Sleepy walks around the market seemingly bored ,,macaque was finally convinced to go hang out with zarah to get her memories back ,mk is out doing his remote training , mei is probably with him or home doing repairs to her bike, and sitting in the store with tang and pigsy gets boring after a while,,he would hang out with sandy...buttt the cats try to eat him and he really isn't into tea or yoga n stuff like that so hes opted to steal some things from the market hoping it'll bring him some entertainment , many things have caught his eye , like redson who hes currently walking with
"Hey fire boy! It's been a while!! " redson glares at him "hello fishsticks . What do you want?" Sleepy grins "wellll i was hoping that i could join youuuu in your shopping!!!!" redson rolls his eyes "not like i have a choice in this" sleepy giggles at this

Sleepy ends up accompanying redson through his grocery shopping
"You know you look real familiar!!" Sleepy says attempting to start a conversation , Redson looks over at him "maybe you heard of me when you were a kid,,i mean my parents are high level demons!" He boasts "when i was a kid,,?" Sleepy asks confused " yea? You know when you were little" redson says also confused now "thats not what im confused about,,you do know im older than you right?" Redson blinks unamused "yea..i know ,,thats what i mentioned you being a kid and not a baby. " he rolls his eyes "your parents probably mentioned something about my family when i was born"
"i dont have parents,,and im older then you by a lot" "what do you mean?" Redson asks genuinely confused "I'm as old as wukong" "HUH?" Redson looks at sleepy shocked "that's impossible i mean..you live with the noodle boy right??" "Yup! I took over his bathroom,,has nothing to do with age!" "I guess you're right about that but you just so,,childish!!"
Sleepy shrugs "zarah used to say that im a child with the wisdom of an old man," "she's right!! I mean how have you survived this long??" "I'm immortal" "how??" "Peaches!" Redson sighs exasperated
"You know the humans used to call me the 'great terror of the sea'!" "THAT WAS YOU???" Redson yells in both shock and confusion Sleepy nods happily "am i really that well known?" Redson nods "not as much as the monkey king but known enough that many demons knew to be wary of you,,you'd attack at any chance and have escaped being caught by the celestial guard multiple times ,,hell my parents have anything of value securely hidden so it would be impossible for you to steal!" Sleepy smiles throughly amused "Bet you 10 bucks i can" redson sighs "thats not the point! You are a menace in the scripts but in reality your just some idiot who probably has no idea what hes doing"
" i didnt" sleepy shrugs and redson looks over "wha?" " i didnt know" he shrugs again "the same day i got my cut is the day i found out i have powers,,most of me causing tsunamis or droughts or floods was me figuring out what the hell im doing" redson looks at sleepy "wow.." sleepy tilts his head "you really are idiotic..and yet your old enough to be my father,," sleepy smiles "i mean can you blame me? I didnt have any sort of mentor! " sleepy giggles "enough about my past..you know how to steal?"
-
After a long day of properly teaching redson how to steal,,they end up at the fire boys house,,for some reason "why did you follow me home again?" "Why not? " redson sighs
"You better leave before my parents find you" "pfft what are they gonna do?" "Kill you probably" "immortal , remember?" Redson groans before looking up at sleepy
"Can i have one of your scales?" "What." "To see what the properties in it are, i mean i dont think there's been anything like you" sleepy shakes his head " sorry no can do, ripping out scales to give to someone is not only painful but a very intimate thing between fishes ,like wedding rings for humans!" "Ah.." "you can have one when i preen!" "Like a bird?" Redson asks unamused
Sleepy giggles "yea!! My scales get funky when theyre dirty so i take out loose ones and clean them out!" "How do you clean them?" "I use kelp and seaweed the little cleaner fishies are helpful too!" Redson nods
"my turn to ask! Why does your hair go on fire when you're mad?" He asks tilting his head "My power is connected to my emotions. In order not to start fires i direct all of it to my hair so hopefully nothing catches on fire" sleepy giggles "if i were you i would just like everything on fire" redson shakes his head "luckily you've got the opposite,,even though you already basically caused many catrasphes who knows what you could've done with fire" "I've done a lot with fire actually!" "I'm not even gonna ask."
Redson suddenly gets called by his mother "stay here if you know what's good for you." Sleepy shrugs as redson stands up but princess iron fan decided to be impatient barging into redson room causing sleepy to quickly hide
-
Redson sits on his bed looking down after his mom leaves,,sleepy sits next to him coming out of his hiding place "do you even want this?" "Huh-" "i mean being some evil mastermind" sleepy begins "is it what you want or what your parents want? I mean you're doing all of this for your family but is this truly what you want?" Redson looks at sleepy his eyes widening "you should do what you want to do be who you want to be! Don't let your parents step on you like this you should be able to liveeeee!!!!" Sleepy grins "how about this! Let's hang out whenever your free gimme your phone"
Sleepy yoinks redson phone before he can answer putting his phone number in "i dont understand you" redson says "whadaya mean?" " i mean that I've tried to kill you and the noodle boy so many times , I've stolen from you i destroyed a part of your house! And yet you still wish to be friends?"
Sleepy smiles softly at redson "i wouldn't be here if it weren't for second chances. " sleepy jumps up and stretches " now i gotta go ! Mk has been spamming me with messages " redson gets up "I'll take you home " "aww thanks fireboy!!!" "Quiet water menace"
