Duplication

Pigsy rings a bell, "Order up! Come on, get the let out." MK nods, "On it!" He puts on his headphones and drives around in the tuk-tuk delivering noodles, "Pigsy's Noodles, Pigsy's Noodles! Pigsy's Noodles! Pigsy's Noodles! Pigsy's Noodles!" He then runs into Sandy at the Harbor on his way back.

Sandy smiled, "MK! Well boy, did you arrive at the right time." He shows a paint brush, "Scoop up the brush! We're giving the old girl a fresh coat of paint!" MK smiled and gets out of the tuk-tuk with a paint brush and bucket, "Yeah! Painting boats is my middle name!" Sandy and MK paint the boat, showing off the fresh blue coat as the two fist bump at the end.

After that, MK decided to visit Y/n as he was holding his 'NightLight' journal. Once he came at the cove, he sees Y/n eating a raw fish as he sat next to her. Y/n finishes eating her raw fish. MK took out another book as he began to teach her some words as she kinda got it right. She only got at least five words.

After teaching, it was Nighttime as MK decides to leave and gets ready to sleep on his bed. MK whispered, "Now for eight to twelve hours of uninterrupted- Mei!" MK widen his eyes as he sat up as Mei was pulling clothes out of his drawer, "Get up, get up, get up! We are going out!" MK smiled as the two spend all night at the arcade, as Mei cheered, "Woohoo! Anti-Gravity Arcade, yo!" MK nodded, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

- Daytime -

Pigsy rings a bell, "Order up!" "Okay, Pigsy!" Yelled MK. Mk yawns as he went to deliver Noodles, "Pigsy Noodles. Pigsy's Noodles."

Sandy questioned, "How about a nice sunset orange?" MK nods as he helps Sandy paint.

MK shows pictures from a picture book as Y/n purrs in interest.

Then at night, he is briefly seen at the arcade snoring as Mei cheers on.

The cycle continues as MK attends 24/7 to whatever tasks his friends need help with.

One day, MK flops over the counter in exhaustion. Tang raised a brow, "Wow, MK. You look like hot garbage. Tired?" MK raised his head, "What, me? No, I just need to close my eyes for a couple of seconds..." He suddenly collapses into Tang's bowl of noodles.

Tang sighs as he picks MK's face with his chopsticks, "You're pushing yourself too hard, MK. Working all day, partying all night, painting boats, and sneaking off? It's not good for a growing boy. You need to have time to relax." MK sighs as he crossed his arms, "I just- I don't want to let my friends down, you know. It's like I want to help out in store, do arts and crafts with Sandy, helping someone, and party with Mei. But it's too hard. I'm just one guy." Tang shakes his head, "Too bad you can't make duplicates of yourself, like Monkey King."

MK raised a brow, "Huh?" Tang grabs MK's book and flips to a section, "You know one of Monkey King's 72 transformations. Pluck out some hair. Blow on it." MK takes out some of his hair, "Okay." Then the two watch it settle to the ground. Tang looked back to the book, "And some Monkeys pop out." A clone forms as Tang closed the book, "Yep, a perfect clone of you pops out. Exactly what I said would happen."

Both MKs stare at each other, "Whoa! Holy moly! I look exactly like me!" The real MK turns to Tang, "Oh ho! This solves everything! Now I can be in all the placed at all the times!" Both MKs thanked him, "Thanks, Mr Tang! Couldn't have done it without you!" Tang watched as the two MKs leave, "Hmm. If I wasn't so relaxed and cool, I'd probably be really worried about the consequences of this."
