Macaque sat at the beach, his pink stereotypical Hawaiian shirt being an eye-sore to everyone who looked in the direction of the black furred monkey.

Tail flickering, Macaque wrapped his mouth around a popsicle and looked over the ocean in thought, weary of the area around him.

"Heya bud". Wukong sits down next to Macaque. Sooo, any crazy future visions of "threats that are yet to come" or something? It's gettin' kinda boring 'round here and I'm sure MK would be thrilled about having a new hero adventure."

Macaque looked over at Wukong while he sucked on his popsicle, taking it out of his mouth to speak with his mouth full. "No, I had a small prophecy that was given to me the other day, but it was of no importance. It was about you." Macaque stated, giving the Wukong a toothy grin.

"What was it!?" Wukong looks excitedly at Macaque, he sometimes really acts like a total man-child.

Macaque took another bite of the popsicle to chew on it, staring at Wukong as he took in a breath. "Hmm..." Macaque hummed, thinking back to the prophecy that the gods had shown him. "Oh yes, it was that I shall have to deal with a complete and utter buffoon who would annoy me beyond comprehension." Macaque smiled.

"Heey! Wukong pouts. You're a stupid buffoon...." Wukong grumbles

Macaque let out a quiet chuckle as he put away his popsicle. "Oh, oh, I know! A joke!" Macaque held his chin with his tail, he looked over at Wukong with a bright grin. "What do you call a monkey who never shuts up?"

Wukong runs a hand through his golen locks and sighs. "What?"

"A chattermonkey!" Macaque's face lit up with glee, tail flicking like he was expecting praise.

"Haha. Real funny." Wukong sarcastically says, not really liking the joke.

Macoque chuckled softly, his purple staff glowing more brightly as he raised an eyebrow at Wukong. "Hm, well then, let's try a different one." Macaque thought out loud, his tail flicking quickly as he looked out across the water. "Why was the monkey put in the freezer?"

"Because he ate all of heaven's the peaches of immortality, single-handedly defeated the Army of Heaven's 100,000 celestial warriors, drank the whole stock of alcohol in the celestial realm, ate the pills of immortality from the lab in the jade emperor's castle, caused havoc in heaven multiple times and had to be pinned under a mountain with a strong seal for roughly over 500 years to prevent that, had to have some golden ring on his head that gets tighter, squeezing their skull when the monk starts to speak some words because he caused some sort of problem, betrayed his brotherhood and killed his best friend?" Wukong looks down, probably having a traumatic flashback from all of these and more.

Macaque looked over at Wukong in awe, tail frozen as he stared at Wukong. "I... uh..." Macaque paused, staring at Wukong with wide eyes as he waited for the Wukong to finish up, he had completely forgotten the joke he was about to tell. "You know... that actually works for this one." Macaque said with a grin, trying to hide how shocked he was about the answer. "The answer to the joke was 'to chill the monkey out.' but uh... yeah, your answer definitely works too!"

"I think I should go now, tell the others I'm heading home..." Wukong stands up, calls his cloud, hopps on it, then flies off, back on his way to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Macaque watched Wukong leave, the sun glistening on Wukong's cloud as he flew away. He was still in shock, staring out across the ocean as he tried to process that encounter, that's not the kind of answer he was expecting at all.

He shrugged and laid back against the sand, as he relaxed on the beach.

"Macaque."

As Macaque opens his eyes, he sees MK. "What do you need kiddo?" he asks.

"Do you know where Monkey King is? I haven't seen him around for a while." MK asks, a hint of worry audible in his voice.

"Peaches said he's heading back to Flower Fruit Mountain. Why?"

"Because Sandy made peach pie, and usually Wukong eats it all before any of us even get a bite. But I guess it's fine if he wants to leave early." MK says shrugging. Then he notices Redson and Mei in the background, about to go into the water and speeds off. "Hey! Wait for me!"

Macaque then closes his eyes again, continuing to relax in the sun.

But next thing he knew, he gets disturbed... again. This time it was Sandy, and no one can be mad at Sandy.

"Hey, mister Macaque." 

He sits up. "What?"

"Wanna have some pie before it's gone?" Sandy asks, Moe on his shoulder.

"Sure, why not?"
