The Stupid Bet

Chapter 1: Preps? For what?

Welcome, to my first TiPo (TigressxPo) fic! And my first Two-shot, because later my sister or my dad will scold me and tell me to go to bed.

This is actually (in my opinion) more in-character than all the TiPo's I've ever read. Except for Po in some parts, but very little.

So enjoy. Or not. Whichever way you see it, just remember, the glass is always full.

Tigress crossed her arms in utter and full-blown anger and regret, as Crane finished tying up the kimono at her back.

"There," Crane said stepping back and admiring his work with the knot. He walked in front of Tigress and smirked. "Oh, just look at you!" He mockingly remarked.

"That pink really brings out your figure," Viper cooed making Tigress blush.

Scowling deeply, Tigress sat down on her bed in her small dormitory and shot a menacing look at the two. "I HATE all of you. I can't believe I actually agreed to this stupid bet," she complained. Staring straight at the floor, she internally groaned and sighed. She was now in a "beautiful" light pink kimono with white flowers, with two pink lotus flowers like Viper's behind her ears, and wearing the most girly sandals in the world. All because she lost a stupid bet with Viper.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and soon after followed by the head of a certain orange primate.

"Can you explain to me-Woah, Tigress, what happened to you?" Monkey said entering the room and closing the door behind him. Tigress' scowl deepened. Now the monkey is aware of her degrading appearance. The last thing she needs is for Mantis to know as well. Well he already knows, but where is he?

Monkey furrowed his eyebrows. "Will someone please explain to me why you made me cook noodles, wonton, and dumplings, why you made me decorate with lanterns under the peach tree, why Po is in a tux, and why Tigress is in a kimono?" he asked confusedly.

Crane nudged Viper with his wing. "'Twas your doing, you get to explain."

Viper nodded and cleared her throat. "Well," she began to explain, "The other day, I was watching the boxing match down at the town's stadium with Tigress. I wagered for one participant and she wagered for another. Once they were both up, I began discussing with her who would have the highest possibility to win, and she said the one I went for didn't stand a stage."

"And he didn't!" Tigress interrupted. "Gladiator X is known for cheating his way through matches. This match was no exception."

"As I was saying," Viper continued, "I told her we should make a bet. If my wrestler lost, you'd all organize a date for Crane and me," she explained making both the bird and herself blush. "And if Tigress' wrestler lost, we would organize a date for her and Po." They all turned to Tigress, where the blush overrode her cheeks.

"And my guess is, she lost," Monkey asked. Viper nodded.

"Indeed," Crane replied. "And we've organized dinner for the two of them."

"Well, cancel everything," Tigress blurted out. "There's no way I'm going on a date with the panda. And I don't care if I have to fight my way-"

She suddenly felt numb, and paralyzed, she fell to her side on the bed, as a small green Mantis appeared behind her and jumped on top of her shoulder.

"Whew, FINALLY, I could get her to shut up!" Mantis exclaimed panting.

"You were behind her the whole time?" Viper asked.

"Yeah," the insect replied. "It was hard to find her weak spot between her hips and her shoulders, so I just decided a mid-point, went straight for the spine and bam! Peace and quiet." The minute Furious Five member jumped down to the floor and stretched. "But wow, is she stubborn. The last time I recall seeing her like this, was back when Oogway chose Po for being the Dragon Warrior!" He chuckled. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get into my waiter's outfit." And without another word, Mantis left the room.

"Well," Viper said, "Enough chit-chat. We have to un-paralyze Tigress and get her to the peach tree."

Tigress growled internally since she couldn't for real. Trying her best to speak, she threatened despite her stiffened muscles.

"I...am...going to...MURDER...you...guys..."
