The crowd screamed as MK and Mei crossed the meta line. The two friends were happy and proud of themselves, at some point Mei noticed that MK was searching for someone and she knew who that was.

"MK, you know she has her things to do" She said while putting his shoulder

"Yeah... just... I still want to prove her that I'm worthy of Monkey King's powers"

" And you will"

MK smiled at Mei.

"NOW LETS GET OUR REWARD" Mei pointed at a golden peach

MK rushed with her to the stage and as they had their moment of fame the familiar voice was heard

"NOODLE BOY!"It was obviously Red Son"You imbecile... THAT PEACH SHOULD BE MY!" He shouted aggressively

"HA"MK kept the peach closer"You'll never getting this fruit!"

And right after that he... bit it.

Crack

MK was spinning in pain on the floor with only a half of his front teeth

"I think it's not ripe yet..."he mumbled

"Or it's just not a peach of immorality" suddenly MK heard a woman's voice, at that moment an announcement was shown before his eyes, so close he couldn't see anything besides it

"That's right it's just a trophy you know" Then Mei agreed

"WHAT"Both MK and Red Son shouted towards her

"But, it's says right on the posters" said Red Son checking the paper

Mei started laughing at both of them

"It's a metaphor" again a woman's voice was heard

"Wait.. Jie?! You're here?!" MK couldn't believe his eyes

Jie opened her mouth to say something but then she turn away her face to hide her reddish cheeks

"I... just wanted to make sure you won't bring another catastrophe!" She muttered with frustrated ton

"Can we please come back to the peach!" Red Son screamed again

" Read the little letters on the corner of the left" Jie navigated him quickly, tired of his screams

"It says... the winners photo will be shown on the top of the tower...WHAT?!"

Right then everyone's gaze move to the tower, which showed a picture taken when MK bit the trophy.

"Ooooo....Ok" MK gasped in realisation

Unfortunately the demon boy(that's how Jie calls Red Son) didn't take the facts as well as MK

After a few excused he made he turned back to the group only to shout the annoyed "PEASANTS!" At the end

'How disrespectful'

"Wait, if this is not the peach of immorality, then where are they?!" After the question both MK's and Mei's gaze turned to Jie, who stared to sweat a little

"Haha, well that's a good question... emm- Oh!-just remembered that I have something to do, BYE!" And like that she disappeared

MK was looking at the place the demoness stood a while ago, then he saw Mei approaching him with their trophy.

"Looks like she really came to see you win" She smiled while touching him with her shoulder

"...yes"

A smile showed on the boys face.

***

Meanwhile, Demon Bull King and his wife were just on their way back from their shameful loss (the whole family doesn't want to talk about this).

"Darling" Suddenly Iron Fan stopped

"Hmm?"Her husband looked back at her with questioning face

"Go alone.I'll catch you up later..."she exclaimed and turned her face to the right "I have some business to do"

Following her eyes, DBK noticed a man in hood which covered everything instead of his big and somehow annoying smile.

For a while the two of them were staring into each other but in the end DBK turned back without a word.

When he was a few steps away he throw a simple "Be quick" to his wife and followed his way.

After a while PIF came closer to the man.

"Well, well... and here I thought you won't make it" she smiled at him

"I wouldn't dare to disappoint you, Princess" the man bowed slightly before her

"So you got your part of the deal?"

"Yes..." slowly but confidently, the man showed a jar he was hiding under his coat

"That's... calabash?!-How did you?-

Without notice PIF started reaching towards the object.

"Not so fast my lady" the man hid the calabash again

The women send him an annoyed face, but all he did was smile widely

"I need to see 'your part' too" he chuckled

For a moment there was a thought in PIF's head... what if she just took both calabash and mirror blade?
But the thing was that she didn't know an answer to that question. When it came to that person... she couldn't predict if she would win or...

"..."

"I've got enough of loss today" she said to herself in mind

Sight...

She streched out her hands, a light showed above them, after a while it took a form of a sword.

For a moment the smile on the man's face disappeared.

" So... we have a deal?" Asked PIF while holding the mirror blade closer to the man

A silence came...

***

A few minutes later at Flower Fruit Mountain

Monkey King was enjoying his training-free time on the peach tree, he was so full after eating all the peaches he decided to take a nap.

But then he felt someone's presence

"So the times up, huh?"He said toward Jie who approached him with a gloomy face

"..."

"Did you make it?" He asked curious about Jie's mood

"I..."

Jie looked up at him from the ground showing something that she was hiding behind her back before

"I did it!" She said while holding the mirror blade in the light of the sun, a little tear dropped from her eye

"Good job" answered Wukong

After that the monkey, all relaxed again laid on the tree again with a smile on his face, he closed his eyes and was ready to sleep.

"Wait"

Suddenly his eyes opened wildly

"What did you gave PIF in return?" He asked

"Well I was aiming for the calabash but when I got it it was in pieces, so..."

"So..?" Wukong starred at her more intensely and suspicious

Jie scratched her neck a little, Wukong knew her well enough to knwo what this gesture means, she's nervous about something she shouldn't have done, which made him more impatient for answer

"...So I used a little trick" Jie answered with an anxious smile on her face

That's right... in an hour Princess Iron Fan will realise that she exchanged the mirror blade for... a jar of Monkey Kings cookies...

Hopefully it will suit her taste :D
