Possible Titles: Gutt and Shen Speak, Gutt and Shen on the Subway

Premise: Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda. Captain Gutt and Lord Shen sit next to each other on the subway and have a conversation.

Personal Comments: Writing this up at 3:00 in the morning. I've got a lot going on right now that I'm putting off in school. I am screwed!

Lord Shen was an awesome villain! He is was definitely one of the many things that made KFP2 better than its predecessor. In a way, he's sort of my favorite animated villain of 2011 (topping Rattlesnake Jake from Rango, which was not easy). And my favorite villain of 2012 is Captain Gutt, so I've decided to make the two meet.

And I saw Wreck-It Ralph a few days ago with my buddy. King Candy/Turbo was a pretty awesome villain too! The rest of the movie was really good and creative too! Really liked it!

A lot of neat animated villains have been coming out this year: Queen Victoria from Pirates: Band of Misfits, Captain Chantel DuBois from Madagascar 3, Mor'du from Brave, Gutt from Ice Age 4, King Sombra from MLP, and now Turbo from Wreck-it Ralph. Plus soon we'll have The Bogeyman from Rise of the Guardians!

Again, the Toon Town subway screeched to a halt. Captain Gutt continued to sit in his comfy seat as his body swayed with the motion. He heard the conductor announce something, and there was a chorus of footsteps as characters from assorted franchises boarded and got off. Gutt was not really paying attention though. He was focusing more on the mango he was eating.

He heard metal talons come up close and a figure stand before him.

"Pardon me, good sir," whispered a snaky, yet gentlemanly voice, "Is this seat taken?"

Gutt looked up to face an albino peacock.

"Uh, yeah. Sure," Gutt nodded. He pulled his brief case out of the way to let the bird sit.

"Thank you," the bird nodded as he took his seat, placing his bag at his feet.

The subway soon started up again, and then Gutt recognized the bird.

"Hey, I know you," He said. "You're Lord Shen, from Kung Fu Panda 2, ain't ya?"

The peacock turned to the ape and nodded. "Yes. Yes I am. And you must be Captain Gutt from the latest Ice Age?"

"Yep! Nice to meet ya!" Gutt held out his hand to shake.

"Likewise." Shen grasped his hand with his wing and shook. He had a stronger grip than Gutt was expecting from the feathers.

"So tell me," Shen continued once they let go. "How have you been since the release of your movie?"

"Eh, okay I guess," Gutt shrugged. "Been getting a few fanfictions around here. And you know Villain84?"

"Yeah. I know him."

"He's done a few weird things with me. First, he ships me with Raz, a kangaroo on my crew. Also, since he became a brony, he's been putting me in MLP fics, making me face off with the main pony characters!"

Shen started giggling. "Really now? Well, I think you should consider yourself grateful! He's clearly interested in you enough to write about you! I was his favorite villain last year. I may have been his profile picture for the longest, time, but he barely ever wrote anything for me. I think he just included me in a little drabble earlier in this collection, and that was it!"

"Well you should remember," Gutt answered, "when you his profile pic, Andrew wasn't as... open-minded as he is now with fanfiction. And he didn't drabble as much. But believe me: He loved you as a villain! He loved your story, your character, your plotting, your fighting style, the animation on you, your voice, how dark you made the the franchise, you were just epic!"

"Oh, why thank you," Shen blushed slightly.

"I dunno what he sees in me that makes him like me as much as you."

"Well, he thought all your crew members were memorable, and he liked your voice too. Mostly though, I think it was your villain song!"

"Yeah, Master of the Seas was a pretty awesome villain song, wasn't it?"

Shen giggled and smiled. They were quiet for a moment before Shen continued.

"Say, hasn't Andrew been getting more and more of a fixation on Madame Gasket from Robots lately? He's been thinking of making her his next profile pic? Maybe writing about her?"

"Yeah. He has. What about it?"

"That movie came out so many years ago. What suddenly sparked Andrew's interest in it? If I recall, he wasn't even that interested in it when it first came out."

"Beats me. I guess he was looking it up the other day, found a few scenes, did a few drabbles of them with ponies, and it kinda stuck with him. That's my guess. I dunno."

And then Gutt let out a light chuckle.

"What?" Shen raised an eyebrow.

"Wouldn't it be the creepiest thing if she was in the seat behind us and she just heard every word we just said?"

"Oh yes, that would be creepy. A little awkward as well."

They both started chuckling.

"Or how about the ponies?" Shen added.

"Oh yeah!"

Just then, the train came to another stop, and Gutt heard the announcer.

"Oh, this is my stop!" Gutt stated, grabbing his suitcase and standing up. "I'll be seein' ya, mate!"

"Please, come over to my temple some time for tea, will you?" Shen asked.

"Will do!" Gutt saluted.

"Good day then.

And then Gutt walked out the door onto the platform, passing by Turbo and King Sombra.
