The entire noodle shop shook las MK let out another loud hiccup, The shadow twins merely giggled as they watched her hiccup.
"This is the worst case of hiccups I've ever seen!" Pigsy grumbled out, as he picked himself up off the floor, using the counter as a way to lift himself. "How'd it happen?!"
"Well, uh, do you remember meatball eating contest you told her not to enter?" Mei chuckled nervously, avoiding eye contact with the concerned pig demon.
"Yeah, I remember, under no circumstances, why?"
The Dragon girl pulled out her phone, scrolling through the images before finishing the one she was looking for.
Both Tang and Pigsy gave the kids looks of horror. "Yeah...We think they may have been cursed."
"I broke my own record though, yeah boi!" MK grinned with a thumbs up, before letting out another hiccup.
Pigsy growls in frustration. "MK, out of all the things you've done.." He trailed off.
"We've tried everything!! I tried rubbing her belly, giving her a good scare, and hitting all her pressure points, but nothing worked!!"
"Perhaps you should try holding your breath for a minute?" Rumble suggested, her tail swishing back and forth. MK lets out another hiccup and her and Savage clung to the stool.
MK took a deep breath while everyone watched, After a minute she exhaled and smiled. "Yay! It worked!" MK cheered until she lets out another again. "Augh!!"
"I may have a suggestion!" Sandy spoke up, from the booth where he'd been listening in on the conversation. "What if we used the Crimson Jimsonweed it could cure MK's hiccups!"
"Ah, I see he's in this episode too?" Tang commented, looking at the viewers.
"Hm, If I remember correctly, that is an ancient and powerful flower that blooms every Crimson Moon."
"Exactly!" The water demon smiled, acting as if he didn't just asked one of them to go into a dangerous lake.
Pigsy, Tang and Mei all deadpanned at the water demon, who flinched with a nervous chuckle, as he realized what they were implying. "O-oh no, I'm strictly a Water Adventure kinda' guy."
"Pwease Sandy?~" MK pleaded in a cutesy voice, eyes watery, quivering her lip.
"Aww, you got it, I'll do it for my friend!" Sandy said and ran out the noodle shop to get ready for his journey.
"Bye Sandy," MK and Mei called out after the tea drinker. "Good luck!"
Tang looked around "Uh, where did the little rascals go?" He asked.

At the outskirts of the forest Sandy takes a deep breath of the fresh mountain air as he push some bushes away. "Ah! Could this day be anymore perfect?"
"Meh, we've seen better places." Voices made the cat owner jump in surprise, and look behind him, to where Rumble and Savage were stepping out of the shadow portal.
"O-Oh my?!" Sandy sputtered, sending the young monkeys a worried look. "How'd you two get here?!"
"Savage saw that you were leaving, so I followed him, well then followed you." The little she-monkey mumbled, pushing her glasses up.
Savage sighed, looking up Sandy. "Look I know we're gonna get lectured for this, but we promised our father that we'd keep MK safe, and that's what we're going to do," He looks at the river demon with pleading eyes. "Please. We just wanted to help."
