"Order up!"
I spin around to grab the fresh bowls from Pigsy then serving it to the customers.
Not the most busiest of days but busy. After I prep some of the orders for delivery, i take the moment of peace to talk to my new friend. I had a load of questions, ifs not everyday you get to talk to a demon!
"So, Sleepy!"
The fish demon looked up from his bowl of noodles, his face stuffed with it. "Hm?"
"Did you name yourself that? Its such a weird name, but I guess in a way unique" I question him, though I lean more towards weird. Can't blame me, you don't go around meeting people named sleepy!
"I named myself that!" He says proudly with his mouth full of noodles. I nod my head, "How did you and my bro meet?"
"Uh, I kinda, might've, maybe stole from you guys a few days ago. But, I did pay back the meal!" Before I can say anything Pigsy turns around,
"We're you not listening? I told you about that fish stealing!" He scowled at me.
"Ah, but he payed in the end!" I respond. As long as sleepy payed it doesn't matter!
"Just get back to work, Zhara!" I pout moving away and started to pack more delivery orders. Before I know it, there was basically a fountain of orders.. I turn to pigsy who just noticed. And boy, was he livid. I slide over to sleepy, since he was still there. "Do you, have any idea where mk might be?" I chuckle nervously. He shrugs continuing to eat his noodles, thats a lot of help. Suddenly, the door rings, walking in... MK! Before he can even do anything, hes getting scolded by Pigsy.
"Huh, world record of how quick to get scolded by Pigsy." I say over the counter, cupping my hand to my face.
"That's impressive" Sleepy says and honestly it kinda is. I go to grab the orders that MK has stacked up then handing it to him, Sleepy has already left to the delivery car waiting for MK. Now that they both left, it's boring again.. I'm stuck with a freeloader and Pigsy. Though Mr.Tangs stories are always interesting.
"Hey Tang, I'll give you some noodles,on me of course. If you can tell me some stories about the Monkey king." I smile
"Deal"  He says without a bit of hesitation.

Finally it's my break, I sit at one of the tables taking out my phone. Some peace to myself! And, the doors slammed open with two idiots. MK is carrying a notable red staff, both are out of breath as if they were running from someone. I slam my face down to the table, today is gonna be something. MK starts explaining something, it only perks my interest when I heard monkey king, the others though start laughing . I pick my head up, "Hm? Is there another story you read about, MK?" I question. Tang laughs, pushing his glasses up, "No, he's saying that the monkey kings actually real"
"But, what about Sleepy? He's a demon and apparently knows monkey king." I sweat dropped. Before he can respond, that staff just EXPANDS. I think I zone out in shock, cause suddenly we're on a ship. pls don't let this be another field trip w the frizz? No way! Cruisin' on down Main Street
You're relaxed and feelin' good
Next thing that you know you're seein'
Octopus in the neighborhood!

Surfin' on a sound wave
Swingin' through the stars
Take a left at your intestine
Take your second right past Mars.
