Mantis had to agree with his friend. One drink was one drink. How powerful could one be? He hopped off the counter and bounced around to find his friend. He finally found her talking to Po and Shifu by the chocolate fountain, eating chocolate-covered fruit. He hopped on Tigress' shoulder and the three looked over at him.
"So, how's it going guys?" He asked. Po shrugged.
"Good, I guess." He said. Mantis leaned in Tigress' ear and made sure the other two were talking.
"Can you come here for a minute?" He whispered. Tigress looked at Po and Shifu, seeing they were occupied, and sighed.
"I guess." She said, walking away. "Be right back."
"Alright," they both said. Shifu sighed and leaned against the wall, throwing the rest of a strawberry in the trash can.
"So Po," he began. "How are you keeping up with being in charge of the scrolls?" When Shifu asked that, Po's stomach jumped. He had totally forgot about the scrolls, even though he had just given them to Monkey and Mantis ten minutes ago. He smiled weakly and stuffed an apple slice in his mouth.
"It's goin' great!" He said with a mouthful. He swallowed the apple slice full and shuttered, walking towards the water fountain. "I need water..." He said, choking afterwards.
Tigress walked over to the bar and stood in front of Monkey, crossing her arms.
"What do you guys wa-," Tigress saw the drink only a foot away from her and gasped, looking up at Monkey. "Where'd you get the scrolls?" She asked quickly.
"Po gave them to us." Mantis said. "We made you a drink. It's only one, anyway." Tigress growled and clenched her fists.
"That must've been what Shifu hid from me." She whispered. "But I'm stable now! When I was nineteen, that drink was something I've never handled! I've had alcohol once in a while, but Shifu doesn't know that!" She paused and looked down at the drink, smiling a little. "Can I see that a minute?" She asked. Monkey handed her the drink and she took a sip, grinning widely.
"You made it perfect!" She exclaimed. She looked down at the drink she was holding. The glass was at least a foot tall, and it consisted of many different colors and varieties of drinks. She started to take big gulps, eventually downing it. Monkey and Mantis' jaws dropped when they saw her drinking the huge drink. When she was done, she threw the glass down and coughed, already starting to stumble. She had a loopy smile and she was leaning against the bar with her head down. Monkey watched in awe, unsure of how a drink could get you so drunk.
"Of course I am..." She said, lifting her head up. "I can get up fine."
"I didn't say anything, but okay." Monkey said. Tigress stood herself up and let go of the bar, falling down immediately. She knelt up and looked just over the bar, pulling herself up.
"I'm alright, nobody worry 'bout me." She started to sing, then started laughing. Mantis looked at Monkey and shook his head, jumping on his shoulder.
"That was a bad idea." He said. Monkey shook his head.
"Mantis, Mantis, Mantis. You're being paranoid. Tell me one reason why." He said, crossing his arms. Mantis pointed at Tigress and Mantis looked, seeing her pick up two wine glasses.
"Are these your action figures?" She asked, looking up. Her eyes blinked a couple times and she looked behind them. "This place is bigger than my apartment!" Monkey sighed and looked at Mantis.
"Look, maybe you're right, but I don't think she'll destroy the Palace. She's not that stable." Just then, Tigress looked over at Monkey and growled."
"What did you say?" She asked. Monkey gulped and took a shot of tequila, hiding it behind your back. Tigress unsheathed her claws and slammed her fist on the counter, looking Monkey in the eyes.
"Ich. Bin. Physisch. Stabil!" She exclaimed. Monkey looked over at Mantis and frowned, looking over at Shifu. "We're in so much trouble." He whispered.
Po was laughing at something Shifu said previously, even though it wasn't funny. Shifu glared at Po and his ear twitched.
"That was meant to be funny." He said. Po stopped laughing.
"Oh." He said. They heard a loud crash and looked at the bar, seeing Tigress throw chairs and punching the walls. Shifu remembered the last time that happened. She was nineteen. Shifu gasped and looked up at Po, turning his whole body around.
"Did you give her those scrolls?" He asked. Po shook his head quickly.
"No Shifu! I gave them to...Monkey and Mantis." He said. Shifu gasped.
"You what!?" He yelled, looking over at Tigress. "Well, at least she isn't speaking German." Tigress turned around and got up on a table, raising her hands.
"Ich werde zerstören!" She yelled. Po sighed.
"You stand corrected." He said.
