Hi guys!

Hope you like this short story!

Alright, this is my first Viper X Crane fanfic.

I found out there are plenty of them so I'm gonna give it a shot.

Please R&R!


Viper stared out the window from her bedroom.

Fireworks shot into the air, a couple at a time, before exploding into swirls of colours in front of her. She looked down to see a glow coming from the village. There was a distant sound of people of chatting. A faint smell of different kinds of foods being cooked.

Viper sighed heavily.

Tonight was a very special night. It was Po and Tigress' 1st wedding anniversary.

But that wasn't all that was happening.

A few months back, they announced their were expecting a cub, and the village went crazy when they found out.

Now they gave birth to not one cub, but two cubs.

A boy and a girl named Piao and Pu. (Piao is the boy, and Pu is the girl.)

Every master in China has come to the Valley of Peace to attend the party. Plus to congratulate the Warrior's of the Jade Palace on their newest auditions. Viper was supposed to be happy for them...

But it was hard for her to be happy right now.

Everyone know it was challenge for her to even smile.

Viper was in a 2 year relationship with a snake called Marcus, a handsome black mamba with eyes a black as night, and fire markings up and down his back, and along the top of his head.

Viper fell in love with him the minute she saw him.

He was staying at the Palace for a few months to train with Po and the five. This was happening while Po and Tigress were dating. Marcus started chatting Viper up. Viper thought he was only messing about with her.

But then he asked her out on a date.

Viper was so excited, yet so nervous, she went to Tigress for advice about going on a first date.

"Just smile, be friendly and see what you have in common." She said.

And it was sort of a success.

Marcus and Viper only 1 thing in common; They both had ancestors who did kung fu.

But other then that, you could say they were deeply in love...

Until 2 years later, when Po and Tigress got married. When Marcus came to visit Viper and was invited by Po and Tigress to the wedding.


Flashback.

It all started at Po and Tigress' wedding feast. The party was in full swing and their was a lot of photos of Po, Tigress, and the five dressed in their best. It was time for the bouquet throw, so Viper and at least 17 more girls were anxious to catch the bouquet.

Tigress threw it into the air...

Viper caught it, full of excitement.

She had caught the bouquet!

It's a sign!

Marcus may propose to her!

They may live happily ever after!

The others congratulated her as Crane gave her a hug. She turned to Marcus with a huge smile on her face. But she saw that he was not there. Viper's smile slowly began to fade.

He was there a minute ago.

Then she saw a quick scaly figure slithering away.

Marcus?

Viper looked at the figure as it slithered on.

Viper raised an eyebrow.

"I'll be back in a sec." She said to Po and the others.

"Alright. Be careful." Said Crane.

Viper smiled at her avian friend and slithered after the figure.

She continued her way, far away into the bamboo forest, until she could hardly hear the laughter and the music.

She heard a noise coming from a near-by clearing.

Then she saw something that shook her to the core...

There he was with a female snake she had never seen before. She was cradling a small egg with her tail. Marcus was gazing down at it with a loving look.

"We will be together soon my love." he said to her. "You, me, and our little one."

Viper gasped loud enough for Marcus' head to turn. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped.

"Viper?"

Viper's mouth began to wobble.

"Honey... this isn't what it looks like..." He stammered.

Viper looked down at the ground, tears forming in her eyes.

"Babe?"

"Don't call me that." She hissed as tears began to fall.

Marcus was about to hug her, but Viper backed up and slithered away from her traitor of a boyfriend as fast as she could.


End of Flashback.

Viper began to cry, but she didn't notice.

Why did Marcus cheat on me? Thought Viper. What did I ever do to him?

A thousand more questions still haunt her now.

Tigress tried to talk to her about it. But nothing was working. Marcus even came the next day to explain after what happened the night before. But another surprize came to Viper as well as Marcus' unexpected visit.


Flashback

"Just let me talk to her!" He shouted at the gates. Crane opened the door, furious that Marcus for cheating on Viper. Monkey and Mantis was by his side. Po, Tigress, and Viper weren't there though. Viper was in her room, locked away from reality. As for Po and Tigress left for their honeymoon earlier that morning, unaware about the situation that was going on.

"She doesn't want to talk to a traitor." Monkey answered.

"I need to explain-" Marcus started.

"No!" Mantis shouted.

"Your nothing but a unfaithful, double-crossing, two faced, two timing cheater!" Roared Crane, who was fuming with rage.

Everyone glanced at him, surprized with his sudden angry outburst, but they had to handle Marcus first.

When they were about to tell Marcus to push off...

"Stop guys," said a small, husky voice behind them.

Everyone's head turned to see Viper slithering up to them.

Marcus was staring at her with a gentle, loving expression.

"Babe please let me explain." He said.

Viper slithered closer to him.

Marcus could see how terrible Viper took this.

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, and she was heaving heavily.

"Tell me the truth. Did you, or did you not cheat on me?" Said Viper.

Marcus explained everything.

But in the end, Viper was right.

Marcus did cheat on her.

"We don't want you here anymore." Said Viper.


Viper never saw him again after that.

And after a year, she still loved him.

Marcus still wrote to her, telling her that he was sorry for what he had done countless times. But Viper wasn't hearing any of it.

Viper slithered over to her mirror.

Her eyes widened at her appearance. Now she notices that she had cried whilst thinking about Marcus, because now her mascara had run down her cheeks, leaving a black line going down both sides of her cheeks. Viper sniffed while wiping away the running mascara, she saw that hip lipstick got messy as well as her mascara. She sighed in frustration as she cleaned her lipstick away too,

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Said Viper.

The door slid open and Crane came in.

Crane gave his scaly friend a gentle smile. Viper smiled back weakly.

"You nearly ready?" He asked softly.

"Nearly, just have to fix my make-up again." Said Viper, forcing on a smile. But the avian could see through the mask.

Crane walks over to Viper as she fixes her mascara and lipstick.

"You still feel the pain don't you?" He whispered.

Viper's head bowed down low again.

"The past is so hard to let go Crane. I loved Marcus, and look what he had done to me?" Viper whispered tearfully.

"He was stupid to do that. I was furious when I found out what he did. You should of heard to abuse I gave him!" said Crane, laughing slightly.

Viper stopped what she was doing and stared at Crane.

Crane gave Marcus verbal abuse?

Viper was shocked at this.

Abuse was one of the words that you would never mix with Crane.

Her eyes went wider when Crane told her what he called Marcus.

"Why did you do that?" she asked weakly.

Crane hugged her tightly.

"'Cause your my friend Viper, and no one deserves to be treated like that by anyone." Crane let go of Viper and looked deep into her sea blue eyes.

"Especially if it's you Viper."

Viper felt touched by this.

Crane was always there for her when she was feeling down or upset about something.

He always told her that he cared about her and will always be there for her through thick and thin.

And he had.

"But sooner or later you have to find a way to let go of these feelings for good." Said Crane.

Viper nodded and smiled again.

"I'll meet you at the festival. I need to finish fixing my make-up." said Viper.

Crane smiled and left.

Viper sighed and went back to fixing her make up, but then she saw a piece of paper that caught her eye. She opened it up to see what it was.

She smiled as she read it all.

An idea popped into her head.

The others had no idea what she was up to.
