Chapter 1 Advice

Tigress sat, her legs dangling over the side of a cliff, reflecting on the day as a cool winter breeze ruffled her bright fur. Master Shifu had given all of the warriors of the Jade Palace the day off and they had proceeded to each go on their own way. Po, predictably, went to his fathers shop to visit and help out, giving the village a nice buzz with his presence. Monkey and Mantis spent the day trying to think of new tactics in the unofficial prank war going on between the two, which was actually pretty interesting to watch. Crane and Viper wandered through the bamboo forest outside the village like love struck lunatics; this was a common activity of the two, after they started dating a few months after the defeat of Lord Shen, thought Crane was still awkward in the relationship.

As for Tigress, she went to the small drop off below the musicians' village where she often sat to pass time. It overlooked the Valley of Peace and provided a peaceful, serene environment.

Her ears flickered. Someone was approaching her from behind, their footsteps having given them away. She started to rise and get into her defensive position until she realized she new the footfalls. Crane emerged from around a tree, looking slightly nervous. She relaxed and greeted him.

"Hello Master Crane. What brings you here?" She said gently.

"Hey Tigress, I-um-kinda wanted to ask you about something. About Viper. You see, I wanted- I mean I was thinking about…."

Tigress just smiled. She had thought of the avian as more of a brother, and he her, him having been the second new student at the Palace, next to Viper. She had seen Vipers interest in him immediately, but she didn't know how to handle a bond with a boy her own age, growing up in the orphanage. The two slowly formed a warm brother/sister relationship that not many knew about.

"Crane," she said, breaking the silence," What ever it is you need to say I assure you, I won't discriminate against."

He relaxed. "Well I want to get a Winter Festival gift for Viper but I have no idea what to get her. She has tons of ribbons and enough make up to paint a house, so those are out and I've gone blank on any other ideas. I was wondering if you could help me."

She thought for a moment then spoke up. "It's winter. Her being a reptile she won't be able to conserve body heat nearly as easily. You could get her a small robe that she could tie around herself to keep warm, even get her name sewn onto it. I think she would benefit." She said.

He brightened. "That's a great Idea! Man, it never crossed my mind at all, thank you. I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier…."

"Your very much welcome." She said smiling. He thanked her again, and turned to leave. "And Crane…," she spoke up. He turned back to her.

"You don't have to be so nervous around Viper. She loves you for who you are, believe me, I know. And you do too. Relax and let yourself enjoy the relationship not just worry about it." She said sincerely.

He starred at her, looked at the ground, and then spoke. "Your-your right. I just want to make her happy, I care for her so much….." He looked up at her again. "Thank you Tigress. Thank you Sister." He said.

She simply smiled and with one last look, Crane turned and disappeared back into the forest.

Tigress sighed contently and turned back to the valley. Seeing that is was getting fairly late she stood and started to walk back to the palace, when she suddenly realized something strange.

Man, I have never been hungrier in my entire life.

A/N: like it? I've always liked the thought of a sibling relationship between Tigress and Crane. Don't know why, just do. Review please!
