Chapter 11: Curiouser and curiouser.

________________________________________

I startled awake, feeling a sudden intense shaking all around me, like an earthquake. "WH-" Sitting up, I glanced around in confusion for the source of the noise. "What the hell was that?" I murmured with furrowed brows, getting out of bed. Eventually, my eyes landed on Shadow next to a broken vase. "Shadow? What the hell man?" I sighed, walking over to the scene picking up the 'feline.'

Shadow meowed in response and nuzzled up to me. "Wh- What's gotten into you?" I blinked, holding him a length in front of me. He purred and pawed at my arm, causing me to set him down in confusion. "Okay, what the hell?" I questioned, more to myself than him. This is Macaque we're talking about, why is he acting so... off? It's strange and frankly unsettling.

I sighed and grabbed a broom so I could clean the mess whilst thinking on the situation. Why was he suddenly acting like a normal cat? Or well- less violent of a normal cat. Usually he would've clawed me until I woke up, or not be here at all. I finished cleaning up the broken vase, noticing how other things were out of place and a mess. "Ugh." I groaned in annoyance, I'd have to deal with that later.

Glancing up at the clock as I put away the broom, I could see it was nearly 9. Yeesh, better hurry and get dressed before Pigsy fires me. I sighed to myself and walked towards my closet, grabbing out an outfit suitable for whatever mystic monkey business happened today.

|An undisclosed amount of time later.|

Finally dressed, I checked the clock again. Whoops, it's 9. Quickly grabbing Shadow(even though he was still acting strange), I headed out the door and towards Pigsy's noodles. With Shadow resting on my shoulder, I began speed walking. God, Pigsy is so gonna kill me for being this late. I'll have to deal with whatever's wrong with Shadow later.

|Another undisclosed amount of time later.|

Finally arriving at Pigsy's noodles, I saw MK darting to get inside- guess he was also late. "Sup MK, oversleep?" I questioned, walking in beside him. "No time to talk, Pigsy is gonna kill me!- Er- us!-" MK yelped, causing me to roll my eyes. "Pigsy! I'm so sorry I'm late!- I 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 me!-" MK was on his knees as he spoke. Dramatic much?

"Yeah, there was this weird shaking that broke a vase. I had to clean it up before I left." I shrugged as I gave my excuse. I know Pigsy wouldn't fire MK, me on the other hand? I wasn't exactly sure. "Don't fire us maybe?" I spoke, tilting my head to the side. Shadow gave a meow, copying my actions. Great, he's still acting weird.

"Fire you two?" Pigsy questioned, turning around to face us. "Why would I fire you two?" He spoke with a smile. "Uh- What the fuck?" I deadpanned, raising a brow "Uh- well, last time you said, "'if you are one minute late ever again, you are fired!-'" MK spoke, standing up. He seemed just as confused as me.

"I said that?" Pigsy questioned. "Yeah, you also threw a spoon at my head." I reminded, moving to stand next to MK. "That doesn't sound like my best friend Pigsy." Tang butted in, hugging Pigsy's side as the two chuckled. Okay, what the actual fuck is going on here? "Uhhhh-" MK blinked, confused.

Suddenly, I felt the shaking again- just like what woke me up. "IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!-" MK yelped, frantically looking around. "WOAH!-" I stumbled backwards, Shadow jumping off my shoulder. Suddenly the shaking stopped, causing both me and MK even more confusion. "Again? What you talking about, MK? And [Name], are you alright?" Pigsy questioned, still grinning brightly. I turned back to Pigsy, furrowing my brows as I saw Shadow on the counter.

"Did you not feel that..?-" MK questioned in a whisper, as if more to himself. "[Name], you felt that right??" He turned to me. "I felt something alright." I responded, glancing over at him. "Feel what?" Pigsy questioned again, raising a brow. "I think MK and [Name] have a real case of the mondays, hmm?" Tang spoke, leaning his arm on the counter.
