It was an early in the morning as Funneh was sleeping peacefully until her alarm clock went off causing her to groan and presses the button to turn it off and she sat up on her bed with a yawn as she stretches. "Is it morning already?" Funneh mutters and looks at her alarm clock to see it was 6:00 in the morning and she sighs while saying "Oh, it's alright 6:00 a clock. I better get up and get the day started" and she gets up and starts looking for her clothes and went to the bathroom to change, after changing her clothes and brushing her teeth she looks in her mirror as she looks at her old outfit she hadn't wore for a long time and says "Huh, I haven't wore this outfit for a good while now".
Then she went to brush her hair and while brushing her hair she accidentally knocked over a picture frame. "Shoot!" Funneh says and bents down and picks it up but then couldn't help but stare at the photo with a soft sad smile. It was a picture of her when Funneh was little and next to her was a little girl around her age as she has long, waist-length wavy black hair, a tan complexion and has bright amber eyes and the two of them were smiling brightly in the picture with summer clothes on, in a beautiful forest and were a little muddy with some mud on their clothes, their faces and a little on their hair as they were picking flowers.
Funneh smiles softly at the photo as she remembered that memory with the girl and says "Maybe we'll see each other again someday bestie" before placing the picture frame back on her drawer and then leaves her room.
At Pigsy's Noodles 8:00 am
"Hi, Uncle Pigsy! Hi, Uncle Tang!" Funneh exclaimed through the door as she came in. "Hi Funneh" Tang says smiling at his niece. "Funneh, your early then usual. Why's that?" Pigsy asked wondering why one of his nieces is here at the shop early. "Oh, I was just here to tell you that before coming to work later that I was gonna go to the forest for a while if that's fine, Uncle Pigsy?" Funneh asked.
This caused Pigsy and Tang to look at each other and then Tang asked her "Is there a reason, why?" and Pigsy was also wondering too as Funneh smiled and said "Well, I wanted to visit the same forest at I went too as a kid and remember I told you that's where I made my first friend there other than Mk and Mei and besides I haven't visit there in a long time since you know..." and this made both Tang and Pigsy to look at her and smiled in understanding as Pigsy went up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder and says "That's fine kid. You go have fun but I'll text you on when to come back" and Funneh nods and says "Thanks Uncle Pigsy" and hugs him before hugging Tang and says "Alright see you guys later!" and they both said "Bye, Funneh. Be careful!".
Somewhere in the Forest
Funneh is walking on a path through a beautiful forest as she looks at the beauty of it as if it's a enchanted forest.
She was in awe and was stunned by it as she takes out her phone and starts taking pictures and then heard a loud roar ahead and quickly ran to the sound and was amazed as she saw a waterfall that looked dazzling and wanting to a take a selfie Funneh turned her phone from camera to selfie and took a selfie and decided to send the picture to her family and friends.
Then she noticed something on top of the waterfall and ran towards the water and noticed a path of rocks on the water and hops rock to rock and once she got closer to the waterfall and starts climbing the small mountain cliff wanting to know what's on top of the waterfall.
After climbing to the top she got up and was amazed by what she saw. It was a cave entrance to what looks to be a hidden cave as there were plants and vines were growing around it almost making it hidden and it looked old and ancient as well.
Funneh looked mesmerized by the cave and could've sworn she heard someone in her head said "Go. Go inside" and for some reason she felt like she should go inside and was about to go while taking at step until she felt a presence as she heard a twig snap from behind her and quickly whips around and was about to attack the person while summoning her sword until who she saw made her froze in shock and recognition.
"A-Aphmau?!!"
"F-Funneh!!!?"
Both girls froze looking at each other as the girl named Aphmau stared at Funneh with recognition and looked like she was ready to cry in joy along with Funneh as Aphmau looked like the same little girl from the photo frame Funneh had in her room and then Funneh broke the silence as she stutters ""A-Aphmau, is that you... After all these years?" and then both girls smiled brightly as they screamed in joy and ran to each other as they embraced each other after a long time and they backed away as they started laughing and Aphmau exclaims "OH MY GOD! Funneh, it's been forever since we last saw each other! I can't remember when we last saw each other!" and Funneh nods as she also exclaims "I know Aph! It's been like I think 13 years since we last saw each other and you haven't changed a bit!" as Aphmau looked at Funneh dumbfounded and asked "Has it really been that long!?".
"Yeah! We were five about to be six when we last saw each other" Funneh says and Aphmau says "Wow, and you hadn't changed either Funneh!" and the two girls laughed once again as they hugged again as Funneh says "I missed you Aph" and Aphmau said "I missed you too Funneh" and they pulled away and Aphmau asked curiously "So, what are you doing out here Funneh?" and Funneh replied "Well, I decided to come visit this forest since. Remember this was the same forest we first met and used to play here together all the time when we were little? And also what are you doing here too, Aph?" and Aphmau smiles and says "How can I get this was the same place how I met my first best friend and just a coincidence I was also visiting this place too" and before Funneh could reply a phone was heard ringing causing the two girls to look down as Funneh felt and heard her phone ringing, she pulls out her phone and saw Gold calling her as she answered and says "Hello?".
"Funneh, Where Are You?! Uncle Pigsy Had Been Texting You About 10 Times Already And He Was Getting Worried Along With Everybody Else!!" Gold exclaims through the phone as Funneh pulls the phone away from her ear as she winced at the yelling along with Aphmau also winced when she heard the yelling. "Okay! Okay! Sorry Gold, I didn't mean to worry you, Uncle Pigsy, and the others. I was just wandering through the forest and catching up with an old friend" and this caught Gold's attention as she asked "An old friend?" and Funneh says "Yeah, I'll bring her over to the shop and introduce her to the others" and Gold says with a snicker "Alright, but hurry up cuz I feel like Uncle Pigsy might come get you himself" and Funneh rolls her eyes with a slight laugh and says "Okay, tell him and the others I'm on my way" and hangs up the phone.
"Gold? Isn't that one your siblings names you told me about before?" Aphmau asked and Funneh nods and says "Yep, along with Rainbow, Draco and Lunar too" and Aphmau says "Well, tell me about them as we get going and head back to Megapolis. Besides we have a lot of catching up to do" and the two girls started walking while heading back to the city.
Back at Megapolis
"So, this Pigsy's Noodles place is owned by a demon pig named Pigsy and he's your adopted uncle only two other guys, Sandy and Tang right?" Aphmau asked and Funneh nods and says "Yeah, but me and my siblings also have two best friends of our own we've been best friends since childhood like you and me" and Aphmau asked "So, what are your friends names?" and Funneh replies "Yeah, their names are Mei and MK" and apparently it caught Aphmau's attention as she asked "Mk? You mean as in the Monkie Kid the one everyone talks about?" and Funneh nods as she says "Yeah, trust me when you meet him you're gonna like him".
"Okay I'll see when I meet both him and Mei" Aphmau says and then the two girls were now at the entrance of Pigsy Noodles. "Alright, you stay here Aphmau and then I'll let you know when to come in" Funneh said and Aphmau nods as Funneh went inside and saw everyone waiting for her and even Sandy was here too while Mk was washing the dishes. "Hey guys, I'm back" Funneh says and everyone exclaimed "Funneh!!" as Tang quickly hugs her tightly and asked worryingly "Funneh, where didn't you answer Pigsy's calls or text messages!? Are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?!".
Funneh sweatdropped along with everyone else even Aphmau as she heard from outside but was giggling quietly though. "Tang! Let her go or you'll suffocate her!" Pigsy yelled and pulled him away from Funneh, much to her relief but he had a stern look on his face and said "Though Tang is right about one thing. Why weren't you answering my text or calls young lady?! You had us all worried!" and Funneh looked away feeling guilty and says "Sorry, I wasn't answering your calls or messages Uncle Pigsy. I was just exploring the forest and then I was catching up with an old friend of mine" and everyone ( except Gold ) blinked as they said in unison "Old friend?" and Funneh nods with a smile and says "Yeah. Aph, you can come in now!" and at that moment Mk turns around as he was done washing the dishes and says "Hey, Pigsy I'm done washing the dis-" and then froze as a blush began to form on his face as his whole face turned bright red.
Walking inside the shop was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life as if she looked like a beautiful goddess. She has long, waist-length wavy black hair, beautiful tan skin and bright amber eyes and in his opinion made them look breath-taking and stunning as she's wearing a hoodie with different shades of purple as they were fading from dark to light from the bottom of the hoodie to the top, and along with black shorts on and black and purple boots too.
'Wow.... S-She's beautiful' Mk thought to himself as he kept staring while Funneh began to introduce the girl.
"Everyone, this is Aphmau. My first friend from childhood. Aphmau, this is the gang and the Krew, my siblings" and Aphmau smiles as she waves and says "Hi" and then all the sudden Mei zoomed fast and was now in front of Aphmau as she surprised and startled her. "Hi! I'm Mei! You're Aphmau, right? I Didn't Know Funneh Had A Friend Before Me And Mk! So, What's Your Story Aphmau? What Do You Like Doing? Do You Like Racing? Have You Ever Met Demons Before? And How Come You And Funneh Haven't Had Contact After A Long Time And How Long Has It Been Since You Guys Last Saw Each Other?" Mei asked while shaking Aphmau as she was starting to get dizzy from the questions and thankfully Mk comes in and says "Mei, Calm Down! Give her some space!" as he pulls his best friend away from Aphmau. "Sorry about Mei, she's always like this" Mk apologized to Aphmau while his cheeks were pink.
Aphmau smiles and says "It's okay. I'm use to it, in fact I actually have a friend of mine that does the same thing".
"Anyways you're Mk the Monkie Kid, right?" Aphmau asked and Mk smiled and says "Yeah, how did you know?" and Aphmau giggles a bit causing Mk to blush again as she says "Well, everyone talks about you and how you, your friends and the Krew saved the city from the Demon Bull King. It's amazing how you could wield the Monkey King's staff". Mk shyly smiles at her and unknown to him Mei and the Krew saw him blushing when he saw Aphmau and they all grinned as Mei slings her arm over Mk's shoulder and says "Well, Aph I think you, me and Mk are gonna get along just fine!" and then realized what she said and says "Uh, it's okay I can call you Aph, right?" and Aphmau smiles and says "Yeah, you can call me that. Infact everyone calls me that" and Mei smiles.
Soon Funneh began to introduce her uncles and Aphmau almost died of Mo's cuteness as he immediately took a liking to her as they cuddled and Sandy was amazed when he found out that Aphmau is a cat lover just like him, Pigsy liked Aphmau a lot because she was kind and very polite too, Tang really liked Aphmau too as she was also a big fan of the Journey to the West and the Monkey King but what really amazed him was that Aphmau told him that she also liked the Legend of Lady Irene and he also know a thing or two about the Legendary Lady Irene herself, then finally Aphmau got to meet Funneh's siblings and in an instant they all immediately connected.
"I'm glad to see you again Aph after all these year!" Funneh says and Aphmau smiles and says "Me too, bestie. Me too" as the two girls hugged each other and nothing in this world or the universe can ever break their friendship apart.
