Sakura P.O.V

I was walking to the theater with Uncle Pigsy, Uncle Tang, MK and Mei. Uncle Tang said we're going to watch a shadow play, it sounds exciting. When we got to the theater, we paid for our tickets and went to get a seat. MK was getting excited

"I'm so excited! I haven't been to the movies in ages!" MK said with an excited tone

"Uh... MK? You do know this isn't the cinema, right?" I asked and MK gave me a confused look

"It's a shadow play, with puppets" Uncle Tang added

"Wha?! Puppets?! No! I thought we were seeing Kung Fu Monkey Cop the movie!" MK said as he pulled out the poster

"Uh... Check the back" Mei said as she pointed the back of the poster, MK looked at the back and looked upset

"Relax, MK. I'm sure the shadow play will be great" I reassured him, when MK put the poster down

"Hey Mei, Sakura. Isn't that the guy who gave me that weird key?" MK asked, when I turned around and it was the mayor that gave MK that key

"Oh yeah. Your right"

"You mean the key that could unlock anything? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's him and I'm also pretty sure he's still not actually the mayor" Mei said

'She's right about that. There's something off about him' I thought to myself and noticed that the not mayor was waving at us, but creepily. Making Uncle Tang creeped out

"Point is, whatever we're watching, you earned a break kid" Uncle Pigsy said to MK

"Yeah! You've been training super hard! I can't even remember the last time we all just hung out together. I miss this" Mei said and Uncle Tang was asking if Uncle Sandy was busy, but MK cut him off

"What're talking about? We hang out all the time" MK said

"Nuh-uh girlfriend, it's always Monkey King this or scary skeleton that! What's with you lately?" Mei asked, MK was about to explain himself when Uncle Tang cut him off

"Just yesterday, you blew off checkers night because you had to study. Study what, might I ask?" Uncle Tang asked as he threw a couple pieces of checkers at MK's face

"I have to agree with them, MK. You even cancelled on me at the last minute when you promised me that you'll help shop for ingredients for my sweets because you had to train" I said with a pout "Next time, tell me ahead next time!"

"Alright, alright, I get it! It's just... Monkey King said..." MK trailed off on his sentence, but I did notice him clenching his fist "I just... I need to be ready"

"Ready for what?" Uncle Pigsy asked, then the lights dimmed down and Uncle Tang shushed Uncle Pigsy

"It's starting!"

"Tang, would you-" Uncle Tang shushed Uncle Pigsy again

The room darkened more, I held onto MK's arm with fear overcoming me. A creepy puppet fell from above and looked at us with a grin

"Uh... Tang? What kind of play did you say this was?" Uncle Pigsy asked, then the curtains drew back to reveal the puppeteer who was wearing a robe that also covered his face

"Welcome viewers to the Shadow Play, the likes of which of have never been seen" The puppeteer said as a glowing lantern floated from his hands "It follows a tragic tale of a legendary warrior, and how those who bring light into this world, inevitably bring darkness to those they hold dear"

"Mei, I just realized something" MK whispered to Mei

"What?"

"I... I don't have any snacks!" MK whispered shouted
