It was still late, the sun hadn't risen yet and Wukong got off his bed and left the room. He decided to go get some fresh air and clear his mind. When he passed by Macaque on the way out he stopped to look at him lying there peacefully with bandages with blood going through them. Wukong had a guilty look on his face, he was walking up to Macaque thinking if he should change the bandage just in case of any infection, but right before he was about to touch Macaque's head something changed his mind. He pulled his arm away from Macaque and quickly walked out of the house. Wukong sat down on a cliff and watched the city down below. A few monkey friends came and sat down next to Wukong. One had a peach with them and was handing it to Wukong. But he declined. They all sat there and looked down at the city light. "You guys still like to hang out with him?" Wukong asks, turning his head toward the monkey. The little monkey was nodding, and jumping up and they were saying that Macaque would come and hang out with them and bring food when SWK leaves to train with Mk. Wukong smiled but just for a few seconds before looking back at the city with a serious face. Thinks to himself about the past, when Wukong killed Macaque in a blind fit of rage. "It wasn't my fault for killing him right? If he didn't try to harm master none of that would have happened." An hour had passed and the monkeys had already fallen asleep on Wukong's lap. Wukong also seems to have fallen asleep after thinking too much of the past.

It was already the afternoon, and Mk was trying to finish his delivery fast so he could go check up on Macaque and Monkey King. He got lazy and decided to summon a clone. He left right away and once he got to SWK's home he knocked and went in. He noticed that Macaque was still sleeping on the couch. He went to look for Monkey King but he was nowhere to be found. "Monkey King?" No response. Mk got a little worried and went out to look around and spotted Monkey King still asleep under a tree by the cliff. Mk went up to him and shook him. "Monkey King... MONKEY KING!" The sudden shout woke SWK up, also the little Monkey sleeping on his lap. "Kid? What are you doing here, we don't have training today." Monkey King rubbed his eye and got up. "I came to check up on you and Macaque. And I brought noodles for you guys but it seems like Macaque is still asleep." Macaque still here?" "Yea, do you think he'll be ok, what if he damaged his head badly.?" Mk had a bit of a worried look on his face. "Since when do you care about him didn't he steal your power?" SWK looked up at Mk. "But still. wasn't Macaque once your- " before Mk could finish, there was a loud explosion. Both Mk and SWK turned toward the city and saw two giant snakes. "Ugh it's Yin and Jin again, sorry Monkey King I think imma get going now." Mk took out his staff and launch himself into the air and went bye-bye. SWK waved goodbye to Mk before turning around and heading back into the house.

Time passed, and it was evening. Wukong just finished showering, walking out of the shower he looked over at the couch seeing Macaque still not awake yet. He had already changed his bandage since the blood was leaking through the bandage and Wukong didn't want blood on his couch and floor. SWK starts wondering if it is normal for someone to sleep this much. He walked up to Macaque checking his pause making sure he wasn't dead. It was normal. "Could it be because he hasn't been sleeping and just felt tired?" Wukong suddenly felt a breeze pass right through his fur and heard some creaks. He looks around to see a shadow on the wall. Wukong went into fight mode until he saw two little shadow monkeys pop through the wall and realized it was Macaque shadow monkeys. It was Savage and Rumble. They have been searching for Macaque because he hasn't returned to the dojo for almost two days. When they saw him on the couch they jumped out of the wall and ran straight to him, ignoring Wukong who just stood there looking surprised. Both the shadow monkeys were trying to wake Macaque up but it didn't work. "What happened to father," Rumble asks, turning around to meet Wukong's wide eyes. "Father?" He stood there dumbfounded.  Since when did Macaque have Kids? He snapped out of his thoughts when Rumble tugged on his shirt. "Oh uh...he's just really tired and fell asleep, don't worry."  They kept trying to wake Macaque up but Wukong picked both the little monkeys, Savage and Rumble were moving around trying to get Wukong to drop them but soon stopped. Both the shadow monkeys were already tired after the whole day of looking for Macaque and wasted all their energy, and were worn out. Wukong only had one bed and a couch. He thought about it and decided to move Macaque into his room. He brought a blanket for the two shadow monkeys that already fall asleep while holding each other. Placing the blanket on them gently he smiled remembering the old times when he and Macaque would also snuggle together in bed until one another fell asleep. It was a nice memory. Wukong walked back into his room realizing that he and Macaque now have to sleep in the same bed. He laid down facing the opposite side of Macaque, sleeping with Macaque again after so many years he felt comfortable without knowing his tailed intertwined sith Macaque before drifting off to sleep.

The next day, Wukong slowly opened his eyes and got up. He looks to the right of him noticing Macaque is gone. He quickly got up and ran out of his room to see Macaque making breakfast and the two shadow monkeys playing Wukong's game. "Hey, peach you're awake!" The name peach rings inside Wukong's head. "What did you just call me..?" Macaque looked up at him with a confused look. "Peach?" SWK stared at Macaque's eyes, the eye that contained hatred and loathes against him was no longer there. It was the eye of a caring and warmhearted person. The black fur monkey that stands in front of Wukong was no longer the Macaque that tried to take revenge on him, it was his Macaque, the one he once knew and  cherished.."Mango?"

(Does that even make sense..)
