As they were walking back to the palace. Po was smiling and so was Tigress. They had now let go of each other to avoid any awkward moments. As they progressed threw the valley Po's stomach started rumbling he was actually very hungry he had skipped dinner to come with Tigress to the theatre.

Po looked over at Tigress and smiled.

"Hey Tigress you want to go and get something to eat" Po said while rubbing his stomach. Tigress smiled and said

"alright lets go" She said with a sly smile.

They started to walk to Mr. pings restaurant to go and eat. They knew that those were the best noodles in the valley so they went there when they belly's needed satisfying. The two approached the door to inside the noodle shop. They stopped and looked around for a table.

The shop was full. It was so filled that they didn't know how they were going to walk in let alone sit. As they looked around they noticed a pig sitting at the table waving them over. Po looked and smiled. He turned to Tigress.

"What do you think he wants" Po said looking back at the man.

"I don't know maybe he is another one of your fans" Tigress said smiling

As they proceeded to walk over. The pigs smile got bigger. When Po and Tigress reached the table they smiled and bowed. Tigress started to say

"how can we be of assistance to you" Tigress said looking at the smiling man.

"it's not how you can help me it's how I can help you" the pig said getting up

"and what would that be" Po said stepping in front of Tigress a little. She noticed this and got a sudden rush of heat to her cheeks. Seeing Po being protective of her made her blush.

"I see you two have come to this restaurant to eat if I'm not mistaken" The pig said

"yes what of it" Tigress said behind Po slightly.

"well you see I have finished my meal and wondered if you two would like my table. I would have just left it but as soon as I would get up to leave it would be filled" The pig said with a slight smile

"Yes we would like your table if you don't mind" Po said. The Pig bowed and left. As the two were going to sit down Po pulled out the chair for Tigress. She smiled and sat down as Po said

"I will be right back I'm going to go get my dad to make us some noodles ok" Po said. Tigress nodded. Po walked towards the kitchen and entered. Tigress looked around and noticed everyone having a good time. She could not help but smile at the laughing and happiness of the mood in the restaurant.

While she was looking around she noticed another Tiger walk in. he had complete black fur and had blue eyes. He was about as tall as Tigress. She looked at him for a little bit then shrugged it of and went to look around the room again.

What Tigress hadn't noticed is as soon as she turned her attention else where he had noticed her. The feline smiled as he made his way over to her. Tigress had not noticed him walk up to her with all the loud noises. He sat down in front of her and smiled.

He looked at her with a cocky smile as he looked her over. Tigress was getting annoyed by his cocky attitude. She narrowed her eyes and spoke

"Look anymore and loose an eye" She spat at the tiger. He just smiled

"oh I see we got a feisty one do we" He said while puffing out his chest trying to impress her.

"Why don't me and you get to know each other better" the Tiger said taking her hand. Tigress quickly took her hand away and glared.

"Beat it I'm with someone" Tigress said looking away. The tiger smiled and got up and went into her field of vision.

"hard to get I like that ,but how rude of me my name is Xue" Xue said smiling and showing of his fangs. Tigress was not impressed. She knew who her heart belonged to and it wasn't him.

"I told you get lost I'm with someone" Tigress said loosing her patience. This time Xue was being more forceful. He grabbed her hand and stood her up.

"Come on give me a chance. Most girls don't get a chance with this" He said looking himself over. Tigress tried to brake free but couldn't. She knew that if she kicked him he could go flying into someone and hurt them. What she didn't notice is the panda walking back up with two bowls of noodles.

"Hey Tigress who is your friend" Po said putting the plates on the table. Tigress quickly turned and saw the panda.

"where not friends this guy just doesn't get it that I'm not interested" Tigress said a little angry. Po quickly went around the table and grabbed Xue and pushed him just enough for him to let go of Tigress.

"Look buddy She is not interested move along" Po said. Xue looked the panda over and got a smile.

"oh I get it your with this panda aren't you" Xue said looking back at Tigress.

"Really you could do so much better than him" Xue said again. Tigress was getting angrier by the second

"I mean just look at him" He said poking Po's stomach. And flexing his muscles. Po pushed his hand away.

"Move along buddy last warning" Po said sternly. Xue looked at him with astonishment but then turned to a smile.

"You would not last a second with me tubby" Xue said arrogantly. Po looked angry now

"Alright then lets go outside and fight" Po said

"Ok we shall" Xue said walking out of the restaurant. Po started to follow until Tigress got in front of him.

"What are you doing" She said a little worried

"I'm going to go teach that punk a lesson that's what I'm doing" Po said going around Tigress but she started to walk behind him.

"Po I don't want you to get hurt" She said

"if anyone's is going to get hurt its mister tuff guy over there" Po said as he looked at the Tiger waiting outside for him. Tigress knew it was going to happen so she let him do it. As Po exited he stood across from Xue down the road.

The two locked eyes and started to run at each other. When they met in the middle Xue was throwing punches at Po who was easily blocking or dodging. Tigress was on the sideline watching everything go down.

As the fighting continued Xue was starting to land a couple of hits on Po but they were not hurting him. A few lucky hits and they pulled apart. Xue looked at Po with a slight smile

"We can stop now before I really make you pay" Xue yelled to Po. Po just looked and smiled. He ran at Xue who ran at him. This time Po was punching and kicking and landing a lot more then Xue ever had and his were actually hurting Xue really badly.

The fighting continued and Xue was now bruised up. Both of them throwing punches when they had a chance to. Po saw an opening in Xue's Block. Xue was Tired but Po was surprisingly still going at an alarming rate.

Po uppercuted Xue in the jaw. He went flying backwards and fell on his back. He didn't attempt to move. Po saw this and smiled. He had won. He started to walk up to Xue and he stood over him. Xue was now on his knees panting bent over head on the ground.

"You really should not bother ladies like that" Po said looking down at him. He didn't notice Xue unsheathing his claws under him.

"You are just lucky I'm ni…." Po was interrupted by Xue jumping up and clawing his face. He slashed Po across the face when he had jumped up. He was now running away. Tigress saw what happened and ran over to Po.

"POOOO" She yelled as she ran to the panda who was on his knees with a hand on his face

"Po let me see" She said as she pulled his hand away from his face. When his hand wasn't in the way. She saw three claw marks going up Po's face at an angle. Tigress rage grew inside of her. As she stood up and was going to run after Xue but was stopped by Po.

Po put a hand in front of her.

"No let him go he wont come back" Po said still looking down

"But Po you cant just let him get away with that" Tigress said shocked

"I have proved my point. He just proved that he is weak with what he just did" Po said standing up

"come on lets get back to the palace" Po said walking away. Tigress looked at him shocked but then ran up next to him to head back
