Hi! I want to give thanks to Crystalix and FFcrazy15 for reviewing. You both made me smile.
Chapter 3: Why'd you do that?
Po woke up to find that the back of his head was throbbing. He reached back to touch it and found that he had a giant goose-egg.
He scowled to himself. "How the hell did I get that?" He asked himself and replayed what he remembered: The Holiday decorating, the fight with Shifu, which he had won, and then...
"Holy crap." Po said, astounded. "Tigress kissed me."
Tigress had KISSED him. Under the mistletoe, but still...
Po's head started to hurt again. His head fell in his hands. Why did he have to ruin everything? Shifu hated him and all he had wanted was to spread the joy of Christmas.
He heard a knock at his door and jumped, disturbed from his dark thoughts.
"Who is it?"
"Who else knows when something is wrong?" It was Shifu.
"Shifu, I- I need to talk to you..." Po said slowly.
"I figured. Let me in." Po opened the door and Shifu walked in. Shifu leapt up and perched on Oogway's staff. Then he slapped Po in the face.
Po stumbled backwards. "What was that for?" he snapped.
"That was for revolting against me." Shifu explained. "Now. What's wrong?"
"Tigress kissed me..." Po said slowly.
Shifu slapped him again. "And that's for lying to me. Now tell me the truth."
"That is the truth."
"Be HONEST. Why the hell would she do that?" Shifu growled. His whiskers twitched in agitation.
"I... Don't know. Ask her! I am as clueless as you!" Po shouted. Then there was another knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Po and Shifu said in unison.
"Death. Now open up!" Tigress growled.
Shifu turned white... Well, as pale as he could get, anyway. "Stay away! It's not my time!" He shrieked in a high-pitch voice.
"It's Tigress. Now open the damned door before I bust it down!"
Po opened the door and she fell into his arms.
"Tigress... What's wrong?" Po asked.
"EVERYTHING!" Tigress screamed and a stray tear burst out. "And... I think it's because I realized something..." Her voice got smaller with every word. "I think I... I- I love you."
Po dropped Tigress, on accident. Then he fell over again.
"Well, looks like we need the medic." Tigress growled.
Shifu perched up onto his staff and slapped her. "This is for revolting against me." He slapped her again. "THAT is for kissing that... thing and possibly loving him. HAVE YOU GOTTEN HIGH OFF OF STUPID PILLS?" Shifu shrieked again.
Tigress' eyes grew a steely flint. "Why do you hate christmas?" She threw her hands up for emphasis. "And why do you hate HIM?" She gestured to Po.
"Because I never celebrated Christmas as a child, it's never been a part of my life before until now, I'm spending it with a panda who does what he wants, and my toughest and BEST student loves him. I hate christmas because I'm not used to it and now it's been forced upon me." Shifu expained and he walked out.
"Shifu... YOU GOTTA GIVE CHRISTMAS A CHANCE!"
I guess it's short, but it was meant to be that way. This was kinda like an explanation chapter for the other one. The next one will be longer. But PLEASE review. It means a lot to me.
