Ch.1-The Talks:
It had been many weeks since the victory over Lord Shen and the lives of Po and the Furious Five have returned to normal, or as normal as things can get for them. For two of the warriors things haven't been quite as normal.
From the very moment that they had all returned to the Jade Palace things had been kind of weird and awkward between Po and Tigress. The atmosphere around them had changed tremendously, but they didn't really know why.
In truth Tigress didn't really know what it was about Po but he made her feel different. Every time she was around him it felt like there were butterflies in her stomach. It was a feeling that she couldn't explain, mainly because it was totally new to her.
But with Po, even though things seemed weird when he was around Tigress everything was basically the same as before; or at least it seemed that way to the others but Viper could see right through him. Whether or not he wanted to admit it; every time he was in the same room as her, he would get nervous, be barely able to think and he seemed to stare at her from afar.
During their usual daily training, Po had gotten distracted by Tigress which gave her an opening to strike. He was trying his best to stay focused while he was on the course but it didn't really work out for him. Everyone could see that Po was acting weird during training, and it was very entertaining for Crane and Monkey who had bet 10 almond cookies on who would win.
Next thing you know 'Boom!' Po hit the floor with a loud thud.
"Ha, ha, ha! Time to pay up Crane." Monkey said.
"Alright, fine… I'll pay up when practice is over." Crane replied in disappointment.
After Po stopped rolling on the floor, Master Shifu walked into the room and announced that everyone could have the rest of the day off, looks of both surprise and confusion were plastered on their faces.
He looked at them and said "Students, you been training hard for these past couple of weeks and for doing so i've decided to reward you with this free time."
"Thank you Master Shifu." Everyone said in unison while they were bowing. Shortly after they all headed off to the kitchen for dinner. Po was making his usual dish….. Noodles.
After Po had finished cooking dinner and served it to everyone, Viper had turned to Tigress and asked; "So Tigress after dinner do you want to go take a bath?"
"Sure, a bath sounds like a really good idea after a long day of training." Tigress replied.
At the bath house:
Once they both walked into the bath house Viper decided to ask Tigress a question she didn't really want to answer.
"So Tigress, what's going on with you and Po?" Viper asked with a smirk.
"Wh.. What? There's nothing going on with me and Po." Tigress stuttered while blushing a little.
"Oh come on Tigress don't play dumb with me. I can see that there's something going on," Viper chuckled. "The way he's always stares at you and you at him. It's pretty clear that you two have feelings towards one another."
"Wh..? No there is nothing going on between us Viper." Tigress quickly replied blushing even more than before.
"Oh really, then why are you blushing so badly?" Viper asked with a devilish smile on her face.
Sighing in defeat Tigress said; "Alright fine, I may lo… like him!" she quickly corrected herself.
"Oh, really Tigress? I couldn't tell." Vipers said rolling her eyes, with a sly smirk on her face.
"Come on let's finish up here and head back to the barracks for some rest..." Tigress said. "And please wipe the smirk off your face." she finished a bit frustrated.
In the kitchen:
With the boys, they were all sitting in the kitchen playing a game Mahjong and having almost the exact same conversation that the girls were having in the bath house.
"So Po, what happened during training today?" Monkey asked.
"What are you talking about?" Po asked confused.
"Oh you know, when Tigress kicked your butt." Monkey said.
"Oh yeah, I guess I just slipped." Po said while lightly blushing.
"Yeah that's right you 'slipped'..." Crane sarcastically said. ".. right after you looked at Tigress." he said as he suddenly burst into laughter, which caused Po to blush even more.
"So, is there something you wish to tell us?" Mantis asked slyly.
"About what?" Po asked trying to play dumb.
"About how you feel about Tigress." As soon as Mantis said that everyone started chuckling. "Come on admit it, you like her."
"Alright you got me, I have a thing for her ok. You guys happy now?" Po asked.
"Yes, but at least you had the guts to admit it. Even though you were as easy to read as a book…" Crane replied. "Well we should probably get going to our rooms and get some rest. We still have to get up early tomorrow."
"That unfortunately is very true." Po disappointingly said. "Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Everyone said their goodbyes and headed to their rooms for a good night's sleep not knowing what the future has in store for them.
