It had been roughly five years since the pilgrims began heading west and towards the Western Heaven, and everybody was getting a bit antsy. Tripitaka dearly missed his hometown of Chang'an. Sun Wukong missed his monkey subjects. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both missed their respective freedom.

The most excitment of this trip came from the occasional kidnapping of Tripitaka, or the many demons to defeat to free towns or children under bad rulership, stuff like that. It was fun to beat them, sure, but even Wukong was getting a bit annoyed by all of the monsters. And when Wukong has pent up anger, he isn't very fun to be around.

So, for once in a blue moon, Bajie had a good idea. He suggested they all stop by the nearest village and celebrate the New Years with the people. Tripitaka was against the idea at first, claiming that they needed to continue their trip and that the few hours of sleep they got was enough of a break, but after a long and sleepless night of Wukong and Bajie trying to fight eachother just to fight, Tripitaka decided it was time they all get a break. Plus, it'd be nice to have a little taste of home.

So, as Ao Lie trotted into the gates of a little village, Bajie helped Tripitaka off of the horse and Wujing led the animal to a public stable. Then, Tripitaka spotted a temple, and told them to wait there if they were done exploring. With this freedom, the group all went their separate ways. Tripitaka went North, to the temple. Bajie went south, towards the food. Wujing went east, for the painting and art. Finally, Wukong went west, wanting to see the lights and fashion.

Tagging along with the monkey, {{user}} turned go him as he began to speak "So, what first, friend? Hanfu? Ooh, wanna decorate the fish lanterns? Or we can make peach wood talismans!"
