despite Pigsy being obviously irritated that MK hasn’t returned, he still looked really worried and stressed, same with Tang, who’s been chewing the same noodles for longer than he normally would.

You patted Mei on the head and pushed her off yourself and approached Pigsy. “Hey, I said MK would be okay, you just need to trust in him.”

You could hear a quiet voice in the back of your head shout out “hypocrite!” at you. Pigsy sighed. “Ugh I know, but seeing these orders stack up and him not answering my calls still worries me.”

You contemplated for a moment before taking the food into your arms. “I can do it.” You offered. They all looked at you in surprise, and Pigsy thought it over carefully.

“It can give me a good chance to try and look for MK too!” You added, and with that, Pigsy immediately agreed to it.

Mei, with the proposition that you could deliver things for Pigsy and keep a lookout for MK, immediately agreed to drive you around on her motorbike to help you. You spent the next few hours looking for the successor, but to no avail.

And while that was a total flop, it wasn’t all bad, as you ended up coming face to face with an orange cat, and was rescued by the little girl who owned it as her mother thanked you for the delivery.

You felt a cool dread in your gut.

Mei continued driving you around the entire city, even after you were all finished to look for MK, but he still hasn’t come up yet.

Just how long is he stuck in there for?

You and Mei return to Pigsy’s MK-less, both of you being tired from all the driving around, and Mei was sulking even more.

Pigsy and Tang looked at you questioningly, only to deflate again when you shook your head no. 

“I don’t get it. Where is that kid?” Pigsy growled in frustration. 

And speak of the devil and he shall appear. 

Or in this case, the Monkie man. 

In the entrance to Pigsy’s was MK, still slightly frazzled from the Calabash and holding his staff in his hands. 

“MK!” You and Mei exclaim in relief, and Pigsy storms up to him. 

“Where have you been!? You’re lucky those two volunteered to pull your weight for you!” And while he didn’t say it, you could tell Pigsy was relieved that MK was okay. 

And on cue, MK started crying in happiness that Pigsy was normal and not the fake one. 

You decided to tune him out a bit, just glad that everyone isn’t stressed that he was missing anymore. 

And you were startled when everyone began yelling at him. Mainly startled because Mei had screamed loud and it hurt. 

You snapped your lego claw the best you could next to where your ear would be and when you confirmed you still had your hearing, you approached MK and gave him a side hug. “I knew you’d be okay. What happened anyway?”

He shuddered. “Something that I don’t want happening ever again.” 

You nodded as the three continued yelling at MK and decided to be one with the moment, not ready to make another moment like this sour with your cynical thoughts of what’s to come in the near future. 

5 episodes done, 5 more to go…

… dammit brain.

Show Me Your Moves! (Chapter 9)

AO3 STORY

tw: reader uses a knife at the end

Chapter 9 : Sketch

Sketch is a non-damaging move that allows the user to copy the opponent's move permanently, replacing Sketch. 

You internally cursed Tang out in your head as you spotted an energetic MK painting along with Sandy. 

For a second, you were glad that MK appeared to be back to normal, but then you remembered the madness that was his Artist Clone. You remember that it only took 15 hours for Porty to go on his power trip, and you were pretty sure Artist was earlier than Porty, and that’s why you felt that off feeling as you watched MK take two paint brushes and begin painting even more.

“How long has he been at this?” You whisper-asked Sandy, who whispered back that he’s been painting for about Five hours now. You shuddered. Five hours already? Ten hours or less left to go…

Two hours.

The clone lasted for two hours.

“It needs to be better. It needs to be better.” The Artist Clone muttered to himself as he painted an intricate mural of MK dancing, surrounded by clones playing different instruments.

Despite its beauty, Artist didn’t seem pleased with it.

“I think it’s pretty good, MK.” Sandy said, and you felt fear strike into your very soul when Artist MK turned to the two of you with an insane look on his face.

“Pretty good? Pretty good!? That’s not good enough.” You and Sandy cowered and hugged each other as Artist MK yelled at you two. “You asked me to help paint your boat and that’s what I’m gonna do. I won’t stop until it’s perfect!” 

“I think it’s already perfect, MK.” You decided to stay, and he glared at you, making you even more nervous.

There was a small beat of silence, Artist MK’s eye twitched, then he attacked.

Sandy stood in front of you, hoping his natural strength could hold Artist MK back, but Artist MK’s funky mystic monkey powers easily kicked Sandy’s butt. Startled, you were powered up again, much like how you were back at the Weather Station, instead this time, the waves of the water became harsh, rocking the boat.

This didn’t intimidate the Artist Clone, and he ended up tying you and Sandy up before returning to his painting.

“Hey.” Sandy whispered to you, tied up suspended in the air. “Since when could you do that? The water thing?”

Ah, you forgot he was technically a water demon…

“The water thing? Just now, but apparently I’ve been unlocking these wacky abilities since Red Son took over the Weather Station. Remember when I punched that Bull Clone?” Your boss nodded. “Well, I also was covered in electricity, which totally short circuited the clone.”

Sandy nodded in understanding, and for the next few hours, you sat on the ground uncomfortable as Artist MK constantly painted over the murals he made over and over again, complaining about imperfections all the while.

“Yes, yes, the art is seeping into my pores!” Artist MK dragged a pink coated paintbrush across his face with an insane grin. “Just needs… One. More. Coat.” He turned to you and Sandy slowly, scaring the heck out of the two of you. 

“You missed a spot!”

“Where!?” Artist Clone then disappeared in a puff of dust and hair, and the real MK appeared. 

“Hey, MK. Mystic Monkey business?” Sandy asks knowingly, and MK nods. 

“How many of those clones did you make?” You ask curiously, maybe he’d give you an actual answer as to how many he actually made and not just the main three clones from this episode. 

Instead, he yelled out about Mei and rushed off, and you remembered that he’s better off saving her before she probably gets actually obliterated by that claw machine if he didn’t make it like last time. 

“So… now what?” Sandy wiggled a bit, making him swing side to side. 

“I think I can do something…” You replied. You wiggled around some too before one of your LEGO claw hands popped out of the ropes. You grabbed a knife from your pocket. 

“Since when did you have that!?” Sandy helps out in alarm, and you chuckle. 

“Since you hired me? You have quite a few of these just laying around in the store. I actually feel kind of comfortable walking around if I have an unreasonably sharp object to protect me.” You replied, easily cutting the ropes that Artist MK tied you in before freeing Sandy. 

“I don't think that’s a good thing.” Sandy said as you freed him, easily landing on his feet. 

You shrug. “Eh, what else do I have?”

He grabbed the knife from you with an unimpressed look on his face. “Those super strong powers you just admitted to having?”

You stared blankly for a second before pointing finger guns at him. “Touché.”

Show Me Your Moves! (Chapter 13)

AO3 STORY

Chapter 13 : Poison Jab

This move inflicts damage and has a 30% chance to poison the target.

By this point, MK, Mei and Sandy haven’t arrived yet, so your best bet was to lay low and not bring attention to yourself.

You couldn’t hear what the Spider Queen was saying, her lair was too echoey, but you already knew what was going to happen anyway, and it wasn’t gonna be pretty if the universe decides she can actually eat the people trapped here. 

You sneakily got closer and closer to where she was, standing over a large pot with a toxic green liquid in it, cackling evilly. 

Tang said something about how MK was going to save them, Spider Queen laughed again, but you didn’t pay much attention to their back and forth. 

Instead, you stared at the pot. 

Could you knock it over? If your memory serves you correctly, then this liquid is used to make the blue liquid that helps the Lady Bone Demon…

Nope! Too late! MK is here!

The poor guy obviously isn’t comfortable in the lair filled with a butt ton of spider webs.

Spider Queen hadn’t seen him yet, and Tang and Pigsy were still safe, so as soon as MK went to pass you, you dragged him behind a rock, and he would have screamed his head off if you hadn’t put a hand over his mouth to shush him.

“MK. It’s just me.” You whisper. 

MK looked at you in shock. “How did you get here? Weren’t you just…?” 

You shrugged. “I honestly have no idea. One moment I was in the base, then the next I was here.” You explain.

The staff wielding successor gasped, and his eyes sparkled. “You have powers?”

“Apparently. But that’s not important. What is important is saving Pigsy and Tang.” You point to both of MK’s father figures, then over to the toxic pot. “And destroy whatever that is.”

MK nodded determinedly. “Got it.” And without any other thought, he jumped into action.

Not a good idea.

While Pigsy and Tang were ecstatic seeing MK come to save them, the Spider Queen immediately ambushed MK and managed to lure him to the other side of the lair.

You then made yourself known, coming out from behind the rock. “You guys.” You whisper shouted as you ran over to the web.

Pigsy let out a muffled yell and Tang sighed in relief. “You’re okay! How did you get here?”

“I just stumbled into the hole.” You explain, not exactly ready to tell them of your powers just yet. You managed to pull Pigsy out first and rip off the webs. Before you could pull the webs off his face, he immediately freed Tang.

“We’re glad you’re okay. We thought you got caught too.” Tang explained, pulling the webs off of Pigsy’s face.

You could still hear MK and Spider Queen fighting, with MK sometimes screaming in fear, but before you could run to him, Mei and Sandy finally appeared on the scene, with the boat crashing through the wall.

It was absolute chaos all around. 

Mei spotted you, but you ran past her, yelling out “we’ll talk later!” as you rushed to go see how MK was holding up with the Queen. 

He was holding up pretty well, much like he did in canon, essentially just stalling until back up came. 

That was you. 

You were back up apparently. 

Spider Queen noticed your presence and smirked. She tossed MK away in favour of approaching you with a look of interest. 

She hummed. “Hmm, you’re quite a strange one, aren’t you?” A glint of cruelty in her eyes as she raised one of her spider arms to strike you, but MK extended his staff to hit her out of the way. 

“Are you okay?” He asked worriedly, you nodded and looked back over at Spider Queen, who quickly recovered from the attack. 

Enraged, she surged at MK, one of her fists were pulled back as if to punch him, but you beat her to the punch. 

Quite literally too. 

As you reeled your uninjured arm back, a purple, sticky liquid covered your arm and your punch had her flying and knocking into the pot, crashing it and making the toxic liquid cover the ground. 

You watched as she struggled to get up, her face was flushed a deeper purple, and she looked ready to either vomit or pass out. 

You took the chance to grab the shocked yet star-struck MK and high tail it out of there to reunite with Pigsy, Tang, Mei and Sandy. 

 

 

 

“What did I tell you not to do?”

“Join in on the mission.”

“And what did you do?”

“Join in on the mission…” You sigh as Mei scolded you for what you did, despite the teleporting being totally against your will. 

“That’s not fair.” MK pouted. “It’s not their fault their powers flipped out.” He explained. 

Sandy looked like he finally understood what happened. “Oh, did you somehow manage to fly there yourself?”

You look at him weirdly. “No? I teleported. What makes you think I can just fly???”

Sandy shrugged. “Hey, you never know.” 

Mei’s face softened a bit, but she still had her arms crossed. “Listen, I’m sorry for yelling at you, and I know you didn’t mean to get involved, but we gotta find some way to get you some control over your powers.”

“That final punch you gave that spider lady was so cool!” MK exclaimed excitedly, shuddering when bringing up the Spider Queen. 

“It knocked that spooky pot over too, I think that’s a good thing.” Your boss said with a comforting smile. 

Mei agreed. “Yeah, who knows what bad that green stuff would do.”

You’ll know soon. 

Mei hugged you, and MK and Sandy quickly joined in to give you a group hug, with Sandy picking all three of you up with ease. 

There was a small beat of comforting silence before Mei’s brain caught up and she gasped. “YOU HAVE POWERS!?”

You winced as she yelled in your ear. 

“WHAT!?” You could hear Tang’s fanboying gasp and Pigsy’s tired sigh from behind you all on the boat. 

Oh boy… here we go again…

AO3 STORY

Chapter 11 : Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a non-damaging move that heals the user, user’s allies and user’s party of all status conditions. 

You know, with all the back to back adventures and episodic format layout that the first season has, it’s actually pretty nice to have a day where you know nothing is bound to happen. 

You and Sandy had mourned over your shop window, it was nice and clean and even had the design of the ships logo on it. 

It’s since been boarded up with wood, and the shop had to be closed for a few days to make sure everything else was in good working order before you reopened. 

But today, you were in your apartment, finally finishing off the last of your cleaning. 

You had the tv on for white noise, playing some re-run of Monkey King; the Animated Series. 

You put your broom and dustpan away and replaced the trash bag in your bin with a new one. You slipped out of your slippers and into your shoes and grabbed the bag of garbage, plus the gross mop water and went outside to the alleyway between your apartment and some random building. 

You tossed the bag away and dumped the water out, and you turned to go back up to your apartment. 

“Hey!” A yell caught your attention, and you turned to see a duo of yellow and green blues rush at you.

You screamed as MK and Mei tackled you to the ground. 

“You’re okay!” Mei exclaimed happily. 

You tilted your head curiously. “What’s this about?” 

MK excitedly held up your previously injured hand, that you had taken the bandages off. The bruising hadn’t completely healed from the punch you dealt, but it was starting to clear up. “Your hand looks better!”

“That doesn’t answer my question.” You deadpanned. 

The two sheepishly chuckled. “We were kinda worried after that whole window crashing thing, sorry about that by the way.” Mei rambled. 

“Sandy said you were stressed about it too, so we got you some things to de-stress!” MK held up a bag he had and handed it to you. 

There were some diffusers with different scents, as well as some face masks and some packs of instant noodles. 

“We thought that we could all have a relaxing night in, just the three of us.” Mei finished. 

The two looked back at you and were startled. You felt your eyes burn as tears threatened to come out. These two were so sweet…

You feel bad for what’s to come. 

“Wait! Please don’t cry, we’re sorry!” MK frantically apologised, taking you into a hug, with Mei joining immediately after. 

You let out a watery laugh. “Don’t be sorry. You two are such sweethearts.” You ruffled both of their heads with a grin. 

The two smiled and let you wipe your tears away before leading them back to your apartment. 

 

 

 

Of course, with these two around, your apartment was bound to return to its previous state of mess. The packets for the instant noodles were haphazardly thrown in the trash and there were some mishaps with the diffuser before you got it properly set up. 

Now the three of you were sitting on your couch, the episode of Monkey King; the Animated Series you left on had changed to another, and you had absolutely no context for what was going on. 

So with your apartment vaguely smelling of peach blossoms and vanilla, face masks placed carefully onto your faces, a nice bowl of noodles in your lap, and a cup of loose leaf tea in your hand, MK took it upon himself to lore dump every single thing he could to catch you up to speed on the animated series. 

“And then, Monkey King fought the Monstrous King of Havoc and saved his adorable baby monkeys, but we’re not done there! Monkey King decided to make a monkey army so that—“

You nodded and ate as you let MK babble on about his favourite show, letting Mei lay back on your shoulder, periodically interrupting MK to show you something funny or cute on her phone. 

Eventually, the afternoon grew to night. Your food was all done, the teapot was refilled and emptied many times, the TV was shut off at some point, and MK was not done with his story. 

“Turns out he was kidnapped by a scorpion demoness, and so Monkey King flew off to save him after being cured of the poison!”

“That’s quite an interesting story, MK.” You said, adjusting yourself so Mei was more comfortable. 

The girl had fallen asleep at some point, her phone rested on her face, which made you laugh. 

MK hummed. “Sorry for keeping you up, we weren’t supposed to be here for so long…” he apologised as he looked at the time on the clock. 

12:03 am. 

You shrugged. “It’s fine, a little sleepover never hurt anyone.” You winked mischievously.

MK nodded with a smile. “Yeah, that’s a good point. Good thing I don’t have to work so early tomorrow.”

“Oh? Why’s that?” You ask curiously. 

“Every week, Pigsy opens up shop a bit later since he’s out at the local market buying produce for the week.” MK explains, yawning at the end. 

He followed Mei in sleeping on your other shoulder immediately, oblivious to your new state of panic, like that self-care night didn’t even do anything. 

Ah shoot…here we go again.

AO3 STORY

Chapter 10 : Outrage

Outrage is a Dragon-type move that inflicts damage for 2-3 turns, afterwards, it will confuse the user. If Outrage is disrupted (such as paralysis or hurting in confusion), it will end. The user will only become confused if Outrage is fully completed. 

When Sandy said that he would be staying with Mei for the night, you prepared yourself for the eventual worst. 

Mei had summoned her dragon form at some point, and you didn’t know the extent of the damage. It mainly hit her giant garden front lawn, but you didn’t know if there was any more collateral. 

Low key, you were probably expecting General Ironclad to burst through your window. 

But one thing you definitely weren’t expecting was Sandy leaving you in charge of the shop. 

In hindsight, it made sense, but it still surprised you.

That meant leaving you the keys to the shop, as well as the keys to the register, and the keys to the fridges, the keys to the tea supply, and a key where he keeps all of his extra cat supplies that he couldn’t fit into his boat.

Add this in with your apartment key, and suddenly, you had all the keys in the world.

Not really, you’re just being overdramatic, but what else are you supposed to do when your boss leaves his newbie employee to take care of his entire store!?

Taking a deep breath, you calm yourself.

Everything will be fine…

 

 

 

Everything was not fine!

Being by yourself was incredibly stressful. You got the brunt of the lunch rush of people wanting tea, and you had to deal with an angry customer who is normally angry so it was more annoying. 

Starts with Red and ends with SON.

Despite all of that, you managed to close up on time. You were listening to the radio as you swept the floors, just vibing, when—

C R A S H

You screamed and turned around. 

And saw General Ironclad had indeed crashed through the shop window, and Mei’s dragon was clearly visible even though it was returning to the girl’s body. 

And in your complete frustration, you scream.

 

 

 

Mei, MK, and Sandy were in the middle of the sleepover when Sandy’s phone began ringing. 

Sandy answered, and seeing Mei and MK’s curious faces, put it on speaker. 

“Hey, uh, Sandy?”

MK and Mei brightened hearing your voice. 

“Hey, what’s up?” Sandy replied. 

“Uhh, what exactly happened over there?”

Your suspicious tone made the three sweat drop. “A bull clone infiltrated my home and tried to steal some of my fam’s important stuff!” Mei explained. 

“Great, uuum, did the bull clone wear a cape and fancy hat?”

“Yeah? Why?”

You turned on facecam to reveal the shattered window, as well as the almost decimated bull clone being pulled away by Red Son, who was grumbling incoherently. 

“Maybe, next time Mei decides to blast someone, she should work on her aim.”

On the other end, you could hear Mei and MK laughing as Sandy let out a high pitched shriek. “MY WINDOW!!!”

Chapter 12 : Teleport

Teleport, if used by a wild Pokemon, allows it to successfully run away from battle. If used by a Pokemon in your own party, the Pokemon will switch out with another, and will fail if the teleporting Pokemon is the only battling Pokemon left.

Your eye twitched as you walked into the street market in search of something Sandy sent you to get. 

Curse you and your bad luck. 

And now you somehow ended up following Pigsy and Tang through the marketplace. You had stumbled into the two ( curse you back luck!) and after you let it slip that you’ve never been to the market before, the two kindly decided to show you around. 

And it was at this point that your feeling of dread from your sleepover came back full force as you realised you were becoming less of a background character and more like a supporting character. 

Wonderful.

You spent most of the time zoning out, because by this point, Pigsy was just dragging you and Tang around analysing carrots in excruciating detail. 

You spent the next while like that until you came across a very broken down stall. 

Spider Queen. 

You sneakily manage to dip back into the crowd, neither of them noticing that you had disappeared. 

You left the marketplace with the things you had gotten, but your list wasn’t done. 

Saving Pigsy and Tang is more important!

 

 

 

“Sandy! Guys!” You barged into the Sea-Crate base, something Sandy had shown you just in case something bad happened. 

The three all yelled in shock, seeing you so frazzled. Sandy walks over to you worriedly. “Woah, are you okay?”

“This isn’t about me! Pigsy and Tang are in danger!”

“I knew it!” MK shouted as Mei pulled up the camera footage to replay it. 

It showed Pigsy and Tang talking with and following after the Spider Queen, then them falling into the trap she made, then the screens went static. 

“Uh, Spider Demon!? Come on. No. Ew, yuck, I hate spiders! Hate, hate, hate! With their eyes and feet and furry butts!” MK whined fearfully. 

Ah, you forgot about his arachnophobia…

You sigh. “What do we do now?”

“Only one thing to do! It’s time for Operation Rescue!” Mei declared in determination.

“Operation: Rescue Pigsy and Tang from the nightmare hole!” You laughed before trying to follow after the group, but Mei stopped you.

“Nope! Sorry bestie, but you’ve been too stressed out! So leave this mission to us!” She said.

You pouted, but relented. The only person who knew about your weirdo powers was Sandy, and no one else.

You stayed back, watching as Sandy’s water friendly adventure boat drove off. Now that you thought about it… you’re actually rather thankful you aren't there if Mei really drives it through the city.

But you still wanted to help! Kind of…

You didn’t know why, but you guessed that the HeroicTendencies™ of this world is finally getting to you. Crossing your arms and pouting, you go to sit down, only to just fall butt first onto the floor.

But not butt first onto the metal floor of the sea crate base…

You fall butt first onto stone, and you open your eyes to find yourself surrounded by jagged stones and large webs.

Spider Queen’s base…

HOW THE FU–!

Chapter 8 : Double Team

Double Team is a non-damaging move that allows the user to multiply themselves rapidly, raising the user's evasiveness. 

You were tied up.

You may have newfound powers now, but they were clearly no match for what MK had.

You watched as the artist clone painted away at Sandy’s boat, and while you were glad that you were not at the Anti-Gavity Arcade (where Porty Clone reigns supreme for 15 whole hours of non-stop partying), you also can’t help but wonder what happened to lead up to this situation.

Wait, you remember now!

 

 

 

It started off as a peaceful day, as per usual. You and Sandy were both in the tea store, organizing everything before going for lunch. Sandy was kind enough to order Pigsy’s Noodles for you, and you were super excited to finally try. 

If Princess Iron Fan’s reaction to his noodles mean anything, then his noodle making skills were truly heaven-sent. 

Mo meowed as MK entered the shop. “Pigsy’s Noodles!” He cheered. 

“Hi MK.” You and Sandy greeted him. Sandy struck up some light conversation while you looked into the bag. 

The scent had you drooling already. 

Sandy laughed at your mesmerized face as you smelled the bag. “They’ve been excited about it all day. I won’t keep you waiting, I’m sure you’re busy.”

“Okay! Enjoy your food!” MK dashed out just as quickly as he came, and you and Sandy figured out who’s noodles were whose. 

“It smells so good…” was the first thing you said when Sandy popped the lids off the takeout bowls. 

Now I understand why Tang’s always eating there…

You grabbed the chopsticks and clumsily picked up some noodles to eat. 

And as soon as they were in your mouth. 

Mo screeched as you fell off the chair and onto the floor. Sandy looked over at you worriedly, but it was quickly replaced by a smile at your theatrics. 

You had sparkles in your eyes, and you sat back up. “That was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted.” You whispered reverently before shoving more noodles into your mouth. 

“I’m glad! Pigsy makes amazing noodles!” Sandy chuckled and the two of you continued to eat in a peaceful silence.

 

 

 

Everything continued on as normal, although as the days went by, you began noticing how MK began getting more and more exhausted.

And it wasn’t until you were on Sandy’s boat with MK on your off day, helping them paint it, that it hit you.

Oh no…

The clones…

“MK, are you okay?” You asked nervously, and MK turned to you with visible bags under his eyes. 

Okay, so far so good, Tang hasn’t told him about the clones yet…

“Yeah, I’m fine!” He replies before returning to painting the boat. 

You frown. “You don’t have to stay here, y’know? I can help Sandy out and you can relax. You look like you need it.” 

MK sighed tiredly. “I do, but I’ll feel bad…” He mutters quietly, and you ruffle his hair. 

“Don’t feel bad, hon, I’ll help Sandy out here, you deserve a break.” You gently take the paintbrush from his hand and nudge him away from the boat. 

He nodded. “‘Kay, see you tomorrow.” 

He walked off, presumably to head back to Pigsy, and you were hoping he would take a nap.

Whatever you do Tang, do NOT tell him about the clones today!
