Who thought of Tigress because the title? Alot? Well, it's about Viper! Freaky, right?

So since my other ideas didn't really work out *everyone glares* *I flinch* Heh... Anyway, I decided to make a oneshot story! But not just any oneshot... It revolves around Mantis and how wise he is! Yes, you read it correctly. I hate how they made him so... I don't know, immature? Stupid? So I wanted to show that he's a very intelligent person, and what better way then to have him quote famous people on different topics? Yep, I'm crazy. But creative! :)

This is a quote of Christopher Morley.

DISCLAIMER OF THE STORY: Don't own the quotes, characters, or anything else. Only the idea.

It was a peaceful afternoon. Po had made his amazing noodles, and everyone was anxiously awaiting the arrival of them. Viper and Mantis were missing; the bug had taken his serpent lover to an expensive new diner in the valley for their one-year anniversary. It had taken the combined effort of all of them, even Shifu, to get the two opposites to get together. Mantis kept Viper from getting too deep into her OCD, and she in turn kept him in line and diciplined. Well, remotely...

"... can't believe you would do this!" they suddenly heard the voice of Viper yell.

"Hide!" Tigress hissed. She knew that being around the snake when she was angry was a death wish, which was tolerable since she rarely ever got angry. She jumped in a box. Po hid the best he could under the table, and Crane and Monkey hid by the light. They soon saw Viper slithering by the door with a desperate looking Mantis behind her.

"Calm down, Viper. It's not like I can help it," he said, wincing when he realized how he made it sound. "Wait, I didn't mean it like-"

"Can't help it?" she screeched. She suddenly stopped, swinging around and bearing her fangs in the face of her boyfriend. "Mantis, you have self-control. You can help it, and you know it!"

"So I happen to look at the waitress. Why are you getting so pissy about it?" he asked, loosing a little of his own temper.

"I'm getting 'pissy' because I'm your girlfriend, and she isn't!"

"... Aaaaaaand?" he questioned.

'Oh no,' everyone in the kitchen thought. Even Po knew that what he just said was the worst possible reply anyone could udder.

"YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE!" she shouted, finally slithering off. Mantis sighed, hanging his head in confusion.

Feeling like it was now safe, everyone came out of their hiding spaces. "What happened?" Monkey asked in astonishment. Mantis wirled around, clearly not hearing them. "Why is Viper so mad?"

Mantis sighed. "Apparently, when you're in a relationship, you can't check out other women."

"THAT'S what you did?" Tigress asked.

"Yeah, I know. Stupid, right?"

"No!" she shouted in protest. "You never do that! No matter what!"

"But she was the hottest fox I've ever seen," he drooled.

"And what is Viper?" Po asked.

"The best, most amazing girl in the world..." Mantis stopped. He seemed to realize that even though the vixen was good looking, Viper was the best. "Aw man, what have I done?"

"You made a woman angry," Po pointed out. "And a very dangerous one, at that!"

"Well, you know what they say: 'A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.' And I assure you, I'm no failure!"

"Then go apologize," Tigress glared.

"Yeah, because when she's angry, she likes to use ME as a training partner," Crane shivered.

"Alright," Mantis gulped. "At my funeral, I don't want that music that puts you asleep to be playing. I want to be sent away with rock n' roll!"

Tigress smirked and the boys laughed. "We'll see..."

Mantis reluctanly made his way to Viper's room, praying. He wanted to live, but it seemed like he was walking into his own grave. 'No,' he thought. 'I would rather die than live with her angry with me.'

His thoughts were put to the test when he opened the door to the seething snake's room.

"What could YOU possibly want," she literally hissed. "The prettiest girl in all of the Valley of Peace is at the diner."

"No," Mantis said. "She's right in front of me."

With a "hmph", Viper slammed her rag onto the counter where her make-up lay. She took off her lotus blossoms and slapped the box she put them in shut. She spun around, shoving her fangs into his face once again. "I don't get it."

Mantis's face twisted in confusion. "Get what?"

Viper's face lost some anger, sadness replacing it. "I don't get why you notice other women when I try so hard for you to like me. I spend hours putting make-up on, fluffing my flowers just right, and you STILL don't look at me like you look at her." Viper sniffled, wipping stray tears with her tail.

Mantis grabbed her tail, sweeping her tears from her eyes. "You SHOULD get it. Because I'm a fool. I don't realize what I have until I almost lose it, and I'm stupid for that. You are the most amazing warrior I've ever seen. You are the most gorgeous female in all of China- no, in the whole world. Your dancing is the best, and you're the nicest woman ever. You have a heart of pure gold, and I'm surprised I didn't see that before." She smiled, tears- but not of sadness- welled in her eyes. Mantis smiled. "That girl may be pleasant to look at, but look at where I am. If I loved her and not you, I'd be there right now."

Viper gave him a hug, sniffling. "That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!"

Mantis smiled and pat her back. "It was, wasn't it? I should write poetry."

Viper smiled. She had her old Mantis back. She could never stay angry with him.

How emotional was THAT? Bleh, I think I threw up a little at the end there. Someone should probably clean that up... Any volunteers?

*everyone leaves*

At least leave some reviews! *grumbles while grabbing a mop*
