(Here's C!Madison's formal outfit for her date with MK!)

3rd Person's POV...
The scene starts with MK as we see him sleeping with a book on his head, and an earthquake happens waking him up, "Earthquake!" After it stops, MK uncovers his head and notices his room trashed, "Oh, no! All my pwecicus powsessions!" His alarm rings showing 9:01, "Huh? 9:01? I'm late for work! Ah! My staff! My staff? Where's my staff? Staff..." MK tries to summon the staff but it's not working and notices the clock go to 9:02, "Pigsy's gonna kill me!" He freaks out, "Okay! Socks! Jacket! Bandana! Let's go!" MK gets his work clothes on and heads downstairs, "And...I'm here." He runs inside and starts to beg on the floor, "Pigsy! I'm so sorry I'm late. I overslept! And I guess I didn't set an alarm? Honestly, I don't even remember going to bed. And the earthquake! And, and, and...please don't fire me." 
MK starts to cry on the floor, "Fire you?" Pigsy turns around and smiles at MK, "Ha! Why would I fire you?" MK looks confused, "Uh, well, last time you said, "If you are one minute late ever again, you...are...fired!" MK repeats what Pigsy said, "I said that?" Tang starts to laugh as he stands next to Pigsy (I swear if anyone hate the "FreeNoodles" ship, get out now!!! 😡😡)
"That doesn't sound like my best friend, Pigsy." The two smile and another earthquake happens, "It's happening again!" MK turns around and doesn't notice that Pigsy and Tang had glitched a little before going back to normal, "Again? Whatchu talking about, MK?" "Did you not feel that?" The two boyfrien—-I mean friends let go of each other, "Feel what?" Tang starts to laugh, "I think MK's got a real case of the Mondays, hmm?" MK takes what Tang said, "Hmm...maybe it's an inner ear thing? Oh! The staff!" MK suddenly remembered the staff, "Yep. Uh, must be in there real good."He starts digging in his ear, looking for the staff and trying to summon it but no luck. Pigsy laughs, "Your staff ain't in your ear, kid." MK stops, "Oh, heh. That's a relief. Wait. Where is it?" MK asked confused, "On top of the mountain, sealing away the Demon Bull King and his entire family." "Uh....say what now?" MK looks confused, "You do remember, right?"
Tang sighs and walks back to Pigsy, "I keep saying you work him too hard." "That's it! You're taking the day off!" MK heard angelic music play as those words left Pigsy's mouth and left the shop, "My first day off in two whole years!" MK rides across town on his hoverboard, "This is a perfect day!" "Perfect." A crowd says behind him, "No traffic at rush hour!" "Perfect!" The crowd said, "Free shoes and cheese tea samples." MK got some new shoes and drink a cheese tea, "Perfect!" "Beat all the high scores on Monkey Mech!" MK got hit with some tickets, "Perfect!" The crowd said again as they appeared again, "More free cheese tea samples." He stands in front of a stand and drinks some more cheese tea, "Perfect!" The crowd yells again-more people joining in and it freaks MK out a little, "You guys really are driving that point home, huh?"
The crowd starts to glitch the moment MK turns his back and they disappear, "Whoa! What was that? Uh, yeah, something's definitely up here. But what?" MK starts using his "smart" brain to figure out what's wrong, even though he's a dumb little cutie(I'm sorry, that was perfect though) and he figures it out, "Hmm...Pigsy smiled! He never smiles. I gotta tell Mei and Maddie!" MK runs, and he heads into Mei and Madison, "Hey, MK!" Mei said, "What's up dude! You good?" MK stands up after seeing his best friends, "Mei! Maddie! Boy, am I glad to see you both! Please, tell me you guys can see them too?" MK gets touched by some of the crowd as they stare at him, Mei shushes him and grabs both his and Madison's hands, "None of that matters. You two are gonna late!" 
"Late for what?" MK asked as Mei dragged them to Sandy's boat, "You guy's romantic river cruise for two!" The boat was decked with tons of romantic stuff like flowers, candles and a table that MK was sitting at while Mei was with Madison, the therapy cats and Mo were also playing the violin, "Uh...Love what you've done with your boat, Sandy.." Sandy appears next to MK wearing a suit and a bow tie on his hair, "Isn't it perfect? I finally figured it out! I felt like I really needed to cement what my role was in the group dynamic. And then, it just came to me! Boom! Romantic cruises!" Sandy stopped explaining the whole situation to MK, "Okay, I'll be right back with the hors d'oeuvres. Mei, come help me." Sandy called out to Mei who returned back on the boat with Madison, "Coming!" She is seen wearing a suit just like Sandy.
