Sorry about my slow updates! A thousand apologies! I've been feeling lazy lately. XP
Po and the Furious Five strode excitedly into town. Many of the people bowed in respect when they saw them. Everyone seemed to be having a blast. A few children ran by them with lit sparklers.
Po looked at Tigress. "Ya see, Tigress? You would've missed out on all of this if you'd stayed home."
Tigress rolled her eyes. "Oh, that would have been a tragedy." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She walked away from them. "I'm getting some shrimp rolls."
"You need to get out more often." The panda said, shaking his head. "You guys don't have enough fun."
"We have plenty of fun." Monkey protested.
"Not enough." Po pointed out. His eyes then lit up as he saw a large group of animals dancing. "Hey! C'mon, guys! Let's boogie!" He shouted, grabbing Viper's tail and pulling her along. She and the others chuckled lightly, following him into the crowd.
Tai Lung, Scythe, Yang, and Mei were sitting at a round wooden table watching a large number of people dance. Yin had, 'unexpectedly', wandered off, no doubt, in search of the fireworks tent.
Tai Lung chuckled. "I can't remember the last time i heard music."
"Jeez," Yang stated. "That prison of yours must've sucked big time."
"You have no idea." The leopard growled.
Just then, Yin walked up to them. He made sure Mei wasn't looking before whispering to them, "Okay, i--" He paused and looked around quickly. "I found the fireworks. Getting to them is easy, but..." He pointed to Mei. "What do we do about...you know."
Yang looked out to the dancing crowd. Then, his face lit up when he saw the familiar faces of Po and Crane dancing with the people. A smirk crept up onto his face as an idea suddenly formed in his mind. He tapped his brother. "Hey, look who it is."
The others turned and saw them. Tai Lung let out some sort of a groan.
Yang looked at his brother. "You thinkin' what i'm thinkin'?"
It took a minute for Yin to catch on. Finally, he smirked as well. "Oh, yeah!"
Quickly, they surrounded Mei and pulled her to her feet. She let out a startled yelp. "Yin! Yang! What are you two doing?" She laughed.
"C'mon, Mei!" Yin cried. "Let's go dancin'!" He then pushed her into the crowd. Luckily, she had bumped into the person that Yin was aiming for; Master Crane.
Luckilly, Crane caught her just before she fell to the ground. They both stared at each other in surprise for a brief moment.
"Oh." Mei laughed nervously. "I-i'm so sorry! I-i didn't...heh, heh."
Crane seemed completely mesmerized by the presence of another crane, and, a female, at that. Not to mention, she was quite pretty. He shook his head and let out a sheepish smile. "Oh...i-it's all right. Heh. I-i know you didn't mean it."
Scythe watched from the side. She let out a giggle, seeing the two like that.
Mei cleared her throat. "I'm Mei. You?"
"Uh, C-Crane." He stuttered slightly.
She laughed. "That's an original name. You...you want to dance?"
"Y-yeah! Sure."
Yin and Yang slapped each other high fives. "I'm a genius." Yang said.
Yin gestured for the others to follow him. "C'mon! Let's go before i die of old age."
"Well, at least we got Mei out of the way. Hey! I made a rhyme! Ha!" Yang laughed.
Yin and the others rolled their eyes. "Oh, shut up!" Yin drawled.
