Month of Love: Act III, scene I
DB: Why are you saying that? This isn't a play.
Me: I wanted to. That is why.
DB: Alright. Well, enjoy all you readers. Who is it this time?
Me: If you read the chapter title, you will know right away. If not, you'll have to wait.
DB: Or, they could read the beginning of last chapter to know this one and next one.
The day started again, but this was not the Vally of Peace. We do have two of the residence of the Jade Palace, but they are in a hotel, as they are currently on the return trip from a mission they had. They woke up and smiled at one another. "That was one heck of a mission, huh, Viper?"
"Who knew that those rabbits could be such fighters when angered?"
"Agreed. At least Shifu said we had a few days off after the mission. You wanna have them here?"
"Of course, Crane." The duo left by way of the window, Crane gliding down to the street and towards a retaurant they had seen the first time they came through this town.
The owner was a middle aged goat. He cam to their table for their orders. "Two orders of dumplings, please."
"Coming right up."
The couple of warriors began talking about what they planned to do for the day. Their conversation was cut short when a group of boars came in. (A/N: Why do all my stories in this appear to have fighting to some extent in them?) The leader of the boars came to the counter and slammed his fist on it, yelling, "Where's our money!?"
The goat shakily laid a bag of coins on the counter. "Th-this is all I have."
The leader took it and counted it. "Your fifty coins short!"
"P-please. That is all I have!"
The boar grabbed the goat by their shirt, "Look! either you find the money or we will tear this place apart!"
Crane and Viper nodded to each other and stood up. Crane said, "Put the goat down."
Everyone looked towards them. The leader snarled. "We got a couple of wanna-be heroes, huh? Well, why don't we just show you what we do to them." He motioned for his followers to attack.
As the group charged, Crane and Viper got ready to fight. When they were close enough, Crane gave a kick and Viper used hertail as a whip, both of them knocking back their opponents. Viper slithered aroun her opponents feet soon after, quikly dodging each of their attacks.
Crane was fending off two boars, who were sloppily trying to hit him. He leapt back and used his wings to hit them with a gust of wind that knocked them off their feet.
Viper got her self coiled around the arms of one of her enemies and used them to hit one opponent that tried getting to her from behind and then hit himself until he was unconscious. She got off quickly and lunged at another enemy.
Crane just finished taking out his own two enemeis and was currently fighting another one, who was better than the last wo and had a mace that could easily crush his wings if he tried to block it. So, he stuck with dodging. He then did a sweep kick, knocking his opponent to the ground. The boar tried getting up, but only got a foot to the face from Crane. Crane spotted the leader trying to escape, so he use dhis wings to blow a table to block the entrance.
The leader turned and seen Crane and Viper standing there, ready to fight him. He got on his knees and began begging. "Please don't hurt me! I'm just trying to feed my kids!"
"The owner of this restaurant was just trying to get by, but he didn't resort to stealing."
"Please, I beg of you, don't hurt me!"
"We won't."
"You won't?" A look of hope plastered his face.
Viper shook her head. "No. We'll just send you to jail." Before the boar could say naything else, another table was thrown, pinning him between the two.
Everyone in the restraunt cheered for the two. The owner came to them with two bowls. "Here you go. Free of charge." The two warriors smiled at one another before enjoying their meal.
Two hours later
The two were sitting in a boat on the lake, Viper coiled up on Crane's back and Crane smiling towards her. After the fight at breakfast, they didn't have a lot of excitement. They were truly relaxed at this moment, wanting to savor every second of it. The wind blowed, slightly rocking the boat. (A/N: And the song, "Rock the Boat" comes to mind.) They both let out a content sigh. "I wish we could have more moments like this."
"Me too." Viper gave Crane a small peck on the cheek, and his cheeks became a rosy red. "So, where are we going next?"
"I thought we might take a look through some stores to see if there were any ribbons you wanted. Then, get something for lunch. Followed by a walk through the park, ending it by flying over the town to a mountain to watch the sunset."
"That sounds wonderful."
Before they could enjoy the moment any more, a familiar sounding voice shouted, "CANNONBALL!" They didn't catch who it was before they seen the splash.
They looked at each other and Viper began to ask, "Was that-"
"Na. It couldn't have been. It must have just been our imagination."
"Ya. You're probably right." Seconds later, their boat was flipped. They both got onto the bottom of the boat, which was now floating above the water. "It was him."
an hour later
The lovebirds had dried off and were currently looking for a place to eat that wasn't too packed. They finally found one that had a few open tables. They went in and ordered some noodles. Instead of getitng two bowls, they only got one big one. All they got to notice of their waiter was his tail, which was a canine tail. They both raised an eyebrow. "Did he really follow us here?"
"I think so." They both just shook their heads and began eating their noodles, but they never began to eat the same noodle.
After they finished eating, they left a few coins on their table. They started walking out, but stopped at the door, and noticed the waiter was keeping his face from being seen by them. They let a chuckle between themselves.
kitchen
The waiter entered, and it was Matthew with a fake mustche and he glared at DB, who was still wet from his jump in the lake and also had on a fake mustache. "Why are we doing this?"
"Because, I want to give them a good date."
"And why are we wearing these fake mustaches? I can understand myself. But, why you?"
"Because mustaches are cool." Matthew just rolled his eyes.
"I've got another hour of work." He then walked back to wait tables.
park
Crane and Viper walked through the park, with Viper on Cranes back. They were enjoying the serenity of it all. "I wish we could do things like this more often."
"Me too. I do wonder why DB is doing all this."
"Does he ever need an explaination as to why he does what he does?"
Viper chuckled. "I guess not. At least, he never does."
The two both shared a chuckle as they continued walking along the path. They stopped when they heard some romantic flute music playing from nowhere. They both just shook their heads and walked on, knowing perfectly well who was behind it, though, they would be lying if they said that they didn't like it.
Sunset
The two were about to land at the top of a mountain, when they seen on another mountain, a certain canine at a picnic blanket with a suit on. They flew over to it and seen DB wearing his mustache and standing perfetly still. When they landed, he began speaking in a really good, fake. French accent. "Greetings, madam Viper and sir Crane. Here are your menues. What would you like to have?"
They looked at the menues and there were only two food options, one dessert option, and two drink options. Crane replied, "I'll take dumplings and water."
"I'll have noodles and tea."
DB wrote them down and said, "And what would you like for dessert?"
They both chuckled at his antics. "I think we would both like to have cake."
"I am so sorry, sir, but we are all out of cake. Is there anything else you would rather have?"
"No. I don't think so." DB nodded and left. The two just shook their heads.
A few minutes later, DB returned, completely covered in ingredients. "Enjoy your meals." He set their plates and drinks in front of them. Before walking away, only for a violin to begin playing.
"Typical DB."
evening
The two stayed up at the top of the mountain, even after the sun had set, just enjoying the night. They were about to take off, until they seen an explosion of green, followed by several explosions of different colors. It was a fireworks show for them. "Did he really plan an entire date for us?"
"It seems like it." Viper smiled. "But, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it."
"Same here. He does know how to give a couple the time fo their lives. Though, I could have gone without the dip in the lake."
The two sat and watched until the display was over, and when it was, they were too tired to head back to the hotel, so they slept up there, DB making sure to throw a blanket over them.
And there's that story. The thing with DB was completely unplanned. Just sorta happened. Review.
