Macaque usually drops off Ming, and Wukong Picks her up

Ming squealed excitedly, vibrating excitedly in Macaque's arms, as the pair of disguised simians approached Pigsy's shop. Tang and Pigsy looked up, immediately recognizing Ming and Macaque, as they walked through the door.

"Hello Pigsy, hello Tang, lovely morning isn't it?" Macaque greeted, setting his daughter down on a barstool, looking around the shop. "Where's MK?"

"Morning to you too Macaque," Pigsy hummed, handing Ming a box of homemade Peach Tarts, which the little girl gladly accepted. "As for the kid, he's almost done getting ready for work."

Macaque nodded, "Are you certain, that it isn't too much trouble to allow Ming, to go on delivery runs with MK?"

"Nonsense, Ming's a well behaved kid," Pigsy waved the simian off. "Plus, the customers always say how sweet she is."

It was only a couple days ago, that the Weather Station incident occurred, and Macaque had made a habit of dropping Ming off in the store. The first time he came in with Ming in disguise, the others were worried, as to who the stranger carrying the girl was. Of course, the scar running through his right eye, and his voice gave Macaque away when he greeted everyone. Since then, they'd gotten used to just calling him Macaque, instead of his more formal name. 

"If you insist," The older simian hummed out, giving Ming a kiss on the forehead, and walking towards the door. "Be good yèdēng. I'll be back at my usual time."

"Okay papa!" Ming waved her father off. "Love you!"

"Love you too Ming," Macaque smiled, walking out the door.

Right as he left, MK stumbled down the stairs, "Sorry I'm late Pigsy!"

"Yeah, yeah," The pig demon huffed, waving the teen off, as he went into the back to grab some deliveries for the two.

"Ming! You're here!" MK blinked, spotting the little girl, who was nibbling on a tart. The little girl giggled, as MK gave her a hug, before ruffling her hair. "How long have you been waiting?"

"Papa just left," Ming hummed, making sure to swallow her food, before speaking.

"Order up!" Pigsy said, holding out several bags of noodles for MK to deliver. "Get moving MK, and make sure to keep an eye on Ming!"

"On it!~" MK said cheerfully, him and Ming walking off to the Noodle Cart, making sure to be buckled in before driving off.

The little monkey still couldn't get over how pretty the city was, looking at the various shops and people they passed by, before coming to a stop at a house. The two climbed out, MK handing Ming the meal, before ringing the bell.

"Pigsy's Noodles!~" The two smiled, Ming holding out the order, from where she sat in the teen's arms.

"Aww," Cooed a middle aged woman, her teenage daughter standing next to her. "What an adorable pair of siblings~"

The two blinked in surprise as the woman took the order, with her daughter handing the money to the two, right before the door closed. The mother wasn't exactly wrong in her assumption, as the two shared the same hair and skin color, the only difference being their eyes. Though her words still surprised them. In the end, the two decided to shake it off and go about delivering their orders.

Soon enough, every order had been delivered, and they were about to cross the bridge that lead back to the shop, when they bumped into Sandy.

"Hey you two!~" The cheerful water spirit smiled at the two. "Boy did you two arrive at the right time!~ Scoop up the brush you two, we're giving the ole' girl a fresh coat of paint!~"
