A/N: Hey it's me again, I imagine that the suspense has been killing you and I'm sorry about the long wait but my computer was going through some major problems but everything was still saved, and it's finally here chapter 4, Review and Enjoy ;-)

Chapter 4

Po had left, the palace, to get supplies for his picnic. In the meantime Tigress was in the training hall working on the swinging clubs, smashing each one that came her way with ease, she took notice of the sun hanging low in the sky

"Po should be back soon, better get ready" she said

She grabbed a towel, and walked to the bath houses, once she finished she walked to the barracks, to get ready for her date, when she entered the room she looked at herself in the mirror, she wanted to look nice for Po but she didn't know what to wear, she looked in her closet, there was the usual set of training cloths that she was used to wearing, then there was some casual going to town cloths, they looked nice but she wanted to wear something unexpected for Po, she looked deeper into the closet, and she found an outfit that she hadn't seen in ages it wasn't too fancy but it wasn't casual either, it was just right.

"Po is going to love seeing me in this" she said pulling the outfit out of the closet

She dressed herself and to her surprise the outfit fit perfectly

"Wow after all these years it still fit's" she said looking at herself in the mirror, but then a thought came to her mind

"I wonder if make-up will be a little too much?" she thought

On the contrary Tigress didn't own a single bit of make-up, the fact that she had the outfit she was wearing was because she got it as a present from Viper. A devious grin crossed her face

"Maybe Viper won't mind if I borrow some of her make-up for this…special night" she thought, and she made her way to Viper's room, she turned on the lamp, Tigress hadn't really come to Viper's room at all. The walls were covered in Pink paint her bed sheets were Pink with flower designs on them that matched the ones on Viper's head, and at the far corner, there was a wardrobe, next to a bureau, that had make-up supplies all over it, and a mirror right in front.

"Ok I can do this" Tigress said to herself, as she sat down on the cushioned seat

"No where do I start?" she thought

Tigress noticed a small booklet in front of the mirror, she took it and opened it up, it showed pictures and instructions to how to put on make-up, Tigress looked out the window, the sun was hanging a little low in the sky

"I don't have much time so something simple" she said flipping through the pages, then she found it.

"Perfect" she said, she laid the booklet in front of the mirror

"Thank goodness that Viper labels these things" she said and she grabbed the blush, and lipstick the booklet asked for, and set right to work

{Po}

Po was just coming up the thousand stairs, he left everything ready, he was so excited

"I can't wait to see Tigress's face" he said thinking of her reaction when he will bring her to 'the place'

Po got himself some new pants instead of the old tattered ones he wore, he had gotten his fur washed, and it was shining in the sun that was beginning to set. Po reached the top of the stairs

"Ugh…these…stars…kill…me" he said trying to regain his breath

Po noticed a light on in the barracks, but it wasn't coming from Tigress's room it was coming from Viper's

"Why would Tigress be in Viper's room?" he thought

He walked into the barracks, and then to Viper's room, when he was about to open the door Tigress beat him to the punch

"Oh hey Tigre…Whoa" Po hardly finished his sentence, when he looked at Tigress entirely

Tigress chuckled

"So what do you think?" she said turning around.

She wore a, faintly tight, white dress that stopped above the knee; it had a, slightly deep, 'V' neck and loose sleeves with see through cloth ending at her elbows, there were red and gold flower petal designs that wrapped around the hem line and led wrapped upward and around the dress onto her right shoulder, she wore the same sandals she always wears. She had make-up on; it was very simple, she had some light red lipstick, some very light pink blush, and some goldish-red eye shadow, that made her glowing eyes pop.

"Who are you and what have you done with Master Tigress" said Po getting into a fighting stance. Tigress had a look of confusion on her face.

"Just kidding, you look Marvelous Tigress, except for one thing" he said

"What?" Tigress

Po clipped a red rose right behind her right ear.

"There now you're perfect" he said

Tigress blushed, making the blush she wore seem darker. Po offered her his arm

"Shall we go milady?" he said

Tigress took his arm

"Of course Master Dragon Warrior" she said smiling and they left the barracks and walked down the thousand steps. The sun was beginning to set as Po and Tigress left the palace gates, Tigress was beginning to get curious, she had almost never been outside the Valley before except on assigned missions, and if they ever got a free day off she would rarely go out in the Village she would normally train.

"Po where are we going?" she asked

"You'll have to wait and see" he said

Oh Po can you at least give me a little hint, please?" she asked, giving him a peck on the cheek

"OK, OK, where we're going is very peaceful" he said

Tigress pondered on the question, she hadn't noticed her surrounding, until Po spoke to her

"Tigress" he said

"Yes Po?" she said

"Were here" he said

Tigress finally took notice, and gasped at the sight. They were on a mountain top, there were clouds surrounding it that didn't allowed anyone to see them, and the sun was seen in the pink and red sky, there was a candle lit picnic set up with a basket full of dumplings and two bowls of Po's famous soup, lying on the ground by the mountain pool that was crystal clear.

"Po you did all this, for me?" Tigress asked

"Of course, because you're worth this and so much more, that I'm willing to give you" he said.

Taking her hands in his and looker her in the eyes, a smile on his face, and on her's

"I love you Tigress" he said

"As I love you Po" said Tigress

And they shared a passionate kiss, and then they parted to breath

"I just gotta say you're a great kisser Tigress" said Po

"Oh I'm just getting warmed up my panda just wait and see" she said giving him enticing smile

"Do I have to guess?" asked Po

"No you just have to wait till we get home" Tigress said giving him a peck on his lips

"No how about we eat?" said Po

"Couldn't agree more" said Tigress and they both sat down to eat, little did they know that someone was watching them in the shadows.

"Mm, that was delicious as always Po" said Tigress finishing her meal

"Thank you my little kitten" said Po and they shared a passionate kiss, but Tigress quickly broke away

"Aww, Tigress it was just getting good" said Po

"I know, but I want you to get more when we get back home" she said smiling at him

"I'm kind of thinking that going out wasn't such a good idea, now that you're sort of torturing me here!" he said smiling

"Well I want you to work for some fun" said Tigress swishing her tail right under Po's nose

"And how am I supposed to do that?" asked Po, crossing his arms over his chest

"By how well you treat me on this date" she said swishing her tail brushing against Po's cheek

"Then I'll treat you like a queen, you're majesty" he said, and he took her paw and kissed it

"Oh what a gentleman" she said

In the shadows of the surrounding rocks a cloaked figure stood, watching their every move

"I'll get some wood to start a royal fire, you're highness" said Po bowing

Tigress laughed, but immediately covered her mouth, Po looked up at her in awe

"Did you just laugh Tigress?" he said

Tigress had her hand over her mouth but Po could see the deep red color on her cheeks

"Tigress, it's OK to laugh, it's just that I've never heard you laugh before" he said

Tigress took her hand off her mouth but the blush was still there

"Do you think it's out of my character to laugh?" she asked

"What? Of course not everyone needs to laugh, every once and a while, and that includes all hardcore Kung Fu Masters, but why would you think that?" said Po

"Well…when I was little I asked Master Shifu why he never laughed, and he said it would be out of his character, and so him being the only role model I had, I acted as he did, and till now I always thought that me laughing would be out of my character" Tigress said

"Tigress it's so not out of your character, it makes you seem more of the beautiful person you are" Po said

Tigress blushed

"Oh now you're just trying to flatter me to butter me up to give you a kiss, aren't you?" She said

"Is it working?" said Po

Tigress walked up to him and wrapped her arms around, his neck

"Oh yes it is" she said and she kissed him, Po smiled while they kissed, and wrapped his arms around her waist, then they broke apart

"I love you" he said

"And I love you" she said, and she hugged him

"I'll go get some fire wood; I'll be right back, your royalness" said Po

"And I shall be waiting" said Tigress

Po left, Tigress sat down on the blanket on the ground facing the now setting sun, absorbing the warmth it gave off, thinking of how the others might be, how Master Shifu is, but most importantly about Po, how nice he was, to her, not counting how he was treating her like a queen now, but almost all the time, he was so nice and sweet, and cuddly, he was wonderful, the best thing that happened to her, even though she didn't realize it when he first came, but he had a golden and forgiving heart, and she knew that he had put the past behind him, but she could never stop feeling that she should do something for him to show him how sorry she really was.

'snap'

Tigress jumped into her fighting position

"Po is that you?" she asked. Tigress noticed a shadow flinched from behind a tree

"Show yourself! Instead of hiding in the shadows like a coward!" She shouted

"Oh I am no coward my dear sister" said the shadow a cloaked figure seemed to stand up and approach her.

The voice sounded familiar to Tigress.

"Sister? I have no... What? Tai Lung!…you're alive?" Tigress said a confused look on her face

"My dear little sister you look lovely" he said

"Don't change the subject" Tigress demanded growling.

" Yes, I survived that attack the Dragon Warrior used on me" he said, his cloak covering his face from her view. Tigress wasn't fully convinced, that this was her foster brother, alive.

"If you're really Tai Lung, How did Master Shifu find you as a baby?" she asked

"I was left at the door step of the Jade Palace, he found me when he was alerted by a knock on the door" the figure said

Now Tigress was convinced, the only people who know how Tai Lung was found was herself, Tai Lung, and Master Shifu

"Why have you come back?" asked Tigress

"Why else? To take my revenge on that stupid, buffoon you call the Dragon Warrior, or should I say in your case your lover" he said

"Over my dead body will you ever lay a finger on Po" she said her rage building

"Oh really? Well I had a different idea" he said

"And what would that be?" asked Tigress

"This" he said

Then Tai Lung tossed the cloak he wore to the ground. Tigress gasped, Tai Lung's entire body had bits and pieces of metal around him, his torso had what looked like an iron belt and chest plate half his face was hidden in metal except for his mouth, nose, and his left eye had sort of a light instead of an eyeball, his right knee had a metal cap on it and his hands were metal like cat claws except for one hand that had a pinky finger missing.

"Who did this to you?" Tigress asked

"None other than Lord Shen himself, well before he died obviously, he found me in the mountains, half dead, when he was collecting scraps of metal to build his cannons, he took me back with him to Gongmen city, he saved my life, and help nurse me back to health, I was on the border of the Palace when The Dragon Warrior caused his ship to explode, and it is something that shouldn't go unpunished in my view" said Tai Lung

Quick as lightning Tai Lung, dashed up to Tigress, and hit her straight in the stomach and head at the same time, knocking her out, her body limp on the ground.

"Now then that wasn't so hard was it?" Tai Lung said, and he picked up her body, left a scroll on the ground, and no wearing his cloak, descended the mountain just as Po was coming back with a bundle of fire wood.

"Tigress I'm back" he said

Tigress was no were in sight, the only thing in her place was a scroll lying on the ground, he dropped the fire wood and it scattered all over the ground, Po snatched the scroll, ripped of the seal keeping the scroll sealed and tossed it down on the ground, and he read the note left behind.

{Po Reading the Scroll}

' To Dragon Warrior

If you value master Tigress at all, you will arrive at Shadow Chasm by tomorrow morning, or Master Tigress will be killed

An old enemy'

"An old enemy?" Po thought, he never remembered having enemies as a child or teenager, but nonetheless he had to find this enemy and save Tigress.

Shadow Chasm wasn't too far it was located in the Himalayan Mountains.

"No matter what I will find you Tigress" he said crushing the scroll into bits
