Feverish Pho
Sometimes children are eager to explore new opportunities, faster then enjoying what could be their favorite childhood of a life time, yet it never stopped the star spawn child of Star and David to explore the modern world alone. Invisible to those below and around as it swoops from one area to another. Searching for a soul worth being the main character plot twist in their little story.
"You're not human, are you?"
The star, who flew pass millions of human souls, unseen or noticed, averts their attention to the one behind them. Below the floating frozen star was one small human looking straight up at him. Head tilt to the side out of curiosity and wonder.
"You...can see me?"
A small 'mhm!' came out loudly from the small child, stuffy held close, swaying side to side carelessly.
This time, the star turns to face the child from above, floating there for a few seconds, before looking around for something. Anything. Nothing but the child before him. All his attention is set on the small smiling soul.
"How interesting..." It whispered to himself, thinking about what to do now once caught, just for a light bulb to go off with glee, now he too was smiling down at the small human being "Say, want to go on an adventure? A new fresh start in life?"
The small child giggles "Your so funny! I don't even know you!"
He smiles, chuckling to himself "Yeah I forgot! My name is Tate. And yours?"
"(Y/N)!"
Great. This was so far going his way, just too easy for him, I guess. Oh, so simple indeed.
"Before we start, I have a question for you to answer."
"Oh? What's that?"
"If reborn, would you like powers or be normal?"
What a weird question to ask. Immediately you told him your answer. The thought of becoming a hero with such cool abilities sounds so thrilling and awesome.
He simply loved how quickly your answer was. Quick and simple. Immediately held out his starry hand your way, eager to start your life immediately.
"To the new life, may your journey there be quick and, most importantly, safe from harm."
A child like you did not know what you're going into. All you knew of right now was that a weird star that talks is flying around. No one else noticed it like you do. Without hesitation, he agreed with his terms and shook the small star nub. Immediately falling into a cold void of darkness, all life and light fading from your view, sinking further into the abyss of nothing ness.
Tate smiles, knowing that he found what he was looking for, soon head home to his parents and siblings. None knew of his plans. This was his way of experimenting on his new role. Such a responsibility, yet it makes his heart flutter with excitement and thrill. To home, he flew, fast and swift, and possibly make up for the time lost before finding his new soul. Eager to see how things unfold as well as bloom.

In this world, you were not human but lego. It didn't bother you, being sent here unknown of the world itself, but grew under the care of Pigsy. A father figure to MK and now yourself. No doubt he did his best in raising his non biological children. Niether were related, but the bond was strong enough to prove all three of you were family. Always and forever.
"Dad?" Yawning, rubbing your eyes a little more, waddle down stairs into the restaurant below, the smell of fresh noodles in the air "Daddy? I don't feel so well.."
Upon here 'I don't feel so well' the owner sets his last online order aside to come around with haste to his sweet little bundle of joy. His baby. His sweet mini me in all sorts of ways. Swooping up the tired toddler within seconds, giggling once thrown and caught in the air, before he set you down a stool seat. Immediately pushing aside your messy bed hair to feel your forehead. Cold skin against warmer skin.
"Your warm.." He frowns a little, knowing how easily it was for you to get sick now and days, just to go around and pull out a menu, smiling softly as he gave it to you "I'll schedule a visit to the clinic tomorrow morning. So, anything you want to eat? Pho? Udon? Ramen, maybe?"
Upon hearing pho, knowing how good it is, eagerly point at 4B; Choosing Pho with steak strips and chicken. Veggies included.
He smiles, chuckling at your choice "Ah...that's my girl." as he ruffles your head a bit, push aside your bangs to peck a quick kiss to your temple, then run off to make pho in the back. Adding in the things needed to help with your issues.
As he was a girl dad, doing his best even at his worst, MK came running downstairs with haste. Panic and worry on his face too. Soon ran over beside you, finding Pigsy making fresh broth, stating his presence loudly.
"(Y/N) IS SICK! MAKE PHO! LOTS AND LOTS OF PHO--MHMDHSJ??!"
The one who muffled up the chop sticks Pigsy plan to use to stir and wash the bean sprouts and basil leafs. An irk mark present on the top left side of his forehead, growing a tad frustrated at MK. He wasn't going to yell at him, knowing he sees you as his own flesh and blood, so he refrained from shouting MK ear drums out. But his voice stoop low, showing he was still not over his obnoxious complains.
"I know. She told me before you ever could." Pigsy threw away the chop sticks for a new set, grumbling a bit, as he walks off to finish washing the veggies "Go get dressed, I'll need help deliver these noodles. Go on, get going slow poke!"
MK, who stood there baffled by Pigsy not shouting at him this time, averted his attention to his sister figure. Being older, he took the role of being your older brother as well as role model if possible. He does all he can in his power to make sure you're happy, laughing, and enjoying life to the fullest.
"You feeling okay?" He sat down, knowing he should go upstairs to change, but stays there for his unwell sibling.
A faint nod towards him. That was all you could do. In all honesty, being sick is like a curse. It really sucks and makes life so hard sometimes...
MK made a soft 'oh..' before he hunch forward, sprawled out on the counter of this noodle bar, his right side of his face smush against the cold wood. Eyes set on his sister face. Taking in every moment and every detail.
"MK..." From starring down at your hands, trying to stay up and not fall over, glance softly and a tad weakly to your brother figure, his eyes full of care, love, and concern for you, smiling weakly to him as you spoke "...Go on. I'll be done here when you're done. I love you, big brother."
He smiles, getting up to hug your small form, savoring the warmth your body fights to obtain through MK, nuzzling in with a constant sigh. He heard it. So, after the hug, grabbed his spare jacket to keep you warm. It was big. It looks like a dress on your form..
"I'll be back! Pigsy! Add more (F/Food) in the pho!" He shouts as he ran away, Pigsy finally shouting at him to scat, as he indeed served you pho with extra (F/Food) but on the side as an option.
Taking careful sips, the beef broth warming your soul, Pigsy set a bottle of water on the side. Actually, two bottles and a glass cup with ice in it.
"Your going to need lots of fluid. Guessing your gonna want beef over chicken broth I presume?"
Immediately a small weak 'yes' sent his way. Soon he speed walk to his cabinet. In there were glass containers. Each one were there because he knew your going to perfer his food over anything else. He was very proud of it none the less. At the end, belly full and sipping the last remains of broth, Pigsy labels all containers with your name. To prevent MK stealing it for his own creation nor him accidentally using it for his customers.
MK was still getting dress above before a familiar face came walking in. Pushing up his glasses, dressed in his robs, just to sit two seats down from you. He set his book down to wave your wave. Soon facing Pigsy with a plan set in mind.
"Good morning, Pigsy.~"
"Sucking up doesn't get you free food. Not on my watch Tang."
Tang kept it up, smiling a little with eyes shut too, tilting his head to the side sweetly "Oh, I'm here because I want to! I can't visit my favorite people or my favorite cook of all time?Oh, how sad..."
All that occurred after was arguing. It didn't last long till MK came down, your cloths in hand, just to perk up at Tang being here. He forcibly made you rush to change before pulling you back. Eager and excited to know what Tang has in store.
"So, you two want to know huh? The storie of the Monkey King?"
Taunting. He was using MK to his advantage. That was his plan. Other than that, sit down and listen to it.
"The thing you need to understand about the old lengends is that the story never finished. There may be no pages left turn turn, but there is always more to the journey-."
"Tang. Stop it." Pigsy intrupts only to be shushed by the two kids he raised, Tang grinning smuggly in victory as Pigsy sucks it up and resumes working.
"-Rising from the neither world, the Demon Bull King attacked.No one could stop him. No one could resist. No one except...the Monkey King. The Monkey King used his magical staff. He used it to slice and pick up a near by mountain. He trapped the Demon Bull King underneath it.The Monkey King sealed the with the staff that no one can wield. Trapping the Demon Bull King forever.With the battle own, he left that mountain. Never to be seen again."
"So...he died? From injuries right?" This was you asking, a legend and all, eager to know the story and if your correct.
MK gasped, a fan of Monkey King himself, denied the very thought "No!No way that happened right?RIGHT??"
Tang sighs, arms cross and slightly agitated with the constant intrupting. Seeing this the two shut up. Eager to listen and know more.
And he continues, finishing it quick "Lengend says the staff still lies on top of that mountain. The one thing keeping our world falling into certain destruction. As civilization was able to advance into the amazing city to we now live in. Filled with amazing people and a city brimming with five star cuisine. And all because of the Monkey King."
"Monkey King is so cool! And so strong! And handsome."
"Oh MK. And you thought you knew all the Monkey King stories."
"Oh but I do! I have all his unauthorized autobiography of Monkey King." MK shows off his book, full of stuff, accidentally peeking at a random picture he drew "Written by yours truly. I have everything from him being born fron stone, fighting in the heavens!"
He was saying so much. Fan boying. Soon allowing Tang to see what your looking at, him looking down at it as well.
"It's good somebody takes time to read nowadays. Even listen to my words. Pearls of wisdom, dripping from my lips." He smugly says, knowing he got MK to listen and all, now proceeding with his plan "Well, you know the deal. One story. One free bowl of jajanmien. Hm?"
"Yep, on it!"
Immediately MK got Tang what he wants. One bowl in his hands as you noticed Pigsy turn from calm chill dude to angry karen mode. He took his weapon and choice, silently told you to duck your head, before aiming it straight at MK. For the kill.
"-mountain compared to, like-WOOAH!?!"
"Free noodles?" Those chop sticks managed to get the bowl of noodles back to Pigsy, very unhappy with Tang now over MK "No one gets a free meal from Pigsy's! I'm not running a charity here, Tang."
"Ah, Pigsy. I was paying with wisdom" He made a rainbow motion at 'wisdom' soon to point at your unwell self with only broth in your bowl "And look, (Y/N) got free food."
"Yeah? Well, wisdom don't pay the rent, you free loader! And she is sick so leave her be!" Pigsy shifts his attention to MK, who should be gone by now, hops over to be face to face with him "And you! Your supposed to be delivering orders right now! So quit slacking and get packing!"
"Yeah...I was about to get my break soooo.."
That set Pigsy over the edge "Break? Break? I need warriors at the hands of war! Serving and delivering to gareentee victory! How else am I going to expand my business into enemy territory?"
"Uh.." MK looks to you, seeing your shrugging your shoulders, just to look across the street "Do you mean the restaurant across the street?"
"I stand by my statement. Now, here up!" He kicks MK out, not noticing your sneaking out from behind in tow, just to turn away to find Tang eating his 'free reward' quickly.
"No! Pigsy!"
"You owe me money you coward!"
"Come on sis. Up you go!" MK helped you inside, sitting beside him, as he began to drive off, delivering orders left and right.
