"Once a year, this city becomes more than a city. Once a year, these streets...become more than streets. This year, the winner will shall become...Immortal!"
The screen cuts and zooms out to a giant trophy shaped as a Peach of Immortality before fading to a television screen and the two girls gasped.
"A Peach of Immortality!~" The two girls gasped, eyes sparkling in awe, faces nearly touching the TV screen.
"A peach of what now?" Pigsy asked, confused as to what the two were talking about, causing the duo to gasp in shock and horror.
"Pigsy, seriously?!" MK and Mei started off on a rant, but due to the fact that they were both talking over each other, nothing registered in the pig demon's head.
"Ahem," Tang spoke up, everyone turning to where the scholar sat, book open in one hand. "If you'll allow me~"
"Legend says, there is a scared field of trees which grows in the Heavenly Realm, protected by the gods themselves," Tang reads aloud, the girls listening intently, "Every few thousand years, these trees bring forth the Peaches of Immortality. Against the wishes of the heavenly host, the Monkey King took them all. Making himself immortal!"
"Hold up," Pigsy interrupts, a look of confusion displayed on his face, the others turning to him. "I thought the Monkey King was already immortal?"
"Pigsy, you're missing the point!" Mei scowls at the demon. "Whoever wins this race will become immortal!~"
MK and Mei rush out the store, The dragon girl walks over to her bike, taking out the spare toolkit in MK's Noodle Cart, and doing some last minute repairs to the bike.
"This is huge!~" MK gushes, light brown eyes sparkling in excitement. "Those other racers won't stand a chance!~"
"Right?" Mei joins in, looking up from where she was cleaning off the bike's frame, a confident smirk painted on her face. "I know the track like the back of my hand! The back alleys, the front alleys, the sideways alleys...all the alleys!~" It appeared like the girl was holding up an imaginary trophy, given the pose she took. "I was made for this!~"
"Yeah! I'm totally gonna win this thing."
"Wait, what?" Mei said in disbelief, looking at MK. "What do you mean?" She asked.
"I'm gonna be racing too!" MK said cheerfully. Mei on the other hand, didn't seem all to happy with her response.
"Wha-But- I'm racing!" Mei shouts angrily, hopping off her bike. "You've been watching me train for months! this should not be a surprise!"
"Oh! I know...I just thought you were doing all that stuff for me." MK gave an innocent looking smile. Mei grits her teeth, glaring down at her menacingly.
"But, you know...upon reflection, yep, that doesn't make much sense." She chuckled nervously.
Mei sighs in frustration, rubbing her forehead before crossing her arms. "MK, I really don't think you should race. Racing and Delivering Noodles are two different things. You could get seriously hurt."
"Don't be crazy, Mei I could beat you! I'm a delivery girl, I'm pretty sure I know how to drive real good." MK protests. Mei only blew a raspberry, puffing her cheeks as Tang walked out of the shop, holding a flag with Mei's face on it.
Mei and MK noticed him, sliding up on either side of him, grinning at him. "Hey Mr. Tang, who's the better driver? Mei or Me?" She asked. She gasped, noticing the flag Tang was holding.
