Me: Alright. I am ready to do this thing. I have no pairings sent in, so I will be starting with pairings I have established. Then, mix up the pairings. I shouldn't run out of pairings with all the different combinations there are. And the fact I'm going to use characters from places other than KFP, shouldn't be a problem.
DB: Hey, we're all ready on our end. So, which pairing are you doing first?
Me: Not yours.
DB: Darn!
Me: We are doing Po and Tigress first, as that is the on most people like. So, let's get this show on the road.
DB: ENJOY!
It was a few minutes before the morning gong would ring, but inside the Jade Palace kitchen, a certain panda and a certain coyote were working on a picnic basket. "Thanks for helping me with this, DB."
DB smiled at Po. "Not a problem. So, where exactly are you taking her?"
"Up to the mountains. We're going to go on a walk after our picnic lunch. I sure hopw she enjoys it."
"She will. She's going to be with you."
"I know. But, I'm still nervous."
DB chuckled slightly. "Come on. What's the worst that could happen?"
"Your enemies could attack."
DB shook his head. "Don't you remember from a few stories ago, they're going to be laying low for a while."(A/N: YAY, fourth wall breaking! Oh, and I only own my OC's and these plot lines.)
"Right. Forgot. Well, I guess you have a point, there."
"Besides, if anything was going to happen that we wouldn't be able to handle, Star would show up. but, just in case, here." He handed Po a scroll. "It's the one for Jong."
"Got it!" Po gave him a thumbs up. The morning gong then rang and Po's face changed to one of fear. "Oh no. This was supposed to already be up at the mountain!"
DB whistled and in a puff of smoke, a ninja was standing there. "Take this to where ever Po is wanting to set up the date." The ninja then disappeared in another puff of smoke.
"Wait. How would he know where I was wanting to have a date at?"
"I have ninjas following each of you for your own safety."
"That's kind of creepy."
DB grinned a grin you would expect on a psycho. "I know." Po backed up a little while DB just chuckled. The others then began to enter. "Ah. Good morning, everyone." When Shifu entered, DB and Po both bowed and said, "Good morning, master."
"Good morning. Is breakfast ready yet?"
Before Po could answer, DB clapped his hands, and ninjas came out of random places, putting bowls of food on the table before leaving in a cloud of smoke. "Yes."
Shifu's eyebrow rose slightly. "Why did you-"
"I wanted to give Po a break from cooking after all the work he put into the date he has planned for him and Tigress." The others began chuckling while Tigress and Po blushed. "What? It's not like it's a secret anymore."
"Yes, but how would you like it if someone were to tell when you were going on a date with Wan?"
DB gave a blank stare to Shifu. "How many times has someone told about a date I had planned and I just said, 'Yes'? In fact, how many times have I told about a date we had planned?"
"Point taken. Now, let's eat so the lovebirds may have their date." Tigress and Po blushed an even darker shade of crimson and even Tigress' blush could be seen through her orange coat.
half an hour later
The warriors were done with breakfast and DB was cleaning it, while the others, minus Po and Tigress, headed for the training hall. Po and Tigress walked out of the palace and down the steps, towards the forest. "So, where exactly are we going?"
"There's this one spot I had found that was had a really beautiful view. Perfect fr a lunch picnic. Then, there is also this other spot where we can watch the sunset, and it is just perfect."
Tigress smiled at her panda. "That sounds wonderful. So, what did you pack to eat?"
"That, my dear, is a surprise."
"Can I get a hint?"
Po chuckled. "No. Sorry." Their moment was interupted by screams. When they looked ahead, they seen a group of boar bandits terrorizing the village. "Looks like the date is going to be pu on hold."
Tigress nodded and grabbed Po and threw him into the group of bandits, knocking down three right off. She then charged herself, slid, then ended with a kick to the jaw of a bandit. She ducked out of the way of a mace and Po knocked the bandit out from the side. They then punched another one together. They then threw a kick into two others. The three remaining bandits tried to make a break for it, only to be pinned into the wall by three arrows. They came from DB. "Hello."
The other two smiled. "How did you get here?"
"Well, Po. Zeng had come into the kitchen shortly after I finished washing them and I decided I'd come and take care of the ones you hadn't." DB then threw his nunchucks at the bandits, knocking them out. "Now, get along with your date." DB ran back to the palace, while the other two headed towards the forest.
an hour later
The two warriors were now at the top of a mountain, but not the one Po had in mind, but it did have a wonderful view. Tigress' eyes widened at the sight. "Woah. This is...breathtaking."
Po smiled. "If you think this is wonderful, just wait until we get to where our lunch is at."
"I can't wait."
"Well, if you look over in that direction, you can see the mountain that it is on." He pointed towards the north, at a specific mountain. "We just came up here for a small break."
Tigress smiled at him. "You sure know where the beautiful sights are."
"Well, as a kid I explored a lot. Though, the most beautiful sight I ever seen was you." The two shared a kiss, even though the line was extremely cheesy. "Are you ready to continue?" Tigress only nodded in response.
The two began their trek down the mountain, and towards the one Po had pointed out.
Noon
The two climbed up to the top of the mountain, and bandits had also made it to the top, though they didn't see the warriors, as they were gathered around the picnic basket. "HEY!" The bandits turned to look at Po. "Get away from our lunch!"
"You gonna make us?"
"Yes. We are."
"Don't make me laugh."
Tigress smirked. "Don't plan on it." She got into a fighting position. "We plan on making you cry."
"Get 'em." The bandits charged. Tigress leapt over them and landed on her hand, and spun with her legs out, taking out four bandits. Po hit the back of the neck of the first bandit, then kicked the second, and belly flopped a third. Tigress lunged past him, taking out another bandit and threw him into another.
Po smiled at Tigress. "Awesome." A bandit tried to sneak up behind Tigress, but just as Po was about to warn her, she punched him without looking. "Lunch?"
"Let's." The two sat down at the blanket with all the knocked out bandits littering the grouns around them. Tigress looked out to the east and the sight took her breath away. They were overlooking a valley that didn't have a village in it. Instead, it was filled with patches of trees, patches of flowers, and patches of just grass and a river ran through the middle of it. "Po. This is ...amazing!"
"I thought you'd like it. We'll be taking a walk through there, and going to a place to watch the sunset as the perfect end to the date." Po began pulling out some fruit, a bowl of dumplings, and a small serving of tofu. He then pulled out a tiger lily and handed it to Tigress. She smiled as she put it so it's stem was holding it by her right ear. "Perfect." The two shared another kiss before they started on their meal.
an hour later
The food was gone and the two of them were currently watching the clouds. Neither paying attention when a ninja came and took the basket. "If we want to get to the spot to watch the sunset, we should probably get going." Tigress smiled and got up, then helped Po up. They walked down the side towards the valley. At the base of the mountain was a small patch of flowers of many assorted kinds. The two of them walked slowly past each one, smelling them every once in a while. Occasionally, a butterfly would flutter away. The two simply walked on, enjoying the sights. They took a break by the river to get a drink.
The river ran slowly. It was actually more of a walk. (A/n: buh boom, cha! Sorry. Bad joke.) They were sheltered from the sun, thanks to the trees. The water was very cool and refreshing. They sat by the bank, leaned against a tree and the were also leaning slightly towards one another as they sat. "So, how often did you come here as a child?"
"I spent many summer days here. It was just so peaceful and a way to get away from everything. I often daydreamed while here."
"I can see why." They both let ot a content sigh. They stayed there for a few minutes longer before they stood up and began walking again.
almost sunset
The two lovers cwere climbing up the mountain, Po leading Tigress, as he wanted it to be a surprise. "Okay. Just a few more steps, no peeking." Tigress just chuckled and would have rolled her eyes. "Alright, now, open them."
Tigresss did so, and she had no words. The sun was low, though it was still a few minutes before it would start to set. The sky was starting to change colors, and the color it cast over them land left a truly breathless scene, more so than before. They could see for miles and miles, with several sparkling streams, reflecting the sun beautifully. The feilds of flowers and grass were just the perfect shade. The clouds were a pinkish tint, adding to the beauty of the entire scene. Tigress just stared with wide eyes. She turned to Po, trying to form words, but they failed her, so she grabbed him and gave him a kiss. After his surprise wore off, he melted into it.
After the two separated for air, they stared deep into one another's eyes. "Po, this is the best date ever."
"I knew you'd enjoy it." The two turned back towards the now setting sun. They continued to watch as the oranges faded to blues and blues to purples and purples into the blackness of night. They watched as the stars filled the night sky. "We should probably get back to the palace." The two began their journey back to the palace.
forest, minutes later
The duo was walking in the forest, when an arrow landed at their feet. They asumed fighting positions as bandits began exiting their hiding places with grins on their faces. "Seems as though we've got a couple of travelers who don't know how dangerous this place is at night."
"How about you guys give us all your money, and we'll think about not beating you senseless and leaving you for dead."
Tigress snarled. "How about you let us pass peacefully and we won't knock each of you out."
The leader chuckled slightly. "That's too bad. I was hoping this wasn't going to get messy. Everyone, ATTA-" He was cut off by a figure coming out of nowhere and kicking him. As quickly as it had come, it left.
The bandits were now terrified and looking around. "The phantom of the forest! Let's get out of here!" They began to run, but stopped when the figure was in their way. "Have mercy on us!" They ran the other way, only for some to get pinned to tres by throwing knives. Po and Tigress took out the rest quickly, then turned towards the figure.
"Who are you?"
The figure removed its mask, revealing DB's face. "Hey guys. Didn't expet you to be out here."
"What are you doing here!?"
DB let out an amused chuckle. "I had found out that the bandits seemed to becoe more active at night in the forest, so I decided to make a vigilante hero for the nights until they were too scared to do any more attacking. The ninjas helped. They sometimes do it. You should hear what the bandits say about the phnatom of the forest. 'He is as silent as the wind', 'He is faster than lightning', 'He was killed while in the forest, and now fights to protect others so they do not suffer the same fate', and my personal favorite, 'He is everywhere and nowhere at once. He is unstoppable'. Now, please don't tell Shifu."
Tigress smirked. "On one condition."
DB groaned. "This is going to go all the way back to forcing you to do both of our punishments when I first came here, isn't it?" Tigress nodded. "Alright. What do you want me to do?" Tigress had a full blown evil grin at the question.
the next morning
The morning gong rang and the usual, "Good morning master," followed.
Shifu was about to reply when he noticed DB. "Not one word." Everyone turned towards him and laughed. DB sighed. "This is going to be a long day." He walked towards the kitchen, he shivered slightly as he walked past everyone, his skin not used to be furless.
DB: Did you really have to put in that last part?
Me: Come on. I like comedy. Besides, you'll have it back by next one-shot.
DB: Unless you change your mind.
Me: Well..ya. Anyways, I'm still open for requests. If you don't remember the restrictions, look at the first chapter of this thing. Not this one-shot. The thing before this.
DB: Review while I beat up the author.
Me: Hope that I live!
