The Day starts like any other. The sun rose over the horizon, the wind breeze past trees, soft rustling of leaves, several animals have awoken from their slumber on the peaceful mountain. On said mountain, resides a hut where the old man known as Yué Lǎo, the god of Marriage and Love, lives. Some say he lives on the moon, some says he lives in an obscure region.

Yué Lǎo was not in the hut, rather he was out and about for the peaceful morning. Leaving his home unattended. The mountain is devoid of humans so no one could possibly steal anything.

Well, a certain monkey decided it's best to steal.

The monkey is none other than Sūn Wùkōng, the mischievous Monkey King, self proclaimed Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. He approached the hut, tiptoeing on his toes with a small devilish giggle. Wukong transformed into a small bug to slip into a crack, entering the hut no problem.

"Hah! Easy as pie~" Wukong transformed back into his original self, proud of what he just did. He walked around the hut, aimlessly wandering in search of whatever he could find that was remotely valuable. He hummed, entering into a room that was slightly ajar. "There could be something I can really steal here~" Walking inside, he found himself face to face with an office-like room.

Wukong tilted his head to the side when he noticed a book. He smirked and peeked inside. All he found was names of people. "What-? Just that? Ouh...I thought it was gonna be a secret or something..No matter. It's not worth anyt-" Wukong stopped talking once he noticed his name.

Wukong remembered whose hut he entered. His face burst into different shades of red when he recognised the book being Yué Lǎo's love match book. His name is written and beside said name is Six Eared Macaque.

"Liù ěr míhóu??? Nope-! This is a misunderstanding

"Liù ěr míhóu??? Nope-! This is a misunderstanding." Wukong huffed, grabbing a brush, smearing it with ink to cross out both his and Macaque's name. He closed the book and stomped away in embarrassment. Clumsily bumping into a cabinet. Wukong winced in pain,grumbling under his breath while rubbing his face. That is until he noticed a pink shade in the cabinet. Curiosity hits him as Wukong reaches in. What he pulled out was not something he could really expect.

A gun more specifically a Bergmann 1896, decorated pink and small hearts. Wukong's eyes widen at it. He had seen humans uses these types of weapons. It wasn't a pretty sight and the loud bang made it a lot worse. "How could an old man possibly need this for-?" Wukong thought. Though without a second guess, he shoved the gun into his bag filled with stolen goods. He searched around the house but found nothing else, and as sneakily as he went, Wukong made it out of the hut without any traces.

Wukong used his nimbus cloud to fly off to Flower Fruit Mountain in a flash.

Yet Wukong failed to sense the eyes that lingered on him when he ran. Yué Lǎo stood on top of the hill, humming. He stroked his long white beard, seeming intrigued. Next to his side is Tùr Shén, a Chinese deity who manages love and sex between men, watched as Sun Wukong flew off. "Are you aware that he has stolen something from you?" Tu'er turned to Yué Lǎo. He only chuckles in response. "I am quite aware of that." "And yet here you are, only amused at the Great Sage's schemes."

"Yes, he has stolen something I have had for sometime and have scratched out his name in my book but Fate is inevitable

"Yes, he has stolen something I have had for sometime and have scratched out his name in my book but Fate is inevitable." Yué Lǎo said. He walked back to the hut, walking stick in his right hand. Tùr Shén stared at the old god, squinting his eyes in a confused glare.

Back on Flower Fruit Mountain, Wukong hummed a small little tune, happy to be back. As he walked towards the storage room he had for stolen items, a raven furred monkey spooked him.

"Shí Hóu." "AGH-! MIHOU-" Wukong turned towards the one and only, Six Eared Macaque. "Where did you run off to this time..?" Macaque asked, glaring intensely. Wukong sweated at the whole memory. His face starts to heat up but quickly shakes it off. "Well- Uh- You see-" "Did you went to go steal something?" Wukong frantically shook his head. "NO- OF COURSE NOT-" They stared in silence. "Okay yes..I did steal something-"

I did steal something-"

"Oh Shí Hóu..." Macaque rubbed his temples. "What exactly did you steal??" Macaque asked making Wukong sweat more. "Well.." Wukong was thankful he had stolen other stuff so he didn't have to show Macaque the gun, which he so desperately hate because of the loud sound it emit.

"At least it's regular stuff.. Don't go running off without telling me shǎ guā Shí Hóu..." The ginger furred monkey gasped dramatically. "I'm not an idiot Liu'er! I'm Sūn Wùkōng! Zhé Língmíng-shí-hóu! I'm THE Intelligence Stone Monkey for a reason! Not to mention I'm also Zhé Měi Hóuwáng~ THE Handsome Monkey King, Liu'er! In my name!" Wukong had completely forgotten about the book.

Macaque rolled his eyes at his other half's shenanigans though he couldn't help but smile to it. "Whatever you say, Shí Hóu. Come on, the brotherhood is waiting to see you." Macaque walked along. Wukong beamed, "Oh okay! Be right over in a sec!" He ran to the storage room to drop off the stolen items. The bag fell, with the gun rolling over to an empty space. Wukong couldn't care less and closed the door.
