From that day forward, Mei had joined Mk and Red son on their outings. Mk was sweet and polite, Mei was energetic and funny. Red son was quiet.

Even though he was quiet, he enjoyed everything. He enjoyed everything in silence. Even if it never seemed like he was having fun, he was.

Red son was inspired by their kindness. So much so that he wanted to return the favor.

From everything he had learned, he knew slightly what normal people such as Mei and Mk would find fun, enjoyable and entertaining, but slightly wasn't good enough.

Red son leaped up from his slumber and checked the window beside him. The sky was still black. It was incredibly early.

The bed was crowded.

Mk slept like a dying starfish and Mei had her entire upper half off of the bed, upside down. Red son was in the corner trying not to laugh at their awkward positions.

He quietly stepped out of the bed to think about what to do. His idea was to surprise Mei and Mk with something fun, But what?

"Hmm.... Maybe I'll search some things to do with friends?" He thought aloud quietly.

He slowly stepped toward the computer at Mk's desk and opened it to the browser. He typed carefully.

"Things to do with friends"

He scrolled through the websites.

"Things to do with boyfriends/girlfriends? I mean.. Mei is a girl and Mk is a boy and they're both my friends... that works."

He clicked onto the website confidently and browsed through the list.

"Perfect." He mumbled. 

He closed the computer and got his wallet with a few bucks from helping Pigsy with the restaurant.

Red son quickly ran outside to get some groceries leaving Mei and Mk alone in hopes of coming back before they woke up.

Mk stretched awake at the same moment Red son barged inside, drenched in sweat.

"Oh! Red son! Did you go for a run?"

Red thought for a moment.

"Uh- Yeah.."

Unexpectedly, Mei was already awake typing aggressively on her phone.

"Sorry guys! My moms making me stay home today! I have to go practice the stupid dragon ritual or whatever. I'll text you!"

By then, she was already halfway out the door, leaving Mk and Red son alone.

"Oh?" They both say confused at the same time.

"So? What should we do today? I'm thinking we could go bowling or-"

Mk was cut off my Red son.

"Actually, I have an idea. Lets go out for lunch!"

Mk checked his phone. It was already 12:30.

"Good idea. I'm starving!"
