Squeals and Purrs
"No, Po, stop asking me." Tigress growled," One more time you open you mouth, I swear to God I will-"
"Please, please, please, please?" Po begged.
Monkey rolled his eyes, "That Po, he'll never learn." he said to Crane, who nodded.
"Poor guy, Tigress is going to kill him." Viper said softly.
Mantis snorted at this, "50 Yuan that Tigress kills him before we even figure out what they're talking about."
The 4 chuckle, before looking at Tigress, who indeed looked like she was going to explode.
"PO, WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP AND STOP BOTHERING ME?!" Tigress shouted.
Po cringed ever so slightly, before saying (for once) logically, "Tigress, you're feline."
"No." Tigress replied sarcastically, "I'm not."
Po looked confused, "But you are, you're a-"
"-Oh for heavens sake, Po. I was being sarcastic." Tigress snapped.
"Yeah, so, anyway. Your feline. So you're part of the cat family. And cats purr."
There was a dead silence from the other four who were watching.
"Uh oh." Crane muttered.
"PO, MAYBE CATS DO PURR AND MAYBE TIGERS DO TO, BU I DON'T! SO SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME AL-" Tigress shrieked, but was cut off by Po.
"Have any of you," he turned to Viper, Mantis, Monkey and Crane, "ever heard her purr?"
The four mentioned shook their heads.
"Although I'd like to hear that." Mantis said hopefully. Tigress glared at him.
"OK. As the Dragon Warrior, amazing, awesome and bodacious-" Po began.
"-get to the point, Po." Monkey said
"I hereby take it upon myself to get Tigress to purr in the next fifteen minutes."
Shocked silence followed.
"Po, don't be ridiculous, you won't live to see the next day!" Viper gasped.
"Too right, he won't." Tigress growled at him.
"He is the bravest person I know." Crane declared.
"I'm gonna be..." Po said, taking a deep, shaky breath, as if the next few words would kill him, "s..s..sensible."
Monkey and Mantis gasped, "No!" Mantis whisper-shouted, "He knows the meaning of that word?"
"Well, no." Po admitted, "But I know I'd suck at it."
Crane sighed.
Po turned to Tigress, who was glaring daggers at him, "Let's see if I can get this in one shot. You're a kitten-"
"I am NOT!" Tigress interjected angrily.
"-A cat. Part of the cat FAMILY. Chill, Tigress. And cats like to be scratched behind their ears."
Trembling, Po raised a hand o behind Tigress's ear. The other four, who were holding back her legs and arms, watched with bated breath.
Po scratched. He scratched for exactly 3 minutes and thirty-six seconds. It was clear that Tigress was fighting the urge to make noise, until finally they heard it. It was quiet and low, but very, very pleasing to her. It sounded cute, almost.
Tigress purred.
Viper, Monkey, Crane, Mantis and Po gasped.
Po let out a yell, "NO! I did it! I DID IT! YES, DID YOU HEAR THAT?!"
The oher four nodded, unable to speak.
"T-tigress..." Monkey said aimlessly.
"Did you... d-did she..." Mantis blabbered
"Oh... my..." Viper stammered
Crane's beak dropped open comically. Po hugged Tigress in joy. She looked half humiliated, half furious.
Until she suddenly giggled, "Po, STOP! That tickles!"
"You're ticklish?" Po asked, delightedly. He tickled her in hopes of another sound. He succeeded. She let out a high-pitched, very girlish... squeal.
Po started celebrating again. Monkey, Mantis and Crane seemed to have completely lost the ability to speak. Viper's eyes were as wide as saucers.
"I," growled Tigress furiously, "will deal with you five... later...after I... leave. Po. You are my sparring partner for the next month. You other four. I'm killing you." she left, stomping angrily.
There was silence until Crane said, "Sparring partner and killing."
Po finished his sentence for him, "Don't they mean the same thing?"
