Shocking News and The Argument

[In the kitchen, Po, having recovered from Mantis' acupuncture, and Sonic were cooking up food for the Furious Five, who were all sitting at the table. Po chops a radish mid-air and the slices fall into the pot. Viper, Monkey, Mantis, and Crane are listening to Po and Sonic's story with amused skepticism, but Tigress ignores them completely.]

Po: ... So I'm like, 'fine, you may be a wolf, [Chopped up some radish] you may be the scariest bandit in Haijin Province... but you're a lousy tipper.'

Crane: [Incredulous] Really? So... how'd you both get out of there alive?

[Po pauses for a second.]

Po: [Falters] I mean, I didn't actually say that, [Flips four bowls and expertly lines them up on his left arm] but I thought it... [Sonic ladles soup into them] in... in my mind. But he did try to flirt with Sonic and went on a date with him as he thought he was a girl.

Sonic: [Chuckles] Yeah, I thought it would be funny, getting a guy to like me. You should see the look on his face when I reveal my true identity to him.

[When Viper heard that, she was feeling a little bit jealous. A male wolf tries to flirt with Sonic and go on a date with him. A thought came to her; was Sonic... gay? No, it can't be. He just said it would be hilarious to get a guy to date him. So... no. He is not gay. She's glad because she wants to date him someday. But first, she needs to confess her feelings towards him. Today is not the time. And when she does at the right moment, they will be boyfriend and girlfriend.]

Sonic: Viper?

Viper: Ah!

[Viper yelped as she blinked out of her thoughts and saw Sonic on her right side holding a bowl of noodle soup in his right-hand glove to her.]

Viper: [Blushes as her cheeks turn red] Yes, Sonic?

Sonic: I brought your soup. And... here it is. [Placed the bowl on the table in front of Viper] You okay? You spaced out for a minute.

Viper: Y-y-yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Just thinking about something.

Sonic: Okay. If you say so.

[The rest of the five, minus Tigress, started eating/drinking their soup.]

Mantis: [Takes a sip] This is really good!

Po: [Bashful] No, c'mon. You should try our dad's secret ingredient soup. He actually... knows the secret ingredient.

Viper: What are you talking about? This is amazing.

Crane: Wow, you both are really good cooks.

Mantis: I wish my mouth was bigger.

Sonic: (Wow. I can't believe it. They all loved our cooking. Guess spending our life cooking in our dad's catering business with him wasn't a total waste.)

Monkey: Tigress, you got to try this.

Tigress: No, thanks. [Picks up her plate and picks up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks, ignoring the noodles] It is said that the Dragon Warrior can survive for months at a time on nothing but the dew of a single gingko leaf and the energy of the universe.

[There is silence as everyone realizes that Po has been put down yet again by Tigress and Sonic rolls his eyes in annoyance and scoffs.]

Sonic: (A gingko leaf and the energy of the universe? Hey, I know how to survive, Kitty. [Sarcastic] You obviously have never been in a restaurant that's run out of noodles. And also, I have great stamina.)
