Thank you for reviews! I love you, guys!
New chapter. Hope you like it! And again, I will just mention Po and Tigress by who they really are, not by their form. Hope it won't confuse you.
A/N: I don't own kfp.
"Hi-ya!" Po let out a yell as he punched another swinging club, breaking it into pieces. He continued leaping from one log to another. 'Woah, it's like I can move like light' He jumped out of the training course, looking at his fist. He was amazed, after breaking so many swinging clubs, he still didn't felt a single sensation in his paws. Most parts of his body was just numb and hard as iron; or maybe too numb. "Really, Tigress has worked a lot on these." he murmured to himself, clenching his fist. He regretted the things he had said to her, even if he said them by mistake. She had been too busy her whole life preparing herself to protect her people, than to care about her looks. He should have just accepted her critic instead of arguing with her.
A loud pant was heard as the doors of the hall opened, revealing an overly-exhausted panda crawling in. "Oh, *pant* Damn these stairs!"
"Oh, hey Tigress." Po said, walking up to her. "So, how did it go?"
"I've never been so exhausted in my whole life!" She said while panting.
"Uh...yeah, I guess." He said, rubbing the back of his striped neck. "Tigress, I needed to talk-"
"Oh, here you two are." Monkey and Viper entered. "Where were you, Po?" Monkey asked, casually smacking the panda. Tigress let out a growl, which actually ended up sounding weird.
"Actually," Po started. "Tigress...uh, I mean Po was punished, so he was busy running up and down the thousand steps." Tigress stared at him.
"Oh, sorry for you buddy." Monkey said, caressing her back. Tigress smacked away his paw, that surprised him a bit.
"He is a bit annoyed. hehe," Po quickly bumped in again. "You know, because he's exhausted."
"Can see that," Viper said, caressing the panda's back. "Why don't we go and eat something? Lunch time is going to over."
"Wait, it's been that long?" Po asked. He really didn't noticed time while training. "Did I really trained that long? Without getting tired?" Monkey and Viper shared a look before looking back at the striped feline, confused. Po chuckled nervously.
"Well, I'm starving. Let's just go and eat something." Tigress, who was in Po's body replied, standing up.
As they all reached the barracks, the rest of the five were already there in kitchen, waiting for them.
"Oh, Po, you're finally here. I was starving to death." Mantis spoke up, hopping to the panda's shoulder who had just taken a seat at the table. "What do we got today, Big guy?"
"Um..." Tigress thought what to say. "Well...um, I have no idea. How about some tofu?" Everyone gave her a look. Po face palmmed. Tigress realized that Po would never suggest tofu. She forced a laugh to sound casual. "I mean, hehe... I was just kidding, guys." Everyone exchanged a glance and laughed.
"You got us there, Po." Monkey commented.
"Make your secret ingredient soup, Po!" Mantis exclaimed. Everyone agreed to the insect's suggestion. Po stood up from his chair.
"Alright then." He started walking to the stove.
"Um...don't mind me asking, but what are you doing, Tigress?" Crane questioned. Po stopped in track, realizing he was Tigress, he wasn't supposed to be the one cooking. He turned back at them with a nervous chuckle.
"Uh...sorry, I just, uh...hehe, I was just...going to get myself a glass of water." he excused, picking up a glass. Tigress sighed and stood up, walking up to the stove. "You think you can do it?" Po whispered as she passed.
"I don't know."
Sitting down at the table, the Four continued talking while Po kept looking at Tigress who just accidentally knocked off a jar with her large arms.
"Sorry." She apologized, bending down to pick it up; but as she did, her butt bumped to the shelf behind, which knocked of a couple of utensils and jars. She quickly stood up but got her head smacked by the upper shelf, knocking some more stuff. The Five, including Po sighed at the clumsiness of the panda. She growled. "Ugh! Who the hell put all this stuff here!"
"It's alright, Po. That stuff is supposed to be kept there." Viper replied, rolling her eyes. Tigress decided to cut some vegitables, but cut her paw in the process.
"Ouch!" She looked at er paw, it hurt. It actually hurt.
"Ugh! That's it!" Po said and stood up from his chair, marching up to the stove. He took the knife from her and began cutting the vegitables and pouring them in the soup. "This is how you do it," He explained, mixing the spices in it. "Now, stir it." He instructed, as Tigress began doing so. The rest of the Furious Five looked in awe at what they were seeing. Tigress and Po cooking together. Tigress took out a spoonful of soup and tasted it.
"Wow, it tastes nice." she complemented, offerring spoonful to Po as well.
"Um, it needs more salt I guess." He suggested, as Tigress did the same. She couldn't help but enjoy it a bit.
"This much?"
"You nailed it."
"Maybe some garlic can help."
"Go ahead." They kept on. "Alright, now pour the noodles."
"As you say." Tigress replied with a smile, pouring the soup in individual bowls and adding noodles in them. "Order up!" she served everyone the noodles. The four kept staring startled, as Po and Tigress even started eating as if nothing happened.
"These are delicious!" Tigress said in the 'Po manner'.
"Indeed." Po agreed, smiling. He noticed the four staring at them. "You guys, start eating." He reminded, the four began eating.
"Well, that was new." Mantis decided to break the silence.
"What?" Tigress asked.
"You know, you and Tigress cooking together."
"So, what about it?"
"When did Tigress started to cook?" Monkey asked curiously.
"Well," Po, who was roleplaying Tigress paused from eating and started. "Po's just started to teach me some cooking, that's why." He said and smiled at her.
"Teach you?" he narrowed his eyes. "It looked more like you were teaching him, Tigress."
"Don't be ridiculous." He said in the 'Tigress tone' and continued eating, so did the others who were still a bit confused. Po and Tigress giggled at each other.
"Well, that was fun." Tigress commented as she cleaned up the dishes with him once the four had left. "Thanks for handling everything there."
"Yup, sure. Also, you're a natural at this, really. I bet you'd be a great chef."
Tigress tried to hid a blush but her white chubby cheeks revealed it. Po chuckled as Tigress elbowed him. "Well, perhaps that's just because I am you?"
"I don't think so." He winked.
She smiled. "Can we continue practising this even when we're normal?"
"Sure. Let's just hope we will get normal. Ha ha,"
She noded with a smile. "You wanted to talk to me about something during training, didn't you?" Tigress questioned after a moment of silence. Po hesitated a bit.
"Um, yeah. I mean, nothing special. Just...It's pretty hardcore to be you. I feel almost nothing in my paws." He said looking at his paws. "Dude, it's so awesome it scares me," Tigress chuckled.
"Yeah, it's nice to have my sensations back as well." She added. "It's been years, I barely remembered how it felt."
"You may had to work really hard for this, didn't you?"
Tigress nodded. "Only...I kinda regret it now." She looked down. "It's... not fun to have your feelings taken away from you. Only if I knew it back then."
Po stared at her for a a moment and placed a paw on her shoulders. "Hey, it's okay. I've got it now." She nodded. "You need a hug?"
"No, thank you. I am fine." She smiled and continued helping him with the dishes.
