Tales of Evans High

NCT US: Little M&M

In the cold, cobblestone streets of South Korea, the lone convoy of lost children lay around at the outdoor seating area of the boba shop, defeated and disillusioned.

Dylan: Too bad this isn't a candy shop. Then 50 Cent could get us.

Priyanshi: You're so weird.

Dylan: Melayna would get it.

Priyanshi: That's because she's weird.

Kio: We're all weird, but what's that gonna do for us?

Brianna: I want Lee Tae, my beloved, back!

They look at her, and she looks at them.

Dylan: Stop being so thirsty, it's sad. Drink your boba.

Brianna glares at him. He will never understand.

Brianna: You will never understand.

Priyanshi, mocking Jungwoo and Mark Lee: Yeah!

Dylan: Oh, whatever. I want to go home.

Priyanshi: I want you to go home, too.

She laughs. He does not. He glares.

Dylan, unprompted: Do you think Lee Tae knows Lee Taekwondo?

He laughs. The others do not. They stare. Kio coughs.

Kio, breaking the awkward silence: I wonder what Melayna is doing right now.

That's a very good transition for our story, Kio, thank you. This might be the most you've talked for the entire fanfic.

Back in the Kanye Tank, Kanye West is debriefing Melayna on her future career with him.

Kanye West: So I was thinking you be my sidekick.

Melayna: Sidekick?

Kanye West: Ye.

Melayna: Like Batman and Robin.

Kanye West: Ye, I'll be Batman and you'll be Robin - like Eminem was in that one music video, Little M&M.

He chuckles. I don't know if I've ever heard Kanye chuckle before, but I don't know him too well personally.

Melayna: But only if I get to be the Jason Todd Robin.

Kanye West stares at her like she's the biggest geek in the tank - she is.

Melayna: Dylan would get it...

Kanye West: Ye...now, about your rapping...

Melayna: You wanna hear some? Okay!

She gets up in the tank and starts beatboxing while aggressively singing the Lion Sleeps Tonight. Melayna always jumps at the opportunity to show off her natural talent.

Kanye West: No, no! Get down from there! Who do you think you are, Beyoncé? No more of that Lion Story stuff.

Beyoncé was in the CGI Lion King I think.

Melayna: You mean Lion King.

Kanye West: Ye, I'm a mean, lying king and all that, but put a sock in it.

Lying king? Lion King? Get it? My wordplay is so funny.

Kanye West: You know, you look like the old, blue monkey guy from that movie.

Melayna is offended.

Melayna: I am offended. Did you just call me a monkey?

Kanye West: Ye.

Melayna is speechless but not surprised.

Melayna: I am speechless but not surprised.

Kanye West: You even got the blue hoodie.
