Author's note:

HI, well, this so another story I have been thinking about, like for a long time. This one is based on a song, at least the ending, I'm not going to say what song though, until the very last chapters, because it might give away some of the conflict. Anyway, hope you like it, I will be writing the holiday one when we are near Christmas! OH and even though I don't celebrate thanksgiving, happy Thanksgiving to the people who do! (I know is not yet but still).

Hope you enjoy it and review!

Chapter 1- The day

Breathe in, breathe out. Come on Tigress, you can do this! Tigress was telling herself, as she was walking towards Po, who was meditating over at the Peach tree. She was planning on telling him about how she felt. It wasn't complicated. Or so she thought. But right now, she didn't even know what to think.

Flashback, to a few days before this…

Tigress was in the training hall, obviously, training along with the rest of her friends. They were all trying to try out new moves, or new techniques. Along with Po, who was still trying to master his own style, one that was very rare.

Tigress was always focused, except for today, she couldn't help but to let her own brain start to overthink her emotions.

Lately, every time she is near Po, she feels…weird. She knew she could find the answer. But up until now, she hasn't been able to. So she has been thinking about why she feels that way. She sighed, she knew this could come easily, it wasn't as if this were a really big and difficult riddle, waiting to be solved.

After training, she went over to her room, skipping lunch. Everyone was wondering why, but none of them dared to ask her, not wanting to upset the feline. Everyone…. Except one panda.

"Is anyone going to go ask her if she is ok, or give her a bowl of soup?" He asked them, thinking that they would, at least he expected Viper to go, because she was like a sister to Tigress. But he still wanted to ask.

Everyone was quiet, when they heard no one said anything, they just shook their heads, a little bit ashamed.

"Seriously, no one? Why?" Po asked, his tone was bewildered and disappointed.

"Well, first of all, I don't want to get killed" Mantis said, Monkey and Crane snickered at his comment, but Viper just slapped him a little bit roughly with her tail.

Po just narrowed his eyes, not that he didn't understand where they were coming going from, because he did, he had even experience it firsthand, but he wanted, he knew there was another reason.

"Is not that Po, well, at least not all. Is just over the years, we noticed that if she has a problem, she solves it own her own, so it's better just to not disturb her, or she will get upset" Viper explained calmly. Now this made sense to Po, still, Tigress was his friend, well, best friend, and maybe a little bit more, but he preferred not to think about that, since he has been trying to move on from his crush of Tigress. He had, still has, a crush on her, maybe more, but he is trying to move on, because well, Tigress is not interested in him, not that he knew of.

"Well, I'm still going to bring her some soup"

"Don't worry, we'll pay for your funeral dude" Mantis told him, Monkey let out a chuckle, but Viper just glared at them, and Po, well, he also laughed at this, but not because it was funny, well, that was part of it, the other part is because there was a chance that he had just signed up for his death.

With Tigress…

Ok, just think, emotions, I feel butterflies, I feel happy, I feel warm, I feel safe, it involves Po, another person. That's it! It's …

She got interrupted as she was about to solve the riddle that had been bugging her, she heard someone enter her room, she turned around and saw Po looking at her, with that sweet smile, and a bowl of soup. She smiled,

Love.

As on cue, the butterflies came into her stomach, but this time, she had already gotten used to them, and she had even grown to like them.

"Hi, I just came in to see if you were ok" Po said, then he looked at the bowl on his hands

"And I bought you some soup, I thought you might want to eat something" He said with a smile. Tigress was smiling, staring at him, and admiring how kind he was. She would have never imagined she would have fallen in love with a panda, much less Po. But destiny is really weird, and now here she was, staring dreamily at Po.

When she realized she was staring she quickly regained her posture.

"I'm ok now" She said. Po raised an eyebrow, it was a weird answer did she mean she is ok now, or now that I'm here? Po thought. Once Tigress analyzed quickly what she said, she quickly shook her hands.

"I mean, I'm ok now, because I got rid of what was making me…upset" She said hoping Po didn't get any more suspicious. To her relief, he didn't, he just handed her the soup.

Po seemed satisfied with the response, but deep down, he was a little disappointed that she didn't meant him. Tigress took the bowl and sat at her bed, scooting over so there was space for Po to sit as well. He sat down.

"So do you want to talk about it?" He asked her. Tigress chuckled a little, she find it funny yet kind how Po always wanted to talk things out, mostly with her, even though he knew she wasn't that kind of person.

"Nah, I'm ok, really, now I just have to see what I can do about my problem" She said, then regretted it.

"And what's the problem?" Po asked, happy that she opened to him a little. Tigress was thinking about a way to tell him, without fully revealing her thoughts.

"Have you ever wanted something else, but in the process, you are afraid of losing something you already have?" She asked him, she was actually talking about their friendship, and how she was afraid that if she said something about how she felt, she will ruin it.

Po was hesitating about his answer.

"Yes, I have." He said and stood, then started walking towards the door, but before leaving, he turned around,

"But I think if it's worth it, it worth the risk, don't you think?" He said, then smiled and left. Tigress smiled, after Po left, she laid back down in her bed.

Is it really worth it?

She thought. She couldn't stop thinking about what he said. She went back through her memories, trying to see if there was anything there that could help her. But all she could think about was him. The memories of the moments they shared were flooding back like a waterfall. And they didn't stop on coming. She sighed, wondering when did all this became complicated. She kept thinking, smiling at everything that reminded her of him, or silly things that he did. Or even the little things that he did, in order to try to become close to her.

I think you have gotten closer to me that you have imagined. She said with a smile. After thinking for a couple of more minutes, she finally came to agreements with herself.

"Yes, Po. You are worth the risk"

Then she drifted to sleep, her sleep was no longer disturbed by her unresolved emotions, but now by a new thing, how was she going to tell him?

Ok I hope you like it! Just so you know, this is still a flashback of what happened. And the next chapter is going to be too. Anyway, well, I hope you are enjoying it and please leave your reviews (I'm shooting for 3 in this chapter)!

Thanks for everything!

-Peace out :)
