Everyone was inside Pigsy's Noodles, the workers busy cleaning the space up for the day. MK was mopping the floors in the main area, while Chen was inside the kitchen spraying and wiping down the working station. Mei and Érzi were waiting for the two boys to get off work, the young boy watching his new favourite animated show on Chen's phone. Tang was eating a bowl of noodles as usual while Pigsy was cleaning the counter.
Mei starts taking pictures of MK and Chen working, the flash on. The bright sudden light was annoying to Chen's eyes, but seeing as she was harmlessly taking pictures he tries to ignore it. As she turns back to MK, MK tries to tell her to stop for a moment. "Mei would you- hey cut it out- At least get my good side!" MK exclaims as he starts posing for the pictures. Chen snickers as one bright flash ends up causing MK to trip over and drop the mop. "Noooo!"

"Oh the great Monkie Kid hath dropped thy mop! Whatever shall thee do?" Chen jokes, turning back to his work. The stupid joke causes Mei and Érzi to giggle, Mei going back to posting her new pictures on social media.
MK rubs his eyes, looking around in surprise before loudly exclaiming "Monkey King?!" Chen looks up to see MK talking to... seemingly himself.

But his concerns change to surprise as a familiar gold hazy figure appears in front of him. "Hey, there you kids are!" Monkey King greets cheerily, waving to Chen and MK. "Oh good you guys aren't dead yet! That's a relief!" He chuckles, wiping his brow in a relieved motion. MK starts to freak out, checking himself over to make sure he really wasn't dead. "Dead?! What?! What's happening to me?! Is this what dying is like?!" He falls to his knees dramatically. Chen shakes his head, patting MK's shoulder. He guessed this was the first time Monkey King had used telepathy on MK. "Relax, monkey brain, it's just more of Monkey King's mystic monkey business." he explains. He remembered freaking out a little when it first happened to him.

Monkey King nods in agreement, a wide grin on his face. "Exactly! Don't worry, a little telepathic communication never hurt anybody! I think..." Monkey King mumbles the last part to himself, but MK and Chen both heard it. The two young men turn to him suddenly. "We heard that!" MK exclaims.

"ANYWAY! Everything's fine! Well, mostly fine- so, listen- we got a bit of a problem." Monkey King starts. Chen and MK were about to ask what it was when a woman screaming could be heard outside. "What is that?!"

Every one exits the shop to see what the woman was talking about, and it didn't take long for them to figure out what's wrong. Looking up at the unusually hot sky, the group could see something massive and on fire coming down onto the city, much like a meteor. But the unmistakable smell of cooked food filled the air, throwing away the assumption of it being a giant rock. That and it wasn't rock-shaped. Mei taps her chin in thought. "Is that a-"
"Giant dumpling?" Pigsy interrupts, looking up at the flaming dumpling in disbelief. Tang was already drooling at the sight of it.
"As delicious as it is TERRIFYING...."
"Where did it even come from?!" Érzi asks, having never seen anything like it before.

"So yeah, me and the boys got into a bit of a food fight up here in the celestial realm. Anyway long story short I need you guys to handle the tiny itty bitty giant dumpling before it falls to earth and destroys everyone!" Monkey King explains. Chen and MK look away from the giant dumpling to stare at the Monkey King in disbelief. "What?! You're just gonna leave us to deal with it?!"
"How are we supposed to stop that?!" MK asks. Chen turns to his brother. "MK that's not the only question we should be asking-"

"Ah, you'll figure it out!" Monkey King interrupts Chen, waving him off. "I probably got something that could help you back at my place. Anyway I gotta go! Believe in yourself and you can do anything! Okay bye!"
"HEY WAIT JUST A MINUTE-" Before Chen could say anything Monkey King was gone, causing Chen to groan in frustration. "Seriously?!"
