"Splendid," the Delightful Children said in front of a camera. "Now that you have all finished singing, every single one of you snot-nosed brats the world over will have the honor of...honor of... Ugh! Line!"

"Cut!"

"Honestly," the Delightful Children shouted as they marched past the camera crews and into their room. "How hard is it for those stupid crewmen to hold up cue cards?" Suddenly, their watches rang. "Ah. It's tea time." They calmed themselves down and walked to the front door. "A little darjeeling will calm down the nerves. We hope Kuki and Mushi accepted the invitations."

(!)

When the Delightful Children opened the door to their mansion, they were greeted by Kuki Sanban and her little sister Mushi. Both of them wore their white school uniforms and both had soulless blue eyes. "Good afternoon, Delightful Children from down the Lane," they said in unison.

"Good afternoon, Sanban sisters. Here for tea?"

"Of course. As one who will be an adult, one must stick to schedule."

"Indeed."

(!)

At the circular table, Ashley laid the tea set while David poured the tea. "Darjeeling? Jade? Jasmine?"

"Green, please," the Sanban sisters said.

"Certainly." The Delightful Children poured the tea and gave the cups to the Sanban sisters.

"Cheers." they said, raising their cups.

"Cheers," the Delightful Children responded, clinking their cups against the Sanbans' before they all drank. As they drank, the Delightful Children noticed the hair clip in Kuki's hair. "Still in the Rainbow Monkey business, Kuki?"

"Rainbow Monkeys just so happen to be the only way for us adults to connect with children." She and Mushi grinned wickedly. "And the perfect way to make kids want to become adults."

"Oh?"

"We signed up to take jobs in the Rainbow Monkey Superstore. We're taking part time so we can rise in the ranks." They smiled a small smile. "In reality, we took it to plant these." Kuki held up a chip. "Hypnosis chips that will make children see the glories of adulthood. And if that doesn't work..." Mushi held up a familiar looking headband.

The Delightful Children looked it over. "Is that Chester's Happy Headband?"

"Indeed. We told Chester Rainbow Monkeys make better advertisement if he wants to sell his products. We repurposed them to make the wearers think they are on Rainbow Monkey Island. In reality, they are Delightfulizers that slowly makes them into proper children."

The Delightful Children smiled. "We never thought we'd see the day sweet Kuki and Mushi Sanban be so...wicked."

"What can we say," the Sanban sisters said. "You taught us wrong from right. We thank you for that."

"You're welcome."

"By the way," the Sanban sisters said. "We noticed that there's a film crew parked out back."

"Yes," the Delightful Children groaned. "We're rehearsing for our birthday tape next month. And those idiots behind the camera cannot be cured of their incompetence!"

The Sanban sisters looked at each other. "Yeah...anyway, think we can borrow them?"

"Huh?"

"We're going to shoot a commercial for the Rainbow Monkey Virtual Reality Headband. We got Chester as the director. He gets twenty percent of the profits, everything else goes to the Rainbow Monkey Corporation."

"Of course," the Delightful Children said. "Just don't rely on the crew too much."
