I should be doing other things but I'm SUCH A SUCKER FOR HAPPY TUMBLR AU'S. What is wrong with me?

So anyway, this won't be that long, chapters will be short, things will get fluffy and cute, and expect TiPo to the cuddliest cuddle. Make sure to review, favorite and follow for more chapters!

I do not own Kung Fu Panda.

"Hey,"

Po glanced up from the scroll he was reading and stared up to the sternly narrowed, golden-brown eyes of Tigress. Her arms, dark and freckled and uncovered, crossed over her chest, accompanying a nervous frown plastered on her face.

"Hey, Ti." Po offered a warm smile. "Whatchya want?"

"No one's close by, right?"

Po's eyebrows furrowed. "No, why?"

She sat down next to him on the moss under the shadow of the peach tree. "it's going to sound shady and kind of crazy, let me warn you."

"Oh?" Po put down the scroll and grabbed a nearby peach. He grinned, albeit suspiciously. "What does that mean?"

She seemed to gather her courage before clearing her throat and forcing out her next sentence. "I...need you to pretend to be my husband."

Po dropped the peach mid-point, letting it hang limply between his teeth. "Fwhat?" His eyes almost popped out of his head.

"I'm sorry to shock you," Tigress mumbled, pushing the peach back into his mouth with her palm.. "Look, I'm just as astounded as you are. Shifu asked me to-a high authority connected to the emperor is visiting in a week, and he's...very conservative. If Viper and I aren't married or in a relationship with a man in the Jade Palace, he sees us as unfit and worthless. He doesn't recognize us as warriors, and he'll shut down the Jade Palace for trusting a woman to guard their city."

"I don't like him." Po had now finished three peaches and was anxiously munching on two at a time. "I really, really, don't. He should be fired. Or you and Vipe could just whip out some freaking awesome moves-"

"He refuses to even see us without a man 'watching over' us." Tigress growled darkly, fire spreading across her eyes. Her nose scrunched up in frustration. "I hate him. He's visited before. But that was when I was a child, and marriage was not needed as protection, due to my father. Shifu."

"But now you absolutely have to be married. That's messed up." Po was pretty sure his pale skin had flared up red. He ran his fingers through his wind-blown hair and puffed up his cheeks, exhaling after he could feel the stress in his stomach slowly unknotting. "It shouldn't be too bad, I guess."

"We just have to pretend." Tigress shrugged. "Just when we're around him. I guess sleep in the same room, maybe. Shifu has a house designated to guests that he said we could use. There are separate bedrooms in there. Otherwise, it's all just a disguise."

"But...why me?"

Tigress smirked sullenly at her reflection in his green eyes. The curiosity in them went deep and genuine.

"You're the guy closest to me. My...best friend." Tigress suddenly couldn't hold his stare. She shrugged. "You were the first choice, I suppose, Dragon Warrior."

Po's heart thumped wildly against his ribcage. He rubbed his face with his hands, processing his even wilder whirl thoughts and emotions. Tigress might only see him as a best friend, but Po, for lack of stronger words, adored her. She was his idol, his comforter, his friend, the person in the background providing tough love and small, supporting smiles. His little blush whenever she'd talk to him had grown more obvious and prevalent. He couldn't stop talking about her when he was with his dad. Yet he respected her way to much to even consider confessing his ridiculous, heartfelt infatuation.

But maybe this opportunity was sent from the gods above. Maybe it was a chance to say every little crushing detail weighing down his heart.

He drew his hands away, breathing in slowly, meditating on his response. "Tigress," he turned around, forcing a goofy smile. "You feel like proposing?"

Tigress let out a relieved laugh, then took his hands into hers. "Po Ping, Dragon Warrior, will you marry me for a week?"

Po feigned a surprised gasp, then said in an impossibly high falsetto, "Oh, my dear Tigress, yes!"

Inside, his heart was sinking.

Hope you enjoyed. ^-^
