WARNING!: Suggested themes in this chapter.

I've posted a summary of an up-coming story I'm in the middle of writing :) I hope you guys can just take a few minutes of your time and read it. Let me know what you think. Would you read it? And another thing, I'm kinda in a ViperxMantis swing right now. I know there ain't alot of fics about them out there- or fans, for that matter- but I was hoping to make some people believers :)

Very funny quote from Jim Carrey XD Very funny.

Everyone at the Jade Palace always took advantage of the rare day they would get off. Shifu seemed to be in an okay mood; happy, Mantis dared call him. They all either spent the day together just talking, or ventured into the valley to shop, mingle, patrol (according to Tigress), etc.

Viper had dragged them all shopping as the first order of business. She had so much fun that Mantis didn't even complain; just because he or Viper never wore clothes, he was the official "guy shopper". During their relationship, Viper had given him advice on how to help the other male residents of the Jade Palace with shopping (he cursed himself for being a good listener). So while she forced- ahem, persuaded- Tigress to buy new clothes, Mantis had to deal with the others.

"C'mon guys, at least humor her and buy something."

It was alot harder than he remembered- and yes, he had done it before- to convince them to buy stuff.

"She's your girlfriend," Monkey huffed, picking up a random pair of pants. "Why do we have to-?"

"No no!" Mantis suddenly shouted. "Red goes waaaay better with your fur."

He recieved funny looks. "... What?"

"She's actually taking away Mantis's masculinity," Po gaped. "What's next? Who's next?"

They tried to escape, but Mantis would have none of it. He picked all of them up and deposited them into a pile of clothes. "No way! Shopping time is Viper's favorite time! Please, just suck it up and BUY SOME PANTS!"

"Geez, you haven't gotten any in a while, have you?" Crane muttered.

"What?" Mantis almost choked.

"Hm, I wonder," Monkey drawled sarcastically, then smirked. "You're crabby, edgy, looking like you could use a cold shower. Face it, buddy- you're whipped."

They all laughed as Mantis turned a purple color. He coughed violently, then wheezed out, "Shut up!"

They only laughed harder. "I don't see you guys getting any!" Mantis blurted out. Their laughter died down. "Actually, when Mei Ling visits..." Crane admitted.

"Tigress..." Po blushed.

"Fan girls," Monkey winked.

"I hate you guys."

"Well, it's not our fault your not-"

"Thank you, Po!" Mantis stressed, looking warily at roaming customers that could overhear them. Bringing his voice down to a whisper, he said, "Hey Monkey, at least I'm in a committed relationship and not hooking up with random chicks whose names you probably don't even remember."

It was Monkey's turn to blush. "At least I get it in more than you!"

Crane, calming down enough to stifle his chuckles, stepped between the two. "Alright, guys. Let's just agree that we have girls and that we're all lucky to have them."

"I don't know, Crane," Mantis chuckled. "Monkey doesn't have a steady relationship, and behind every great man has to be a woman rolling her eyes."

"You've got that right," two voices said from behind them.

The boys froze, slowly turning to see Tigress and Viper, both clearly not amused by the topis of the boys' conversation. Viper had bought a new rose headdress, and she had convinced Tigress to get a stylish red and black, modest kimono dress.

"H-How long have you guys been there?" Po asked, stuttering nervously.

"Ever since Mantis dragged your sorry asses back in here," Tigress glared.

They all gulped. The girls had heard the worst of their conversation. Tigress grabbed Po, Monkey, and Crane, saying that Mei Ling and Monkey's girlfriend would hear about it. They were all but whimpering in fear of the wrath of the tiger. That left Viper alone with Mantis.

"H-Hey, babe," Mantis said, smiling nervously.

Viper glared, looking off to the side. When Tigress and the others disappeared around a corner, she suddenly smiled. She curled around Mantis, who was confused. "I figured you would brag about the times, but you actually lied and said you and I haven't."

Mantis sighed in relief. She hadn't actually cut him off, but he knew that if she ever heard him talking to them about it, she would. He didn't want that happening, and honestly didn't know anyone who would.

He pecked her lips, earning an "Aw!" from the surrounding passers-by. "Well, I don't want to loose you or 'it'. Do I get a reward?"

She smirked. "Let me think about it."

Mantis watched slack-jawed as Viper slithered off. "Tease!"

Who can picture Viper being a tease? I can! :) Please remember to read the summary of my new story! It's called "... And She Prayed"
