Outside the McDonalds:
The sun beamed radiantly upon the street, blinding our group of friends as they exited the fast food place and were reminded that the outside world existed. Salt and crumbs decorated the path behind them as they munched on the last of the fries (without the pizza) they had ordered. A light chatter accompanied the birdsong as the group exchanged banter, talked about what they had seen and slandered Ethan some more.
They were thus completely caught off guard by a panting and sweating Bobby Zuggy who had clearly just made it back from a trip. Alina immediately swooned at the hunk of metal - he was just soooooo hot after exercising :hot_face: :hot_face: :hot_face:, literally.
"Chug, chug, chug", boomed Bob and the onlookers and proceeded to eject two passengers from his carriage.
Alina hoped he would eject more than that :smirk: :smirk: :smirk:.
Mik and Maru tumbled clumsily onto the pavement; their faces smashed into the ground as they somersaulted with the grace of a boogieing baboon. With herculean effort, Maru heaved his face off the stones and gazed directly into the mouth of the endless, mind-numbing abyss. Oh wait, it's just Ashu. Hoping to receive some care, and also maybe some plasters, from his darling girlfriend, he reached out pathetically whilst groaning with effort. However-
"OMG, MAYU WAYU IS SO PRETTY AND COOL AND AMAZING AND TALENTED", fawned Ashu, sniffing the air surrounding her beloved Mayu and completely ignoring her boyfriend's suffering.
"Um, I think Ethan's face is more talented", replied Mayu who was desperately trying to put some distance between herself and the cuckoo with crushes on kids.
"MAYU WAYU NOTICED ME", Ashu screamed, passing out from the excitement and landing directly onto Maru's spine. This gave Maru the effect of appearing to be a steam bellow, as white, hot, thick steam burst from his ears the moment Ashu landed on him. It reminded Alina of something else white, hot and thick ;DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Maru was fuming. Why did Ashu devote all her time lavishing affection over Mayu??!!!! What did Mayu have that he didn't, aside from being better, cooler, prettier and more talented but not as talented as Ethan's face???
Lifting himself from the ground, he looked up to glare at Mayu only to lock eyes with someone right across the street. The newly wedded Albedo cut-out was similarly enraged. After all, his beloved wife had been flirting with this 'Mayu' person ever since they had left the McDonald's. Did Ashu already want a divorce after 10 minutes?? Why wasn't she consummating the marriage??!!!
As Ashu's two dejected lovers stewed in their jealousy, a realisation dawned upon them: they were both the same. They were both rejected by Ashu, both left in favour of Mayu, both held the same bloodlust against Ashu's diverted attention. It was only natural that they should work together in this. Maru approached the Albedo cut-out, hoping to discuss strategy and share camaraderie with a new and dear friend.
Just then a wayward pebble caught under Maru's shoe, causing him to fall right on top of Albedo and landing in a position that would have Albedo simps dying to be in his place. Mayu stared into Albedo's dead, flat, cardboard eyes and he heard his heart beat louder. Why should he waste his effort chasing the Mayu chaser, when he can have this beautiful piece of card?
Paying no mind to Maru and Albedo's impromptu make-out session, Ashu sprang back up from the pavement, slapping herself into consciousness so she could continue basking in Mayu's radiance.
"Mayu wayu~, please hold me in your arms forever~", she begged of her idol.
"I do say that is quite unproper, my dear lady", objected Mik, "As her official consort and suitor, I alone reserve the privilege to be held in my most glorious Maryum's embrace for all of eternity".
"Awwww, Mikumiku is soooo cute when he's overprotective of Mayu wayu with his little cat ears", cooed Ashu, "I could never not reward such a good boy!", she exclaimed as she stuffed pizza fries into Mik's poor, unwilling mouth. Mik collapsed to the floor with a meow.
Mayu gasped dramatically upon seeing this horrendous assault on her boyfriend worthy of at least 50 years in prison for committing war crimes.
"ASHU, HOW COULD YOU!", she screeched, running to Mik's side but stopping just 5 metres away. It would be unwise to approach such a contaminated body any closer, and Mayu wasn't quite ready to die today. Pulling out the hazmat suit she had bought at Sainsbury's earlier (shush it's canon now), she cautiously approached the poison and used a pair of tongs to remove the pizza fries. Having removed the public hazard, Mayu sighed in relief at seeing Mik's breathing return, before YEETING the pizza fries into Ashu's noncey face (deserved).
Ashu lit up with pure joy at the prospect of receiving a gift from the heavens and caught the fries like a dog catching a frisbree. She gobbled it down like a turkey in heat as her heart soared to the skies above. Mayu Wayu loved her enough to give her this!!! She slammed her head to the floor and bowed at Mayu's magnificence. She was met with the partially digested McDonald's food Mayu had ordered earlier.
Ethan was very sceptical of the whole situation. First, his wallet had taken a massive hit, and now Mayu was being hit on. He just wanted to leave and go home as it was almost wayyyyy past his beddytime. Unfortunately for the talented face, Bob sucked him into the carriage alongside everyone else, before spitting out a few innocent passerbys, taking off as he began flying through the sky like a fly.
