Author´s note:
Hi, so this is a story I been waiting to write! I wanted to get started on this other story but this one kept going into my mind, so I had to write it! SO this is set after the episode "Bride of Po". Yeah, I been wanting to write a story about it! Anyway, hope you like it!
Chapter 1- Jealous
"So why were you jealous?" Po asked her. Tigress and Po where walking back from the village, and Po couldn't let go of her apparent ´jealousy´ from the events of the day before.
"I was not jealous Po" Tigress replied.
"Yes you were. Remember how you were about to fight Lu-Shi? That means you were jelly" Po said teasingly.
"It wasn´t because of that, ok? She was suspicious." Tigress clarified.
"I don´t believe you. You were so jealous because I was going to get married with her, so I wouldn't spend any time with you" Po said, with a smug smile on his face.
"You weren´t? I mean, no! I wasn´t jealous! Much less because of that!" She answered.
"Sure, but we all know you were jealous" Po kept gloating. Tigress sighed in defeat.
"Fine. I was jealous, happy?"
"Yes you were… wait what?" Po stopped when he realized what Tigress just told him. Tigress kept walking, leaving Po behind.
"Why were you jealous?" He said, running to catch up with her. She formed a small smile, but kept on walking towards the Palace.
"You would love to know, wouldn´t you" She said and smirked. She then kept on going to the Jade Palace, getting ahead of Po and leaving him behind. Po was standing there, not knowing how to react to that. He wanted to find out why, and as curious as he was, he wasn´t going to rest until he knew why. He knew there was one person who could help with that, and that was Viper.
She was friends with Po and Tigress. And she could make Tigress talk, at least enough hints to know what she was talking about. He hurried to the Jade Palace, determined to find her. Once he got there, he went to the kitchen, only Mantis and Monkey where there.
"Hey, Po, want to eat some cake, you know is the one that was going to be for your wedding, or at least what was left of it" Mantis said. Monkey hit him gently with his shoulder for mentioning the incident, he thought that Po was sad about it.
"Hey, don´t worry about it. I´m over it, besides I realized I liked someone else, Oh and yes to the cake question" Po replied. Monkey went ahead and served him a slice of cake. Not paying much attention to the fact that Po just told them he liked a girl. But that was not Mantis' case.
"Oooh, who´s this girl you are talking about?" Mantis said teasingly. Po started blushing.
"What girl!? I have no idea what you are talking about!" He said, Monkey had the cake on his hands, Tigress came in and saw a weird scene in front of her. Mantis was looking at Po as if waiting for an answer, and Po was blushing, and Monkey had wedding cake in his hands, which wasn´t weird, but it was out of context.
"Uhh, I have no idea what´s going on, someone care to explain?" She said, but not as a question, but as an order.
Everyone turned to look at Po, who didn´t know what to say. He saw the cake really near him, so he took it out of Monkey´s hands and said.
"I would love to but" He put the whole slice of cake in his mouth "I can´t talk with my mouth full". Then he went into the hallway, leaving Tigress very confused and Mantis laughing.
"Ok, I don´t even want to know" Tigress said, leaving to the Training hall.
With Po…
He ran away from the kitchen and into the dormitories, where he knew it was going to be alone and empty. As he was going there, he looked back to make sure they weren´t going to follow him, but then he bumped into Viper.
"Yes, Viper I really need to speak to you!" Po said, helping her stand up. And shaking the dust off himself.
"Sure, but an apology would be nice as well." Viper said.
"Oh, yeah, sorry about that". Viper smiled.
"Ok, so what do you want to talk about?" She said. Po looked around them, to make sure no one was listening. Then he leaned closer to her and whispered,
"It´s about a girl… Tigress" Viper´s eyes widen at this. She was curious to know what happened.
"Ok, so what happened, or why do you want to talk to me about her?" She asked.
"Well, we were in the village for the supplies Shifu told us, and anyway, I kept telling her that she was jealous about Lu-Shi and…" Po was interrupted by Viper.
"Seriously, are you still on that?!" Viper yelled silently at him, knowing how Tigress hated to be bothered.
"Yeah… but that´s not the point. So I was telling that to Tigress and then she…" He shifted uneasily on his feet. Viper was motioning to continue, leaning closer.
"She what?" Viper asked him.
"She admitted she was jealous!" Po yelled, but not loud enough for everyone to hear. Viper was shocked.
"Hold on, how do you know she wasn´t just kidding?" She said.
"Well, when I told her why she was jealous she told me" he started mimicking her voice "You would love to know, wouldn´t you? And then she left me with a smirk on her face" he concluded. Viper nodded as if getting more information from what Po said.
"Well, you are right, she isn´t kidding" Viper finally said. Po was staring at her waiting for something else.
"What else do you want me to tell you?" She asked.
"Well, I was actually wondering if you would do me a favor." Po told her, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" She asked, glaring at him.
"I don´t know you are her friend, maybe get her to tell you who she likes, or why she was jealous, or something like that?" Po answered. Viper stood there thinking, and finally sighed,
"Fine, I will do it. I will talk to her about it today…"
"Great!"
"Hold on, you will have to share half of the almond cookies you steal from Monkey though" Viper said. Po groaned but gave in.
"Good, I will go find her, and by late afternoon, I will probably have answers" Viper said, slithering away.
"Just don´t let her find out that I told you to do that!" He yelled. He heard a scoff coming from Viper and smiled.
He went with his other buddies, anxiously waiting for Viper to come back with answers.
