Tales of the Monkey Princess

Festival Fugitives 🐯 🐉

Summary:
Stopping at a food festival, Mk and the others are spotted by Nezha.

The team had finally regrouped from their own adventures back to Sandy's vehicle. Which was sadly still broken. Luckily, Mei had brought back Red Son with her, much to Mk's delight. Her eyes practically turned into hearts as she saw his new look.

He fixed Uncle Sandy's vehicle and the group continued on their trail for the colored stones. And their next stop was a festival.

"The White Tiger and Teal Dragon Festival: a world-renowned showcase of art, culture, and culinary street wood delights! And to think this year would be a special treat...the festival is crawling with CELESTIAL WARRIORS ALL LOOKING FOR US!!"

Tang shouted in fright when he spots the celestial army hot on their trails. The team were hiding in a nearby bush so they wouldn't spot them. "Ah-ta-ta, relax, Tangy. I think the Celestial Host has better things to do than chase around little 'ol uses," Mei spoke up to help comfort the elder male.

"Mei's right!" Sandy nodded in agreement. "They gotta have their hands full with that donked-up sky," he looked up at the sky beginning to crack up again.

"Exactly!" Tang interrupted, "And we're the ones they think are responsible! We can't go in there! WE'RE WANTED FUGITIVES!" He bellowed making Pigsy cover his mouth before they were spotted.

"Okay! Dial it back babe, we are trying to hide here," the pig demon tried to calm down his husband. "But yeah, this uh...this does seem like a terrible idea."

Mei realized the atmosphere was negative, so he decided to lighten the mood. "Look, two of the stones pretty much found us. And we were barely even wearing our searching caps! It's like we found them because of desti-"

"DO NOT SAY THAT WORD!" Pigsy and MK shouts angrily at Mei.

The dragon girl held her hands up and grinned nervously. "Ah, fine. Sorry. And besides we're way overdue for a classic 'MK and Mei Adventure!' White Tiger and Teal Dragon, that's basically my thing, huh? Huh?! Let's go!" She was going to head into the village but Red Son stopped her.

"Whoa, are you crazy!? People will recognize us!" He informed. "And frankly you're all not the most inconspicuous bunch," The camera panned to Pigsy, then to Monkey King who was busy cleaning out his ear, before showing Sandy giving puppy dog eyes.

"What are you saying to me...?" The blue river demon pouted.

"I'm just saying we're easily to recognizable!"

As they continued talking, MK looks around the festival, everyone wearing costumes and— wait a minute, that's it. She soon has an idea and pulls Mei closer to her. "Mei, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"Uhh, sure MK, but I'm kinda not in the mood for references." Mei said.

"No!" She pointed to a stand, full of merchandise and costumes. "Cosplay!" She grinned excitedly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, so the plan was simple. Get through the festival without being spotted by the crowds of celestial guards roaming around.

Easy peasy lemonade squeezy!

The group now were able to get into the festival wearing disguises. MK was disguised as a priestess, Mei took this opportunity to use her new dragon form as a disguise, Monkey King just transformed himself into a regular human, Tang, Red Son, Pigsy, and Sandy wore white tiger and teal dragon glasses and hats.
