Great, after a hard day's work, it was wonderful to have a swim. Ling and his friends ran towards the lake, yelling. Yao and Ling jumped in, with Chien-Po not far behind, sending up a big wave. While cruising on the waves momentum, he caught a glimpse of someone's legs. Yao spotted the owner.
"Hey! Ping!" he called.
"Oh, hi guys! I didn't know you were here!" Ping replied nervously. The three friends looked at each other, confused. They had made a lot of noise coming in, and the huge splash caused by Chien-Po was kind of noticeable. "Well, I was just here to wash so now I'm clean and I'm going to go." He mumbled quickly, turning to go.
"Hey, I know we were jerks before, so why don't we…start over?" Ling asked, swimming over. "Hi, I'm Ling." Oh my god, he thought. Did I just leer? O god, I did!
"Hello Ling," Ping replied uneasily. Oh no! He must have noticed my leering! Ling thought frantically, trying desperately not to leer anymore. Ping backed into Chien-Po.
"And I'm Chien-Po," said the gentle giant.
"Hello Chien-Po," Ping stuttered, clearly uneasy about something.
"And I'm YAO, king of the rock!" Yao said loudly. "And there's nothing you girls can do about it." he added teasingly. Ping seemed really freaked out now, looking away from Yao's naked body. OK, so it wasn't the prettiest sight out there, but it was nothing to really be afraid of. Maybe Ping felt a little…inadequate? After all, he couldn't be more than 16, just three years younger than Ling.
"Oh yeah? I bet Ping and I could take you." Ling retorted, going into his best kung-fu pose.
"I don't really want to take him anywhere." Ping said. Was it Ling's imagination, or did Ping sound more girly than usual?
"But Ping! We have to fight!" Ling was shocked. No man backed away from a fight! Especially one so trivially important as this. Being called a girl! That was the ultimate insult, besides, of course, anything mother related.
"No. We don't." Ping said firmly. "We could just close our eyes…and swim around." As if to prove it, he began splashing the water around him.
"But…ouch!" Something swam up under Ling and bit his behind, just as he reached for Ping's arm. He jumped, clutching the bite. A little red serpent thing popped up next to Ping, who really looked quite girly with his hair down, and appeared to speak. "Ah! Snake! Snake!" Ling shrieked, swimming as fast as possible to escape the fearsome red serpent. Ping whistled, and his horse, Khan, came trotting down to the waters edge to meet him. Through trying to clamber up on to Chien-Po, he noticed that Ping had quite fabulous legs. No, bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Ling thought furiously. Thinking about your fellow soldiers like that, it's not good! It's like thinking about Yao that way! Ew! "Some king of the rock." Ling muttered, and then shrieked when Yao shoved him off into the water.
When the rest of the guys came splashing into the water, yelling and talking, and Ling was sure there were no more snakes to bite his butt, he cautiously slipped into the water again. Chin-Fu had decided to join them for a moonlit bath, acting all pompous. Yao grabbed the self-important advisor's ankle, causing him to shriek. Ling thought Ping sounded girly? It was nothing compared to the sound that Chin-Fu made! Very high, like metal scraping together.
"Haha! Chin-Fu screams like a girl!" he yelled. Chien-Po laughed, sending up great splashes of water that soaked the old advisor's slippers and towel.
"You men owe me a new pair of slippers!" he cried. "And I do not scream like a girl-EEEEK!" he screamed like a girl. Ling looked over to see what it was that had made the man scream like that, but only saw a dark shadow. Thinking no more of it, he and his friends started a water fight with some of the other men in the camp.
Like it? Hate it? Have passionate feelings on the subject of slippers? if so, then REVIEW!
