Arranged Marriages Chapter 1: A Normal Day. Or Is It?

Me: Hello everyone! Welcome to Arranged Marriages :D I am new here so I hope you guys enjoy!

Tigress: Weren't you trying to Submit a picture to DeviantART?

Me: Well, Yes, but that failed. Then, I somehow managed to do this.

Po: Ok... Well folks, Enjoy!

Disclaimer: No... I sadly DON'T own KFP. T^T

It was a normal day in the Jade Palace. It has been a month since they have defeated Lord Shen. Everyone though was either tired, bruised, or both. The Furious Five and the fluffy lovable Dragon Warrior were all sleeping soudlessly in their bed chambers. That is, until the loud gong rang throught the Palace, maybe even the Valley. Everyone immediatly stood in front of their chambers and bowed to their Master saying "Good Morning Master!" Master Shifu bowed down to them also and said "Good Morning Students. Today, we will be doing the same routine as we always do. Dismissed."

Everyone bowed to their Master and walked to the kitchen. Silence filled the room except for the stove burning up, Po cutting the vegetables, and the yawns of the tired masters.

"Po, can you hurry up with the noodles? I haven't had a decent meal since, well, EVER! And trust me buddy, I am DEAD hungry. I could eat ANYTHING edible." said Mantis. Everyone just rolled their eyes and Po said "We ALL are hungry Mantis. Just wait patiently while I make the noodles. They're about ready anyways." While waiting, Monkey,Mantis, and Crane talked about everything and laughed their butts off. While Viper and Tigress just rolled their eyes.

"Ok guys breakfast is served!" Po said while giving everyone their bowl of noodles and taking a seat next to Tigress.

The boys quieted down and started to chomp down their food. When everyone was finished, they gave Po compliments like they always did. Po always liked it when they complimented and he just said "Thanks guys." And just simply moved on to train.

Master Shifu was there and told them who was going to train/spar with who. "Ok, first off, Monkey, you spar with Mantis."

They both went to the middle of the training dojo and bowed to eachother. They hasitantly waited for one of them to make a move. When no one seemed to make a move, Mantis sprinted to Monkey, almost like a blur. The Master of the monkey style was shocked and almost got knocked down, but he blocked the attck just before Mantis could bruise him. Monkey then threw Mantis as far as possible and tried to give him a punch. Mantis barely blocked Monkey's attack but rolled out of the way just in the neck of time. Then, Mantis was about to hit Monkey's Pressure point when Zeng suddenly flew in at where Monkey and Mantis were just standing.

They stopped what they were doing and everyone got up and approached Zeng.

"What's the probablem Zeng?" Po asked. Zeng was panting and trying to catch his breath.

" M-Master... Viper... And...Uhh... Master T-T-Tigress... I have...Letters.. F-For... You..." Zeng said with pants in between. Everyone eyed eachother. Whenever they get a letter, it isn't a good, friend warming one. "Do you know who wrote the letter, Zeng?" asked Master Shifu to the calmed-down goose.

"Well, Master Shifu, They will have to read and see." Zeng gave the girls their letters and opened it. When they read them, they were both utterly schocked.. Everyone knew that it wasn't good news, just threw there faces.

"What? What did it say?" asked the anxious panda.

The two masters just stood frozen, unmoving, until Master Viper broke down and started to cry.

"Viper! What's wrong Viper?" asked the avian, Crane and quickly ran to her and hug her.

Tigress came back to reality and put her mask back on. "I-I...I'm..." Viper quietly said. "Viper...May I? I think I know what your note said.." quietly Tigress said. Viper's eyes widened but she calmed down, still crying. "O-Okay..." she said. Everyone then turned their attention to her. With a sigh, she began.

"Dear Tigress,
Hi, It's me, Tigra,your sister." Tigress gulped and started to get nervous but continued, "I know this might be a little wierd, but I am. Mom and dad have been searching all over China for you. However, we never got the chance to meet you in person. Well... this might sound awkward but... Since we have found you, we are-" Tigress couldn't continue,but she did, still trying to keep her mask on, through gritted teeth, she said, "arranging a marriage for you. We found out about your Past at Bau Gu Orphanage and thought it was terrible. So, mom and dad thinks that you shouldn't be training 'till you past out in the Jade Palace. And, to make you happy, they think you should get you married. I know, I am SO sorry. I know you might have someone you like but... Mom and dad think it's best for you if you get settled, married, have children,s-stop-" That was it. She couldn't continue anymore. She didn't want to say the next part. It would hurt her, and everyone else. "Stop...what Tigress?" asked Po. Of Course... That panda had to ask... The next part came in quivers. "S-Stop...K-Kung F-Fu...Forever..."

Everyone gasped. Master Tigress quitting Kung Fu? FOREVER? That was NONSENSE! "Stop doing Kung Fu? Forever? That's Nonsense! That's like telling me to stop eating! Impossible!" yelled the almost angry Dragon Warrior.

"Th-That's not a-all..." whispered Tigress, audible enough for everyone to hear.

"That's... not all? Sorry." Po said.

"Continue, Tigress." Master Shifu said, though he had a feeling something wrong was going to happen.

Tigress conitnued and said, "Also, we would like you to come back home... We miss you. A lot. I hope you come back home. You can bring your friends and Master Shifu if you would like. Come to the 'Valley for Saken'. I know it may sound weird but, it's a really peaceful Valley.

Love,
Tigra, Your meimei. xoxo"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it. No one knew what they sould do. Should they go? They didn't know. Tigress in an arranged marriage? Could that even be possible? Is Viper going with through the same thing? Maybe. Wait... VIPER?

"Viper, is that what your letter said to? Except, re-worded?" asked Crane.

They all looked at Viper and she sighed. They knew only one answer to that, yes.

"But... y-you two won't actually go... Will you?" asked Po.

"Do you think we have another choice? We have to get married to some.. some Guan Xi!" Tigress yelled, finally losing her temper.

"Tigress..." Po said. It was barely a whisper. And his voice sounded concerned.

"Now Tigress, there is no need to use that language... -Sigh- Wo de nuer, wo zhidao zhe hen nan, danshi, ni bixu lengjing xialai." said Shifu.

Everyone was a bit shocked. Master Shifu never really called Tigress his daughter out in public. But, they all managed to keep silent. Each thinking of different things and asking questions.

"Ok, everyone, it has been a... tiring day. We all should go get dinner and go to bed everybody." said Master Shifu. Everyone nodded and went to the Kithchen.

Silence filled the evening air. No one liked it. Why? 'Cause no one knew what to do with the Marriage. What would happen if they DID get married to some Guan Xi? No one knew what to do...

"Order up." said Po. Instead of his usual happy-go-attitude, his voice sundded dull and lifeless. The room was still quiet. Except of the slurps and gulps from her fellow companions.

Tigress didn't like it. She really didn't. That was something Tigress couldn't take. She would rather have his happy attitude, his jolly demeanor, his never depressed personality, his clumsiness and stupid conversations with everyone else. Sure his conversations would be stupid but it somehow always manage to bring smiles to everyone in the Palace. Even Master Shifu. Even Her. She would do anything to bring back his smile and take away that sad frown that replaced it. Instead, she said "I...I'm not hungry today. If anyone needs me, I will be in my room..." and left.

Po knew that she just wasn't in the mood to eat. Or do anything. Everyone ate their dinner in complete silence. No one knew what to talk about. No one wanted to know or say anything. For all they know, it might lead them into talking about the arranged marriages...

After everyone ate dinner, they all went to their rooms. Thinking at the same time 'What just happened?' before falling asleep.

ME: OKAY! What did you guys think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Instead of killing me can you just tell me?

Tigress and Viper: Y-You're kidding, right?

ME: Sadly, no, I'm not kidding. You two might have to stop Kung Fu. BUT! We never know unless you stay tuned for the nxt chapter! :D

Po: Hmm, this chapter seems a bit short. Don't ya think?

Me: My apologies for the short chapter T_T But, most fanfictions have short first chapters...Right? Well, anyways, Hope you liked it and STAY TUNED! :D Tigress! You are my translator! Tell them what meimei is, what guan xi means, and what Shifu said!

Tigress: -Sigh- Meimei means Sister and Shifu said "My daughter, I know this is hard for you but you have to calm down." And, Guan Xi means douches.

Me: Thank you! For those who actually speak Chinese, I'm sorry if the translation is wrong! I used Google translator! Terribly sorry! I just thought to have some Chinese and stuff. Well, see you guys in the next chapter! "The New Visitor"
