The Multiversal Shadow

Calabash

Y/n's POV:

I woke up to rumbling, like it was an earthquake, "woah!" I looked at mk.

"What?  Earthquake!  Oh, no-o-o-o. All my pwecious pwossessions. Huh? 9:01. We're late for work y/n! My staff, my staff, where's my staff? Staff? Pigsy's gonna kill us! Okay. Socks. Jacket. Bandana. Don't forget about your jacket! Let's go."

Mk tossed me my jacket, I quickly got ready and rushed downstairs with mk.

"And we're here. Pigsy!  We're so sorry we're late. We overslept, and I guess I didn't set an alarm?"

"Honestly, I don't even remember going to bed."

"And the earthquake, and-and-and-- please don't fire us."

We both got on the floor apologising, until I heard pigsy laugh. We both turned our heads up, confused.

"Fire you? Ha! Why would I fire you?"

"er... Well... Last time you said, "If you are one minute late ever again, you are fired."

I spoke up, but then Mr. Tang laughed.

"That doesn't sound like my best friend Pigsy."

"er...."

"uh..."

Me and mk looked at each other while Mr. Tang and pigsy laughed together, and the earthquake came again, "It's happening again!" mk exclaimed, I saw Mr. Tang and pigsy's flickered black. Then the earthquake stopped.

"Again? What you talking about mk?"

"How did you not feel that!?"

I rapidly questioned him, Mr. Tang wrapped his arm around pigsy's shoulder and calmly said "I think mk and y/n just got a case of the Mondays, hmm?".

"Hmm, maybe it's an inner ear thing?  Oh, the staff. Yep. Uh, must be in there real good."

Mk tried to summon his staff, but failed, so he tried and tried and tried. I also tried to summon my staff, but it didn't work, I then realised that my tail and horns were gone.

"Wait, where's my horns and tail?!"

"Ek! You know what, it's ok y/n, you probably just somehow controlled it while we were sleeping?...."

Mk tried to comfort me, and I thought of it that way to think more positive.

"pfft! Your staff ain't in your ear mk! And y/n, I'm not sure what your talking about, you never had horns or a tail, and I don't know what your trying to find in that ear!"

Mk sighed in relief, "Oh. That's sorta a relief? Wait, where is it?"

"On top of the mountain, sealing away the Demon Bull King and his entire family."

Mr. Tang slurped his noodles, "Uhh, say what now?" "yea... I don't remember that...."

"You two do remember, right? I keep saying you work them too hard."

"That's it. You two are taking a day off."

Mk had stars in his eyes, while I was just confused, mk then suddenly grabbed my hand and started pulling me away from the noodle shop.

"My first day off in two whole years. This is a perfect day!"

"Perfect!"

I shuddered while I heard some street people say perfect.

"No traffic at rush hour?"

"Perfect!"

"Free shoes and cheese tea samples?"
