Mercedes and Annette come outside to the Garden Area with baskets of bananas around their arms. Mercedes is also carrying banana pudding while Annette carried a banana pudding cake. The Blue Lion students place the food on the table where Byleth and Beth are sitting down drinking tea.
"Here you go professors. Finished getting all these bananas and making these banana desserts for you. I hope your tea time goes well with your guest." Mercedes smiles.
"Thank you ladies. You two are the best girlfriends a professor can ask for." Beth compliments.
"Why do you need all these bananas? What monkey business is about to go on here?" Annette jokes.
"We're going to have tea with monkeys. Monkeys love bananas. So I want them to feel comfortable." Byleth answers.
"Well we will leave you two to your tea time. Professor Beth, will you join us for some girl time after you're done?" Mercedes asks.
"Of course. I'll meet you girls after we're done. Won't take too long I think." Beth winks.
Mercedes and Annette wave their professors goodbye and walk back inside the mansion. Byleth turns to his sister. "What is it that you ladies do together?"
"It's called "ladies time" Byleth. Only between us ladies. None of your business what we do."
"You never seem to hang out with any of our Golden Deer students when it's ladies time." Byleth points out.
"The only girl I can hang out with in the Golden Deer house is Hilda. Lysithea is a brat, Marianne is not too comfortable around me, and if I have to spend even a minute with Leonie I'll kill her. Stupid bitch." Beth growls. "In the Black Eagle house, Dorothea and Petra are very nice. Never spoken with Edelgard much so I don't care and Bernadetta is afraid of me. The party really gets started when Manuela joins." The female professor smirks.
"I wouldn't want Bernie to get corrupted by whatever reckless thing you do with Manuela."
"Don't worry, I won't corrupt your little Bernie Bear." Beth teasingly pinches her brother's cheek. "I know she's your favorite student, you make it pretty obvious."
"I'm just giving her extra protection and extra help. I care for her just as much as I do all my other students." Byleth assures.
"No I hear you. After hearing about what her father did to her, I would want to give her extra protection too. Though she's more comfortable with you so you can handle things with her. Looks like our guests have arrived as well." Beth points to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong coming into the garden.
The Kongs quickly notices the piles of bananas in the basket and the other banana related foods on the table. Their eyes glowed with their mouths open agape in excitement. "BANANAS!" They both yell. The Kongs dash to the table. Donkey Kong takes the banana pudding cake and eats it whole. Diddy Kong picks up the bowl of banana pudding and starts swirling his tongue all over.
Byleth and Beth just watch as the two animals act like...well animals. Sothis appears floating between the twins. "How undignified. Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how two monkeys act around bananas. Do we really have to talk to these two?" The Progenitor God asks unenthusiastically.
"This was Byleth's idea so we're sticking with it." Beth answers.
Byleth clears his throat. "I'm glad you two are enjoying the treats. Had some students prepare them for you."
Donkey Kong takes a banana from the basket. "They made a good banana cake. You know I was planning on skipping out on this whole tea time thing, but then you gave us bananas. So I guess I'll stick around for this, what about you little buddy?" He turns to his nephew.
Diddy Kong lifts his head from the bowl with custard all over his face. "You said something? Oh yeah yeah. Tea party thing. Yeah I probably would have skipped out if it wasn't for the bananas. What is it you want to talk about anyways?"
"Well I just wanted to know a little more about you. You have your own island is that correct?" Byleth asks.
Donkey Kong peels his banana. "Yeah. I don't really know why they named it after me." DK shrugs as he takes a large bite out of his banana and throws the banana peel behind him. "That's where all my family and friends live. We have this big hoard of bananas too. Years ago our rival King K Rool stole all of our bananas, but me and my pal Diddy gave him the banana slamma and got them back!"
"Yeah, we sent ol K Rool packing back to Kremling Island. Ever since then, he's just been a pain in our monkey butts. Kidnapping DK, kidnapping my girlfriend's family, kidnapping us, harassing our friends and trying to destroy DK Island. Dude is a real nutjob." Diddy says making a circling motion of the index finger at the side of his head.
"So wait, is your species all called Kongs or is it just for you two?" Beth questions.
"That's the surname of our species. Just because we're named Kong though, doesn't mean we're all related. Let me run down the family tree for you. There's my grandad Cranky Kong who was the original Donkey Kong and my grandma Wrinkly Kong. I'm their grandson. Diddy here is my nephew. I also have my girlfriend Candy Kong." Donkey Kong explains.
"I have a girlfriend named Dixie who has a younger sister named Tiny, even though she's actually much taller. She has two cousins, Kiddy and Chunky Kong." Diddy Kong turns to Donkey Kong. "Hey DK, how come you never talk about your dad?" He asks.
Donkey Kong picks up another banana from the basket and shrugs. "Well I never really knew him. It was Cranky who raised me. Never knew my dad. Or my mom for that matter. Never really thought about it much."
"You've gone your whole life not knowing your parents? Have you ever bothered to ask your grandfather?" Byleth questions.
"Nope. I wasn't really concerned with that stuff anyways. All I care about is bananas, beating up bad guys, and protecting my friends and family. What about you two? Do you have some crazy family tree like ours? I remember seeing Corrin's large family. They didn't look related to each other." DK unpeels and eats his banana.
Beth shakes her head. "Nothing crazy. Just a mom and a dad. We are their only children. We don't...talk about our parents much either." She says solemnly.
"Hey, don't gotta talk about it if you don't want to. Don't wanna get you down during a tea party. I hope we meet each other in a tournament one day. I should warn you, I was one of the best fighters in the previous generation." Diddy Kong smiles proudly.
Donkey Kong nods. "It's true. Diddy actually won fifty tournaments in a row before. It was nutty. Racking up all that money. Most of it went on bananas, but my little buddy was killing it." DK raises his hand to Diddy and Diddy Kong hi fives him.
"I was destroying everyone with the most devastating combo in all of smash history, the Hoo Haa! Everyone feared me!"
"Fifty tournaments in a row? That's an impressive feat! I should be careful then if I ever have to go up against you." Byleth says.
"That is pretty cool I'll admit. Don't get too cocky though. Not everyone stays in their prime." Beth states.
"Thanks for inviting us to your tea party, even though we didn't really drink the tea. You two seem okay to me. We're pals now." Donkey Kong gives the twins a thumbs up.
Diddy Kong hops on Donkey Kong's back. "Yeah you guys are cool with the DK crew now. If you ever wanna bang on some bongos or eat some bananas, you let us know."
"We really appreciate you coming out to join us. I'm glad we can be friends." Byleth smiles. He stands up and extends his hand to Donkey Kong.
Before Donkey Kong could shake the male professor's hand, King K Rool suddenly crashes near the smashers. He didn't look too happy either. "So, you invite these annoying apes to your tea party instead of a king such as myself?! I'm disappointed! Waste your time with a bunch of losers when the real winner is right here!" The Kremling King points to himself.
Donkey Kong rolls his eyes and groans in annoyance. "Butt out of here K Rool! Everything was cool until you showed up to ruin things as usual."
"Yeah! Scram out of here!" Diddy Kong yells.
"Like I'm going to listen to what you two tell me to do! I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to ruin this tea party for everyone! Because I'm evil and I can do that." King K Rool declares.
"I'm starting to get really irritated with this guy, I'm getting rid of him." Beth says. The female professor stands up from her chair and throws a punch at King K Rool's stomach, but it seemed to have no effect on the kremling. He was still standing tall and unharmed.
King K Rool laughs. "You think that punch to the stomach was going to do anything? My belly is tough and full of armor. I'm unstoppable!" He says slapping his belly proud.
Beth raises her eyebrow unimpressed. She kicks King K Rool in his dick, causing him to roar in pain and fall down on his side. The female professor smirks. "Can't be protected from that though."
Byleth stands up from his seat and approaches King K Rool. "I'll get rid of him." The male professor begins to lift up the Kremling King from the ground and over his head. He was heavy, but Byleth managed to have enough strength to hold him steady. The male professor throws King K Rool away in a random direction. He dust his hands and turns back to the Kongs. "I apologize for the interruption."
"Don't apologize! That was funky what you did!" Donkey Kong compliments.
"Definitely showed K Rool that he ain't nothing but a joke. Anyways, thanks again for the invite. Let's get back inside and get some rest DK." Diddy Kong says.
"Alright little buddy. I could use a nap anyways." Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong begin to head back into the mansion. They wave goodbye to the twins.
Sothis appears between Byleth and Beth. "Interesting pair. May not look like the smartest pair, but their heart is in the right place. Unlike that K Rool fellow, what a complete and utter moron. Anyways, a successful day today. I am curious about the fighters Corrin and Kamui. This is the second time they've been mentioned. They must have had a huge impact when they arrived." The Progenitor God wonders.
"I'm sure we'll find out eventually. I'm a little curious myself. But no time to think about people I don't know, I have to meet with Mercedes and Annette. I'll see if Manuela and Hilda want to join in too. Catch you two later." Beth starts walking inside the mansion.
"Have fun sister. Be careful! Watch over the students and Manuela!" Byleth says.
