Hi everyone, I'm back with another one shot. Please do review.

I don't own anything.

The sky was dark and the Stars were shining brightly. today, there were no clouds to hide there beauty. The wind was warm which was very unusual at this time of year. Below was the illuminating lights that filled the valley. The streets were crowded with people busy enjoying the lantern festival. Today was the fifteenth day of the new lunar year, which marks the final day of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Everyone was enjoying as much as they could. It truly was a pretty sight to see.

Back at the jade palace , The peach tree was loaded with the blushing blossom that danced around here and there with the warm breeze, adding more beauty To her surroundings. Her eyes were locked on the valley below. She did not enjoyed this festival. Because little did anyone knew, today was the day when she first stepped in this world. Today was the day she was born. According to some, Those born on this day either have an extremely easy life or a tough one. And her life. It was bad luck indeed.

She was everything but happy because today was her birthday and no one knew except viper. Viper even got her a gift. A book that she is never gonna read but still kept it, not to break her friends heart. Since viper first came to the jade palace and somehow found out about her birthday,viper always gets her a romantic book every year. Many times she (tigress) as politely as she could tried to tell viper that she doesn't read about romance but no that snake never listens.

And Po. He didn't knew. She sighed again . This was true. His thoughts meant a lot to her for reasons unknown. She felt as if there was some kind of connection between him and her. She wondered if he felt some thing like that too. She wonder how things would have been if he knew how much he means to her. How much she loves seeing his smile. How much she wants to feel his arms around her.. But why is she even thinking like that. She thought. that idiot! Stupid, clumsy, good for nothing, fat, handsome... cute,... adorable, lovable.. Wait! What was she thinking? Lovable Seriously. But why all of a sudden? A feeling that she was not accustom to rose from deep within her. That feeling was love. She loved him. But no!

How can She have feelings for him? She's a kung fu warrior for gods sake. She doesn't have time for romance. Amazing, she

Sarcastically Thought. Today she

Turned into a 25 years old women and she's thinking about a boy like

Some immature teenager. But come to think of it she never felt like this for anyone. Then why him? What does she sees in him that she couldnt see in any other.

She took a deep breath. And continued to stare the valley. Until her thoughts were interrupted by a soft but familiar voice. " tigress what are you doing here?".

" nothing po" she replied. He noticed my absence. She thought.

" mind if I join with you" he asked so sincerely. She responded by patting the ground in approval. He sat down, legs crossed and stared at the valley.

For a few minutes A uncomfortable Silence filled the atmosphere until he decided to break it. " I can leave if you want to" he said nervously.

" no, please stay here" the words came out before she could stop them. She did not wanted to look weak and that reply surely made her look like that." oh thats great" and a small grin creeped on his face.

" hey tigress you remember zain?" he playfully asked.

She turned around to face him. "yes I do, and I even visit him" her answer was followed by his laugh. She couldn't resists but to ask him "what's so funny?".

He stopped and lifted his finger at her " tell me honestly tigress, when you remember baby sitting him you do smile, don't you?"

She chuckled. It was true,thinking about it now, it was really funny. "hey tigress, do you remember that time when we got chained to one

Another?" he joked. She responded with a nod. " you know, I never got to know your favorite colour"

" As i told you before po, I don't have a favorite colour."

" come on, tigress every one has a favorite colour and I can guess your favorite."

" I challenge you to guess mine" she joked.

"challenge accepted"

Silence soon found its way in. As he had his eyes closed, thinking of

All the possibilities. She kept taking quick glances at his peaceful Face. After what seemed hours, he open his eyes to face her with a confident look. " I think I got my answer."

" so what is my favorite colour?" she asked.

" I thought about it a lot, you see tigress everyone has a reason to have a favorite colour. Mostly because it matches their personality or something important to them. I considered your personality and I think I just found my answer." he explained and after a pause, he continued " luckily, I think I have some thing with your favorite colour right now!" he squeaked. " really?" she asked.

He nodded and opened his mouth "ok I wanna give you a surprise,

So can you close your eyes?"

She nodded, closed her eyes and extended her arm. After a second, she felt something light in her paw. " you can open your eyes now" she heard him say. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see a small yet beautiful, elegant crystal . " I know, I know, transparent white isn't a really good colour but i needed an excuse to take this out and it describes you pretty well".

She looked up at him with bewilderment, asking for a reason. How this beautiful crystal describes her. He kept his graze on the crystal and continued " look, this crystal is just as beautiful as you are, it's hot not that kind of hot the temper one hot. But that's not the real reason. If you look closely, you will see a light in it. the kind of light only some see, the kind of light in your darkest time. The kind of light which outshines others. The light, which is the true quality of this crystal. The kind of light which makes it unique" he looked her in the eye and whispered" The kind of light i see in you. " he smiled And chuckled" and it makes the perfect birthday present!"

Her eyes widen, as the walls around her heart trembled and as her blood rushed to her cheeks. Weakly she whispered. " how did..".

" you thought I wont be able to get viper to tell me?" he interrupted her. She shook her head and looked at the ground. " thank you po"

A small grin appeared on his face. "no need to thank me tigress, that's what friends do".

" I.. I wanna give you som- something to" she stammered out.

" me? Why it's not my birthday" he answered. " please" she requested.

"okay" he said and closed his eyes. She sat still not sure what to do now. After gathering herself, she leaned forward and held her breath. She was only an inch away from his face, from his lips. But that would be too quick she was still not sure about her and his feelings so instead of making things awkward, she placed her lips on his cheek. Right there and then she knew, that she loved him, that she belongs to him. She knew the reason why to. Because he cared. Because he made her feel special. And to express her gratitude for making her feel love, this was the least she could do.

She felt his body tense up.

She moved back and it was over. lowering her gaze, she waited for a response. It was just a small peek but it meant a lot for both of them. He opened his eyes and observed her. The redness of her cheek. Her lips which were curled up to form a small nervous smile. her beautiful ember eyes shining brightly And the hint of gratitude and feelings in the peck she just give.

He smiled and whispered "thank you". She moved her gaze from the ground to him. Seeing him smile, she felt relief flowing through out her body.

silence moved in again but this was different. This silence was peaceful, relaxing, comfortable. They just sat there for a while. Both lost in each others eyes. Their hearts connected by a mysterious force. It was all too perfect but things don't last do they.

Their moment was interrupted by the boom of the fireworks. Bringing them back to the reality. " I should better go" she said as she stood up.

" ok goodnight tigress"

She nodded and left. His eyes followed her till she was out of sight. Sighing, he stared at the ground.

She jumped and finally got to her destination. From here she could see but not be seen. Her eyes caught his hand, slowly moving towards his cheek. His fingertips rested on the place her lips met . A smile creeped on his face as he closed his eyes and moved his fingertips to his lips. He was convincing himself that someday his lips will meet hers. She understood and smiled. He too felt that connection. He too had feelings for her. She smiled broadly, her luck wasn't as bad as she thought it loved her like she loved him. And that was everything.

Please read and review I did a lot of effort on this one. Believe it or not this idea came in my mind as a songfic. And yes I did the whole "he and she" on purpose. Just wanted to give something like that a try.
