"Ugh my head... Where am I?"
MK comes from behind a corner. "You're in my house."
"Oh...I'm guessing you want answers."
"Uh yeah! How do you know the Monkey King? How old are you? How did you die? And what did the Monkie king do to make you so mad?!?"
"Alright, have you ever heard of the story of The Monkey Princess?"
"Yeah why?" MK takes a second to process the information. "WAIT THAT'S YOU?!?"
"Yeah. Surprise I'm the daughter of The Monkey King."
"So the Monkey King basically killed you?!?"
"Yeah and he also did so much worse."
"What can be worse than death?!?"
"Death was my escape from all the horrible things he did to me. At first it was awful to find out that I had died but later on I felt so much better. I finally felt free."
"He murdered my uncle and every time I did something wrong he would smack me. I used to always have bruises on my body kind of how you looked after getting beat up by my uncle."
"You know it's kind of funny."
"What's funny?"
"You're everything I strived to be when I was younger. You get the fatherly love I didn't and you mastered your powers within a year when I couldn't master simple clones for half of my life. Yup you really are the perfect successor."
"I'm not perfect. I still have a lot to learn. What powers could you master before you died?"
"I mastered about four. Clones, Size Manipulation, Golden Vision, and Lock Picking."
"Wow you're so cool! I don't even know how to do Lock Picking or Size Manipulation! Could you teach me?"
"I'm not sure you wouldn't want me as a teacher. I can't even do those things anymore."
"Are you kidding me you would be a way better teacher! I've had to learn most of these things on my own!"
"I guess I could help you. If you do one thing for me."
"Sure! What would it be?"
"Set up a meeting for me and the Monkey King. I want to look my abuser in the eye and call him out for the abuser and shitty parent he is."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure. I've been waiting more than a hundred years for this.
"I'll take you on the weekend because I have work. Ok?"
"Alright can I stay here tonight? I really don't want to be alone."
"Yeah! We can have sleepovers like we used to! I'll go get some snacks and we can watch some movies like we used to!"

Lydia yawns and opens her eyes. She spent the night on the couch. Once she opens her eyes MK is immediately in her vision.
"OH MY GOD."
"So what's it like being an immortal?"
"YOU SCARED ME."
"Sorry, Sorry! I've just been waiting for you to wake up! I really want to know!"
Alright fine. Being an immortal... it's not all it's cracked up to be. I didn't really do friendships until you guys because I didn't want to outlive them. You guys were just so persistent. And I'm glad I became friends with you."
"That's so sad! So you've never been in love before?"
She blushes in embarrassment "Well... I wouldn't say never."
"Wait do you like someone?! Who are they?!?" He gasps "IS IT REDSON?!?!"
"What?!? How did you know!?!"
"It was kind of obvious because of how you acted with the fake him in the cablash."
"Yeah I should have known it was all fake."
"What? Why!"
"Just look at my face!"
"So? You look awesome!"
"..."
"Plus Mei saw how you and Redson acted at the weather station! She said he was totally in love with you!"
"Really? I didn't take you or Mei for the romantic type."
"I'm usually not but this is one of my best friend's we are talking about!"
"It's not like anything will happen. I'm way too scared to do anything."
MK is silent for a moment. "Hey can I use your phone? I need to look up something quick."
"Sure." Lydia hands him her phone.
"Same passcode as before?"
"Yup."
"Alright!"
In a few minutes Lydia hears the texting noise. "Who are you messaging?"
"Ohhh just Redson" he gives a cheeky smile."
"WHAT?!? GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK!"
She starts chasing him around the apartment like an older sister chasing their younger brother.
"ALMOST DONE!"
"I SWEAR MK IF YOU SEND ANYTHING I'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EARLY GRAVE!!!"
"ANDDDD SEND!" He stops in his tracks making Lydia crash into him. "Here you go!"
Lydia snatches her phone back and reads the message.

Princess: Hey Redson! I was hoping you would go on a date with me!

Lydia was about the delete the message when she saw him texting back. MK was watching over her shoulder.
_____________________________________________________
Princess: Hey Redson! I was hoping you would go on a date with me!
Red: Sure. Where and when?
_____________________________________________________
"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?!?!"
"Tell him to meet you at the park, tomorrow at noon or something!"
"Alright..."
_____________________________________________________
Princess: Hey Redson! I was hoping you would go on a date with me!
Red: Sure. Where and when?
Princess: Tomorrow, around noon. At the park in the middle of the city.
Red: Sounds great. I'll drive you there tomorrow.

"I have to call Mei!" He rushes to get his phone.
"Holy shit. I can't believe he actually agreed."
